Summary; A vampire, an old maid, and a blind pack mule go shopping... J/K J/K it's avoiding mistletoe teamwork, mmkay~!
Log;

Marie found it easy, unexpectedly so, to reach the fountain without hitch. The exact affects of the mistletoe he could not ascertain from the network, aside from an end result of kissing. His worry, then, had been of mistletoe suddenly growing, or forcing a person to remain in place until another was drawn. Reports were mixed.

Either he walked a blessed path, or most (all?) of the mistletoe did not grab single persons; Marie had no difficulty. The worst of it was tuning his headphones so loosely, to allow in so much noise -- it allowed him to be aware of the movements of every individual within twenty meters, yes, but also carried conversations and other sounds. Wet, smacking sounds, and indignant follow-ups.

It wasn't much of a worst, as after al l --Noise Marie was well accustomed to clamor of all kinds. Once reaching the fountain, two minutes early, he twisted again the knobs. A little finer; closing a little more out.

"Miranda!" Krory exclaimed when she arrived, at first thrilled and quite soon after bewildered. "Ah, I see you've already been to it!" All those bags...

He looked at Marie and then to the crowd in front of them. Everyone around them was buying Christmas gifts, and he wanted to as well! But there were two problems with this desire. First, two of the people he intended to shop for were standing right next to him. The second dilemma would be the money thing.

So the answer to Marie's question was a bit delayed. "W-well I think I will be just following along for now, if that's all right. I haven't a lot of ideas on what to get just yet!" Mostly true. He picked up a few of Miranda's bags (to show he wasn't a complete waste of space) and smiled with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

Maybe it really wasn't wise to go out if he had no money and mistletoe was supposedly everywhere. But then, he had to protect Miranda and Marie too! Yes, no turning back now!

Miranda blinked at the loss of part of her bags, straightening up. "You don't need to, mister Krory, I can carry them!" she said, before taking a peek at the bags in front of her still. The presents were in there...Good thing Krory had picked her tin cans, in the end.

The panic over, she turned to Marie, and uttered a softer "Hello," before remembering that he had asked for something too. And that Krory had answered that question already, so all there was left was...her.

"Ahah, actually...Somehow, I managed to get all the shopping done myself, so maybe...Kanda's soba is all that's left?"

Beaten partially to the punch! That not being an actual thought or sentiment in Marie's head; though he did, as Miranda protested Krory's help, bend to scoop up the rest of the bags.

She could at least put her mind to rest on this: Marie could safely carry any and all bags of Yule gifts, as, after all (say it with me), he couldn't see. Weights, shapes, and sounds might give something away, but he liked a good surprise enough not to put too much thought into that.

Tilting his head toward Krory, Marie suppressed his grin into a more discreet smile. "That's fine. I'm sure you've already had a good look around, but it never hurts to do it again... and, if you're still looking, I'm sure one of these places could use the help. If only for the holiday season."

Shifting his hold on the bags, he nodded. "Just the soba? I'm impressed! Though, that'll cut the tour down."

"Oh no, you should let us carry them!" Krory assured while he watched Marie take the rest of the bags.

He wasn't keeping his current situation of unemployment a secret exactly, but it wasn't something he was going to mention without a little prompting. But it seemed Marie was already on top of that. "That's very true! I'll be sure to ask around..." And maybe he could get discounts on gifts if he worked somewhere nice....

"Ah, but that means the risk is lower too!" Lest we forget the mistletoe crisis. He looked between Miranda and Marie before trotting off towards the shops. "Well, no better time than the present~!" Never mind that he was probably headed in the wrong direction.

"Ah, it's over here," Miranda softly said, putting a hand on Krory's shoulder and pointing to, predictably, the opposite direction.

Once corrected, she started walking, keeping close and between them both. "You could ask in restaurants, or coffee shops, maybe...or as security...?" she offered, numbering a few jobs off the top of her head. Though Marie would probably have better ideas that those...
