Hey, Alisaie! Red or black, pumps or wedges, leggings or mini-skirts?
[ No context, just help a girl out here. ]
[ No context, just help a girl out here. ]
What? Are you quite all right? Speaking in tongues?
[ WHAT IS PUMPS ]
[ WHAT IS PUMPS ]
[ You know, pumped-up kicks!! ]
I need some input on what to wear to the masquerade! You don't mind helping me out, do you?
[ She could ask one of her friends, but considering her options are Akira, Yusuke and Futaba, she isn't sure...how much she trusts their judgment on these kinds of things. But Alisaie seems sensible! ]

[ ... well okay alisaie might not be a fashion girl, but she does probably have a better eye for it than those three, at least. ]
I would love to, but I am not particularly good at.. that sort of thing.
[ u kno.. girl stuff.. ]

What, with that cute outfit you were wearing during the hopscotch match? I bet you're better than you think!
[ Even if she's not much a shopper, she doesn't need to be to have the eye for things that look good together. ]
Come on, it'll be fun! And there's this place at the mall that serves warm cookies...

Well, that is certainly reason enough. Just try not to expect too much of me.
[ even tho ann thinks her outfit was cute.. weh!! ]
I shall meet you there.
[ even tho ann thinks her outfit was cute.. weh!! ]
I shall meet you there.
Great! See you in a few!
[ And sure enough, Ann heads to the mall straight away, pacing around the fountain out front while she waits for the other girl to arrive. When she does, Ann greets her with an enthusiastic wave and a smile. ]
You made it! Thanks for coming on such short notice. I just know I'd never be able to make a decision all on my own.
[ Ann also has Chidi brain. ]

[ good thing for ann, alisaie does not have chidi brain, she is very good at being decisive even if she can't guarantee she will have good taste in.. pumped up kicks!! nevertheless a warm smile blooms across her face when she finally locates ann. ]
Gods, this place is enormous..
[ she got lost trying to find the right entrance!! ]

Isn't it? A dream come true...
[ Yes, where Alisaie sounds overwhelmed, Ann sounds enamored. This mall reminds her a lot of the one she used to frequent in Shibuya, too, so for that reason she's even more fond of it. What better way to spend an afternoon?
She grabs for Alisaie's wrist to pull her eagerly along with her through the front doors. ]
They've got an arcade here, too, if we need a break from all the shopping.

[ she is definitely overwhelmed!! alisaie has visited plenty of shopping markets across hydaelyn, many of them large and sprawling, but this is something else entirely.. maybe it's because it's indoors, so it feels more claustrophobic than an open air market might. but she will PERSEVERE!! even if she is totally lost..
.. which doesn't matter anyway because ann is taking the lead, snagging her wrist to yank her right inside!! :flushed: ]
An.. an arcade..?
[ WHAT THAT.. ]

Oh...don't they have arcades where you're from?
[ Wow, she really is from some kind of ye oldey fantasy world, isn't she? The type of place Camelot actually seems like it should be. Adjusting to life here sure must've been something... ]
No video games, either?

[ she sure is ye oldey!! .. kind of. xiv has so many weird scifi elements too, gestures to garlemald and like, everything allagan. she has flown in fancy airships and delved into technological marvels beneath the ground, but no bideo game.. ]
Video.. games..? Is that some type of sport?
Video.. games..? Is that some type of sport?
Well, they are to some people...
[ eSports is sure a thing, so you know what, Alisaie, you're not wrong. ]
They're a sort of interactive game. You can even play some on your phone. Since you're pretty competitive, you would probably like them.
[ She's just saying... ]

[ don't do this ann.. it's only a matter of time before she breaks a tv with a wiimote.. ]
An interactive game? Like the hopscotch?
[ she hasn't used her phone like, almost at all, if she's honest, so the hopscotch is the closest approximation she can make.. with her free hand (ann is still holding her opposite wrist uwu), alisaie pulls her phone from her pocket. ]

[ Ann can't help a small chuckle at the way Alisaie says "the hopscotch", but it's good-natured. She can't imagine how foreign this place must seem to someone who isn't familiar with modern technology. ]
Mh-hmm! Though you usually play them on a screen. Unless you want to get into virtual reality, but that's a whole other thing. How about after we find outfits for the party, we check it out? It can be my treat.
[ Everyone should experience DDR at least once in their lifetime, and she sort of gets the feeling that left to her own devices, Alisaie might not try it out. She's not as into games as Akira and Futaba, but she still likes to play them now and again.
And she can probably beat Alisaie at them, so... ]

[ the hopscotch!! leave her alone!! ]
A screen.. like this?
[ alisaie lifts her phone. this kind of screen?? she's still very much getting used to this stuff!! also, fucking rude ann.. taking advantage of her ye olde.. she is definitely going to lose at vidya. for now. think of what u are doing when you awaken her competitive spirit.. ]

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. ]
I.. o-oh..

[ 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. ]
I.. um..
[ wait. ]
Hey! What is that supposed to mean?
[ >:( ]

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... ]

Stamina, but mostly battle training, really.
[ 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?

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. ]
