HEATHER PROTESTS THE PG RATING. Birthday-shopping should involve profanity and explosions! foolishwren June 13 2011, 23:36:05 UTC

When Aoko came down the stairs, Heather had been facing the lobby windows, thumbs in the belt-loops of her shorts and eyes lidded against the glare of the sunshine. Hot out today. WAY hot. It was the time of year for tank-tops, sandals, and ice cream. Right now she had-- ... well, okay, only two of the three-- but hey, today was a day out. She could always bully the other two into getting the latter with her once they were done.

She had arrived in Johto almost exactly a year before-- and, well, back then, she hadn't much been able to appreciate the summertime in the wake of having been yanked into a different world. This year, however... it was gonna be different. No-- it already was different. A good kind of different.

At the sound of Aoko's voice, she turned around with a half-grin.

"I'm ready. Better get the show on the road if we wanna get things done without running into the birthday boy somewhere along the line and having to explain ourselves to him. ... But for the record, if we do, we should totally just stare at him awkwardly and be like, 'We're doing market research', or something. And then ask him if he wants to come around and interview angry people door-to-door on their mouthwash preferences with us."

how are we even supposed to DISCUSS THINGS in PG? darkenedgales June 14 2011, 00:17:18 UTC

'Hot' was the only fitting word to describe the past few days and at this point, Crow had been forced to ditch his trademark vest in an attempt to not make the situation worse by layering clothes, but truth to be told? It didn't help much. But as much as doing anything in such heat wasn't the duelist's idea of a perfect afternoon, he was actually rather optimistic about the whole birthday shopping thing. After all, he had never actually participated in something like that, much less a birthday party itself, so it was only natural he was thrilled for it.

Funny how none of this would have probably happened if he hadn't somehow ended up in an entirely different world nearly a year ago.

He was hoping to be able to talk to Heather about what had (supposedly?) happened during the time everyone in Johto had been (again, supposedly?) asleep for three days, but seeing as he didn't even know exactly what it was about and expecting Aoko to show up in a few minutes, he gave up on it, settling down in one of the lobby's armchairs comfortably. It wasn't long until the last member of their little conspiration showed up, causing him to jump to his feet with a wide grin.

"Ready when you guys are!" He confirmed, snickering at Heather's remark. That would probably keep anyone away from pursuing the subject, yes.

IDEK you guys. This stuff involves a looooot of shit ahokonakamori June 14 2011, 00:25:24 UTC

Aoko didn't really mind the weather. She was honestly too happy to notice it. But she made sure to wear a light skirt and tank top, just to make sure she wouldn't get too hot. She even tied her long, dark hair in a pony tail.

At Heather's remark, Aoko can't help but laugh.

"I'm sure then he'll definitely say no, Heather. It's a brilliant idea." She headed toward the door.

"Let's go, then! And if it's all right with you guys, we can get ice cream afterward. My treat!" All said with a bright smile.

foolishwren June 14 2011, 03:04:36 UTC

Aw, Crow. Come. Come engage in normal teen/young-adult behavior. ... With two girls. This day will either be a blast, or torture.

As for those three days... well, Heather was a little curious too, but right now, there were more important things to be doing. LIKE ~*~SHOPPING~*~

Folding her arms behind her head, she beamed at the two of them.

"I'm full of good ideas. And so are you, 'cause that's the best idea I've heard all day."

She patted her pocket to make sure her wallet was still there-- the nice thing about lingering in cities longer than a few days was NOT having to carry all of her stuff around with her constantly-- and then made for the door, tugging it open and stepping back.

"Ladies first!"

... Aaand a playful grin shot in Crow's direction to show she didn't mean anything by it.

darkenedgales June 15 2011, 01:27:35 UTC

Probably a little of both.

Although Crow was not a great fan of shopping in general -- because shopping meant spending money, and back home it had always been his hard-earned money, and then calculating if there's enough left for daily supplies and bills and rent -- in other words, shopping had never been fun for him before, but he figured this might as well be the first time for that. After all, shopping for a friend's birthday would be entirely different.

"Sounds like a plan!"

He followed the girls to the door, only stopping abruptly at Heather's comment and giving her a slightly confused look that was quickly replaced by a smirk.

"Well then, what are you waiting for?"

ahokonakamori June 15 2011, 01:40:06 UTC

Shopping is very important for any girl. And today's shopping is with friends, so it'll be so much fun! Shopping for a friend's birthday meant looking at all different kinds of streamers, balloons, and who knows what else. And who wouldn't call that fun?

"Great!"

Aoko stopped at the door, and just giggled. She would let them have their little tease fest before they went on.

foolishwren June 15 2011, 05:47:38 UTC

Heather had been a bigger fan of it a few years ago than she was now. After what had happened in that shopping mall back in Maine... well, it had lost its appeal for awhile, she'd say that much.

But years had passed-- it was a new day. She was willing to let go of those old scars enough to enjoy a day out and get back a little of the spark she used to have. ... Er, without the shoplifting she used to do way back when. Ahem.

She just grinned wolfishly at Crow and then did an elaborate, flourishy bow.

"No, no, I insist."

darkenedgales June 16 2011, 06:12:50 UTC

Maybe his lesser interest in shopping originated from the simple (and kind of obvious, Heather) fact he was a guy, or maybe it was because he had been more used to breaking into Security's storehouses to get the stuff he wants. The latter wasn't an option in Johto anyway, so he could go with this.

... Provided they would actually leave the inn.

He folded his arms, the sly smile not leaving his face for even a second.

"I've got a lot of time on my hands, y'know."

ahokonakamori June 16 2011, 06:19:35 UTC

Yes, Aoko is wondering this, too. She would love nothing more for them all to walk out of the inn, and get the shopping started. Yes, she knew they were just teasing, and it was very funny to watch this. But....Kaito might come down soon. But she didn't want to interrupt their fun.

But someone has to do it.

"Hey guys? Not that this isn't funny, but shouldn't we get going? Kaito might come down, so I was just thinking it would be good if we left."

foolishwren June 16 2011, 07:20:30 UTC

PFFFFTT, fine.

With rolled eyes, Heather finally steps through the door.

"All right, all right. Spoilsports."

It's pretty obvious that she's not mad, though-- and she shades her eyes as she steps into the sun.

darkenedgales June 17 2011, 00:57:25 UTC

Crow beams at the girls, his overall posture seemingly saying 'I WIN', even if there's no reason to feel proud in the first place. He's also aware Heather's not angry at all, so her comment doesn't bother him in the slightest, only causing his grin to widen a little.

He follows the others outside, stretching in the sun while there.

"So, where are we going first?"

ahokonakamori June 17 2011, 05:10:35 UTC

Aoko just laughs at the both of them. Sometimes they were just so funny.

At the mention of the stores, she pauses for a bit.

"Let's see if we can find a good party supplies store." And there off!

foolishwren June 17 2011, 05:13:19 UTC

Just to clarify that no, he did NOT win, Heather gives Crow a rough but playful punch on the shoulder when he catches up.

"I think I saw a few neat places down by the docks. For all I know they just sell cheesy souvenirs, but hey, it's as good a place as any to start."

darkenedgales June 18 2011, 01:57:20 UTC

He gets it, but that doesn't stop him from grinning at her like the cat that ate the canary in response to the punch. Let it be known that Crow-sama always wins, even when he doesn't really.

Ah, the docks. He kind of smiles to himself at that particular suggestion. After all, he spent a huge chunk of his life living in docks. Even so, he hasn't visited the Olivine ones yet...

"I like the idea. Let's go!"

ahokonakamori June 18 2011, 02:10:54 UTC

Aoko will agree on the fact that he didn't win. It was a draw, plain and simple. Aoko sees that huge grin, and just rolls her eyes and smiles.

Hm. The docks seemed like a good idea. After all, they probably knew more about this place. Besides, they was sure to be something there.

"The docks it is then!"

foolishwren June 18 2011, 23:55:53 UTC

NUH UH, CROW, I THINK YOU'LL FIND IT'S THE OPPOSITE THAT'S TRUE. ... IN Heather's head, anyway. But time's a wastin', so OFF TO THE DOCKS THEY GO.

It's a little cooler right next to the water-- but still warm, and getting progressively warmer as the sun climbs in the sky. The creaking of rocking boats and the rush of waves slapping against the docks and rock walls making up the streets that lined the shore was met with the noises of general bustle-- the people of this town clearly got up early. Unsurprisingly for a fishing community.

Heather shaded her eyes again once they were nearing the shops and cafes.

"See anything promising-looking?"
