Action

[therewerefifty]

[Makie has had the facts of this place explained to her already, by a gentleman in a... fairly awkward situation.

It doesn't prepare her for the reality of a village with occupants like none she's ever seen before. Some of you aren't even human, Luceti. The hell. She wanders the path of the village from Community Building #1 down toward the plaza still in her New Feather dress, just like a gawking tourist, and spends some time staring at the fountain and plaza itself. Uh.

...right. Okay. Time to begin glancing through various shops in her attempts to find the places she was told her things would be. She finds her clothes with a measure of relief, and her shamisen at the item store-- and after she picks it up, she frowns. It's too light. She doesn't need to open it to know she's missing something.

Eventually, she'll find her way into the forge to pick up the last of her things, pays a visit to the Welcome Centre-- and then finally fetches up at the tea shop, which is the most familiar-looking thing here.

...sort of. Never really loses that dazed and confused look.]

It's really not necessary, Mr Vash. [Not to mention kind of disturbing. What kind of man wants to go through a womens' clothing store looking for her clothing?

...you know what, don't answer that. As it is, when she walks in, she can pick the distinctive dark colours of her kimono already on a rack on the opposite wall. But how to deflect this possibly kind, possibly creepy man--]

...if you really must, I cannot see my geta. If you would be so kind as to look for them while I change, I would be most appreciative.

[goldenglasses]

Yes! Leave that to me! I will find your geta in no time flat! Just you wait! [And he goes zooming off, towards the coats before he actually stops and turns back-]

2/2

[goldenglasses]

...what is a geta?

[therewerefifty]

[Well, she managed half a step toward her kimono. Oh. Dear.]

They're shoes. [How to describe.] Sandals. Open toe, with a thong that runs between the toes. [She makes an upside V motion with her finger.]

[goldenglasses]

Shoes! Right! Of course they are! Don't worry! Vash is on the case and they will soon be found! [And he turns his direction back to where the shoes are kept. Talking to himself under his breath as he looks through them.]

Open toe sandals. Thong between the toes - those! Nope. Those aren't them.

[The obi is folded across the bar just underneath the folds of her kimono, and Makie spares a thought of gratitude that at least her clothing was treated with respect. The shawl is here, too. Her travel bindings are gone, but then again... they're not exactly necessary now. She can make new ones if need be.

Makie folds her clothes over one arm and glances back to Vash, then uncertainly around the room.

...there. A small room with a door that looks empty. She can get changed in privacy. The door closes after her with a soft click.

Happy hunting, Vash.]

[goldenglasses]

[It takes him a little time to find what he thinks are the correct shoes and once found he parks himself just outside the door Makie is changing in. Part of him is tempted to try to sneak a peek under the door, she really was pretty hot, but showing up in Luceti is enough of a shock for one person in one day. He keeps himself in check as he waits for her to come back out.

Holding the shoes of course for her inspection like a proud puppy for when she comes out again.]

Are these the right ones, Miss Makie!?

[therewerefifty]

[Makie opens the door, fully dressed-- and takes a step back again as shoes are kind of... right there... wow, Vash.

But after a moment, she smiles.]

Yes. [She reaches out a hand to take them, bending to slide them onto her feet.] Thank you for your assistance.

[goldenglasses]

[Yay! He did good! He's so pleased with himself!] Thank you! I was happy to help! What else can I do to help you, mistress?

[therewerefifty]

Please, you've done enough already. [Properly dressed, she feels less vulnerable. And she's more sure that Vash is just...over-eager now, not trouble.] You've already pointed the way to the rest of my belongings.

[goldenglasses]

No problem at all! After all! Waking up in a place like Luceti all by your lonesome is no fun! It's much better if you have someone to help you out! I don't mind at all! Think nothing of it!

[therewerefifty]

[...]

Do you know a gentleman by the name of Rock Lee?

[goldenglasses]

Heh! The guy with the green suit and big eyebrows? Yeah! He wanted me to be a teacher of sorts to him once. He's a bit of an excitable guy if you ask me.

[therewerefifty]

What sort of teacher?

[You've very similar.]

[goldenglasses]

You know, I'm really not sure. [Gun-fighting.] I think it might have been competitive eating and then napping.

[therewerefifty]

[...o. kay then.]

I'm sure you'll excel at being a teacher. [Moving for the door.]

[goldenglasses]

I don't know I've never tried being a teacher before. [Vash goes ahead and rushes forward so that he can hold the door open for Makie.]

[therewerefifty]

Perhaps you should. I'm sure there are many in the world who would benefit from learning the fine art of napping.

[goldenglasses]

Ahahahaha! You know! You raise a good point! I bet there are people who could benefit from my life lessons when it comes to the fine art of napping!

[therewerefifty]

[...heh.]

Thank you for your help, Mr Vash. [Out into the plaza she goes.]

[goldenglasses]

Oh! You are most welcome Miss Makie! Anything to do to help! [He's still following around like a puppy. You'll have to do better to be rid of this man.]

[therewerefifty]

[...seriously :| Makie isn't all that surprised, mind. But as she's not sure what she thinks of him, she just ...sort of tries to pretend she hasn't noticed him following her. You'll have to carry this conversation, Vash.]

[goldenglasses]

[Unluckily for Makie, but luckily for Vash is that he's use to being politely ignored so he has no problem following behind her just a few short feet away and holding a one man conversation if he must.] Is there anything else you're missing? We could probably find it in the item shop!

[therewerefifty]

I already asked you about my shamisen, Mr Vash. {Remember.] Thank you for the directions. I believe that's all there is left.

[goldenglasses]

Oh, yes! Of course! You uh, thing! I didn't forget! [And he didn't. He just was making sure she hadn't thought of anything else or had decided to head elsewhere first.] Let me get the door for you! [And once more he's running forward with the biggest grin on his face.]
