Who: Chris, and you! [open post]
When: May 20th-May 30th, except for the 21st, because she busy ICly that day
Where: Both the Far and Near Shore
What: General Open Post
[Singing in the Park]
[Chris didn't know when she'd started receiving prayers like this, but it was a welcome change from the kind she usually received while playing the role of Ishtar. In this case, a young guitar player was trying to become noticed, and wished someone would come along to help him...
... and well. Chris had wanted to get out and perform in public more.
And so she was standing in the middle of the park, looking embarassed... but also singing, and with a smile on her face as the young man played accompanying music on his guitar.]
...Those times when I felt like crying, and those times when I did~
You were always there for me, "Don't lose your way," you said to me...
As you came closer and grasped my hand, You, my special someone...!
[ooc - This is technically taken from another series, but I needed something softer and which fit her character, so let's just handwave that part.]
[All work and no play make tiny god something something]
Oh come on!
[Today, Chris found herself at an arcade in the Near Shore, playing one of those Cardass type arcade machines. As it turned out, CanColle cards suffered from the same horrible distribution rates as the actual mobile game, and Chris was dead set on earning that rare, limited edition "Tommy-chan" card.]
Alright, you stupid son of a bitch, this time I'm winning that card, or you and I are going to have words.
[And so Chris shoved another yen coin into the machine, and narrowed her eyes, focusing on the gameplay... which appeared to be some weird hybrid of a strategy game, a rhythm game, and bullet hell involving anthropomorphized firearms? Somehow, it worked.
But she was determined to see this through... even if how well she did barely had a limited influence on what cards she earned.]
[Living on a prayer]
[Today? Today was about work. Chris had gone on a scouting, err, outing to gather information in advance of handling a prayer, but somehow, she'd managed to be caught unaware and was now deeply involved in a battle against an ayakashi that had been ruining a farmer's crops.
Said ayakashi looked like a very demonic, very large crow.]
Son of a bitch son of a bitch son of a bitch...!
[She'd already transformed into her gear form, but for now, she was focused on leading the enormous bird away from the populated area. Which meant running, and not being able to fight back. Continuing to curse to herself, she sent a text message to anyone she had in her social network, imploring them to see if they could come help...]
[Shopping]
[It was summer now, and Chris couldn't keep relying on all the clothes that Ginia and Irisviel had lent her. They were all more fitting for colder weather or formal occasions, and she needed something light and breezy.
So, she went out on multiple days, hitting clothing stores, malls, and shopping centers, shopping for clothes. Not just that, but things to decorate her temple. And... on several days? She'd found herself in shops she didn't normally frequent at all, like jewelry stores and shops that sold Japanese antiques. She could be found in such places, looking unsure of herself and staring hard in concentration at their wares.
She had a friend's birthday coming up after all.]

[If you want to thread with Chris but aren't feeling any of the prompts, just PM my journal and we can work something out!]

[Chris steps away from the cardass machine, looking nervous.]
It takes good reaction time, though. Are you sure you're up to it?
no subject
[ It was only a few coins to play, it's not like it would break the bank. After getting properly seated and ready to play, Elfnein hits the start button, and waves of icons show up on the screen. ]
This is the music section right?
[ Elfnein's tapping the buttons to the beat and so far there isn't even a missed note. ]
no subject
[Chris blinks. Oh wow, she's really doing it.]
N-Never mind. Wow, you're really good at this.
no subject
[ More perfect button tapping, it's like a pro is playing even though this is the first time Elfnein's even touched the machine. ]
no subject
Elfnein, after this, we should see how good you are at the games Iskandar and I play.
no subject
What sort of games do you two play?
no subject
[A thought occurs to her, and she scowls.]
We'll have to turn public voice chat off.
no subject
[ Wouldn't you want to talk with others if you're on the same team... ]
Ah, you can have the card I won Chris, the odds of it being the one you want might be higher due to the score.
1/2
[She patted Elfnein's shoulder.]
Don't worry, we can keep team voice chat on. And, ah, thanks, that's really nice of y-
2/2
I-I don't believe it...
[There it was. The object of her desires. The subject of all her effort.]
T-Tommy-chan...
no subject
[ Elfnein wouldn't have minded playing another round if need be to get the card but guess the odds were good this time. ]
