Mallard's Ice Cream Range and Cafe in the space year of of 2006
---------------
It was cheesy but that was the point. Blue counters and floors in an easy to clean plastic that couldn't help but seem cheap. The walls were painted and in parts covered with green wooded foliage and ducks either in flight or standing flocked across every surface with remarkable attention to their anatomically accurate plumage, it had been like this since her parents childhood and not that much had changed. The owner repainted every few years but the effect was the same. Down by the Mt Hope Bay at the very edge of the Atlantic it was a cool summer day, yet not so cool that a tall ice-cream Sunday did not go amiss. Cordelia poked at it somewhat absentmindedly it was a lazy day more than anything which to her, felt rather uneasy. There was nothing wrong with it but she was wired to always be doing something, even when on a break. The entire point of being here during the hottest part of the day was to be doing nothing at all. A shout rang out from the far end where the old but very much still working mechanical duck and BB range was, there were a lot of people here, most younger than her own seventeen years. It did not include her companion however, three months her senior and ranking in at a distinct middling on the scale of friends she was close to.
Zelda McIver was taller than she but still not tall with the frame fitting a player in the local Ice Hockey team, the Providence Buccaneers. For now of course the youth team didn't count quite yet, as Zelda told it though it was a sure thing. Blonde hair that would rival the wildness of Cordelia's own if she let it down snaked around loosely around a strong jawed face with a somewhat Nordic complexion. Compared to the tan capri pants and deep red polo-shirt that she was wearing, Zelda stood out. A neon green pleated skirt and a acid yellow tie-dye t-shirt with the left sleeve long and the right hacked off at the shoulder. Numerous bands, ribbons and bangles adorned her wrists, they certainly made an odd pair, yet not really any odder than anyone else here. There general air of hubbub was relaxing, it was easier to disappear into this crowd than the others they had seen all day. Shopping was hardly her forte partly because of the limited funds she had, partly because she mostly wore the same type of clothes all the time, to top it all, it normally felt like a chore. That was why there was just a measly one bag under her side of the table compared to her opposite number.
Finally digging her long spoon in Cordelia spoke up, "So this Kingdom Hearts game, its a Disney thing?" Zelda had mentioned it in passing a little while ago and really Cordelia knew nothing at all about it. She didn't have a brother or that many friends that played games, so it was something sort of alien. Still she did tend to like Disney movies so she could at least comment on it, whatever it was.
