[h3]Shizuka Otonashi || Warakuma Mall || April 19 SUN[/h3]
[i]Clack... Clack... Clack...[/i]

A pair of black heeled shoes tapped in a quick pace along the crowded streets of Warakuma Mall. The raven haired female, the owner of the said shoes, wore a simple, white sunday dress with a ribbon on the collar area, topped with a lavender, long sleeved cardigan. Both her arms were occupied with plastic bags full of fabrics of different variety and threads. With an accomplished, soft smile upon her half covered face, she thought to herself, [color=violet][i]"Goodness, these reasonably low priced sales will be the end of me. Or at least my savings from the part time."[/i][/color]

Shizuka was not particularly in a tight position financially, in fact, her family is pretty well off considering the fact that they live in a city close to Tokyo where the cost of living is pretty high. That aside, she felt that spending for her hobbies, cosplay in particular, should be funded with the income she earned herself. After all, even her parents had no idea of her dressing up in colorful costumes and hair, and working in a place that was filled with people of that kind, [i]her[/i] kind.

[color=violet][i]"While I'm here, I suppose I should also purchase buttons, ... zippers, ... laces, ...."[/i][/color]

[i]BUMP.[/i]

The contents of the plastic bags scattered onto the floor upon Shizuka's collision onto another girl who was half running and instinctively, Shizuka bowed apologetically and in a panicked tone, [color=violet]"A-Ah, apologies miss, I-I didn't see yo-..."[/color] Before she had the chance to fully apologize, the other girl and her female friend quickly left with a short [i]"Sorry."[/i] towards a shop that seemed to be on a time limited crazy sale.

Left alone to pick up her fallen items, she shrugged and lightly sighed, kneeling down onto the ground to slowly pick them up. While doing so, she softly mumbled, [color=violet]"There are sales going on after all, I understand their reason for rushing away... Bu-But my view is hindered from my overgrown bangs, sh-should I cut them? ... No, it's the only way I can hide myself... [i]Mumble... mumble...[/i]"[/color]
