When: After this (an ongoing thread)
Where: Various (gym → the streets → the entertainment district/game center)
What: A day in the life of a would-be journalist.
Warnings: None!
a.) it's more comfortable than a barrel
- [Anyone who frequents the gym--more specifically the pool--may find a teenage girl asleep on one of the poolside chairs this fine morning, clad in her pink swimsuit with a towel draped over her like a blanket. A girl who may have gone a bit overboard with the laps, and who never seems to get enough sleep. Her hair is still damp...
Wake her up?
Even if your character doesn't, someone else will. She starts to stir to the sound of teasing laughter--and the feeling of cold pool water being splashed on her face.]
...H...Huh? [immediately, she shakes her head, wiping at her face, and--] Whoa!
[Suddenly there are people, and she's not alone like she was when she dozed off...]
(( ooc: feel free to have your character be the cuplrit behind the splashing! ))
b.) the 90s anime aesthetic
- [Later, after she realizes how soon her shift at the arcade starts, you might catch Leia booking it with a bag in hand containing her costume. If she seems a bit rushed, it's because she is; and honestly, the only thing missing is the toast in her mouth.
It's only when she nearly bowls someone over that she slows down. Stumbling after bumping into them, she struggles to regain her balance.]
S-Sorry about that! [If it's someone she knows, she may regard them with some familiarity here; otherwise:] You okay?
c.) 100 cats weren't enough
- [Leia makes it ontime, but only barely. She looks relieved anyway, though, after changing, and she takes up her post at the front of the arcade as usual. Anyone passing by will see her in a large cat costume, even if it isn't immediate obvious that it's her.]
Don't be shy! Stop on by!
[They will also be handed a flier of the hottest arcade games available, as well as new missions in ViViD and more!
Get swept in by the excitement... or blow her off. She's pretty much used to either by now.]
(( edit: fixed the link to her arcade costume, sorry 'bout that! ))

Give me about thirty minutes to do my rounds inside. Then I'll meet you back here after I change.
[Even she doesn't plan on going too far in that costume... though maybe she would if it were actually comfortable.]

Thirty minutes later, she's coming out of the arcade in her regular clothes; and when she sees him (right on time!), she sneaks up behind him.
......]
Boo!
no subject
Given that he was actually focused on reading the flyer, her sudden exclamation comes as a complete surprise and he jerks forward, flyer falling from his hand as he swears and spins around. Upon seeing Leia, he settles back down, though he does scowl in annoyance.]
The hell was that for?
no subject
H-Huh?!
[Once she recovers a bit...]
I'm sorry... you just looked so intense and focused. I wanted to lighten things up a little!
no subject
Just don't do it again.
[Which, of course, means she should absolutely do it again sometime in the future. But right now, they've got other things to decide. Namely:]
Where're we headed?
no subject
Well, she won't promise she won't do it again; but for now, she'll back up a step or two to give him some space as she thinks. Admittedly, she hadn't really decided.]
You know, I'm kind of stuck on the ice cream idea. We could go get some.
