She also wanted a tattoo but figured that Faith and Zoryn would actually kill her if she came back with one. Well, Zoryn would be impressed but Faith would kill her or be disappointed ~~which was worse~~. Either way, that was off the table ~~for now~~.

Feigning interest in the t-shirts and hats, Sloane’s eyes quickly roamed around the shop to see if she knew anyone in there because if she did, then there was zero chance of her plan coming off. She was after all, just twelve years old and despite looking older than her age, there was little chance they wouldn’t check her age or tell her she needs a guardian. Then again, if she just entered with enough confidence, maybe she could simply blag her way into getting her nose pierced.

Wearing a pair of ripped black jeans and a t-shirt from some punk wrock band she’d never heard of, Sloane moved off to the side of the entrance and pulled out a small pouch of coins. After all, getting turned away because she didn't have enough money was far more embarrassing than getting turned away because you were too young.

With a birthday at the end of summer - or, rather, at the start of term - now was the time for Charlie to start listing those things he wanted so he could get them for free, rather than some other way. Thing was, he didn't really know what he wanted, but he also didn't want to get anything he didn't want... though he supposed there was always trading up or selling on.

Anyway. He'd come to Paradise to check out the merchandise, like the clothing, maybe the earrings - him having had one ear pierced for some time - but he didn't think the place would have much promise. The things he knew he wanted, he'd have to get through his older sibling, because his parents had all these ideas about what was or wasn't suitable for a boy of just-turning-thirteen.

But Charlie only reached the spot just inside of the doors when his attention was diverted, his eyes instead finding a familiar face; a face he knew from school, and one that belonged to a girl in his year.

"You've ripped your jeans," he observed, by way of greeting, though with heavy implication that he knew full well it was part of some kind of fashion, or whatever. Not one he'd really thought applied to her, based on what - admittedly little - he knew of Sloane Knott so far.
