[So, there is a young woman--not that you can tell--wandering around outside, dressed in.... this. And yes, there are two things we are absolutely not sure of: one, why she's wearing it and going out publicly in it, and two: where she even got it from in the first place. It's probably better not to ask either of those questions if you're expecting

[Guy manning lingerie booth just staring... with a rather bland expression. At this point Soushi has gotten rather desensitized to all the strange things happening lately. Heck, everything almost seems... normal now.]

[packedapunch]

[Oh hai there, Soushi! Tifa would probably take more notice of the lingerie booth if... she could actually see properly through the dolphin head right now. As it stands, she's just going to wave kind of awkwardly. She's still not very good at the whole mascot thing, yet. But practice makes perfect, right~?]

Um... Hello, sir! Nice day... isn't it?

[koko_ni_iru]

[A dolphin. Kinda reminds the island-born, island-raised guy of the sea. Which he misses. So just gonna sound a lil' bit wistful as he answers you.] It is.

...What are you doing?

[packedapunch]

[Tifa notices the wistfulness, a little confused. Considering her reasoning for picking a dolphin had been Mr Bubbles and one of her perfected Limit Breaks.]

Oh, well- I'm, um, I'm the Luceti mascot! There's enough people here now for us to need one!

[koko_ni_iru]

Huh. [Looks the supposedly-mascot over again] ...Why a dolphin though? This place doesn't have a sea... [Yep, definite 'I miss it' tone there.]

[packedapunch]

Well, no, but... everybody likes dolphins, right? [Really, trying to explain the actual reasoning would be pointless.] You do, don't you? You sound like you miss them.

[koko_ni_iru]

Not really. [Pause.] [Quietly.] What I miss is the sea.

[packedapunch]

Oh. [Tifa deliberates a little. It's probably weird to see a giant dolphin deliberate.] I guess it's easy to miss something like that, especially here... [She peers at the booth he's sitting behind, finally working out what it is.] I'm also guessing you didn't sell lingerie where you're from, either.

[koko_ni_iru]

[In Luceti, especially these few days, weird had become the new normal.] No, I don't. [For crying out loud, the guy wasn't even legal yet.]

[packedapunch]

So then what's your reason for the career change? I thought this might be fun. [She gestures at herself.] It's pretty warm, too.

[koko_ni_iru]

I... don't really know. I think it was something about doing something... irrational for once...

[packedapunch]

Irrational? How come?

[koko_ni_iru]

...I guess that normally I'm not this... impulsive...?

[packedapunch]

Impulse is good sometimes-- do you like selling lingerie?

[koko_ni_iru]

...At this point? I'm not sure what I'm thinking.

[He might have, but after being confronted by so many angry members of the fairer sex...

Notice the bruise on his left cheek?]

[packedapunch]

I guess you could always try something else. Something that ends with less... bruising.
