1st Illusion: Intro

[theothermist]

Who: Chrome Dokuro and anyone!
Where: Virgo Ward and Capricorn Ward.
Summary: Chrome has recently arrived, and after watching some dancing Frosts, it's time to buy some stuff and make sure her powers are still in shape.
Warnings: Illusions and moe.


[Virgo Ward]

[Watching dancing demons was entertaining, but Chrome did need to go out and buy supplies. She hadn't bothered to use the network for anything yet besides info gathering, since she had more important things to focus on. Like buying food.

Except Chrome, while being a bit braver in social situations than she was before, was not used to large, noisy crowds. So this? This is a bit overwhelming.]

Um... Excuse me-[And her attempt to talk to a vendor is quickly cut off by a loud shout from another vendor, and she's soon lost in the crowd again. But she's determined to keep trying, even though she looks pretty uncertain and she's holding her black bag to her chest like a shield.

... And her voice is a bit too quiet to be heard over all the noise whoops. So she might need a bit of help.]


[Capricorn Ward]

[While she knew her illusion skills were still in tact, given to how she wasn't suddenly coughing up blood from lack of organs, it doesn't hurt to practice and to make sure her illusions are still as strong as before. And luckily this empty plain is a perfect practice spot.

So, after getting her trident ready to act as a focus, she'll just close her eye and concentrate. After a moment, a flock of black birds appears in front of her and fly around the sky, looking and sounding very real. She soon appears her eye, and glances up at the birds, looking pleased with herself before they vanish.

And next she'll slam the bottom end of her trident to the ground, and a few pillars of fire shoot out from the ground, once again looking and feeling real, if the heat is any indication.

And Chrome just seems pleased with her results.]

[Tsuna noticed the difficulty she's having. Maybe he can help her out? At least he can try. He squeezes his way through the crowd until he finally stumbles out in front of her.]

Hi.... Need a hand?

[He'd probably seem more reliable if he wasn't immediately shoved a couple feet to one side by the press of the crowd.]

H-hey!

[Yeah, they don't even hear his brief protest.]

[theothermist]

[Chrome was about to reply before he gets shoved, and she quickly moves towards him with a worried look, making sure to side-step the crowd.] Are you all right, Boss?

[dame_tsuna]

Y- yeah.... I'm fine.

[He suppresses the urge to sigh. It figures that this is how his attempt to be chivalrous and helpful would go. To cover his embarrassment, he looks back at the crowd in front of the stall.]

Geez, there's so many people here. Are they having a sale or something?

[theothermist]

[She gives a quiet hum in agreement as she looks at the crowd.] ... Maybe. More people have arrived here, so they might be having a sale because of that.

[dame_tsuna]

.....

[He looks warily at the crowd, trying to find an opening.]

It looks like there's a few less people on that side.

[He points at the far left side of the stall.]

Let's try there.

[theothermist]

[She nods and moves around to that side, glancing back at Tsuna as she does.] ... Are you shopping too, Boss?

[dame_tsuna]

[He nods, still trying to find a way through the crowd around the stall.]

I'm just looking for the essentials. Food and maybe some clothes. It's not like I brought a lot of stuff with me....

[Just then, a woman in front of them moves to one side, and they finally make it to the counter in front of the stall. Not wanting to miss their chance, Tsuna calls out to the shopkeeper.]

Excuse me, we'd like.....

[And then he realizes that actually, he has no idea what they'd like. He flashes Chrome an embarrassed smile.]

S-so what was it you were going to buy?

[theothermist]

Potatoes, carrots, leeks and onions... And rice too. [Thanks to helping Kyoko and Haru make food, Chrome has gotten better at cooking herself. Or well enough that she doesn't have mainly a diet of chocolate anymore.]

[dame_tsuna]

[Yeah, Tsuna is starting to wish he knew how to cook. He steps aside slightly to let Chrome collect her groceries.]

What are you going to make?

[theothermist]

I'm not sure yet... I also need to go buy meat too, but they don't sell that at this stall... [She thinks to herself, turning back to the vendor to ask for some mushrooms and radish too.

Once she's got all her groceries, she turns towards Tsuna.] ... Is it okay if I make dinner for you, Boss?

[dame_tsuna]

R-really?

[Lucky!]

Thanks! That'd be great.

[theothermist]

[Chrome gives him a faint smile with a nod.] You're welcome, Boss. I learned a few recipes while cooking with Kyoko-chan and Haru-chan, so I'm hoping I'll make something good.

[dame_tsuna]

I'm sure anything you make will be fine!

[Honestly, it has to better than whatever he'd make for himself. It's not like he's ever cooked before.]
