Daryl wasn't exactly a stranger to sales. But these ones seem much more chaotic than what he's used to. There's a small part of him that wants to opt-out, in all honesty. Department stores are rather large spaces with already large numbers of people. This seemed to be more overwhelming. But still, he'll try his hand at it. He could certainly use some new things for his apartment.
He manages to get a few new outfits, and now he's on his way to electronics to try and get a toaster. But as he finds his way to it, he finds himself eyeing a toaster oven as well. And he can't seem to reach much of a decision on which to get.
"Does the oven really toast, though? It seems to have the feature. But the spaces are very different from the one on the toaster." He stares back and forth between them, before he blinks wide-eyed with something of a realisation. "Can I... Can I use my oven to toast bread?"
He seems taken aback by the very idea. And is it worth wasting power to heat it in the oven, if he can? Would it cost less to get a smaller option, or to just use a little more electricity?
He's definitely unsure now. Help.
..::|| Stamp Collecting ||::..
You know, he'd always wanted to win prises when he was in grade school. He was never lucky enough to be the one to get that far. Even when he tried his best at the fundraisers. His classes never got the pizza parties. He never got enough tickets at the arcades.
But now! Now he just has to collect all of the stamps to get a prise! He's absolutely confident he can do this! Finally, there will be fruits to his labour!
...Except, he can't seem to find the stall to one of them. Did he get turned around somehow? Maybe he somehow didn't see one. This is way more of an easter egg hunt than he thought it would be.
If you're holding a stamp card, too, he's going to beeline his way right over to you.
"Excuse me. I'm looking for one of the stamps. Can we compare our cards? Maybe we can help each other out."
Look. He's serious about this prise. He has to give childhood-him some sort of victory. Even if he's an adult now.
..::|| Interrogation ||::..
He's on a bench in the park, scribbling down notes, drinking thoughtfully from his paper cup of coffee, clearly absorbed in solving whatever-he's-got in front of him. A thoughtful hum, and for a moment, he forgets that his pen isn't his coffee and tries to take a sip from it, before jolting out of his reverie when what hits his tongue is plastic, and not a warm, bitter drink.
He looks at his pen suspiciously for a second, as if it were somehow switched for his coffee, before looking down beside him on the bench to find the familiar cup.
He gives a sigh.
"I'm not much further from where I started." In fact, if he's honest with himself, he hasn't gotten any further at all. But he doesn't want to be honest with himself, so he'll just keep that thought where it is.
He looks around the park briefly, catching sight of you.
"Hey, excuse me," he calls and waves you down. "I have a few questions, if you don't mind. Can you tell me what you know about the Dreamer situation?"
