Roderick hated the mall. Too many distractions and too many stores selling things that folks don't actually need. Not only that, he wasn't entirely sure he had this 'Blush of Life' thing down well enough to risk too much contact with the living. He snagged a thick long overcoat when he left his temporary shelter in the Avalon club to go over his normal attire, a button up long sleeve shirt, blue jeans and a sport coat completed with a pair of dark brown steel toed shoes. Now he walks though the after Christmas crowds getting last minute deals, spending their Christmas money or making returns in secret.
In his hand he held a piece of paper with three words on it that he occasionally looks at and grumbles as he moves from clothing store to clothing store, only looking more upset as he makes the fifth lap of the mall tonight. Finally he stops in the middle of mall, the water fountain splashing in front of him with it's coins glittering under the surface and at least one person at any given time trying to snag a coin or two while they think no one is looking. He looks at the paper, his anger finally boiling over as he shouted to no one,
"The fuck kind of theme is 'Darkness and Night'?!"
