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]

"So you're eight years younger than me." She flicked her wrist and the large Skuriken circled and shrank into a single long blade that Yuffie slid within the thin sheath along her hip. "Okay. I'll let you call me old as long as you concede that I'm super cute too." It was only because she liked him that she was offering the leeway. Otherwise, she'd never forgive him for calling her old.
no subject
But her response just confirmed why he thought she was old. It just made sense, even if he hadn’t meant it in the ‘you’re an ancient old woman’ sense so much as a ‘you’re older than me’ kind of way. He hadn’t met anyone he counted in the ‘ancient’ kind of old way yet, but he also probably would have described that more specifically. But there it was again, that confused little scrunch of his face as she specified that she could be old if he also called her cute. “But isn’t cute for like, puppies and stuff?” Little fluffy creatures and babies. Those things were cute! Adult people were not. They were nice or cool, but not cute.
Really, he was only eleven. It was going to be quite a while before he thought in those terms. If he ever did at all, considering his situation and the state of his world.

Yuffie rolled her eyes at his innocence. "Yes but cute it also for girls who you think are as cute as puppies and stuff." She quoted his own words and hope that it helped him understand the definition. This was super important for all boys to learn and Mono didn't seem as dense as a blonde spiky hair menace that she knew. "It's a way to tell a girl that you like her." She doubted he had any concept of a crush but Yuffie was here to educate.
no subject
He’d have to ask a few adults about it, just to see if it was the same with all adults or if this was just a weird thing from this lady’s world. Maybe Illyana could confirm stuff. She was really smart as far as the boy was concerned. She always knew things. Or maybe his boss Tommy… One of them, definitely.
no subject
She really shouldn't make that judgement but she does and doesn't get Mono's confusion.
"Anyway~" Yuffie dragged out each syllable awkwardly. "I'm going to keep looking around. If I see you again I'll stop by and say hi." She might not stay but if he's climbing around the city then she's happy to drop in or up or sideways... It was like a long-term game of hello tag.
