Attention Walmart Shoppers

The WAL-MART meme




Open 24-hours, in large cities Wal-Mart is a place people show up to shop mindlessly for anything they need. In small towns, it may be literally the only business open after 10pm, making it an unlikely hang-out for locals.

Regardless of where it's located, Wal-Mart always seems to have the strange effect of making time crawl, as the aisles stretch on into infinity, and the tinny in-store music plays on a loop.


RULES:

Post to the meme.
Shop. Anything can be found at Wal-Mart, and in a meme, perhaps that's truer than ever
Get lost in the endless aisles.
Get found in the cafe.
Find a friend. Find an enemy. Find an employee
Have fun.

[possibly a k-pop queen shopping and looking around at everything to see here, while HUNTR/X is on their world tour... Or could be something else too.

OTA gen, anything more serious 20+ OTA. Castmates (especially JINUS and her girls), crosscanon, crossmedium, assumed CR, AUs, OCs etc all always welcome!]

[ it's late or early -- that thin, blurry stretch of time that feels too late for the night owls and yet too early for the morning crowd -- and she's in the self-checkout line with a forty-pound bag of cat litter balanced against her hip and a case of wet food on the ground in front of her that she nudges forward in the line in front of her with her boot. her expression says she's running on fumes and spite and she absolutely will fight a barcode scanner if it tries to give her any trouble. ]

[The next time she's about to move forward, the case is hefted up by a gloved hand before Selina can shove it. Nathan tucks it under his arm, tilting his head at her in greeting.]

Quicker this way.

[He has a case of the cheapest beer in the store tucked under his other arm, and several pints of ice cream balanced atop it and looks about as weary as she, between the several days' worth of stubble and the bags under his eyes. But he still manages a hint of a smile as he goes on.]

I can carry it out for you too, if that doesn't make me sound too much like a predator.

[Her cart is full of odds and ends. A bottle of wine, frozen pizza, pack of oreos, condoms and some hello kitty face masks. It's two a.m. and she's currently looking at the impulse buys debating on buying a tabloid.]

[So alas for him, Walmart no longer sells guns, but they do still sell ammunition in certain stores. It's the wee small hours of the morning. Dex has got a cart with a number of boxes full of ammo, plus an alarming number of knives. Other things in there include canned food, a space heater, a multipack of toothbrushes, and toothpaste.]

[ Voice testing like whoa, please gawk at her cart that is chock full of items she doesn't need. Lots of wine, clothing, jewelry, beauty supplies and a teetering pile of packaged meat that appears to have been opened. If she happens to get caught licking the blood off the tip of a finger? Well, it is Walmart. She'll probably wink or show off her pretty fangs. ]

[ It's 2 AM. On the conveyor belt: a cat carrier, litter, litterbox, a selection of four (4) flavors of Fancy Feast in tins, 2 cat toys, small pink collar with little rhinestones on it. Dawn dishwasher detergent, the one with the picture of the freshly cleaned duck that had all the oil removed with Dawn on it.

The man: an airline pilot, still uniformed, with a very dirty orange tabby kitten awkwardly held to his chest (it's 2 AM at a 24-hour Walmart in Kentucky, like anyone gives a shit) and continuously trying to climb out of his arms, probably in no small part because he obviously doesn't know how to hold a cat in a way that makes it feel secure.

And then someone's behind him, and like, shit, they'll probably never see each other again, but also, this doesn't look good, so he feels the compulsive need to break that code of silence that governs strangers' interactions in 24-hour Walmarts to turn around and clarify, ]


I'm not, like— I didn't do this to it, I found it this way. Like in the hotel parking lot. Shelter's closed for the night.
