☆ she dreams of the bright lights 005;

[herlonelystar]

The first thing that hits you once you step into this dream scape is the sun shining almost directly into your eye. But, once the glare settles, the sight to behold is nothing other than a high school decorated very brightly with food and game booths, students in costumes, balloons and the chatter of happy folks that wander around the school

[She's sixteen for the occasion; perfect for a high-school festival and wearing the school uniform to boot. The only difference is the sly smile as her accessory.

And the way heads turn to look at her. She likes that.

Ami keeps going through the halls, nodding to a few of the people, quite pleased with herself to all appearances.

Then the screaming starts. It comes from behind her, from the direction of a room set up as a haunted house. They're screams of true terror, not silly students playing at being scared. Ami's smile spreads maliciously.

In that room are quite a few very live and very dangerous youma.]

[School? What a waste of time. Reno never went to one, and look how she turned out. Amazing, that is how.

She hasn't decided on a focus for her desire for mayhem yet, having recently arrived in this dream she considers to be quite boring. For now, she's idly destroying decorations. Having a high powered electrical weapon is great for that. It's also a fire hazard, but Reno's not too concerned.

When she hears the screaming, she turns, her interest piqued. When she sees Ami, a smile spreads across her face as well, with a maliciousness similar to Ami's own.]

Hey.

Looks like you're having fun. Sounds like it, too.

[waterfell]

[Hey! School is not a waste of time. In fact, even she wouldn't do this during normal class hours.

But this is a school festival, and more, it's Usagi's school festival, and the panic this will unleash will force Usagi to come to her, one way or another. Her grin only broadens more when she spots Reno.

They can have fun with this together.]

I thought the festival should be properly exciting. [She manages to say the most correct things in the worst ways.]

[tasercopter]

[Reno's a competent, high-paid professional without ever having gone to school, but she guesses not all people have her natural talent.]

Yeah, it's boring, right? Kid stuff. [She's ignoring the fact that of course a school would cater to children.] They ought to have--I don't know, something better to do. [She lights a cigar and starts to smoke.] A firing range, maybe? [At this, a gun appears in her hand, and she looks down at it approvingly, though she slips it into a shoulder holster that has also appeared.]

[She nods toward where the screams are coming from.] So what'd you do in there?

[thatoldthatkind]

It's been a long while since he's seen a festival at a Japanese school. Not out of a lack of trying, but simply because the TARDIS has other ideas in mind. Thankfully she can't exactly control what he does in a dream. So, he's strolling through the place, bow tie and green jacket, with his hands in his pockets as he looks around at all the stands.

[herlonelystar]

"--kay! I'll bring some extra ice from the cafeteria!"

Usagi steps out from one of the food stands, back turned to the Doctor as she answers one of the stall workers who's working their shaved ice stand. "Just make sure you make me an orange and grape one!"

With a grin, she finally turns, hoping to make a quick rush to where all the ice is being stored. But, she notices almost too late that she's about to run into that familiar green jacket and practically trips over herself so she doesn't end up plowing him to the ground.

"ACK!"

[thatoldthatkind]

He stumbles forward, but whirls around and tries to catch the familiar blond with the buns on her head. His face turns into a bright smile. "Usagi!"

[While her mind had stayed the same, her body was reverted back to sixteen for this particular dream adventure. Her school uniform felt rather odd and unfamiliar to her, especially because it wasn't red. Genesis had never been to high school, well, not like this. She was only fourteen when she joined ShinRa, so her schooling was there.

Still, she wandered around to try and figure out what to do. She'd been to festivals before. But not like this.]

[herlonelystar]

[ Finally. A break. Running around and gathering things for other people was a tiresome job. Not that she was really complaining. She liked being able to help everyone and actually succeed in doing so, but still.

With her arm band off and shoved loosely in her skirt pocket, she's munching on a chocolate covered banana idly until she notices someone looking a bit out of place.

That won't do. That just won't do at all! So Usagi makes her way on over to the other girl to help with whatever she can. ]

Hello! Are you okay? You look a little lost.

[rhapsody_onfire]

[She jumped at the voice and turned to her.]

Hello.

[She regained her composure as soon as she lost it. Dreams. Genesis didn't like how unguarded she felt within them but she suppose it couldn't hurt to act like she was suppose to be the teenager she looked..]

Well, that's because I am. I come from another school and was separated from my friends. We don't have festivals, so I'm afraid I've a bit lost as to what to do here.

[Not that there were others here with the same uniform she wore. She could still continue the farce and say she was left behind.]

[herlonelystar]

Really? You don't have festivals? That's awful! [ Awful in a sense of this kind of thing is so much fun! Still, if Usagi is aware that this is all a dream and that Genesis is another guest in her mind, she doesn't show it. ]

Well, let me be the first to welcome you to Juuban High School's Cultural Festival!

[ Finishing off her chocolate banana, Usagi holds out her hand with a huge and bright smile on her face. ] If you want, we can hang out together until you find your friends! This place is pretty easy to get lost in if you don't know you're way! It's happened to me a few times!

[ Her face turns light pink around the cheeks while she laughs at herself. ]

[ It might have been a little foolish but in her defense it seemed appropriate. Like a trip down memory lane Romana had crossed into this dream dressed in an old outfit she had once worn to Paris when she was still a traveler. The hat had been left behind in this case and the red Mary Janes replaced with simple black ankle-high boots. Curiously she was wandering the halls of the school, observing the festival and those who were in attendance, all the while keeping to herself. ]
