Cheral Castella chatted merrily along with her friends as they walked through the mall.  They were quite the diverse group of individuals, colleagues, old high school-chums, and fancy rich 'kids' all together.  Their clothes were all quite different, ranging from dresses to leather jackets and jeans that made them all clash with each other.  Cheral herself was quite casual today, skin tight jeans, a green and white striped t-shirt with a tan vest on top.  To complete her look was some brown, lace-up boots and a pair of silver clip-on ear clasps for just the slightest bit of edge.

It was odd to see so many different kinds of people together but when one thought about it, it was actually pretty easy to understand how such a group might come together.  While it was obvious that many of these people had little in common with each other, they all had a central figure to hover around, Cheral Castella.  As the daughter of one of East City's most powerful mob bosses it made sense that so many people would want to be her friend.

Cheral knew all this of course, it was impossible to not notice how differently she was treated once they realized who she was the daughter of, but she didn't let that get in the way of her fun.  She couldn't change how people thought or acted but she could certainly have quite a bit of fun whenever she wanted!

At the moment as they walked together, one of her oldest friends was talking about how much she despised her boss.  She was a girl two years younger than her that she had known since she was a kid.  Her father worked for the Castella family as one of his enforcers so it was only natural that they had gotten to know each other from an early age.

"So I was like, doing my job, and I had to make some copies for the next meeting when my boss suddenly calls out to me from his office.  'Helen! Get your skinny ass moving and get me a coffee while I'm at it, capeesh!'  Gaah, what a creeper!  Maybe I should get dad to pay him a visit, but I think he's a little too wealthy for my dad alone to do anything.  Course if he had your dad along for the visit it might shut him up!"  Helen laughed and linked a arm around Cheral's while she hinted at doing her a favor.

Cheral rolled her eyes at her friends antics and chuckled.  Helen acted an looked like a 'valley' girl but as the daughter of an Enforcer in reality she was quite strong herself.  The impression she gave others often caused them to underestimate and dismiss her however, which extended to her office life.

Cheral decoupled her arm from Helen's and playfully nudged her.  [color=f7976a]"Now, now Helen, you know my dad's got a lot more important things to do than deal with some jerk.  Besides, if you really were having troubles he'd already be in the hospital right now."[/color]

Helen gave an adorable puffy pouty face and stuck her tongue out at Cheral before clinging to her rather rough looking boyfriend in a leather jacket.

Cheral chuckled and turned her gaze to her surroundings.  [color=f7976a]"Well guys I'm feeling generous today so how about we all dine for lunch together, on me!"[/color]  A collective cheer from the group could be heard as they all headed toward a fancy restaurant called Ponuello's.  It was a moderately priced Italian restaurant that always had fresh baked bread one could snack on before the main course, it was fine dining at a reasonable price.  As they all filed in though, Cheral realized she was forgetting something as she searched around all her pockets.

[color=f7976a]"Oopsies, I think I forgot my wallet."[/color]  She clonked herself on the head with a fist and everyone else groaned, this sort of thing had happened before.

[color=f7976a]"Don't worry guys, I'll be back in two gulps of a beer!  Why don't you all head inside and wait for me, shouldn't take me too long to find it, must be back home.[/color]"  Cheral waved to her friends and rushed out to the nearest taxi to head back to her home lab where she left her wallet, probably.

A young man on a bench outside the mall watched her go and then looked down at his smartphone.  A map showed up and a small icon could be seen going away from the mall...
