That's right! Screens like your phone, or a television...usually at the carcade the screens are inside of this big cabinet. Some of them go all out to make you feel like you're inside a boat or driving a car.
[ A beat. ]
That will also be easier to explain once we're actually there, but first things first!
[ There's a boutique Ann has been wanting to check out just ahead! She leads Alisaie there by her wrist, but once they arrive she at last lets it go. She needs two hands for fashion, sorry Alisaie. ]
[ it's fine she understands.. they can hold hands another time.. uwu... ]
Well, I look forward to it.
[ .. she thinks. things are definitely lost in the translation here for sure, because what she is picturing is definitely not what video games are like, but alisaie likes games and competition so!! for now she will give ann the benefit of the doubt.
anyway, they reach the boutique, and alisaie is already looking a little overwhelmed. ]
[ Don't worry, Ann is here to help! Already she is piling up dresses in her arms, both for herself and for Alisaie. A moment into her frenzy she pauses, before turning back to Alisaie and holding a dress up to her. ]
Hmm, these might be a little long...no offense. [ u short girl ] But I think we can still make them work.
[ Now she's going to load up Alisaie's arms with dresses as well, so hope she's ready for them!! ]
[ oh my god that is so many dresses.. ann has gone completely feral!! it's almost incredible to watch.. like a wild animal in its natural habitat. alisaie is panicking a little, however, completely in over her head. this is ann's revenge for the hopscotch. ]
Oh, you know...I just mean you're a little on the short side! There's nothing wrong with that. The dresses here might go a little bit longer on you, that's all!
[ Unless they want to go to a girl's boutique instead, but given Alisaie's competitive nature, Ann has the feeling that wouldn't go over so well. She's sure they can still find something that works. ]
You must be an extra-small...what's your workout routine?
[ yeah if you took her to the little girls section she would sure be pretty mad about it!! she's trying her best.. baby gazelles just be this way.. alisaie narrows her eyes, but ann is doing her best to sugarcoat is, so alisaie will forgive, I GUESS!! surely she doesn't mean anything by it. ]
I wouldn't say I have a.. routine, but I make sure to train at least an hour a day if I am able to.
Every day? I'd say that's pretty dedicated. What kind of training? Like, weights or stamina?
[ Or maybe she means battle training...the training grounds are pretty popular around here, after all, even though Ann hasn't spent much time there herself.
Another dress is added to the pile for Alisaie... ]
[ but she also does, you know, sit ups and stretches and all that junk before and after.. mostly tho it's just hitting the training dummy a lot!! also, another dress.. alisaie looks hesitant.. ]
Do we really need.. this many?
dw notifs didn't want them to hang out at the mall anymore :c
You want options, don't you? Or are you one of those decisive people who can make up your mind right away? I wish I could do that.
[ Ann has too much Chidi energy for that. However, they both have a pretty considerable pile of dresses to try on at this point. Any more and the staff will give them a hard time about taking too many things into the dressing rooms. ]
How about we start with these and go from there? Who knows, maybe we've already found the winners!
[ But if they haven't...then yes, there will be even MORE dresses to try on. ]
[ alisaie is very decisive as a person, but options are always good, too. even if these options seem like way too many!! she's gonna have option paralysis!! how long is it even going to take to try all of these on??
gods, she is outmatched.. this is ann's revenge. ]
[ It sure is, heheheh! It's friendship and revenge all at the same time. The perfect crime. ]
Great idea! I'll get us a couple of fitting rooms.
[ Seeing as how Alisaie may not even know what a fitting room is. Ann flags down one of the store attendants, and soon enough the two of them are ushered towards the back with their piles of dresses to try on. ]
Okay, you have to come out in between each one you try on, okay? I want to see how you look! And you'll need to tell me how I look, too.
