Characters: Kasuga and YOU
Location: In/Around/On top of(???) Holocaust Mall
Rating: PG/PG-13
Time: Nov 18, Mid-Day
Description: After the battle Kasuga is in need of need of new clothing and so... very unsure.



While Kasuga had spent night after night since her arrival through the shopping district, flitting from one building to the next, she found actually going there to shop to be incredibly daunting. She had spent time on top of the Holocaust Mall, how hard could it be to go inside and just get what she needed? Yet, that seemed to be the problem.

Since her clothing had torn in battle, Kasuga had found a simple happi to wear temporarily until she found something else. What she needed was something easy to move in, something she could work, train and battle in without a worry that pieces of clothing would fly loose or snag on something as well as hide her kunai in easily.

After a deep breath the blond kunoichi stepped into the mall, eyes going from one storefront to the next nervously as she clutched her hand to her chest and nervously eyed the display in each window. It became clearer than ever that she did not understand the wears of the people of Death City. Perhaps it was futile to go alone without the aid of someone that might know what they were doing.

After speaking with Taskasugi for awhile, Tsubaki had taken to the rooftops to travel through the more crowded parts of the city. Even deep within the shopping district, the rooftops were usually empty, and relatively quiet in comparison to the bustling streets below.

At the moment, she was standing atop Holocaust Mall, sitting on the edge of the building. To most it might look precarious, but Tsubaki seemed perfectly at ease here, enjoying the breeze that came with being up so high.

Leaving she shops, though not on duty Kasuga's eyes automatically sized up the area around her before she jumped from one landing to the next till she crouched down on top of the building. Without the extensive cover of tree that her own land offered, she had found that her preferred method of travel was across the buildings until she reached her destination.

What Kasuga had not expected to find was that someone else had found a comfortable spot upon the very building she often perched on top of when the city was quiet. Her first instinct was to reach for kunai and expect an attack, but upon closer inspection she noticed the girl as one of the officials of Death City itself.

Standing, Kasuga adjusted her happi as she stepped forwards, unsure if it were okay to disturb the girl's peaceful moment by approaching her or whether she would be better off leaping to the next building and heading to the place she called home as long as she was here.

Though her senses weren't as sharp as Black★Star's, her training still allowed her to hear footsteps approaching from behind, but she didn't sense any hostility from whoever was approaching. With a simple turn of her head, Tsubaki glanced over her shoulder at the woman who had arrived on the rooftop, blinking once before smiling at her.

Tsubaki didn't mind sharing the roof, especially with a fellow ninja. All the ninja she'd met from other worlds had been perfectly nice to talk to, and meeting another didn't bother her in the slightest.

"Hello," she said, her expression open and friendly.

Kasuga stopped in her tracks, slightly startled that the woman had even heard her coming. Though she wasn't particularly trying to be stealthy, it was something that came naturally at this point. That and Sasuke was usually one of the few who could actually detect her from a long way off.

After blinking several times, she bowed her head slightly, "Forgive me, I hope I did not mean to interrupt."

action if you do not mind!

[Pokes from behind!]

no :| get out

[ablushingblade.livejournal.com]

[ Caught up in everything, the sudden prod caused her to start and whirl around, expecting something much more than Shal. The tension quickly left her body, though she stayed on her guard as she crossed her hands over her chest and attempted to hide her embarasment at letting someone sneak up behind her. ]

Shal-- I did not-- I did not see you there.

[DON'T WORRY, I'm kind of like a ninja except not really, hohoho]

I'm surprised to see you in a place like this!

If you don't mind, action?

[Kasuga, you're now getting carefully tapped by a pretty young boy. Ruby couldn't not see what was up after noticing her looking so confused.]

Do you need some help, miss?

not at all! and forgive me for the delay ;;

[ablushingblade.livejournal.com]

[ Blinking, Kasuga whirls around to face the young boy. Was her confusion that obvious...? While feeling extremely unsure about the situation, surely it wouldn't hurt to at least tell him what she had come for. ]

Ah-- Perhaps... I am in need of new clothing, yet I am unaccustomed to such... [ she trails off, glancing at the nearest store and the clothing that's displayed in the window. Jeans? Shorts? T-shirts? She doesn't get it. ]

it's okay, don't worry! ;;

[sewfashionable.livejournal.com]

[THIS IS TOTALLY HIS THING, awww yeah.]

Is there a certain kind of style that you want? [Once he knows that, he's pretty sure he could easily direct her in the direction she had to go.]

Koujurou had been on the way to the Holocaust Mall to pick up some supplies when he caught the flicker of a familiar shadow through the corner of his eye. The swordsman immediately paused and turned his gaze upward, scanning the point where the horizon met with the tops of the buildings.

It wasn't too long before he spotted what - or more like, who - he was looking for.

"Kasuga-dono!"

[ablushingblade.livejournal.com]

The kunoichi had caught sight of the older man before he had even seen her. In one swift motion she joined him down at a normal level, ending in a crouch. As she stood, she offered her usual polite bow to him.

"Katakura Koujurou. It has been some time since we have spoken." At least a week, she noted, but time was hard to keep track here. It went by so fast to her as she spent day after day in such a direct routine.

[forbearanced.livejournal.com]

"It has been, yes."

A small smile touched Koujurou's face as he inclined his head towards Kasuga in greeting.

"I trust you have been well?"

Two derpy blonds walk into a mall?

Shizuo was fairly unphased by the fighting from the previous day. Hearing about the injuries people have sustained in the city, and the insane amount of deaths in other cities had left him with a bad taste in his mouth though. His anger at the kishin had been bubbling inside of him and was reaching near boiling point, and rather than stay cooped in his and Motochika's apartment, he'd decided to get out and get some fresh air.

Grinding his teeth slightly, he stormed in whatever direction his feet decided to take, eventually finding himself outside of the mall. He ran a hand through his hair and growled slightly, muttering something incomprehensible under his breath and trying to keep a lid on his built up anger.

god help us all?

[ablushingblade.livejournal.com]

Shizuo's demeanor easily caught Kasuga's attention even from the corner of her eye and long before she recognized the somewhat familiar voice. It was almost as if his anger could be felt from a mile away and to a woman such as herself, the way she followed his movement out of the corner of his eye was only natural.

It wasn't until she realized that it had been the partner of Motochika (he was a stop sign most of the time, after all), that she turned her body in order to watch him directly. As she neared, she debated whether to call out to him or let him storm on by without noticing her.

Mind made up, Kasuga took a deep breath before she stepped forward. "Excuse me-- It is Shizuo, correct...? I-Is everything alright?"

This is either amazing or terrifying.

[trashcancrash.livejournal.com]

Shizuo's muttering and pacing didn't stop for a while; in fact they seem to increase in speed and volume until suddenly his fist shot out and smashed into a nearby decorative plant pot. Amazingly, the pot doesn't go flying through the air and crash into some unsuspecting shopper, but it does shatter down one side and send a cascade of potted dirt all over the floor and Shizuo's feet.

"... Shit."

Shizuo's hand tangled in his hair, and tugged once before letting out a sigh. Digging in his pocket, he pulled out his cigarettes and started to light one before it even registered someone was calling his name. He glanced around, one of his hands clicking his lighter against the end of his cigarette, and he pauses when he spots Kasuga.

Unlike her, Shizuo doesn't really have the memory for names... voices... sometimes faces, especially given the first time he'd seen her she was a bladed weapon. So his face remained pretty blank.

"... Ah?" Pause. Blink. "Oh. Everything's fine."

The broken pot and scattered earth clearly shows this is a lie.

"... Sorry. Who're you?"

Malls~ Stripp loved malls oh so so much. And so, after getting sometime for herself after those awful happenings, she decided to rest the best way she could: buying clothes. Two bags in her hands, strolling oh so happilly, she noticed a nervous woman looking around.

Like the kind person she was, Erotica Jones approaches Kasuga. "Hello!"

[ablushingblade.livejournal.com]

If her nervousness wasn't enough of an indication, the way she jumped slightly should have indicated just how out of her element Kasuga way. "H-Hello," she said swiftly, bowing slightly while she kept her eyes on the other woman. From the looks of it, it would seem she, unlike herself, actually knew what she was doing here. Curiously, she eyed the bags that she held in her hands.

[erostripperella.livejournal.com]

"Do you need help? You seem a bit lost." Stripperella offered Kasuga a friendly smile and tilted her head to the side curiously.

♥ I can't stay away from you!

Seeing a familiar figure in the mall, Lucy perked up and straightened herself out, raising her arm and giving an obvious wave. "Kasuga!" she called out; her voice resounding clearly, allowing her cheerful demeanor to be transferred through her entirety. Her lips curving into a smile, she jogged lightly over to the blond ninja.

But, as Lucy came closer, her smile faltered. Was she imaging things or did Kasuga seem a little troubled and...maybe even nervous? Cocking her head to the side, she asked, "are you okay? Did I catch you at a bad time?"

aaa! squee! this pleases me! :D

[ablushingblade.livejournal.com]

Looking round, Kasuga quickly found the voice that had called her name out. It had been unexpected, yet not unpleasant to see the other woman approach her. As it were, Kasuga knew so few people and those she spoke to most often did not exactly seem the mall going type unless they truly needed something.

The small amount of tension that had left her body at seeing a familiar face promptly returned at Lucy's question. "Ah-- N-No! It is not that..." she trailed off, glancing away slightly in a sort of shame she could not explain. Nervously, her fingers fiddled with the hem of the happi she was wearing. "I... am in need of clothing... I-I am afraid I do not know what to look for her."

[celestialistic.livejournal.com]

A huff of air escaped her lips as she smiled in relief. As long as it wasn't anything life-threatening or heart-breaking (Death City seemed to have a lot of the two) - this was fine.

"Ah, you did mention not being accustomed to the clothes here..." she trailed off, putting some careful consideration into her words. Ah, that's right. "How about we look around together. Though, I don't know much about Death City, its fashion doesn't seem so different from Fiore. Plus, having some girl time out is always nice." And, just in case her words weren't nearly reassuring enough she grinned, giving the thumbs up.

"Leave it to me, okay? I will definitely be sure to give you the best advice!"

Action unless you prefer otherwise!

[Sendo had to do a little clothes shopping too, now that he had saved up a bit of money. It sucked that this place couldn't just bring him here with his entire wardrobe as well.]

that's fine! \o/ ... and sob I am so sorry for the tl;dr, it just kind of happened T_Tb

[ablushingblade.livejournal.com]

[ If Kasuga had a wardrobe, perhaps her line of thought would be much the same. However, she did not see it necessary to keep clothing for the sake of clothing. A few outfits, if any, was all one such as herself really needed. Though, at this point she had truly wished she had thought ahead in picking out several articles of clothing to simply keep in her closet if such a need arose.

As the ninja let her eyes follow the line of stores, she caught the man she had spoken to once before. If memory served her correctly, it had been a pleasant enough conversation that perhaps speaking to him now would be justified.

After but a few moments of deliberation, Kasuga approached Sendo. Only, she wasn't entirely sure how to go about striking up general conversation and ended up standing there awkwardly for several seconds before she realized what she was doing. ] Ah- H-Hello.

No problem at all! X3

[naniwarocky.livejournal.com]

[Sendo caught her approaching out of the corner of his eye and he looked over to her. When she just stood there silently..it did start to feel a bit awkward. He was about to finally and speak and say something to her but she beat him to it.]

Hey. Kasuga, right? [He remembered speaking with her before. She was one of the first people that he talked to after he arrived!]

You out here doing a little bit of shopping too? [Because why else would she be at the mall? Unless she was just walking around and exploring the place like he had done when he first arrived.]
