Comments

B please!~

[garudyneinstyle]

[ Yukari has no particular reason to be in the bookstore, really. She is just wandering; maybe she feels like a good book would pass the days better than just watching TV or something Stupei might do.

She spots a familiar face near one of the shelves that she just happens to be approaching; annnddd she smiles, seeing how determined Maka looks, scanning the book titles. Yukari pulls out a book that catches her eye, very casually as she addresses her. ]

Heey. Looking for something?

[witchbuster]

Hi, Yukari! I--[glancing back at the shelf she was looking at real quickly]--am apparently looking at Agatha Cuttlefish.

[garudyneinstyle]

Agatha Cuttlefish?

[ She repeats, a little bewildered, though a small chuckle escapes her lips at that last name. It's brief, however, and you can tell she's definitely trying to think of something. ]

I...

Well, I've heard of Agatha Christie...

[witchbuster]

She's one of my favorites! But apparently Agatha Cuttlefish wrote classics like The Pale Seahorse and Hickory Dickory Cod.

[Yes, this is quite plainly amusing her.]

I just can't get over these titles.

A 8D

[noghostsplzkthx]

[just passing by, a few DVDs and magazines in hand.]

...Maka?

[and looking at the titles.]

What are you looking for?

[witchbuster]

Hi, Liz! I'm looking for romantic comedies that have weddings as a part of their plot.

[I mean duh.]

[noghostsplzkthx]

You're what? [because she had no idea you were into that sort of thing.]

[witchbuster]

It's for a friend of mine.

He really wants to know about weddings, I guess, and he likes romcoms. And he's been really helpful to me since I arrived here, so I wanted to get a gift for him.

[witchbuster]

[Whoa! That--

actually doesn't really bother her so much. Believe it or not, she's used to being run into and is only able to avoid it herself because of her freaky ability to see souls.

But anyway, hello stranger! This is Maka smiling and shaking her head.]

Don't worry about it! There's nothing wrong with getting lost in a good book!

[witchbuster]

Of course, I'm fine! [She sort of thumps her chest for emphasis.] I've had worse, believe me.

Option B!

[colnecromancer]

[Jade's been combing through the shelves methodically, looking for anything both competently written and pertinent to his interests. Though it's becoming obvious he'll need to find a technical library to do that.]

There's a girl scrutinizing the books as well, and he can't help but to appear behind her and ask.]

Is there another bookstore nearby?

[witchbuster]

There's a pretty good-sized library here! I haven't finished looking through it yet, but there are some...

[A pause as she looks back at the book in her hand titled "Of Fish and Mermen"]

...Less...fishy books and more reference materials.

[colnecromancer]

And that would be where? [Asking any of the local inhabitants for directions has only proved to be an exercise in utter futility.]

That would be much preferable, yes. [He catches the title and...cover art of the book in her hand.] Though I see fish are to your taste.

[witchbuster]

Actually...I can't stand fish. It makes me sick. [ALL SMILES AS SHE SAYS THIS, THOUGH, figure that one out.]

[And now she's pointing off in that one direction over there. And giving a fancy detailed description because the library actually remains an eternal mystery to the mun.] You can't miss it!

oh hi buddy

[witchbuster]

[...Those sickles look kind of cool, even with the doofus-fu. She's making a note to ask him about them later.]

I told you I would! [And now she's holding up one of the Earth films she managed to snag to show him the title "27 Dresses"] I basically just picked up whatever had a wedding involved in the plot, this one's about a woman that always ends up being a bridesmaid at her friends' weddings.

[witchbuster]

[Are you really setting off her boring explanation ability. ARE YOU.]

They're usually friends of the bride that she picked out specifically to help; they assist the bride with the preparations beforehand and during the wedding. Typically the highest ranking one of them is the maid of honor, whose usually the best friend or sister of the bride.

What I'm basically saying is they're friends and helpers that the bride can rely on to be there for her on her wedding day. Grooms--or, rather, the other partner in the relationship--have their own equivalent in groomsmen and a best man.

The dresses...don't really have a lot to do with it except it's a part of the etiquette to dress nicely at a wedding and the bridesmaids typically have matching dresses. It's sometimes a part of the theme of the wedding.
