TFLN: Makeovers prevents phone disasters

[sponsorigami]

[[ OOC: Continuation of this thread. ]]

[ Ivan stands at the sidewalk in front of the Lyles' house on Gold Stage, looking towards the front door but not immediately approaching. In his hands is a small bag containing some green tea cookies and two bottles of tea. It's only polite to bring something when visiting someone's house. At least, that's how it is done in Japan. Ivan has little first hand experience with these things.

About three more minutes are still needed before Ivan gathers enough courage to walk up to the door and ring the doorbell. He hopes Karina is the one who answers. There will be less explaining to do, he thinks. ]

( Karina chooses that moment to Origami with a grin. )

Shopping.

( But with that being said, she rattles off directions to a slightly upmarket mall further along the Gold district. It should be affordable, but barely, since Karina predominantly has her own income in mind right now. )

You know the place?

Skipping ahead a little. Hope it's okay

[ Ivan nods because he does know the place. They had a call there just last week to stop a robbery in progress. Part of the food court had been completely destroyed. (And it wasn't at all Dragon Kid's fault.) Sky High ended up getting the points, but it's hard to compete against Sky High when he has the easiest time moving between the floors of a mall.

When they get there, Ivan only dropped his phone once after being jostled by a large man with an even bigger suitcase as they got off the monorail. He feels quite proud that he managed to save his phone from toppling over the edge of the Gold Stage. The man didn't apologize to Ivan, just continued hurriedly to wherever he was heading, and Ivan acted as if it was business as usual. Because it was for him.

Staring at the the bustling shopping center filled with various teens their age, Ivan is reminded how much he... doesn't do this, things that a normal teenager might do. Somehow it fills him with a sense of awe and wonder... which is a really strange feeling given that they are just going clothes shopping. ]

Where do we even begin in here?
