Shop 'Till You Drop! [SO VERY OPEN]

[starlightace]

It was nice to be out on solid ground, to breathe fresh and salt-tinged air, and to feel the real warmth of the sun on her neck and shoulders, Nanoha thought. She felt a very deep urge welling up within her breast to just take flight, to soar through an actual sky in the first time in months - and she had no doubt that she would.

But there were other things she had to take care of first. Like, for instance, swimsuit shopping with her best friend.

"Ooh, this store looks like it might have some cute ones!" Nanoha tugged on Fate's hand, pulling her towards one of the storefronts that lined this street of the bustling shopping district. Even if it didn't, there were still plenty of others to try, and plenty of cute outfits to convince Fate to try on.

"You're right, they do look cute. Let's go inside!" Fate said as she allowed Nanoha to drag her along, smiling at the other girl's excitement. Sure, she had a bad feeling Nanoha was going to take advantage of this shopping trip to get her into something embarrassing... but she didn't really care that much.

[starlightace]

Oh, not yet, Fate. Not... yet. Nanoha let go of Fate's hand to inspect the suits on the walls and hanging on the racks. She reached out to pick up a sky-blue one, holding it up in front of her and turning to Fate. "Hmm. What do you think about this one, Fate-chan?"

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

Fate turned away from the swimsuits she had been looking at to examine the one Nanoha picked out, head tilting to the side a little as she thought.

"I think it looks nice. It suit you."

Ye Olde Music Shoppe (Only, you know, not actually spelled that way)

[psi-flames.livejournal.com]

Jono wanted real clothes. Jeans and some t-shirts. Anything that didn't pulse, though he was almost used to it by now. Didn't mean he necessarily liked it after so long without one of his own.

But that could wait until he made the big purchase. Because he wanted to be absolutely certain he had the money for something major. Something he hadn't been able to find in W&P for whatever reason.

He wanted a guitar. Everything else could wait. Which was why he'd tracked down the music shop, stopping in the doorway to just stare at all the instruments on the wall. Blimey, he muttered.

Kate was also looking for more real clothes and food. Food that could hold up being stored. Because even packaged and canned food beats slop any day. She found a cello there, but it wasn't hers. Not really. She wanted her own, plus a bow, a stand and sheet music.

She almost bumped into Jono because of her focus toward the stringed instruments.

"Oh, excuse me." She then eyed the wall, "Wow... nice selection."

[psi-flames.livejournal.com]

Aye. Was thinkin' the same thing meself. He knew Kate because they'd been on the ship together so long. He didn't know her well, mostly because he was a bit anti-social, but he knew her. Not sure I recognize some of 'em, though. Suppose 'at has t' do with it bein' a multi-dimensional resort.

For people who want to head to a clothing store...

[capture-worlds.livejournal.com]

Having successfully completed the primary objective, Tsukasa thought about something he still needed: some extra clothes. The stuff Reinforce made for him was nice, but one outfit does not a wardrobe make.

So, he found himself at a nice little clothing store, looking around for some outfits that he thought would serve his needs.

[genociding.livejournal.com]

If there was one thing Euphemia needed right now, it was clothing. She was still clad in that plantsuit with a button-up shirt long enough to be a dress over it; she felt distinctly awkward dressed like this.

She wandered into the same clothing store Tsukasa was in, and started rummaging around, starting in the women's section, but then moving over to the men's section. Maybe she could find something nice for Lelouch...

[capture-worlds.livejournal.com]

He had a couple of ideas for outfits, but he wanted to look around some more before making any final decisions. He turned a corner, and passed Euphemia.

"Afternoon, miss." This cannot bode well for Tsukasa Kadoya.

Luke pulled out his omnicomm to check over the list he'd made on the way down as they walked past the rows of tourist-y stores and toward the ones where the actual day-to-day, mundane living went on. Back home, meals for stowing on ships were packaged, vacuum-sealed, and bought by the hundred in crates. Here, that wasn't much of an option. As this was a resort planet, the items in any given meal had to be purchased and stored separately, rather than prepackaged. Not that this bothered Luke much.

With a light touch on the speeder's yoke, he turned in front of one of the stores they'd been given in their directory of the planet and shut off.

"Okay," he said to Mara and Ben. "We're gonna get the things on this list and take it back to Stacy and the Shadow, then we're free to do anything else." He pointed at Ben. "If you find that snack you used to like, we are not getting more than two packages."

Ben rolled his eyes as he vaulted out of the speeder. "While you two wipe out their stash of caf and chocolate?"

Clothes Shopping

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

It was really fun having time to frolick in the water: she had no idea when it was going to happen again, so she freely enjoyed herself. Now that it was over and Sokka had no interst clothes shopping with her, Katara had gone off on her own, looking for something to wear, now that she had the chance. She had seen some of the people on the ship and waved at them as they passed by, hoping she might speak with them if she had the chance.

For now, she was off on her own, and was planning to look well.

Nura seems to have the same idea in mind. She's already visited her first store and has bought herself a pair of nice Ray-Bans, black, and located a hair-tye of some sort to put her long, luxurious white locks up in a high ponytail that swings when she sways and brushes time from time against the back of her neck.

Her quest? Clothes that don't seem to have a heartbeat. And while can't locate any futuristic stores (it seems that it is 21st century in retrospective) it will have to do.

When she passes by people she assumes are from the ship (the plantsuit is a dead give away) she nods her head with a bright smile, then moves along. And as she moves along, her eyes catch the sight of something lovely in a window...and she doesn't watch where she's going...so...

"Ooof!"

Whoever she has bumped into, she sorry!

[bonnypiperlad]

Jamie is poking about in some of the various racks, looking for shirts. He's pulled a black one out that has lacing up the front and at the wrists, and is looking at it thoughtfully when he catches a glimpse of a familiar form out of the corner of his eye.

Glancing up from the outfit, he cranes his head to get a better look - just to make sure he's not mistaken. He's fairly sure he's not, however, and a small smile appears briefly. He'll take the risk and call out anyway. "Katara!"

Laurie is going through the racks of cute, brightly colored tops that say "2 for $5.00". She's already picked out a nice, plain yellow t-shirt with a sunflower design on the front of it; now she's looking for another cute top.

When she thinks she's found the perfect second top, she turns around to show her shopping-companion. "What do you think?"

[ayasofia.livejournal.com]

"Ohh, Laurie I like it!" Sofia said, feeling the fabric between her hands. "It's cute!" Most of the clothes Sofia had picked out were also yellow and white. She was partial to the combination after Xavier's.

Fashion advice sorely needed...

[watchwith3hands.livejournal.com]

Rei loved clothes shopping. Trying things on, matching up different things, whatever. He loved it. Unfortunately, the poor boy had Deutreranopia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuteranopia#Dichromacy), and couldn't see red, green, or yellow. They were all just a sort of brownish-gray to him.

He was going through racks, looking for something to go with a shirt he'd picked out. A shirt that he thought was light gray. He'd found a vest he thought would go nicely, a lovely rich dark purple. Of course, he didn't realize the shirt he was holding was an ungodly shade of banana yellow.

He was going to need help if he was going to leave this store with any dignity still intact.

Re: Fashion advice sorely needed...

[neverwastenaya.livejournal.com]

"You might want to rethink that," Tenaya advised, giving Rei a look of complete disbelief. She'd already picked up a couple of things to try on (she'd done the calculations--it would all fit, but back home, Summer had insisted on her trying on the clothes they'd bought her to be sure they looked decent on her) and was on her way to the dressing room when she saw him. Normally, she'd try to mind her own business, but...

...Really, that color was just ghastly.

Crystal/materials shopping

[curiousredsoul]

As curious she was to everything about this whole resort, the Linar forced herself to deal with what she required first, among other things, crystals. A prime building blocks for the devices of her people. She had found a number of suitable such materials back on the ship, she thought it best to stock up while she had the chance. Besides while she looked for the suitable types it gave her a chance to browse through what other items the shops carried. Often drawn to the shinier of items and gems.

Miku's shopping bags hung at her elbow, several outfits' worth of miniskirts clothing carefully folded within. She was excited; new clothes made her happy, as well as the smart decision to search for some of the clothes on her own. It meant that she'd be able to look for Steve's present without worrying about him interrupting. At least, that was the plan.

Currently, she was peering at a selection of helmets, chewing her lip in thought.

[craaazyisland]

Steve had gone a little nuts at the first place he found that sold something equivalent to a teenage boy from Earth's attire, and had quite a few bags of his own in his hands.

"Hey!" he said as he popped up behind Miku, grinning. "Are you looking for your own helmet?"

[silky-doll.livejournal.com]

Clothes.

She had only been awake on this ship for a week or so, but Sylia was already thoroughly sick of the plantsuits. She could hardly imagine the torment that the rest of the crew had gone through with possible months without real clothes.

So in addition to plenty of outfits for herself, slung over her elbow in a great pile, she was busily picking through some silky fabrics in various colors as well as small sewing apparatuses. She had plans for her fellow crew members. Oh yes she did.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari blinked as she and Tailmon walked into the clothing store. "I'm so glad that we're able to find a place like this."

Tailmon sighed. "Why do you want clothes? You're plantsuit should work fine..."

Hikari shook her said. "Says the talking cat who doesn't wear any."

"I just think we have more important things to worry about. Like actual food."

Hikari just ignored that and walked deeper into the store... before seeing a familiar face. "Oh, Sylia. Hi!"

[tricks-of-trade.livejournal.com]

Hedonism and shopping: these things made for a deadly combination. The elf with huge ears (they bounced as she walked, no, really!) prowled the storefronts with a small, manic grin, talking to herself as she went.

"I want food and I want a hairbrush and I want a nice pair of leather pants and I --- ooooooh."

Choline had stopped flat-footed in front of a swimwear store. She wasn't even certain if the suits therein were even possible to swim in, but that wasn't the point.

[telekinetic_badass]

She also had a huge pair of something else that bounced when she walked, and leave it to Julian to focus on that.

"You should try some on," he told her as he approached. "I bet you'd look good in them."
