Riiiiiiinnnnnnnggggggggg!
My eyes cracked open, only to glare at the Iphone alarming on my bedside table.
I slowly sat up and rubbed by eyes tiredly. I reached blindly towards my phone, knocking my glasses off in the process.
Cursing quietly, I picked up my phone and hit 'Answer Call', once again forgetting to look at the caller ID.
"Heyo? Yuki here." I answered the phone while rubbing my eyes tiredly.
"Hey! Didja make it to Tousan safely?" I smiled tiredly, Eris was on the other side of the call.
"Hey Eris. Yup I'm at my new house already. Hey I'm not going to be able to record today, I have to go and buy a new mic and a vlog camera. Also I need to set up the internet conections and a lot of other technical stoof so..."
I trailed off, waiting for Eris to pick up on what I was trying to say.
"Okay. So no recording maps? Aww and there was a really cool one I saw by- oops I dont want to tell you that."
I rolled my eyes.
"Alright anyways I got to go and get that stuff done. So talk to you later I guess." I ended the call and put my phone back on the nightstand.
Stretching, I pulled the covers off of me and slowly got out of bed. I glanced around the sparsely furnished room and headed towards the bathroom connected to the Master bedroom.
I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My black hair was in disarray from sleeping. My emerald eyes seemed dull as I stared at myself. I grabbed the hairbrush that I had set out las- well early this morning, and began brushing my hair, winching at every tangle the brush got caught in.
After finishing that I had to search for my toothbrush, after that I took a shower and got dressed for the day in a shirt that had 'Neko Brigade' written across the front.
I pulled on my pair of pants that has like 20 pockets, that I nicknamed my 'ninja' pants. After that I grabbed my phone, keys, and my messenger bag and headed out the door.
"Now...where is the mall?" I froze. Of all the things not to remember, I forgot where the mall was. The freaking MALL.
I'm a genius.
I headed towards the nearest house and knocked timidly on the door.
"Hello? Who's there?" A woman's voice sounded through the door. I blushed in embarrassment.
"Umm my name is Yuki, I'm your new next door neighbor. I was trying to get directions to the Mall." I said while rubbing the back of my neck.
The door opened to show an older woman around her mid 40s. She had dark brown hair and light hazel eyes.
"Hello, my name's Helen. Welcome to Tousan. Did you need some help?" Helen's voice was soft and gentle, like a mother's.
"My name's Yuki Shadow. Thanks for the warm welcome." I stared shyly at the ground, I was never outgoing around older people, I always felt like I would seem like a fool with my normal personality. "Umm do you know where the nearest mall is? I need to go there and get recording equipment."
'Jeez I feel like a little girl, having to explain everything she does.' I thought to myself.
"Okay then Yuki, the nearest mall is down the street. Take a right onto Greene Street, then continue down the road until you find Renee Boulevard. After that take a left on the nearest street and you should see it." Helen said slowly, once again as if she was talking to a child.
I looked up at the smiling woman, and couldn't help but smiling back.
"Thank you Ma'am." I was confused when she looked shocked. "Did I say something wrong?"
She laughed. "Oh no sweetie! It's just that I only hear my son say that anymore. I guess you really are not from Tousan."
I laughed as well. "I guess Mom taught me well then."
Helen slowly stopped laughing, and instead settled for a wide smile. "Maybe later you can come over and meet my son, I'm sure you two would become fast friends. He really needs a friend a little closer to home than the ones he plays games with over the internet."
I nodded. "I guess my Mom could relate, I have quite a few friends over the internet as well, but I also have a lot of friends in real life as well."
Helen laughed lightly. "My son is actually at the mall as well I believe, I think he said something about being at a signing? I don't remember. But you should head off, I've been waisting some of your time."
"Thats cool, maybe I'll run into him." I smile. "However, you haven't waisted my time at all. It was nice talking to you. I hope your son loves you, because you seem like a very nice woman. Thanks for the directions and just being nice."
Helen smiled warmly, and I gave her a grin in return.
"Your welcome Yuki. I really hope you can come over soon and meet my son."
"I hope so too, bye!" I waved to Helen and headed off, the directions burned in my head.
:\Time Skip/:
I stood in front of a giant mall, I had stood there for about a minute just staring at it in a state of shock.
I looked around and was surprised by the few cars parked in the parking lot. Well I guess it was to be expected, it was Eleven o'clock, meaning most people were in classes or at work.
I made my way to the large double sliding doors that lead into the massive building.
Stepping inside, I had a mini-heart attack at just the immense size of the place. I practically sprinted to the service desk and asked if there were any maps.
Because with my sense of direction, I could get lost on a one-way road.
The woman at the desk just looked at me, her glasses hanging on the bridge of her nose, and pointed to my right.
I thanked her and headed over to a wall of pamphlets.
I scanned the rows and sighed in relief when I found the map.
I snatched it and headed to the Central Fountain.
After getting there I stared at the map, searching for any electronics stores. After about two minutes of looking and planning, I was able to map out the closest store and make sure it wasn't an AT T.
Not hating on them or anything, but they don't have the best of recording equipment.
So instead I headed to a store called Records Tech.
I had to navigate through the mall, hoping not to get too lost.
By the time I got to the store, I had a headache from reading the darn map. I rubbed my forehead and went into the store.
I slowly made my way through the aisles in the store, trying to find recording equipment. I searched up and down most, if not all, of the aisles before finding the aisle I was looking for.
There was another person in the aisle, but I paid them no heed. I just made my way past them towards the mic's and camcorders.
I searched for the same brand I had of each before and almost cried in relief when I found them. I picked them both up and stood up from where I was crouching.
I glanced over the items in my hands for a minute before feeling someone tap on my shoulder.
"Yes?" I turned around, only to look up at a guy with long skater-boy style brown hair. His eyes were a maroon-ish brown. I blinked, he looked familiar, but from where?
"My name's Ty, I just wanted to know how good is that brand of mic? I've been needing a new one for a while." He smiled, I gave him a shaky smile in return.
And the reason for my shaky smile? I just heard the same voice I've heard from 100 videos come out of this guy, Ty's, mouth.
The same voice I would laugh at and fangirl when it would say 'yolo' and 'dont do dis'.
That voice...was deadlox...irl
