Re: Mission 18.1 - Winter Leave

Mall

Bors was lost in thought during the cab ride, his mind occupied with random memories of little importance aside from nostalgia. He was jerked back into reality as Natsumi dragged him out of the cab and into the shopping center.

As he was dragged from shop to shop he thought that this scene might be funny to the other mall patrons, A tall muscular Nepleslian being dragged from shop to shop by a small white haired neko. When Natsumi finally stopped to go try on some clothes all he could manage to do was nod and mumble an agreement.

Bors walked around he shop checking out a few shirts that he liked as well as a few jackets. After a few minutes of poking around and trying stuff on, Bors finally went to the checkout counter to purchase his things and exited the store. Exiting the store, Bors looked in his bag to make sure they hadn't missed any of his purchases."black shirt, jeans, leather jacket, boots." Bors said to himself before looking for Natsumi, who he'd lost track of when she went to go try things on. After a brief search he spotted her exiting another shop and made his way over giving a slight wave to signal that he saw her.

"...I think I like...orange. Mmm..." Murakami nodded, seeming satisfied.

"I guess I need a pair of pants, too. Um...I don't think I'm the leather jacket type, Suzume-chan. It would look fine on you, though."

"Hmm... Well you go and try these one," Misato pointed at pile that Mimi-chan had in her arms. "I'll go and try to find you some slacks, and maybe a nice dress." she muttered the last bit and turned before Mimi could react.

She wondered about in the store looking for something, she found some basic slacks, nothing really all that exciting, but she grabbed a few. on her way back to the changing rooms she found a nice light orange dress, Misato didn't really care for the color in the dress but she grabbed it anyways for Mimi to try on.

She returned to the changing room and waited for Mimi to finish trying on the first bit.

Onsen Pool

Hanako positioned herself so that the slightly murky hot spring water was above her shoulders, keeping most of her body out of the winter air. "You can sit next to me if you would like," she invited Sune. "Come and tell me more about what you think of me, Sune. At the mall, you said I was frustrating and stubborn," Hanako smiled.
 
Re: Mission 18.1 - Winter Leave

After a few more trips in and out of the changing rooms, Mitsuko seemed to have her outfits selected.

  • Two heavy sweaters
    Two pairs of slacks
    One heavy dress (black)
    One light dress (orange)
    One long, black jacket with wool lining
    One set of boots, gloves, scarf and hat

Satisfied, she decided to wear one of the outfits out of the store. Her uniform was stowed safely in the backpack Misato had thought to bring, along with the spare coat. Murakami was also going to have a few more bags to carry already, and they hadn't even started shopping for gifts yet! Currently she had on the thick dress under the warm jacket, the black accessories also trimmed with warm wool. The hat seemed a little big for her, but she wasn't wearing it or the other accessories while they were still inside.

"D-do I look okay, Suzume-chan? Was there anything else you needed to pick out?" She lugged her armful up to the counter, seeing what else her roommate was bringing. "I'll pay for all of this here...are you still sure you want to buy this outfit?" Mitsuko glanced down at the warm, comfortable and very concealing new clothing she was wearing. Looking back up at Misato with a smile, she couldn't help but be slightly distracted by the sight of a small, familiar Neko carrying her own collection of bags right outside the store. As Natsumi met up with Bors and his one simple bag, she giggled and pointed behind Misato at the scene playing out through the store window.

Misato looked Mimi-chan over and smiled "Looks good on yha, nope I have all i want, can't think of a thing I could bring with me and bring me any more joy. " She followed Mitsuko up to the Counter "Naw I got it all, Happy Yule" Misato quickly handed over her Credit Id and payed for everything before Mimi could do a thing or argue.

Looking out of the store window she saw Bors and Natsumi, "now don't they make a cute couple. You want to go and join them or would you like to go and grab a bite to eat?" She knew her alone time with Mitsuko was going to be fleeting, but still, she didn't want it to end so soon.

"Listen ma'am, I can't take this for free." Luca said as he tapped the money card on the counter, having selected some fashions for his daughter and had them wrapped up. They were Nepleslian fashions normally considered somewhat distasteful by Yamataians, but remade with a bit of Yamataian flair and ingenuity - making them more comfortable whilst retaining the practicality and ruggedness. In effect, they'd been homogenised by that cuteness and softness that pervaded Yamataian culture - counter to Nepleslia's ugliness and hardness.

"But sir, I insist in return for saving my sister from Drift." The cashier said, bowing profusely towards Luca. Obviously there were some further reaching positive consequences for his actions than he'd anticipated. "When she told me how she got away, she said you were there."

Luca rolled his eyes, his expression appearing exasperated. "Good for you, good for your sister." He replied in deadpan, pushing the money card towards the cashier's hands with his index finger, "Just take my money, will you?"

He paid for the clothes like an honest person and left the store. He passed by Mitsuko, Misato and Bors, carrying a bag of shopping. Luca was whistling the opening bars to the theme song that was on his brand of energy drinks. He made a mental note to figure out just what was in those drinks, whether it was safe and reclaim his brand.

Mitsuko blinked at the comment, before letting out a squeak as her roommate sprang into action. "H-hey, wait!" She grabbed for Misato's hand, but it was already too late. Blushing, she crossed her arms and gave the other Neko her best grumpy pout. "Hmph." Her scowl stuck around until she'd gathered up her bags and began heading for the exit with Misato. "You were only supposed to buy one thing, Suzume-chan. I can't let you pay for all of this stuff..."

She shrugged, bags rustling, and broke into a smile instead. "I'll just have to buy you a really good present to make up for it!" Murakami giggled. "If they're here, they must have missed lunch with the captain too. We said we'd meet up with them, so we should probably all go eat together. And then we have plenty of shopping still left to do." She poked her head out of the store, idly noticing the whistling as Luca strode past the two groups just about to meet up.

Onsen Pool

Sune moved over to the bench that Hanako was seated at. His additional height meant that the water came only up to the middle of his chest. The occasional snow flakes that made it to his skin gave him a mild case of goosebumps.

"You can be frustrating and stubborn, those are two good traits to have in your position. They have helped you survive what you have. You are also confusing, you belong to the most powerful clan, but for the most part you only use your position to take care of the people who serve under you.

I have seen you in the heat of battle, a fierce force to be reckoned with. But I have seen you when you have been vulnerable. You a a women of deep feelings, passionate and resolute when you feel you are right.

Not to mention you are a very attractive woman, who knows how to make an entrance." he said with a grin running his hand along her lower back.

Misato stopped in her tracks and looked at Murakami, she spoke softly but firmly, "You do not Have to do, buy, or say any thing in trade for these. I bought those cloths because I wanted to and wanted you to have a few nice things. After that last mission I now know that the spark of our lives can poof out at any second, Who's to say we can be revived in new bodies. I do things because they bring me joy, I have no need for the funds." Smiling she looked down at her feet, she hoped she didn't just frighted her friend.

Mitsuko slowed to a stop, having to stay quiet and lean in a bit closer as Misato spoke so softly. Tears started to well up at her roommate's tone. "...d-don't talk about things like that, Suzume-chan..." She sniffled a few times...and as Misato was distracted, she moved forward, flinging her arms around the taller Neko, giving her a mighty squeeze.

Of course, this slung her bags around behind Misato as well, flying close enough that the breeze stirred Natsumi's hair, the bouncing baggage ricocheting off Riko's back. She was too busy once again squeezing the breath out of her roommate to realize she'd nearly knocked over the pair they were supposed to be meeting up with. "Don't talk about d-dying! Especially not on vacation! You're getting a big present and staying alive to enjoy it! And that's final!"

As Mimi-chan Squeezed Misato, all she could think of that this was the greatest gift ever.

"Y..Yes ma'am" she smiled. She hugged Mitsuko back tightly. After a few moments of blushing she looked back down at Mitsuko, "Yes well lets gather them up and go looking for some food." She turned and noticed some guy, he looked like some one she had seen before, but she couldn't place where from. then she saw Mimi-chan's bags laying around the feet of Bors and Natsumi.

+Natsumi spotted Bors waving at her, smiling, she made her way to him, a multitude of bags in her hands.

"Hi!" she said as she got to him. "Ooh, looks like you found some stuff!" she added, seeing that he had some bags of clothing of his own. "Is there anywhere else you wanted to check out, or did you want to get some lunch?" she asked. All the shopping had been making her hungry.

Just then bags went flying all around them, just missing Natsumi and crashing into Bors' back and scattering all over. "What the-!" she squeaked, then noticed where the shopping bag bombardment had come from. Mitsuko squeezing Misato, who looked like she was about to burst from the pressure.

"Oh, are you okay?" she asked her roomie, then waved to her shipmates, "Hi Misato-San, Mitsuko-San!"

"Yeah I'm fine, takes more then a few bags to take me down."

Bors said, rubbing the blank spot on his tattooed chest threw his uniform. Turning to see who had hit him in the first place he noticed Mitsuko and Misato.

"Well arn't you two cute, going around the mall throwing shopping bags at people. Better make sure security doesn't catch you or else they might have to call your parents to escort you from the mall for misbehaving."

Bors laughed a bit at his own joke before looking back at the two. "i'm only joking, I'm pretty sure that the Shosho would have a good laugh if mall security got ahold of her, and as for lunch i could go for a bite."

"Yha well if I'm going to get kicked out of here it'll be a lot more spectacular then an accidental bag release." She stuck her tongue out at Bors. "When have you guys found all the cool things you were looking for. Also what do you guys want to look for food wise?"

Misato picked up her roommates bags and handed half of them over to her roommate before taking her free hand to hold. She gave Mimi's hand a light squeeze.
 
Re: Mission 18.1 - Winter Leave

Mitsuko sniffed a few more times, relaxing her grip once Misato began to loosen hers. "...mmhmm. Food." She nodded, then started to realize she wasn't holding onto all of her bags at the moment. She shrank down a bit as Natsumi and Bors spoke, cringing more as he teased them. Finally she slipped free from Misato, bowing low repeatedly. "I'm so sorry! Yamashiro-san, Bors-san, please forgive me!"

Murakami began gathering up her bags, still ducking quick little bows in with her work, managing to pick up half before her roommate handed over the other half she had recovered. Eventually she was able to stand, bags in one hand and Misato's held tightly in the other, blushing as she used Misato's taller frame to mostly shield her from the other pair's view.

Hanako leaned over against Sune's side. "I know you to be rational, kind, and calm. You are loyal, creative, and strong. These qualities allow you to complement me and temper me, making you a wonderful first officer...and now more than that. I think we fit each other. I also think you have grown greatly since I met you. You may not have had a childhood but I think you to be nothing less than a whole, real person."
 
Re: Mission 18.1 - Winter Leave

Natsumi watched as Mitsuko overreacted, bowing, apologizing and gathering up her bags.

"Mitsuko-san, there's no reason to apologize to us. Bors was joking" she sais and lightly socked her rommie on the shoulder. "Weren't you?"

Natsumi smiled at Mitsuko cheerfully and offered her hand, "Now lets all go have some lunch."
 
Re: Mission 18.1 - Winter Leave

Onsen Pool

Takeyu had kept out of the pool for awhile, wanting to give Hanako and Sune some private time before his sisters decided to crash the party and have some fun.

When he was confidant that walking into the pool area wouldn't cause any problems, he waited outside of a dressing room for his sisters to come out, all ready to go. Sakura looked nervous, being pushed along by Layven, when the two girls were out - they looked at Takeyu with curious eyes who smiled at them and patted the two on the shoulder.

He brought them over to the pool, where he could hear light chatter going on between Sune and Hanako. He didn't say anything though, not wanting to disturb them as he waded into the water
 
Re: Mission 18.1 - Winter Leave

Onsen Pool

"Well, I like to think it is because I have had good people in my life to learn from." he replied as heard the sound of wet feet on the pool side.

"Is there someone I should speak to regarding us? To get permission to court you? Or is that unnecessary?" he asked.

He looked over to see Takeyu and his sisters entering the pool. Where are the others? I figured for sure most of the older Nekovalkyrja would have arrived. I do not know about the newer crew members.

"Takeyu, Layven, Sakura how nice of you to join us." he said smiling.

With out letting go of Mimi's hand Misato lead the group toward Food court, "Well folks what do you all want for foods, I wouldn't mind burgers but I wouldn't mind trying something else?" She kept putting on her fake smile, inside she still still felt troubled but the warmth of Mimi's hand gave her the strength to hind her dark thoughts.
