Location: Around Death City
Rating: G
Time: 28th June, afternoon
Description: Saya is shopping around Death City

Today was meant for shopping. After being kidnapped, after trying to murder her friends, after being triggered once more, after the gala… she was just exhausted. Of everything, really. Not only she couldn’t sleep (she had chronic insomnia by now, it seems. Not being able to sleep is usual to her) but the events exhausted her psychologically.

So today was a day to shop. She asked Keroro to leave work earlier (and bought few mangas to make up for it) and decided to go on a shopping spree. Mostly to buy things she needed, sure. It doesn’t invalidate the fact that she picked something nice to wear, as well as carrying a backpack (where she keeps several necessary goods in case something bad happens. Like an apocalypse).


OPTIONS:
a) Window shopping and realizing she needs more money in her life

b) Buying her groceries (and a bottle of wine...)

c) Cakes time! Eating cake, reading manga and looking a bit too nervous

d) On the way back home, her groceries fall on the floor

Comments

[sayatakagi]

... Hamel. At least be less of a pig when eating. Saya was about to complain about that exactly, when bhe spoke again and that made her pause.

"Guy dressed up like a homeless snowball......." what in the name of. "How do glow sticks make anything fashionable? They are used to clubbing."

[the_great_hero]

It's a teeny tiny cupcake, it's only one bite. Complaining won't get her far anyway.

"Who said anything about fashiona- wait you can club people with them?" He hadn't realized they were that big. That seemed unweildly. But also kind of cool. "And you can get them at the grocery store?" He leaned in closer to her, expression eager and serious all at once. Hanging on her every word now.

[sayatakagi]

Saya pulled away slightly so he wouldn't be so close. "I didn't say they are there for sure. you can try drug stores or supermarkets because they sound the most obvious seeing they sell all sort of items. And Keroro probably has them, too. Or can get them." it was better to tell him this before he walked into a grocery store and didn't find anything.

But either way - "But yeah. They are used to dance in clubs, because there is low light and it gives the dancing a nice effect, I guess." there was, though, a pause.

"Unless you want to use a glowstick as a light source in case you are exploring or in case a catastrophe happens. Then - that's a whole different type of glowsticks and you can't really buy them so easily."

[the_great_hero]

He was totally going to ask Keroro to order some. "There's clubs for just dancing?" That sounded boring. Except the glowstick part. That part sounded pretty neat even though he didn't get what they had to do with dancing.

For exploring too? Those must be pretty bright. Like torch bright. Huh, maybe you could adjust the brightness?

[sayatakagi]

"Yeah, a lot of them, actually. And all sorts." like strip-clubs. But she wasn't going to tell him about strip-clubs.

"You can dance and drink" and meet desperate people. "I personally don't see the appeal."

[the_great_hero]

Hamel had yet to discover the red light district. He'd been mostly focusing on costuming. When he discovered that what little money he had would disappear.

"Wait wait, for drinking too? Will you show me one?" Booze AND glow sticks? He wanted to see this.

[sayatakagi]

Saya looked at him for a moment. She may blush a little, but she tried not to because of her obvious pride.

"Those are called nigh clubs which means they operate late into the night. A nightclub has a dance floor besides a bar and drinks and even sometimes bar games like billiards." Saya pushed her glasses up her nose.

"I can show you, but not enter. They are not exactly a quiet place and they are definitively something I don't like."

[the_great_hero]

"Like a tavern with a dance floor." He nodded. "And glowsticks." That was the important part.

He blinks. "I thought chicks liked to dance." How loud must they be to drive a girl away. "You don't like the booze?"

[sayatakagi]

"What's your obsession with glowsticks, anyway"? it was weird. Hamel, you are weird.

But yeah, it could be described as a tavern with a dance floor. She really wasn't an expert on the subject, though - one of the few things Saya doesn't know much about.

"I- I'm just lightweight! I can't handle drinks." and dancing in front of strangers is embarrassing. At least like that; she is used to classical dances like Waltz.

[the_great_hero]

"Costumes! I can make them GLOW." He looks absolutely serious and a little like he's so excited he might pee his pants. "Couldn't do that back home. So many more possibilities now."

"So have that bubbly stuff." He waved a hand dismissively speaking of pop which he still just calls bubbly stuff. "You don't have to down ale."

[sayatakagi]

"... most people don't particularly like a suit that glows, you know that, right?" most people. Saya wasn't too sure about how many would but- she never saw anyone walking around with a glowing suit.

"It's called soda." uh... going with someone to a nightclub. Someone like Hamel to a nightclub. Why, Hamel?

"You know, you usually go to nightclubs with a date, a girl you like. Or to pick a date there."

[the_great_hero]

That earns a completely baffled look. "Why wouldn't they want that?" It sounds totally cool. Everyone would want that. She's clearly crazy.

"Right that." He points, and nods. Because of course that's what he meant. Hamel needs someone to take him there. And she may not be happy about it, but who knows sometimes people have fun around him. Sometimes.

"Well then I guess it's good I asked you huh? Wouldn't want to look out of place or anything." He doesn't seem to be considering it a date so much as convenience. "Hey, does that mean I get to dress you up?"

[sayatakagi]

"It's obnoxious." Do you want an answer any more direct than that?

Aha- how did she get herself in this situation. A night club is... well, not that Hamel even seemed to understand what that was exactly.

... ugh.

"Fine. Fine, I will show you." she is a saint, that's what Saya kept telling herself for even agreeing to it. "And it can't be anything too obnoxious, okay? No glowing sticks."

[the_great_hero]

"You mean amazing." He corrected.

He looks pleased and as though this is the way the conversation SHOULD have gone from the beginning. "Great!" And double great because she just basically said he could dress her up. SHIT this conversation was going well!

"It will be GREAT! What kinds of costumes do people wear there?"

[sayatakagi]

"No, I really mean obnoxious." Saya was pretty serious about it too.

The girl took a moment to think, fingers playing with the fork she was using to eat her cake. “Well, it’s fancier than mundane clothing, but nothing like the clothing worn during the gala. Something to call attention, that makes them look beautiful and nice, I suppose.” Saya wasn’t used to describe fashion, since she never cared much about it.

"Nothing too revealing, though." that almost sounded like a threat. It was.

[the_great_hero]

Her opinion on the glow sticks was irrelevant so Hamel ignored it completely.

Her description left a lot of room for interpretation and Hamel was interpreting all over the place. He made a sour face when she told him not to make it too revealing. The whole bonus of dressing someone up with a rack like hers was to accentuate the positive.

"I'll bring something along. When can you go?"

[sayatakagi]

Hamel, you have bad tastes and you should feel bad.

Saya does wear clothes that show a lot of her chest, but she wasn't too sure about allowing Hamel that - who knows what he would make, if she did? But the girl took a second to think about his question.

"Well, how long will it take you to make the outfit?"

[the_great_hero]

This would imply he wasn't proud of his unique tastes. He feels fabulous.

Knowing Hamel he will make something that somehow applies to most of what she said but that she will still hate.

"If you give me your measurements... three days?"
