11:00 a.m. May 28th "Kiba, you know they won't let us bring you inside, we'll get in trouble." Kiba gave Ren an argumentive dog-like groan in response, sitting stubbornly in front of the door. "Everything will be fine, really!" Ren insisted at the wolfish dog. "We're only going to buy stuff, books, furniture, maybe even those 'bits and bobs'. Besides, Aie will be with me-" Kiba retorted with an irritated bark. "-Hey don't be so mean! Aie said she'd get you some stuff too, like a bed, a ball, leash-" Kiba gave Ren a very upset growl, "-okay, so not a leash, just keep watch here, deal?" Ren knelt down and held out her open palm. After several moments, Kiba reluctantly set his paw in her hand, complying in a handshake like gesture. "Deal then!...Hmm," Ren set down Kiba's paw and stepped outside while waiting for Aiella to finish getting ready. She glanced left and right for any traces of fog, and saw that instead the weather seemed to be promising a normal day. There wasn't even so much as a cloud in the sky. "Yeah," Ren said convincingly to herself. "I'm sure it'll all be fine..." She would have to admit though, today would be the first time (that she knew of) that Kiba wouldn't be following her around, and it did in fact make her feel a little uneasy. Ren shoved this worry aside, and she waited for Aiella outside the doorway, a disgruntled Kiba sitting beside her. |

Aiella woke, and with a groan and slight creaking of every bone in her body - slid out of bed with little grace. Her knees met the floor with a dull thud, and she yawned, stretching. Her encounter with her Shadow self had taken a lot of energy out of her, despite resting so well that night. She ran her finger through the ends of her hair, slowly moving upwards to loosen the lazy plaits she had done last night, and when she was done, set about doing her hair and getting dressed to go out. Today, she was going out to Junes with Ren. She liked going out to shop – especially with friends, but she had never had a friend quite like Ren, or had ever connected to something quite on the same level as her before. Usually trips with her friends back home seemed... mechanical – almost as if she was doing it out of courtesy or just to kill time. She could tell already that this trip and the many others after it, were going to be different and a lot more enjoyable. She smiled, finally shaking off the lingering tired feeling left after waking. She washed, applied her make-up and went downstairs to put on her shoes. Ren was waiting at the door for her, as well as a rather disgruntled Kiba. “Alright.” she started, “Let's go, shall we?” The trip to Junes was relatively short, as Aiella chose to catch the bus there instead of walking that day. She and Ren spent most of the ride talking idly about the things that Ren would like, and what Aiella wanted to buy for her. She had a list of things that Ren could choose from – and she wasn't exactly fussed about the price either. They arrived and Aiella decided it would be best to order any parts of extra furniture first, so that it could be delivered to the house later on that evening. She needed some other things for the house itself – having only moved in recently she still lacked certain kitchen appliances and household items. "Okay." started Aiella. "You can have a desk, if you feel like you need or want one, and you should decide if you want a small bookcase for any of the books or manga we are going to buy later." she paused and looked at Ren, who seemed uncomfortable. Aiella felt a pang of guilt - was this maybe the first time she had been anywhere without Kiba at her heel? Aiella smiled gently, and pressed on. "You'll need a set of draws as well... and we'll go to the clothing store later after everything else." Edited by Theodore, Jul 29 2013, 02:50 PM.

It was proving to be a rather interesting day at Junes. For starters, Ren got to ride a bus on the way there. She and Aie talked about what they would buy. Aiella had a list of things that they could get for Ren and the rest of the house. Ren tried to pay attention, but the fact that she was seperated from Kiba continued to bother her. "Okay" Aie started once they arrived. "You can have a desk, if you feel like you need or want one, and you should decide if you want a small bookcase for any of the books or manga we are going to buy later." Ren was still too lost in thought about what Kiba was doing without her right then when she realized Aiella was talking to her, where she then proceeded to nod as if she was, in fact, paying attention. After a moment she replied, "Hmm, maybe a small desk would do for when I practice writing, and I'd like a bookcase if that's okay. Oh, but let's not forget about Kiba, he made me promise to get him a bed and ball!" "You'll need a set of draws as well... and we'll go to the clothing store later after everything else." "Hmm? What do we need to go to the clothing store for??" Ren asked before examining herself. Her perspective only saw that what she was currently wearing was not yet too small for her, which considering her hoodie was clearly made for someone three times her size and then some... "By the way Aie, I've been meaning to ask, what are bits and bobs??" Ren asked, her head tilted in thought. |

"Hmm? What do we need to go to the clothing store for??" Ren asked. Aiella ruffled the girls hair a little, “Because, I'll be buying you a few new things to wear as well.” Ren looked over at Aiella quizzically, "By the way Aie, I've been meaning to ask, what are bits and bobs??" Aiella paused for a moment, considering her words carefully. “Hygiene products. Soap, shampoo and other toiletries.” She was pleased with her answer, but then saw an expression of confusion pass over Rens face. “I like to keep my things separate from everyone else, so you'll have your own.” she explained further. She sighed and looked over the many things that were on offer at the store. She really hated shopping for herself, and mostly preferred to shop for others – it was a lot easier and less stressful to do so. She picked out a new microwave, blender and toaster, leaving Ren to wander through the aisle whilst she paid and gave instructions as to where they would be delivered. Satisfied with every feigned enthusiastic answer she had gotten from her pressing questions about the delivery, they moved onto better things – Ren's furniture. Ren and Aiella spent a good hour looking over the many desks and bookshelves in the store. Eventually, the two come to an agreement as what they could get – Aiella was comfortable with the colour (to match the rest of the décor in the room) and it was at a very affordable price. Ren liked how small and compact it was – despite being quite spacious and roomy. It also had a row of draws down one side. The bookcase was simple, and again matched the colour of Ren's room. Aiella brought some additional office things - like papers, pens, and a desktop lamp and again went through the routine of paying and arranging delivery times with the cashier. Ren looked over her new-found possessions (despite being packed into boxes) with a small twinkle in her eye. As the one of the shop floor staff took them away, she seemed to panic a little and floundered on the spot. “Where are they taking them?” Ren asked quickly, stepping up onto her tip-toes. “Relaaaaax, Ren.” Aiella said smiling, “They're being taken away so that they can deliver them to my house later on. They're too heavy to take on the bus.” Ren slowly put her feet firmly on the ground, staring over the space where she last saw them being pushed away. “Before getting all the fun stuff, You want to go for a meal?” Edited by Theodore, Jul 29 2013, 02:51 PM.

"Siiiiiiiiigh, hungry." The white haired boy mumbled as he reached the food court. Yuchi had come to Junes to replenish his stock of Tea bags, as he had downed a 75 pack of tea in less than a week. He wondered now and then whether or not he had some sort of addiction, but every time he thought too hard over it, he would come to realize his cup was empty and went to brew more. Today was his first official day of school since transferring here, and so far, it turned out to be okay. He had always been home-schooled though due to his "special condition" so it was an interesting concept to get used to. His other self didn't pop up to stir trouble at least. Yuchi wandered around the food stands, trying to decide what he was hungry for. There was steak, ramen, tofu, oh who was he kidding, there seemed to be everything here! A very horrific dilemma for one with an indecisive taste as Yuu's. "hrmm...Hey Gemini, what do you think I should get this time?" Yuchi mumbled in inquiry. There was silence, followed by an annoyed buzz in the back of Yuchi's mind. "Oh yeah, never mind. I keep forgetting you can't talk." This wasn't to say his Persona couldn't communicate, it was just that Gemini did not have the capacity for verbal speech. As an alternative method of communication, Yuchi took up sign language, a skill that, once mastered by Yuchi himself, was naturally learned by Gemini. "Hey kid, are you gonna stand there talking to yerself all day?" asked the annoyed Ramen stand clerk Yuchi was standing in front of. "Oh, uhm, eheheh," Yuchi scratched the back of his spiked hair in embarrasment. "Uh, y-yeah! I'll have the beef bowl please!" |

"Hm, I don't think I've ever had my own toylatreez," Ren replied a little nonchalantly. She wasn't sure exactly what they were, but figured it involved some other words she didn't know. As their shopping continued, and while Aiella shopped around for the kitchen appliences, Ren wandered around the "Pet Aisles" for things to get Kiba, soon locating a large cushion (which was at least half her size) for a bed and a tough rubber ball. She saw leashes to, but soon after examining them and learning their purpose, Ren figured out why Kiba would be quite against having one. Once the appliences were purchased, Aiella and Ren went to buy furnature for Ren's room. They spent a good long amount of time looking through desks and bookshelves, the whole time a tinge of excitment stirring pressing questions about when and how the items they bought would arrive at Aiella's house, questions that were almost immediatly answered with enthusiasm, however silly or perhaps annoying the question likely was. While walking around, searching for furnature that Ren liked and happened to be affordable, Ren held a long gaze up at Aiella for the a few moments. Somehow, in her minds eye, Aiella reminded her of something, no, someone else, but she couldn't quite place it. The someone Ren was trying to remember seemed to spark a strange feeling of attachment, but in a stronger sense, maybe more so compared to her attachment with Kiba. Thinking back over whenever Aie took care of her seemed to cause even more nostalgia over this person she was trying to remember. If she could just picture them better... Aiella seemed to notice Ren's stare out of the corner of her eye. "Is something the matter, Ren?" Blinking a little, Ren quickly shook her head. "N-No. It's nothing, just spacing out a little thats all!" she replied, looking away as if examining another piece of furnature, as she gave up her vain effort to think of whoever Aie reminded her of. Later, as Ren stared a little dejectedly at the space where the staff took her belongings away to be delivered later, a rumble sounded from her stomach, and at once Ren realized she was hungry, something she didn't notice in her excitment up until now. “Before getting all the fun stuff, You want to go for a meal?” Aiella asked. Ren nodded, as she remembered that in her fuss to convince Kiba of her safety in this trip, she had forgotten to eat something beforehand. |

The food court was only a little ways from where they currently were in Junes, and they both waited patiently in line as Aiella pointed out all the different choices in food for Ren, helping her to decide what she wanted to eat. After both ordering what they wished for, they took a seat on the far end of the outdoor seating area and set about eating their food. They both ate in relative silence, Aiella's silence more out of needing a bit of time to think. A lot had happened in the past couple of days. Ren and Kiba, the Shadows, Persona's and the strange world in the TV... not the mention the strange invites that they both received. Abnormal things aside, Aiella remembered that she had classes tomorrow and that it would be the first time that Ren would be alone in the house without her. Normally this would be an unsettling thought to Aiella - someone she has known for such a short time, staying unsupervised in her house? She smiled a little as she took a bite of her lunch, lingering on how easily she had trusted Ren and how easily and naturally it had all come together. Aiella's attention perked a little, "Hey kid, are you gonna stand there talking to yerself all day?" She turned her head slightly setting her hers on the white haired boy in frount of the counter. "Oh, uhm, eheheh," the boy said, scratching the back of his head. "Uh, y-yeah! I'll have the beef bowl please!" Aiella bit her lip a little, and thought back to her encounter with her Shadow self and Callopeia. "I am thou.. thou art I..." she thought back to herself. "Can I talk to Callopeia like this...?" "I think that depends on whether or not you wish to." Callopeia replied. Aiella jumped in her seat a little, grabbing Ren's attention. "Aie...?" Aiella swallowed her food quickly, "I heard her!" "Heard who, Aie?" Aie lowered her voice a little, and leant in over the table. "Callopeia. I can talk with her, as if I'm thinking to myself." she heard Callopeia politely laughing in the back of her head, and sat back, scowling. "She's laughing at me now."

"That'll be 900 yen." The store clerk said to Yuu, handing out the bowl of beef raman. Taking out his wallet to pay for his meal, Yuchi politely thanked the clerk and had just turned around when he noticed a women suddenly jump a little in her seat. "I heard her!" he barely made out. The silver haired girl with her responded. "Heard who, Aie?" He couldn't hear the rest, but it seemed to be quite exciting, whatever just happened. "Hm.. .what do you suppose that was about Gemini?" he murmured, expecting the persona's usual buzz of indifference voicing in the back of his head in answer. However, this time, Gemini reacted differently, as it replied. "I can't go eavesdropping on people, it's rude." Ah, who gives a damn?! Zaiaku replied from another corner of Yuu's mind. "I do!" Yeah, well I don't! Go see what the fuss is about already!! "I don't wanna!" Yuchi went back and forth with his seemingly imaginary other, now forgetting about what started their argument. Gemini buzzed voicelessly again in their minds, trying to settle them down. "Gemini, you can't possibly be on his side here!" And why the $%# not!? I'm the mature one here you social retard! "Hey! Th-thats mean!! Besides, being mature doesn't have anything to do with Persona!...wait, HEY that doesn't matter either, I'm mature!!" The clerk who had previously served Yuchi stared a little dumbfoundedly. "...is this kid doing some cosplay act? Weirdo..." and went back to his work. |

Ren looked up at Aiella with concern as she suddenly jumped a little in her seat. "Aie..?" she asked. Did she choke on her food, she wondered. However, this did not seem to be the case as she quickly swallowed her food, quickly answering her. "I heard her!" she exclaimed. Ren blinked a little in confusion. "Heard who, Aie?" Aiella then leaned in over the table, lowering her voice as she spoke again. "Callopeia. I can talk with her, as if I'm thinking to myself." Aiella then leaned back, scowling a little. "She's laughing at me now," she explained. Ren found herself rather bewildered. "So that means...I can talk to Kyokkai?" She glanced upwards as she mentally inquired this. It is as I have told you before, the voice of her Persona said. No matter where you go, we shall always be by your side. We Are You. Ren relayed Kyokkai's message to Aiella. "Huh, but, why haven't I been able to hear her before?" Before she could ponder on this much further, Ren glanced over some distance away at the boy the passed upon entering the food court. He was acting...strange. "Uh....Aie, what is he...?" "Hey! Th-thats mean!! Besides, being mature doesn't have anything to do with Persona!" the boy exclaimed to an unseen person. Ren took a sharp intake of breath in surprise before turning back to Aie. "Aiella, do you think he's...Shouldn't we say something?!" |

Ren wore a rather confused look on her face. "So that means...I can talk to Kyokkai?" She glanced upwards as if to mentally inquire this, and there was a moment of silence before Ren relayed what Kyokkai had said to her. "Huh, but, why haven't I been able to hear her before?" she mused afterwards. Soon after her eyes flicked past Aiella, her attention diverted. "Uh....Aie, what is he...?" "Hmm?" Aiella responded, turning around in her chair. It was the boy with the white hair again, babbling on to himself. "Hey! Th-thats mean!! Besides, being mature doesn't have anything to do with Persona!" Aiella's stomach flipped, and she heard Ren gasp in suprise. "Aiella, do you think he's...Shouldn't we say something?!" Aiella nodded, and waved over at the boy. "Hey you! Don't you think you should come and sit down already?" Aie tilted her head towards the empty chair in between herself and Ren, becoming more increasingly aware of the people who had stopped to stare at the strange scene. The boy blinked and took her invitation, setting his ramen on the table, and slipping into the chair with ease. In an attempt to ward off the nosy passers-by, she sighed theatrically and shook her head. "What have I told you about practising for Drama Club in public?" she said, feigning anger. "You know people are staring at you, right?" She looked over at Ren for confirmation that everyone has gone back to their own business. She nodded, and Aiella relaxed. "So, I heard you have a Persona." Edited by Theodore, Jul 29 2013, 02:52 PM.
