2nd Love [Action]

[codenamexv]

[Action 1 | Locked for House 3 ONLY]

[It was suppose to be the night to enjoy themselves. They were suppose to enjoy the concert and later hang out to gossip. She even expected to go back stage to meet the new teen idols of her dream! Okay... one of many on her list, but still--! It happened so fast in a blur. New enemies? Allies? What was their future this time? If it was just a dream, please someone, anyone... wake her up.

In the room where she once resided, there she was on the bed in her cotton dress. Her golden hair spread across the bed without her red ribbon to hold it up. The sun's ray shined her window to the bed. The bed felt warm from the ray. Minako laid on her side with her head buried in the pillow. "Mmm... five more minutes Artemis."

It was when she turned her body back was when she felt something familiar, a pinch of pain on her back. She rolled forward instead, and then finally mustered her body up. She wiped her sleepy eye as she collected herself. Honestly, of all times, why was there pain on her back? She pulled her opposite shoulder close as she leaned her head further back. Wings, oh right. She remembered she had those before.

There was a pause until a loud shriek had broken the silence. They had to drag her back after that moment, when planet Earth needed her most. Minako made a fist as she subdued her irritation and anger. She didn't care where she was, it was quite clear. She was more irritated that whoever was in charged pulled her back in a crucial moment. A leader couldn't be absent of duty!

She jumped out of bed and looked around her dresser. There of course was her red lace, the main priory. She tied her hair up and fixed her bow. If she was to return, she might as well look more preventable. The Goddess of Love would always look her best even in these times.

After she fixed herself, Minako approached the door of her room and extended her hand out to the knob. Although her hand was on the knob, she couldn't turn it. The rage from the beauty subdued as her eyes fell to the knob. Was it horrible to wish everyone else were pulled here? What about Ami from the other world? The Goddess smiled faintly to herself. "I'm sorry, everyone."

After taken a deep breath, the knob turned and the door opened. The door creaked as Minako pushed the door open. There she was, by her door, with her bangs cascaded over her eyes. She dragged her hand over the wall and any doors she passed. When she reached the living room, she raised her chin up with a smile as she lifted an index finger. It was time to break the silent.

"You know, after all that studying we had to do, we finally made it a high school together. Exciting? I know."

[Action 2]

[Thank goodness for her Crescent Compact. Because... Big surprise, she over grew from the clothes she had before, go figure. By the thought of it, it was depressing. The waist lines felt tighter and her skirts that would be by her knees were over. If there was anything to be thankful for after she analyzed from the two year skip, it was here busts. A sigh escaped.

Minako had on her high school uniform. It was similar to her old school uniform in middle school, skirt just close to the knees. After her Crescent Compact went to good use, she tucked the compact away in her pocket and it was time for some shopping. Maybe perhaps she could wonder around town while she was at it. After all, it has been a while. Just the thought of it, she pinched her cheek with an index finger. There was also the Rec Center she could go to for some video gaming. The Battle Dome she wanted to explore as well, and maybe any places that offered drinks. She could use a smoothie. She could check out the school for old times sake. Although... she isn't aware of it's condition at the moment.

Her hands caught some air before she made both fists and brought them down. Right. No point to worry about home right now. It would all be the same when gets back. It was time to enjoy herself like any other day!]

Right. I'll get what I need today and then...[She pressed out her two fingers out making a peace sign.] Get myself a really hot amazing guy!

[Of course, she was kidding about that last part. YES KIDDING.]

Comments

[niceguypose]

[When she enters the Battle Dome, she'll find Rock Lee is already there. He's just doing push-ups in the middle of the room near the console.]

[codenamexv]

[Lee... Why is he-- on second thought! Better not to ask. So instead, she knelled down next to Lee and begun to count. Not in order.]

2-7-19-44-22-1...

[niceguypose]

A-ah... I thought I had reached the 300s... [He blinks as he takes it in, not quite realizing her presence yet.]

[codenamexv]

3-300?! [She sprung back from the ground taking a step back. That isn't humanly possible... right?] What do you ninjas eat?!

[faithfulflame]

[Well, to say that Rei jumped out of her skin might be overstating it, because she couldn't actually jump. But when Minako entered the living room, the dark haired girl did give quite a start, her arm flailing enough to knock her crutches over and her injured leg painfully thumping against the ottoman.]

Minako-chan?!

[This is accompanied by a wince, an aggravated look at her crutches, and a sigh, of course.]

[codenamexv]

[Not exactly what she expect, especially a wild injured Rei! Minako quickly rushed to the girl's aid. Should she help with the leg first? ...Maybe she better stick with the crunches.]

Ah-! Sorry!

[She picked them up with a sheepish smile.] I'm back...

[faithfulflame]

[Rei offers Minako a wan smile and settles back into the folds of the couch.]

I see you are, yes. And you look older. How long has it been for you, Minako-chan?

[codenamexv]

Two years, and still single. [Le sigh. She sat down on the couch as well.] What about you? Have you upgraded recently?

[takesyoubytheheart]

[You want a hot, amazing guy? Well look no further than the Rec Center, where a handsome king is happily enjoying video games!

... Okay so he's not that hot nor that amazing.]

Ha ha, high score! Gosh, this stuff is great!

[codenamexv]

[They seriously need to hire cute guys to work here at least, volunteer if lucky. First talking cats, then animals, and now a mouse. Although this one makes a cute stuffed animal. Seeing so many talking animals, can't see them as threat or fear. She wonders if Artemis would chase a mouse big as him. What catches her attention first are those wings. Okay, time to see how high he scored the game.]

Who would of thought mice like to play video games? [She talk in a casual tone, nothing rude, just having a casual conversation. ...With a mouse. Artemis must be laughing somewhere.] Hey, you're going to let me try it too right?

[takesyoubytheheart]

[he looks up, always happy to see a new face. Yay friendship!]

Gee, we don't have anythin' like this back in my world... they're a lot of fun!

[he steps aside, so she can play.]

[codenamexv]

[Sure buddy, no surprise.]

Wow, your world is missing a lot. Video games are the best passing time games.

[Okay, time to give this game a whirl. Just watch as a pro shows him how it's done.]

[Action] - House 3

[geniustheveil]

[Ami is there, seeming quietly pleased with that calm smile that looks like it's trying to stretch ever bigger. Of course she's worried for Minako having to be here again, but it's mingled with Ami's happiness being able to see her friend. She can't help that part of herself.

When she speaks, she is understated, as she so often is.]

Welcome back, Minako-chan. [It's with relief that she notices Minako doesn't seem to have come from a battle, so she offers simpler comforts instead.] Would you like something to eat, or some tea perhaps?

[codenamexv]

[It was a relief to see Ami was still here, despite the circumstances. Everyone else would of felt the same. She nodded as she simply smiled.]

Think I'll have some of that. [Why not. It was best to have conversation with tea and snack.] Sweet tea if we have any.

[geniustheveil]

I think we still have some from before. [She tends to drink green tea herself, so it hasn't been used up at least.] You should sit down. Shall I serve us?

[codenamexv]

No, I should help... [But then again, it's been like two years since her last visit. She takes a seat anyway smiling.] On second thought, I kinda forgot where everything is.

[generalflirt]

[ We may not have smoothies, but the Convenience Store does boast a slushie/icee/whatever you wanna call it machine! And it also has this guy who fancies himself as being attractive behind the counter to man it, currently looking just a bit bored. If/when Minako comes in though, he's all smiles, and in fact raises his voice to shout out a : ]

Welcome!

[codenamexv]

[It's a store, and enough to grab Minako's attention. She gives a shout as well as she enters the store.] Thank you!

[She takes her time through the store browsing through, and sweeping her eyes towards the front once in a while. If they have magazines here, Minako's all in it. Whenever she's done, she makes her way to the counter.] Excuse me, can you tell me what flavors you got back there?

[generalflirt]

[ No magazines, alas. The inventory is here, but magazines would be a good idea...! If that whole thing with the library didn't happen, which makes things a bit more wary-making. Either way, Masaomi dumbs his fingers and then makes a sweeping motion with his arm! ] Yes I can. We've got- [ And he skips back a step to point out each one in turn. Green, brown, orange, blue ]

Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Orange, and Blue Raspberry.

Action 1

[splashpuppy]

[Hajime was starting to get used to the way people came and went in Luceti. COming was a little easier than going. He's assuming that's why no one told him there was someone new in the house.

Talking like she knew everyone else.]

Oh, hi.

[He stands up from where he had been playing in the corner of the living room to greet her.]

[codenamexv]

[First thing she does is blink at the kid. She is in the right house so... why is there a brat? No offense Hajime, she thinks all kids are brats. She responds in a mild tone, nothing rude or malice, just as if she's having a normal conversation.]

Didn't know we had visitors. Hello, kid.

[splashpuppy]

Ami-neechan and Rei-neechan let me stay with them after the person who was taking care of me disappeared.

[He bows slightly because manners are important]

I'm Hajime. It's good to meet you.

TOTALLY NOT LATE HERE ha...ha....

[blessingone]

[Fenimore happens to be coming up along the path behind Minako on the way to do her own shopping when she overhears the declaration of hot-amazing-guy-getting and, well. The sudden announcement along with the enthusiastic posturing makes her want to laugh and she's not fast enough to suppress it entirely, so she snorts. She might have normally not commented on a stranger's outburst like that, but welp. She's kind of already made it clear that she overheard, so she'll not hold herself back from commenting.]

I don't think they have those at any of the shops here.

[Not that hot guys are exactly in short supply in Luceti when it's like the lowest is "kind of attractive." Thanks, land of fictional characters.]

/TACKLES

[codenamexv]

[That snort made her eyebrow twitch before she turned her whole body towards the other blonde. Minako couldn't catch a break even if it landed on her. Still the blonde kept a sheepish smile and suppressed her tone to a friendly manner. Ah well, it could of been worst, right?]

Really, that's too bad. Long as we're stuck here, they could at least stock a couple good ones while everything else is free.

[Thank Serenity! Fictional characters are the best anyway!]

[blessingone]

[Fenimore chuckles -- she can appreciate that the girl kept her cool after being overheard saying something embarrassing and make a joke back. She'll try not to tease further. ...Probably.]

Well, if you're just looking, attractive people aren't really in short supply in Luceti. I'm not sure why most people are at least okay-looking, but...there is that. There don't ever seem to be that many couples around, though.
