001 ☁ Action

[temperedtempest]

[Waking up alone in an unfamiliar forest location was nothing short of alarming, but Ororo figured that perhaps she shouldn't be too surprised. This came with the X-Men package, it seemed, and this was hardly her first kidnap... But for there to be a repeat (successful) attempt, almost made the distant, rumbling thunder too difficult to contain.

[...What's this! And exotic beauty in the morning?! A gorgeous woman with her hair sparkling in the sun?! The one and only Masaomi Kida cannot ignore this!! He needs to pick his angle though. ...

But then he notices her walking into the clothing store. That's his chance! He goes in right after her, and in a clear violation of everything that is right in the world, cleverly (and covertly, maybe) slips to behind the always unmanned counter over to say-]

Welcome to our store!!

[temperedtempest]

[Storm glances up, blinking. Hm, she could've sworn that the journal said things were free around here?]

[Still, she'll give the young man a nod and a smile.]

Thank you. I was told we could find our own clothes in here?

[generalflirt]

That's exactly right, ma'am! Might I help you in your search~? [Complete with this face from behind the counter, nodding to himself]

[temperedtempest]

[What an amusing kid.]

I think I'll manage. Though I'll be sure to call on your assistance, if I need it.

[generalflirt]

But four eyes are better than two, even two as lovely as your own! [No, really]

[temperedtempest]

[That makes her eyebrows shoot up slightly, but the lack of malicious intent behind those words makes her laugh a little.]

That's sweet of you to say. Are sure you're not too busy to help?

[generalflirt]

I could never be too busy for a lovely woman like yourself! [THIS POSE. And then after flailing a little, he straight up jump-skis over the counter to be at her attention on the other side.]

[temperedtempest]

[Well, isn't this sweet? In a vaguely weird way, but still sweet.]

I suppose I should be thanking you...? [Trailing off in that way that she's asking for his name without really asking.]

[generalflirt]

[He grins and gives a little pose not unlike this in the icon, laughing all the way] Masaomi Kida! And please, there's no need to thank me until you are in the clothes you fit best in!

[A pause before] Though you still do look good in that~

[temperedtempest]

[She laughs good-naturedly.]

I think I would feel more comfortable in something I am more used to.

[generalflirt]

Of course, of course~ am I looking for something in particular... ? [Asking for her name in turn, clearly]

[temperedtempest]

Ororo Munroe. [She smiles.] And no, nothing in particular. It would be nice to have some of my own clothes, but I am not particularly choosy about what I wear. [but if she spies her uniform, she'll have to figure out how to get it without Kida's noticing]

[generalflirt]

O...roro-san! Alright, got it-! [He sweeps his arms dramatically this before setting off to a nearby rack to... well okay he doesn't know her size at all but he'll approximate, okay?]

[temperedtempest]

[She's a cartoon-interpretation of a superheroine, Kida. These hips don't lie. Have fun approximating!]

[But she holds up a blouse that looks a little like what she's used to wearing.]

Something like this, perhaps?

[generalflirt]

Excellent! [Whoa man, she's even asking for his opinion? Total score. He turns and smirks, spreading his arms wide for her!]

I'm sure you would look great in that, Ororo-san!

[temperedtempest]

Why, thank you. I rather like it myself. [Gives him a warm smile, before turning back to the clothes racks to find something to go with it.]
