1st Shell - Open like a lemonade stand in summer

Who: Xion and open to errybody
Where: Xion's room/hallway, then around Pisces and Virgo wards
Summary: Xion arrives in Hinoto-Ri and engages in standard new arrival procedures, by which we mean gaining her bearings and getting supplies. And then derps about puppies.
Warnings: Probably nothing. Except puppies.

Xion stood before the door to the room she'd been assigned, holding her key and... just thinking. The only other place she'd had a room of her own was Disney Castle, and now this. She hasn't seen any sign of her friends thus far, though she isn't sure if it's too much to expect they'd come here. It was all strange and happening so fast and while a part of her was saying it was the right thing to do she still felt... buffeted around, moved faster than she was ready for.

There was just something so... permanent about getting a room of her own. She can leave if she wants but she still... It's ridiculous. She should just go in already. She's been standing there long enough it probably looks strange to people nearby. And yet still she's hesitating.

---

Later, Xion took to the streets, keeping a wary eye all around. She's not... actively hiding. She doesn't even have her coat on, since it would probably stick out. But she's still being careful. It sounded like this city was the kind of place where you would want to be anyway.

In the Virgo ward, she headed to a grocery store her way through food, and those who are more experienced might note that what she's collecting are foods that require little to no cooking. She also stopped at a more general convenience store, looking for other supplies she might need. It's strange for her, shopping like this - she's used to getting all of their supplies from a Moogle, usually, and it was still no more than they would really need for camping for a few days. How did one shop for furniture, or that sort of thing, given how bare her apartment was?

As she was walking back towards Pisces, though, she spotted something that made her stop, walk over and almost press her nose against the glass - it was a pet store, with some of their adoptable dogs in a display in the window.

It's probably the first time she's smiled since she arrived, but she can't help it. They're so cute-!

No one can resist the cuteness of PUPPIES.

[...Xion wasn't the only one who was looking at the puppies. Though, this blue-haired woman definitely was from a distance. Aw, they're all so cute...

No. No, self. You can't adopt one, yet. You need to finish settling in this town first-

But puppies.

... Don't mind them getting a little closer so she can get a better look. At least, before noticing who is standing there. ...Does she remember her, though? Or is she like Neku?]


They're kind of cute, aren't they?

[May as well stick with the neutral, right?
linefacingforever: (Oh um... hunh.)

Grocery shopping? Excellent. :|b

[Yu had just started his shift, working on cleaning up the alse, when he caught sight of the little girl walking around collecting food. He had to bite back a sigh; Philemon? Why were you bringing all these kids in?]

[He waited a moment, taking in the fact that she was buying easy stuff to cook, before approaching her.]


Do you need help with anything?

Are you lost?

[Meetra had happened to be walking downstairs when she saw a young girl in what looked like a robe just staring at an apartment door. Being a Jedi, naturally, she had to stop and at least investigate.]

[...How strange. A Persona user she hadn't felt before was staying in the room in front of her. She had made it a point to introduce herself to the rest of her floormates - as any one of them could serve as a blossoming bond! - but this was -- different.

It's enough to pique her curiosity and push aside the beads that have replaced her door (you really don't want to know what she did with the door to her room). For once, her music is low - as she's finally figured out she cannot concentrate on talking to Thanatos when there is too much noise in her room - but it still drifts out in high, wooden notes.

(Today is a wooden xylophone day, or so she's decided.)

When she sees Xion, she smiles. Talking to her should be sufficient enough to get her attention, yes?]


Are you new? [She knows the answer, but it's best to ask anyway.] Perhaps I could be of some aid.

ALL THE CUTE~ ;3;

[Sometimes life's crossroads are just that silly, and who knows who you would run into on them? Still, she took that as a sign that maybe she was familiar, but she has no idea what she knows or remembers. Asking outright? Kind of rude.]

Mm, same. Though I used to have a kitten...

[She was starting to miss the little guy. :(]
linefacingforever: (Considering all the things.)

[personal profile] linefacingforever 2012-10-17 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
May I?

[He motioned to her cart, waiting for the okay to rife through what she picked out before actually doing do. Hmm...]

...you should probably pick up some toiletries. Not much is included with the apartment; only about a week's worth.
destinedwaters: (peace ❧ just sunshine)

this doth seem legit

[personal profile] destinedwaters 2012-10-17 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh... oh, she knew that look. Aqua automatically shakes her head, trying to show that no, she has no idea, and no, it wasn't back home. Because sob, poor kitty. ;n;]

Mm... I had to give him to a friend when I returned back home somewhere else.

[She made sure he had a good home! poor thing doesn't know that dream world is gone...]

[She smiles sadly. No, she couldn't take anyone or anything where she was going. she wouldn't subject anyone to that, really.]

Yeah.

[Though that question-- Oh, it put her between a rock and a hard place.]

With my friends. [At least she's honest?] Though as for the place, I'm not exactly able to say. There are many worlds, after all.

[World order. Fun times. At least she gave a hint?]

Then allow me to be your guide, of sorts. I have been here a full two months, and I have been through some of the more... unsettling events.

[Well. "Unsettling" in normal human kind of way. Elizabeth herself is never particularly unsettled with anything concerning Personas, although the circumstances of the city don't particularly sit well with her.]

My name is Elizabeth, and I reside in the abode just in front of you. Quite obviously, I suppose.

Have to get prepared for a new place, first?

[She smiled slightly at the awkward gesture. This had probably been a bad time to interrupt.]
linefacingforever: (Oh really...?)

[personal profile] linefacingforever 2012-10-17 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Not that I can see.

[He looked up at then, tilting his head curiously.]

You don't cook much?

Who can resist puppies, right?

[... Xion, you're not the only one looking at that pet shop. Though Terra's across the street, and he was clearly only passing through.

... but... a shop. With puppies in the window. Puppies that probably needed a good home--

No, Terra, don't get one, you can't afford to take care of a dog right now. It looked like the girl peering into the glass wanted nothing more than to take one of those puppies home herself--

He blinks, and then smiles slightly. That's a Light he recognizes.

Approaching, and -- oh, hell, they're even more adorable up-close. He's going to just look at them and ignore the 'take one home' urge in favor of addressing Xion.]
It must suck, being stuck behind that window for everyone to see.

[... this isn't helping with the desire to take one home.]
linefacingforever: (Yosuke what are you doing?)

[personal profile] linefacingforever 2012-10-18 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[Yu paused again, looking down at the collection of microwave foods. Yes... this was probably a good choice.]
