[ backdated to before the elves, just when the snow is really heavily piling up! SOMEBODY has just been dumped out beyond the village after her de-hiatus kidnapping, and gave up wading through the packed snow after like five minutes. so she's trying a different tactic.

wherever you are, there's suddenly a girl on an armored penguin calling out for you to WATCH OUT!! as she sleds down the slope, swerving to avoid hitting you....... and then crashing into a tree. awkward. the only way that could be even more awkward is if you'd been unlucky and stepped out from behind a tree, out-of-sight, so that you didn't even get a warning before the girl and her penguin crash straight into you instead. whooops. ]

[Skarmy is just amused, and thinks her trainer will look pretty dumb in all that gear.]

You think she does? Maybe I'll look for some in the item shop!

[acuity]

Would they have it... well, then again, they seem to have all sorts of strange items. Ah, and there it is now!

[ MADE IT TO TOWN \o/ ]

[shamelessness]

Ah... I guess this is where we say goodbye?

[acuity]

It seems so. Or I could accompany you to go shopping, if you want to look for gear.

[shamelessness]

Y-you'd do that with me?

[acuity]

Of course I would, miss...

... Actually, I don't think I've ever asked for your name.

[shamelessness]

E-eh!? I forgot to introduce myself!?

I'm so sorry! How rude of me! M-m-my name is Shiemi Moriyama!

[acuity]

Don't be so concerned, it was also my fault. I'm Platina Berlitz.

[ POLITE LADYBOW 8) ]

It's nice to meet you, Miss Moriyama.

[shamelessness]

Y-you don't have to call me "miss"!

[acuity]

Don't I? It's only polite.

[shamelessness]

I- I- I appreciate that, b-but you don't have to.

[acuity]

... How about Miss Shiemi, then?

[ NAMES ARE SRS BSNS!! ]

[shamelessness]

Ah... okay. Should I call you Miss Berlitz?

[acuity]

That's certainly acceptable!

[ TWO LITTLE MISSES /o/ ]

[shamelessness]

A-ah, okay! Miss Berlitz, then...

[acuity]

Good. It's a pleasure~

[shamelessness]

The pleasure is all mine! Have you been in Luceti long?

[acuity]

A few months. Almost five, now that I think about it...

[ ... whoa. entering the shop distractedly, IT'S BEEN A WHILE. ]

[shamelessness]

Wow, that's a lot! I'm surprised we haven't met before!

[acuity]

Somehow...

Is it really that surprising? How long have you been here, Miss Shiemi?

[shamelessness]

Not last November, but the one before that! Thirteen months?

[acuity]

... That's... quite the stay.

[ TO SAY THE LEAST. distractedly rifling through clothes without even looking at them. ]

[shamelessness]

I know people who have been here longer... Is that bad?

[acuity]

It's not bad, it's just... still a little surprising, even now.

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi looks at the clothes Platina is flipping through, and tilts her head. Though the conversation topic stays the same when she picks up.]

Some people have been here for more than a few years. I wonder if that's scary to them.
