Anthem City: Fall of the Possum

[Blaze]

Suzie looks at the poster, a similar frown crossing her face.

"Sentential Lass? Because she has firm soft... senses of justice and right." she says, making cupping motions around her chest.

"Suzie!" Amanda says, though the wry grin on her face shows what she really thinks.

[Harri-chan]

Georgia's eyebrows rose slightly as she looked up at Suzie, and then, unable to stop herself, she burst out laughing, even as Amanda made a tame attempt to tell the girl off! "You're probably right", she smiled, nodding her head, and immediately felt better. She still felt jealous of course, but in a weird way, it was easier for Georgia to handle being jealous of someone's curvy figure than it was to admit to being inferior as a super hero.

The incident did serve as an embarassing reminder of how far away from being a hero she now was however, and she chewed her bottom lip, staring at the reflection that showed up in one of the windows of Amanda's car when they reached it. Her focus was only broken when a sudden gurgling sound came from her tummy. She blushed, looking down, and pressed one hand against it, "What time is it?", she asked, all her watches abandoned back at her apartment with the rest of her adult possessions.

[Blaze]

Amanda unlocks the boot of the car and starts putting the bags inside as Suzie checks her pink watch.

"It's... 1:30. You getting hungry?" she asks
"We'll get some lunch before we continue shopping." Amanda says

[Harri-chan]

Georgia's eyes are drawn to the pink watch of Suzie's, and she tilts her head slightly, before nodding, the pigtails seeming to exaggerate every movement she made. "Thanks, Auntie Amanda", she smiled, not even realising how little she had to think in order to call her longtime friend that. Placing her bags into the car, she turned and gave the woman a rather sudden hug. Amanda knew that Georgia had always adored her, but she'd always seemed kinda awkward when it came to physical contact... that didn't seem to be the case anymore. She didn't even say anything as she gave her a gentle squeeze before stepping back, "I never knew shopping could be this... fun", she blushed.

[Blaze]

Amanda gives a small 'eep' of surprise as Georgia hugs her. However, a happy smile graces her face and she hugs the girl back, patting her head

"You didn't? You have a lot to catch up on... but for now, lunchtime!"

She leads the two teens back into the mall, towards the food court!

[Harri-chan]

Walking back to into the mall, Georgia saw that same group of teenagers with their skateboards and roller skates again, and blushed at how different she felt now she was in her dress. She hadn't become the Georgia she was as a kid, or even the child version of the adult Georgia everyone knew. Neither of those would have worn a dress like this. Amanda and Suzie were crafting a whole new Georgia, a Georgia Hepkins.

[Blaze]

Soon, the trio arrives at the food court! The place is bustling and the smell of fast food fills the air. Thankfully, Suzie spots a free table and rushes to it, lithely twisting through the crowds to claim it! Amanda heads over to it, grasping Georgia's hand so they don't lose each other in the crowd!

[Harri-chan]

Georgia started to follow after Suzie, but she didn't get very far as she felt the hand wrap around her own, keeping her at Amanda's side. It was impossible to feel even mild annoyance toward her friend, as she knew everything Amanda did was motivated by a desire to keep her safe. Although it was rather embarassing that Amanda felt the need to do this with her, while the one that actually was a child had been allowed to hurry on ahead.

It was usually Georgia, as the Possum, that was protecting others. She wasn't used to anyone protecting her, but it felt nice to know there was someone there doing so, and have her a warm, tingly feeling inside. She was still blushing though when they reached Suzie and the table, her brown eyes looking around, seemingly daunted by the volume of people, or maybe the choice of food stalls.

[Blaze]

Soon the pair arrive at the table and only then does Amanda release Georgia's hand. She takes a seat and smiles at the two.

"What do you two feel like eating?" she asks.
"Curry!" Suzie immediately says, a grin on her face.

[Harri-chan]

Georgia slid into the seat beside Suzie, tucking her dress against her thighs as she sat down. When asked what she wanted to eat, she glanced to the teenager beside her, but wrinkled her nose at the request for curry. Her pigtails were swishing back and forth constantly with all the movement of her head, "Um... I'll have whatever you're having, Auntie Amanda", she said, looking flat out confused by the amount of choice she had.

[Blaze]

Amanda smiles and hands Suzie a $20 bank note.

"Go get yours, then we'll get ours when you come back." she says. Suzie nods and heads towards the line at The Curry House.

"Don't eat out too often I'm guessing?" Amanda asks Georgia

[Harri-chan]

Georgia watched Suzie head off on her own, the hand-holding still fresh in her mind, causing her cheeks to go a little red. Turning back to Amanda, she chewed her lip and gave her head a little shake. "I dont really... go out much", she murmured. "Between work and... that other thing... about all my free time gets taken up by sleeping", she explained, shifting a little in her seat, and adjusted her dress. "Will Suzie be okay on her own? It's very crowded here... "'.

[Blaze]

Amanda nods in agreement.

""It was the same with me. One of the reasons I... got out of it."

She gives a small giggle when Georgia asked if Suzie would be okay.

"Don't worry hon, she's a big girl." she says with a smile, almost like she was implying Georgia was not

[Harri-chan]

While she was again aware that Amanda would never intentionally try and make her feel bad, that barely cushioned the embarrassment of the woman's implication. She could tell Amanda didn't see her as the same Georgia she'd always known, but a different, younger Georgia, that was less capable of looking after herself than fifteen year old Suzie. She blushed, the woman's giggle ringing in her ears as she wondered if Georgia Hepkins, Amanda's young neice was becoming less of a carefully planned character for Amanda, and more of a real person.

"I think I left my phone in my old clothes back in the car...", she says as out of habit she reached for her pocket, and then her purse, before realising she had neither. She didn't elaborate any further on what exactly she wanted to check her phone for, but Amanda would be quite aware of how few friends Georgia actually had. She was still getting used to being in such clothing, which probably showed from how much she kept adjusting it around her, and shifting her position in her seat.

[Blaze]

"Hmmm? Don't worry about it, we'll get you a better one." Amanda says as Suzie returns, carrying a blue plastic tray. On it are two plates and a bowl, the plates carrying rice and naan bread, the bowl containing hunks of chicken in a red gravy. She sets the tray on the table and tucks in!

""Right, let's go Georgia."Amanda says, standing up and offering her hand to the girl
