Replacement Shopping [O]

[Se`faelne`some`]

She has a few pieces bangles in her hair that tinkle as she moves. she wear a dress that is an golden color edging with gray brown as the main color. it has most of herself dressed, but it has parts of her tummy showing with a lilac pattern. her dress has two slits on the front so that the long dark one hangs down like a really long loincloth, she calls it the latest fashion. Armed with her two fans, a Cloak thath as a slot of Flint, a 8 inch Length Flashlight, a Walkie-Talkie, a Scroll, three slots of Makibishi, three slots of darts, two kunai, three slots of Hira-Shuriken, and a slot of Bo-Shuriken.

Well after that gate scene she had to get what she needed from somewhere else. She still had no idea what made her leave the gate to start with, sometimes she had to question herself when she did that. But it had happened, it made her a little upset that she had showed weakness like that to a man. Her feet would take her to a well dressed part of of the village, her eyes taking in the make up shop. Her hands would turn the handle and she would enter the shop, her hands would start to look at the tubes of lip stick critically as she was comparing it to the one she had wanted at her home out in the county. She did not live in the village, she outside of the village, so it was a little maddening that she couldn't leave to her house. But as long she could find the lipstick, it would be okay, maybe.

Picking up a tube, she would glance at it reading the name of it, Plum pink, interesting really, not pink enough though. Her hands would turn, this time it was pretty pink, her eyes would eye it, hands would uncap it and she would eye critically again on this tube. This time it would be too pink. Her eyes would merely close, this would be a long day it seemed. Not being able to find the perfect tube would most likely kill her. The clerk would watch her to make sure she didn't try any but the samples on, her face just seemed to drop after the first couple she looked at.

Her fingers would move over the smooth metal of the tubes, pondering which one she wanted, pink for fun, young and innocent. Red for being open to the men, also exciting, but not for a lady of refinement. dark red was for the older ladies, the ones that were married, and wanted a good time at a party. her hands passed away from the reds, she wanted to be seen as a gentle soul, and she would be thought of one if it killed her.

her hands would pick up two tubes of pink lipstick, the shades would be like night and day, one would be called passionate pink, a darker shade of pink, but then a 3rd tube caught her eye, her hand putting down the darker shade and trading it for a coral colored tube, this one was almost right, it felt right in her hand. but she wasn't sure if this was the one she needed.

Mouse would stare at the tube of lipstick, she would then move to the counter, she felt a little better about herself as she bought the coral colored lipstick. She would move off to the power room to apply the coloring to her lips. Her eyes would take in the slight change in her face. Her lips looked fuller for some reason as she applied the free lip gloss to the lips to make them shine. Her hands would place the tube into her bag and then she would turn on her heel and she would head out. she had other things to do with this lipstick and she needed to get a outfit to match it.

[Karissa Byers]

The girl was walking through town, skin pale as snow somewhat shining in the sunlight. She wore a shimmering blue dress that held a snowflake pattern down near the lower hem, the long sleeves of which were a paler shade of blue. The clothing she wore practically hung on her body, sickly thin as it was, the bone structure of her face being easily visible due to the gauntness of her cheeks. Hugged to her breast was a ceramic doll dressed in a gothic lolita style of fashion, and her her left and a couple paces behind was a robotic looking puppet.

As she walked shakily through the city of Otogakure the woman looked in wonder at all of the things she had never seen before. Her entire life had been spent confined from the world, and now that she had been freed the woman was in an entirely new world. She stopped by a shop and looked through the large glass windows at the products they displayed, yet that was not what she looked at. She was looking beyond the products and at the women that were inside, using these strange things to paint their faces. Cocking her head to the side Karissa heard the door open and saw an unusually busty lady step out of the shop and walked up to her.

"Ignōsce! Amīca." She said before remembering people would not understand her. Slowly she tried to continue, though her speech was slow and her accent very distinct. "Why are those people in there painting their faces with that weird stuff?"

Mouse had moved gracefully though the doors to the street where a girl with a large puppet behind would come up to her and speak. Her eye brow raised slightly at the girl as she was accosted by a words she had no want to learn what they meant. With a slight frown to follow shortly after, as she listened to the question asked to her.

Face painting indeed!

Her hands curled slightly shut as she would pointedly smile at the girl as she thought of a answer, before she would merely say slightly put off by this,

"it competes the image you are required to give to others. Has not anyone taught you this basic social etiquette, sugar?"


her soft gray eyes stared at the girl as she spoke, her lips were held in a smile that was not touching her eyes, her eyes held a storm in them. the quiet before storm would to call mouse nicely right this second.

[Karissa Byers]

Clueless to the world outside she stared at the woman, not noticing that her smile did not reach her eyes. Her head cocked slightly to the side before she spoke, "So-shal eddy-kate? Is that food?" She looked down at the doll, "Does Dianna know what Soshal eddykate is?" With a twitch of her thumb, one she was not aware of herself, the doll's head shook, "I see, do you know Mr. Snuggles?" This time her pinkie finger twitched and the puppet's head nodded, "Really?" She looked somewhat excited as her pinkie was twitching, the head of the robotic puppet nodding as if it were speaking, yet no noise was made.

"Wow, Mr. Snuggles smart!" She would then look back to the large breasted woman that she had addressed earlier and the sickly thin girl would say, "I try soshul eddykate?" Her eyes were sparkling, like that of a child promised sweets, excited at the prospect of something new.

Mouse would stare at the girl as she tried to figure out what the simple matter of social etiquette was to her funny little brain. She had to wonder what to do with this child, who to report her to? to get her help that she clearly needed. Then with a slight shake of the head, she would say to the girl,

"One can not simply try social etiquette, sugar. If you try it you wont like it, you need to believe in being a lady of common wealth. Someone of noble upbringings, and it doesn’t hurt if your a quick learner, sugar. Took me ten years of enrollment of my Uncle Felro. He was a master of the art of being a gentleman and gentlewoman. If I show you, you must be committed to ideal of what you will stand for; wealth, happiness and a true heart, Sugar."

Mouse said all this to see if the girl really wanted to try it or if she was just being silly. As it was, she was leaning to being silly. Her hands would smooth out the wrinkles of her dress. She didn't look the part of a ninja at all.

As the large breasted woman went on about things, Karissa's face steadily began to turn from excitement to confusion. Her lack of understanding was clearly painted on her face and while this woman continued to speak. Truthfully, the limited mastery that had over Common prevented her from having an understanding of many key words that had been spoken. She glanced down at the doll in her arms and when the speech had finished and the woman began straightening the wrinkles from her dress the frail looking girl began to converse with the doll in her arms.

To Mouse the language would be completely foreign, such was the way with dead languages. After a few moments of discussion, only Karissa's side of which would be heard, the frail woman spoke up, "What is happiness?"

[Se`faelne`some`]

Mouse had to chuckle at this kid, talking to the doll, really was a child like thing that was half endearing really but mostly foreign to her. A discussion would ensue with the object in the kids arms, and then ending with a question pointed to Mouse. Her tilted slightly, happiness? Dependent on what one would define as happiness as far as Mouse knew of in her head. With her hands folding slightly together in front of herself, she would speak,

"Happiness is that feeling of warmth in your heart, when you see someone you love smile at you."

Her eyes were clouded slightly as if she was remembering someone that she had thought of in happiness, before she would half shake her head and gently and politely smiled at the girl. She would then start to move away from the girl, back into the shop, she had a couple more things to refill since she was going to 'away' from her home for a short time.

[Karissa Byers]

Deciding that she did not care enough for the face painting, the girl decided she was going to return home. She was feeling rather hungry after all and the food she got out here always made her tummy feel a little icky.

A man in plate armor would appear and find the young girl. He passed her a letter silently before turning and walking away. Seemingly he knew who the girl was on sight and needed no further confirmation. Even better for Karissa, the letter was in flawless Latin.

[/i][/ul][/font]

[Karissa Byers]

Taking the letter as it was handed to her the white haired girl opened and read the note that was written perfectly in Latin. With a somewhat surprised look on her face she looked up to speak to the Knight, but the man was gone. So, she hurried home to ready herself for the trip, she was going on an Adventure and would bring some of her family with her.
