Supply Run [Ryu]

‘I want to go home.’ That was the single thought that passed through the mind of Karakura’s lethargic doll upon her entering the mall. Anzu had gone to this place plenty of times, twice really, with Seika for various reasons that mainly pertained to finding ridiculous clothes to put her in. She still really didn’t know what to think of Seika’s obsession with dressing her up in styles that made her seem either out of place or like she should belonged to some Japanese singing group. Yes, she sometimes enjoyed the attention her legal guardian gives her, but sometimes she wish the woman would tone it down a few notches though that was wishful thinking. From all her years living with Seika, she could definitely tell that the woman was rather eccentric which was fine by her so long as she wasn’t subjected to it 24/7.

Yeah, Anzu usually came to the mall with Seika, but this time around her guardian was not by her side and she was within the mall for something other than clothes to be dressed in. It had probably been a month or two since Anzu had joined Karakura High School, a place she was still getting use to. She hadn’t ever been to school before, not when she was living in the orphanage, nor the two years she had spent under the care of Seika. All the schooling she had received was always from her caretakers, so being thrusted into an entirely new environment she had never experienced before was taking some getting use to. And she was slowly, but surely, getting use to the boring lessons, her loud classmates, and whatever chaos may ensue within the school. But she missed the days where she didn’t have a large sum of homework to do and could sleep as much as she desired.

She sighed softly, taking a deep breath as she looked about, wanting to quickly finish the task Seika had given to her. She was here not for clothes nor food, but for something that her guardian considered quite important… school supplies. And quite frankly, Anzu knew that left to her own devices, finding the shop would be difficult since the mall was bustling. She certainly picked the perfect time to come.

Her eyes snapped about, looking for the mall’s directory, an awesome thing that would cut down the time she spent within the mall significantly. Yet, she could not find it either because she was blind, which she didn’t believe she was, or because her mind wouldn’t register the big board with directory on it. Anzu sighed, rubbing at her eyes before yawning. Perhaps she should come at a later time, or maybe she should just ask one of the many kind citizens to help her out. Deeming the latter to be the better option, her eyes once again swept over the crowd, locking onto a male who looked like he would be somewhat helpful. With another sigh, Anzu made her way over to the male.

“Uh, excuse me sir. Can you tell me a store that sells a whole bunch of school supplies?”
