Open Mingle

[toremainbehind]

Who: Everyone
Where: Near Shore (Possibly Paris, but people are free to shop all over the world, too)
When: September 28th
What: Shopping mingle!


By now everyone should have gotten that invitation for a formal party, right? Which means it's time for one thing: shopping.

Either it's by coincidence that everyone has thought up of the same place or through the courtesy of Hibiki (whose luck had ran out on her this time), people are going on a shopping trip in the fashion capital of the world: Paris. There are always fun and new outfits to try or, or if Paris simply doesn't have your style, feel free to head to another city.

So, have fun shopping. Enjoy yourselves.

And possibly remember to pay for the clothes you want to buy. Clothes aren't cheap, after all.

One of the malls they can be starting from is this lovely place. Try not to get lost.


[ooc; This is an open shopping mingle for anyone and everyone who simply want to go shopping, need an outfit for that formal party event coming up, or you're part of CelePara in which your shopping trip is being invaded by other people. Feel free to make top levels for your guys and have fun!]

A hooded blazer should do.

[There's a brief pause in his work, mostly out of surprise.

A blink and he looks at Eric's face.]

...Now, when did you start calling me Kusanagi-san? [It's asked with a gentle smile as he knows it's been a while since Eric's called him that, but it's also a bit dangerous if he's managed to remember something Izumo isn't sure he can't ask about.]

[redstray]

At least fancy clothes have some practical uses...

[ They seem so useless otherwise.

He sees the smile but he still gets a bit uncertain. Patching together memories who knew what was the right thing or wrong thing. ]

Ah, is it bad to?

[toremainbehind]

Ever watched a spy movie, Eric? Spies seem to wear a lot of suits in those.

[He shakes his head, straightening up to place his hand on top of his head.]

No, it isn't. It's a pleasant surprise.

[redstray]

[ He scoffs ] They'd be torn before half their missions were done. How could they move in things like these?

[ He doesn't move or flinch from the headpat. because he's learned now, when it's from people he knows, it's nice. They aren't hurting him or ordering him. ]

I got another memory...and that's what I remember calling you. Kusanagi-san, Totsuka-san and Mikoto-san...

[ He had used those honorifics before when he first got here but they quickly left when no one told him to use them. ]

[toremainbehind]

Isn't that a wonder.

[The admission has Izumo still a bit in surprise before he breathes out softly, a gentle smile on his face.

So, Eric somewhat remembers him, Totsuka, and Mikoto, huh? That's good.]

It's nice hearing that again, I'll admit.

[redstray]

I can keep calling you that then, if you want.

[ He was glad to see Kusanagi-san happy about that. In his head it made more sense than Izumo now. He would call him Izumo if he wanted, but...somehow it was nice calling him that. Like it had been missing. ]

Mikoto-san...said once I had good memories. I didn't think I could but...I got a good one back. It had some bad, but the good made it go away.

[toremainbehind]

I don't mind if you do, Eric.

[It's a bit of a past he hasn't allowed himself to dwell on it.]

Well, Mikoto's right about that, at least. Sometimes all it ever takes is a good memory or a good thing to make all the bad ones go away.

[Ah, he's feeling a bit homesick now.]

[redstray]

Alright, Kusanagi-san.

[ He nods. ]

In this case, it was Mikoto-san who helped the bad go away. You and Totsuka-san went out, you asked if I could come and I said no. I went to sleep and had...[ He shivers ] a pretty bad nightmare. But, Mikoto-san woke me up, and he helped me feel better, and protected me so I could fall back asleep.

[toremainbehind]

[He laughs a bit.]

That sounds like Mikoto. Ever the protective guard lion even if he'd just look overall grumpy about it.

[And that...aches a bit. He moves on.]

I'm glad you've received a happy memory.

[redstray]

[ He smiles shyly in return, it did sound like the guy now that he knew a little bit more. And wasn't scared that he was a bad person from a gang that had treated him badly. ]

It's nice...you have something like that now...

[ His thoughts trail off as he blinks, realizing something after awhile. ]

Ah, you...remember things now, right? Since your a god...

[toremainbehind]

...Yes, I do.

[This might be dangerous, Eric. Ask carefully.]

[redstray]

Is it difficult? Having memories back?

[ He shuffles his feet about, realizing that probably was intrusive. And also unsafe possibly. ]

Ah...is that even okay to ask? This place makes you walk on eggshells with so much

[toremainbehind]

[There's a brief pause as he thinks over the question before:]

In a way, it is. And it's fine to ask. [He just can't talk about anything personal.] But I had some help readjusting to it. It's like being a shinki and waking up with a random memory plopped into your head.
