[The number 3.14 has been driving Dawn crazy today. So instead of stay at work where nothing added up to 3.14 she decided to do one of her favorite things and go shopping. And when nothing added up to 3.14 there, she decided to split the three from the fourteen and go from there.

After a full day of shopping, Dawn is currently standing in front of the make-up counter at the store looking a little bit perplexed, maybe kind of stressed out. Shopping is usually something that's calming, like a creature comfort, and it has been for most of the day... until now. Her voice sounds over the network.]

So, so far today I've bought myself three new pairs of shoes, three new tops, three new jeans slash trousers and three new pajama pants slash shorts. That's twelve things and now I'm stuck because for some reason I only want to go to fourteen items but that messes with my whole buying three of everything. Another three and it'll be fifteen.

I mean what's a girl supposed to do? Do I leave the whole three thing I have going on and go with fourteen or do I stick with three and make it fifteen? Stupid decisions. It's like there's a chocolate and vanilla cake sitting in front of you but you can't have both. You can only have one. How do you choose? I mean... chocolate and vanilla... right there!

Totally not cool, math... totally not cool.

So, buy fifteen items, so you keep the three thing, and have a chocolate and vanilla cake, because you can.

But then the number fourteen goes out the window which is totally purpose defeat-y of the whole three point fourteen thing going on in my head. By the way, I'm ignoring the point cause it just over complicates things. Three and fourteen, so much easier... in theory.

[skintoskin]

Ohhhh-kay... [...crazy lady...] So go with buying fourteen things and having three pieces of cake. Easy.

[ voice ]

[haring_to_go]

Have you considered purchasing fourteen sets of three? It seems to work well with your scheme.

... perhaps buy something small. [ because that's a lot for one young lady to carry. ]

[ voice ]

[the_dawnster]

Ohmigosh you are officially the most genius-like person I've ever met. I mean I've known some smarty-pants types here and there but you just topped them all. I'm so reorganizing and doing it your way.

[ voice ]

[haring_to_go]

[ he blushes at all the praise. He's not used to it! But he recovers with only the slightest hint of fluster in his voice. ] Do you need some assistance in carrying all of your purchases? That's bound to become a burden before you hit the fourteenth set.

I miss math? But this is ridiculous.

[the_dawnster]

The math I remember was so much less annoying than this. Is it just me or are all math teachers ever really boring? I never had a find the fun kind of math teacher. Maybe all the boring ones just found their way to Sunnydale. Which... kind of ironic since Sunnyhell was never really all that boring.

[terrestrial]

I had an interesting one, if that counts.

[ in the form of an undercover FBI agent placed at her high school to keep an eye on max, isabel, and michael. liz and alex had exposed her and now she was... dead, probably. at agent pierce's hands. who she'd mistake your world's darla for, should she ever make an appearance in the city. ]

[ironmanic]

Who says you can't have both?

[the_dawnster]

Both slices of cake? Cause it was more of an imaginary cake in my mind. Cake analogies are the best kind of analogies cause of the whole imaginary yum factor.

[ironmanic]

Yes, but I still think you should get both slices.

[redlikecrimson]

I think you're cursed, Dawn.

[the_dawnster]

Cursed to shop? Cause that would be more with the awesome and less with the frustrating.

[redlikecrimson]

Cursed by the number 3.14 actually.

voice;

[minigolfandsushi]

....there is something deeply wrong with you.


[ooc: he is chilling in the basement if you want to go turn it to action at any point]

voice;

[the_dawnster]

If enjoying looking cute and pretty is something deeply wrong, then guilty as charged. Cause that's the whole point of shopping, getting cute and pretty things.

voice;

[minigolfandsushi]

That? No, nothing wrong with that. Though I'm more of a late-night Ebay bidder myself. I'm talking about the fucking three and fourteen vanilla chocolate cake bullshit. This may be a dystopian hellscape, but nobody's told you you can only eat one cake.

[dudeimbatman]

[Dean is chuckling a little at you, Dawn.]

Go with the pie. It's the right day for it anyway.

Voice

[the_dawnster]

But I'm craving cake. I mean I like pie just as much as the next person but when you're having a cake crave-y kind of day, pie just doesn't hit the spot.

Voice

[dudeimbatman]

[His tone of voice says that he's not sure there is such a thing as pie not hitting the spot.] You feeling okay, Squirt?

[iwasherefirst]

Ought to go 'head and make it fifteen if you ask me. Can't do too much shoppin', yeah?

[the_dawnster]

See, I keep trying to go to fifteen but it's just... it has to be fourteen today. I don't know why. Stupid City and stupid numbers. [Yes, this is her pouty voice.]

[whattingawhat]

Start over but this time do the buying for your sister?

[the_dawnster]

Don't worry, I got you some nice sparkly lip gloss. Better than whatever that shade is you've been wearing lately. What is that color called? Peach Fuzz?
