(GS3) Field: Destroyed Shopping District

[Cipher Izanagi]

At the next day, Seifer, still not having explained what happened a year ago made his way to the shopping center to mill around. Was he actually ready to tell the red head about the War of Liberation? He supposed she deserved to know. Sighing he scratched the back of his neck continuing to walk forward. He'd left a note for her that he was heading out to pick up a few more things that he'd forgotten, like the paper towels. How had he forgotten those? He wasn't sure if she was going to follow him or not when she saw it but he hoped she'd be okay if she did. She would be most likely. Nothing really bad usually happened here. Yawning while walking the male sighed to himself once more. Yet again another troubled sleep. What was it with those dreams? Darkness with... This fear of loss... Loneliness. Whatever it was it didn't matter as much in that moment as he was to tired to really think. Deciding he wanted a drink he stopped by one of the vending machines, popping a few coins in and ordering one of the canned coffees, popping back the tab and knocking it back, drinking slowly. Breathing a sigh of relief as he downed half the can in one go he glanced around with half shut eyes. There didn't seem to be a whole lot of people around today. Probably wasn't as odd as it might normally seem but oh well. It was that sense of quiet that unnerved him at the moment. Opening his cell phone he scrolled down to Tsubasa's contact info and started writing up a text. 'You busy?' he sent the text putting the phone away and going back to walking around with a half full can of coffee.

As Sky sprinted outside looking for an opponent he wasnt watching where he was going he ended up smashing into a young man with brown hair. The impact knocked the coffee out of the man's hand and into Skys's shirt. "Oh man, sorry didn't see you there!" Sky screamed.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia went to bed the previous night with an empty feeling. She couldn't get an answer out of Seifer about what happened before they met just under a year ago. What happened with him and his friends? Something about a Messiah and traveling dimensions... Could that even be possible? And the fact he hadn't really explained anything yet just made her feel that much... left out. Compared to this group of friends, Rosalia was the weird one of the group. She didn't fit in, but.. it was just getting started. She would find her place with the group, since they were close to Seifer, but maybe when school started, she'd find a few more people she could hang out with. Just finding friends is hard enough though... or, making them anyways... Let's just take all of this one step at a time, she thought to herself.

Right now, she was wandering around the shopping district. She had gotten up a little while after her housemate, having seen his note, but didn't quite know her way around just yet. Rosalia couldn't find the store they had gone to previously, and with the day still young, there was plenty of time to learn the layout herself. If she desperately got lost, she could text or call Seifer later. For now, her phone remained in the pocket of her usual dress attire. Today's outfit was a soft blue fabric dress, with a cream colored vine and petal pattern. Somehow it seemed to fit, looking more like a beach dress than a Fourth of July spectacular. "Actually, now that I think about it, what other kind of stores are around here?... I only remember the grocery store from yesterday... Maybe they have a dress shop~" For someone who wasn't used to being alone, it was rather fun to explore for herself.

[Cipher Izanagi]

After being run into and losing the rest of his coffee he sighed in irritation, his left eye brow twitching. Crushing the can in his hand he dropped it into the nearest trash can, grabbing some paper towels out of a nearby dispenser and bringing them back to the male that had just run into him. "It's... Fine. Just watch where you're going next time. 'Kay?" his response wasn't bitter or angry, but he was mildly irritated now. "We should probably get you another shirt and get that dry cleaned... If we don't hurry it'll stain, even if we dry it off with the paper towels." Well now this was going to be a problem but he quietly took out his phone, scrolling down to the R contact list and bringing up Rosalia's name. 'Hate to ask but could you pick up the paper towels? Someone ran into me when I had coffee and it got all over their shirt. I'm going to help them out since it was my coffee. If you can't, no big deal.' he hit send at the end of the text, sending it to Rosalia before motioning to the clumsy male who had bumped into him.

[RosaliaIzanami]

If there was anything Rosalia could find, it was a dress shop. Or a clothing shop with dresses. Whatever the case, she was looking up and down the aisles with an experienced gaze, her fingers brushing over certain fabrics to test their comfort. It was her phone beeping that finally pulled the female out of her tunnel-vision of clothes, seeing it was a text from none other than Seifer. Huh... Oh well. Hopefully it wasn't hot coffee. 'Yeah I can get them. Can you send me the address/directions of the store? I can't find it earlier... Anything else you want me to grab? Oh, and do you need some of the towels for the person's shirt? Not sure how much it'll help.' The redhead replied quickly, then savored the last few minutes she'll have before receiving the impending text from her housemate. Just a few more minutes to find something nice, but she could come back here whenever she wanted. In the meantime, she browsed hairbands and other accessories while waiting.

[Skyzlimitz]

"Yea sorry about that got alittle too excited haha!" Said Sky as he put his deckk case in his pocked and stuck out his hand. "Yea we probably should do something about this stain, Sky Carter by the way pleasure to meet... well crash into you."

[Cipher Izanagi]

'I've got the towels covered don't worry. Thanks.' at the end of the message he typed up the address for Rosalia, which probably wasn't very far from where she already was, and with that, Seifer lead Sky to the nearest dry cleaners, both hands in his pockets. "Seifer Leo. I'll... pay for your dry cleaning I guess. Just hurry up and get it started." he told the other male, crossing his arms across his chest.

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia didn't bother with a reply, but was almost sad at how quickly she got Seifer's second message. She wanted to do more window shopping, or actually try things on, but settled on buying a hairpin for now. It was a rather large butterfly piece made of shiny, white, light-weight metal. She ripped off the tag as soon as she was outside the store and set it in her obnoxious lengths of red hair. Guess that was the perk of just having so much hair; large, girly accessories like the butterfly seemed to fit perfectly with the mass of hair. Though in reality, the butterfly was about the size of her fist.

Looking over the address Seifer had sent her, Rosalia finally got onto her task of the paper towels. Thankfully, she didn't have too much trouble finding the grocery store, and got a pack of two paper towel rolls. "Well, they're light, so I can continue exploring for a while... Its not like I'm carrying around three gallons of milk or something..." the redhead mused to herself. Outside the store again, she glanced at the time while letting her feet randomly guide her way through the district.

[Skyzlimitz]

"Pretty unique name you've got there Seifer." Sky said smiling as the two walked to the dry cleaners. "So Seifer you live around here?"

[Cipher Izanagi]

"Yeah, not to far from here actually." he replied, paying for the use of the machines, leaning back against one and watching Sky. "And yeah I suppose my name's pretty unique. I never thought of it really."

[Skyzlimitz]

Sky's now wearing a Hawaiian shirt that had been forgotten years ago by a customer of the laundromat according to the service's owner. At first Sky was kind of grossed out but he decided it was better than sitting around shirtless. He then sat down and started to look at Seifer trying to sum him up. It was then that Sky saw something that piqued his interest. Seifer had a black deck box in his possession. "You're into card games I see." Sky said pointing to the box.

[RosaliaIzanami]

It didn't take long to find the dress and accessory shop again. After a changing montage and accessory hunting, the redhead was leaving the store with two new outfits and a handful of shiny things. The bag with the paper towels was safe in her clothing bags as Rosalia started to wander again. Actually, just wandering wasn't much fun anymore. She was alone, yeah, so there was a sense of freedom, but... she was lonely. She had her fill of "freedom" for the day and pulled out her phone again. The female didn't have to consider who to text; even though she had met others, she didn't have a chance to ask for their numbers. Not that she really earned that right just yet. She barely knew anyone... So pulling up the list of "S" names in her phone, Rosalia started typing. 'Hey, Seifer. You still with whoever is wearing your coffee? Where you at?' After hitting send, the female stopped at a vending machine to get herself a bottle of juice. Shopping made her thirsty...

[Cipher Izanagi]

As the brunette's phone buzzed he pulled it out to reply to the one who he knew had texted him, while still regarding the male in front of him. "Yeah I play card games. Vanguard." he replied before going to text Rosalia. 'I am. We're at the Dry Cleaners. I think it's actually right across from a dress store.' he hit send, giving her the full address just in case before putting the phone away and looking at Sky again. "Why do you ask? Other than having seen my deck case."

[Skyzlimitz]

"HeHeHe" Sky snickered pulling out his own blue deck case. "Are you strong?" Sky asked with a smile

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia glanced around for a few moments, and though she did just send her housemate a text, her phone buzzing in return made her jump. "Jeez... I must be tired..." she muttered to herself, sighing. At least the juice would keep her awake, hopefully. Looking over the address though, she was surprised to see how close her companion was. "Huh.. So close and yet so far away..." Tossing the empty juice container into the trash, redhead headed off.

It took maybe thirty seconds to go back to the dress store she just left, then across the street. "Heyo, Seifer~" she said happily as she walked into the cleaners, shopping bag in hand and butterfly adorned in her hair. She stopped a second later when she saw the new face, though that should have been expected. The female took a small but deep breath, relaxing herself to keep the smile on her lips. "H-hello. I guess you're the one who's shirt got stained?.. Well, it could be worse. My name is Rosalia Mooncrest. It's nice to meet you~"
