vatheon | a very important date

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.]

[When they get closer, Cielo can see the cotton candy more clearly. Huh. What strange looking food.]

What's the difference between the colors?

[Well excuse you, Yukari! But the last time he talked about kids, Gale thought he was talking about goats so it's best to make sure??

Serph kind of peers over Cielo's shoulder at the cotton candy. The most popular colour seems to be Argilla pink, but there's plenty of Cielo blue, too.]

Uh . . .

[Since it's almost like eating air, a part of her maintains that it doesn't taste like much at all -- it's more about the texture. But to say that, and then in the same breath explain that the two colors are two different flavors --

Well, that would be pretty confusing.]

Well, they taste a little different. We can get both and you can decide for yourselves. How's that sound?

Sounds good to me.

{And right as Yukari suggested it, it's their turn in line. So Cielo orders one of each color.]

[It doesn't take very long for them to receive the cotton candy, which gets handed to them. They get at least two each of differing colours, Serph getting yellow and purple. Serph eyes the wad of cotton candy on a stick for a moment before taking a bite out the side of the purple one.

Or attempting to, anyway. He ends up getting a small smidge of candy on his nose.]

[Yukari only wants pink, really, but since Cielo's getting differing colors too, she goes with pink and blue. She can pretend like she's eating Cielo's hair or something. It takes no time at all for her to get them at all, and with one in each hand, she immediately starts trying some while Cielo's getting his.

She steps to the side and waits, looking pleased.]

[Cielo looks from the cotton candy in one hand then to the other. Choices. He starts with the pink one. Does he just bite into it? Okay...here goes...]

That's really sweet.

[Serph lets the flavour sit on his tongue for a moment. He doesn't even really get the chance to swallow it because it's almost like it's melted away, leaving behind a wad of sugary after taste.

He holds the stick of purple cotton candy away from himself for a moment, before commenting, eyes still on it--]

It's like eating flavoured air.

[That smidge of cotton candy is still on his nose.]

That's a good way of looking at it.

[Yukari smirks a little. Since she's had some before -- albeit not in a very long time -- she isn't surprised by its flavor, and eats it like she does any other guilty pleasure snack.]

Is it too much?

[Too sweet? They don't have to finish it if they don't like it.]

I think it's okay.

[But it would probably be a bad idea to eat a lot of it in one sitting.]

[It's not really Serph's thing. He's not terribly keen on having his second one.]

Do you want my second?

[His gaze flicks between both Cielo and Yukari, making it clear he's asking both of them the question.

And will Yukari take the lead again to the "bumper cars"? Yukari's driving this party, after all.]

[She's leading already, she's leading. Well on their way to the bumper cars, but she stays silent and waits for Cielo to answer Serph first. She predicts that he'll probably want to let her have it, on the count of her birthday and all, but still -- no harm in giving him a chance.]

[Cielo has finished off his own cotton candy by now and it shows with bits of it still on his face.]

If Yukari doesn't want it, I'll take it.

[Serph holds out the spare cotton candy for whoever's going to take it.

Come get your candy, kids!

Wait, that sounds kind of wrong.

...Well, Cielo and Yukari can fight to the death for the candy instead--]

[NO, NO, IT'S OKAY.

She's always looking for excuses to shove sweets onto other people -- she likes to at least pretend like she's watching her weight.]

It's all yours.

[She says it in a bit of a laugh -- and before they know it, they're in line for the bumper cars. She wonders if it seems as horrifying to them now that they're up close.]

[DON'T MIND IF HE DOES. Now that he has permission from Leader (both of them) Cielo helps himself. He eats it slowly, however, because he's entirely entranced by seeing the bumper cars up close. It's kind of weird when the point is to purposefully ram another vehicle...for fun.

But it looks like the people who are already there are having a great time. And nobody's getting hurt.]

[Bereft of the hefty weight of fairy floss, Serph watches the bumper cars. It's so strange that collision causes them to... bump off each other, rather than cause serious damage. He supposes it's from the slow speed, though he can't help but notice the thick attachment that runs around the entire of the cars that seems to cause the bouncing. Made of rubber, perhaps? That would explain it.

Could the cars function outside the rather small rink they were contained in? Or is this activity only fun because of the tiny enclosed area?

Serph is watching the carts go rather intently. But with the current group's time ending and clambering out of their cars, it's time for them to get in!]

[They look so contemplative about something that's supposed to be mindless fun. Hehe, but oh well. When it's finally their turn, Yukari steps in, following the line of people, picking the girliest car available. She's putting her hands on the steering while, while looking around to see what cars Serph and Cielo choose.

They all look pretty similar though, aside from a few color choices.]

[Cielo doesn't really mind color, so he chooses a car near Yukari's and gets in. It's a very simple looking device. The wheel steers it, obviously, and that pedal must make it go.

...it doesn't look very dangerous now that he sees one up close.]
