You Find Yourselves Stirred By A Voice....

[strangerpeople]

[You feel as you are on a fluffy cloud of warmth and the urge to not want to move is great. However, the voice speaks again as if it is urgent...and maybe angry?]

Damn brats! Get off the merchandise before I call security on you!

[Oh. Well.

When you come to, the familiar scenes of your bedrooms fill your sight. However, the barriers are gone and strangest of all, there are people around. They can SEE you and for sure, they are gawking at the weirdos that are somehow sleeping in department store beds. But on the hands of Croix and Chariot, there's something on their hands...a phone number and a message saying 'Call me! :D' from some weird girl with an A name. But when you finally move and get away from any nosy customers, you have to wonder 'What just happened?' 'Is everyone ok?'

And why do you have the urge to go visit Cafe MYJL?]

[Coco giggles.] I totally know some good places out in the city here... Oh oh! But, do you mean, like, on a date~?

[incrediblystressedout]

Um...

[Deep breath come on Joey.]

Y-yes. I mean exactly like on a date. If that's okay! If you're not interested I totally understand and want to keep being friends, but...well...if I didn't at least ask, I was going to regret it for a long time, you know? And after all the stuff that happened here I really don't want to leave any regrets hanging.

[Coco giggles, waving her hands around emphatically.]

Noooo, like, I'm totes interested! I really like you a lot! You're like, sooo sweet and totally cute in your unique way.

[She rests her chin on her knuckles, and a moment of smiling at her passes - it definitely makes her happy that she's been asked out now, though there is something a little bittersweet under the surface. After a moment she speaks again.]

Hmm, I guess if there is one thing I dunno about, though... I heard you, like, tell Ursula or someone... I think it was her, you wanted to take me away from here! That's, like, kinda romantic and all, but I hope you understand that I'm, like, serious about what I do as a Reaper. I don't need to be saved from it! It's, like, seriously my life's work and I'm gonna keep it up somewhere else if I can't do it here. Maybe like, back in Shibuya.

Sooooo if you're not cool with that... it might not work out. I don't think it's a problem myself! You're just really different from me and that's, like, part of your charm. I just wanna be sure, k? Is that all right?

[incrediblystressedout]

[Joey shakes her head, even waving her hands a little in embarrassed emphasis.]

Oh no, no, that's what I felt before I understood what was really going on here. This is your job, and it's a really important one! I'm not going to "rescue" you from that any more than I'd let someone "rescue" me from being a vet. You're helping people, and enjoying it, and that's what matters.

[She does have to think about it for a second.]

I am pretty different from you, I guess. This might have worked out better long-term if I'd...well, I'm not going to worry about long-term. That would be pretty presumptuous, for one thing! You still have ample opportunity to decide I'm weird or pushy or have a bad taste in movies or something.

But...after all this, I just want to take things one step at a time and see what happens.

[greatfascinations]

Yay! That's totally all I needed to hear. I mean, it's a first date and everything. Omigosh, I'm super excited! [She even starts jumping up and down!! But she stops after she gets it out of her system.]

Your taste in movies, huh? There is a movie theater here that none of you really went to ... but I know you wanna get outta here, so we could like, get some desserts. I know a place that makes cute ice cream parfaits! Or, um, do you like cheesecake? That's totes my fave.

[incrediblystressedout]

We can do a meal and a movie, if you like. I just need to get out of this place for at least half an hour before I go back to being an American teenager stereotype.

And cheesecake sounds perfect, actually. I can't remember the last time I had any.

[Her dad may be sort of loaded, but do you know any cheesecake places that deliver to creepy mansions? In the 90's?]
