[Video] un: Capsulecorp, backdated to shortly after everyone has escaped the mall

[There's a blue haired teenage girl looking distinctly unimpressed and grumpy when she flips on the network feed.]

I hope everyone made it out of the mall in one piece. That was creepy and a disgrace to shopping malls everywhere.

[She has some vague theories, but no way to reasonably test anything. Congratulations to the powers that be. Bulla's been put off of shopping, at least temporarily.]

Shopping malls are supposed to be a place where you buy necessities, and for retail therapy. They're not supposed to make you need therapy.

[She scoffs at that and flips her hair over her shoulder irritably.]

Rude. Anyway, if anyone's looking for a sparring partner, I'm up for that. Either with powers or without is fine with me. Or if someone here knows how to sew and is willing to teach, I'd love some lessons.

You feel passionately about malls, I'm guessin'?

[ not that Reno particularly enjoyed his experience in this mall, but it sounds like this girl's got opinions on malls that go above and beyond this place. ]

[fashionably_strong]

You could say that. Shopping is one of my favourite things to do, and I've got a lot of good memories associated with it. Going with friends, or a mom-daughter day where we spoil ourselves, or when my dad would make time to take me even though he'd rather be training.

And then this happens and I got to see the absolute worst person I've ever met.

[astraphilia]

[ aha. understandable, if not relateable. malls weren't exactly popular in Midgar and even if they had been, Reno wouldn't have had reason to go. ]

I ain't been around all that long, but I'm startin' to feel like that's a pattern here.

[ situations that fuck up your memories of things that are otherwise fairly inoffensive, he means. between what he's heard about the bank, and what they went through in the mall... ]

On the bright side, if you're ballsy enough to go back to the mall you ain't gotta pay for anything in there?

[fashionably_strong]

I guess, but I never really had to pay for things in the first place. That's what parents are for.

[She might be a little spoiled, even if she's sociable and accepting.#RichKidLife]

[astraphilia]

[ that makes Reno laugh out loud. is that what parents are for? he wouldn't know. ]

Oh, she's got money money. [ he's teasing, but he's good-natured about it, no real bite in his tone. ] No wonder you're an expert in shopping.

Not to mention eating! My dad, my big brother and I all have huge appetites. Mom's is more normal.

[astraphilia]

How's the food scene around here, then? Better than the mall?

Some of the ice cream has weird effects on people's emotions, but everything else is fine.
