> [05] Open Post: Knock Before Entering

[yukarchery]

Apparently some things don't change. Yukari still likes pink, Minato's still the reliable guy she thought she said goodbye to two years ago, and the Mall is still the biggest jerk of a place ever. She...

Okay, she likes Souji. That much she'll admit. He's competent, friendly, and fun to be around. And she'll even admit, when placed under pressure

[Guess who is sitting by the fountain as she walks by- the numerous grocery bags kick in his 'help friend' gene and he stands up, heading over.

... Yeah, stuff happens in this mall. Hopefully they can get over all that.] Yukari, lemme help you with that?

[yukarchery]

[Her thought process could best be described as ADSKLJSAKGLADSKLG once she sees Souji. Watch her go pretty dang red.]

U-uh...no! It's alright, I've got it.

[kidofinaba]

[Well with that, it makes him think about what happened and though it's not an equal shade of red- it's red.]

.. You sure?

[yukarchery]

[N-nod. Oh god why can't she just...disappear into the bags.]

Yeah. So, um, don't worry. [Small noise.] Ugh, this is so embarrassing...

[kidofinaba]

[Because the bags would suffocate her and a dead Yukari is never awesome.]

... You know it wasn't your fault earlier.

[yukarchery]

I know. But...

[Hauuuuugh. She'd be mussing her hair up in frustration if she could. Just...keep cool...there. She lets out a small breath and offers him the books she'd taken out.]

I hate this Mall sometimes. That's all.

Ahh Yukari, victim of Jonesy's pairings. -shot-

[kidofinaba]

[There's a small laugh and he smiles, taking and looking through the books she's handed to him.] We all do- you're not alone.

The dangers of shipping Everyone/Everyone. :3c

[yukarchery]

[A few textbooks, college-level, some of the classics, and a rather embarrassingly bad romance novel. Nothing too bad.]

Always the gentleman, huh? [A small laugh back, Yukari brushing her hair back now that she has a hand free.] Thanks, Souji-kun.

Only in Jonesy World, but hey- no sales tax! : D

[kidofinaba]

[Let's see the plot for this... Trapped between her best friend and a new flame, generic female character must not only choose but she must pass her astronomy class! Shock. Holding them with one hand, the shoulders move up in a shrug.]

No problem. Anytime you need anything; I'm your guy.

And every day is Casual Friday. With free ice-cream!

[yukarchery]

Oh, I know that already. Who else would risk his life to get a bunch of trinkets for his schoolmates?

[She flashes a big grin now; if he wasn't going to be embarrassed, she could certainly feel a lot better about it! Though she still needed to clear it up...she fixes her sunglasses in her hair, tilting her head at him.]

You know I don't think of you that way, right?

Amazing~

[kidofinaba]

Hey come on- it wasn't like it was that out of the way, and it beats making cranes all the time. And praying at the shrine.

[He stares for a few moments at the question and the smile is retained.] 'Course, you still like Orpheus, no matter what happens right?

[yukarchery]

That's true. You're a real hard worker, h-- [Nrgh. Wince. She really had thought she was being secretive.] ...you don't have to put it so plainly.

[kidofinaba]

S-Sorry. [Status is now not great. He fixes the books, wondering of what to say now.]

I'll leave it alone.

[yukarchery]

Thanks. I guess it's still kinda raw...

[Oh dear, she's getting the Thinking of Minato look in her eyes again. And not the good one.]

[kidofinaba]

Understandable. [He notices this- time to change the topic. Hopefully.]

So what're you doing with all these groceries and books anyway?

[yukarchery]

[Ahahaha...]

Well, the plan was to hide in my room until all this blew over, but...
