... [ Tilts it so she can see the map better. ]

[meilihua]

[She's going to stare at it for a while, glancing around them a little nervously] ...right. We go to the right.

[shortestfuse]

Okay, you're better at this than I am. [ He leads them off to the right. ]

[meilihua]

[Suddenly she's really glad - if still embarrassed - that she's still holding on to him...sort of...]

It's kind of dark...

[shortestfuse]

Yeah it got dark pretty quick. Maybe there are some lights 'round here. Or flashlights.

[ Holding his arm in the gentlemanly way for her, they descend a flight of stairs and approach the store. ]

They gotta have some supplies in here.

[meilihua]

[As sucky as this whole experience, she's at least getting some enjoyment out of it...] Maybe there's a camping store or something. Can I see the map again?

[shortestfuse]

Ah, good idea. [ He holds out the map for them again and he looks over it. ] This-... no, that's not one... uh...

[meilihua]

[Giggling a little behind her hands] L-let's try getting food first.

[shortestfuse]

Yeah, heh... okay. That's in here for sure. [ He points to the grocery store they're approaching. ]

[meilihua]

[It's dark, but at least they can see...] Let's try to find things that might not have gone bad yet... Dry foods or maybe cans...

[shortestfuse]

Ah, yeah. Preserved ones. [ He picks up various items, staring at the labels. English is still somewhat difficult to read. ]

Pasta. [ Nodding he tucks it under his arm and picks up a can. ] Beef... somethin'. Any luck?

[meilihua]

I found some flour and salt and rice...

[shortestfuse]

Oh those are good. [ He nods approvingly, shoving stuff into an abandoned plastic bag. ]

Ah, sweets. [ He points to the candy isle proudly. ] Maybe a couple...

[meilihua]

Haha yeah, got to keep everyone's spirits up, right?

[shortestfuse]

[ A chuckle. ] With candy? Yeah. Think that'd be the kinda food to do it.

[meilihua]

Maybe we can find a bag or a shopping cart or something to put all this stuff in...

[shortestfuse]

A found a bag? I can carry all this stuff pretty easy...

But if it gets to be too much, there should be a cart someplace...

[ He looks around, plucking supplies as he goes. ]

Ah, over there at the end of that aisle?

[meilihua]

Okay, I'll go get it! [Wandering off on her own in her excitement.]

[shortestfuse]

[ He smiles a bit at her enthusiasm and watches her go. ] Um... be careful. [ He calls after her. ]

[meilihua]

[She waves a hand in response, heading off. It would be really bad if something attacked her right about now...]

[shortestfuse]

[ SOMETHING TOTALLY ATTACKS HER AAAH IT'S THE SPIDER'S FRIEND, DWEMER/CENTURION SPHERE.

Meanwhile Shizuo is standing in the candy aisle, totally eating some gummies. Go team. ]

[meilihua]

Ahhhhh-! [Taiwan grabs the first thing she can see, and slams it at the sphere instinctively, sending it skidding a few feet away from her.]

[shortestfuse]

[ Lifting his head at the cry, mid-chew, Shizuo drops the bag of candy and peers around. ]

Taiwan? [ He starts at a slow pace before running to the end of the aisle. ]

Taiwan! You okay? Where are you?

[meilihua]

[She stares at the sphere as it unfolds up to attack her, ducking behind some shelving, casting her eyes around for a weapon. Really should've brought the sword Japan made her...]

I'm fine, there's just something else here-!

[shortestfuse]

Get away from it, I'll be right there! [ He calls out, trying to find her between the shelves. ] Hide or somethin'!
