15strangers | WEEK 1

[Now that the initial shock has worn off, there's no immediately obvious danger, and going back to sleep hasn't caused her to bolt awake from a nightmare, it's time to get serious about exploring this place.]

[First, there's clothes and other supplies. The GREEN STAR T is obviously her favorite piece of non-dance-shoe clothing ever, and it's paired quite fashionably and practically with her overshirt, skirt, and legwarmers, but she can't wear that every day. Not when she actually has to interact with people, anyway. Therefore she can be found wandering 1E window-shopping at the clothing stores.]

I don't think I've ever had this many options before. The only thing that'd be better is like...a machine that changed your look whenever you wanted it to. I mean, that's impossible, but it's the only way I could get through everything I wanted to look at here...

[Unless someone interrupts her, though, she's just going to settle on something boring from Basic Brown's Ms. rack for now. She has no idea how long this money is going to need to last, after all.]

[For lunch, Joey will head to the food court and immediately get distracted by the video games in Barcade before she has a chance to eat.]

Oh wow, they have everything here. Pac-man, racing games...ugh, gun games, ninja games...wait, what's that? It's...it's beautiful...

[Someone has found Dance Dance Revolution, or some equivalent, and may now need to be force-fed lunch.]

[Once that's over with, though, she's going to put some extra thought into getting out of here before anyone decides to get their stab on. Not that she doesn't trust these random people she met yesterday, but obviously, everyone wants to leave, and she should do her part, right? She decides that Mosaic in the food court looks mightly suspicious, and starts poking around the tarp. She's not quite gutsy enough to poke around too much in an Under Construction area without a buddy or a pursuing monster, though.]

[ Well, um. That was certainly a first day. Ren had later requested some cigarettes, because holy Arceus, he thinks he needs a smoke right now.

His prayers apparently answered, he can be found smoking in the men's restrooms throughout the day, in between searching the home improvement center and the pharmacy center of Yotsukoshi for various sundry items later in the afternoon.

When he's not wandering around talking to other people or doing any of that, he can be found in one of three food places: near Anto Jitos during the day, where he's ordered some coffee and huevos rancheros while looking rather pensive, at the cat cafe in the afternoon, where he's...not eating anything, but just here for a drink and a good hour or two with the cats, and at the conveyor belt sushi place in the evening.

There, he's tried a handful of different things, but has kind of shoved a plate of tobiko over to the side, immediately regretting his decision. They don't have tiny-ass eggs in his world, okay, he had no idea what that even was. ]

[ Closed to Croix: She was worried for Croix, so the first thing she did after she'd gotten an admittedly fitful rest (part of her had hoped this had been a dream, but reawakening to the starry blue and yellow bedroom display of her room confirmed she was still here, and certainly not in Luna Nova. Alcor was not there to wake her up for food as always, and she put her glasses back on. She sorely was in need of a shower, she felt, but she was in more need to find Croix, so she left her room immediately and went looking for her after trying to wrangle her hair with a hairbrush she'd bought earlier. ]

[ It's worth noting that by the time Ursula begins her day, and well after seeing Croix, her hair is now the brilliant shade of blue you can see in her profile on the phone.

She can be found early on during the morning in the various clothing stores, yawning, trying to decide on what she might want or what might... suit her best, and a lot of these are... very unsuiting for her tastes. She eventually ends up in High-Scale, looking at some dresses, particularly the blue ones. She can also be found in 69 Moons afterwards, looking out at the blue clothing selection there curiously, too. She seems to be looking for something... athletic.

After that, she's set about into Yotsukoshi, checking areas that contains a places to buy food and other such things, she can be found searching the varying stores to see if there's any books. She really does have her heart set, and she wants more than anything to find some reading material.

Later, around lunch time, she can be found at Un-Steak My Heart getting a burger and some fries to-go. She seems intent on taking them with her someplace, and that someplace is Cat Nya-Land. She stays there for quite some time, until eventually leaving to go find Croix again, in the hopes of probably aiding her in whatever she's doing.

She returns to Room 5 around eleven at night. Not too late, but not too early, either. She's an in-bed-before-midnight kind of woman, but you can probably catch her then. ]

[ Ursula catches Croix leaving her room to get back to work. She freezes. Ah. Chariot. ]

...Hey.

[ It's uncomfortable. But she'll keep walking, though Ursula is free to follow. ]

... You ran off on me last time...

[ What does she say? What can she do to make this less awkward? ]

... What are you doing?

[Akechi didn't so much get distracted, as wander into the Barcade while looking around the food court. It's not as though he intends to actually play anything...not while anyone's around to see, anyway. But he can look around...and spot someone staring at the DDR machine like it's God's gift from Heaven.]

Is this the first time you've seen a dancing rhythm game?

Isn't that caviar? It looks like caviar, just that it's...orange.

[Britt makes a face of disgust at that. He's thankful his father never was into rich-people food like caviar enough to force it on him]

I'm going to go get something to eat before I get back to work, of course.

[ Why are you following her, this is awkward, why are you doing this ]

...what? It's just the DDR machine. You never saw one in person before?

[ Because you ran away earlier? Her step falls in line with Croix's, although she seems nervous, folding her thumbs around one another over and over. ]

I... I want to come with you.

[ Please let her come with you. ]

...All right, Chariot. What do you want for breakfast, then?

[ It's... Uncomfortable, but also familiar. ]

Anything is fine. I just wanted to check on you.

[ If she's being honest, she was worried. ]

How about the café? We can grab some tea from the grocery to make before we go, since you don't like coffee.

[ ...She's getting used to it. And she's definitely softened since the fight before. ]

[ She actually very much appreciates that, and it makes her smile a bit. ]

You remembered that?

[ ... A-ah, she's surprised. ]

That sounds wonderful. Don't worry, I'll pay for my own things.

[ The hair dye and peroxide wasn't cheap, but it's... it's fine. ]

Black tea, no sugar or cream.

[ A smile. ]

And don't worry. Because I don't have any powers, I was given money in compensation. I can afford some tea.

[ ...They have to talk eventually. They can't dodge around it forever. ]

[ They'll talk over breakfast. She's... trying to figure out how. She doesn't wanna upset her again. ]

... Isn't that a little strange?

Eh, I can deal with it.

[ Come on, to the grocery! Let's get you some tea. ]

I think I would rather be dealing with what you have and get my magic back. I feel so lost--I keep trying to cast spells to help the others here, and then realizing I don't have my wand...

[ She might be moping, just a bit. ]

I don't have any magic right now. It's strange. I feel cut off.

[ It's one thing to not be able to access a ley line, but not feel magic at all is... ]

... Yes. Whatever this replacement they've given me is--it's no substitute for the actual thing. I feel disconnected. It's so... disconcerting. It makes this place feel so... lifeless.

[ She hates it. ]

Granted, it's a mall. I suppose "life" doesn't exactly grow much in malls, but...

Yeah. Maybe it would feel better if there were any trees around, but...

[ She shakes her head. Oh here's the tea section. ]

Pick which one you want.
