If that's the case, then...make sure that that you is a you that you like, and can be proud of being!

[Here's that mall. In the doors they go.]

Now! What kinds of clothes were you looking for?

[waitingforplayer2]

You first!

[ She peeks down over his hair to grin at him. ] You're the one who needs a whole new outfit, Atem-kun!! What would you like to wear on your new body?

[knifemonopoly]

I...

[He has to think about that.]

...I don't know. I just know that this...

[He gestures to the chunky sweater with holes in the shoulders for spikes that aren't there, and rolled up khakis which aren't hanging right on his waist at all.]

...isn't right!

[His plan is to walk around until he sees something he likes. So, he starts to stride down a tiled aisle, glancing left and right, his hoofs making a click click click on the floor. Purses...swimwear...artisanal soaps...local vegetables?? No...

...

He pauses in front of a formalwear store, with suits and long silk gowns with puffy 80s bows and shoulder pads, then shakes his head. Those don't seem right, either.]

Something cooler than that.

[ She can't help but make big bug-eyes (literally) at the formal wear, remembering when she tried on the suit with Peter a couple of months ago...

But they're moving away from the store pretty quickly, and Nanami's scanning the aisles. She flies off his head and starts flitting around, checking sign after sign for something interesting.

Eventually she zips back to Atem's shoulder, hovering just above it. ] There's some women's clothes stores if you make a right up here, and some people our age hanging around near one of them... maybe something like that?

[knifemonopoly]

Sounds like a good place to start!

[He heads in that direction, stepping somewhat more purposefully.]

Thank you, for scouting!

[waitingforplayer2]

It's a lot easier when I can fly!

[ She flies at his side as they approach the story. This one in question seems to have a lot of darker, gothier clothes - and the teens near the entrance glance around to look at the monsters as they approach, all black clothing and heavy eyeshadow, and frown at them suspiciously.

Nanami would feel very much more out of place if she was full-size. Being tiny feels more comfortable for now. Atem can take over the social duties here; or ignore them and go right into the store. ]
