Chapter 600 - In The Face of Magic, What husband?
(-_-*)
Oden, Mona and William"s uncles.... all looked at them helplessly before finally sighing.
Well, it really seemed like there was no helping it.
So why not dive in too?
With that, they wore their helmets and followed Micheal"s lead.
At first, they decided to take things easy.
But who knew that these shameless Baymardians wouldn"t appreciate any of their goodwill?
Just when Oden had successfully grabbed a cart, someone slid underneath his legs and quickly proved the cart away from his hands.
"Sorry bro... Finders keepers!"
(:-_-)
Of course Mona, Murel and Powin weren"t having it easy either.
These people were really something else.
But if it was a battle that these people wanted, then they had no choice but to quickly change their att.i.tudes and battle it out.
Each of them wanted these Tv thingies in their rooms... So they had no choice but to fight for their own sets.
And so, they joined Micheal, Jasmine and William in the Tv saga of madness.
"Plop!"
"Chraaaaa!"
"Ping!!!!"
"That"s my cart!"
"Hmph!
Back off blondie!
I don"t see your name written on it, so how can it be yours?"
"Step aside slowpoke!
You"re in my way!"
"Hey!
I was standing here first, so no cutting the line!"
"Hmph!
That"s mine!"
"Oh yeah?
Well too bad!
It"s mine now, so shoo!
Get lost!"
"Move away from the cart now!
I have a shoe, and I"m not afraid to use it."

It took a little over an hour for Micheal, Oden and their families to fight for their carts, get in line and finally collect their Tvs and ca.s.sette players.
Of course, they decided to get the coloured electric Tv each.
There were 4 types of Tvs.....that depended on whether they ran on solar power or electricity, or whether they allowed customers to view images coloured or in black & white.
For sure without a doubt, Micheal, Oden and their crew chose the coloured electric ones instead....since they wanted that thing called "cable" too.
Only the electric plug-in ones would allow them to connect with cable.
As for the solar one, they had decided to but it when they finally left Baymard.
They would use it to watch all recorded ca.s.sette movies and tv shows while they were away.
Anyway..... there were different Tv sizes, like the 60-inch Tv and even the 80-inch ones.
Of course the bigger it was, the more costly it was.
Nonetheless, they all bought standard sizes for their bedrooms and larger ones for their sitting room.
With that, they then lazily strolled around the other part of the store that sold the ca.s.settes there.
There were posters of all Tv series and movies there... As well as ca.s.settes that even had recorded theatre performances that they missed out some time back too.
In short, there were ca.s.settes on many other things too.
For example..... there was a ca.s.sette that focused on Baymard"s touristic side, as it fully toured Baymard and gave a deeper understanding of what places what be fun to visit.
There was also a ca.s.sette t.i.tles national geographic Channel, season 1: Mammal edition.
And there were also kid ca.s.settes like Barnie and Sesame Street there too.
In short, there was something for everyone here.
Not to mention all the movies and Tv shows that we"re available now.
Of course when they read the brief storyline at the back of each ca.s.sette cover, they immediately felt excited.
Their hearts pounded loudly and their minds went to work in envisioning how some of the scenes would take place.
F***!
There was no other way, they had to buy everything!
They just couldn"t let any of them go.
Murel had a 3-year-old daughter... So wouldn"t buying Barnie work for her?
And even something like the Baymardian Bible: The book of Genesis... Was also very intriguing as well.
It roughly spoke about what the ancestors thousands and hundreds of years ago had experienced.
Of course it didn"t talk about the story of Adam and Eve, as that was Christianity back on earth.
Rather, it some about this world"s own biblical stories instead.
.
With the said, each family took a copy of each show and hurriedly went ahead to line up for payment.
There were a total of 12 cas.h.i.+ers upfront, but even so... The line still moved relatively slowly, due to the ma.s.sive population in the store.
It took an additional 15 minutes just for them to finally pay for their goods.
"Esteemed guests... Before paying your total, would you all like to pay and register for cable installation in your homes?"
"Of course!"
Hearing the staff talk about that cable thingy, their eyes immediately opened wide and they couldn"t help but nod vigorously while smiling and replying excitedly.
Hahahhahaha!
With cable, wouldn"t they be able to watch the news and other major shows that weren"t even on ca.s.sette yet?
They happily registered and paid for everything, before finally heading home to watch the first movie or Tv show together.
Yup!
Micheal and Oden had decided that both of their families should watch it together.
Of course after figuring out how to install the Tv and ca.s.sette player, they quickly made popcorn and other snacks for the show.
And what were they watching?
Well... They had decided to binge at least 10 episodes of Game of Thrones first.
"Dunn...dudududun....dudududun....dudududun..."
The moment the famous game of thrones opening themes song came... Everyone"s heart itched excitedly when they also saw several swords and images of territories pa.s.s by.
"It"s actually moving and singing at the same time!" Powin exclaimed excitedly.
"Shhh!!!!" Everyone hushed.
At this point, everyone was really anxious and couldn"t wait for the show to begin.
They hushed him with their mouths full of popcorn in antic.i.p.ation.
Heck!
Even Powin"s docile wife had also hushed him sternly.
(*^*)
She was so engrossed that she didn"t even care whether Powin was offended or not.
The Tv before her was like Magic...so how could she bother with Powin now?
"Shhhhhh!!!!"
