I don't think it's that bad... it's easier than going all over the city when you need more than one thing, right?

[stahn completely gets and admires the convenience of having so many things in one place. but still...] I just wish they made it less confusing to find stuff.

[discard]

[Leon is a grandma and doesn't like any of this.]

That is because the organization follows no particular rhyme or reason, aside from the one they've made up in their own heads.

[You know.

The worker bots.]

[majinken]

Do you think maybe there's just a reason we don't know because there's nothing like this back home?

[stahn's not sure he can believe it's totally nonsensical, since so many other people don't seem to struggle with it like they are.]

[discard]

[Keep your total reasonability to yourself, Stahn.]

Nonsense. The boots should have been exactly where we went.

[And...weren't............. no, they both know what's there instead.]

[majinken]

Maybe...

[he's still not convinced, but that's fine. he'll let leon have that victory.] I guess it doesn't matter much as long as we find it soon...

[discard]

... That's right.

[So if it's not by the men's clothing, then...]

There must be a section dedicated solely to shoes...

[hmmm.]

[majinken]

...What do you think that would be near?

[if it's not by the women's... or the men's... and not in the space between...

why is shopping so difficult?]

[discard]

[don't look at him like he should know... he doesn't go shopping!!]

... Perhaps... this way...

[He has no idea.]

[majinken]

[you're supposed to be the smart one here, leon!!]

I guess we won't know until we check...

[discard]

[Oh lord does he try]

I see no reason why shoes of all things would be on an upper floor, which means...

[.....!!! A SIGN. THAT SAYS SHOES.

HA!!!]

... as I thought. [Whatever, Leon, you had no idea.]

[majinken]

[whatever, leon can have this victory. stahn's not going to be too fussed about it, since walking around in circles in such a big store is exhausting. to the shoes!]

Oh, good...! Now we just need to find the boots. [to which he turns and sees a display rack with some boots.]

—Not those boots.

[discard]

[And, incredibly flatly:]

I do not believe they come in your size.

[Thanks for that input, Leon.]

[majinken]

Leon...

[wow with that amazingly dry humor! he already said not those! stahn scrunches his nose at them, in any case.]

It's hard to believe anyone could use those.

[discard]

They do seem unreliable.

[And spiky.

And everything they don't need.]

This way. I doubt you will find what you are looking for in the women's boots.

[majinken]

Right... let's go over there, then.

[he nods to what looks like the men's shoes, although...

they're met with another pair of boots. what is up with cerealia fashion?]

[discard]

[.............Hm.]

I suppose if you are looking to put weapons on your feet, they would be suitable.

[majinken]

...Do you think someone really does something like that?

[discard]

[Just have

the flattest look in the world

ever]

No.

[Don't be stupid.]

[majinken]

[wow

rude]

I thought maybe... things are pretty weird around here...

[don't be rude.]

[discard]

It is clearly some form of terrible fashion and nothing more.

[Honestly.]

Keep going. They must have sensible boots around here somewhere.

[majinken]

It could be both.

[even if it's probably not. either way...]

I know, I know... I'm looking. [he's just not seeing anything that's too close to what he's used to.]

[discard]

[Yeah.... yeah Leon's not either.

This is a terrible thing.

He's frowning as he peers at the shelves, brow furrowed.]

These are all uselessly flimsy.

[You can't go adventuring in these!!!!]

[majinken]

Yeah.

[this plan isn't working at all. why is shopping so hard.]

They look okay for... looking nice. But I don't think these would last long at all for anything important.

[discard]

[Hmmm.... moving on then.... eventually they'll make it to the hiking boots. Leon knocks a fist against the bottom of the boot, arching an eyebrow.]

This is more like what we should be looking for.

[Probably.

He's not really 100% sure, he wears a pre-chosen uniform.]

[majinken]

[he looks at them, nodding.]

They seem sturdier... Like they could last a while the way we're used to. [but the style is still so unfamiliar.] I wonder if they're just as good. They still don't look as strong.
