[flaredo]

Aiiiii! We're long overdue for a very important mission, so you'd better not be doing anything right now!

voice;

[emotive]

Mission... Oh!

Yes, I'm available right now!

voice;

[flaredo]

Then meet me at the Shopping District! Today is a day for outfits!!

voice;

[emotive]

I'll meet up with you there in a few minutes then! I'm looking forward to trying out a lot of clothes!

voice;

[flaredo]

We'll find you something sexy yet.

[ Click. Yang, don't make that sound so ominous. ]

--> action

[emotive]

[WAIT... YANG... Well, there's no reason to argue against what she can't anticipate!

Some time later, Ai makes her way to the Shopping District, waving at Yang.]

Hello! Did I make you wait long?

action

[flaredo]

Nope, not at all! [ Approaching for a high-five-- ] You ready to shop?

[emotive]

[AWKWARD PAUSE................]

. . .

action

[emotive]

[OH YEAH. YEAH!!

Ai gives the high five very enthusiastically.]

I am prepared and completely ready to focus on shopping!

action

[flaredo]

That's the spirit!

[ After you... almost left her hanging, AI PLS... ]

So are we hunting for dresses first, or whole outfits?

action

[emotive]

Let's try dresses first. The few I did buy kind of got lost in the shuffle of everything that's happened.

action

[flaredo]

... Swept out to sea, huh?

action

[emotive]

My favorite skirt got ruined...

action

[flaredo]

We'll find an even better one! Never surrender, Ai!

[ TO THIS CUTE-LOOKING STORE, IN WE GO-- ]

action

[emotive]

[There is a good balance of cute and cool in this store. As Ai browses, she does have a question for Yang.]

Do you wear dresses at all Yang? I mean at least casually?

action

[flaredo]

Casually? Not so much, but I had to wear my uniform most of the time, and I had a skirt with that. Dresses are more like... event things, for me.

Plus, I feel like they'd suit you better.

action

[emotive]

Oh... [That's a nice compliment and she's pleasantly surprised by it.]

I do wear dresses and skirts a lot. I don't know why I gravitate towards those since in Vietnam it's a better idea to wear pants.

action

[flaredo]

Isn't it just sort of a personal choice? Whatever you're most comfortable in is fine.

[ As far as Yang's concerned, that's all that matters. ]

action

[emotive]

I forget about that sometimes. About having a personal choice I mean.

action

[flaredo]

I'll remind you, then! Today and every day is Ai's Free Choice day, got it?

action

[emotive]

Oh... Oh!

I'll do my best to not misuse my free choices then!

[god]

action

[flaredo]

I think you're already doing fine! Just do what you usually do.

action

[emotive]

[Right, right... Although to be fair, Ai thinks she's been able to do so much on her volition for a long while now. It's quite a thought, being disconnected with the people she's grown up with.

Speaking of which... She did say herself that she wanted to know other people. And she wanted other people to know her. So where to start?? Well!

Ai picks a random dress holding it up to herself before asking:]

Yang? This might seem out of nowhere, but I'd like to ask; what was your world like?

action

[flaredo]

Mine? [ Yang, lazily toying with the hem of a dark yellow dress, glances up. ] Do you mean what it looked like, or--?

action

[emotive]

Well, that too. But I guess, more like... What were you doing before you came here I guess?

The thought occurred to me back in the jungle about how I haven't really asked people about themselves. I really don't know anything.
