a very important date

[tsundyne]

Who: Yukari, Serph, & Cielo
Where: Starting at the Embryon base. Then we are winging the fuck out of this.
When: Yukari's biiirthdaaay aka backdated to the 19th, after these.
Style: tl;dr in brackets--
Status: Closed.


[It isn't really unusual for Yukari to take a while, getting dressed for the day. She is pretty much your typical girl, and though she was close to graduating before being whisked away here over a year ago, she never quite made it out of that high school mindset where appearances matter.

She's only given herself a half an hour this time, though, and that includes travel time to the Embryon's base, too. Maybe she'd rather not spend her time in this empty dormitory if she doesn't have to; maybe she's rushing herself a little, but nevertheless, she makes sure she looks more than presentable, donned in her favorite colors and shades.

She also takes special care in putting on a certain special necklace that Minato had given to her as a present, this very day last year.

And after taking one last look at herself in the mirror, she hurries off, tucking her SFC away as she walks off towards the forest quadrant.

Who would be the first to greet her?

. . . Well. Either way, they'll be greeted with a much more mellow and subdued Yukari than the excitable one from earlier texts. There's a sigh that escapes her lips as she allows her mind to wander.]

Jeez. I'm gonna be late, aren't I . . .

[Ah . . . oh well.]

Comments

[tsundyne]

[Yukari nods, acknowledging Cielo's question as she nudges the two of them to get closer. She sees your lineface, Serph, you better at least smile a little for the picture!!]

I'll show you. Here, stand together and hold still.

[rainbowarch]

[That sounds simple enough. Cielo is immediately at Serph's side.]

Like this?

[bufudine]

[Well, since Cielo did the moving, Serph doesn't move. He tilts his head, but remains :|

There better not be flash on that camera!!]

[tsundyne]

[Calm down, protag baby, it's auto and there's plenty of light that flash isn't necessary. She pulls the camera up to her face with her finger on the button and smiles herself, as if to set an example.]

Perfect. Now smile!

[She'll give them a moment and then--



Click!]

[rainbowarch]

[And he's going to give the best smile possible. When the camera clicks, he holds it for a few more seconds before moving.]

Is it done?

[bufudine]

[Huh wha-- Serph smiles, but it's brief, fleeting, a slight upwards curl at the corners of his mouth... and gone by the time Yukari clicks the camera.

Hey, he did smile. Yukari was the one who didn't tell him for how long!!]

[tsundyne]

[Before answering Cielo, she'll take a look at the picture herself on the digital camera's screen; and then she just kind of shakes her head a bit as holds it out to them, so they can see it too.

Something of a teasing smile appears on her face.]

Well, at least someone did what I said.

[rainbowarch]

[Wow, that's them!]

Still looks good.

[Don't worry about Serph, he just needs to get better at this.]

[bufudine]

[ :| you gais. Serph tilts his head.]

Is there a way to get the picture out from your camera?

[Into a, you know, more physical form?]

[tsundyne]

Oh--

[Right, she should explain that, too.]

Yeah. Once we're all done, I should be able to hook it up to a computer and print copies. As many as we want.

[rainbowarch]

[Yay! It's nice to know computers can do nice things that aren't be complicated door security locks and such.]

Hey Serph, where would we put the pictures?

[Pictures go on walls! Do they have a good spot in the base for them?]

[bufudine]

[But when computers break down, does punching them fix them? Serph considers the question for a moment.]

The ground floor.

[That way everyone could see them when they entered the base. Perhaps as a reminder of the good fortune they have here. But now that he's answered the question, Serph turns to continue walking towards the Ferris Wheel.]

[tsundyne]

[If punching computers could fix them, there would totally be a lot less computer problems in the world. But in any case, the line is moving, so when Serph continues walking, Yukari does, too.

They're almost at the front now.]

Not a bad idea. Maybe you could get a frame for it or something.

[rainbowarch]

[A frame? Oh, she means a picture frame!]

That would make it look nice.

[They can't just nail it to the wall.

Well, they could, but it would look bad.]

[bufudine]

[Serph nods, agreeing. But hey, look they're at the front and they're taking the last carriage before the Ferris Wheel goes on its little trip.

Serph steps aside to allow the other two to have first pick of the seats.]

[tsundyne]

[Yukari isn't particularly choosy about this, though she does want to be able to look out and get the best view. So she'll pick a seat next to a window, glancing back as the other two make their way inside.

She does realize something, though . . .]

I guess Cielo gets this kind of view all the time.

[Hope you don't get bored, bro.]

[rainbowarch]

[Cielo picks the seat opposite from Yukari's and immediately, he's looking out the window as the carriage starts to move. They're not very far off the ground yet, but he imagines that the view is similar from the ones he gets when he stands on the roofs of buildings.]

Not one as relaxing as this.

[bufudine]

[Serph, on the other hand, doesn't get this view very often. The only times he's really been higher up were when they rode Cielo to get away from an exploding ship, when they climbed the Karma Temple (whose view was obscured by distance) and when they climbed the Karma Tower, but they had more important business than taking in the view back then.

Although Serph starts out just ~*casually*~ looking out the window, he eventually abandons it for practically leaning against the window. He might be hogging the view just a little bit, especially with the fox ears. But he's giving Yukari a good view of his butt-- oh too bad the fox tail is in the way.]

[tsundyne]

[Damn fox tail --

I mean, ears. Yukari peers over them in an attempt to enjoy the view, though eventually she just stands. The Ferris wheel carriage rocks a little bit, but otherwise it's an action that is mostly unnoticeable.

. . . Those rides sure look small from up here.]

Hey. From up here, we can decide where to go next.

See?

[She laughs a bit, as if it were a joke or something, but it's really not. Quietly, she wonders if anything will get their attention.]

[rainbowarch]

[The view is similar to what Cielo's seen before. He does enjoy his companions' reactions to it though!]

Remember you get to pick though.

[You're the leader today, remember?]

[bufudine]

[Serph eventually stands aside so Yukari can see through the window better. He also places a hand on her back to gently push her forward towards the window.]

[tsundyne]

[For a moment there maybe it feels like Serph really will push her out -- but luckily no, her view just improves instead. It's Serph's own way of encouraging her to pick, just like Cielo, she supposes . . .

So she stays quiet, contemplating.

Decisions, decisions.

. . . Suddenly, while her eyes gloss over a pretty vicious looking rollercoaster nearby, it drops down one of its hills and there's loud screaming from those on the ride.

It's a bit hard to tell whether they're having fun, totally terrified, or both. But either way, Yukari seems to perk up, turning her attention to it.]

[rainbowarch]

[When Yukari looks at the roller coaster, Cielo does too. Oh, that thing looks...looks...

...totally awesome! Oh please pick that Yukari please please please!]

[bufudine]

[Serph had been watching Yukari out of the corner of his eye. When it looks like something's caught her attention, his gaze follows hers.

. . .

. . . . . . Well he's not opposed to trying new things. He points to the rollarcoaster.]

That one?

[tsundyne]

[Wait, what??

She was just looking! Ahh, and it seems like Cielo wants to go on it, of course. He's excited, she can tell . . .]

W - Well, I've never really been on one before. All my friends were always too scared, y'know? [Yep, friends, totally her friends. Not her. She laughs a bit; maybe she can stall.] It's called a rollercoaster.
