[wolfwood shows him the map and all the noted destinations are committed to memory easily. he's surprised to see just how big this mall is, and even more so at the number of shops crammed inside of it. between looking over the map and raising his head to take in all the glittering decorations in theme with the season. tinsel and garlands wrapped with slowly blinking lights that move in time with the music playing overhead.]

Bug stingers? Aren't those usually poisonous?

[he never had a chance to learn more about the native inhabitants of noman's land, so he's left to wonder.]

[asipofbride]

Yep. If you eat the stinger it has a knockout effect--so smoking the stinger just diluted that feeling.

[ he says, casually, as if that's a normal child activity as he begins to vanguard their charge--or perhaps it's more of a surly saunter--into the belly of the beast, beginning to scan around for the first of the stores. his eyes linger a little, on the bright lights, the decorations, and the... general commotion that seems to be happening deeper into the mall. people sure are congregating. ]

I wonder if there's anything like that here that would have a similar effect.

[maybe he's curious enough to try. or watch someone else try first.

and yeah, there is definitely something going on here. more people flocking towards what kni recognizes as the general center of the mall. the atmosphere is jovial and energized and when a small gaggle of kids only a scant few inches taller than kni rush by, kni steps closer to wolfwood. his hand moving out to grab the edge of his jacket as he watches the other kids weave around other mall-goers, their voices fading in with everyone else's chattering noise.]

I can see why Vergil didn't want to come here.
