Cruising and Perusing

Established in 1976, Larson's Comics and Games has grown into a successful business since its early years. As the town's largest comic book retailer, it's a popular destination for graphic novel fans of all ages. In addition to its shelves of superheroes, mysteries, and fantasies, the store also boasts a wide range of roleplaying game resources, as well as backrooms that can be reserved for table-top sessions with complimentary access to source books. A handful of arcade cabinets decorate the video gaming corner, which, while slightly underdeveloped compared to the other focuses of the store, still offers a decent range of games less mainstream than those found at the chain retailers like Target.

Henry sympathized with his views on higher education while wishing Kimiko good luck on fighting sexism in the Olympics. Samuel couldn't think of any ways the modern Olympics were misogynist off the top of his head, so she should be fine. Henry went on before turning his attention to a graphic novel that caught his eye, breaking the conversation.

He wasn't sure what to think of Henry. While they apparently held the same interests, Henry ran his mouth far too much for his liking. Besides, he was an underclassmen and he was graduating in a few months anyway, so it was a little too late to be making friends in high school.

He noticed Kimiko hold up the novels she was holding and point towards the desk. Samuel got the message, and nodded in acknowledgement as she excused herself. He looked down at the Hedge Knight, which was still in his hand. It didn't hurt to get it, so he may as well follow suit.

    Hmm, looked like a graphic novel. Cool. Was it really about Cthlulhu? it certainly looked to be. That was excellent, he was always looking for new mythos stuff. His nose buried in the novel, Henry idly wandered off from the other two towards the chairs, completely lost in the fascinating story that tantalized from within.

    So distracted by this fascinating discovery, Henry didn't look up until the others were long gone.

    After paying for her graphic novels Kimiko, turned to look at the other two boys. Henry was still wrapped up in the graphic novel he had found so Kimiko while Samuel was still by the shelves so she made the assumption that the conversation was over. Waving goodbye to Samuel Kimiko headed out of Larson's. She was planning on some relaxing reading when she got home.

    He waved back at Kimiko as she left, leaving him and Henry in the shop. Henry was still absorbed with the book he'd picked up, and Samuel took this as an opportunity to leave. He paid for the comic and skimmed the opening pages as he stepped outside.

    ...opening with a burial? This should be good.
