Xander stared down at the gun as he moved toward the till, feeling rather foolish. Going as a soldier felt like a cop out. The only reason that he was doing so was his current money situation, with the fatigues he had at home it was the best he could do, and still have a recognised "costume". Just as Ethan was about to ring it up though, he saw something else. Still less than two dollars, and more recognisable as a "real" character, and it appealed to his innate self-geek. Xander smiled.
