[Today is your lucky day, Luceti. A certain pink-haired marine has stationed himself on the edge of the fountain in the town square. He's wearing a pair of headphones and dancing like a trained monkey ever so slightly to the music - never mind that he's not even sure what type of music it is. It has a nice beat to it

Is it October already, then?

[risingspirit]

I think so? That's what they call this part of the year here.

[flicker_flash]

Oh, well. I shall have to go shopping. [And she peers at the journal shiftily.] ...what kind of treats?

[risingspirit]

Just whatever I could find at the grocers! There's cake and candy... and popcorn, but I guess that's not sweet. Well, caramel popcorn is.

[flicker_flash]

Really? I shall--

[Waaaaait.]

What's your name?

[risingspirit]

It's Coby, miss!

[flicker_flash]

That's better. My mother says you shouldn't take candy from strangers. Will you be there long?

[risingspirit]

Your mother sounds like a smart woman. And yeah, I should be here a couple hours or so.

[flicker_flash]

All right, then. [And with a smile, she closes her journal.

She's coming to find you, candy. Uh, I mean. Coby. >.>]

[risingspirit]

I look forward to seeing you!

[And he'll just be chillin' with the music.]

[flicker_flash]

[Chillin' with music is always a fun pasttime! Katie will most likely sidle up to the nearest bucket of candy a few minutes later. 8D But it is polite to say hello before trying to run off with sugary goodness.]

...why is your hair pink?

[...hush, it's a perfectly valid greeting.]

[risingspirit]

[Coby blinks, taken back. There was something wrong with pink hair?]

That's... just the color it's always been.

[flicker_flash]

Do lots of people have pink hair where you're from, then? [She'll just start filching candy and filling her pinafore pockets.]

[risingspirit]

It's not too uncommon... People have all different colors of hair.

[flicker_flash]

Oh. That must be nice.

We used to have a lot of people with pink hair at home, but I think they all got hunted down.

[risingspirit]

H-hunted down? Why would anyone do that??
