if you've got it, flaunt it

[ofsexandwar]

[Like any good metropolitan area, GX!Domino has a vibrant shopping district. Luna has taken to this particular area with aplomb - after the confirmation that the Underground does, indeed, seem active here (though that's going to take a bit more digging), she needs to properly prepare.

Apparently this means restocking on a wardrobe. What kind of impression would she make if her clothes repeated too often, really.

She passes a few outfits - not all of which look like they might fit; she's shopping for two - back behind herself, expecting a certain someone to be there. It's her job and her duty, after all.]

Lily, these too.

Comments

[dearkaiserin]

[She makes a noncommittal noise and gazes around the shop until she spots Luna and Bones.]

...I don't like this.

[gotanyfives]

[She follows that gaze.]

...And? Not much either of us can do about it.

[dearkaiserin]

Mm.

She could have chosen a better business partner.

[She looks at Bones with distaste. He hasn't been overtly awful yet, but...]

If she has to deal in this.

[gotanyfives]

[Or... a less familiar one.]

Any business partner of hers is a bad one. I thought you, of all people, would get that. Tch.

[dearkaiserin]

I do. But some are worse than others.

[She stares intently ahead at them, trying to decipher something of their respective tones.]

This one seems too...friendly.

[gotanyfives]

Maybe that's the mark of a green one. Still too soft.

[Don't be one of... those types, Bones. She can't stand the thought of- someone she used to know, even a double, being so thoroughly corrupted as to be a true suit.

But evidence is proving otherwise...]

[dearkaiserin]

Maybe.

[She looks doubtful, though.

She turns to look at Lily after a moment.]

Have you seen this one before...?

[gotanyfives]

-This one?

[No. She hasn't seen this suit. She hasn't seen this double.]

No.

[dearkaiserin]

...

[Oh. She knows that sort of look. This place makes sure that she'll be familiar with it.]

...but you knew him. Another him.

[gotanyfives]

...

[She looks away, instead opting to watch Luna and Bones.]

Doesn't matter.

How long are they going to take?

[dearkaiserin]

[...she won't push it. Instead, she turns to the pair as well.]

...looks like they're almost done.

[ofsexandwar]

[That they are, ladies, that they are.

In fact, here comes Luna, so any parting shots? Might want to make them now.

Alternatively, if there's an impression you'd like this fine young woman to receive of you, you might want to adopt that pose instead.

For her own part, she seems hurried and mildly frustrated, relieved to be coming back to you....

(~)]

[gotanyfives]

[She regain an air of casual annoyance and a hint of tension when she notices Luna coming back.

But she's done with Kaiserin.]

[dearkaiserin]

[She doesn't change much when Luna returns, apart from the tension in her face smoothing out a bit.]

...

[She does watch her somewhat expectantly, though.]

[ofsexandwar]

[Sorry, reality intruded, girls. Luna remains mildly irritated and - almost apologetic.]

It could have waited....some people, really.

But he's from the hotel. We have to make allowances.

[A sigh, and then her smile returns, looking from one of them to the other. Are you friends yet~? (If not, that's fine too <3)]

Did you discuss at all where you'd like to go?

[gotanyfives]

[Lily crosses her arms. Tch, better not to deal with... him...]

You always choose, anyway.

[dearkaiserin]

[She mumbles something about monkeys before she turns her attention to the question.]

I haven't seen much of the city yet. As it is now.

[In a roundabout way, "Nope, I have no idea.".]

[ofsexandwar]

Well, I'd like to go someplace we'll all enjoy. Shall we drop these at the flat and then have dessert?

[Smile.]

--Ryoko, we'll separate yours, if you've found alternate housing.

[But let it be known for the record she has a nice penthouse and there's lots of spare apartments in her building.]

[gotanyfives]

[...The other Ryoko is moving in. She should have expected that, but-... guh.

Lily just huffs lightly in resentment and shifts her weight.]

[dearkaiserin]

...well.

I would appreciate moving off the fifth floor.

[She looks disgruntled. Apparently this place plays tricks too.]

[ofsexandwar]

Understood.

[She doesn't even crack up at that. Ninth is a much better place, she can assure you.]

Then we'll have to pick up some necessities, as well....but it's spacious enough we should all be comfortable.

[She strides down the aisle, the expectation clear: let's roll.]

[gotanyfives]

[Lily snickers at that. Not that she should laugh at those kinds of jokes, but...

She'll try to make a point of following Luna more quickly/before Kaiserin can. ]

[dearkaiserin]

[She frowns a bit when Lily laughs, but keeps her thoughts to herself, and follows the other two with a quick stride.]
