Afraid to lose control, caught up in this world

[couldntpullthetrigger]

Who: Yukari Takeba and OPEN
When: Sometime in the first half of April, after the intro
Where: About Capablanca
What: Ingredient'in'
Rating: Despite the 'doing it raw' joke I want to make, there should not be anything worth warning for



[You know what Yukari really wants a break from? The fact that she spent like two days mopping up sap and bird crap from that stupid stronghold, and hasn't had a chance to go to the beach, or even really get to know the resort town.

This is cruel in kind of a different way. Who starts a war in a place like this?

She supposes she can't be too surprised - their 'enemies' did start everything with that attack on what should've been a peaceful international exhibition.

Regardless, she likes being on the beach, and she wants money, so a call for people to pick up ingredients shouldn't be too bad, right? She can get to know some of the locals, explore around a bit, and help out - while making a little spending cash.

... Except the chef has some stupid taste; so one can find her in one of two ways:

1) at the beginning of her job: before she knows the chef is really... particular. In this case, she's about as much hanging around window shopping as she is picking up real ingredients.

or!

2) a couple days later: when she finds out the chef is a hardass and didn't like half of what she brought him. So now it's kind of personal, and she's a little miffed. So, basically, back to being Yukari.

Catch her whenever!]

[ Souji has been wandering around the market, doing his own fair share of window shopping. This is before he decides to head on out to gather the chef's ingredients, so really, much of browsing is for himself (and perhaps for Cream-san too, who's just riding on his shoulder, wrapped around his neck). He was wandering the flea market side of the bazaar when he sees a familiar looking tsun and he walks up to approach. ]

Window shopping?

[couldntpullthetrigger]

[Excuse u.]

Hiya. Doin' something like that. These uniforms are okay, but I'd rather have something else... Casual clothes and stuff.

[tarotcards]

[ It's the truth tho, tsun-san. ]

Mm, yeah, it would be nice. [ He's been resorting to sometimes just taking off his blazer and going around with the t-shirt instead. ] Did you see anything you like so far?

[couldntpullthetrigger]

[Don't ruin your chance, protag]

A couple of things? But I need more money before I start throwing it around. I like the beach-fashion here, though. They've got some cute stuff. [She motions toward some of the upcoming summer outfits. Ironically, Lovers Arcanas - at least between 3 and 4 - seem to share taste in clothing that amazingly doesn't cover much.

Unfortunately for Sooj, Yukari will destroy him for pointing it out.]

[tarotcards]

[ Why does she deny the truth? She'd be awful against her Shadow. ]

[ Also, Souji knows better than to point out the obvious of the outfits. He has some tact and he maxed out his knowledge so no need to cause any trouble. He'll just nod in agreement. ]

They look like they'd suit you. [ Cute clothes with a cute girl, right? ] Did you pick up any of the job postings on the bulletin? They don't pay too well but it's better than nothing.

[couldntpullthetrigger]

[Don't even get me started about how dead the entire SEES team would be against their own Shadows, and Yukari'd be one of the first to fall.]

Yeah? I hope so.

And yeah, I'm actually out looking for some ingredients for that chef-guy now. There's just a lot of cute stuff to look at in this store!

[tarotcards]

[ SEES has a real serious problem... A really big one. Have they considered seeing someone for this? ]

Chef Sayram, right? I saw his ad too. [ He was thinking of doing that as well. It seems simple enough. How hard could it be, right? ] How about we browse this store for a bit longer before we work together to find him some ingredients?

[couldntpullthetrigger]

[Yes, they all need therapy, no, they've never got it.]

Yep, that's him. [That's also what she thought. She figures she can tell when meat is more or less fresh, and when veggies are, too. She's been taking care of herself for long enough.]

Alright, let's do that. You get tired of your uniform, too?

[tarotcards]

[ Maybe instead of Souji joining SEES, they should come join the Investigation Team instead... Things are happier over on the P4 side. ]

A little. They're nice, but a bit too formal for my tastes. [ He doesn't mind uniforms or suits, but it's a little excessive when he just wants to socialize. ] It's getting really warm now as well, so it's pretty stuffy in this.

[couldntpullthetrigger]

[So much happier. OH WELL.]

That's what I thought. Plus we... kinda stick out really badly. I don't mind helping people out, but...

It's constant sometimes. I'd like a break.

[tarotcards]

[ He nods. He can understand that. He personally doesn't mind too much, but a break is nice, especially when he's just trying to social link with someone. ]

The natives here really like us. They seem to truly believe that we're their Heroes.

[couldntpullthetrigger]

Yeah. It has its ups and downs.

Like... what if we can't save them? What if something comes up and we can't win?

... What're they gonna do if they realize we're all just people, too? [Wow, did it just get deep in here?]
