---ll do nicely! Thank you~. [The device clicks on as it's grabbed. Half-blocked by Umi's fingers the camera catches sight of her smiling face as she leaves a store, heavy bundles in her arms as she fidgets with her handbag.] Merry Christmas!

[The female clerk greets her back, adding something along the lines of "It can't go

Umi! Your clothes--

[ She sets the device down and you can hear some fumbling around in drawers and things. We can ask the confusing questions later. Now there are priorities. ]

Where are you? I'm headed out to meet you.

[soulofocean]

GOSH, a girl. AT LAST.

Presea... I swear I don't know what's going on anymore...

[soulofocean]

---It's right past the Square! I have to stay huddled in this stupid street corner because the jerks at the shop won't let me go in there LIKE THIS!!

voice; action is good whenever~

[pharles_at_life]

That's ridiculous! [ You can hear her moving now that she has a destination - the swift clip of someone with a destination. ] I'm going to have to give them a piece of my mind! Maybe several pieces! You can't be out like this!

[ She mumbles threats under her breath as she continues, determined to find the Knight. ]

voice; feel free to jump to it next! ♥ I'll keep separate threads for convenience.

[soulofocean]

You're telling ME! What if I needed help?? Lucky I'm not the panicking sort, but what if the girl suffering from this thing was TRAUMATIZED and needed support?!

It's crazy!!

[pharles_at_life]

What kind of curse is this, anyway? In the middle of winter!

action;

[pharles_at_life]

[ The voice cuts off abruptly because there is now a Presea in the Square, craning her neck around for... well, if she were honest, wherever the largest crowd is, because somehow she doubts that a naked girl will go unnoticed. She has a bundle of clothes in her arms, with a large sweater on top - she figured Umi would be cold. ]

Hey! Umi!

action;

[soulofocean]

[That crowd is being systematically chased away by 1.) killer glares of ice, and 2.) a very angered icy aura proper. The best way for Presea to find her would be in fact to follow the cold to the place that feels chillier.

Granted, this doesn't do much for Umi's state of undress, but at least the Water Knight has her high cold resistance.]

Presea! R-right here... [HONEST, City. To have to be rescued like this...]

action;

[pharles_at_life]

[ Aha, there is a thought. Let's follow the trail of shivering people. ]

Oh, you poor thing.

[ She's going to add her totally non-magical but hopefully intimidating glares for observers. ]

Go away! Leave her alone or I'll stab you with icicles!

action;

[soulofocean]

...Yeah, poor me. You should've seen the state of the guy who tried to play clever on me earlier!

[PRESEA YOU ARE GODSENT. Umi takes hold of the clothes and starts trying to put them on rather frantically.]

action;

[pharles_at_life]

I'm sure you took care of him. [ She seems amused, though at the same time she's still watching any lingering observers warily. Protective Pharle is protective. ]

[soulofocean]

It was the least I could do after he tried to grope me! [Hey, for a Knight whose aura is basically watery and icy, this one is fuming. Fumbling with the clothes, too.] He was lucky not to get it even worse!!

action;

[soulofocean]

What on... [Umi stares at herself with astonishment.] Presea, the little clouds won't fit!

action;

[pharles_at_life]

The... clouds?

[ Presea blinks. She'd thought that maybe Umi had summoned them herself, in desperation - a sort of home-made privacy keeper. People do things like that when they feel like they have to. ]

So you can't wear these? Oh, for Cephiro's sake. [ She's frustrated - at the curse, not at Umi. ]

action;

[soulofocean]

...Jeez, I'm DEFINITELY making them fit in... not matter what I have to-!!

[Pulling, tugging, jerking at the clothes so that they stretch and fit the goddamn clouds into them. Naturally this is to no avail and Umi is losing patience.]

GAH!! Fit already!!

action;

[pharles_at_life]

Maybe I should have brought a blanket...

[ She hadn't anticipated the need, but now she was regretting it a little. She fisted her hands in her gloves. ]

Well, we can at least go home where it's warm, if you can make it without freezing.
