A Day Out Shopping (Open)

[Elita]

Elita walked along the mall corridor, swinging the bag with every step she took along the way. Her mother, who she believed was her mother, had given her 100 pounds for her to go shopping with. She had thought she needed some new clothes, and she was currently on her way to the shoe store to get her a pair of new shoes as well. Her free hand had flew up to touch the fob watch that hung around her neck out of habit. She had never really took a close look at it, just like one would little details in a painting. She knew it was there, but didn’t really give it much thought. As far as she knew, it was a broken timepiece.

However her mother had always insisted that it wasn’t broken. Just that she wasn’t ready to open it yet. She had asked her when she would be ready, and the reply was ’I do not know…’. She had finally just stopped asking and settled for the now. There was a ruckus ahead of her, and she stopped her fast pace to take a closer look. It had seemed that there were two parties fighting over an item of some sort. With herself being fragile, she stayed away from the swinging fists and blows, and decided that she would wait for them to stop so that she may make her way safely to her next store.

[The Engineer]

Arj Smith or what he presumed himself to be was walking from his engineering job at the Charter industry across the mall. It was a long day and he simply wanted to head home and relax. But he spent most of his walk home doing what he always did, looking at his fog watch. Arj fixed his tie a bit as he pulled out his fog watch, wondering why in the world he couldn't get rid of it, nor open it. It was just something that told him not to, and he really couldn't understand why. He usually put the problem aside, though today the urge to try and open it got stronger.

He continued to walk along the malls walls looking at his fog watch, but before long he placed it back in his pocket. Arj didn't want to open it, not knowing if it was fear or unpreparedness that came with it. But his thoughts came to an end to the commotion happening a little ways into the mall. He than started to run towards the noise, the sound of kicks and punches could be heard echoing through the halls. Eventually he made it to the source of the commotion, he stared a bit at them. "Hey, hey, calm down can't you guys try and take this oh I don't know..back at your places so no one can deal with it?"

[Elita]

Elita stood off to the sidelines as she watched the fight over what she realized was some type of popular toy. It seemed each male had a child that wanted to toy badly. She sighed and spied a pile of the same toy just inside the shop behind them. She quickly approached them, her intent to tell them to take that one toy and the other to go get another one from that pile. However before she could someone else approached as well, and the two of them reached the dueling pair at the same time. The male newcomer spoke first, and she only raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, hey, calm down can't you guys try and take this oh I don't know..back at your places so no one can deal with it?"

She suppose that could work as well, but she doesn’t like violence period. ”Or how about one of you take the toy you are fighting over, and the other grab another from that pile behind you in that store?” She offered instead and pointed to the said pile. She never like the idea of violence, and thought it senseless. Why or where that came from, she doesn’t know…
