[ Robby hands him the other plate then, here you go. Then turn the deer in his hand, an unsure look on his face. ]

I don't know what she likes, actually. Her omen's some kind of lizard...maybe dragon? [ He puts down the miniature deer. ] But I've got her a gift. I wanna get something for some other people. I was thinking a pair of birds for two who got together, and, uh...

[ Uhhh. He makes a faux wincing face at Mob before long. ]

Maybe a tub of fudge if I can't think of anything for everyone else?

[ He's so bad....at gift buying... ]

[ Wow, the call-out. It doesn't offend Robby, but he does make a baffled-amused kind of face at it, like wow, guess he deserves that?? You go, Mob.

He thinks he gets the idea of what Ritsu meant, but looking along the store with Mob's own suggestion, towards where the actual materials are, Robby does try and think about it. ]


If they have instructions with them. [ Maybe?? Let's walk more towards where the ribbons, buttons, craft scissors and all are here.

(Oh, look at that squid.) ]


Okay, so I can't knit. [ That's off the table right away. ] And I can't art. [ --oh, ] But I know someone who might like this stuff.

[ A look at the buttons, the quarters of fabric... maybe?? With some off the fluffy stuff?? He knows a demon with a hot gun who loves making things...! ]

Maybe he could make something if I got him enough stuff?

[ Can it really be a high when Mob changes his mind so quickly....

Mob, you're a special guy, that's for sure. ]


Glitter could be fun. [ He'll even lean in, speak lowly: ] He's not human. I don't know if where he's from has glitter.

[ Where he's from, a place called Hell. To some people, Hell invented glitter, but who knows the truth? ]

You know what glitter goes good with, too? Cards. You could make them handmade if you wanted to give gifts.

[ He's still at that age where handmade cards? Adorable. ]

Yep. You can always call it an end of the year card too, if you don't want to get too specific about Christmas. [ Since Mob doesn't technically celebrate it. ]

I'm gonna give some people cards, too. I'm not close to everyone, but it's nice, right? Oh. [ He gives a few clicks of his fingers. ]

Let's see if they have stickers or rubber stamps. Pictures we can put on 'em.

[ And not only glitter. ]

[ Glitter and glue BUT STILL NO TELEVISIONS, MOB!!! NO TELEVISION.

But also, god...making cards. Should he? He grins, and thinking of how not America this place was, gives a fuck it kind of shrug of his shoulders. ]


Sure. [ Stamps are definitely available before stickers. Behold -- and behold! ]

But let's get these if we're serious. [ Lifting up the alphabet!! ...whatever Trench alphabet looks like. ] We'll need ink too. How many colours? Many as we want?

[ Are we going all out, Mob? Being big kids? (look, there's sea animal stamps too!!) ]
strongroots: (by the sea)

[ We are squids. We sure are, Mob, buddy. Robby's listening with a tiny smile to Mob's mild ways, the coloured inks getting a look over from him (so, he should make a few cards? Hope people appreciate cards in this place), that he misses the instant that Mob gasps.

His brows start to show concern, then puzzlement at what it is that Mob is looking at. Except then he's showing him, and he sees both the stamps and Mob's face.

Oh. Oh. Robby's smile blooms into a grin. ]


You like cats? You look like you just found your signature stamps.

[ Fact: Mob is not leaving without those stamps. ]

I don't mind them, [ he answers in a very nonchalant manner. Picking out his own set of inks, and huh, he's getting a handful now. ] Never think about them, but they're cool. Like dogs? Never had a problem with any animal.

[ Though, he did get chased by a dog once... but he was trespassing, so. Dogs = still cool. ]

You ever had one? Cat, [ he means. A brief look before tidying up the collection in his hands. Okay, ink, stamps, some random materials for plush making... ]

[personal profile] strongroots 2022-12-19 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't know. [ Honestly!! ] Seems random, if you ask me. We've got dogs, Mister LaRusso's looks like a dog, 'cept when it's big; Tory's got a dragon-lizard, and my other friends have birds.

[ They are meant to be linked to their soul, so Robby's mouth quirks. ]

Think we're dog-like?

[ Got any opinion of their level of dog, Mob. (Also, unless there's anything else that catches their eye, they can start making their way to the shop owner....!) ]

Yeah? [ He knows what Mob means (is there a word for it? Comfort dogs? Lucky people?), and there's amusement in the word, bright. This is the second time he's been compared to a kind of comfort friend. ]

Well, [ to give this some very serious consideration, not at all amused as he places his products on the counter so he can bring his bag around to open, ] you're one of those small dogs. Terriers? The kind that sit around unimposing that you don't know what's going on in their heads, but they're fun. They're just on the quiet side.

[ What a conversation for the shopowner to overhear. Double cute. Robby's bringing out foods for bartering, showing jars of preserved jam and bags of dried meat. It's a good trade for this time of year, and the owner seems pleased. Robby looks at Mob, nods at him to the shopowner. ]

He's got his stuff, too. You wanna offer something, or pay me back later?

[ Yeah you better not, Robby knows how much those bloodgems are worth, will even say, 'Whoa, a little too much', but otherwise, the exchange goes pleasantly. He follows Mob's bow with a tiny nod of his head, amused, but leaves with him out into the cold.

But it's been a good trip. Different from what he was expecting, but fun. Looks like he'll be making more cards than he thought, brushing his hair out that falls from behind his ear. ]


Yeah, most'll take food if it's good. Everywhere takes stones, but those are better for buying cake.

[ Which they still need to do. But Robby hasn't forgotten how this all started for them, and he looks at Mob. ] Feeling better?

[ Fair, fair. What would be a good job for a fourteen-year-old from modern Japan, Robby wonders? Actually a hard question, when even Robby doesn't know what he wants to do.

Just as no one exploits him, that's all Robby cares about. There's just something worrisome about Mob and that possibly.

But Mob's answer to his own question is a good one, and he tilts his head when he thinks (wow--having his hair touch his cheek is weird. Feels like forever. ]


I feel good. I felt great at the time, [ if he really thinks about it. ] I mean, if I could react like that all the time in a fight? I don't think I'd be afraid of anything.

[ And Robby doesn't even know the half of the powers Mob gave him. Amazing. Magical folk get all the fun. ]
strongroots: (ohhhhh yeahhhhhhh)

[personal profile] strongroots 2022-12-21 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Surely, that explosion just messed with his hair, right?? Robby doesn't even think about that than he does the fight at the tree, especially as Mob mentions it -- and the implied confidence. ]

Well, thanks. No one's trusted me with their powers before. [ Kind of a joke, but also the truth? He gives Mob a friendly fist bump on the shoulder. ] If we get in a situation like that again, I'll trust you not to screw with me.

[ Ah. He touches his hair. ] --don't know if I need to get any longer with this, though.

[ Definitely a joke, and definitely the truth. ]
