☽ Stage 3

[crasherpacifist]

[So, after the... relatively interesting, if calm, Prom night, as well as the total crash of it for Harpuia, X has decided to just take a break today, and hang around the city.

He's set himself up next to the fountain with a small box, along with a few smaller boxes scattered around it, strangely enough. What could the boxes be for?

All he's doing at

*White Len curiously walks up to the boxes. Although she hasn't picked one up yet.*

Ah, I wonder what these could be?

[crasherpacifist]

They're presents. Would you like one?

[facadefortwo]

Why are you offering me a present?

[crasherpacifist]

Because I bought them for anyone who wanted one. I noticed there were a lot of people who seemed sad or unhappy the other night, so I'm trying to help it at least a little.

[A foot or so away, Amaterasu is kneeling before the fount, hands on her knees and the top half of her body pressed downwards - nearly pressing her front against her her legs in a slightly uncomfortable looking position. She's staring at the remaining boxes with mild curiosity.

What were these? Were they for someone? She was used to seeing plenty of chests and the like, even having them presented before her back in Nippon, but she had never seen boxes like this before...

Amaterasu's ears twitch as she looks up and proceeds to stare at X quietly.]

[crasherpacifist]

[X notices this, and laughs a little. The position reminded him of a dog's, but he digs through the boxes anyway.]

They're gifts I bought. Enough people seemed sad that I'd like to try doing something about it.

[He comes out with another box, gently passing it over to Ammy.]

[illuminatism]

[Gifts, he says.

Her ears perk forward as much as they can when the box is presented to her and she eyes it. Her lips purse and her eyes narrow the more she stares at it - thoughtful and almost hesitant because she had not been expecting something like this. She had no gotten him anything in return.

Looking back to X, Amaterasu removes her hands from her lap and takes the box carefully. So, there were people who were sad and she had not noticed...

Her expression falls a little as she opens the box, setting the lid aside and mentally notes that it is good that someone had taken notice. That someone was doing something to try and cheer those people who were feeling even the slightest bit upset up. It was good. It was nice and -]

...?

[Amaterasu stares down inside the box and then to X and then back down. He had gotten her a...collar?]

[crasherpacifist]

...Ah, I'm sorry. I mostly just took what there was for sale, and it seemed a little fitting.

[It seems more of a collar-like necklace than a straight up collar, but still.]

[usagidrop]

[Pleinair walks past nearby, slowing her pace down a bit when she notices that there is something going on around the fountain, but she has no plans to stick her nose into things right now. At least, not yet...give her some time, and she may decide she's curious enough to come take a look.]

[crasherpacifist]

[It may help that the man in charge is a Harvest Cleric, and gives off an aura of friendliness.]

[usagidrop]

[That might explain why she's suddenly reminded of Flonne of all people. And with being reminded of someone she knows, her interest in the things going on here at the fountain climbs a bit, so the Steam Gunner stops walking along her path and turns to draw a bit closer to see what's going on.]

[crasherpacifist]

[X notices her when he looks up from his book, smiling and waving.]

Hello.

[headphonerookie]

[ Spin is wandering around and trying to see if he can get his Relic to contact the EBA somehow or leave a message they could find. He hears the person in blue's melody but doesn't approach him right away. ]

HAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[crasherpacifist]

[X notices his fiddling, however.]

Are you having trouble?

HEY! MISSION! Wait, you're not in trouble. =|

[headphonerookie]

Huh? Oh, just reading the Relic and trying to reach some relatives.

Sorry, was I bothering you?

I NEED TO GET THE PRESENTS OUT TO THE CHILDREN BEFORE SUNDOWN

[crasherpacifist]

No, not at all.

[Have a warm smile, Spin.]

Unless they're here in the World, you won't have any luck getting ahold of them, I'm afraid.
