[open] rude awakenings

[journaler]

Who: Leia Rolando, anyone (OPEN)
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! ))

[It is...now...?

Leia seems to watch him, eyes bright with surprise. She thought he was going to leave.]

Oh. Sure you don't want me to show you around?

[topscores]

It doesn't really matter. But you should uh...probably change if you're going to do that.

[He doesn't really want to be followed around by a girl in a huge cat costume ok]

[journaler]

Maybe...

[She glances inside, where she catches the glimpse of the clock on the wall. It's about time for her to make her rounds anyway, and it's a lot easier to maneuver the crowds in normal clothes.]

Okay. Then I'll come find you later!

We keep our clothes in lockers in the break room upstairs. [So that's where she's headed.]
