What: ...Yep, shopping. Generally just hanging out around Asgard, buying shit and eating crap and trying to get Shu to wear high heels and making everyone socialise.
When: Day 112
Where: STARTING AT DRAUPNIR then probably just around Freyr and stuff.
Rating: NC 17 probably PG 13 at most.

[ GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. Pretend she all told you to meet up here after... yeah!! Anyways, on this fine morning - later on in the morning, not too early, she has arranged for all of her new friends to meet up at the theatre in Freyr to go on and hit up a few places. So while there's no real set order or anything (this is like... half mingle, half log...) here's a few ideas;

CLOTHES SHOPPING of course. You have to get smelly if you're only staying in the outfit you arrived in...

SOUVENIR SHOP well, Shion's going to be sticking big hats that say I VISITED ASGARD onto everyone so have fun with that.

GAMES SHOP aka picking out board games and all that... stay away from the strip poker.

LUNCH TIME just beware that if you get a burrito, Shion isn't paying for a hospital trip for your bad bowel movements. THE REST OF IT IS ON HER.

GENERAL HANGING OUT AND WALKING AROUND aka you can all annoy each other or pester Shi or window shop and stuff like that. Whatever people do when walking around and hanging out.

RESULT at the end of the trip, you can notice that a few of the spring flowers nearby have begun to saturate in a little bit of colour. It might not be too noticeable in the city, since it's always changing, but IT HAPPENS.

Essentially there's not much of a posting format, just... go hard, make threads, throw Shion in a pond, try to put cat ears on Yozora, etc etc!! ]

[ Ange just walks along as she listens to the other girl - really, she doesn't much about just how uncertain Ririchiyo is about it, she's just attributing the little bit she does notice to the other girl being awkward about this topic in general. The end is a little strange though, yes, with her saying that yet not sounding surprised.. huh.. ]

That does sound like Shiki. [ he's the guy who definitely would insist on that, right? ] But.. more than saying I have a 'type' or anything like that [ awkward once more ] it's just that.. well, he's kind. And being around him is nice..

[ yes, she's awful at putting into words why she likes him, forgive her - it's the awkwardness about the whole topic. ]

[refute]

W- When you say it’s “nice”, in what way is it as such? [ it was awkward and, hell, she knew that. Ange was, however, at a slightly higher level than herself when it came down to the matters of love and all of that fluffiness that makes some people gag. ] I- I think I may have an idea but, for example, does your heart beat irregularly whenever you’re around him?

[ it was funny how she was asking these questions like some kind of love professional when everyone knew she wouldn’t be with Soushi had Ange not given her that extra push she desperately needed. true, talking about topics like this make her feel nervous but all in all, she was learning to handle it better bit by bit. ]

[entreats]

Now you're making it sound like I have some sort of ilness. [ But it's just her usual retort merely for the sake of it, she does know what Ririchiyo means - and why she's putting it that way too, since she did the same that time they talked about her liking Soushi, right? ]

But.. yeah, it's a little like that. When you're around a certain person, you can't help but feel something like that, something much different from when you're around other people.. Something like that, right?

[refute]

With a line like that, you’re reminding me of the me back then. [ saying this made her somewhat embarrassed as the blush slowly began to highlight her cheeks. by now a magical time-skip has happened and they are now drinking their coffee or tea because otherwise they’d be standing around forever waiting. ] But... it is true that you feel stronger emotions around the person you like. ^H-Hmph. I wouldn’t use the word ‘love’ since that’s just... [ embarrassing is what she wanted to say, but the word was stuck in her throat. ]

... ‘Love’ is something to be saved for when you know that life without that person would be unthinkable. I-It’s something to use when you m-move in together. [ and, just on cue, her stuttering on the topic seemed to come in play. love woes... ] I wouldn’t necessarily ask me if it’s the right feeling or the wrong one -- I’m hardly a professional on the subject of l-l-lovers.

[entreats]

When you like someone, you just like them, right? To use the word 'love' for that.. that's fine by me. It doesn't have to be anything necessarily as serious as that, although I suppose I don't mind staying with him for as long as I can. [ aka spending her life with him.. ] It's been one of the more enjoyable things in my life so far after all, so there's no way I'd want to lose that again..

[refute]

[ Ange was in love with Shiki. In fact, she wasn’t doing the best of jobs trying to cover up how she felt but whether that was deliberate or not... well, she’d probably never know for certain. She listens to what Ange had to say while being reminded of the current relationship status between her bodyguard and herself. It was funny because she felt like the two of them had reversed roles from back then -- that “then” being that one time she posted anonymously on the network. ]

You really do care for him a lot. [ this was said more as a statement as opposed to asking it as a question. ] It’s nice though, isn’t it? To feel that way around that one person. It’s almost as though you don’t have to carry all that weight by yourself anymore. You have someone who wants to understand you better and help you carry all those dreams, worries, and fears you keep hidden away.

[entreats]

.. It's sounds so corny when you put it like that.

[ Even though she knows it's the truth and it's pretty much what she told the girl too when she made that anonymous post about Soushi. It's just her downplaying it a little now to keep herself from getting too embarassed. ]

But.. yeah, it's nice. And of course I care about him, why would I like a guy if I didn't care for him to begin with..?

[refute]

[ For the first time, Ririchiyo let out a semi-giggle, semi-laugh as a true smile graced her lips. It was nice, hanging out with Ange like this and talking without any secrets being involved. It was a refreshing experience for her and something that gave her a good feeling in her chest, almost as though her heart was swelling with too much of something. But it wasn’t anything bad, so she wasn’t too worried. ]

It does sound corny, doesn’t it? [ Regaining some of her composure, she looks directly at Ange. ] But it’s true though. Even if it comes out corny, it doesn’t change that it’s the truth. ... I’m really happy for you, Ange. To find someone like that... there isn’t a single feeling out there that can compare to that. I think Shiki can help you a lot. I think he can help regain your smile.

[entreats]

.. Says the one who's laughing here, right?

[ It's slightly like Ange's usual deadpan remarks, but it's not fully meant that way - after all, it's rare to see Ririchiyo like this, even she can realise it, so to see the other girl being so openly happy.. it's definitely a good thing, so even Ange can't help but thinly smile, partially hiding it by staring down at her coffee. ]

[refute]

Mm. You make a good point.

[ It was amazing how happy she felt right now, just talking so openly like this. Even though Ange was trying to hide it, Ririchiyo noticed the thin smile on the other girls’ lips. She decided not to comment on it, but she would admit that it would be nice to see Ange’s smile more often. ]

But that is what I think. Since he makes you feel happy now, it’s only a matter of time before he sees that smile. [ You might want to change the topic before she embarrasses you Ange.. ]

[entreats]

[ Too late, she's already embarassed.. hence why she quickly takes a sip from her coffee instead. ]

You're saying it like seeing it is some huge deal.

[refute]

Then, tell me, when was the last time you smiled? [ And the smile is gone only to be replaced with an expression of disbelief and innocent curiosity. ] You’re always giving out deadpan remarks, and every time with a perfectly neutral expression. Granted that you can answer me that, then I would have to argue and say that a smile from you is a huge deal.

[entreats]

Does it seriously matter either way?

[ The quickness of her answer shows that she's trying to avoid answering. Although whether it's because the other girl is right or the answer is just embarassing in general is anyone's guess. ]

[refute]

[ The quickness of the other girls answer was something she found extremely curious. Why did she answer so abruptly? But being someone who didn’t like it when nosy people meddled in other peoples’ affairs, she decides not to question her any further as she shrugs her shoulders carelessly, her default neutral expression plastered on her face as she looks out the window at all the natives walking past with no destination in mind, aimlessly wandering. ]

Not really. [ Her response was simple and blunt. ] It’s none of my business, so it’s not my place to pry. What’s more, I hate the meddlesome type. What’s your business is your business and no one elses.
