[ Blue's happy to get out, to leave the house a little while. And it's fun to go somewhere with Matthew, especially on party business. This is good. She's told herself as much about ten times.

She's still telling herself as much when they come to a halt in front of the Great Wall of Spray Paint.

Blue's so tiny, she practically has to crane her neck to see the top row. This is like some kind of crazy paint haven or something. It's also exactly what they need. ] It does make you wonder why people seem to stick to the same few colors when they're defacing property.

[ She leans in, lightly tapping one of the cans. ] This one glows in the dark.

[dreamkid]

[ Matthew doesn't know much about defacing property, but he understands "colors" and"glows in the dark". He immediately directs his attention to that can. ]

Seriously? We have to get this one.

[ He reaches over and plucks the can from the shelf, rolling it in his hands a little. ]

Noah'd like it, right?

[oceiteres]

[ Spoilers: Blue doesn't know much about it either. Her primary criminal behaviors include trespass, breaking and entering, grave robbing, and murder. ]

I think so-- wait, are there any with glitter? We definitely need to get some with glitter.

[ She's leaning over though, to look at the can in Matthew's hands. ] Maybe both.

[dreamkid]

[ Is that all, Blue... ]

Mm--

[ He offers her the glow-in-the-dark can and tips his head to obediently scan the shelves for glittery paints. ]

Here's some!

[ A whole section of glitter spray paint. He starts eagerly grabbing colors off the shelf, filling up his arms. They're going to have to put some of them back once they've picked out the other kinds, but for now Matthew is just scooping up everything he can.

He wants this to be a good party. ]

Maybe we should get a cart.

[ Maybe. ]

[oceiteres]

[ That's all for now, sure. She's only 18. Who knows what kind of shenanigans she'll get up to before she's 20. ]

Wow, there's a lot. [ That wasn't even worth saying, Blue. ] Do you want me to get one while you keep looking...?

[ Somehow he seems kind of, hm. Absorbed? It would be a shame to drag him away while he's so focused on looking at their many, many options. Sure, some will have to go back, but that doesn't mean they can't get a pretty decent variety, right?

Right.

That barn won't know what hit it. (???) ]

[dreamkid]

[ Matthew will stick to the thoroughly legal shenanigans, himself. ]

Mm--

[ He actually looks at the wall, and then back into his arms, and then back up at the wall again before answering. ]

D'you mind?

[ Getting the cart, he means, and he's asking this sincerely. He doesn't boss people around. ]

[oceiteres]

I don't mind, Matthew. Keep looking, okay? [ She might've said no if she thought he was bossing her around, but nothing he says or said gives that impression. ]

I'll be right back. [ And she does an about-face toward the front of the store, ready to hunt down her "prey," as it were. It takes a little bit, because she wants to find one that's not wobbly. Somehow a wobbly cart full of metal cans sounds like a auditory hellscape.

But she finds one eventually and will head on back. Just give her a minute or two, Matt! ] How's this?

[dreamkid]

[ At this stage in the game, Matthew's looking a bit like the retail employee's worst nightmare. By the time Blue gets back he's started stacking cans of paint around himself on the floor, because there were too many to hold in his arms. The shelves aren't in great shape either--they just offered too many choices.

When she shows up with the cart he looks up from his tiny disaster and beams. ]

Great! [ And now he starts scooping the cans off the floor, tidying up after himself, showing her some of them before he puts them in the cart. ]

So definitely these-- [ glittery ones ] --and this-- [ glow-in-the-dark ] --and these look good. [ Gotta get some regular kinds in there, too, right? ]
