Mingling at the Bazaar

[cityship]

Next to the Mall Hotel, a large bazaar sprawled out through the streets. Food stalls, jewelery stalls, plastic surgery stalls...might want to stay away from that last one. But since the bizaar was close by, it served as a good place for the crew to meet up and start their exploration of XaXing.

[[ooc: This is just a general mingling post guys, so jump in and start threads, tag into other people's, whatever you want!]]

"No, no thank you!" Aqua apologized to a few of the plastic surgery vendors who tried to offer her some...enhancements to her already fairly impressive assets. She silently thanked Rein for teaching her about proper bra purchases and promised to buy another while here--but from one of the shops not affiliated with the plastic surgery vendors.

"Let's see," she said. "Magical items or crafts..."

Will blushed as she heard the same sort of things that Aqua had, and she made sure to keep as far away from those as much as possible.

So of course, she slammed right into Aqua accidentally.

Someone had just crashed right into her from behind. Aqua summoned her Keyblade and turned...only to see a teenage girl who looked just as flustered as she was.

"I'm sorry!" she apologized, letting the Keyblade disappear. "Are you okay?"

[kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com]

Will shook her head. "Sorry about that, I think that was my fault," she said, sighing. "I'm alright."

[rainfell-aqua.livejournal.com]

"No, it was my fault," Aqua apologized. "I've been jumpy a lot lately, and it's a little worse here." The leers from the merchants were the obvious explanation.

"My name's Aqua. You're Will, right?"

[kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com]

Will nodded. "Yeah, I see what you mean there," she said, glaring in the direction of one of those merchants.

"And yeah, I am. It's nice to meet you."

Of course, she had to wonder on how she knew about her, since she didn't think she was that well known on the ship.

"I'm Matt's friend," Aqua explained, seeing that Will was a little confused. "He's mentioned you."

Seeing the way the merchants weren't giving either of them a break, she started to usher Will toward a nice, safe food stall. "Let's try and get out of their sight for a bit."

[kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com]

Will blinked. "I see. I... really?" she said, shaking her head. That was kinda surprising, she really didn't even know the Matt here, after all.

But yes, getting away was definitely a really good idea right now, so there Will went, following Aqua's prodding.

"I've been helping him with something," Aqua explained carefully. "I really can't go into it."

The food stall was filled with foods similar to various cultures on Earth. Spotting a flatbread sandwich resembling a gyro, Aqua said, "That looks good. I'll take one of those." Looking back to Will, she asked, "Anything you see? It'll be my treat."

[kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com]

Will smiled. "I see," she said, looking over to the food to see if there was anything that she wanted. It took her a while, but she finally decided on a pretzel. It seemed to be cheap enough, after all. She didn't want to be too expensive and it did look tasty...

"Are you sure that's all?" Aqua asked, paying for their lunch.

[kandrakar-heart.livejournal.com]

Will nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine."

[rainfell-aqua.livejournal.com]

Aqua got their food and handed Will her pretzel. "Matt said you were used to traveling to other worlds. Were any of them like this one?"

Sasami had, thankfully, ignored the incredibly odd stuff being sold (why would she need some of that anyway?) before catching sight of someone familiar.

"Aqua-neesan!" she called out, waving.

[stormfall-aqua.livejournal.com]

"Sasami?" Aqua asked, looking her sister's way.

She made her way over, shooting glares at any of the more questionable vendors; while she was more flustered when they asked about her, nobody messed with her family.

"Find anything interesting?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Beyond what I need?" Sasami said. "Not yet." Admittedly, she didn't know where to start.

"How about you? Did you find anything?"

[stormfall-aqua.livejournal.com]

"I'm still looking around," Aqua admitted. "I was hoping to find a shop with magical artifacts, or maybe a craft shop, but..."

Her hand brushed against her Wayfinder, and she said, "How about we try to find something to make a Wayfinder for you?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami blinked as she heard Aqua's suggestion. That was right - she said she would make one for her. "Oh, that's a great idea...!" she said, nodding. "What do we need first?"

[rainfell-aqua.livejournal.com]

"I made mine with metal and crystal, though they're really supposed to be made with seashells," Aqua explained. "Let's see what's more affordable."

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Mmn, alright...!" Sasami said, nodding. It was a shame that there probably wasn't any beaches around here like there was on Zokez II. Then again, didn't Stacy say this place was 96% developed?

[rainfell-aqua.livejournal.com]

"Okay, let's see," Aqua said, leading Sasami to a shop with various polished stones. "These look like they should work. What's your favorite color?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Hmm... That's a good question. Though... we can go with blue!" Sasami said, eyeing some of those stones.

[rainfell-aqua.livejournal.com]

Aqua had already added some sunstone beads and other items into her basket, and now she came to the blue stones. There were several large, deep blue stones that resembled lapis lazuli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapis_lazuli), and she held them out to Sasami.

"How do these look?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami looked at Aqua had offered as a suggestion and blinked in awe. "Oh, wow... I think those would work perfectly!"

[rainfell-aqua.livejournal.com]

"All right," Aqua answered with a smile. "With this shade, gold-colored metal will probably look best, and I've got different kinds of beads for you to string on it."
