barbie girl in a barbie world

[nopixiedust]

Who: Wendy nopixiedust, Kairi pure_radiantics, and anyone interested whether they saw the BBS post or not
What: Time to go shopping! Because no one wants to walk around in the clothes they died in.
When: June 6, the day after the beach party
Where: The Near Shore, Harajuku, other places maybe

As usual for warm weather, the streets are bustling with all sorts of people. Hopefully everyone going along for this little venture can find each other.... Or don't and just cause shenanigans on your own. That's fine too.

[As Hibiki straightens up, so does Wendy. As always, it’s a mystery what goes through that kind of mind, but, well, at least she’s normal. Drinking and breathing and not having sudden fits that end with her on the floor. Wendy lets her have her time, glancing towards the people passing them by occasionally.]

[When words come out- and words that make sense, finally- Wendy looks back to her.]

Of course you did. [No sugarcoating here.] But as long as you’re not hurt, it’s fine. How do you feel?

[priforprince]

Also fine.

[ Hibiki drains her water. That's - an idea, isn't it? Even if PriPara isn't in Parajuku like it's supposed to be, a world without PriPara at all is unthinkable. If it's out there somewhere, she'll surely be able to find it. Even if it's impossible, she'll be able to do it.

She can do anything.

Yes, that thought makes her feel much better. ] Thanks to you.

[ She doesn't sparkle so much as exude warm fuzzies.

Which is, frankly, almost as scary as the disappearing under the table routine. ]

[nopixiedust]

[The warm fuzzies are definitely not what she was expecting, and Wendy has to pause. Wow. Hibiki is actually capable of things like this instead of sparkles and arrogance. Pigs must be flying.]

Well, it’s not as if I could just leave you there, right?

[...Actually she could have, but she doesn’t hate Hibiki, so.]

[ Another slow blink. Hibiki looks down at her empty cup. Again. Again, someone defied the logic of this world full of lies to...Someone who doesn't even know her.

But whatever this tight feeling is in her chest can't be more important than the fact that she has a new plan to look at. A glorious vision of the future, floating in front of her. Close enough to touch, if she just reaches out...

Hibiki sits up straighter. ] Of course not. Facilitating the removal of talents such as mine from this pantheon would make you unworthy of this afterlife.

[ She says this fairly calmly, as if it's the most obvious thing ever. And not a smokescreen for avoiding thinking about how weird she feels right now.

Still, you get a smile. ] Shall we go?

[nopixiedust]

[Don't make this weird, Hibiki]

[Crisis averted for now, Wendy stretches her arms over her head.]

Mmm, I think that's been enough excitement for one day. Lets go find the others so we don't think we got lost.

[....Or Hibiki run over, although no one but her would realize that was a possibility.]

[priforprince]

[ Right, everybody else. Hibiki had forgotten about everybody else after pointedly pretending they didn't exist all day.

But she is capable of being a gentleman, so she nods. ] I'll escort you.

[ Let her have her ego trip. It'll make her feel better. ]

[nopixiedust]

Well, if you insist.

[And after the whole mess of today, she’ll accept a little sweet treatment, so, after getting to her feet, she offers her arm with a smile.]

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki smiles back and accepts that hand. She'll be the perfect escort all the way back to everyone else, where she will promptly return to ignoring everyone.

She has more important things to think about now. Like how good she is at using computers, for one.

And how PriPara, wherever it's hiding, is a computer system. ]
