[It was just an ordinary lazy day for Anastasia when she finally shows her face on the network. Well, she has her reasons for wanting...or rather, needing to stay indoors.

Though it looks like she just finished her daily chores. She looks almost ready for a nap.]

So... I have, probably, a strange question... Has anyone ever gotten this really strong desire for something...? Like, wanting to eat something you don't usually eat?

I really want some tomato soup and a certain kind of bread to go with it. I can't remember the kind of bread... I want to go shopping for some, but I don't know if it's safe for me with that gang war going on, as said in the newspaper...

But, I digress... Has anyone ever had cravings like that?

I think that's pretty normal, like I always get the urge to eat pudding.

Re: video

[innocent_royal]

Pudding is pretty good, too.
Maybe I'll pick up a pudding cup the next time I run errands.

[nepu]

You should, putting is always good!

You could also get friends to go with you shopping? Or hire a bodyguard? The question itself isn't strange, but likely related to homesickness and a need for comfort. Things we don't usually have, but remember well being connected to certain memories and feelings and associations, we want. Especially in times when we can't have them as easily.

I think I understand. I like how tomato soup is warming... I don't think it's homesickness, though.

[Since she never had it before until a few months ago.]

I can't hire a bodyguard. My allowances can't cover it... And I feel like it would be rude to bother someone over tomato soup... But I think I have one friend who may be willing to help.

[Coincidentally, it's who introduced her to tomato soup in the first place.]

Going in a group is still safer than alone then.

[There's a pause, and a small smile. One hand reaching up to rub at his neck in slight embarrassment.]

I also know we just met, but I'm new and still learning my way around. I'm willing to 'play bodyguard' if you want, in exchange for finding new shopping and food areas. No monetary exchange needed.

Re: [Video]

[innocent_royal]

[And there it is. Anastasia always wants to be helpful. What kind of Princess would she be if she didn't try every once in awhile?]

Are you certain? I wouldn't want to be a bother. I mean, I would happily help you, but help me over tomato soup?

[The question is he certain?]

Re: [Video]

[light_of_willpower]

If we're both going shopping, then it's not a bother is it?

[Still a bit sheepish, but that smile is bigger now, and entirely genuine. Yes, he is this kind of nice guy.]

Like I said, I'm learning my way around still, and sort of getting my bearings. I've been here a little over 2 weeks? 3 weeks maybe? My name is Trunks.

Re: [Video]

[innocent_royal]

[Can't argue with that logic.]

It's a deal then~
It's nice to meet you, Mister Trunks. My name is Anastasia. When is a good time for you?

Re: [Video]

[light_of_willpower]

No "mister" needed, it's nice to meet you Ms. Anastasia. I'm flexible on timing, but tend to be an early riser. Would meeting out Aster Technologies work for you?

[It's a public location, and this is all over a public channel, which should help alleviate any concerns.]

If you have a place to meet you'd prefer, I'll find it.

Re: [Video]

[innocent_royal]

[She thinks about it for a moment.]

I think Aster is near my usual route, so it will do. Did you mean for today, or tomorrow?

Re: [Video] (I am open to threading out, and yay CR)

[light_of_willpower]

Whichever works. Like I said, I'm flexible with timing really.

[Video] > [Action?]

[innocent_royal]

((ooc: One does not simply thread out to Mordor. Aka, let's do this!))

I still have time today, so I'll be right over.

[The sooner she gets this done, the sooner she can eat that bread with tomato soup. ... And avoid that gang war.

Anastasia only needed a moment to get what she needs, a change of clothes and her pokemon, and she was well on her way to Aster Technologies.]

[light_of_willpower]

((OOC: Sweet.))

Okay. I'll meet you there. I'm not hard to miss, as I don't think blue hair is that common even here.

[There's a nod and half-bow, and then he's cutting the feed to head to Aster Techologies himself.

Keeping his phone handy, it doesn't take him long. He also is pretty obvious, given his pale blue hair. Average height, slender, in a long sleeved green sweater, with drab green combat pants, and black and gold boots. Looking around alertly as well.]

[scarlet_devil]

I could escort you, Anastasia. Are you feeling alright?

Re: [Video]

[innocent_royal]

I'm fine!
Maybe a little hungry.

[This is good timing, because she realized a few minutes ago that her bun-bun's food is running low.]

Are you sure you don't mind, Remilia? You live a long way away, don't you?

Re: [Video]

[scarlet_devil]

It won't take me too long to get over to you.

[ Remilia felt a bond with the girl, so she didn't need much convincing to help. ]

Re: [Video]

[innocent_royal]

Only if you are certain, I'll welcome it. I realized there was something else I needed to get anyway...

I should be ready to go when you arrive.

[Anastasia feels the same. What else could come from two aristocratic ladies? She sees Remilia as someone she might be able to learn from.]

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

[ Perhaps. It's Remilia, after all. And guess who shows up in due time, landing beside Anastasia? ]

Good day.

Re: [Action]

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia only just stepped outside the apartments when Remilia swooped down. It did startle her as evident by how she jumped.]

That was fast... How are you today, Remilia?

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

I'm feeling fine.

[ And as quick on her wings as ever. ]

Re: [Action]

[innocent_royal]

Are you ready to go?

Honestly, I'm still scared of that gang thing talked about in the newspaper. We'll be fine, won't we?

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

I am indeed...

[ She gives Ana a confident smile. ] They won't try messing with a deputy guardian. We'll be fine.

Re: [Action]

[innocent_royal]

Okay. Let's be off.

[Anastasia was still going to be nervous as they ride Nova's moving sidewalks to the destination. Dressed in a very non-Nova fashion, a simple frilly collared dress, she stands out.

All she can do is just let her eyes wnder, watching out for anyone who looks like trouble.]

L-Let's stop by the pet store first, okay?

Re: [Action]

[scarlet_devil]

[ Remilia herself would hear them long before any of these guys show up. ]

Hmm, lead the way...
