Tsumugi tied her hair up, humming softly as she tied her shoes and washed her face. Even though he daddy wasn't here, Tsumugi knew she had to keep clean and still behave. "Wash, wash, wash, wash!" She grinned in the mirror, laughing before jumping out and down the hallway.

"I'm off!" She called from the door, wondering if there was anyone around to hear. After a minute she nodded to herself and turned the door knob. She had an important mission! The room was nice and every one was too but Tsumugi was getting...well, a little bored. Her friends weren't here to play with and Kotori-chan wasn't there to teach her to cook.

But this was a city! Almost like her city...but this one was new. Tsumugi had no idea of the streets or where she could go. But that's why she was going to find out.

"Crayons~! Clay~! Crayons~! Clay~!" She sang happily, walking very carefully along the sidewalks. She couldn't step on anything that wasn't sidewalk and she knew she could only walk on the walk lines on the corners of the streets. Not the ones in the middle of it. "Crayons and clay! Tsumugi-cahn is looking for! Crayons~! Clay~!" Ah...now there was a problem.

"Where are crayons and clay at?"

And by stark contrast? "Ugh, the sun," Louise muttered. "Another day in paradise." She got up, her hat firmly on her head, and ambled to the bathroom, washing up as lazily as possible and bemoaning her fate all the way through. When she was out, she made herself some coffee (sweet as all heck because she WAS still a kid) and was shambling about when she saw Tsumugi headed out-by herself. "Aw, sonofabitch! I can't just let her go by herself!" _ And that was how Tsumugi managed to get Louise out of the house. "Hey, hey! Look, there are shops, people aren't just going to have crayons and clay unless their art students or graffiti artists ok? We can go buy some."

[magigirlricefan]

Tsumugi giggled, "No! They're at the mall...or the grocery store." She tapped her foot, thinking obviously very hard, "What's a grafitti artist?"

Oh! Buy...she panicked a little, checking her pockets and bag. With a relieved sigh she held up the little bundle of money. "Okay, we can buy something! But...crayons first. Then we can draw! And make the house pretty."

[geez_louise]

"Yeah, I haven't see one of those here yet. Gotta make sure they exist first."

This place was new and weird after all, who knew what they had?

"Person that makes a living off of making word art, usually doesn't make a ton of money though, not unless their name is Banksy, which, if that had to be my name, really wouldn't be worth it."

She nodded, patting her money bag. "Man, it pays to be a kid around here. OK, sure, we get some crayons and...wait, what do you mean make the house pretty?

[magigirlricefan]

"Would the map say that?" She hadn't quite gotten to that in school yet. That's what first graders learned, unless they took the trains. Tsumugi listens completely to Louise, nodding in agreement. Not that she understood completely but, Louise was older so obviously knew more.

"Banksy is a bad name."

Another giggle and she took Louise hand to start in some direction. "Hang them up! My daddy did that with mine and I even got to draw a menu and hang it up at a restaurant!!!"

[geez_louise]

"Probably. I should also try to read the map too though. I mean, normally I couldn't be bothered, but I'm guessing getting to where we're going will be tough." Especially since they had never been to this world before. "Not as bad as him, but that's a story for another time. Also, you're lucky. Your dad probably knows how to bring some ambiance to his restaurant. My dad can't seem to lose his whole vibe of 'hole in the ground' yet."

[magigirlricefan]

"You know how?" Because it wasn't a question if she did, obviously being older Louise could do anything. "We can do it! Just stay on the sidewalk, look left and right and left before you do to another sidewalk and listen to the lights." That was verbatim, her father had her repeat it anytime they went out. Also to never step off of white lines but there didn't seem to be any of those here.

"Hehe, my daddy doesn't own the restaurant. My friend does! But she let's play there and we make all kinds of things! Uhm...what's ambiance?"

[geez_louise]

"Yeah, everybody knows...I mean, sure, ok. We'll do that." Ugh. Kids. They shouldn't be this...innocent. It made her feel like she had a black soul or something. Tainted. Actually, she kind of like that. Tainted Louise. She should trademark that later. "Ambiance is the way a place looks, and the kind of mood it puts you in. It makes you decide if you want to stay there or not, you know?"
