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.

"Oh! Hey!" For all the effort she put into her disguise, Pinkie doesn't really care about being spotted by people she actually knows; she turns about to greet Artolo brightly. "Nah, I'm just hanging out!"

Because, as we all know, regular people hang out and watch children meet Snow Bear.

[Wolfram scoffs, carefully crosses one leg elegantly over the other. And continues picking at his cookie with his fingers, paying attention to it and not even glancing at Xanxus next to him.]

I'm not giving someone a present that someone else picked out. How heartless and uncaring do you think I am?

The bears are everywhere. Were there this many bears last year?

[ Ivan doesn't know. He can't seem to remember the holidays last year. It doesn't matter. There were probably evil bears then too, only he didn't realize how horrible they could be. ]

[ With a sigh, Ivan slumps into his seat. The book goes back into the bag for now. ]

It's a ninja spirit, and it makes me see random visions, and now... whenever I touch something, I get a weird... sensation. I have to be constantly bumping into the spirit because it's possessing me. Or at least hanging around. It makes the most sense to me.
dishevelment: Messala (plain spoken)

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-12-11 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nodded gravely, humming as he mulled over those words.]

I see, so your ninja motif is more than a simple motif. What sort of visions has the spirit been showing you?

I shop there, but I am also looking for Solstice gifts. The gifts won't come until after.

[Tamara smiles at this.]

Plushies, anything Victorian or Edwardian... and for some reason I'm really into medical things right now.
scalpedsociety: (introspective)

[personal profile] scalpedsociety 2015-12-11 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I have no idea. I was about to get out the sharpie out before you came along.

They put 'em out there for a reason, don't they? After everything, I think we've earned some back rubs.

[ Messed up as he is right now, he can't quite help feeling that Luce is only just humoring him for the time being, but he'll take what he can get. ]

It's that, or they let us loose on the keyboard displays, and they'll never get those back.

I still have shopping to do...

[ But it's hard to avoid the Snow Bear. It's the symbol of the season. Ghosts and bears, what a great combination for a shamisen player struggling with both. ]

It feels like the season is out to get me.

My image in the band came before the ninja started haunting me.

[ He gives a small, pathetic laugh. ]

But... a lot of times, I'm seeing the ninja spirit fight for their life from their perspective. I've seen some nicer visions, but the dangerous ones always stand out the most. He's not a very good ninja either. They started haunting me on tour, I think, but they really got active during the Gala.

[ Karaoke is no commitment to be made lightly. Her agreement turns his smile a little brighter. ]

Our own secret concert. Only the most VIP invited.
maipokerface: (of almost everything)

[personal profile] maipokerface 2015-12-12 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[In the end Mai tries to catch Aramat by a wrist to shuffle her out of the mingling crowd. This is how fanfictions begin probably but she really doesn't want to have to break down to the sharpie point.

In fact she's rolling her eyes again.]


If I sign anything else, I'll die.

[Okay maybe dramatic but ugh.]
dishevelment: Messala (keen)

[Koumei stayed quiet during the explanation, expression one of veiled and distant interest in the young man's words so as to not give cause for alarm. All the while, his mind was a whirl with questions, the primary one of which being:

Was Virgo affected by the strange Plague that was spreading around Pride HQ as well.]


They sound like a very interesting individual, [he said at length, sipping at his extra hot double strength coffee.]

Have you considered keeping a record of what they're trying to tell you? That might prove a more beneficial option than seeking an exorcism.

And everyone who happens to be in there. Unless they are the VIP?

[She takes the two steps necessary to push the door open for him. There will be no backing out now! Come on, Greg.]

[ At least it's just a backhanded compliment and not a backhand. He has no actual reason to do that yet. Besides, he just feels like sharing the festive spirit by shitting on it. ]

Only twelve? Fucking twelve too many if you ask me. I don't think they have anything but this canned bullshit. We could do so much better in our sleep.

[ He canes his way over to stand next to Squalo and smirk. It's an evil little smirk. ]

You want to fix the problem with me?

[He's only here because he knows he should be. Whether or not he actually wants to be is up for debate, but doing anything besides sequestering himself in his room does help ward the head-problems away. He's not exactly being social though, defaulting to people-watching or just walking around. Doctor's orders after the fiasco with Kimiko, and the very same reason why gym-hopping isn't an alternative choice right now.

Krieg doesn't realize it's Luce at first--all he sees is a pile of bagged merchandise with legs, which honestly seems like just a hazard to everyone in the immediate vicinity.
]

...You need help with that?
pecsonpecs: (NO HAIR FOR FLOWERS??)

[personal profile] pecsonpecs 2015-12-13 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He watches it happen...whatever it is. He's seen it in himself and others countless times now, and apparently Xanxus is no exception. As he ditches the store to reintegrate with the crowd, Krieg glances at the people around to check if there's anyone around whose opinion would matter before lightly nudging Xanxus on the arm as he goes by.]

What was that all about?
variaboss: (intense)

[personal profile] variaboss 2015-12-13 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs a little. He can't help it. ] Do you really want the answer to that? I mean if I could, I would totally have someone do it for me. Then we wouldn't have to be tortured by the endless string of Solstice music over the mall speakers. Least we don't have to do anything for the fans unless we want. I'm thinking of cutting a special album. You do...classical music stuff right?
iitrebel: (sassybird) (Thanks for reminding me of all the)

[Well. Time to make his peace with the idea of death.]

[Which is to say Artolo grips onto the cart with everything he has and screams like a train going off the tracks into a warehouse full of broken rubber chickens.]
