[open] Ain't it great, how we met each other
Who: Rise Kujikawa and YOU! Yes, even you.
When: 6/1
Where: Lots of locations, CYA, etc etc.
What: Rise's getting back out in the colony and dragging people along for the ride with her daily routine.
Rating/Warning: Probably not yet.
[Even if by Cerealia standards it's her birthday, Rise doesn't think anything of it. Things are different here and she has a long day ahead of her. But at least it's nice to be on some kind of schedule again and get back to the way things were.]
A.) Catch a glimpse of the hollow world;
[The morning starts early for Rise Kujikawa with a bright and early call for a photoshoot. She never realized that a "sunglasses model" could be a real job but here she is bright and early when the sun is just perfect to capture the product without the glare effect. Did you happen to stumble onto the scene of this shoot? You might find Rise perusing a table of glasses that she's meant to put on her face and she'll turn with a small grin on her face.]
Which one do you think I should start with first?
[Alternatively, later in the shoot she's put on a pair that's a liiiiittle too dark and it makes it hard to see. Sorry if she happens to bump into you on her way to put them back.]
Sorry! Geez, these are way too effective…
B.) Turning misery into meaningfulness;
[Later in the day she's in front of a storefront in the shopping district with a plate of tofu samples. This feels a little more like home, weirdly enough, and even if she's dressed down in a work smock she seems oddly relaxed. She won't hesitate to stop anybody who wanders by, maybe even tapping the shoulder of the person if it's someone she knows (hell, maybe even the people she doesn't know.)]
Free sample? It's fresh…they're trying a new recipe in there. [She has opinions on said-tofu, but collecting information and backing said-opinions is never a bad thing.]
C.) Gaze in fascination so hard;
[Regardless, even if she has a busy busy day she's going to take time for herself even if it kills her. That's what this is about, isn't it? Relaxing, getting back to a normal life after the trauma that came from that weird, dark area. After her shift at the tofu shop she'll even text a few friends.]
Weather's great! Wanna come up?
[Friends who text back will get an answer, but for anybody who…happens…to be prone to being on rooftops they'll find that Rise's dragged a couple of chairs up to the roof of her apartment building, an umbrella tilted just enough for the slightest amount of shade and sprawled out in one of the lounge chairs dressed in a bikini with yet another pair of sunglasses on.]
It's perfect, isn't it?
D.) You know the stake in high stardom is near;
[And so the sun sets. The day goes on, and there's one more shift to take care of in her day before she's satisfied. Anyone in the Entertainment District may find that several colonists are heading for one particular karaoke bar. Entering the bar, you'll find that Rise is at the mic and it's here she's in her most natural environment as she continues her performance. When she finishes the song and the applause dies, she peers around before her eyes land on you, a playful smirk on her face as she speaks into the mic.]
I think it's your turn to sing a song for us! What do you say?
[Looks like the crowd agrees.]
[Or maybe you find yourself at the bar later and she finishes another song. No matter who it is, she'll slide into the seat next to you and she doesn't even appear winded as she speaks up.]
Who knew aliens liked music so much?
E.) Looking so different glaring street light;
[Or you can wildcard her! She can be found anywhere in the above locations, wandering the colony, or maybe you're a friend who happens to bump into her. Bring it on.]

... the answer to that question is answered soon enough, when a familiar redhead bumps into him while sporting glasses, and it's a reflex, the way he begins to respond with her name as he grips her shoulders gently, to make sure she doesn't fall. ]
Ri—
[ wait. her friends call her rise, but he's not chat, and he doesn't know her. so, adrien corrects himself quickly, trying to ease into a natural-not-natural cover-up phrase. ]
—Ri... Really? [ ....... ] Er, I mean, it's okay. At least we know they work, huh?
[ he'll let her go now.
yes, good job. nailed it. ]
no subject
Good job, Adrien.]
I do feel a little better trying to endorse a product that actually works. I'm really sorry though, I didn't even see you! [And speaking of seeing, she'll push those sunglasses up.] Are you okay?

Personal embarrassment over, when Keimi does arrive on the roof, she's happy to see her new friend waiting for her.]
This is great, Rise-chin! Thanks for setting everything up for us.
no subject
Sure! It wasn't a huge deal, this is all stuff I found in the shopping district. [She turns, patting the spare chair.] Come on, join me! I think we've got a couple of hours left to enjoy it before the sun goes down completely.

But at this point, when no one else in the colony knew about Death City except himself, he knew better than to expect her to recognize him as well, so he finally blinks, and reaches out for a tofu sample. Just act natural, Miles, he tells himself. As if he hadn't stared after she had gotten his attention. Right, right.]
Er...t-thank you. [He looks at the sample, grateful for something else to stare at, before eating it.]
no subject
It's supposed to be the best of the best! I should know. It's my own personal recommendation. [Which should probably normally send people running the other way, but this seems to be quite satisfactory. She still can't help but give Edgeworth a curious look.] So what do you think?

Y-Yeah!! Wow!!! Let's do that!! Woo!!! Hey-- [ Now he decides to check behind him, trying to encourage a random alien person. ] --she's talking to you, man! -- What? No, I, you. It's you!
no subject
Actually? Maybe she shouldn't be so surprised. Leaving into the microphone again she gives a dazzling smile as she focuses on him one more time.]
Jaune~ Are you coming up here or not? [There. Name called out and everything.] Unless you're too scared to. It's okay. I think we can all understand that, can't we?
[There's a ripple of laughter and a few cheers as well. Come on, Arc. Join her on stage.]

There's a split second where the liquid pauses midair, clearly on it's way to her skin and clothes, when his wrist twists to catch the liquid in the cup, his other hand reaching for her arm to pull her back at the same time.
Nice save, at least until Rise nearly ends up in a pile of garbage off to the side -- thankfully it's potentially just one shoe that stands on or very close to an old cookie packet. ]
Should you really be walking around in those if you can't see?
[ smh... ]
no subject
Tell that to the photographers. Where'd you even come from anyway? [Somehow that's sort of like "thank you, Merlin."]

That's when he comes across Rise in front of the store with the tofu samples, and Dipper has to do a double take. One of those "seeing someone you know in a completely different context" things. ]
Hey, Rise. Tofu, huh?
[ NOT HIS FAVORITE, ADMITTEDLY... ]

[Wait, he thinks, after he sends those. That's kind of a lie. It doesn't really depend on where up is.
He decides he might as well clarify that.]
I lied theres like pretty much nowhere up could be that I wouldnt go with you........lol

But he wasn't one to just walk by a friend without saying hi! So as he walked up to her, he just simply gave her a curious look]
Uh...how about that one? [He said before pointing to a pink one] It looks like something you might like!

You're right, these are pretty cute. [Give her a moment before she slips them on her face, tilting her chin up slightly.] What do you think? How do they look?

b!
the only downside is the growling of an unhappy stomach as flynn walks by on patrol. is it normal for stomachs to growl so loud? it can't be normal for them to growl so loud. before ignoring it can happen properly, rise intrudes with a plate of godly free samples. perfect timing! flynn immediately smiles at the familiar face.]
Thank you, I'd love some.
[he takes one of the samples and happily munches on it. a little bland, but flynn's learned that's the fault of his very special tastebuds.]
no subject
Oh hey! It's good to see you. [It's true. She'd been idly concerned about what happened to Flynn after their adventures with those dumb monsters, but he looks to be alive and fully recovered. She places a hand on her hip and rebalances the tray even as she waits for his opinion.] I didn't think I'd see you down here.

It's nice though, isn't it? Lively! Just the kinda thing this place needs.
[Everyone had been so down after the fieldtrip to The Shadowlands that Kashuu thinks the entire city should be turned into a karaoke and dance party... That said:]
You're super good, y'know! The crowd loves you.
no subject
It's why I like working at this place, you know? Sometimes they let me sing my own songs, but usually they want me to entertain the crowd and challenge other people to keep the atmosphere up. [The bartender brings her a drink, but it looks like it's only water. She beams at the compliment though.] Thanks though! It's a good way to keep practicing and make sure I don't get rusty.

he'd come to check out the fuss and had been wowed by the performance. by the time rise slides into the seat next to him, he's got a drink of his own and he's still bobbing his head a little as the song replays in his head. ...maybe he's just a little surprised when he realizes she's the one talking to him, but he smiles brightly.]
Oh, it's you! You were really amazing up there!
no subject
You really think so? Thanks! I'm still getting back into practice and I'm always a little nervous about performing for this kind of crowd, but that's so nice of you to say. You really liked it?

Know what this scene needs? A prank, of course!
With perfect balance, Jack lands on top of the umbrella, and lets a snowball slip down on its surface until it falls on the girl under it. Enjoy!]
no subject
...you know, until the snowball drops on her and she lets out a shriek, jumping away from the chair and wiping snow off of her swimsuit before she spins to see where it came from.]
What was that all about?! [It's then she spots Jack crouched on her umbrella, and she removes her sunglasses to stare at him.] Hey! What are you doing to my umbrella?

C IS FOR COOKIE, THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR MEEEEE
So when he gets her text, he's actually glad for the timing of it. It'll make his coming to find her seem more natural, and he won't have to come up with an excuse for doing so. That's helpful. Yu can't help the small smile on his face as he texts her back to let her know he's on his way.
Yu has a small gift bag in one hand as he heads up to the roof to meet her. Once he makes it up there and sees the scene she's set up... he pauses, and has to swallow a laugh. Only Rise. ]
Yeah. It is.
[ He's in a t-shirt and slacks, but otherwise doesn't seem quite as prepared as her to dress down. He'll take a seat on the other lounge chair, though, setting down the gift bag between them. ]
You know, if I remember right, today's a pretty special day.
you stupid douche I still have this in my head days later
When he reaches the rooftop she's turns her head and smiles brightly in greeting from behind her sunglasses. Shut up, Yu, there's nothing wrong here. She moves to face him in that chair, tilting her head slightly even as her eyes glance down at the present.]
You really think so? [It's hard to say if she's being coy or if she's really surprised he remembered. But of course he would remember. It's just like Yu to remember the little details of the friends who are so precious to him. Pushing up the glasses she looks at the bag one more time before giving him another questioning one.] So...this is for me?
casually tags you back and gets it stuck in your head AGAIN???
casually pushes you off the bed
rude 8( cookiiiieeeeee....
c is also for cat
ok i officially hate past me bc every time i tag this thread i get the song stuck in my head
I was in sbux the other day and saw a cookie and thought of you and how much I hate you for this
i love you too :*
aggressively slobbers on I guess
a for aaaahhhhh i'm late
[That sure was a small collision there. Lili blinks then even as she wasn't bowled over, if only because Rise's about as small as she is. Still though she's blinking and frowning vaguely at the other girl, though she's more concerned than irritated?!]
Be more careful. Why would you wear something to impede your vision anyway?
hdu
Ugh, sorry, Lili. The photographer said these ones would be the best for the mood of this ad we're doing. I don't think they care if I can see at all. Are you okay?
let me make it up to u.......
...crawls back here 3 days later, whoops
welcome back....
