7 ♣ [TEXT/ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY]

[TEXT]

[Sometime during the day, a short text pops up on the network.]

Tell me about something you miss from home. Something you can't get here.

[Someone isn't having a good day.]

[ACTION]

[Things have been fairly rough for Celes, lately, but she's finally managed to get herself out of the house. It's more for necessity rather than out of desire, however; a horrible discovery early this morning showed her that it was simply impossible for her to remain idle...especially in the face of such a frustrating threat. What was this clearly catastrophe occurrence?

She discovered she's running dangerously low on eyeliner.

So that's why, if you happen to be in the make-up section of the Goldenrod Department store, you'll spot her and her Gothitelle, Victoria, standing in front of a display featuring one of the fancier brands. Celes' face isn't showing much emotion, as usual, but her movements are jerky and her posture is tight. She's frustrated; the day isn't getting any better. She's gone through three testers and none of them are quite right; the fourth one isn't showing promise, either.]


I simply cannot believe they ran out of my favourite brand...none of these ones are quite the same.

[Narrowing her eyes at the thin black line she's drawn on her hand, Celes rubs at it with her finger, pursing her lips as it smudges into her skin.]

Honestly...is this what passes for quality in this place? Pathetic...that saleswoman should be fired.

[Turning around, she lightly tosses the tester back towards the display; it lands neatly back into place with a soft clacking sound, guided into position by her Gothitelle. Looking around the make-up area, Celes rolls her eyes.]

Am I really expected to travel all the way to Celadon City to find it? What nonsense.

[...although...she has heard excellent things about the fashion and shopping in Celadon. Would it be able to compare to Tokyo, though? Hmm...

...well. It's not like she's going to go today, anyway. The thought is...tempting, however; it would likely do her good to get away from this city for a little while.

Food for thought, anyway.

...]


Come, Victoria. Perhaps I'll buy a new perfume.


[OOC: Celes will be wandering throughout the Department Store all day, so you can run into her wherever you like - it doesn't just have to be the make-up section!]

yes, but it doesn't appear to hold races. Back home, I usually host the major international cycling race, and it's a huge event both sporting and socially. I guess I miss a more grand atmosphere.

Not exactly, though I guess it might as well be magic. I could turn into a lot of different animals, though most of the time I was a hawk.

I'd call it less frustrating and more bothersome... It's not that bad, most the time, if I don't think about it. It's just one of the only two things I've ever been good at.

[ William takes the suggested bottle from the shelf and looks it over briefly before turning towards his 'consultant.' He's pleasantly surprised at who it turns out to be. ]

Ah, Miss Celestia.

[ He will give a polite bow. ]

Shopping as well?

[If this had been brought up earlier, Mondo wouldn't have been furious. Celes can't compare her situation to his at all - what he did was an accident and she purposefully had two of their classmates murdered, at least that was his understanding of it. But he's calmed down a lot here and though he does flinch in response to her words, he doesn't leave and actually gives some thought to them.]

...I was really glad when Leon showed up here because I thought "hey, someone who understands what I'm going through". I couldn't really feel the same about you 'cause y'know, Ishimaru.

[He ducks his head, staring down at the panda. It's an effective way to hide his face with his pompadour and something he's far too used to doing.]

I'll never feel at peace with that. I know eventually I'll have to go home and go through it and there's nothing I can do, but every little bit here helps. For every day I don't blow up when something would've pissed me off back then and for every time I can laugh a remark off instead of getting mad... it's a big help.

For me, it really helps have Fujisaki here. It keeps me on my toes, so I don't slip up.

[He pauses, evaluates his words, and then immediately attempts to explain better, looking a bit panicked.]

Ah-- shit, that's... I don't mean it like I've gotta be good for Fujisaki. I mean, I do, but it's not something I feel I'm obligated to do? It's something I want to do. I want to become a better person, no matter what that takes and no matter how long it takes. So I'll do everything I feel like I can do to make that happen.

[...]

Shit, that was a lot, sorry. I don't really talk about this, in case that wasn't already obvious.

[ Home, huh... there's not much she misses. Somewhere between Twilight Town and this place, though... ]

I miss my sketchbook. I'm not sure if any place here sells art supplies.

Do you! And you've not encountered...difficulty of any sort while traveling?

[Congratulations on jumping up about a hundred points in coolness factor, Celes.]

Of course it's not unheard of for a lady to journey on her own; sometimes the circumstances simply can't be helped, after all, but I've never thought of it as being quite ideal. Is it really so enjoyable, going all alone?

Technology, technically. From another planet.

Picking up some provisions. My subordinate and I were planning on heading back to Violet City.

[ Or the lack of good tea. Honestly. ]

How have you been feeling? Since our lunch date, that is.

[It's surprising that she doesn't call it insipid and even more surprising that she's willing to acknowledge it as a possibility. For the longest time Mondo has refused to even consider that there's more to Celes than what little he's seen of her, but she's just like the rest of them. She's a person too, no matter the reason for what she did.]

Yeah. It's definitely possible. I'm sure of it.

[He grins, though this time there's nothing awkward about it.]

I'm glad to be here, to get some distance from everything that happened - or will happen - there. It's really nice to be able to sort myself out. It's really nice to get to see more of everyone else as well.

[...Even you, if today's any indication.]

[Technically yes, but only very technically.]

It was brought to my world by an alien. But I'm an Earthling. Or whatever you want to call people from Earth.

Of course it's a positive opportunity.

[He used to see it as only delaying the inevitable. He was so scared of returning home that he couldn't focus on anything here. He was mad so often and when he wasn't mad, he was horribly depressed. It was a really bad time, but eventually something changed. He's not sure he can point to one specific thing happening, but things started to get better. He's doing well now, so of course he can look at this as a positive experience.]

...Well, even if I can't understand, maybe someone else will. Personally, I found it was better to actually talk this shit out.

[He pauses for a moment, then rubs the back of his head.]

I mean, even this conversation's helped, so... But I dunno, it might just be my way of doing things.

[Celes' words don't bother him any because he's never understood her. He's not expecting miracles here.]
