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.]

Comments

[goldenglasses]

[If he notices he doesn't say anything about the look.] Yeah? It looks kinda like a guitar. With less strings.

[therewerefifty]

[She assumes a guitar is just a similar instrument (and she'd be right) but her mind is on other things.]

Is this the only store where people's belongings are brought?

[goldenglasses]

Well, there's this, the clothing store, and the smith shop. But mostly just weapons show up there.

[therewerefifty]

[Ah. Well, that makes sense. She did see a sign for a forge out front; she'll try there later.

...when she's ditched Vash.]

Thank you for your help again, Mr Vash.

[goldenglasses]

Anything for you! Is that really all the stuff you need from home? Not missing anything else! I'd be happy to search this place all night for you if I had to!

[therewerefifty]

I was under the impression we only came here with the things we were carrying. [Her tone is faintly teasing.] I have everything. Though I do appreciate your enthusiasm.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, but sometimes things we weren't carrying will show up too. So you never really know what you'll find in this place sometimes.

[therewerefifty]

Really? What kind of things?

[goldenglasses]

Hm, well, just about anything really. I found my music player in here once. There's snow globes, silverware, packs of cards, toys, and just about anything you can think of.

[therewerefifty]

So it's worth coming back occasionally to see.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, never know what weird items will show up. Doesn't always have to be yours either. Sometimes just really strange things will show up from time to time.

[therewerefifty]

I'll have to keep that in mind.

...but none of my things are here now, so I think I will be all right now, Mr Vash.

[goldenglasses]

Do you have a place to stay yet? You can stay with me if you want!

[therewerefifty]

[....uh.

That's. Really kind of forward. She just blinks at him.]

[goldenglasses]

Heh! Or not! I'm sure this place has a lot of empty places in it! Like my apartment building! I know there's some empty rooms there!

[therewerefifty]

[...heh.]

I see. Thank you for the suggestion. Which building is yours?

[goldenglasses]

I'm on the fourth floor of community building four! The only one on that floor at the moment in fact! So lots, and lots of space if you need someone to live near!

[therewerefifty]

That's very thoughtful of you. Thank you, Mr Vash.

{Can she leave yet :|a]

[goldenglasses]

[Psh. No.] You're most very, very welcome! I could lead the way to my place if you wanted to see it for yourself!

[therewerefifty]

Ah... no, that won't be necessary. You've done enough already.

[goldenglasses]

Oh, don't worry about that! A true gentleman's work is never done!

[therewerefifty]

[A true gentleman would know when to take a hint, you big jerk ;_; Makie's really at a loss for something to say, now. So she sort of looks a bit lost and glances around the street as if in search of distraction.]

[goldenglasses]

Hey! Are you hungry! I know of a great restaurant around here! Well, actually, it's the only restaurant! AHAHAHA! But the food is still good!

[therewerefifty]

...you mean that one? [She reaches a hand up to point in Seventh Heaven's direction.]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah! That's it exactly! So! Are you hungry?
