[ Hi, Lunatia. Have a somewhat bored looking woman here, sort of gong bonkers sitting in this new apartment or exploring at random. She isn't good with this whole preventing herself from going stir crazy thing, but has for once opted to reach out and take other people's recommendations instead of meddling her way through. ]

So far as settling in here, I need a few things. I was hoping someone might be able to offer me a good suggestion or two to look in to on a few items so that this isn't.. quite so jarring.

[ Spoilers : it'll be jarring no matter what going from a glassed-in, engineered Utopia to a nuclear wasteland to a place that's not too far off Romdeau barring, you know. Lack of social and genetic engineering. So hey, up and up.

Long, pale fingers are counted on as she goes through her items: ]

One, I need a place to shop for clothing. I can't keep wearing these things every day.

Two, I'm going to need a place to train or, maybe, a trainer. Getting back in to a fitness routine now that I'm not on the Rabbit every day will be an improvement, I think.

Three... [ She pauses, seems to waver on this one, and finally comes out with it as if it's begrudging : ] ...I guess I'm going to have to learn to cook at least somewhat. Without Iggy or Vincent I'm at a loss, here. So, if anyone can give me instructions past a 'pinch' of salt in water for noodles, I'd appreciate it.

If anyone has anything to offer on any of these I'd appreciate it.

[ A curt little nod, and the video ends. ]

[On the screen is a young man sporting a pair of cat ears atop of his head. If that's not obvious enough, his cat tail can just be seen, idly moving behind his back. There's a look of obvious interest in his eyes, because oh boy, one of his favourite topics!]

It really depends on your style, but there's heaps of shops in PrismaPlace! And Caihong have some stores with different types of styles.

[realimperfect]

I'm open to trying different things. [ Might as well, now that she has the chance, right? Bright colors and frills will probably still not be her thing, but she mat give it the good old college 'try' so to speak. There's a part of her that wants to ask about the ears, etc, but.. she stops herself.

At least for the moment. ]

More than likely, though, I'm going to default to black.

[saigawa]

Black, huh. You can make it your main colour, and wear accessories and other things to look good.

[Unless she wears all black, then... okay. It's not his style, and it's her choice in the end.]

Well, I usually wear red, but lots of stores would have black clothes. It usually can match with almost any colours.

[realimperfect]

[ Let's go with mostly black, sometimes purple, and lots of blue eye shadow. ]

That's the bonus of it, isn't it? But typically I prefer darker colors.

[saigawa]

[Good thing this is a video, he can see her eye shadow. Hmmm...]

Alright, here's a few I know with plenty of dark clothes.

[He list a few store names, because of course he would memorise them. And I'm too lazy to think up actual names.]

Their styles are a little different from each other, so you'll have to check for yourself.

[realimperfect]

[ Honestly 100% fair.

Re-L takes notes of the places he lists, at least, happy enough to spend a day browsing stores if she needs to for what she wants and her staples, of course. Most of her shopping will end up being black in color, though. Most likely. ]

I don't mind browsing the racks... I'm going to have to build up a new wardrobe anyway, whether I want to or not.

[saigawa]

[He thinks for a moment, before he nods as if deciding. But first, he'll ask! Honestly because he haven't see a reason to start barging in like an annoying friend.]

Do you need any help with that?

[realimperfect]

Shopping isn't difficult. [ She shrugs. A lot of her life before had been shopping between assignments anyway, but, since he's asking - ]

Or are you implying that you'd like to come?

[saigawa]

That's right! Shopping's fun if you doing it with a friend.

[Or a poor sucker to carry the bags.]

If you don't mind, of course.

[realimperfect]

It wouldn't hurt to have another opinion on fit, at least.

I can reach back out when I have a date in mind for shopping.

[saigawa]

Got it!

I'm normally free most of the time. I'm a Cordis, so I can't exactly guarantee being free during that time, or the three moons.

[realimperfect]

I need to.. look more in to these moons.. [ Especially because it annoys her to not know what to expect. She likes predictability! ]

I'm Sanguis but I'm not entirely sure what that means.

[saigawa]

You should. It'll make your life a lot easier.

[Kind of. As in knowing what to expect.]

Sanguis... I think one of the animals is a wolf? So you probably act like a wolf.

[realimperfect]

A wolf? [ She pauses, humming slightly in thought, and then admits : ] I suppose that means more when you know what a wolf is.

[saigawa]

You don't know what a wolf is?

[Which is...! Actually possible. He thinks for a moment.]

Then do you know what a dog is?

[realimperfect]

No. Pets weren't a common thing, in Romdeau.

[ A pause, and then : ]

I've seen holograms, but that's it.

[saigawa]

Huh, I see.

[Hm...]

Well... a wolf looks kind of like bigger, wilder dog. But you don't usually keep them as pets.

[realimperfect]

[ Re-L pauses to think that fact over, though... well. She's still not sure how that relates to her, as of yet. ]

I'll keep it in mind. I still don't know what exactly that comparison means on the whole but I suppose it could become clearer with time.

[saigawa]

Yeah. I think you'll probably get it once you experience it for yourself.

[Although, would it make sense or become more confusing since she have no idea at all?]
