Tuesday
I'm not scared, not at all. I'm not scared. I have to write it down to prove it to myself. Today, when we were at the mall, me, Anzu, and Mai, we were harassed by a bunch of street-quality yazuka. They were pressing up against us and Mai was so strong, just the greatest in the whole world. I admire her so much. After they were gone, it took me a while, but I began to shop. I brought all of my savings, really, because I needed so much stuff! Especially something fancy. I was trying one dress on for Mai and Anzu. It was gold, and there was a black eye of Horus on the tag. The sleekness seemed like something out of Egypt, the linen cloth woven with very fake gold. At least we thought it was fake.
"What is this made of, ma'am?" I asked the store manager, who was in the front helping customers since it was busy.
"That one," he said, eyeing the dress (I was very embarrassed as I was still wearing it), "I've never seen that before. Does it have a price tag?"
"No, it doesn't," Mai said quickly. She didn't like him eyeing me either, and Anzu stood half in front of me. "But if it isn't yours, then someone left it here from another store."
"But Mai," Anzu said, "I've never seen anything with an Eye of Horus on the tag before."
"I have a book of companies with their tags and information," the manager said, who was looking away then. "I'll look it up. I just got the updated version from the main branch yesterday, so I should be able to find it." When he came back he was shaking his head. "I can't find it. It must be hand made, so just keep it. If it was here long enough to be put on a hanger and displayed, the owner must have forgotten it."
We took the dress and had the gold threads looked at (while I wasn't wearing them) and it was real. Then we came here to drop off my stuff and while Anzu's in the bathroom I'm writing as fast as I can and going to Yuugi's in all of our brand new outfits. Perhaps I'll be able to write again tonight. If not I'll see you in the morning and tell you all about it!
