It was a nice kind of day really, Brandon thought to himself as he walked through the front entrance of the local mall. He was dressed in a simple wife beater, with a button up shirt over it, though the buttons themselves were undone, and in khaki colored cargo pants. It was around this time that his mother felt like hurling money in his direction, even though Brandon was perhaps old enough to not need it. Some said that his mother simply though him too dim to really hold a job but then again that was a large assumption on their part. Not letting anything ruin his good mood, Brandon would simply enjoy his day of shopping around in the nice Manhattan Mall, a place that he had heard quite a bit about.

This was also a sort of reward that Brandon was giving to himself, if only because he had decided on a class as taxing as Literature. First thing he would do was maybe get something from the food court, such as ice cream or anything wonderful like that. From what he had heard, there was some delicious stuff being sold, and his stomach agreed with the notion that food was to be obtained. With his trademark grin, Brandon would walk onward, hands dug deeply into his pockets as he barely paid any attention to the people that walked by him. Once acquiring the ice cream that he desired, which was simple vanilla, Brandon would start his spree of window shopping.

While doing so gingerly eating the frozen treat, and licking away the small amount that displaced itself on his upper lip. He would start with maybe some new shirts, a beanie or something like that, and his shoes were getting a little ratty.

Briana exited a shop where she had just picked up a new sweatshirt, wool pea-coat, and a couple pairs of jeans. Shopping wasn't her favorite thing in the world, but there were times when it was enjoyable. Days like today. Thinking about where to go next, she glanced up and spotted a familiar blonde. "Brandon!" she called as she jogged up to meet him. Briana noticed he had stopped by the ice cream shop on his way in as he was making easy work of his vanilla treat. "How you feeling? You look right as rain from your accident," she said with a smile, remembering him at the hospital after being hit by a truck.

Silus wandered into the Mall, he was actually there to look at a pretty particular store, though at the moment he was in the mall he could already tell he was going to be disappointed. He made his way to the sporting-goods store, only to find that it was closed. He had been looking forward to going back into the far back and actually procuring a very specific gun that was on sale. Its closed...so no gun for Silus it seems. With a sigh, Silus walked through the mall, hands in his pockets, still wearing his usual clothing as he puttered around, hoping there was a dang Auntie Annie's or something. He was hungry enough as it was. He suddenly heard familiar words...in an equally familiar voice.

      "Brandon!" Oh god...

Silus watched from a slight distance as Bri jogged up to the recently familiar blonde boy that Silus had met in the medical center AND was his 'neighbor' in Literature. They were apparently at the ice-cream shop or whatever. Silus saw Bri and Brandon and was about to step on his path towards them, but he froze for a moment. Wa-ait...they might be on a date, or whatever normal people do. I run into Bri a ton too...at this rate I'm probably beginning to look like I'm a stalker of the severe kind. I-'ll just let them do their thing Silus rationed it out and with a little sigh he diverted himself to the pizza shop not that far away.

Brandon found himself nearly jumping out of his skin as he heard a rather familiar voice, turning to look upon Briana with a grin that seemed to slightly grow. He was honestly not expecting to see anyone he knew within the mall, but then again it was a large city, so there was always the chance that he would. Taking another mouthful of the ice cream, he managed out a greeting. ”I’m good I guess, surprising the type of people you meet.” He had managed to find a healing type person, so that meant the leg was no problem, though at best they just sped it up to where he could walk with only a minimal amount of pain, not that Brandon was willing to take the pain that he was dealing with now, the ice cream did help. It was then however that he noticed something….a familiar face. He then remembered who it was, and the grin only grew larger. Taking off in a dash, Brandon closed the distance between him and the other mutant, and wrapped him in a tight hug, tackling him to the ground.

Silus didn't want to be seen. But apparently he was, he was because here comes the blonde retriever now. Silus looked at him and wanted to move, but he sort of froze up. Well, he entirely froze up. Suddenly the blonde was upon him tackling him to the hard mall floor. Silus crashed against it and slid back a little as the blonde seemed to be using him as a surf board. They finally stopped skidding on the floor. Silus' eyes began to glow a bright green as he squirmed. His power had activated and he began to absorb Psyche of the little "doggy" like friend.

Silus, for a just a moment, could feel the mind of Brandon Hale. It was rather...empty. Silus felt as if he were standing in a black room, empty and hollow. He looked around, he knew where he was right off the bat. Honestly, the kid's head was a lot emptier than he anticipated. Though with as empty as it was it was pretty...spacious. The kid wasn't dumb apparently...just not really...focused...or bright.

"I'm calming down...calming down...I'm not hurt..." Silus said. He heard his voice echoing in the distance. Suddenly he heard whispers as if something had whispered back to him. The whispers were light, and brushed over his ear like a whisp of the wind. It said... "werewolves...werewolves...werewolves." Silus rolled his eyes and sighed to himself. "Figures." He chuckled. He suddenly saw a flash of light. He was there, a werewolf was attacking him, he couldn't run or do anything...but he was suddenly stronger, he couldn't run as easily, but he could punch. He punched the werewolf straight in the damn snout and laughed. That was...oddly satisfying. Suddenly he blinked and he was suddenly underneath Brandon. He looked to the blonde kid, his glowing eyes fading back to their natural color. He felt oddly...chipper and happy. He laughed at Brandon and wrapped an arm around him.

"Well...uh...Hi?" Silus said slightly happy, his face heated up with embarrassment as he struggled to try and get out from beneath Brandon, using his sudden "burst" of super-strength to bench-press Brandon up off of him, and gently set him off to the side. He stood up and brushed himself off smiling at Brandon with a questioning brow before he waved at Briana. "So uh...hi?" he asked, easily just as lost as Brandon normally was...not because of the absorption...but because of the awkward position he was in just seconds prior.

Briana nodded her understanding as Brandon told her about how surprised he was at the kind of people he's been meeting. There certainly were lots of different kinds of people running around, mutant and human alike. Just as she was going to speak to the blonde boy, he took off at a small sprint. Shiney object? Looking after where he ran, Briana all but laughed when she saw him tackle an all too familiar face. Silus was there, too! Walking after the blonde boy she arrived where they were just in time to see Silus' eyes change showing his power was working. Holding her breath until he calmed down, she was happy to see the Brandon was really unfazed by what happened. He must not have taken much....

Briana gave her own wave in greeting to Silus. "Hey. Fancy running, well, crashing into you here," she teased, tipping her head to blondie.

In truth Brandon did not mean to collide with Silus as hard as he did, considering that he didn’t want to hurt his friend but that was the downside of being both strong and dim. Both slid along the ground for a few inches, Brandon unwittingly pressing his weight upon the male, and ecstatic expression playing across his face. Two of his friends finding him around the same time was great, and it meant he would not be alone within his window shopping spree. It was the contact that caused something to happen, a brilliant flash of memories flashing through his mind, and Brandon felt a cold sweat break out over him.

In this vision he was running, legs moving as fast as they could take him, yet that was not enough. He moved faster and faster, breath coming in haggard as burning hot tears flowed down his face. Next thing he knew there was a burning pain running through his body, and blood flowing, staining his shirt a deep red that bordered upon brown. There was fire and the smell of burning fur, a horrible smell that caused his stomach to turn upon itself and then darkness.

Brandon could feel it now, a phantom pain running along from the small of his back, around to the front of his body. The grin dipping heavily, before he took notice of Silus resting an arm around him and perhaps causing his heart rate to only increase. He didn’t even notice that he was being pushed off of the fellow mutant, fingers running through his hair for a second. ’H…hi.” He said with a smile that was perhaps off…as if something were wrong indeed.

"Shit man...sorry. Here!" Silus said, reaching into his backpack he pulled out a small bar of that Ghirardelli chocolate. The darker the chocolate the better in this case, he pulled the 92% Dark Chocolate from it's sleeve, revealing the glittering gold foil that had only one square left. He cursed as he ripped it from the sleeve and handed it to Brandon. "Here, Dark chocolate brings your brain back into focus...well...as much as it can." Silus said as he cleared his throat and began to rub his head. He normally was the only one who suffered the drawbacks...the depression is almost...debilitating. That didn't bode well for him...since he gave his last piece to Brandon.

"Saw it in a Harry Potter movie...the Azkaban one. I though "huh...soul-suckers and chocolate taking away the ill effects?" and when I tried it...it actually sort of worked. You get the same effect if you drink Coffee or Eggnog too...but I can't just carry those in my bag sooooo--yeah." He said, he found himself rambling and so he stopped and sighed, rubbing his eyes. "Yeah sure. I saw you guys and thought you might be-uh... otherwise engaged?" Silus askd, unsure if he was posing the question correctly. He then took a seat on the nearest surface that could afford his added weight.

Brandon shook his head for a second, eyes focusing upon Silus voice as the pain once again shot through his side, along the fault line of the scar hidden under shirt. His expression twisted for a moment before falling upon the chocolate, mouth slightly salivating. With trepidation he took the sweet and took a small chunk out of it, letting the bitter sweet melt into his mouth before swallowing. Nearly instantly his mind pushed back into focus, the negative side effects seeming to melt away but not all at once, instead abating slowly as he tried to form the usual grin with varied success. ”So that was kind alike…soul sucking or whatever?” Brandon asked curiously as he took the whole bit of chocolate into his mouth and chewed it before swallowing. Giving a smile to Briana, he then turned his attention to Silus once again, standing to his feet as he was already beginning to feel better. ”Otherwise engaged?” He asked raising an eyebrow as if Silus had spoken in Egyptian, or another equally foreign language, hands sinking into his pockets.

Briana watched the interaction between the boys and was a little surprised to find that the chocolate trick from the Harry Potter movie did, in fact, hold some stock in making you feel better. Good to know... At Silus' comment about not knowing if Brandon and she were 'otherwise engaged' Briana looked at him as if to say 'what?' before glancing at Brandon and back again. With her duel-colored eyes smiling she shook her head and answered, "No, no.... I was just doing some shopping of my own and happened to see Brandon. That's all." Might as well clear that up while she could. Blondie was nice, don't get her wrong, but she was simply enjoying having friends at the moment. Relationships scared her thanks to her Precognition, and she wasn't quite ready to face that fear, yet. "What brings you here, Silus?" she asked.

descriptionCompleteRe: Window Shopping [PG-13]

Of course...the lovable dolt wouldn't know what something like that means. It made Silus smile a little, but otherwise it just flat out amused him. Briana was pretty quick to disarm that idea, and in fact she almost Dis-Armed Silus LITERSALLY with the look she shot him initially. Silus smirked at her and gave her the "uh-huh. Suuuure." look before looking back to Brandon.

"Thought you two were on a date. I didn't think you guys would be half bad as a couple...but I think Briana disagrees" He said as he looked to her and sniggering. He might be able to get away with tormenting her just a little with this. In fact, he probably would... scratch that. It's funny, hopefully Bri is willing to put up with it.

"Sadly I don't get to go out on dates like you two..." He said teasingly and a little mischievous smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. "I was here to buy. Something. Shops closed though...so I walked all this way for nothin'." Silus said, looking between Bri and Brandon with equal parts interest and boredom. He was more interested as to why they were here... sure he didn't tell them up front "I wanted to buy this awesome sniper rifle for my room"...because that's creepy and kinda ominous. But what could they have possibly been there for?

"So what make you guys adventure out this way?" Silus asked as he noticed his side-effect depression kicking in, he mentally groaned. This was going to be a pain alter on. He just had to wait to start responding to the name Brandon and he'd officially gone through all the stages of his "post-power" side effects.

Silus clearing up his question only made Brandon widen his eyes in confusion, partially wondering why he thought a smart girl like Briana would hang around with an idiot like him. There were many people that she could go after, even some idiots would be considered smarter than him. His glance moved from Silus to Briana, and then back to Silus once again, a little curious why he would think that. ’Oh.” He said finally letting the realization sink in. The male then mentioned something about not getting to go on dates, something that confused Brandon. He was a nice enough guy, and usually people would swarm to the tough guy. ”Really, thought a cute guy like you would go on a ton of dates.” Brandon said without really even thinking, feeling his phone vibrate in his pocket before a moment, but ignoring it.

”Dunno what I was doing here today really. Was gonna buy some a shirt or something I think, then I came across Briana and then you.” He said explaining his reason for being within The Mall, looking to both of his friend with a grin that strangely grew wider before containing itself. He was just happy to see them, people that didn’t instantly put him down or use his subpar intelligence for whatever. After pausing for a second Brandon continued. ”So do ya guys wanna join me? Shoppings always funner with friends, or so I’m told.”

Briana grinned and shook her head slightly. With a small smirk of her own she said, "Just friends, just friends. Relationships....." Briana paused before telling her thoughts on relationships, a small change coming over her, before she replaced the grin on her face with one not as bright. "Just friends," she repeated. Sure she knew that Silus was just giving her a hard time, but she didn't feel ready to talk about her view of relationships with Brandon or anyone else, really. Hearing Silus' comment about not getting to go on dates often kind of surprised Briana. Then again, he was the 'bad boy' at The Institute.... But, the 'bad boy' front intrigued her, even more so when she knew that he did have a kinder, gentler side.

Briana held up the bag from the clothing shop she had just come from as Silus' question about what she was doing at the mall if it wasn't to be on a date with Brandon. "Like I said, shopping," she giggled with a wink. Looking at Brandon and then at Silus after blondie's question of if they wanted to join him, Briana shrugged. "Why not. You never know what you might find simply strolling about," she answered happily. "What do ya say, Silus?" she asked brightly.

Silus' face went red...again. This idiot somehow always accidentally said just the right things. At what point does an idiot notice that you're making someone else uncomfortable? Looks like it was an experiment, because the guy didn't seem to catch on yet. He looked to Bri for a second, almost with a puzzled look. More or less looking for confirmation that Brandon's comment wasn't the "norm" for people. But then again, for all he knew it was. Silus didn't exactly have the best knowledge of how people their age interacted with others.
 
 "Uh...yeah. Sure I guess I could always stick around...I guess." Silus said, he began looking around for some form of candy Kiosk or something, anything around here that would have DARK bitter chocolate. It's times like this he was glad he didn't have a gun...when his powers backlashed and he didn't have chocolate...it wouldn't be pretty. He scratched under his neck as he continued to look around. There it was, a coffee shop. In the world there are three things that Silus DOES know about everybody. Everybody Loves Raymond, everybody loves Ramen, and Ghirardelli chocolate goes best with coffee! That was apparently his last hope right there.

   "Just a sec...I gotta go get something form there..." He exclaimed as he started walking over that way, looking to the ground with his hands buried into his jacket pockets. He walked away, muttering something to the effect of "before I end up killing myself" or something morbid and unlike him. He groaned, why did he have to have backlash in front of his 'friends?'  Yeah....friends.

   He began to go on an angry mental tangent about his stupid back-lash and stupid Brandon needed to take his last stupid piece because stupid Silus was too dumb to greedily take it for himself. It all worked out in the laundry. Unfortunately the shop only had 72% dark, but Silus could make due with that. Breaking off two squares as he returned to Bri and Brandon, he plopped the chocolate in his mouth and tried to keep himself calm until the enigmatic effects kicked in.
 
   "Stupid power and it's drawbacks... Never know when I'm gonna get a draw back or not...almost completely random... ANYWAY... where to?" He asked the other two. As far as he was concerned, he wasn't buying anything...but this beat going back to the institute and having to re-read the stupid book Professor V gave them. It was dumb the first time, it's going to be dumb the second time.

Brandon smiled wider, taking note of the red coloration that spread across Silus face, thinking it cute, and not for a second realizing that he was embarrassing his friend. Briana said something about relationships, perhaps her opinions towards them but Brandon did not find himself feeling the itch to nose into what those opinions were, as it would likely annoy the woman even more. Both Silus and Briana agreed to join him in his shopping venture, male having to hold himself back from leaping in joy. Last time he jumped, he ended up having his head slam through the ceiling and the manager was not so happy with him causing property damage at that level. His mother had some trouble with that incident, but nothing that money could not fix, though he was told not to jump like that in an enclosed space ever again. "Awesome! This is going to be fun."

Silus said he had to go somewhere, and something within Brandon did not feel right. Was he okay? Within this moment the male found himself slightly worrying over something unimportant, but nothing that would really cause trouble. Brown eyes followed the males movements towards what looked like some kind of kiosk or something, perhaps purchasing a something to help him with his own problems; power related probably. He remembered that he took the guys last bite of chocolate and that made the male feel somewhat bad, especially if it was him that somehow ended up causing his friend discomfort. He looked to Briana, eyes then shooting back down to the ground as his fingers thrummed nervously against his forearms. Something was causing his heart to race slightly, and a painful tingling sensation ran across his abdomen, centering on his naval.

A man in a coat that seemed to hug around his neck walked past, burn scars peaking from under the collar. Something about him made Brandon cough, breath freezing within his throat as if he had seen a ghost. It was then that the breath stopped, and then….he began to wheeze. Brandon wanted to breathe, and his body seemed to be trying to pull breath ceaselessly, chest heaving back and forth as the stranger simply turned to him, flashed canines and walked away, not seen by anyone else; as if only the blonde were seeing it. This strange attack went on for a few minutes, breathing slowly catching up as, though remaining quick. He felt dizzy, barely standing upon his feet as his lunch threatened to spew from his mouth, and a painful cramp ran through his abdomen.

Seeing Silus look to her in what seemed like confusion at blondie's comment about him not having dates, she gave a small shrug. Was Brandon hitting on Silus or just not using a mental filter when it came to saying the first thing that popped into his mind? When he said that he could 'stick around' with them, Briana smiled. Perhaps the three of them could hang out in an environment that wasn't the ER. As he walked by, she thought she caught him say something rather dark and ominous, but she let him go as he suddenly appeared to be on a mission. Watching him go, she found that going to one of the coffee shops was that mission.

Looking back to Brandon, while she waited for Silus to return, she noticed a change come over him seemingly out of no where. Concern filled her duel-colored eyes as she put a hand on his arm. "Hey, you ok?" she asked, watching as what appeared to be a panic attack or an asthma attack took over his body. "Brandon, what is it?" Briana asked, tightening her grip on his arm when he appeared that he might either faint or hurl.

Silus thought for sure Brandon was about to fall head firs into the mall. That wasn't good...he didn't have the money to pay for damages to the floor. He took ahold of Brandon's arm and tried to prepare himself to catch the guy if he went to fall or something. He was breathing funny... hyperventilating was generally caused by immense fear, or an allergic reaction. Oh God, are you telling me he was allergic to dark chocolate and ate it anyway!? Wait- no...wouldn't be surprised. He thought to himself, able to see Brandon actually forgetting what he's allergic to.

"H-hey, talk to me dude. What's up, are you allergic to chocolate or something?" Silus asked he looked like he was about to throw up...which reminded Silus of the ER at the medical center. At this rate he's probably considered bulimic. Silus looked around for the nearest trash can, almost expecting Bri to have pulled one telepathically. If they were going to keep doing this every time hey met...Silus was going to start bringing paper bags with his chocolate.

His stomach burned, as if someone had filled it with gasoline and lit the contents. This pain however seemed to stretch from the small of his back, and wrapped around his body in a way that nearly made him double over on the ground. He was even barely aware of his friends worrying over him, eyes seeming to follow the stranger against his will, well, until he was out of sight. With each step he took in the opposite direction, Brandon felt the pain slowly subside until he could concentrate on more than it alone. What he heard was Silus asking what was wrong with him, something about if he was allergic to chocolate. ”N….no I don’t think I’m allergic to chocolate.” Brandon said his breathing beginning to grow slow once again, hand gripping his stomach which still radiated with agony.

He tried to smile, be brave if only to keep his friends form worrying but it did not work very well. ’I think I’m allergic to penic....that drug thing that starts with P but not chocolate.” Brandon grunted lightly, fingers tightening around his stomach and then unclenching as he felt the pain instantly vanish, yet the whispers were still there. Keeping his arm slung over Silus shoulder, Brandon felt himself beginning to feel better. ”So…..how about that shopping?”

Keeping a firm hand on Brandon, Briana set her bag down and took hold of him with her other hand, helping Silus to support their friend. Seeing his face and the green color it was beginning to take on, Briana began to search for the nearest trash, just in case... Relief washed over her when he seemed to calm down and return to his normal self. "Penicillin?" Briana corrected him with a small smile. "Brandon, what happened? Are you alright?" she asked, looking at Silus and then back at him.

She couldn't help but shake head slightly and chuckle when his thoughts suddenly shifted back to the matter at hand: shopping. Letting her grip loosen on his arm, Briana said, "How about it? Shall we? Where is the first stop?" She asked both boys as her shopping adventure was techincally over, thankfully. Didn't want to force them into clothing shops if that wasn't high on their lists of places to go. Glancing at Silus, she gave him a look asking him what she asked Brandon only moments earlier, Are you alright?

descriptionCompleteRe: Window Shopping [PG-13]

Silus was worried about the oaf by him who seemed to just finally calm down. He explained he was allergic to Penicillin...though the way he began to say it Silus initially thought it was a strange way of him saying to something else...which, as a male, would be unfortunate. He found that Brandon quickly returned to his normal self, finally breathing out and asking about the shopping thing. At this point Silus was a little scared...mostly because of the random hyperventilation. Briana seemed to shoot Silus a weird look, though he wasn't exactly sure what it meant. He rubbed Brandon's back a little before patting it and returning it to his pocket. He cleared his throat as he picked up is little under-armor string pack in the other hand. He slung the ten pound pack ovr his shoulder and turned back to the other two.

"So yeah...Brandon's in charge." Silus said. His heart stopped...he didn't realize what he had said until it was too late. Brandon was the one in charge...that's not something he'd do to anyone...or maybe he was just a little TOO fearful of the potential misadventures that would ensue with the group as Brandon as the leader. Though it was probably better than what would happen if Silus were the leader of this merry band of misfits. He sighed and looked around for stores to potentially visit, all the while waiting for where or what Brandon desired to go or do.

”I dunno, this never happened before.” Brandon said simply fingers trailing over his stomach, feeling the scarring through his shirt, the scar that he could not ever remember getting. ’I’m fine though.” He added smiling reassuringly to Briana, hoping that he stop the worrying over him. One thing the male did not want to be was something that they has to constantly worry about, seeing as he had a feeling he already did that as it was. ’Anyway, I was thinking we go to that Hot Topic, they had a cool Pokemon shirt that I reeeaaaly want..and stuff.” He leapt from the pained little child to an overexcited dog. There were many places to go within the Manhattan mall and with his friends, all was possible. Silus saying that he was in charge seemed to only push the pain that was once in his mind farther away, until he was perhaps back to one hundred percent dopey. ”Lets go!” Grabbing both by the hand he drug them onward, perhaps with protests following.

Brandon's comment that this had never happened before only added to the concern Briana had over him. But he quickly seemed to bounce back. Quicker than she had expected, honestly. Brandon is in charge... Glancing at Silus after his declaration, she smiled and gave her head a little. Well, this should be interesting... When Brandon grabbed her hand and pulled her along, along with Silus, she couldn't help but laugh brightly. "To Hot Topic it is, then," she said happily, slinging her bag over her shoulder as the three of them walked. It had been a while since she was last in there, and really, she was rather excited to see what new treasures she might find.

descriptionCompleteRe: Window Shopping [PG-13]

Hot Topic? Silus had never been to one. He actually was interested in what this place was...though he had only negative associations with the store. He nodded and suddenly felt his hand ripped from his jacket pocket. Brandon had stole his hand and ran with him and Briana. Seriously, what the heck man? When is it okay to just steal someone hand from their pocket. Not that Silus was complaining, but he was certainly curious as to why the male had to drag Briana and Silus with him. Did he thing they were going to get lost?

"Well Hot Topic then." Silus echoed Briana, still seemingly void of emotion, and not completely "recovered" from his earlier ordeal. Brandon stopped them at the store and Silus looked to Brandon, clearing his throat a little as he lamely tried to wiggle his hand free a bit. Unfortunately the bruteish man didn't seem to notice that he was beginning to hold QUITE A GRIP on his hand...and it didn't feel too good. Though maybe he should give a more obvious sign...the brick-boy didn't seem to always pick up on subtle signs.

So to Hot Topic they went, his hands around theirs like a vice almost, except not enough to crush the bones at least. The store had the same brick façade surrounding the entrance, music blaring out from it, Brandon’s head slightly bobbing about as it reached his ears. His hands unfurled from around both friends before the excitable male walked into the store, eyes darting about as he searched for something that he was looking for. Shirts of many varieties were hung about, the one shirt that he was looking for being displayed among many others. A young female stood behind the counter, asking if he needed any help. Brandon looked at her and shook his head lightly as he went about on his shopping spree, though it seemed that he would end up buying more than expected. ”Found it.” Brandon muttered as he pulled a black shirt with Pikachu taking prominence, holding it up proudly as if he had found The Holy Grail. It was then that he found his attention drawn to the various candies sold there. Well, you know what he did next.

As Brandon took off into the shop, releasing her hand, Briana gave her hand a quick rub and cracked her knuckles. Winking at Silus, she entered the shop herself. Looking around, her eyes fell on the cabinet that held the body piercing jewelry. She hadn't picked up any new earrings in a while and right away, was taken by several different ones for her double helix piercings. Glancing on top of the cabinet, she smiled at seeing a buy one/get one sign. While the female salesperson was buy with Brandon, a male salesperson, sporting several piercings of his own, walked over to Briana.

"Can I help you with anything?" he asked in a deep voice. When Briana looked at him, she noticed his eyes bounce between her two eyes before she took a deep breath and answered, "Yes, I'd like the hoop with the butterfly accent, the one with the wing accent, and two of the multi-colored titanium hoops, please." The salesman glanced at the pieces she had selected and opened the cabinet removing the pieces she picked, smirking to himself. "Is that everything, miss?" he asked. Briana gave a nod and moved with him to the cash register. Ringing her up, the salesman again looked at her dual-colored eyes and smirked yet again. "Forgive me, but find something humorous?" Briana asked the man, handing over her payment. "As a matter of fact, yes. Multi-colored titanium to go with your multi-colored freaky self?" he mocked her as he took her payment and handed back her change as well as tucking the receipt in her bag, which Briana took quickly. Shoving her change into her pocket, Briana stormed from the shop, angry tears in her eyes....
