Tre noticed that the sky darkened, a storm is brewing, he had to hurry. After he walked for nearly half an hour around the streets, aiming towards the center of the city, he found the street that seemed to be the former shopping mall of the city. "Perfect, here I should be able to find some clothes", he thought. After walking down the street he could read the word "clothes" on a wall advertising panel that wasn't completely covered with vines; from what he could make out the first floor seem to a regular fashion shop, and the second floor an outdoor shop. At the front the building had huge windows on both floors, but the windows had mostly burst and only at the frames were still pieces of glass. Broken bits of glass were laying in front of the shop and entangled by the vines. Careful Tre stepped over the broken bits and moved the vines with his extended staff to the sides to create him an entry.<br/><br/>Once he was inside he could barely see anything, the vines blocked the light nearly completely. Tre drew the light towards him, absorbed it an then released it as a tiny orb of light in front of his chest. He looked around the shop to find some fitting clothes. He remembered back from the time when he was a little boy and still on Earth that fashion shops usually have a women and a men section, so he searched for wall pictures that showed men, there he should find fitting clothes. He searched for some dark clothes, whatever happened here, being easy to spot was surely not a favorable feature to have. He found some t-shirts, socks and sweaters. He took a few pieces of everything, one to wear and a few more as spare. Then he found some very short, tight trousers; when Tre remembered correctly they are called shorts. He tried one on, it felt unfamiliar, but not unpleasant, so he grabbed a few of them, too. Then he took an oversized shirt, spread it on the floor and laid all his gathered clothes on it, rolled the shirt over his clothes and knotted the ends together to create an improvised bag. Then he headed towards the stairs to go to the second floor, but the staircase had collapsed. Tre searched for an alternative route upstairs, and remembered he saw an elevator before.<br/><br/>Tre pressed the button at the elevator. Nothing happened. "Well, anything else would had been very surprising". Tre forced the doors open, and after a few tries he was able to at least push them open far enough to slip through. Tre commanded his orb of light down and up; the elevator cabin lied wrecked on the ground, a few cables were hanging down from the top, and that the right side he saw a ladder. He shook it to make sure it was still firmly wall-mounted. He climbed up and opened the elevator doors in the second floor. Meanwhile on the outside it had started to rain and thunder. The outdoor shop was a gold mine. He found tramping boots, black, a robust cloth trousers with lots and lots of pockets and a thick jackets which should shelter him from the rain. He quickly put them on and browse through the shop more. On a wall he found a big, cylindrical shaped sling bag, took it down and put all his found clothes in it, and also grabbed a second pair of boots, trousers and jacket to put it into the bag. 'Cause it didn't make much sense to go outside into the storm he continued searching, and put everything into the bag that he thought might be useful later, e.g. a sleeping bag, a compass, a Thermos bottle, a penknife, climbing gear, tealights, several lighters or a non-electric water kettle.<br/><br/>Tre decided to wait inside the store for the storm to end, he had nothing to gain running around in the rain in an unknown city without directions. It wasn't long till sunset, so he might even spend the night here; he wouldn't find a much better place anyway.<br/><br/>(( Should Tre reform from now on he will retrieve that bag quickly after his reformation. ))<br/>(( Btw: My character is missing in the second post. ))
