[PM/Action for the Quad] [02]

[PM to Grell]

Hey Grell? Do you possibly maybe want to go shopping with me? I need help figuring out what's in style here and, y'know, a second pair of eyes is always good! And maybe you can help me figure out what the heck to wear to Homecoming.

[Action]

[Rikku really likes the quad. It's open, it's busy, and there are plenty of distractions from her stupid lousy Accounting and Stats homework. Ugh. Numbers yes. Stupid ways of computing numbers? Not so much.

And no, she's not in the bikini. Some wonderfully awesome NPC person gave Rikku a change of clothing.]

That hardly needs asking. We can go anytime.

Is now good? Because I have an outfit some awesome person gave me and my uniform and my bikini and that's kinda it.

[BBS] all messages, even responding to a PM, are visible. >.>

[redcinemareel]

Now is fine. Where would you like to meet?

[BBS] ooooooh. One day I'll get the hang of this.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Out in the lobby?

[BBS] it's very odd. but don't worry lol

[redcinemareel]

Dress accordingly.

[And Grell will be waiting in a nice dress with her hair in a high pony tail. White shoes and her usual red bag, since she does not feel like changing them.]

[Rikku's just in shorts and a T-shirt, as well as her boots. She stops for a second and glares at Grell playfully]

Not fair. I want your legs. I don't look half that good in a dress!

Re: [perma-action]

[redcinemareel]

[Grins at Rikku. Oh, this will be an excellent shopping trip.]

This is as much as I'm willing to show outside of the beach. [Meaning: she wishes she could wear shorts. Too much skin being shown on her own body makes her uneasy. Go figure.] I think we just need to find the right dress!

[Cid's also rather fond of the quad, but unlike Rikku, he doesn't go there to hide from or become distracted from any homework. Irregardless, he comes over to say hello and see how she's doing.

If nothing else, she doesn't seem quite so lost anymore and she's not wandering around in a bikini!]

Have you settled in now?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

[And this time, she doesn't fall over!]

A bit, yeah. It turns out the swimming instructor is a friend's dad, so that helped!

[focusedfate.livejournal.com]

[Progress has been made!]

Ah--[A moment's pause as he comes up with the right name.]--Jecht, is it? I am delighted to hear that you've managed to find someone from your own world here.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's him! I didn't know him all that well back home, but it's still nice to know people.

Though, uhm, is it really that unheard of for someone to be able to hold their breath underwater for ten minutes?

[focusedfate.livejournal.com]

[That draws a rather long pause from Cid. He's heard rumors about this entire "hold your breathe for twenty minutes" business, but...]

I'm of the belief that is a talent rather unique to your world.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

[A pause, then she grins]

Cool! It's too bad more people can't do it, though. That'd be really useful in the military, I'd think.

[moirailcompass]

[Hey, guess who also came to the Quad to do her homework. Yup that's right, Nepeta, and she is a bit loaded down since she is still trying to make up for that week of classes she missed. She looks around before shyly approaching Rikku]

Um, hi there!

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

[Rikku looks up and...is momentarily taken aback by the horns but then smiles]

Hiya!

[moirailcompass]

You're working on homework too? Mind if I join you?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Well, more like "doing my best to get distracted" but sure!

[Rikku scoots over to make room]

I'm Rikku.

[moirailcompass]

[Nepeta can empathize there. She takes a seat, setting her own backpack on the floor.]

Nice to meet you Rikku! My name is Nepeta.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

I think you're in two of my classes! At least, you look a little familiar. What classes are you doing homework for?

Action;

[ohsoschway.livejournal.com]

[Max chuckles as she notices Rikku's utterly disgusted look at her books and sits down next to her.]

Unsch--- bad class?

[Hey, she caught herself from saying it and confusing the poor girl.]

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Just boring. I mean, do I really need to know five ways of figuring out how much money this guy has?

[ohsoschway.livejournal.com]

If you want to be an accountant. Or anything that has to do with intel of embezzlement, I guess.

[She picks up the book, glancing it over.]

Least it's not trig?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

I don't even what that is but I don't think I want to.

[So. Dejected]

[ohsoschway.livejournal.com]

Higher form of math.

[She offers a smile.]

Want some help?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

There's more?!

[Horrified]

I think I'm good, it's just stupid and lame and boring. What's this got to do with machina and "computers" anyway?
