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!]

no subject
[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.]
no subject
[Talk about things, is it...who exactly would she be able to talk about all this with, though? The only one who really springs to mind is Kirigiri, but that option is...unappealing...
...]
As it stands, however...I am pleased to hear that you've managed to get some sort of closure, Oowada-kun, if only to spite the 'Mastermind'. Being able to claw your way out of despair is admirable.
Perhaps I will not give up hope just yet.
[Another one of her usual lies, or an rare truth? Who knows....]
no subject
[It could easily be a lie, but he's just going to pretend it's the truth and roll with it. Maybe if he pretends hard enough, Celes will give in and give it a try!!
...His hopes aren't high here.]
We're here and the Mastermind's not, so we might as well make the most of it.
