[It's a fine day in Vatheon.
Just beware of giant bouncy ball attacks.
Really, it wasn't her fault. But Saya still feels guilty as she runs out after it manages to bounce right out of the toy store and into ( Read more... )
WELL it is a good thing Shirley just happens to be walking by the toy store then, though she has no idea that it was one at the time. A simple glance would have told her as much, really, but she's kind of spacy today--
Trying to get the big picture as she explores this city, which still feels new to her--not fussing over little details, like what kind of stores were where exactly. Not just yet.
The ball that bounces by right in front of her distracts her from staring at all the various booths in the marketplace, coming as a bit of a surprise, though not a whole lot of harm was done by it. She simply goes after it, noticing that someone is shouting, looking to get it back--
And she picks it up, turning to face Saya. ]
A-ah, is this yours?

Um!
[A laugh and Saya sheepishly scratches her head.]
Thanks. A bunch.

I...I had no idea they had toy stores here.
[ And she hands the ball back to her, a slight nervous laughter escaping her lips. She smiles, though. ]
My name's Shirley. What's yours?

I'll be sure to let you know when I find something they don't have around here. Well, besides an exit but you know.
[careless handwave!]
I'm Saya! Very nice to meet you, Shirley!

[ Haha. Something about the girl just sort of melts the nervousness away from her; and she looks around at all the stores she hasn't even set foot in yet. ]
The city does seem to have everything, doesn't it...?
I can't believe it's been a month since I've been stuck here...

Let me tell you, it takes a while to explore everything, but it's always an adventure.

[ She chuckles. The city does seem rather big to her still, although in actuality it really wasn't. She just...well, wasn't used to it, that's all. But one day, she would be. Like getting rid of that 'new book' smell... ]
Though at least everyone has been friendly. A lot of people took their time out to help me that day. [ And she would repay them, someday! ]

Are you settling in well enough?

It...well, it could be worse, anyway.
[ She pauses to think about everything going on at her home...the terrorist attacks, the ones that...the ones that Lulu himself has been ordering...
It's a good thing to get away from all that, isn't it? ]
Ah, h-have you been here even longer than me, then?

How does over a year sound...?
You don't have to worry though. Only a handful of us stay that long.

A--a whole year?

I--sorry.
Haha. I guess I don't know whether to hope I stay that long or not.

You don't have to choose. It's not up to us how long we stick around anyway. Just try to enjoy yourself! It's actually... not that hard, with the right company.

[ She giggles a little. ]
It hasn't been all that bad, really. It's just a little strange, you know? A part of me still thinks I shouldn't be here...

[ She repeats with a small smile, then. ]
Haha, it doesn't sound so bad when you put it like that. We could all use one every once and a while.
[ She can't say she's unhappy to be away from that war. And the terrorist attacks. ]
