"R-right." It was too late now, once the topic was brought up, it became a goal. Not to him, but to his friends. Volitaire was never excited for anything as much as this, so of course everyone would want to go. Enzo sighed at the thought of repeat of the events.
The BRK. That's what his name used to be. Enzo had lost his mind, and nearly killed his teammate in front of millions. The only thing that had stopped him was a tranquilizer bullet from Kenji. If they were going back in, Enzo hoped that his control over his own flame would have improved.
"Hey, w-weren't you guys going to go shopping? Eheheh.." He sported a bad poker face as his eyes shifted around the group to see if 'Battle Royal' was still a hot topic. He desperately needed to change that. "I'll go with you guys."
-
"Shopping? I guess he isn't feeling too comfy with me bringing up the Battle Royale.. Should've figured. Let me excitement get the better of me." He felt a bit bad remembering how Enzo was sort of frowned upon after last years events. He put it off so much he had eventually forgotten. With all the events of Gaze, facing his greatest foe, making newer friends, and enrolling in Sorcerers Voli would have forgotten something he couldn't really think about Enzo for. The boy was as sweet and "seemingly" innocent as can be. But he knows he's got that more looser side in him. Maybe Voli should get him drunk. "Shopping sounds a bit dull... Unless we're going to get food or some new game. But I'll tag along anyway... I need some fresh air. What about the rest of you?" Voli asked, attempting to back Enzo up to try and ease his tension and get him to put is mind off past mistakes a bit quicker. Though, it was a pretty big price to help his best buddy out. Voli loathed shopping. Also there's girls with them? Oh the inappropriate things he doesn't want to know or see... The more he pondered on it, the more images that appeared in his head.
-
David looked down to Kira and nodded. "Yeah, I need to buy some things anyways." Plus, what better way to bond with the girls? He smiled at her, and looked back to the others. "Shall we, then?"
Silver looked at everyone else, nodding to herself. Suddenly everyone was coming along. Okay then. She nodded at David, and walked away towards the door, waiting for the others to follow.
-
Kira tilted her head. Hm. A battle between schools? There were other magic schools? Holy shit, that'd be intense to watch. She didn't want to participate in it. Knowing herself, it'd be a failure. Despite having learned more about magic, she wasn't as competent with her abilities as the others. "Sounds interesting." Noticing Enzo's discomfort at the subject, she grew more curious.
"You, want to come with us?" she asked. How did a trip with two other girls turn into this, much larger group? "You guys... are so weird." Her tone and expression were of amusement. "Normally, guys would loathe shopping. I hope you know what you're getting into." Well, she wasn't always too fond of shopping. She had her moments though. Nodding, she followed Silver and patted David's arm as it slid off her shoulder.
-
Enzo gave a troubled smile and a stiff nod at the others. He wanted to change the topic fast, and to justify his willingness to tag along, most of his clothes had been torn and ripped from his previous battles. He needed new ones, maybe even an outfit to wear for fighting?
As he followed them, he flipped his hood on, which did surprisingly well to cover the mountain of hair on his head. He wondered about having special clothes - maybe even armored, to take into battle. The very next thought was of now he always wanted to be a superhero as a kid. He silently laughed to himself. A superhero... Those don't even exist.
-
"Oh we're going now?" He yawned before pushing himself from out the chair, letting it screech on the waxed floor. Luckily for him it didn't leave any marks... He folded the noisy thing which was actually a pain to endure. The squeak of rusting metal grinding against itself is ear piercingly horrible when listening to it up close. Squinting his eyes uncomfortably and with a little obvious aggravation, he placed the chair the corner of the gym that was in the direction of which Silver was leading the party to their new little adventure in town. Thinking about going shopping had got his money on the brain. He did hold a wallet, but he remembered barely taking anything from his little hidden old box of chocolates today. Either way, he was barely going to buy anything at all. If anything, he'd probably just drag him and Enzo away when the girls start going clothes shopping.
-
"I'm telling you, are you SURE this is the right way?" A young female voice rang out, as she walked the streets with her arms behind her head. Standing at 5'3, she was pretty short. Yet she fit in with the crowd of Japan, as she had short black hair. The more unique about her, was her blue eyes. For a Japanese girl of eighteen, it showed that she had a mix heritage from the color of her eyes. As usual, she also wore her school uniform. Lazy to not change out of it, as she walked the streets. The strange thing though is, she walked the streets practically alone. Yes, there was people that walked around her and in the background. Yet the question she put out there, seemed to be to no one in particular. Then a soft voice came inside of her head, one that was a bit of a honey alto tilt, and very female. 'Yes, I'm very sure. Unlike you, who has no talent for directions, I have studied the map and information closely and this IS the way towards that school we heard about.' The young woman made a face, her lips scrunching up to show as if she ate something sour and just grumbled. "Bring up that, why don't you." She muttered, her voice was a bit different. While she did have a singsong voice, there was the same honey tilt she had to it, but only slight. Faye Tsukimori sighed, as she stopped at the corner of the street, moving her hands down from the back of her head. "I don't know Aoi, I just feel like we're going in the wrong direction."
'That is because you always feel that way, when you don't know where you are going.'
"Hey! I know where I'm going....sometimes...." She muttered out, getting slight weird looks from people as she had raised a fist in the air in front of her. And was also speaking to someone not there. Luckily, she had this problem all the time, and had a bluetooth plugged into her ear. The people on the other side that didn't see it, thought she was crazy. But the people that did see it, just looked away, thinking she was on the phone. 'Yes, but that's only cause you go by landmarks, not by actual data or written directions.'
Faye scowled, her hands planting on her hips as she stared at the street with a bit of a unhappy look on her face. With a sigh, she shrugged and was soon walking forward again as the light turned for the walkers. "Whatever. We'll find the place sooner or later. I just know it!" She stated, a smile on her face, as Faye made her way through the shopping district at the moment. Not even realizing, the people she was looking for, she was going to run into them.
-
The group made their way out of campus and away from the school. Luckily for them, the economical side of town wasn't far away, and they soon found themselves in it. On one side of the main street were, of course, clothing stores. a General and sports store, a formal and wedding gown store, and a shoe store right next to that one.
Enzo didn't expect to find anything useful. Perhaps something in the sports section, but that was pretty much it. That's when he caught sight of a 'Magic shop' just across the street. It wasn't a phony, raw magic energy could be felt coming from it. He perked up and tapped Volitaire's shoulder. "Ah, look!" He alerted him as he pointed the way to the shop. His eyes switched back to Volitaire to see if he wanted to go check it out.
-
Adorra followed near the two girls and David, but remained until it dawned on her, "Well, if we don't find it in the shops. I'm more than willing to make it so." She grinned and then spoke softly, "I should have worn a pair of platforms today you guys are difficult to see over..."
-
He turned attention to Enzo when he felt a sudden tapping to his shoulder. "Eh..?" He faced the direction of Enzo's protruding finger, noticing a curious looking shop. One admittedly well decorated enough to spark the curiosity of the two friends. It even felt like it was giving of a abnormal "aura". Volitaire couldn't if it was the magnificently done aesthetic of the shop, or there was really something brewing in there. Either way, without response he decided to take this opportunity to adventure and change course to this brightly colored shop. The more closer he got, the more of decorations just "popped". There were interesting trinkets hanging from the ceilings, a wooden sign with a carved Wizards hat and Staff to pay homage to the old school design of a Wizard's Shopping District, various sculptures of the different elements around the entrance to the shop. Brightly colored, big, and placed awkwardly but somehow acceptable to look at. Even those with a wild case of OCD wouldn't complain at the whacky style. Going through the entrance was like stepping through a portal to a different realm, a dark lavender wall with moving slowly moving sparkles that go up and meet at the center of the ceiling giving off a mysterious cascade of white light. Blue wisps could be found orbiting within the ray of light. Volitaire looked down the light and saw a figure sitting under that very same light. His tabletop went around in the shape of a circle with a space in the middle for him to serve customers in. Multiple colored candles were placed evenly around the sides of the table giving off small but revealing lights, the last interesting detail was the damn thing was literally levitating. Larger pieces of stone were floating under it with smaller pebbles floating under that, all of which looked to be the same as the actual desk itself. Volitaire was immediately impressed. Whoever this store own was, he or she took pride in the appearance of their shop. It looked different, one could even argue out of place, of every other store in the mall. You could tell that the appearance of the store was targeting only a single demographic. Volitaire slowly trekked towards the desk with some caution, taking small steps and looking about his surroundings. Though he noticed something strange. There were no shelves lined with goods or isles with a sign telling you what is where. Maybe he had to ask..? But before he could open his mouth, the humble shopkeep greeted Voli probably knowing he was a bit unfamiliar with the odd design of his store. The voice was soft and subtle. Appearing to be feminine. Hard to tell under her robe which hid her body quite well. Her robe was large with many overlapping fabrics and buttoned flaps to keep it all together. Large bell-rimmed sleeves and and multiple sashes around her neck made for what Volitaire guessed to be some sort of extravagant scarf. She rose her head to level her gaze with the customers and her young and attractive face was revealed. Her layered and wavy hair extended passed her shoulders, the separate locks bounced when she moved her head. She made a warm grin before opening her mouth to speak again. "Hellooo sir~ You've been eying my store ever since you got in. You were even so distracted you didn't notice I welcomed you." Voli flushed, realizing how rude he sounded. The embarrassment of looking like a distracted child to what appeared to be a pretty experienced Magician made him want to punch himself in the face. He shook off his guilt so he could properly respond. "Aha..! I'm sorry! You're shop is just so pleasing to the eye... You really look like you spruced the place up. Doesn't look like anything you'd regularly find in a mall. Well... At least people would have an idea of what it is before they enter." His shaky and nervous tone didn't help hide the fact he was a bit embarrassed. It didn't help that the shopkeep was a woman either. An attractive one. He turned around him to see if Enzo was behind him, hoping he could get some back-up.
-
As her gaze continued to look at all the stores she had passed, she soon stopped when she noticed one across the street that gained her attention right away. It was also felt by Aoi, and was already speaking in her head as Faye slowly grinned at the store. 'Faye, no, do not get distracted. You said you wanted to find that sch-' The young woman was already speaking up, as she was quickly jogging across the street. "I know what I said, but this is a real MAGIC SHOP~!!!" She called out. Of course, she had to move around when she crossed the street, since she ended up crossing when cars were passing. As horns honked and tires squealed loudly, Faye would easily move around, dodging the cars so she didn't get hit. When she was getting closer, one car that was parked in her way, she suddenly jumped up to land on the front of the hood, and run across to jump down. The owner of the car came out, and yelled at her, as she continued to jog down the pavement as she headed to the store she saw some people enter.
Soon enough, Faye was entering the store with a wide eye look on her face, and a grin on it. "Sooooo wicked~" She whispered out, hearing Aoi sigh in her head as she slowly moved across the different trinkets and items on the shelves. Her blue orbs went right to the group of people that was near the counter, seeing as the owner of it popped up to talk to one of the males.
Faye would pause, staring at the dark haired boy talking with the owner of the shop. Before anyone would realize it, she had suddenly moved forward. Faye's slight distracted mind taking over, as her body would press against the back of the boy talking to the young woman. Faye had a questioning look in her blue orbs, as she smiled softly while asking loud enough. "This place is killer~! I got a question, do you also sell specific charms when dealing with spirits?" Another sigh was heard in Faye's head from Aoi. But she didn't care! It was rare to find a place that felt so full of....magic!
-
Enzo entered in with Volitaire, staying close, but his head on a swivel. The old-school mage feeling that the shop gave off was simply amazing, though not surprising, seeing as how it was located right next to one of the best magic schools in the world. By the time Volitaire had reached the desk, Enzo trailed off a little. He wondered if there was a spell or potion that allowed him to preform better at sports. Would it be cheating if I used one of those..?
He kept his idea in his head. He didn't want anyone knowing about his scheme before it happened. The lady at the desk was frighteningly pretty, and held intelligence in her words. Volitaire sounded like he choked up, and as Enzo expected, wanted him nearby.
As he was on his way to him, he quickly caught sight of another woman. A girl around their age, right behind Volitaire. Enzo hoped he didn't notice, or he'd shoot and cling to the ceiling like a cat over water. "Wha... Voli, do you see any potions?" He asked nervously, trying to gain his attention without looking like he's trying to pull him away from the two women.
-
"Umm, well no not yet." He was pretty puzzled as to where the goods were hidden. But he figured he should just ask the shopkeeper. Thing was, he has a girl on his back and a older Mage teasing him. Things were looking bleak for our gloomy hero with the social skills of a hermit. He didn't know whether he should turn attention the newer face or the shopkeeper. He was going to go into some daze if he kept up all this deep thinking over a matter that would take the average man a split second to figure out. He decided to start with the girl who bumped into him. Figuring maybe it'd be polite... "Well here we go..." "Oh and umm- Excuse me miss, I shouldn't have been in your way.." "Was that the best I could do?" He critiqued to himself. The girl appeared to be a non-hostile, but looks are always deceiving. His many endeavors with people has taught him that important lesson. He turned to face her with a nervous smile screaming "help me" in the back of his head to anyone. The Mage started giggling to her self and whisked her hand to the left side of the store. The "sparkles" moved into place creating a rows of light. They started to glow with a eerie hum, changed to a lighter brown, and the sound of crackling wood came from the wall. Splinters slowly materialized in the rows, collecting within each other and becoming a solid plank of wood. This process was choreographed in perfect unison among the rows of light. After the wooden shelves were made, more of those weird sparkles changed into different bright colors. Red, blue, green, purple, yellow, orange, it literally became the damned rainbow. Little spheres of every color filled the shelves and a clear film covered over them and solidified becoming glass. The Colorful spheres converted into a bright liquid within the glass orbs closed with a cork. Then Fwa-laa~ Potions were lined up all across the left side of the store at a massive amount. "Does that answer your question sir?" She happily asked.
-
Faye blinked a few times, when she noticed that she had been pushing up against a guy. She stared at him for the longest time, when he turned to her and said that he shouldn't have been in her way. Staring at him, she would then smile brightly and then wave her hand quickly. "No, no, no. I'm the one I should be excused. I ended up pushing my way into your conversation, so I'm the one at fault then anything." A slight snicker was heard in her head, and before she realized it she was snapping out at the side. "Aoi! Don't you dare laugh!!!" Instead of being inside of her head, Aoi's voice easily rang out around her, and anyone near Faye would hear the mature female voice. 'It's not everyday I get to see you apologies is all.'
The dark haired female crossed her arms, and snorted as she stared off to the side more. Her lower lip sticking out as she pouted a bit. Aoi just laughed softly once more, and Faye ignored her as she looked to the boy giving a slight nervous smile. Reaching forward, she would pull his cheeks apart, almost giving him a grin like look. She gave a soft smile to him, while staring at him with her bright blue eyes. "Hey, smiling isn't all that hard. If you feel like you can't do it, then do a nice big grin~" Letting go, she smiled at him, then turned to the others as she rubbed the back of her head, giving a nervous chuckle as she smiled. "Also, sorry about all that. I get way too excited when I'm around real magical places of objects. You have NO idea how hard it is to find a charm from what I stated."
Shrugging, Faye's attention was soon enough on the female mage owner, as she waved her hand to the side. Causing the shelves to pop out and to show different bottles of potions lined upon the wooden frame. Her eyes became wide, and she clapped as she grinned. "That was totally wicked~!"
-
"Uhh.." Enzo stared awkwardly as Faye screamed at nothing but thin air. He wasn't close enough to hear the ghostly voice around her, so he slowly slid his eyes off of the odd female and towards the shelves. I'm getting a weird feeling about this. It's familiar, too. Little did he know that his phobia of women was restarting. So far, he was able to predict the actions of females, but this encounter had thrown him off completely. Was she the type that'd snap at you and kill you if you said the wrong thing? She sure seemed that way.
He walked down one of the aisles, looking for something to help him with his awareness. He came across a light green jar. A strap of tape was stamped onto the side that read: 'Natural Enhancer'.
He shrugged and grabbed it, walking over to the desk and placing it down. "H-how much for this?" He asked the woman. He was sure she would jump up and shout 'BOO' any second now, so he slightly braced himself.
-
Kira had followed the others, her eyes taking in all the shops. There was a lot of variety, which was a very good thing. Noticing that Enzo and Volitaire went into one of the shops, she smirked. And so it begins. Everyone would pretty much go their own separate ways. "Maybe we should have gotten a whole, 'meet here' thing before running off?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. A few of the shops caught her attention, but she'd wait until the others suggested something, or. settle on a plan.
-
"Why that?" The mage giggled with a squeak in her voice. "$3.00, sir~ But be careful, enhancers like that aren't kind to first-timers. You're body will probably be a bit exhausted after the effect waver off. It's something your body grows to tolerate with use." She warned. Meanwhile, on Volitaire's side. He blushed a dark red from having his cheeks pulled at. He wasn't expecting her to actually go and touch him, but he guess he should have expected it with how preppy she seemed. He rubbed his hand on his face and ignored his flush, hiding the top half of his face under his fringe. He sighed and thought about what she said. "Hey, smiling isn't all that hard. If you feel like you can't do it, then do a nice big grin! ... Easier said than done." He thought. He turned over his shoulder and almost snorted at Enzo's choice of potion. "Enhancement... Oh dear..." He almost burst into laughter, but held it back the best he could, making only a small chuckle. Albeit, barely audible. He whipped his head back towards the direction of the girl, looking to the side and back to her before speaking. "I'm uhh- Not much of a smiley type. Sorry, to say..." He cursed himself in his thoughts. "Simely type? Yeah, that's a term. Lets use that." He thought while moaning discontentedly to himself.
-
"I figured as much.." Enzo took out his 'Sorcerer's Edition' wallet and opened it. Surprisingly, it was packed with money. He didn't spend much after the Aurora mission or the Battle Royal. He took out three dollars and placed it on the desk. He made sure his wallet was secure now that he knew how much green he was dealing with.
Satisfied, he grabbed the jar and walked over to Volitaire, who was still having trouble with an odd girl. "Voli, ready to go?" He asked him, then looked over to Faye. "Do you guys know each other?"
-
David and Silver stuck by Kira and let the others run off to do whatever. Silver shook her head as everyone left, agreeing with Kira on the fact that they should have set up a meeting place of some sort. She shrugged. "Oh well." Glancing around, Silver noticed a small clothing shop not too far away. It seemed to be mostly for ladies, but there was some guy clothes in there too. Mostly fancier clothing, it seemed. "Oh, let's go in there!"
David stood in silence as the girls talked, looking to the shop Silver was pointing at when she pointed it out. Fancy clothes? Oh boy. David never did well in formal clothing, always fearing he might tear or ruin them with every move he made. It made the guy a nervous wreck, really. Well, as long as they didn't make him try anything on, he should be fine.
-
"Thank you very much young man~! Remember what I said about the potion! It takes getting used too~! Oh and young lady, I do have charms. Whenever you're ready I'll take a look-see and find what you need!" Volitaire came from hiding when he heard his friends voice break some of the tension between him and this new girl. Oddly enough, she talked to him and interacted with him as if she did know him. Perhaps she's just really friendly? Or did he know her from before and he just managed to forget? Probably both as far as Voli was concerned. His memory of people he's met in the past is usually pretty poor. Unless he's established some sort of ongoing relationship with someone he wouldn't even remember your face, let alone interacting with the person. "Oh- Uhh... No, I don't. I haven't even gotten her name or anything. I kinda was in her way and she bumped into me when looking around the store. If you've gotten everything you need I guess we can go. There's nothing I can think of that I need..." He turned to face the girl again, forcing the most friendly smile he could. It was so forced you could obviously tell he was just pushing his dimples up to try and exaggerate trying to be polite to her. At least he was honest with her, he wasn't much of a grinner. "Umm- Excuse us miss..."
-
Adorra smiled as she rifled through her shoulder bag for her wallet. She knew her cash limit was a couple thousand--but her currency hadn't been changed, "Sounds good to me." So she slyly summoned up Visa MasterCard and placed it in her wallet just in case. "The sky's the limit."
-
Kira looked toward the store Silver pointed out. Her eyes almost brightened at seeing the style of clothing. Hm. "That, doesn't seem like a bad place. It seems cool, actually." That type of style was so Nice to look through. Usually the more expensive type. She smirked and gave a curt nod. Sky was the limit, maybe. She'd have to make sure not to spend much on the first store. Not enough funds for it and she was a bit of a prude with spending too much. Glancing at David, she chuckled. He didn't seem to be terribly excited for this. Patting his shoulder, she grabbed his wrist and tugged it a little. "Not gonna run away halfway, are you?" She asked, leading to the shop.
-
Silver walked happily towards the shop, eager to see what sort of nice clothes they had there. David walked along at a slower pace, flushing ever so slightly at Kira's touch and shrugging, looking away slightly. "No, it's fine, I.. I need some nice clothes, anyways..."
-
Enzo nodded, turning around and walking out of the front entrance. It took a minute to adjust to the light, they did just come out of a rather dark store. He put up his free hand and blocked the oppressive sunlight. Once his eyes adjusted, he scanned the street in search of his friends, and eventually found them, still deciding where they should go.
Enzo looked at the potion in his hand. It was small enough that he could fit it in a pocket, but there was a high chance of it breaking that way. He figured he'd get a bag from whatever store he went into next.
"What else do I have to get? Clothes, perhaps." He wondered if any of those clothing stores had 'magical clothing'. Something that wouldn't burn as easily. I wonder if Voli's still being held up... He pondered as he gazed back into the store he had just emerged from.
-
Jacen walked out of the store carrying a bag in one hand and a blueberry slushy in the other.
Hrmph...June or not, this heat is some serious bullshit...straight stifling these days.
He hooked his hat on the belt loop of his jeans, opting to keep his hair out and about for a while.
He walked down the street towards Enzo, who was holding a vial of some sort. He briefly threw one hand up in a stagnant wave before he stopped in front of him. "Looks like you've found something interesting...what's the vial for?"
-
The next thing he knew, he saw Jacen approaching him, looking quite content with a snow drink and a carrying bag. It seemed the first thing he noticed was the oddly glowing potion in his hand. "Oh, this?" He held it up to make it more visible. "Just something I thought I'd try out."
Enzo made sure he removed the 'Natural Enhancer' sticker that was placed on it before showing it to Jacen.
-
Jacen gently took the vial from him and held it up, examining it closely.
"Experimenting with what? This thing is glowing...I don't trust liquids that glow, Enzo."
Jacen handed the vial back to him, thinking that whatever he bought was probably harmless and for some sort of prank.
-
Enzo cracked a good laugh, thinking of the different outcomes that could occur with this potion. "Don't worry, I'll be the one drinking it. Besides, who would sell a dangerous product?" He laughed again, but more nervously this time. He cleared his throat and spoke again. "I need to get some good gear. Volitaire was talking about going back into the Battle Royal, have you heard of it?"
-
Jacen thought for a second about what his father actually did for a living and the equipment he brought to Sorcerers...I know a good number of dangerous products you could buy...
"Yeah, I've heard of it but I don't know what it is. Some kinda tournament right?"
-
"Yeah, the different schools that appear represent their countries, and the individual teams represent their schools. It's pretty intense knowing all of that weighs on you." It didn't seem like Jacen had a clue as to what happened the last game, and Enzo wanted to keep it that way. If he were going to enter for his second year, he'd plan to make the most of it.
-
Faye looked at the dark haired male, and narrowed her eyes when he stated he wasn't much of a smiley type. She made a sound, and waved her hand, rolling her eyes a bit as she kept smiling. "Nonsense~ Anyone can smile if they are able to hit the right notes. I bet I can make you do a natural smile when the day is through!" She stated, and had to hold back her growl when Aoi gave another chuckle. The sound able to be heard by the boy she was near. That's when the other guy that came with the one she had touched, started to ask if they knew each other. Faye couldn't help giggle at that, as it seemed like it did appear she knew him with the way she came up to them and just started talking. 'Some would call it being a stalker.'
"Your not helping, you know that?" Faye scowled at the air, when Aoi's voice came once more. She soon ignored her guardian pretty easily, when he turned to look at her and soon was speaking. When he didn't know her name, she would just smile wide up at him as she tilted her head. "Faye, the name is Faye Tsukimori." Most would stare at her with how her first name was like, and have a Japanese surname. But that was normal, considering her father had been a American at the time, which was why she had blue eyes instead the usual black or grey. Watching his other friend soon walk out, she would recall the name that his buddy called him by. Holding her hands behind her back, she leaned forward while smiling softly. "So your name is Voli, right? What's the full version of it."
After a while of standing there, she soon reaches out and tugged on his hand as she started to pull him out of the shop. "Your bud is about to leave without you. You really shouldn't just stand talking to a stranger like me, and be nice about it. What if he ups and leaves you!" She was being a little dramatic, but it was her way of showing she was being kind at helping out.
Of course, just as Faye was walking out of the store while holding onto Voli's hand, she soon saw the guy from before talking with another one. It would be a funny sight. To see Faye in the lead, holding onto a guys hand as if they were together. Seeing the new guy, she gave a bright smile. "Hey there~"
-
Enzo looked back towards the source of the voice, and the first thing he noticed was the holding of hands between Volitaire and the odd girl. His eyelids lifted like blinds, and his mind began to flood with questions. What is this? What happened back there?!
If anyone knew Volitaire, it was Enzo. He was never the romantic type. Holding hands and looking jolly was something you never saw him do, so the only logical explanation was that she had pulled him out. "H-Hi... you." 'You' was the only thing he could come up with, having not known the girl's name.
-
Volitaire was a bit amused by how much of a dynamic duo Faye and Aoi made. He almost wanted to laugh at the two and their minor bickering and teasing. But it didn't completely take his mind off the fact a girl was in his face and he had no idea how to properly react. Though, he still disregarded the topic of smiling. M-my name- Aah!" When he finally came back to reality to try and muster up the courage to put his whole government out for his new friend? Acquaintance? Possible stalker as Aoi suggested? Either way, before he could speak his peace he was pulled from out the shop and lectured about leaving his friends. She even went as far as to reunite him with Enzo and this time Jacen too. Wonder where he came from? Voli took it as a blessing being surrounded by a few dudes. He'd feel a little more comfortable that way. "U-Umm.. My entire name isn't all that important..! You're is pretty neat though, umm- Faye." He started as he was in the company of his two wingmen, or so he hoped they would be his wingmen. He hoped that in his helpless tone that Jacen and Enzo would pull Voli from off the corner of Help Me and I'm in Distress.
-
"Yeah, it's definitely a lot to..take...in."
He saw Voli approach with a girl holding his hand.So Voli has some game on the low...how about that... Jacen held back a slight laugh as he looked at Voli's face which did nothing short of advertise that he was taken off of his guard. "So uhh, sup Voli...who's your friend?"
-
Faye let out a sound as she rolled her eyes at Voli stating that her name was pretty neat. "My name isn't really something. It's a common one in America and such. I have to say yours sound more better then mine. Mine is average if anything." She giggled a bit, as her blue orbs soon took in the two guys as they stared at the two of them like she was some type of mythological creature or something. She just grinned at both of them, and raised her free hand to wave it at them. "Hey there~ The name is Faye." For some reason, Aoi didn't speak up since coming out, and she wondered what was up with that. It made her wondering if the spirit was giving her her peace like she wanted to. Or she was planning to do something to make her more put out while around three guys.
As it was, Faye didn't even notice how she still held Voli's hand. She still smiled, standing there as she looked at two of them. That's when the usual blunt dark haired girl spoke up as she raised a brow while smiling. "What? It's like you guys never saw a chick before in your life." She giggled a bit at that, raising her free hand to cover her mouth. To be honest, she didn't see it weird as she held the boy's hand. In fact, she never notice stuff like that half the time. Considering that Faye was more of a tomboy then a girlie girl.

Enzo looked to Jacen, then back to Faye. He straightened his stance and fiddled with his hair in an attempt to renew himself. "Well, my name is-" Out of nowhere, Kenji landed onto of Enzo from somewhere up above, causing Enzo to crumble to the floor mid-sentence. Kenji quickly grabbed the potion in his hand, and examined it like it held some evil secret. His eyes shifted back to Enzo, who was just pulling his face off from the ground. "What's this?" Kenji asked. "N-nothing, it's just something I thought I'd buy.." "If you wanted something to buy, you could have asked me what I wanted before leaving the dorm."
Enzo groaned, snatched the bottle back from Kenji's baby hands, and stood up. "Fine..." He said under his breath, but it was no use. Kenji had locked his eyes on Volitaire and Faye, switching from looking at one to the other. "New girl? Faye, is it?" He tipped his fedora to her. "I'm Kenji. The weakling over there doesn't have a name." He quickly pointed towards Enzo, who could only sigh in response.

"Average? I've never heard the name Faye a day in my life, even when I did go to America for that supposed vacation. It can't be that common..." He thought. He took her comment about his name being a better than hers. Honestly, he hated his name. It was silly and uncalled for to call a person. It's why he took his middle name of Volitaire and self-acclaimed it to be his first name. Leaving his real first name cursed to collected dust in the back of his mind. He wanted to reassure Faye she did have an interesting name but from out of the blue and of course the perfect timing to break more ice than intended, Kenji enters the scene! Knocking Enzo down onto his head and inspecting his potion. He sighed and gave Kenji a short wave. He almost involuntarily moved his hand Faye was holding. Realizing he was still holding the girls hand his face flushed a deep red and he quickly turned to the side pretending to pay attention to something else. It was like he's never seen a girl in his life. He did spend a large portion of his life in a orphanage where no one really chose to speak to him because of his choice in School of Magic. Before his days in the Orphanage his family was pretty strict with him about meeting people. The poor boy could barely keep himself together on his own, which is why he always needed the assistance of his almost as helpless friend, Enzo. "Umm... Sorry, Faye." Voli said with a nervous shake in his voice. "You're just holding my hand and... No one's ever really touched me befor-" SMACK! Went his mouth over his trailing off mouth. "No one's ever touched me before..!? Real smooth, Voli! You flipping clod!" He sighed before facing the floor, kicking at it with the tip of his shoes.
-
Jacen just looked on at the scene in front of him. Enzo was on the floor holding his head as Kenji sat there, Voli had his mouth covered with the biggest 'oh shit' expression he'd ever seen. He stared at the ground, refusing to look back up. Jacen sighed a bit before introducing himself.
"Hi, I'm Jacen...the one on the floor is Enzo...and you've already met Voli."

Kira gave him a slight smirk. He did need some nice clothes. Or, at least a different style. He'd look good in more casual things, but she loved when people dressed up in nicer clothes. More often than not, it made the appeal raise. "Good, then. You'll be our test subject~" With that, she followed Silver into the store. Her eyes zoned in on some of the outfits and accessories. For both men and women. "Ooooo." Japan really Did have better fashions. "Silver, how about we give David a make-over?" She suggested grinning.
-
Silver grinned, nodding at Kira in agreement. "Ohh, yes, that sounds fun. Let's do that." Silver grabbed David's other wrist and pulled him towards the men's section, a wicked smirk on her face.
David, on the other hand, got a bit nervous. His eyes widened at Kira's suggestion, and he slowly shook his head. "N-" But before he could protest, Silver was pulling him towards the clothes. Not wanting to follow, he grabbed Kira's hand and pulled her along with him, a pained look on his face.
"..Why? Why didn't I go with the others?"
