001 ~ ୧☉□☉୨ ~ Exploring
Who; Yuffie Kisaragi and her victims~! aka you!!!
What; Exploring the City & getting into trouble.
Where; Market, Arena & Docks.
When; 07/06 - 07/09
Warnings; None
The sun dropped below the horizon and the soft orange glow of dusk was soon to fade into the darkening sky of night. The stars had yet to wink into existence as the young ninja princess made her way from the red building to the nearby roofs of the grand ballroom, heading towards the noble district that laid on its opposite side. She had gotten a rough idea of the city's layout over the last few days but planned to gather information on locations of interest.
Her top clung to her skin as the humidity of the day ebbed and chilled. It wasn't cool but the heat wasn't so unbearable that Yuffie couldn't pull a hood over her short dark hair. Accompanying the splashes of black was a pair of tan khaki shorts and knee-high travel boots that somehow kept their grip on the smooth tile she stood on. Dark eyes scanned the horizon and streets before making a running leap from the roof of the grand ballroom to the district that lead her towards the area.
She's heard a bit about the Arena from eavesdropping on the general populace but it didn't tell her what she wanted to know. Was it a cruel sport or was it the entertainment that it appeared to be? Did they have Phenix Downs or potions for those who took damage? If they did, they probably had some to spare. After all, this was a dangerous new town and she needed some insurance so that she could heal herself if she got into trouble.
After the attempted theft at the Arena, Yuffie circled back towards the market. It appeared as if there were primarily stalls set up during the day but some of the shops looked to be open late into the evening. It appeared as if many of those shops were located closer to the taverns and other establishments where people got wasted.
Over the next few days, Yuffie split her time between the market and exploring the shadier side of the docks. She asked to work part-time at a few places but quickly thought better of it when she noticed the prevalence of the city guard. They appeared to take their job very seriously and probably didn't put up with her type of misconduct. Even so, Yuffie found it difficult not to pocket items that looked interesting. She didn't think it was bad, after all, they gave them money, so things here were already weird and didn't make sense. Maybe nothing was really worth anything or why else would they gift them money for free. So this was probably fine.
Her adventures at the dock were a bit more exciting. Not only did she kick some guy's asses who had thought to corner and steal from her but she stole from them in return. It was a shame they didn't have anything more interesting on them, if they had she might not have also stolen their paints. Any useless items that Yuffie stole would be dumped into the water but the valuables were kept in the various bags and pockets on her. The key was to have too many pockets for a pick-pocketer to think of you as an easy target. Naturally, Yuffie was anything but an easy target.
After some time of exploring she found a dock that didn't look like it was falling apart and sat at its end. Her eyes stared down at the wildlife that filled the water and she wondered if a lot of the food here was like the food from Wutai. It was also fairly close to the coast and the river that ran through the country brought enough fish inland to supply the small country. The thought made her miss home as a sudden pang of distress ached in her chest.
It was stupid but it was quiet moments that reminded Yuffie of everything that she'd left behind... everything that she was fighting for.
It annoyed the shit out of her.
[ooc: feel free to find her anywhere that's listed in the prompt, doing things illegally or otherwise. I am honestly open to anything and playing it out. Of course, if she gets caught she'll give the items back and I am totally open to community service or some form of punishment. Hit me up :D]

"I was careful. I noticed you didn't I?"
She eyed where he'd been sitting and then realized something strange. "What on Gaia were you doing up here anyway?"
no subject
It was enough to give him a headache, which it was already doing.
"Not hard to notice someone who talked to you first." This was said with a shrug. But then he looked at Yuffie a little more. "Higher up is the best place to see a lot of things."
And she would hang out with him in the bailey sometimes, but he didn't mention that.
no subject
"Oh. Right. What's your name? You seem to know mine so it's only fair." He might have told her his name already but she didn't remember it. At least, Yuffie wanted to be on even ground with this guy and know what he knew... that felt better than... whatever was going on.
"Are you from Gaia too?"
no subject
"No. I don't even know where that is."
And then there was a thought. "Is that the world you're from originally?"
Maybe somehow there was a memory reset.
no subject
"Huh?" Yuffie snapped out of her thoughts and looked over at Leon. "What? Yeah. Wutai is in Gaia. That's my country." As far as she was concerned, Wutai was hers, and she'd do everything to protect the people of her country as well as its history. The only problem was that she couldn't do that while living in the city so that was going to be on pause until she made her way back home.
"Why? Do you know it? It is the best place ever." She truly loved Wutai.
no subject
That look he got now too was all too familiar and he shrugged at her question when Yuffie asked if he knew it. "I have no idea where that is. But what's so great about it?"
Leon found he was asking this just to hear her voice and it gave him time to try and piece this puzzle together.
no subject
She loved her home but the version of Yuffie that Leon had grown up with had lost her home as a young child. She hadn't had the same memories or connection with Wutai that this Yuffie has.
no subject
Not that he expected much else of an answer coming from her.
no subject
"It's fair right?" She also didn't think she could tell him everything about Wutai in the short time they have. Not that standing on the roof at night wasn't the best place to have a long conversation.
no subject
Leon had levelled Sora with a look that threatened the keyblade wielder's very existence if he uttered another crazy theory like that.
A sigh escaped him. "I guess."
no subject
With that she jumped from the room and disappeared onto the street below.
