"Soo ... what are we getting again?" Silver asked as she walked around with her aunt, Fiona, as they searched for her ingredients. Fiona wasn't listening as her eyes darted from one stand to the next, searching for the items she needed. "No ... that's not nearly ripe enough ..." she mumbled to herself as she searched. Silver sighed and snatched the list from her hand while she wasn't paying attention. A skill she had, and it came in handy when she saw something small she wanted. Bigger things she can take too, but she was more cautious. "I could find these for you ... I'm better at this than you are." You see, they don't buy the shit she needed for her alchemy, because half of the time they only needed a small part in it. Fiona nodded and tried to give her the list, but realized it was already out of her hand. "You are better than me," she said laughing softly. "Well, go on. Go find the things I need." she shooed her away as she continued to search on her end, knowing what she needed anyway. Silver wandered off, wanting to find herself a pair of boots first, which she did have to pay for. Shoplifting boots weren't as easy as shoplifting little items or ingredients. As she walked into the clothing shop, she spotted a boy searching for something warm, next to the shoes and boots. Silver made no note to him as she walked over in search of a pair of boots she saw yesterday. "If someone took those boots I wanted I swear ..." she began to mumble, still searching for those gorgeous black boots that made her look both sexy and dangerous. ooc: Them awesome black boots she's looking for: a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/jeg65.yok3x/v/vspfiles/photos/M9831S1-1.jpg?1349168772 |

Kazu could have transmuted his boots into something warmer, more fashionable, but there was something sort of wrong about wearing or eating transmuted things. They just weren't genuine, and they deteriorated differently. Besides, something all purpose and steel toed his father would condone on the card, and wooly socks were obviously a gimmie. Looking over he couldn't help but notice a flame of hair near him, looking for a precious style. By the up and down looks of her, she was more of a rocker, not even remotely interested in the thought of a "cute" boot.
He could jive with that. With a little bit of a half smile, he watched her search for the rack, obviously not finding anything brutal enough to catch her eye. He looked behind him to the bored clerk and noticed the color and style of his shirt- The uniform was an atrocious cornflower blue, but he transmuted his shirt to match totally. Figuring they had a very tentative privacy, Kazu decided to try his luck for a second time today.
" 'Scuse me Miss, can I help you find anything?" He wore his most charming smile, lip piercing perfectly displayed like it was simply a magnet.

She let out an irritated sigh as she continued to search, now losing hope that her precious boots weren't there. 'This happens to me every single time!' Silver thought to herself, 'every time I get the money, I end up losing the stuff that I want ...'
Silver looked up, noticing the cute punk she saw walking in. She let out a sigh and stood up, blowing a strand of her fiery red hair away from her face, showing off her vibrant yellow eyes. "If you can help me find black ski-boot lookin' things that have a ton of straps on them, then yes you can help." Silver examined the boy standing in front of her. Hot, as she could obviously tell, and he looked like he was one of them bad boys, though he didn't seem like a poser. God she hated them.

Kazu wasn't exactly a women's fashions experts-- All their clothes looked better on the floor. So he thought about it for a second, then seized a knee-high boot. Pliable leather, something natural to work with. With his bare hand he gripped the sole, concentrating on buckles up the front, a curvier arch, more rubber in the sole, even a cross-hatch design on the bottom to gain traction in the snow. The buckles manifested, snaking up the front and buckling themselves quickly. The sole grew and squirmed in his hand, but Kazu kept his grip, keeping an eye on the clerk in the back. He handed the boot to her, as if he had done nothing more than plucked it up from the shelf. Maybe he had successfully hit on a girl from the school, or maybe he just did a magic trick for a local. Either way, right?

Silver smirked wide as she held the boots. "Holy shit," she said smirking wider, showing off her dimples, "Veritas or Spiritus?" That was the only question she had to ask. If you had a power,and you lived here, you went to one of the private schools. It's the way it worked, and she was starting to dig the new power boy. She then tried on the boots and moved around in them a little. "And they fit, even better." Silver gave him a smirk before putting her hands on her hips, "so, I'm guessing I gotta pay huh?" She really didn't want to say that, but even though she steals, she was still honest and good (in some ways more than others).

Frankly, the look of awe on faces was probably what Kazu woke up in the morning for. (Maybe an exaggeration, but...) He felt like the school names were akin to secret passwords for the club, and it was kind of cool. "Spiritus," he said, changing her old shoes to look like the leather shoes he just transmuted. He put them back on the shelf, keeping a slight concentration on the shoes keeping their form.
"And no, I won't make you pay. I don't even work here. And you technically didn't take anything." He tapped his shirt and it dropped its color and style, back to a baggy grey sweater, a half smile on his face as he picked up his stuff and continued to shop, although he was mostly pacing the store. "I'm Kazu, by the way."

Silver couldn't help but laugh when he said he didn't actually work here. "I kinda figured," she said to him. It was actually kinda nice to finally meet someone of similar traits. "Sylvia," she greeted back with a nod, "but most people call me Silver, Silvy, or Silv. Take your pick." Truthfully, she didn't care what they called her, but she didn't really like being called by her full name. She didn't know why though.
It wasn't long before her aunt walked in with a bag full of things she needed, without paying for them of course. "I see you were too busy talking to look for the other half of the things that I needed." she teased looking to her niece.
"I have a perfectly good reason why I wasn't collecting those items." Silver stated as she pointed down to her boots. "This hot fellow here decided to ... help me search for the boots I wanted."
"You didn't just 'find' them did you?"
"Nope! that's the best part." She knew the clerk wouldn't be paying attention. He never did, so it was easy to sneak things around him like gloves or some nice toe socks.

He thought it was kind of a coincidence- The girl 'Silver' underneath the color of gold, bright red. Honestly he was getting a positive vibe from her, but then again, he already kind of knew he would. He supposed it was because he associated 'cute' with his sister and 'sexy' with rockers, the way every teenager grows up with rock n' roll and sex.
His thoughts, however, were halted by a woman coming in and talking to Silver. Obviously they knew each other, and obviously Silver's older lady friend was more like family member. Wow, so did not predict that! He grinned the best grin he possibly could, knowing what he looked like to maternal figures. He strayed to pick up a green winter jacket, fluffy with goose down, lined with faux fur. Checking the price tag, he was only half listening to their conversation. He was budgeting, and this jacket would leave him with pocket change. But it's totally justifiable, I just eat in the cafeteria for a month....

Fiona looked back at her friend, then smirked and looked at Silver again. "Well, here's the rest of the things I need." she said to her handing her the list. "Don't forget like the other billion times."
"Don't worry," Silver said in a cool tone, "I don't think I can forget a list like this." She skimmed over the list and smirked. "Snatching things like this is child's play." Her aunt gave her one last look before walking out of the store. Silver then nudged Kazu's arm with her elbow and smirked. "You good with a little ... illegal browsing?" she asked him smirking. That was her way of saying 'shoplifting', though it didn't sound so horrible when she said it like that.

As the woman left him and Silver to their dubious mission, Kazu internalized a sigh of relief. At least the cockblocker was gone, and he could continue shopping, and more importantly, flirting. And also, shop lifting. No way was he about to willingly live off of ramen and cafeteria food, he hadn't even been there yet, he could be resigning himself to a fate worse than cholera. He nudged her back, casting a casual smile at her. "Illegal browsing? I know you've just met me, but trust me, we'll do more than just browse."
Kazu took one more casual look at the cashier, who met eye contact and promptly left the front to head to the bathroom. He was sure of this when a couple minutes went by, and the clerk hadn't returned. A red alarm sprung off in Kazu's head; What an IDIOT! He just left the drawer and the floor to take a shit? Knowing that there was a camera somewhere around here but not sure where, Kazu held onto his coat and boots as he circled the store, at a leisurely pace, picking up things he fancied. Using a wall mirror he located several black camera bulbs in the ceiling.
He decided to do something that would make him look eccentric, at least for a little while. He started to hold articles of clothing to his body to see if it would even remotely fit, but he leaned against the wall with his hand. He was ignoring his visage for the moment, concentrating on the materials behind the wall, the electric lines, the plumbing, the sheer volume of insulation. Whether it was intuition or sheer luck, Kazu had found a fantastic wall to use.
The drywall under his fingertips dissolved into sand, allowing him access inside. Finding the electrical wires he sought, Kazu concentrated his energy on manifesting electrical energy, from within his soul, out his fingertips, and into whatever was on. The effect was instantaneous; Flourescent light bulbs overhead exploded with the unexpected surge, panic locks engaged, and whatever didn't spring into action lost power entirely, every breaker flipped. Moving quickly, Kazu came to the door of the employee bathroom, touching the handle and fusing the lock, door and hinges into one solid piece.
Turning to Silver in the dark, Kazu grinned, hopped over the counter, and helped himself to several shopping bags, knowing they'd probably come in handy. He stuffed what he chose earlier into his bags, then continued to browse at his leisure. "Cameras are off, the locks aren't an issue, and Zitface is stuck in the can. So its just you, me, and a free spree."

"Now this is what I call advanced free shopping." Silver said with a wide smirk as she looked at the entrance door. Her eyes began to glow a bright green, and her tattoos under her clothes glowed through as well. She concentrated on the lock of the door, and heard a snap meaning that it was locked. "Now we can shop at a full discount." she said smirking wide as the glowing of her eyes and tattoos dimmed to nothing.
Silver walked around the shop and found a pair of see-through thongs. "I could so need a pair or two of these." she said smirking wide as she laughed and stretched the fabric with her index fingers. It was a little hard to see without the store lights, but it was worth it when you could get a whole whack of stuff for free and not get caught. "By the way," she added, "what's your power? The ability to change materials into something else?" It was a good guess, considering that he created her awesome boots with another pair, and used his power to cut the lights and lock the door to the bathroom, which she thought was hilarious.

Kazu went along robbing the racks of decent shirts in his size, but got distracted as she began glowing in the dark. And not like a glowstick glow, but like an inner glow externalized, something so freaky because people didn't glow. He moved closer, and saw her eyes were shining too. It was cool to witness, leaving Kazu with goosebumps. He was liking this girl more by the second- Shoplifting casually turned to full on filching, and she was totally on board. Just imagine the chaos we'd cause if we were back in Cali, he thought absently, keeping an eye on her as they went through the loot with no regrets.
She held a piece of elastic and a few inches of fabric attached, also known as a thong, where he could see it, and Kazu didn't even pretend not to have a horny grin. "Why bother? They end up on the floor anyway." He sized up some denims before tossing them in his bag, feeling scarves for softness. "It's an alright guess. I'm an Alchemist. If you want an over simplification, it's like being a mad scientist and a sorcerer." And to prove his point, he turned a belt rack into a giant white Lucky Cat, with obnoxious googly eyes. After he stopped laughing at his own ridiculousness, he hazarded a guess at Silver's power. "I'd have to say, I've never seen a girl glow when I was sober. So maybe you manipulate energy? You know, like using the inner power?"
Kazu loaded up his bag and started on another, this time underwear. He was doing his best to omit briefs for the obvious reasons, but he found a series of comic book heroes on boxers, and he just had to laugh. He stashed everything but Aqua-man, holding up the hideous orange pair for Silver to see. "This one gets no love."

"The glowing is just for the show," Silver told him as she made a bag come to her, her tattoos and eyes glowing again, but never dimmed as she spoke. "I have the power of telekinesis." With a smirk, she made all the cameras come down and crushing them with her mind, so that no footage of him killing the lights was shown on the tape. "There, now we're as innocent as soft little bunnies." That was obviously a joke, for she was never innocent. She always had a reputation in Veritas, and she planned to keep it.
Silver couldn't help but laugh out as he held up what looked like some orange boxers. "Oh god no. What people come up with for boxers." she agreed as she shook her head and hovered up to the top shelf of a bra rack and began taking bras that was her size. "Take, take, fuck no, eh, take," Silver repeated as she slipped bras into the bag that she held.

Kazu watched as she demonstrated again her power, ripping all the powerless cameras out of the ceiling and dodging one as it came down near him. It was interesting that her telekinesis had a side effect. "Didn't have to take them down, though. I fried everything." He smirked, loading up his final bag with a leather jacket and some gloves. He tucked scarves over the tops to keep the contents inside and tied the bags together, to make for an easier getaway.
Now that he was done, he hopped up onto the counter and lit himself a cigarette, watching Silver decimate a rack of bras. He could hear the thumping of the clerk inside the bathroom, trapped and freaking out, completely in the dark. Poor guy probably won't ever work at this store again, and the cops wouldn't know what to make of what little footage they did find. Of course, in such a little town, they probably aren't much more sophisticated than VHS tapes... Cigarette on his lip, Kazu started snooping around the cabinets, finding what he sought- A dead VHS recorder and the hard-drive it was recording to. He touched them both, concentrated with slight effort, melting them into piles of plastic and metal sludge. He wiped his hands off on a nearby shirt and stuffed it into his pocket.
Flicking an ash on the floor, he returned his attention back to Silver. "So before we decided to go Bonnie and Clyde on this store, you needed to get something for your... mother?"

"Aunt," Silver corrected as soon as she was done up on that top shelf, her tattoos and eyes dimming down completely to their original color. "We have to get a few ingredient for her Wicca, or alchemy, whichever you believe in most." Personally, she could care less of what it's called. It's technically both really, both using potions or poisons to either heal or harm someone, with a little hint of something spiritual. "It's nothing big, I've done this stuff before. It's child's play, really."
She walked up to him with her bag slung over her right shoulder, looking up at him with her golden yellow eyes. "You're up for that, right? After all, we did just destroy cameras and locked the clerk in the bathroom to get this shit for free." Silver gave him a smirk that was always seen on her pretty face, and he's also seen it a couple of times when he killed the lights and cameras.
