Tuesday January 3, Around Noon, Shopping

[lil_sundar]

Neha loved to shop and her father had followed the Japanese tradition of giving money for the New Year, which amused and excited her. It meant she had more money for her favorite hobby: shopping

((I somehow missed that Neha was in a goth-loli store and since Arashi dresses like that in her free time I felt I should comment))

Arashi couldn't be happier that the New Year was over and the shrine was dying down, she needed a few days of break before school started again. The money she had made was worth it and Arashi was excited to buy some new clothes.

When she wasn't dressed for the shrine or school Arashi enjoyed dressing cute but wasn't too much into the Lolita style that she stood out. Today she wore a knee length black ruffle skirt. The bottom half of the skirt was red and matched her red button up blouse. She wore black half jacket with long sleeves and topped up the look with red ribbons wrapped around chunks of her hair near her face.

Arashi frowned at some of the clothes on the rack some were to dark and others too sweet she had a hard time finding that just right in between. "Maybe I will just have to settle and go darker I might like it." she said as she pulled out a long ankle length black Victorian dress.

((OOC: No Problem! Interaction is good, especially since Neha met Kiyoshi on New Year. ^^ ))

Neha paused at the sound of a voice and turned. She looked at the girl and then the dress, shaking her head she walked over. "That dress definitely won't suit you...You have such a nice skin-tone...." She flipped through the dresses and pulled out one that was still primarily black, but had a touch of red in it. It was modest, but not as dramatically dark as the Victorian dress. "Why not something like this one?"

She gave the other girl an infectious grin. Her Indian accent was strong, but she was understandable. "I'm Neha Kapoor...You look oddly familiar...?" She tried putting a name to the features, but it was hard since it seemed to match a boy she'd met.

"um...Kiyoshi Arashi-san...was a boy." she looked a little sheepish at the last word, clearly knowing that she was identifying the wrong person, but still seeming to come up with that name as the only one that fit her memory.

Arashi was surprised it wasn't often people approached her. "You are right this one is much better." Arashi touched the dress in admiration. When Neha said the looked oddly familiar Arashi was confused she was sure if she had ever meet Neha before she would have remembered the beautiful girl and her charming aura.

When Arashi heard Kiyoshi's name she knew why Neha recognized her, it was no secret that the siblings looked eerily alike. "Yes he is, I would hope so." Arashi said in response to Neha's questioning of her brother's gender. "Or else my brother would have to explain some things to me about why he was no longer a boy."

Neha couldn't help giggling at the statement. She could just imagine that scenario. "No no...If he's your brother, it's no wonder you look so familiar. I met your brother on New Year, so the only name I was coming up with that matched your features was your brother."

"I'm Neha Kapoor." She said, a grin lighting up her features. She was a happy type and had already forgotten all about getting cake. "You should try on the dress. It will definitely look great."

"I am not much of a cake person but I am sure you can find something for me to try." Arashi felt it was weird doing these types of things with another having gotten used to being a loner.

[lil_sundar]

"Well...I think they had other sweets too...but I never really paid much attention." Neha gave her a rueful grin. "I love cake almost as much as I love shopping. Do you like other types of sweets? I think they had different pastries and parfaits. Or we can go to a coffee shop. They have a lot more options if you don't like sweets."

Neha was naturally the super-social type, so she was comfortable with anyone. She had already decided they were friends and that was good enough for her.

"I am sure I will find something I will like besides the fire told me to try some new things." Might as well do it now, Arashi thought.

[lil_sundar]

Neha didn't question being told something by a fire. She already knew that Arashi was from the temple and therefore she was a brahmin. She assumed the fire was just a vehicle for the gods to speak to the ones they chose. She just gave the girl a smile. "Well, trying new things is always a good idea. I'm trying something new every day."
