003 ✽ I'll be with you again

Who: Various Virgos and Priders
What: What's that? Mall trip? MALL TRIP. A mingle log for party clothes and holiday gifts of all sorts.
When: Before the inter-label party
Where: The Wave Boulevard Mega Mall
Warnings:

Luce hits her fellow Virgo musicians like a hurricane. A loving, maternal hurricane.

For the lucky ones whose numbers she has, it's simply a ring up that morning inquiring if they'd like to go to the WBMM that day for some holiday shopping, or to pick out any clothes for the inter-label party if nothing in their closet is satisfying them. "Or if you just want some fresh air while we still have it," she jokes, even if the more empathetic can taste a hint of sharpness in that line. My, whatever could she be referring to?

For the unlucky ones... She makes a personal visit, practically sweeping some people off their feet. It's a rush of friendly chatter that's almost overwhelming, and some people might find themselves agreeing without realizing what they've done until Luce simply beams as she says she'll pick them up in an hour. "Oh, and you might want to wear a hoodie or something like that. Don't want the paparazzi bothering you too much!"

Congratulations, all of you: You've just agreed to the great mall trip whether you meant to or not.

The Wave Boulevard Mega Mall, or the Double M as it's known to locals, is the largest mall both in Vista City and this side of Americana. Considering things, that's an impressive feat. It's an enormous multi-level building filled to the brim with practically anything your little capitalist heart could desire. Various department stores, a movie theater dominating an entire two floors, an arcade somewhere, proper restaurants and food courts both.... It's called a "mega mall" for a damn good reason.

Once everyone gets there, they're let loose to their own devices.

As for Pride Records? Well. Maybe some of you are just at the mall for your own reasons. Maybe you got a call from Luce or another Virgo friend talking about the place. You don't need much of a reason to be there. Double M is that kind of place.

Tamara! For shame.

[So guess which of her asshole band children has wandered into Spicy Thesis and noticed what she's doing? Yep.]

[Artolo isn't really judging, however. The grin on his face isn't that type. He's just amused.]

I don't know, man, do you think you got one big enough?

[Oh look, it's this nerd. Artolo is grinning down at the enormous cookie in Wolfram's hands and yeah... He's definitely not going to ask to share, don't worry. He knows how it is.]

It's just like those creepy dead bears.

[ He's mentioned the bears that the card themed woman seemed to control before. He must have. Those things are horrible, and all these bears only serve to remind him of them. Why does there have to be so many of them? ]
sponsorigami: icon of Ivan looking at certain doom (漫画 You know about the bicycle incident?!)

Doctor has competition for his cello's love?!

[personal profile] sponsorigami 2015-12-09 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ The cello part is what he chose? Ivan would have thought the lyrics would have been what someone outside of the band would pick. Then again, he's a musician, so maybe it's not so weird. Ivan continues humming his part of the song as he reads, but he stops when a paragraph demands more focus.

"The presence of spirits can cause sudden cold sensations and headaches upon contact." A prickling sensation is like what one feels when cold, kind of like goosebumps but stronger and stranger... Ivan doesn't have the words to fully describe what he feels. Could the ninja spirit be constantly with him, and he keeps "bumping" into him whenever he touches something? Could the ninja spirit be possessing him right now but being passive about it?

Ivan's grip on the book tightens. Maybe this wasn't the best thing to read while waiting to be found. He's just going to imagine bumping into an invisible ninja spirit over and over.
]

It can't be... can't it? Leave me alone already.

[ Like the spirit will hear his whispers and heed his request. ]

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-12-09 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Holy shit, man, escaping from furries is a sacred thing. That's probably why Squalo accepted him into the cart. You can dislike someone all you want, but in certain situations, you just have to help if you're human. ]

[ He looks back at him with a shit-eating grin. It's obvious he's having fun. ]


Look, if you're gonna complain about it you're free to get out and walk.

[ ...as if they're in some kind of a private limo and not a shopping cart with no brakes. That's quickly approaching the escalators... ]

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-12-09 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yup. Just WOOOSHed right past him while delightfully screaming all the while... quite possibly knocking that cane right out of his hand. ]

[ Luckily, his journey ends at a nearby wall rather than anything breakable. He flies out of the cart like a rubber ball and somehow manages to land on his feet... mostly. A foot and a knee. ]


Vooooi, you're right! I should fucking charge for it!

[ Because obviously hearing his lovely voice is a privilege. ]

A Dat Roller coaster
[ Did anyone want to ride the roller coaster there at the mall? Because this guy sure does! He had hesitated when Luce invited him at first until she mentioned the roller coaster and he was the first one rushing out the door to catch the ride over.

Doctor joins the line of strangers waiting their turn to take a ride. A few people recognize him despite the jacket and sunglasses he has on and he signs autographs for them. Eventually he turns to those in line nearby to pass the time with some conversation.
]

I haven't been on a roller coaster in years. When was your last ride?

B Silly Hats

[ If you're in the right clothing store at the right time you'll find Doctor standing in front of a mirror next to several hat racks. One by one he makes his way though the different types of hats. Baseball caps, bowler hats, fedoras... He doesn't pick up every hat available but he still tries on a large portion of them. Some look good on him, others... not so much. Throughout the entire process he appears to be deep in thought. ]
dishevelment: (loose -- state of affairs)

Nah-- Koumei loves his piano more!

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-12-09 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[The melody slowed to a halt at those words-- and Koumei cast Ivan a sidelong look of veiled curiosity. A glance at the book in his hands revealed much about Ivan's current interests, but nothing about his thought process.

He sighed into his coffee and hung his head. It was disappointing. As a fan of Flowers over Bones from even before he started fraternizing with the band members, he had wanted to converse with the young man who favored the Shamisen.

But, if his presence wasn't welcome...]


I'm sorry. I'll give you your peace now.

[And he stood, as if to walk away.]
variaboss: (glower)

[personal profile] variaboss 2015-12-10 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's between yelling at the reckless asshole for knocking his pimpcane right out of his hand or laughing his ass off when he crashes. But wow, that's an impressive landing. Xanxus would probably have ended up on his ass. So he'll settle for a flat expression and a golf clap ]

8.9... it would have been higher but the Russian Judge doesn't like anyone. And right now, your voice is actually a lot better than that bullshit over the mall speakers. How many times have they played Fluffy, the Blue Skinned Grizzly now?
variaboss: (intense)

SILLY HATS

[personal profile] variaboss 2015-12-10 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Xanxus is actually in the store looking for something else. He's looking for some gifts for his bandmates. The Carnies are a pain in the ass to buy for honestly. It's hard. He should know all about them. All about what they like. But he feels like he's shopping for strangers. Wierd. Even weirder, there's The Doctor, putting on all manner of hats.

He ambles over and picks up a hat and frowns. It's labled wrong. It says it's a Fedora but it's obviously a Trilby. But more than that, the other man seems really focused on those hats.

Penny for your thoughts?
scalpedsociety: (not one fuck given)

[personal profile] scalpedsociety 2015-12-10 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Listen, the accessories looked cute ok. I hate going to the mall.

[So defensive.]
sponsorigami: Ueda Rising Ivan pushing aside his bangs (上田 Letting you see another side of me)

[personal profile] sponsorigami 2015-12-10 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ah! N-No! It wasn't you.

[ He wouldn't have come over to him if he wanted to be alone. How does one be social? Worrying about ghosts in front of them is probably not a good start. Ivan runs a hand through his hair and then points to the cover of his book. ]

Sorry, it's nothing to do with you. I was just... Well, something's happening to me, and I think... I'm kind of being... haunted... Constantly now...

[ Hopefully Koumei doesn't think he's gone completely insane. Ivan's beginning to wonder himself. ]
incensus: yeah, you stay real close, I will reach you (➤ but if you keep real close)

[personal profile] incensus 2015-12-10 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Though Wolfram's a lot more relaxed now that he's not out among the hoards of holiday shoppers and is taking a break, he still gives this stranger a wary look as he comes closer. Which quickly turns into a small glare when Xanxus decides to sit next to him. He chews his cookie with determination before swallowing and pausing in his eating to actually speak. A stranger Xanxus may be, but he also recognizes him as being from another Pride band. So at least there's that.]

When I have to.

[He speaks slowly, and there's a questioning lilt to his words. Unspoken, but it's there: why are you talking to me?]
incensus: didn't know how to say the words (➤ we were both in the same place)

[personal profile] incensus 2015-12-10 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[This nerd gives a haughty sniff at Artolo's question.]

They didn't sell them in a larger size. Unless I bought a cookie cake, but that's just ridiculous.

[He's not going to eat an entire cookie cake by himself. Not in the mall, at least.]
variaboss: (you suck)

[personal profile] variaboss 2015-12-10 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's lounging the best he can right now. They probably make quite the image. Little blond gothy kid and huge scar covered punk. Grandmothers everywhere are probably clutching their pearls just looking at them. ]

So, you don't have people for that? I'm sure if you wanted, you could get your management to get you personal shoppers or some shit like that.

[ His answer pretty much says it all. He's talking to the kid because he feels like it. Mostly because he's bored and he needs a breather before he walks around some more. ]
sponsorigami: Ivan going overboard with the Japanese things (漫画 Ivan stop that! What are you doing?!)

C

[personal profile] sponsorigami 2015-12-10 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ There is one Flowers Over Bones member taking a break from shopping and really getting into a round of Step Step Rotation. Ivan's lost himself to the music, forgetting his worries about ghosts and ninja spirits and the pressures of the music industry. His steps hit their mark right in time with the song, one of Vigro Entertainments' big hits from last year.

He also has a coin on the machine showing that he's going to play again after this song.

sharktrash: (smirk // glare)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-12-10 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Lol pimpcane more like bitchcane. But we don't talk about that. ]

Fucking Russians!

[ Yeah he's playing along, and grinning in a pleased manner when Xanxus sort of backhand-compliments his voice. Okay maybe he's reading into it too much, but he's not about to pass a chance to preen. ]

Twelve since I got here. Don't they have any other theme music?
dishevelment: Messala (plain spoken)

They get along okay anyway-- they'd both have a good laugh over it.

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-12-10 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Koumei cast the young man a quiet, assessing glance as he said those words, noting the unease and fear in his tone and body language. Relenting, Koumei took his seat once again.]

Haunted? How so?

[It was honest curiosity, Besides, if Ivan was 'insane' because of this, then there were many in Pride-- Koumei included-- who could also be described that way.]
iitrebel: (askthestargazers) (I feel like the Devil slapped me in)

[personal profile] iitrebel 2015-12-10 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you even know how to slow down long enough for me to get out?

[Because Squalo seems permanently on some sort of something, and Art is starting to suspect that this means he'll only stop when his heart finally gives out on him.]

[If it does not literally explode out of his chest, frankly, Art will be surprised.]

[But that's for later, as he looks around and oh shit that sure is a destination.]


Oh fuck. You asshole, we are literally going to die.
iitrebel: (askthestargazers) (I feel like the Devil slapped me in)

[personal profile] iitrebel 2015-12-10 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You could probably find not tacky ones on, like... Fetsy, or whatever.

[Weird internet sites are always the better go to, anyway.]

So what exactly is cute for you, huh?
iitrebel: (sassybird) (Sorry for trying to baptize you)

[personal profile] iitrebel 2015-12-10 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't sound ridiculous to me.

[But then... Artolo is the kind of ridiculous jackass who would eat a whole cookie cake.]
sharktrash: (shouting // don't get in my way)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-12-10 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He probably is, though sometimes it's just high caffeine content espressos made with Red Bull instead of water, and not actual drugs. Or maybe it's part of his personality, who knows. ]

[ ...THAT IS MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK and it just might happen one day... when Mammon is here, though, we don't want it to be lethal. ]

[ Artolo will only get a fit of sharp, manic laughter for his worries. ]


Hell nah! Just gonna get shaken up a bit. HOLD ONTO YOUR DIIIIICK!! --

[ AND DOWN THEY GO ]

Pretty well. Can't say I've looked much into hair bands and make-up.

[Helmet joke.

She only brought her phone this time. Its just easier right now.

You heard her, leave.

[A few of the fans are reluctant but if beloved Mother Datura says to leave, they'll leave. Not without a few withering glances for Mai though. She rolls her eyes, waves her hand at the stragglers and looks back to Aramat.]

What do you do to attract them besides existing?
