||Justice's Attire||

Intro for|| Lori

Sometimes she thought her ideas were absolutely brilliant. It was such a boring day and there was nothing to do that she hadn't already done. So of course she trekked on over to the house Izzy was staying in and told him to get ready to go to the grocery store. When he asked her why, she couldn't help but grin and explain it was a candy run.

That was around fifteen minutes ago and just now they were actually entering the building--none of them were old enough to drive so other modes of transportation were much slower. Eagerly Justice held onto his hand, excitedly pulling him along. "Come on, Izzy, this will be fun!"

Inside the radio was playing. Not too loud, but enough that the lyrics and melody could at least be decipherable. "I have an idea! Let's see who can dance the silliest to aisle... Three!" She beamed brightly and started to do her funniest move, looking for him to join in on the fun.

Izzy's outfit

The day so far had not been very eventful for Izzy, something he was happy for. Having gotten most of his assignments done for his next classes, save for a project due within the next couple of days, he had decided to take a step back and work on some plot ideas for roleplaying. Not that the online community he was involved in was huge, but it was his turn next time to GM. He had one of his books in front of him to use for inspiration as well as created a list of different scenarios everyone's characters could go on. Sitting at the opposite end of his bed had been Scruff, who seemed none too bothered at all. It looked like it was going to be a pretty quiet day until Justice burst into the room and practically dragged him out. Izzy didn't even have a chance to respond before they left the house and were on their way off campus. Fortunately for Izzy, his wallet was kept in his back pants pocket and Scruff seemed to pay no mind.

When he had finally gotten the chance to ask, she merely responded they needed candy. Not that Izzy could argue; when didn't they need candy? But a heads up would have been nice is all. Still, Izzy couldn't quite hold back on the confusion at Justice's description. "Fun? Uh...see, I've kind of had to make a habit shopping for me sometimes when my parents bought foods I couldn't it. It's not exactly the word I would use to describe food shopping..." Oh, but Izzy should have known better. This was no ordinary food shopping - it was candy shopping! It was WAY more important! Honestly, Izzy had no idea how serious or maybe even stuck up he could have sounded at times until Justice came around.

The supermarket wasn't all too busy this time of the day, which was for the best. When it got busy people could be in such a rush and complain why there weren't enough registers open. But when it came time for Justice's suggestion Izzy just blinked. Not that there were even a lot of people where they were to even notice but...dance silly? That...yeah, that sounded odd. "I um...I'm not..." he started to say, only to feel cut off when Justice started dancing with no problem. Oh sure, she could dance like that! She went to school for dancing so Justice would have no remorse or anything! Izzy on the other hand? He shook his head, "I...I'm not really much of a dancer, and I'm not even sure this is much of a dancing song anyway. I could imagine dancing to something like Dynamite or even something classic from the 80's or 90's because who didn't dance then, right? See, the thing is, my feet and my head aren't exactly completely in sync with each other so if I started dancing...."

She stopped to give him a look,shaking her head and clicking her tongue. "Obviously you haven't been shopping with someone like me." She offered him a grin, batting her eyes at him slightly then laughing it off. "That just means I have to show you how it is done!"

She was quite enjoying herself, dancing like a buffoon. She did not care who saw, she just enjoyed being herself. But Izzy was like a wet sock, talking about his head and body not being synchronized and yada yada.. She stopped moving and tilted her head at him. She swished her mouth to the side and sighed heavily.

"Izzy, lighten up! You've got to cut loose! Dancing isn't about what's up here!" She lightly put a finger to his forehead. "It's about what you feel here." She lowered her finger to sit square on his chest. "Now come on, show me what you've got!"

She started to dance slightly, grabbing one of his hands and moving his arm in an effort to get him started.

Well Izzy definitely couldn't argue with that! Justice was a character, albeit a fun character. The difference was, Justice kind of had the option to be free and open with herself. Izzy still felt kind of stuck in a place, like he had to put on this strong front and be this good little Jewish boy. When he first came to Metric he told himself he was going to cut loose and be better...it just hadn't happened yet.

"Ok, maybe you're right. But I'm not like you, Justice. I don't dance freely or like a maniac..." he quickly caught himself, "I mean that in the most complimentary way." Maybe he should try that again. "You're ok with doing whatever in front of people. You can be like an open book if you want to. I'm not like that. That's why I stand behind a camera and take the pictures. So I'm not front and center." But of course, that wasn't going to be enough for Justice! Not hearing any of it, she took his hands and started...jiggling it? That's what it felt like, anyway. It felt as though Izzy's arm was waving, or that it was jello of some kind. He raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Uhhh...is my arm supposed to feel like pink jelly?" he wondered.

He managed to move his feet slightly, almost as though Justice were pulling him somewhere - or maybe pulling him to dance? - but that probably wasn't saying much.He was able to tap his feet a tiny bit, if that meant anything....

Some days it seemed as if Izzy was just... hopeless. But did that mean Justice was going to give up? Never! She knew that somewhere beneath all that prim and properness Izzy seemed to exhale, there was a goofball just waiting to emerge. She just had to give him some work.. and time.

Not that she was very patient, herself. She let out a snort of laughter, not caring that it was an 'unattractive' sound. "Izzy, you may be a closed book but I am flipping open the cover! It's time to see what is in your contents!" She hoped maybe he would just see what she was doing and mimic her, but no. Instead he stood there--though she did catch the slight tapping in his feet you can guarantee she noticed that!

"You actually specified pink jelly? Not purple or orange?" She blinked, stopping and letting hi arm drop for a moment. He really was a wet sock! She had to change this quick! The status of their trip here was at stake! Giving him a slight pout, she folded her arms over her chest. "Alright, fine. Let's play a game then! Let's see who can find.. the Peanut M&Ms first! 321 GO!"

She let out a laugh and took off for the candy aisle.

Izzy raised an eyebrow. She described him specifically as a closed book? Well...she wouldn't be wrong. Keeping to himself, having his roleplaying and photography...yeah, he could kind of be a closed book. It wasn't even like he had a reason to open up to anyone before. But there Justice was, trying to show him that there was more than all of that. Still...part of it did sound a bit odd. "Uh...you do realize some people might be able to find a way to describe that as dirty or kinky, right?" he wondered.

At the question of what kind of jelly, Izzy shrugged his shoulders. "I mean, when you think about it there are certain feelings and descriptions associated with colors. And not to brag or anything, but I think I've read and roleplayed enough to be able to specify some sort of difference between the color of jellies. If someone was going to move like purple jelly there'd have to be a more mysterious or confusing nature to them, something that no one would suspect. And a jelly like orange or yellow would have to be a lot more energetic and hyper, although the yellow would be a bit more childlike. You probably move around closer to like yellow jelly, if I had to guess." How she even let him go on that long was questionable! Letting his arm drop and just staring at him while he went on about the contents of dancing jelly. Well...no one could say he wasn't creative...?

But the next thing he knew, Justice was declaring a search for peanut m&ms. Before Izzy could even respond, Justice was running off. Izzy blinked. "Hey wait a minute!" he gasped. She didn't even give him a chance. But if she found the candy first.... Oh man! Izzy had to catch up! Eyes widening at the realization, Izzy had no choice but to start running. He tried chasing after Justice, which wasn't hard because of he was taller so theoretically his legs were also longer. "You...you just tricked me, didn't you?" he asked from behind her.Justice definitely didn't let up!

At his words, justice ran a hand over her face in exasperation. Shaking her head and groaning quietly, she peeked at him through her fingers. Really? He had to bring that up? "Izzy..." She groaned and rolled her eyes. No, she hadn't realized that, because she did not think in terms of that. She just meant he had to let people in for once, let loose!

His sudden speech..er.. lecture on types of colors and jellies was half unexpected. She thought he might respond in a smart way as he seemed to but the long response just caused her to stare at him with blinking eyes. Oh Izzy, he was definitely quite a character. He was so different compared to Justice but that was what she liked about their friendship. While she definitely did her best to bring out the goofy side of him she knew was hiding deep down, he was able to keep her at least somewhat grounded.

But she didn't want to feel grounded right now. She'd been feeling that way all week! Today was a day to embrace life and have some fun while at it! She laughed as she took off, glancing over her shoulder at him as she left him practically in the dust for a moment. Though his height over her definitely gave him an advantage and he was at her heels in a matter of seconds.

"And what if I did?" She grinned wildly. "I had to gt you out of that speech somehow!"

Izzy really had no idea how Justice did that. It was just in her nature, he supposed, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with that. She just...in the short amount of time he'd known her, she found ways to take him out of his comfort zone that he never expected. And really, it was the kind of thing Izzy needed. He needed to be pushed; he needed to branch out. It was the kind of thing he went to Metric for; that was one of the whole points. So he could get away, have more experiences, and turn out to be the kind of person he wanted to be rather than who his parents expected him to be. But at the same time he was just so used to being this kid. The smart kid, the kid who spoke facts and saved creativity and fantasy for books or the computer. The kind of kid that was structured, that kept to himself and that was just expected to be a certain way all the time. Izzy didn't want to be the same way all the time. It was going to be a lot of work...but fortunately, it seemed like Justice was along for the ride. And he really hoped she'd stick around,

Though he caught up to her pretty quickly he had not immediately noticed her grin. But by her voice and choice of wording, this was exactly what she had in mind. Izzy couldn't keep his eyes from widening. Though, the good news was that she wasn't running to get away from him. Narrowing his gaze, Izzy quickly managed to pull up ahead. They were even enough considering Justice's athletic background and Izzy's height. But at that moment he managed to get ahead of her. "Oh yeah? Ok well..." What was a good comeback....? "Well guess what? When I get to the candy aisle first I'm getting first dibs. And you can't call dibs on the same candy!"

Seeing the candy aisle straight ahead, Izzy reached out his arm to grab one of the shelves at the end cap. Sliding on his heel, he managed to use the shelf to turn him so he got down the aisle first. But there was still the matter of finding the candy. Not even the candy in general; the specific candy. He knew it was towards the end of the aisle, but at which side? Which shelf specifically? Izzy looked back and forth from his right to his left as he ran. Poptarts...breakfast foods...cereals...gum.... Gum! The candy had to have been close now! And where there was candy there were the m&ms!

She laughed in her small victory. Whenever she got Izzy to participate in her goofiness she counted it as just one more step to getting him out of that awkward shell he encased himself in. Justice smirked when he struggled to find something good to say back to her.

"Oh really? You want to go up against a local girl?" she teased and quickened her pace just a tiny bit in order to keep up with his long strides. "I would love to see you try!"

But he was already turning into the aisle by then. She was close on his heels when she heard some soft laughter from behind her. Stopping in her tracks, Justice glanced to a couple of girls whom were looking at her. At first she thought to just brush it off and go see if she could actually beat Izzy. But instead she furrowed her brows at them.

"Excuse me, but what is so funny?" She could tell by the way they laughed that it wasn't in a nice way. One of the girls just laughed a little more while the other placed a hand on her hip.

"I can't believe you hang around such a dork!" The girl flipped her blonde hair over her shoulder.

Justice frowned a little. But then she smirked at her idea. "Oh you thought that was being a dork? I'll show you what being a dork is!" With that she made a few silly faces then mimed kicking a field goal. The girls went quiet for a moment in shock then laughed a little as they walked away.

Justice shrugged then followed Izzy down the aisle, shaking her head when she saw he had found the M&Ms. "I think I need to turn in my candy-finding trophy. You beat me!"

Ok, so Justice knew the area and store better than Izzy did. So what? All he needed to know was which aisle said candy above it. That had been the easy part. The tricky part was going to be seeing exactly where it was. Would they be at his eye level? Would they be at the top shelves or the bottom shelves? Right side or left side? When he'd found the gum he knew he was close. It seemed to go from gum to gummy candy to fruity candy to chocolate bars to actual chocolate. Of course all the chocolate would be at the end of the aisle! Then he just had to find it. Izzy hadn't even noticed right away that Justice had stopped following him. He'd gotten so focused he just assumed he'd lost her. Or maybe she tried to cut down one of the other aisles in hopes she'd get there first? Whatever. Izzy still made it.

Peanut m&ms, peanut m&ms, peanut m&ms.... He found the kit kats and the reeses easily. There were the Hershey kisses...like five different varieties, specifically. He had no idea that many even existed! Izzy's eyes widened when he finally saw the m&ms. Plain, dark chocolate, crispy, peanut butter.... Peanut! Grinning and chuckling lightly to himself, Izzy picked one of the bags off the shelf. "Looks like I won this time, huh Justice?" But there wasn't an answer from her right away. Izzy looked in the direction he came from, but didn't see her. He turned his head to see if she was going to come from the other way, maybe sneak up on him and surprise him. When he ended up hearing Justice's voice from behind him, from the original direction, Izzy turned back around.

He raised an eyebrow. "Hey where'd you end up going?" Izzy asked. "I thought you were right behind me." Was it even a fair race? Did Justice just let him win to get him to agree to this in the first place? Or maybe it was just a taste of winning that'd get taken away next time. Well, Izzy could get pretty competitive, too.... Sort of!

Gazing at the candy options, Justice tried to think of what she could choose since Izzy had already declared they apparently could not call dibs on the same candy. But most of the other chocolates were way too chocolatey. SO that left fruity and gummy. Which she wasn't opposed to in the slightest.

"I got distracted by the cereal isle. They brought back Count Chocula! I am going to have to convince Dad to grab some boxes later before they run out of stock!" It was a white lie, she didn't want Izzy to worry about people thinking he was a dork or whatever. Besides, she really was excited about that Count Chocula cereal!

She grabbed a couple of bags, still unsure about her choice. Holding them up she turned to Izzy for his input. "So what do you think screams 'Justice's candy' more: Skittles or Twizzlers?" She loved both, was always sure she had some in her backpack at school. Skittles she loved to see how many she could fit into her mouth at once. But Twizzlers she loved to stick some on her canines or between her lip and gums and pretend she was a walrus or a vampire.

Of course no one knew those facts better than Izzy.. Granted her dad knew things like that but he was supposed to: he was her family! But Izzy was her closest and bestest friend--Vinny aside. SHe just wished he would loosen up a little already and have fun! Hmm maybe a sleepover or something would help in that respect. And she knew her dad wouldn't mind it, he liked Izzy and Vinny, trusted them far more than anyone else that went to the school.

Count Chocula, Count Chocula... Why did that sound so familiar? Izzy knew he heard it somewhere before. He tried to think for a minute before blinking in realization. "Oh, wasn't that part of some monster cereal franchise or something? The other one was Frankenberry or something, right?" Not that either were something Izzy could probably eat, anyway. Even so, the cereals in his house growing up were pretty straight forward. But at least Cheerios were always kept in the cabinet, and those were gluten free. One of the few things Izzy didn't have to worry about.

Izzy tilted his head, rubbing his chin with his free hand. He glanced back and forth between both of Justice's choices, weighing the options in his head. He knew Justice, and he knew either way she would find a way to play with her food. Izzy would never, although Justice did convince him to build a cracker tower once which was the closest they'd gotten. Originally it was going to be graham crackers and then they would make marshmallows after, but if any fell on the floor birds maybe would like plain crackers better. Hey, it was a start. Fortunately, however, despite their differences, Izzy liked to think some things about his friend he could read pretty well. "I think it depends how much candy you wanna eat at once today. If you want to make the candy last, Twizzlers are the way to go. They're longer, chewier, and they have more range to play with. If you want to eat as much candy at once as possible, Skittles are the best option. And they have all those different flavors so it's not like you're eating the exact same thing over and over again. You never know how many of each one you'll get in your mouth so the taste will be different every time. The way the flavors explode in your mouth definitely describe you, but the Twizzlers also match your playful attitude."

Of course he spoke about the candy no different than he would most other subjects - straight forward, with the facts, and like he knew exactly what he was talking about. But he was also complimenting Justice in the process - rather, at least he was attempting to. While most people would probably not be able to pick it up, Justice could notice the little hints in his voce and the choice of words he used. Exploding, playful, play with...not that those descriptions were generally outside Izzy's vocabulary, but in his defense he had hardly been around people before he even knew were like that. Still, it didn't mean he had to look at it so seriously in general. Much like many other things about Izzy, that was something he needed to work on. And if anyone could help him, Justice could. They did have a lot of years of all...Isidore...to undo!
