barbie girl in a barbie world

Who: Wendy

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.

After a very bewildering first day, including following a magic wolf to a cozy hill house (well, 'following' in the loosest sense of the word, since it seemed like they were both making things up as they went along), Wendy... thinks she's ready to try and move on.

Everything is confusing, and unreal, and in the midst of it all, she tries to latch onto the things that do make sense. And today, that means finding new clothes.

Dressed in the swirl of a pink dress she'd arrived in- still good, she thinks, not too dirty yet- she sticks to Kairi's side after making her way to the other girl's temple and having teleported through her god's shrine. "So... Where do we go first, then?" She'd grabbed some money from her own god's shrine, but, honestly? It doesn't seem like a lot... and, frankly, it's not a currency she's familiar with. But, hey, it's better than nothing, right? With her long hair tied back in a long braid instead of the fancy buns she'd started out with, Wendy twirls it a little inbetween her fingers as she looks around.

A
[After detaching from Kairi, Wendy has gone to explore some things of her own. Although... She guesses, in the end, that just means wandering and staring, eyes wide as she stops to admire person after person.]

Wow... So this is what people wear, huh?

[With that in mind... Her pink dress doesn't stand out much at all, although now she finds herself wishing she'd gone through the effort of doing her hair up again.]

B

[Now that she's stopped gaping at all the different styles- from the sleek to the outlandish, befitting Harajuku- Wendy is going on the tough journey of finding just the right clothes. And it's... harder than it looks. After all, she's pretty small and petite, for one thing, and for another, she's going on a limited budget.]

[For now, she tries to find the more plain things, carefully inspecting the quality and investigating the price tag. Occasionally, she'll ask someone for help in looking for things that fit her requirements.]

[And, sometimes, she'll glance over at the more cute and expensive things with obvious longing. One of these days, she's really going to have to figure out how to make more money...]

Hair And Everything With It

[Kairi's spending a whole lot of time admiring the fashions of the girls walking around but paying particular attention to their hair accessories.]

Wow, it almost makes me want to grow my hair out just to put more of those cute things in it. Or, wait-

[Some poor girl just leaned over the wrong way and lost her beautiful indigo wig with curls everywhere and a tiny hat perched on top of it. She clearly has short black hair underneath there!]

Wigs! Of course, I didn't even think about that.

Keep It Casual

[One thing she knows is that the more fabric, the more expensive something is. So part of her effort to stretch her allowance includes shopping for skorts first, and cute socks, and gloves (hah), and then some thin tops that are DEFINITELY getting something underneath of them before Kairi wears them. They're either so sheer-lacy that she can't imagine her bra not showing, or they're thick fabric but incredibly narrow cuts.]

Actually, if you see a pair of cute gloves - maybe longer than wrist length - let me know? It'd be kind of funny to make that a signature fashion statement sometimes.

[And then she laughs coyly unless someone wants to ask why.]

Shoes! Girl's Gotta Work.

[In her defense, she actually didn't care much about shoes before ... well, before. She thinks. But the fact is that she has this problem of spending a lot of time at Sora's temple where there's sand everywhere and the sandals she likes wear do the job well, but then there's prayers with Roxas and sandals are just not a good idea there. She has one good pair of walking shoes, but now she needs a really good athletic pair too. She's starting to wonder if Harajuku's really the best place to look for some though...]

Mmm - these are really pretty, but I'd almost hate to get them dirty?

[She gestures to her star-shaped hairpin.]

Kind of like how I have to leave Senri's present to me at home too, when I'm out on prayers.

[[ ~~doki doki suru toki muteki deshou~~ ]]

[ About halfway through the afternoon, anyone towards the back of the shopping party may notice the person who'd been looming over their shoulder in the very back of the shopping party isn't there any more. Hibiki, who had only tagged along because she'd hoped to give Wendy a treat for being her Very First Worshipper, has had enough of all this camaraderie and bonding nonsense. She's got her own objectives. Might as well get to them.

Off she peels from the group, hands in her pockets. Though she's more strolling than anything else, she's moving like a person who knows exactly where they're going.

Which she is. She has comprehended the situation sufficiently. Now, all that remains is to make use of PriPara to travel back to Parajuku. From there, she can fetch the necessary supplies and return, ready to truly make this godhood her own. Everything amiss with her life will be sorted out once she gets to PriPara. Yes, in this case, as in all cases, PriPara is the eternally-shining solution!

She keeps looking up at the horizon, though, and frowning. Her apartment building is supposed to be right over there. And it isn't.

How irritatingly off-putting. ]

[ A ]
[ At some point he ends up at a keychain display outside a shop, and is looking through them with interest. He's not intending to buy anything but just looking is fun too. He comes across things like bunnies with coffee cups and similar things and really, aren't they just irresistible. ]

How cute.

[ Does shinki need jobs? He's going to get a job so he can buy cute things like this. ]

[ B ]
[ And then there's all the hilariously weird sunglasses that some shops sold. He couldn't help laughing at himself, and take pictures with his phone.

He might startle people when he suddenly burst out laughing on several occasions, which was not his intentions. ]

[ Helping people out seemed to be his thing so he was looking around for the girl that he met on the beach. Hopefully she'll show up at some point. Though, the idea of looking into clothes that people wore daily was also somehow fascinating. Hopefully, he'll be able to look into clothes for his own gender. After all being something that wasn't human, clothes weren't exactly a necessity.

He's curiously eyeing some stores as he looked around for said little girl. Hopefully he won't get too much of a scare either. ]
