Alice

and I are heading out on the town. I'm not supposed to go, but I'll be damned if I let her go shopping for swimwear without me. Oh, and she wants to get her ears pierced. That should be good.

Y'see, I know all the seedy parts of the town pretty well, the sections nice girls don't go to. Not on purpose.

So I'm going to take her to a piercing place with all the frills, y'know? Like a place that does tattoos and caters mostly to sailors.

It will impress.
