Characters: Sakura Kinomoto and _____ (open)
Location: Nocturne Bazaar
Rating: G (but might go up depending on what would happen?)
Time: August 17
Description: Sakura's off to enjoy the last day of the carnival and find some things to cheer Neku up with.



Sakura wandered around the carnival, taking in everything with wide eyes. She wished it didn't have to go away or that it would stay longer. Most everyone seemed more cheerful with it here. Regardless, she'd make sure to enjoy it while it was in town.

Slowing a little, she wondered if she could find anything here to give to Neku. The older boy had seemed a little down during their morning jog, and that worried her. He always seemed to take most things in stride.

Maybe she'd get him something at the boardwalk or at one of the booths that sold all kinds of trinkets and such...

[[ooc: Feel free to poke at her! Any format is fine, either action tags or paragraphs. I apologize in advance if I tag back slowly ;;]

The carnival had actually been a nice change of pace, odd creatures bereft of pants notwithstanding, even if Junpei only sat on the sidelines eating corn dogs most of the time. It wasn't as though he really knew anyone besides Minato and some of the people he had been keeping consistent contact with in DEMISE. Despite that, seeing Sakura made him stop and wave.

"Hey, Sakura-chan!"

Puzzled by the sudden call, she looked up, her expression blossoming into a smile as she recognized him. She waved back and approached.

"Junpei-sa --- I mean, Junpei-onii-chan! Hi!"

so much orz

Junpei, naturally, didn't realize he was waving with the hand that was holding his half-eaten meal until he saw that the other hand was empty. He cleared his throat and tossed it in the garbage before smiling somewhat awkwardly.

"What's up? Y'having fun?"

/fails, too ;w;

She couldn't help the giggle that bubbled up at his predicament, though she scolded herself after. It wasn't nice to laugh at people like that.

Instead, she smiled back. "I am! What about you?"

let's all fail together ;A;

"Ummm..." In all honesty, the festival reminded him of things that happened back home, but he wasn't about to wax nostalgia at Sakura. Instead he just nodded and smiled. "It's all good, it's all good. What're you up to right now?"

okay ;A; /social link

"I'm trying to find something for my friend," she explained, feeling a vague sense of nostalgia somehow. Hadn't Junpei made a post about something similar before?

"He seemed kind of in a bad mood earlier, so..." She shrugged a little, smiling a little helplessly.

/s-link powers go!

"Oh yeah?" Dealing with grouchy things and helping out others was always relevant to Junpei's interests. "Hey, did you want some help with that?"

i think we're leveling up at least bit now!

That caught her attention, and she perked up, eyes brightening.

"Yes, please! I was thinking of getting him some cotton candy and maybe something from the game booths, but I'm not very good at games."

yes this is good *w*

[vctryatthedisco.livejournal.com]

The mention of games grabbed his attention immediately. "I can do that! I can win something from one of the booths, just pick something and I'll get it."

What he didn't mention was that he wasn't as good as Minato and he wouldn't get it the first time, but that could have been a letdown.

/o/

"You will? Really?" She clapped her hands delightedly at that. Back home, her big brother or Yukito (if she was lucky!) would try and win her something if she asked nicely enough (or in Touya's case, demanded it from him). The thought that someone here would help her get something for Neku warmed her.

She tugged on his sleeve then. "Let's go see the games then, onii-chan!"

Junpei will now DIE FOR YOU

[vctryatthedisco.livejournal.com]

It was refreshing to be around a person like Sakura, to say the least. Junpei nodded and started walking. "Sure, sure, lead the way Sakura-chan!"

...that would be terrifying for a 12 year old girl, i think XD

[rosy-wings.livejournal.com]

She raced ahead of him at that, laughing, her spirits much higher than they were earlier. She made sure not to go too far though and constantly stopped to wait for Junpei.

She spotted a particularly colorful booth with stuffed animal on display as prizes. It was one of those games where you had to knock down the bottles to win.

"Ne, Junpei-onii-chan, can we try this one?"

Let's hope she never finds out he's actually died before o,o

[vctryatthedisco.livejournal.com]

Junpei caught up and examined the booth before smiling. "Knocking down bottles, huh? Yeah, I can do that. It'll be like playing baseball back at home. Let's try this one!"

Well, no, not exactly like that but he was never one to kill the mood. "I'll try to get a good one for you."

...yeah, that wouldn't go well ;;

"Please!" she chirped brightly, bouncing on the heels of her feet.

She pointed a rather round yellow plush toy that looked vaguely like a bird (http://i32.tinypic.com/2lxv0h2.jpg). "That one looks really cute!"
