"Linali!" Miranda's voice cut through the cool air as she hurried over to her fellow Exorcist. As usual, the woman was dressed in a warmer-than-necessary fashion, her black Exorcist coat (from the uniforms Linali had not yet known) buttoned tightly over her dark shirt and pants. Her wavy hair hung loosely about her face, having fallen from its low ponytail as the woman ran.

She finally approached Linali, pausing for a moment to catch her breath before clasping one of the girl's hands apologetically and glancing around. "I-I'm very sorry! Am I late? H-has everyone already gone?"

Mai had bought a long, emerald green coat that kept her comfortable in the weather. She was wearing pants, for once; black dress pants that matched her white and black top. She loved the bookstore, because it had stuff she found very fashionable.

Jogging up to the girls in her new black boots, she smiled upon seeing Linali and Miranda. "Hey girls! It's been awhile since we've all done something together."

The minute Haruhi got news of costume shopping, she was out the door and ready to go. She wore a cropped jean skirt and a tank top that was covered up by a hot pink and white striped pullover sweatshirt to keep her from getting cold. She'd picked up a pair of warm light pink Ugg-style boots from the store because it was too cold not to go around without them--it made her wish, just a little, she had picked a warmer place to magically appear in. The cold was hardly a damper on her high-spirited personality though; she was still just as energetic and rash as ever. This was obvious enough; she was bolting down the hall, trying to find the other girls

Linali was just about to greet Mai when Haruhi came charging up. "Oh, h-hello, Haruhi," she said cautiously. Something about the girl scared her to death, and she wasn't sure what it was. She seemed nice enough, and she hadn't given Linali any real cause not to like her, but she was really scared of Haruhi, and especially scared of what kind of costume she'd be forced into.
