Where: Shopping district.
What: Pearl and Trucy go dress shopping; alternately, get your fortune told or see an impromptu magic show!
Rating/Warning: It's Trucy and Pearl...

A - fortune telling option, expect talk of love

[ Looking to have your romance fortune told? Because Pearl Fey has a little table in the arcades where she sits at with a crystal ball and some tarot cards. All of which are bullshit, but she is an actual spirit medium, so maybe her fortunes aren't as full of shit as they could be?

If you walk up, you may see her chatting with another teenaged girl, magician Trucy Wright, telling her her fortune for the fifteenth time that day. Or if she's alone she might call out to you, with a smile, ] Hi, would you like to know what your future holds?

[ It’s possible to get your fortune told while Trucy’s there to commentate as well, of course, sitting on the side of Pearl’s table and kicking her heels. Just specify. Trucy may or may not provide glittersmoke for dramatic fortune-telling moments if included. ]

B - at the party store / magic show

[ And then at the party supplies store, Pearl is behind the counter and Trucy is… sitting on the counter. She appears to be regaling Pearl with increasingly silly magic tricks, and may at one point pull out Mr. Hat to hand Pearl a dropped CereVice. You can approach Trucy alone about her spectacular tricks, or if you really want to buy party supplies you could speak to Pearl alone, too. If you don’t just talk to both of them as Pearl bursts out laughing (or beforehand, during any number of dumb magic tricks). ]

Why thank you, Mr. Hat! [ With a little smile. ]

[ Trucy’s lips don’t move so much as a hair, but there’s a reply in her “Mr. Hat” voice: ] No problem, Miss Pearl!

C - dress shopping

[ On the 22nd, the two teens are out on the hunt for dresses for that sweet fancy party coming up. Catch them searching the racks for dresses in blues, purples, pinks, etc, or trying on said dresses. It’s possible to have either of them come out of the dressing room and ask: ]

What about this one? [ It’s usually directed at the other girl, but maybe they didn’t realize you were there and accidentally polled a stranger since the other one wandered off. Or maybe you just want to give an opinion. They will, after all, try on a few obvious “why would you evers” for fun (as evidenced by the laughter)...such as the following: Trucy, Pearl, and Trucy and Pearl...they’re not being serious, but you’re free to think these choices are 100% serious. They’ll also be trying on various pieces of jewelry and different shoes, although again some of their choices are clearly chosen just to make the other one crack up. Productive, ladies.

They can also be caught gossiping if you come upon them at just the right time... ]

No, he hasn’t said he’s going with anyone yet...but I’m sure we can get him a date! [ Trucy. Pearl’s quick enough to respond with: ]

What about Mystic Maya...? [ Before they both notice you... ]

D - wildcard

[ If none of those work, feel free to run into the girls on anywhere there are stores to shop in on the 22nd as they search for dresses/shoes/accessories (they may also stop to eat lunch and the like, gossiping wherever) or wherever on the 21st. They’re both fairly friendly and don’t mind being flagged down at random. ]

Threaded | Flat

[Well, it's obvious that when one of the girls asks for an opinion on her dress, she's talking to the other girl with her. But Souji, standing around looking mildly lost in the accessories section, is still only too happy to give his own opinion. Mostly because he's getting a bit confused and bored trying to figure hair pins out.]

You both look very pretty. [That comes accompanied with a beaming smile. He's about as fashion conscious as bread, but they are both young and seem sweet, and at least they're not wearing any of the more hideous dresses, so that kind of answer is a given.] Are you getting clothes for a special occasion?

[Archer was pretty sure he had no future but it looked like it might be an amusing prospect. Dealing with idiots was boring but running them in circles could provide some amusement.]

Fine. What do I need to do?

[Grabbing a chair at the table and sitting down.]

[fortune telling, huh? kaito wasn't exactly a big believe in that sort of thing (he thought of it as another type of performance act, honestly) but hey! why pass up the chance to get to know some of your fellow arcade entertainers?]

What're the chances that my future holds riches, fame and good fortune?

[that he asks while leaning against the side of the table-- the side trucy isn't sitting on, of course. he's also tucking some magician's scarves into his pockets. . . he probably just finished a small show for a tiny group of kids or something]

[Phoenix has accompanied them to this particular store and may very well end up paying if they choose a dress. He's been letting them have fun on their own and reading a magazine outside. Now he's come in to see how they're doing, catching them in the last pair of dresses while hearing the tail end of what they're saying.]

Hey there girls. What's all the commotion about?

[Kuzuryuu isn't exactly here to have his fortune told. Actually, judging by how he's coming up from the casino, chances are he just got off work. Or maybe he was down there gambling...who can really say for sure here. In any case, he stops when he spots Trucy over at the little table, heading over there instead with a wave and an:]

Oi, Wright! Waiting on your dad again? [Oh hey there's someone else here too.] Ah...I remember you. You're the one who likes kakigori in winter, right?

[He...he doesn't think he ever actually got your name, come to think of it.]

[As fate would have it, Maya is indeed browsing the stores at just the right time. She's not as enthused about the ball as she would have been if it weren't for certain murder castles souring balls for everyone, but dressing up and looking at cute (or funny) dresses is never amiss.]

[And as fate would have it, she just happens to overhear that little bit. Or at least, she thinks she hears something.]

...What about me and Nick?

[WHAT NOW, GIRLS]
