Ethan Demian Augustus: There is a soft huff sound when she collides with him, and one of his hands raises to her side. "Just a bit, yeah."

Cori: *chuckles* sorry for almost landing on you. *pats his hand gently* so, what're you here looking for?

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Just looking for things last minute, you know. What everyone here is doing."

Cori: *grins widely* even me. although, all i wanted to do is find Dami a gag gift. and mebbe a toy mouse fer m'pal Jim.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Toy mouse?"

Cori: *nods* yeah. Jim likes mice. so, i wanted to maybe get him a lil toy stuffed mouse for Yule or something like that.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "You've got almost a year before the next one." He smiles gently.

Cori: *nods, chuckling* yeah, i know. but i dun think he actually celebrates Yule, so it'd work as a Christmas thing, too. if i can find one. if not, i'll just give him a hug.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Well, there must be a toy store somewhere in this place."

Cori: *laughs* trouble is, wading through all these peole to find it, ya know? wanna join my in my quest?

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Sure."

Cori: *beams at him* cool deal. i think it's that way. *offers him a long, pale hand so they might be able to stick together* i'm hoping i can find a non-Mickey stuffed toy, ya know?

Ethan Demian Augustus: He nods with a laugh. "Yeah. Well, if all else fail there's always cat toys."

Cori: *blinks and laughs* ya know, i didn't even think of that! *begins to try and wade towards the toy store*

Ethan Demian Augustus: He takes her hand, and starts down the walkway. (Sorry, I missed the hand bit for a second there.)

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Of course, it might come stuffed with catnip."

Cori: *grins at him and chuckles, long fingers wrapped snugly but not tightly around his hand* well, i'm not that good at sewing, but i think i can manage to gut a cat toy and stuff it with polyfiber or something. it'll look kinda weird after, but...*shrugs* ((*G* NP.))

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Nothing wrong with catnip. Makes great tea."

Cori: *nods* for humans, it's a calming herb. heh. i got Dami's cats one of those window box things that come with seeds for various kinds of plants cats like to eat.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Mmmmmm...good."

Cori: *nods cheerfully* yeah. i have a medicinal tea blend i make that includes catnip. i keep it away from the cats.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "A good plan."

Cori: so, what're you looking for? and here we are.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "If I knew, I'd be out of here by now."

Cori: well,is it for you or someone else?

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Someone else." He smiles. "One boyfriend, two older sisters. Extent of my shopping list."

Cori: hmmm..*ponders* ok, your boyfriend or someone else's? *the thought that he might have a b/f doesn't seem to bother her in the slightest* and how much older are they? honestly, unless you're close enough to the sisters to have a real good idea of what exactly they'd like, i'd suggest you try to get a couple of gift certs to stores you know're near wherever they are. or, get 'em a cashier's check if you dunno any stores that here and there hnave in common.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Mine. And one of my sisters I know well, the other...not as much." He smiles. "They're about four years older than I am."

Cori: well, get your guy something based on how long you've been together's what i'd suggest. *grins* get some the one sis'd like, and i'd suggest the gift card for the other.

Michelle Morgan: She's wandering her way through the toy store, in her new look, all sexy-goth. She's travelling along the aisles, looking at empty shelves with a sort of casual interest. She hums a little as she moves along, slightly distracted.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Oh, I'll know what I'm looking for when I see it. I just don't know now."

Cori: *suddenly eyes a shelf* what in the bloody blue blazes is that thing supposed to be? *points at a....fuzzy thingamabob on the shelf, laughing. and then perks up, waving the pointing hand wildly* yo! sexy lady! what's UP??

Ethan Demian Augustus: He picks up a stuffed tiger and meows at Cori with it before starting to look for a mouse on the shelves of stuffed animals.

Ethan Demian Augustus: He looks over and smiles when he sees Michelle, waving with the hand holding the tiger.

Cori: *nods agreeably to Ethan* fair deal. *laughs* ahlf my stuff's made that way. i just start doing something and see what happens.

Cori: *giggles at the tiger* aw, now that's just CUTE! tigers are sexy. *nods cheerily*

Michelle Morgan: She looks up at Cori, blinking as she sees the woman and the guy from the coffee shop the other night. A hand runs the black and red hair, smiling widely. "Hey, you!" She heads on over, the tank-top she's wearing decpiting a cartoon cat holding a revolver to it's head with a happy wink, reading "I'll See You in Hell!" underneath it. Low-riding jeans and heavy boots complete the look. "Hey, both of you, rather. What's up?"

Cori: *bends slightly to offer Michelle a warm hug* we're bravely braving the fearsomely fearful toy store. on the day before Christmas. as are you, i see. so either we're all extremely courageous, or we allneed somemajor counseling. *laughs*

Michelle Morgan: "A little of both, I think." She hugs Cori back, throwing a smile Ethan's way. "Hey, Ethan. Good to see you again."

Ethan Demian Augustus: "The sexy tiger and I vote counseling." He laughs, then meows at Michelle with the tiger too.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Yeah, sooner than expected, which is a pleasure."

Cori: *giggles* hey, if we do go to counseling, we might get some good drugs. *pretends to ponder and makes a comically sad face* aw, darn! i forgot--i dun do drugs. *grins widely*

Michelle Morgan: "A pleasure, indeed." She chuckles a little bit at Cori's response. "I don't need the good psychiatric drugs...I have enough of my own. Of course, it's expected that I do drugs, being the liberal hippy rock chick and all." A wink sent both of the others' way.

Cori: *giggles impishly at the woman* yeah, and never sleep due to an overabundance of partying, shit like that. oops,i should'nt say shit i a toy store.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Yeah, just the other day I got the memo about the changes in hippy fashion...."

Cori: dude--forget teh memo. i'm just gonna enjoy the new look. *laughs and gives Michelle a playfully lascivious leer, big brown eyes twinkling*

Michelle Morgan: She grins to both of them. "Well...hippy rock chick with attitude, rather. Besides, new album, new style...new look. I can't stay stagnant in the old Michelle style...makes me all passive and complacent. And it was worth the look on Sam's face when I first got home after the makeover." A mischevious grin.

Cori: *chortles* i can imagine. very mean, Michelle! *winks to her cheerfully*

Ethan Demian Augustus: He leans back on the shelf carefully, watching the two of them talk.

Michelle Morgan: "Yeah, that was what she said. Or, more specifically, I believe the phrase was, 'No fair.'"

Cori: *giggles* well, she's right. but i still like the new look. hey, you didn't happen to see any toy mice over there, did ya? if not, s'cool.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "I think you may be condemned to cat toys...."

Michelle Morgan: "No, sorry..." She shakes her head. "No toy mice, I'm afraid."

Cori: oh, well. *laughs* guess it's your idea that's gonna be happening, Ethan! *grins widely*

Ethan Demian Augustus: "It's okay. I've always wanted a kitten." He laughs softly. "And I think the pet store may be less crowded."

Cori: *tilts her head, chuckling softly* mmm, ya know, you might want to think about adopting from the pound. there's a couple of shelters around here what aren't no-kills. the little guys there really, really need a good home, ya know? but, whether you go that route or the pet store route--you'll need some stuff FOR the kitten.

Ethan Demian Augustus: "Yeah, I figure as much." He smiles.

Michelle Morgan: "Quite possibly," she says with a nod. "Pets are less-common of Christmas gifts then, say, anything you might find in a toy store."

Cori: *grins widely* you can prolly figure out what you need on yer own, but i'll happily offer advice. i helped Dami lug home all his kittens' stuff. Michelle, ya wanna come with, maybe pick up some stuff? *blinks* i think i recall Sam once saying something about having cats before....*ponders,t ehn brightens* yes! she does, i met the runty one. SO cute. gotta be illegal, that mite's so adorable.

Michelle Morgan: She smiles a little. "Hope's a darling, yeah. I love 'em both to death..." She sighs. "Much as I'd like to, I have to take off, though. Got a few more things to do before tonight." An impish sort of smile breaks out.

Ethan Demian Augustus: He smiles and keeps listening, perfectly content to watch.

Cori: *giggles at the impish grin* oh-oh. sounds like naughtiness is what you're up to. *another hug for the woman* tell Sam i say hi. in fact,give her a nice, big, wet kiss from me. cuz if i give her one direct, she's gonna shoot me. *laughs*

Michelle Morgan: She hugs Cori back. "Will do. Do the same back for Joey and Dami. Have a good one...I'll see you later, okay?" She looks over to Ethan and smiles. "Good seeing you again, Ethan. Happy Holiday, both of you."

Cori: *nods cheerfully* and i'll even slip 'em tongue for ya. *laughs* winter's blessing on ya, lady. peace out.

Ethan Demian Augustus: He nods. "You too. Take care."

Michelle Morgan: A warm smile to them both, before she slips out of the store, headed along to her car. ((*Hugs to both* Thanks for the scene. Happy Holiday...see you both later!))
