05: Explorations (Open Action, Genessia City)

[enchantressofore]

Who: Adela (enchantressofore) & OPEN
Where: Genessia City, Various Locations
When: May 2nd, All Day
Notes: Less getting lost, more SHOPPING! Clothes shopping specifically, though she can be found in other places.
Warnings: Depends on what clothes she ends up finding.

A. Clothing Stores

[ Seeing some of this fashion really makes Adela think that she's in far over her head.

It isn't the price tags that are shocking her, not really, but... More of just how much skin everything shows. She'd been doing this with the intent of maybe trying to fit in somewhere that wasn't Fayren all of the time, but seeing some of the selection is a bit too much for her. Red-faced, the small teen finally ends up giving up on this store and makes to essentially flee the scene...

Unfortunately, with her eyes on the ground in front of her, she doesn't see who she bumps into rather suddenly and she back-pedals with a grunt. ]

I-I am sorry... [ Why is this happening. She's too nervous to really care whose fault it is or who bumped into who, just as long as she can get out without getting completely overwhelmed. ]

B. Cat's Eye Café

[ This place seems so nice... And it smells pleasant, too.

Adela finds herself seated at a small table by the window, and the experience isn't like any she's had before even on entering the café. She can't help a soft and almost gentle expression pulling at her expression as she just takes everything in, reading over the menu. It feels like she's spoilt for choice, unsure of just what she should pick and having to take quite a long time with it. A part of her is feeling adventurous, but what to pick?

Her attention shifts when she notices someone approaching, though if they're a server or not... Well, that remains to be said. ]

C. Park

[ Whether she's empty-handed or has her plunder for the day, the park is a place Adela will visit without fail. Even if Fayren has the ocean, something about the park and the pond there is just soothing to her. She can be found sitting near the shore, skipping any suitable pebbles she can find along the water or otherwise just watching the other passers-by. It's a reminder that even in this strange world, there are things she can appreciate about it.

Now, if only it wasn't tempting to nap by the shore. She seems to be nodding off every so often, as if being in the warm spring sun and the fatigue of the day are tempting her to sleep right then and there. ]

B. Cat's Eye Café

[spitfireprincess]

Hello. I'm Sakura.

[Sakura tries her best to continue to smile but the effort is difficult.]

How can I help you?

B. Cat's Eye Café

[enchantressofore]

Ah... My name is Adela.

I suppose I would like to try some tea, first... Whatever you would recommend. I am afraid I have no heard of much of this before, Miss Sakura.

B. Cat's Eye Café

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura just smiles.]

Tea and... would you like to try some cake? I just made an almond one with chocolate icing. It's really good.

Promise.

B. Cat's Eye Café

[enchantressofore]

I suppose so?

[ She's unsure, but she might at least try something new there. ]

B. Cat's Eye Café

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura nods her head.]

I'll be right back.

[She begins to steep a nice light tea and then serves up a piece of cake. With the cake set and decorated she places it on a try and then follows it with the cup of tea. She carefully then brings it to the table.]

I'd like to know what you think, if that's alright.

C. Park

[icyheart]

[Ugh, Icy didn't like the park, but she had to walk through it in order to get somewhere, so along the way it might be getting a little closer than Spring should be as well as snow.]

C. Park

[enchantressofore]

[ . . .

Why is it suddenly kind of cold?

She blinks awake at that, turning to try and find the source. All she sees is a woman walking through though, and... What is that white stuff trailing behind her?

Adela just can't help staring, watching in fascination and bewilderment. Just what in the world is going on? ]

[[ OoC: Please let me know if I ended up misinterpreting this? I had a little bit of a tough time figuring out just what was going on there. ]]

C. Park

[icyheart]

[OOC: No that was about right.]

[Icy soon stopped in front of some flowers, holding out her hand and simply freezing them in place. Another nice thing gone for the better.]

So many cute things to destroy, so little time.

C. Park

[enchantressofore]

Why do that?

[ Perhaps she shouldn't have asked, but curiosity got the better of the red-headed teen as she waited for Icy to answer, if she cared enough to anyway. ]

A. REVOCS, Nova City.

[weavemyownfate]

[Speaking of the unexpected, Adela was probably not expecting Satsuki to be in an establishment like this. Really? Her working a clothing store? Then again, with all these vibrant, fancy, and clearly not inexpensive designs, perhaps it isn't so surprising.

Regardless, Satsuki is the one bumped into, and not adorn in her usual uniform-ish attire but rather a white and black dress and matching shoes. She's practically sparkling despite what little jewelry she wears, necklace and a bracelet.

She should be annoyed by such a careless bump, and while her expression gives off its usual negative impression, she's actually somewhat pleased to see the redhead again.]

.. Adela. Welcome to REVOCS.

A. REVOCS, Nova City.

[enchantressofore]

... Hello. Miss Satsuki, 'tis good to see you again.

[ Unfortunately, any attempt to regain any semblance of dignity has likely failed as she's still beet red and unable to fully calm herself. She probably looks a lot more lively than she did in hospital at least.

... She might have stared for a little too long as well. Satsuki does look absolutely beautiful after all, and it's quite different from how she was last time. ]

I... Are you here to shop for clothes as well, then?

[weavemyownfate]

And you are looking as lively as ever. At ease; I have no intention of scolding you today.

[A slight smile creeps upon her features, though slips to a look of confusion at the question. Well, it isn't like she's wearing a nametag so it can't be helped.]

Not exactly. I am the manager here.

[enchantressofore]

I-I see! I had not known you worked in this store.

[ She never asked. She's still nervous, though it doesn't seem like the aspect of being scolded is what's bothering her. ]

I should not keep you any longer if that is the case, I am certain you must be quite busy...

A

[ringed_fate]

[He says sorry at almost the same moment that she does. Yes, he was apologizing for getting bumped into. Not that he really noticed. He was so absorbed in studying the outfits. It was a good idea to figure out what kind of fashion people wore here and it would give him ideas for what to carved onto his figurines. Which would explain why he's even in this section of the store.]

Oh. Adela, it's you. [He smiles once he recognizes her.]

A - Let's assume they exchanged names at some point xD

[enchantressofore]

Ah... Ryo, is it?

[ Well that's surprising. She nods to him on recognizing him, though unfortunately it doesn't help her relax at all. She'll be able to relax once she's out of the store, or at least that's what she's telling herself. ]

Ah... I... 'tis good to see you.

Re: A - He might have asked who the girl with two different colored eyes was too >_>

[ringed_fate]

[Most people know him as Bakura. But, he doesn't mind if someone calls him Ryou. That kind of familiarity hasn't been shown to him since he lived with a full family unit.]

That's right. Are you looking for something?

[A dumb question. But he's still not great at conversation. Especially not with girls. But she treats him like everyone else, so for some reason, it's easier to relax a bit with her.]

A - Whatever works point is they know names now

[enchantressofore]

Well, I... I was looking for clothes I could wear. For when I was not working.

[ She's still not happy with what she's found so far either, because maybe others are comfortable wearing such things but... Well, she's not. ]

SHOPPING - Continued from Yang and Angelo

[enchantressofore]

[[ OoC: Continued from here. ]]

[ Adela just watches as Angelo leaves, taking a couple of breaths before sighing and relaxing a little. She felt at least a little better now, like she has some personal space back before turning to Yang once more. ]

I should thank you once more, for stepping in... I had intended to find another store, as I could not find anything I could stand to wear in here.

Re: SHOPPING - Continued from Yang and Angelo

[beauty_burns_gold]

It's alright. I really just hate guys like that. They always think us girls are so easy to get into bed.

[Tilting her head, the blonde looks around the shop curiously.]

Anything you could stand to wear? Do you have a fabric allergy? Most of the stuff here is pretty cute.

[Then again this is coming from a girl who's not afraid to show a little skin.]

[enchantressofore]

No, nothing like that.

[ She rubs her arm then, looking at the clothing racks again as she tries to think of how to word it. ]

... It is fashion I am not used to, simply put. It feels strange to see so much clothing being so... Well... Revealing?

[beauty_burns_gold]

Ah...well, if it helps, you could always go with something simple and work your way up. I mean, wearing pants and a blouse are still a thing to do so you don't have to worry about showing skin.

[Indeed Yang's walking over to a small section of pants in various colors and sizes to show off what she means.]

Nothing wrong with showing some skin though. If you've got the figure and you've got the looks, why not flaunt it?

B

[fallsuccession]

[Indeed a waitress is on her way over with a bright smile. Hello fellow red head.]

Hello. Welcome to Cat's Eye Cafe. My name is Pyrrha. What can I start you with?

B

[enchantressofore]

[ Hello, fellow red head! Fellow... Very very tall red head oh Nehra how. Still, it doesn't seem like it bothers Adela and she tries to wear a pleasant smile, even if she's still a little overwhelmed by the menu. ]

Uhm... Some tea, perhaps? What would you recommend, miss?

A

[respect_points]

Woah! It's okay.

[She doesn't mind, but talking about too much skin... Look at how this girl is dressed.]

A

[enchantressofore]

[ Well, good thing Adela doesn't really judge others on how they dress, even if the amount of skin embarrasses her. She doesn't meet Rikku's eye, still red-faced as she shakes her head and tries to move around and just leave again. ]
