The deadly sin of Wrath had his hands shoved deeply into his pockets as he walked to the store.

Normally he would be all about these trips to buy some new cute clothes because nothing felt better to him than sliding into a cute dress or a sparkly pair of pants and walking around town slitting the throats of anyone who thought they had a dessenting opinion to his unrelenting amount of kawaii, but today he was not excited.

Not excited at all.

And the reason he wasn't excited was because he wouldn't get the chance to wear anything that he bought today. In essence, he wasn't being allowed to unleash his full amount of cuteness. He felt like there had to be something inherently wrong with the school telling him to spend money to pass a class. Not that he or anyone in his family really was hurting for money, he just couldn't see himself actually enjoying something like that.

And he really wasn't enjoying it.

He was supposed to be meeting his partner at the store, and he threw on something random for the occasion. Nothing bloodstained of course, because Greed always had a cow when he tried to leave his house in anything that had even the smallest fleck of blood on it. Just black jeans and a short sleeved shirt with his symbol with a red open vest on top of it.

The store smelled sweet, just the way he liked it.

His eyes scanned the place, trying to find his partner. Was she late?

The female was in a great state this morning, her blue orbs wide open, almost dilating of excitement, of course she goes shopping all the time, but for assignments, it was almost too good to be true!

The female licked her lips, as if she was thinking of eating a beautiful meal rather than creating an ensemble of clothing for a child, that’s how much she loved it.

Today the brunette wore her hair loose, letting it’s full length flutter out for the day, she also wore some bright purple leggings, something that would be offended if you were to even call the poor thing a tutu and a denim jacket (with a rainbow top underneath). Ally has to admit, she wanted to make an impression that she knew just what she was doing.

And as the girl entered the store, her eyes sweeping the place for the partner to the project, the clerk seemed to be staring at her, all Alyona did despite this, was poke her tongue out and browse the store for the male she was assigned with.

A few seconds later, the figure of a little kid wearing nothing to noticeable came into sight, and the females blue orbs widened, a big smile passing on her features, was this the kid she was working with? Nobody else seemed to be around who appeared to be fifteen or younger…

Ally did a small fist pump to herself before bounding towards the male, while doing so her eyes quickly took in his features before she placed her hands, almost over-excitedly, on her hips.

“Hello budd- ehh…”

The girl paused, and searched her mind for his name. This was not happening right now, she was so distracted by his childish appearance the name of the male infront of her had been wiped straight out of her mind.
“I’m so sorry! What’s your name again?”

The sin looked around again before his eyes caught sight of the girl in bright colors and denim, and he had to admit that he thought she looked pretty fantastic all things considered. If nothing else she looked like she had the fashion eye to pick out the right colors and stuff. He wondered if she would have the ability to sew them all back together though. As he'd learned sadly a few months ago, being able to wear those kinds of clothes and being able to sew them were two totally different and non-overlapping skill sets.

As she bounded towards him the sin wasn't sure what to make of her. She seemed energetic enough, so at least this wouldn't be boring.

Though, he couldn't keep a big grin from coming onto his face when he realized that she didn't remember his name at all.

Good. He didn't remember her name either. Actually, now that he scanned his memories, he couldn't remember ever actually asking her for her name at all. He supposed that just went to show that he wasn't exactly clamoring all over her for her friendship.

"Name's..." He paused. And then he laughed to himself. "Call me Clyde. What's yours?"

He asked, wandering around the store. He didn't really know what he was doing. What did children wear these days? Maybe he should text Bonnie and ask what he thought about it. But he got the impression that all he would get for his troubles was some unhelpful answer, like Bonnie telling him to screen print a masterfully done copypasta onto a yard of fabric and use that to make a shirt.

Thanks but no thanks--he got the impression that if he showed up to class with a shirt with the words "what did you just fucking say about me you little bitch" on them that he would get a pretty negative mark.

"Do you have any ideas in mind?" He asked her.

The brunette nodded, Clyde was an interesting name, with a peculiar old fashioned “tingle” to it. She titled her head to the side at the thought of what century it would come from, just for a moment, a stray thought it was, and she concluded maybe the 90’s or a little later. Stop Alyona, shopping is no time to be thinking of something otherwise! The girl stretched her hands out infront of her, ‘tsk’ing at herself as she quickly thought up an introduction for herself.

“Hiya! I’m Alyona, if that’s a mouthful you can call me Ally!” She giggled, hoping she didn’t come off two strong, or anything short of cute, that’d be annoying and she’d have to work on her reputation to be the cutest cutie in school otherwise, well she is still trying to get the hang on that, but still.

She flattened her tutu skirt thing out of a habit for what she didn’t know what to say as she thought about some things. They were doing the project for a child, right? Is didn’t have to be included to a specific gender, so maybe throwing some old and new design could work well… But then again, kids tend to look more on that strange modern perspective on things don’t they? She let out a small, barely audible sigh before looking up from her skirt and clasping her hands together, making the motion as noticeable as possible, because that was a cute thing to do.

She also titled her head as she did a little recap on kids, maybe something based on cartoons, like else from frozen combined with Dora, that would look cute right… Wait, maybe not.

“Well, this kids I know of the current generation wear modern things, thought I doubt bringing in something like that’ll get good marks, so we have to think big!” She exclaimed, licking her lips in thought of just what the perfect design could be.

Of course, Clyde wasn't the boy's actual name. Or at least, it wasn't the name he'd been instructed to introduce himself as. But he didn't like Micah, and on top of that Micah wasn't him. Micah was the name of whoever owned this stupid squishy body that he'd been forced into inhabiting, who sometimes ever-so meekly would give him weird feelings and strange emotions. Or... he used to.

Not so much anymore.

Part of him felt that he should have felt sad or something from the loss. But he didn't. Not really. It was nice to have a little peace and quiet in his head for once.

"Well then, Ally," He said, rubbing his hands together. "I was thinking that whatever we make should be colorful." He ran his hands along some of the fabrics and crinkled his nose. They had all summer to work on this, so he wasn't exactly worried, but he was also not sure if this girl could see his vision.

Or... looking at her attire, maybe she saw his vision too well.

“Well, this kids I know of the current generation wear modern things, thought I doubt bringing in something like that’ll get good marks, so we have to think big!”

"Big huh?" He sad, looking around the store. Nothing he saw really inspired him, until--

Oh god.

What was that?

He trotted to the other half of the store. It was a child's shirt with dangling tassels like Elvis. Of course, he didn't know about the Elvis thing, who listened to Elvis anymore, really. He just thought it looked kind of like a bird. And also like a Luchador wrestler.

"We should use this!"

Alyona toyed with a few racks, her eyes scanning the racks as fast as possible, looking for some inspiration or something that looked at least more unique than the stupid designs trying to get her attention. They did not deserve her praise. They were simple, mature pieces that were anything but trash to the adorable quirky bright fifteen year old, and trash had to either be thrown out… Or recycled, but that’d beyond the point she was trying to get across.

In half a second, her thoughts drifted from clothing to her father, what did he dress her in as a child? She scrunched up her nose in thought, only to be snapped out of what was going nowhere, to an amazing remark about the clothing being colourful. The females face lit up, and her eyes widened. She rubbed her hands together, and nodded happily, but didn’t reply as mind was trying to take out all the trash, mentally of course, infront of her. Nope, ugly, disgusting, ew, wow who the hell’d even where that… That sorta thing.

She saw Clyde wake his way over to the other half of the store, probably mesmerised by something, and bounded over to him. She stood behind him and easily looked over his shoulders, covering a hand over her mouth the stifle a small giggle, wasn’t he like a twelve year old in a candy shop?

She ran her hand over the fabric and toyed with every thing she could find on it, before raising an eyebrow. Sure, it was nice, but if you would look behind the beautiful stitch work and enticing design altogether, you could see some cheap knockoff of something that could have bee wonderful, and with cheap knockoffs what is there to match with than other cheap knockoffs… Of course kids these days did like cheap knock offs…

The small girl found herself now sitting on the ground, and trying to look at it from a bottoms view, rather than pick it up and risk it dropping to the floor, her gaze trying to catch what could be a downfall if they were to use it…

“It sure is unique.”
She started, placing a finger to her lip in thought.
“But do you see the wow factor coming from it, something that screams ‘this is it!’?”

Wrath wasn't sure what she meant.

"Well obviously this is it," He said, looking at her as if she's missed a crucial step in his thought process that he hadn't told anyone about. Had she been over there staring at the king's most beautiful piece of clothing and missed the glowing gem before her very eyes? If they were going to build a line of clothing then they were going to build it from this, god as his witness. "You have to build a line around a piece of clothing! An idea!"

He was getting heated. And he pushed this shirt a little closer to her face, as though bringing the fabric closer to her would make her understand better. "And this is that piece!"

Wrath was getting loud now. From the corner of his eyes he could see some woman behind the counter glaring at him and threatening to call security. He'd kick their ass. He'd kick the ass of everyone in this store right now. He'd kick his own ass..

"Our line will bring the world into the glorious new age! The age of...! Of..." He stared at the shirt and flicked one of the tassels. "What are these called, anyways."

Alyona raked a hand through her brown hair, flinching slightly at his words, she forced herself to stand up and she shifted awkwardly as she did so, and as soon as she stood up, Her blue orbs searched his for a hint of him joking about the piece, before sighing and glancing around awkwardly, this would not do. She clasped her hands behind her back and glanced at the shirt, he was passionate about it enough she guessed, and that counted for something. Clyde was stubborn, and that couldn’t mean much good to her getting her own way, so, reluctantly, Ally nodded her head.

“The age of Tassels… What an adorable idea you have there…” The girl flinched slightly while calling it adorable before she brushed her hand over the shirt slightly, maybe they could make use of the tassels in a better manner and something much MUCH more adorable. “But we need more of a theme to it, being just “tassels” wont impress whoever the hell our teacher is, so maybe… Hang on a second.”

The girl scrunched her nose slightly, as she went through a few more clothing articles, still not finding anything to her taste. Her gaze lowered to the floor, almost in defeat, before she noticed her skirt. The frills, the chills, oh my.

She could see tasseled frills. Her eyes widened and she grinned, before skipping over to Clyde.

“Oi, what about we add frills, like not just plain frills, frills that give you a thrill with their big pattern!”

The girl grinned in her small achievement, before placing a hand on her hip.
“What do you think?”

The Sin could tell just by the look in her blue eyes that she wasn't moved by his words. He pouted at that and turned the shirt to face him, regarding it for a few seconds with renewed scrutiny. Once again, he found that it was absolutely flawless no matter what she said, but alas she seemed to think that she knew better than him. Glancing at his clothing and her clothing, maybe she really did think she knew more about over the top and colors. He knew he should have worn something nicer. Maybe it would have been a good time to try on his new purchase from Anime Con Dallas last month.

Well. You win some you lose some.

But Wrath was not prepared to give up this.... "tassel" as she called it. The tassel gave the shirt wings, and it filled up the space between the torso and the arm, space that he had always thought had been underutilized in modern fashion.

This shirt was literally the answer to all of his prayers.

“But we need more of a theme to it, being just “tassels” wont impress whoever the hell our teacher is, so maybe… Hang on a second.”

"It's not the idea, it's the execution!" He retorted, holding on to the shirt with his finger through the hanger's hook. "You have to look past the tassels on the surface to see the tassels underneath!"

She didn't seem to listening to him. God damn it.

When she bounced back and presented a new idea--adding frills. Wrath made a face. He wasn't a huge fan of frills. "Frills are tacky though."

Now he was just being stubborn to new ideas. She toyed with the frills and gave him the best glare she could muster up, why wasn't he open to incorporating ideas!

The gold in her eyes swirled as she stared in the article Clyde chose in something that wasn't anger, and more along the lines of "ew". Why did he latch onto this disgusting outdated number of all things was something Alyona will not be able to understand, and why he didn't like her frills went over her head.

"And tassels are outdated, your point being?"

The girl crossed her arms over her chest, keeping a good grip on the article of clothing she was holding. Oh he was started to annoy wittle Ally, and so the girl pouted. Arguing was not adorable at all, but she had to do it if she wanted her way.
