[Log] Shopping is not for the faint-hearted
Characters: China, anyone else who isn't hungover from Christmas Day
Status: Open
When: December 26, around noontime
Location: Somerset Shopping Mall
Summary: After Christmas comes the battle known as the Boxing Day super sales.
Warnings: Watch out for the crowds! Being trampled is not unheard of.
Yao liked Christmas well enough. It was pretty, with all the decorations, and getting days off from work was always a nice bonus.
It was only until after Christmas though that things -- to him -- started to get really interesting. For a start, there were the dramatic discounts as shops tried to get rid of their stock in the narrow window between Christmas and the New Year. And there was no better day to exploit this than Boxing Day.
If, of course, you could survive the crowd of like-minded people. Pushing his way through the press of bodies in the mall, Yao managed to avoid the current of people streaming into a fashion clothing store and navigate his way into the homeware shop instead. He'd seen an adorable rabbit-patterned plate set there on 60% discount in the catalogue...
Ah, there! Only two more left. Quickly switching his shopping bags to one arm, he hefted the box up with the other -- ah, it was sort of heavy -- and supported it in the crook of his elbow. Perfect! Now to browse around for any other good things before checking out--
-- He half-crashed into someone as he turned. "Aiya!" The box slipped dangerously before he caught it. "Hey, be careful!"
