The incisive chatter of mingling and shopping people, combined with the sounds of the escalators, loud echoing footsteps, rustling of bags, the chirping of the occasional bird that found it's way in, and random noises from the stores rang loudly through the air. All the sounds were intensified by the openess of the mall, bouncing off the slick floors, walls, and ceilings making so much echo, it sometimes hurt. Kiku shook her head, her camouflage chucks squeaked softly against the tiled floor as she walked past people and stores, her mind wandering and working on blocking out the sounds of those around her. Earphones hung easily off her ears, though hide within her hair so many would not realize she was currently blasting AFI into her head at first glance. Some would call her 'emo' for listening to them like this, but Kiku just thought that was silly, to label people by the music they listen to. Just labeling people period; that tend to get annoying.
'Dancing in the rain of descending ash. Dancing in your dust, I'll see you (all falling)!' the iPod sung in her ear. Kiku cheerfully hummed along to the tune, occasionally singing the words to the song out loud. Kiku looked around, wondering where she should head to. She truthfully was not even sure why she came to the mall, she did not have any real reason to. Her mother had told her she should get out more, see if she could make friends, get used to the area, etc. etc. Kiku shrugged it all off. Though she had to admit, it was rather nice to just get out of the house like this, even if she did not particularly like malls all that much. Too loud, too many people, too many options, too many ways to spend money people didn't have in the first place. Kiku decided to keep walking, pausing in front of a few interesting looking stores, before continuing on, barely paying attention to the outside world as she strolled along, singing along to the music. " 'What follows, has lead me to this place, where I belong, with all erased. What follows will swallow whole; What follows will swallow whole! '"
