Desirae was extremely sad at the fact they didn't have a library it was a place of wonder, you could smell the pages of an old book and actually flip the pages. Virtual library is nothing like that feeling you get. She was upset at how she handled the question but she wasn't going to say something about it because she didn't want to get in trouble for it. She looked through the list and luckily she was a quick reader. She grabbed the number 11 cart and hurried off to the wand shoppe first because she thought it would be exciting to go there, she walked quickly to the shop. She noticed there was a big line but she was patient so she could wait. When she was up to the front she asked for a rosewood wand stand and got everything that you could possibly get because she doesn't like anything she owns, not that she owns much, getting in bad condition.

She walked out of the wand shoppe making sure none of the things in the cart got knocked or fell out. The next place she wanted to go was the pet shop plus because she loved animals, they were the one thing that gave her peace if she didn't have a book. Pets understood her more than humans did, which wasn't hard. She walked in and she saw every pet imaginable, she wanted to stop and pet each animal but she didn't have the time. She would of also liked to adopt them all but that wasn't possible either. she sighed and looked around. She went to the egg section first and looked at the pictures to find out which egg was the water dragon since that was the one she chose. It looked as if it was the ocean itself it had beautiful waves that were blue and white, she took it carefully from its stand and held it close to her gently but securely. Then she went to fruits and veggies section because she wanted to get her pet the most nutritional stuff possible, the last thing she wanted was her pet to get sick.

She got pet chow next because she thought it was cool how it was designed specifically for each pet. She didn't think her pet needed a muzzle because she was going to train it, but she got one for the time being while she trained it. She didn't like the idea of a leash because she didn't want her pet to feel constrained, but she got a blue one that looked like the ocean because she also didn't like the idea of her pet running off. She got a few assorted chew toys that made no sound, the kind you can get with fluff in it. She also got a nice rocking bed for her pet so it could be reminded of the ocean. She said goodbye to all the animals and she swear she heard someone laughing at her as she walked out.

She walked over to the general store next and looked inside. It was the biggest store she had ever seen. Her mouth opened in shock and she smiled. She looked through the clothes and thought to herself that she would definitely be giving thanks to Lady Violetta about giving her free money. She almost cried with joy. She decided to get a leather jacket, a denim one and a short jacket. For tops she decided to get tube top, crop tops, singlets, normal t-shirts and skivvies in a range of colours except pink. For bottoms she decided leather shorts, denim shorts, tights in array of colours except pink, blue jeggings and black jeans. Also for shoes she decided definitely no high heals but she would get high tops like this:

and boots that look like this:


She didn't really have enough time to look through the books but decided to get a deck of cards so she could play card games with her friends if they liked card games anyway. She got paper, ink, printer, pens, pencils, sharpener and a couple of rubbers since she loved to draw. She got a hairbrush with the engraved skulls on it, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner and of course liquid soap. When she finally got out of the general store she was starving so she headed to the The Village Cafe to get something to eat and drink. When the lady at the counter said "Anything you could dream of", she was hooked in. She asked for a "triple scoop sundae and a hot chocolate with two marshmallows on top", it was her treat for the day.

When she got it she was amazed it was like heaven on earth. The flavors were all there and the hot chocolate was so foamy that it left a foam mark above her top lip. The marshmallows just melted in her mouth. When she finished she rushed back to the cart area to put her cart back so it went up to her room. She noticed that some people were already finished and she hoped she wasn't the last one, she was never the last one. She smiled at everybody and waited to see what would happen.

She noticed Lady Violetta coming past the sweet shoppe and she jumped up and down and waved at her smiling. "Hey your back, what did you get at the village", she smiled, she hoped she didn't look ridiculous in front of the other kids.

@Aisling
"New Clothes can be good. Yeah, I'm getting hungry as well. So wand kits first, then the cafe? Wonder what kind of snacks a magic school even has to be honest. I might end up at least trying one of everything. I wonder that too. All I remember Lady Violetta giving us was a list of this semester's independent study courses. I have no idea what else we'll be taking....Can't wait to find out though. You think she'll tell us? Or make us wait to find out?"

Even though the whole thing was new to her Ayaka was excited about it. Instead of worrying about what's going on back home, she decided to turn this into some sort of learning experience. Rikami barked at her to get her attention. "Rikami," Ayaka laughed and pet him on the head. She started walking toward the Wand Shoppe afterward.

@Aisling

"Awesome, I totally got to go to the sweet shoppe just to look at the different kinds of things they have there, next time we go", Desirae insisted. "I got a lot of stuff too, I've never had this much stuff in my life, its wonderful", she had tears in her eyes. She held her dragon egg in her hand holding it close to her body for warmth. She waited to find out what we were doing next, she was extremely excited.

@PhoebeCarlisle
"If you go today and stock up, you will get a free food locker. I think that today would be a good day to go and there is a hour before we leave." Lady Violetta smiled and winked at Desirae.

Thomas had by now gathered all the items that he thought he needed and extra just in case. He needed to have something to use as rewards and for encouraging students. His last stop was the Sweet Shoppe. He didn't care much for candy but he did enjoy chocolate chip cookies at the end of the day. Perhaps he could a few to enjoy with his evening tea. He did stock up on various strange candies that he wondered what they were.

@Aisling
Ayaka chose a stand as well. She was a little hungry as well, but figured she'd think about what she wanted as they walked over to the cafe. "So the cafe next?" she asked her friend as she started walking there.

@Aisling
"I'm thinking about a cheeseburger and soda," Ayaka said as they got to the cafe to see a couple others already here. Ayaka found a table and sat down. Rikami immediately jumped in her lap. "Well as long as you keep your paws off the table I guess." She pet his head.

@Aisling
"Yeah I think it is," Ayaka was saying as she saw Thomas walking over to them. "Yeah so far. We still need to get a few things though. We got hungry and decided to take a break." She sat there petting her frost wolf pup since he clearly wanted attention right now. "Did you get everything you wanted?"

@Aisling
Ayaka was also starting to second guess herself about not wanting to take classes from both academies, but the idea was to not overwhelm herself. If anything she'll probably still end up learning something about dragons from her friend anyway. "He seems to be a playful ball of fur, though, right now he seems to be quite patient for a puppy. Sort of makes me wonder if he thinks he'll get a treat to be honest...Oh! We haven't ordered food yet."

@Aisling

Skotadi had been walking around for a while as she had already finished buying everything that she wanted to and decided that she might as well look in the Sweet Shoppe as she had heard that there was some strange things in there. She delightfully surprised by some things called Cheepers which she thought were just delicious but other than that she wasn't generally too interested in the sweets and soon left with a small bag of PoP Rocks. While she walked around she wondered what happened that was so bad after the village went dark, she decided that she would stay after it went dark to see what happened. She was very proud of herself for thinking of something that she could potentially get into huge trouble over, she was usually the teacher's pet and obeyed every word but she decided to do something different for once, she figured that in the end it would be worth it. She went to the General Store with purpose because she had a purpose, she bought a black torch with a red flame design so that she would be able to see and, after seeing that it hadn't come with batteries she bought some batteries and placed them in the torch.

Then she went off to find a hiding place that she could wait in, she decided that she would stick around the General Store as it was the furthest away and would be the first place to go dark.

Having fifteen more minutes isn't what Ayaka wanted to hear seeing as how they still had things they needed to get from the General Store plus needed to stop at the Candy Shoppe. "um, I can catch up to you later. There are things I want to make sure I get." Mystique obviously really wanted her sweets, but to be honest, Ayaka wanted to make sure she was going to have what she needed before going to get snacks.

She put Rikami in the cart and went off to the General Store and as quick as possible picked out a bookbag, some clothes, a flute (since apparently it's needed to help take care of a frost wolf), a few things to decorate her room with, and some books. Afterward, she hurried to the Sweet Shoppe and just picked up any random box a candy. Ayaka planned on trying them all at least once anyway so it didn't matter. It ended up being Flower Popping Corn.

"Hope I didn't take longer than fifteen minutes," she said as she hurried to park her cart.

A thought came to Mystique. She did not get any clothes! She had to get some clothes and the rest of stuff on the list. Very quickly Mystique pushed her cart to the General Store and began to run down each aisle grabbing this and that item. The only things she checked for were shoes and clothes in her size. She was not sure what all she needed but she put nearly everything in her cart without even thinking if she would need it or not. This may be the most haphazard shopping trip that anyone ever made. Mystique did not even pay attention to time........
