[OPEN] i scream we scream for...??

[reprizesal]

Who: Sayo and YOU.
What: Sayo went into ViViD to grind for points to get something. Afterwards, he checked out an ice cream stall’s selection of… odd flavours?
When: May 19th (IC) | February 7th/8th (OOC), May 20th (IC) | February 9th/10th (OOC)
Where: ViViD, Shopping District
Warnings: Violence in ViViD later.

► A: Game Start_
[Sayo never really hides his dislike and distrust of ViViD. It’s buggy, it drags people inside, it cause them trouble and sometimes, bring up things that’s unnecessary for others to know.

And yet, here he is.

Sayo probably would stand out a lot, by the sheer fact that he’s probably one of the smallest players around using ViViD. Depending on your choice, you could:

1. Pre-ViViD session: Chat with him and maybe team up? Sayo wouldn’t decline any offers to team up, since he knows teamwork is important.
2. Assassin’s Creed Killer’s Code: Your mission, should you choose to fulfil it, is to assassinate certain targets inside a city. Your score will be marked based on stealth, approach and non-target NPC reactions to your actions. Sayo can do it, but what is your approach to go with his? Will it mesh well... or cause conflict and wreck your scores in the process?
3. Alien Warriors: Free for all brawl?! Take many enemies, all with strange appearances, within the time limit! Maybe fulfil some optional objectives while you’re at it for extra points? Maybe you should watch out for Sayo, since tantou aren’t designed for all-out fighting like this virtual battlefield.

No matter what, he's here to get points for a certain thing.]

► B: Ice cream pun here_
[After school, Sayo’s in the shopping district and taking a good look around for anything that might be useful. Or good deals, so he can report it back to everyone once he’s back home. At one point, he stopped and was looking at an ice cream stall’s flavour selection. There’s the standard flavours, along with the more… unusual choices. Odd enough that Sayo would actually look up at someone (he’s so small, sometimes he wants to be taller--) and ask.]

Is that one good?

[And points at the flavour he’s asking about. Take your pick, it’s still a weird flavour. And possibly discourage him against buying it… or enable him?!]

[Continue to plant the wrong impressions into his mind, Athena...] I'd like to see them one day.

[Yes? No?? He looks back at the ice cream flavours on display.]

So... should I try the pizza flavoured one?

[psycholawgy]

[ sorry, sayo. ]

Well, have you heard of croissants? They're bread shaped like a crescent because croissant means crescent in French!

[ educating sayo with food!!! this is a fun thing to do. ]

And yes, I'd totally try the pizza. In fact, I'll try it with you!

[reprizesal]

[He perks up, as if recognising it.]

I saw them before, but I haven't really learn their names before.

[Teach him, Athena...!]

You will? [That sounds... reassuring? Since sharing food is usually better with someone he knows.] Does this mean we buy one or two scoops?

[psycholawgy]

Let's go to a bakery sometime! I don't know much about bread, but-- [ she probably knows more about sayo does. . . ]

Just one scoop for the each of us. How does that sound?

[reprizesal]

We can go whenever we're both free.

[You know, in case Athena have her own plans and daily routine to deal with. He gives a nod to her and starts to move his hands, as if getting ready to pay for both of their scoops.]

Two pizza ice cream. One scoop each, please.

[Coming right up!]

[psycholawgy]

[ she nods, then claps her hands in delight. what a gentleman! she'll have to make it up to him at some point. maybe treat him to some croissants in the future. :) ]

Thank you, Sayo!

[reprizesal]

You're welcomed, Athena-san.

[Their ice cream is ready! Sayo stands on the tip of his toes for a moment to reach out for his offered cone. Athena's own cone is already held out by the vendor.]

[psycholawgy]

[ smh what a cute kid!!!

she licks her ice cream and makes a face before smiling. ]

It's not so bad after all!

[reprizesal]

[Sayo gives his an experimental lick and blinks. It's... not that bad? It's not terrible? Amazing.

He nods in agreement.]

Yes... it's not bad. I like others better but... I don't mind it.

[psycholawgy]

Oh, oh! [ she suddenly gets excited at that .] What's your favourite?

[reprizesal]

[The answer comes to him very, very easily.]

It's persimmon. It's not a common flavour, so it's a little hard to find somewhere that sells it.

[psycholawgy]

Persimmon, huh?

[ she pokes at her moon earring... ]

Not even the cosplay cafe has that... a pity.

[reprizesal]

[He briefly glance at her earrings. Moon shaped... Mikazuki might like something like that.]

Yes... It's a little disappointing it's not very popular.

[More people should like it! Even if strawberry and chocolate have a bigger universal appeal.]

[psycholawgy]

[ that just gets a jolly smile from athena. ]

Hey, maybe you should make it popular. Like, spread the word or something.

[reprizesal]

Me?

[A blink, and then a tilt of his head.]

... I could try to do that. Perhaps many people would end up liking it as well.
