[OPEN] What is this place?

[frequent_flyer]

Who: Hinata, Otonashi, Noda, and YOU
Where: Virgo - Grocery store
Summary: Noda and Hinata are trying to fend for themselves for once and buy food to cook, but do either of them know how? Meanwhile, Otonashi is on the other side of the store, blissfully unaware that his friends have caught up with him for the first time since the Taurus incident.
Warnings: Excessive levels of idiocy and moronic behavior
Note: Choose your own adventure! Don't see a prompt you like, or want more than one of them? Just say so! Responses will come from Hinata (frequent_flyer), Otonashi (trainwrecking), Noda (halberdaxe), or a combination of the three. Specify who you'd like in the subject line!


Hinata could be found mulling over his options in the pre-paid card aisle. Which MMO did he want to buy credits for? Decisions, decisions... In one hand was a shopping basket containing beef jerky, protein shake mix, a variety of energy drinks, and a copious amount of chips and on-sale cookies.

Was he binging on snacks? Or did he eat like this all the time? From the looks of things, one could easily assume that he probably couldn't cook, if all the pre-packaged crap he had was any indication.

Noda on the other hand, was in the deli section of the supermarket, perusing the various meat products therein. A small sign sat on top of the deli counter, written in polite cursive: Be back in 10 minutes!

Noda, however, wanted to be helped now. Whatever poor soul happened upon him would find the purple-haired boy smashing his head into the glass display case in the hopes of breaking it to get access to the meaty treasures.

Otonashi looks a little worse for the wear, but happens to be out today for a case of canned coffee for those late-night sessions of reading (no, not that kind). He's harmless for the most part, but he looks exhausted and may not see you... before he bumps into you.

Literally.

He won't be around the store for long, and can also be found outside on a bench not far from the store... sleeping. Caffeine only gets a person so far, you know. If you wanted to be a real jerk, you could make off with some nice coffee, spices, or a messenger bag...

Comments

all the messy, just like the grocery store

[halberdaxe]

[Noda is slightly irritated. Not only he couldn't get what he wanted from the store, he was now stuck with a job to repay for all the damages. He's grumbling under his breath as he almost walked past Yuri... Only because he hadn't expected Yuri to be wearing a bikini outside. But when he does notice her, he stops dead in his tracks, dropping his halberd from his hands.

He tries to voice the exact thing Otonashi said but he can't find his voice. Great job, you broke Noda.]

[Hinata is the last to emerge from the store, visibly irritated, carrying a grocery bag full of junk food that's going to have to last him a week. And why is that? Because he has a ban slip in his hand, too. The three of them somehow managed to get banned from the closest grocery store to the apartment buildings, effectively making a trip to get food twice as long.]

[Thanks, Noda.]

Otonashi, are you going back to your apartment? [He asked, trying not to let the rage he felt carry into his tone. It was only afterwards that he noticed Yuri, just as baffled as anyone else as to why she was wearing a swimsuit out in the middle of the city. He looked it over, noting that it was different from the one she'd had in the afterlife.] ...Do we have to play volleyball on asphalt again. [Because he is so not in the mood for any bullshit that involves him bleeding right now.]

[leadthebeats]

Don't be stupid. No, I'm not going to the pool, and no we're not playing volleyball on asphalt again.

[ Because she had an actual reason for doing that. But she'll shrug, giving an all too dramatic sigh as she folds her arms over her chest. Time to make some actual conversation. ]

So, what are you idiots up to?

[trainwrecking]

It's not stupid! It sounded logical to me...

[What else do you do with swimsuits, anyway? Besides runway modeling. At the mention of asphalt volleyball, he visibly cringes, but says nothing.]

Oi, oi, can you ease off the insults right now? [Though yes, their day has been brimming with high-class, special brands of stupid and failure. But they've already had an earful of someone telling them how disruptive they are!!

He hesitates, his posture slumping.] We were shopping. It's... ah.

[halberdaxe]

[Noda keeps quiet while everyone else talks. He's so thrown off by Yuri's appearance and forgot how to talk for a while. But... Playing volleyball on asphalt? So Hinata got to see Yuri in a bikini before? He looks over at Hinata with a bewildered look on his face.]

You have played volleyball with Yurippe before???

[frequent_flyer]

This idiot got us all banned from the store. [He explains, jerking his thumb over his shoulder in Noda's direction. In his persisting annoyance, he conveniently ignores Noda's inquiry about seeing scantily clad Yuri on more than one occasion.]

See? [He offers out the ban slip for her to look at, figuring there's no harm in educating her on what dumbasses they've been today.]

[leadthebeats]

[ And she'll decide to answer all three of them separately, looking at each person as she answers. ]

For the record, I wasn't insulting you. I was just telling the truth.

[ Which, unfortunately, isn't a lie at all whatsoever. Sorry, Otonashi, she just has to ruin your fun really quickly. Next is Noda's question, grinning wide and mischievously as she tosses her hair aside, leaning in close. ]

What, do you want to play with me, Noda-kun?

[ The honorific's just there to make fun of him, really... And now it's time to answer Hinata. ]

You do know that if you want anything from there, you could just ask. But you'll have to owe me, obviously.

[ Just be glad she didn't laugh at you guys for it. ... Yet. ]

[trainwrecking]

It doesn't seem like it! [Swimsuits are for swimming! It has "swim" in the name!]

I'm not in the mood for this right now... [He readjusts his bag and turns away, completely ready to step away from this situation before he gets snippy with anyone. It's for the greater good, really.]
