Hey, looking for some advice! I need to find something pink. Clothing or an accessory. I've got this really important meeting, and I'm supposed to wear pink. Except I'm really new to this place and I literally don't know where any of the shops are.

Not that I'm lost or anything. I've got an awesome sense of direction and all of that.

Anyway, uh, advice is totally wanted. Not the greatest at picking out clothes and stuff.

Oh, and is there a weapons vendor anywhere?

Thanks!

[Does he think that the texting is basically just Shinra's internal E-mail system? Totally. Is that why he's signing off like it's an e-mail? ABSOLUTELY. Poor guy hasn't done casual texting before.]

I dunno...this sure sounds like the kinda post someone lost might make! Are you positive you're not lost?

-Aerith

p.s. you don't have to sign off

[legacy_blade]

[Aerith. Well damn, he didn't think far enough ahead to realize she might see this. This is where Kunsel would mock him, isn't it? Or Angeal.]

Yep, very positive. I'm great at getting around. This place just isn't laid out logically.

-Zack

p.s. but if I don't how will people know who sent this?

Oh! The markets are quite easy to find. If you keep going west from where you arrived, that rather large fountain, you'll end up there. There's usually quite a lot of people heading there. Pink is a lovely color though, I hope you have luck in finding something you like!

A friend has informed me of a weapons smith in...I believe he said the harbor district? I am afraid I have not been myself though.

[ Text is nice because it hides any sort of shock or anxiety she may have. ]
It's got a logical illogicalness to it. You kinda get used to it after a bit.

It automatically lists names. Pretty fancy, huh?

[Unsurprisingly, Cloud is better with text, though, especially when Zack's name gave him a raging headache to begin with. He's working through it, and through all the memories that crop up, through the racing heart rate and the breathing.

It's like when Kunsel's name came up back home, but worse; so much worse.]

Why pink?

[Short, sweet, but it's a complete thought and he's going to be proud of himself for managing it.]

[legacy_blade]

Because I made a promise to someone important. That when we met again, we'd wear pink. Both of us. To celebrate meeting again.

I've got things I've promised to do and I'm going to do them. On my honor.

[legacy_blade]

[He's sorry for the shock. He didn't expect her to see this. Sometimes he doesn't think far enough ahead.]

Oh, it does? Uh, how do I find those names? Man, this was never my specialty.

[legacy_blade]

[Wait, this can do voice messages beyond live calls? That is SO damn cool. Or wait, was it a call? Oh man, he never got used to these things.]

Oh, wait, that market area has clothes? Huh. Midgar had a whole fashion district. Wasn't expecting that. But yeah, cool. I'll definitely head to the harbor district. I need quite the sword.

[cetrary]

Wellll if you choose the video or call options there's a list of everyone that shows up. it takes some practice to master it.

still prefer talking to someone in person though

[haruine]

It has quite a lot of things! Where I'm from we have districts for specialized things as well. I have to say, it is rather convenient having everything located in one area here! It's also a bit...quaint in a way?

From what was told to me, you can request custom things there.

[legacy_blade]

Quaint? Place looked busy to me. Quaint describes my home town though. Still, I'll look extra hard tomorrow.

[But he does sound more excited at the idea of custom jobs.]

Oh that's awesome. I'm gonna have to make money because my job is gonna be BIG.

[legacy_blade]

Huh, I see. I'll have to work with that. Gotta get back in touch with Yuffie. I'm not entirely sure she didn't walk off with something. Girl likes to do that.

I like talking in person too. I got a meeting I've got to get to, do it in person. But I made this promise to them, you see? So I gotta make sure I can fulfill it. Which is why I'm looking for the pink clothes or accessories. So I guess in that way I'm TOTALLY lost.

[cetrary]

Good luck getting in contact with her! She seems to get around.

Hmm...pink meeting huh? That sounds kinda familiar. If it's a long waiting promise, then I bet they won't expect too much. Maybe just a small pink ribbon?

[legacy_blade]

Tell me about it. I've literally been wandering around in abandoned mines and she managed to sneak up on me.

I feel like, after how delayed it's been, I might be forgiven for something small. But I still have to FIND something. After all the other ways I let them down, I owe this much.

[haruine]

It is, in it's own way! Though nothing like the place I come from. There you're packed shoulder to shoulder almost all the time. [ Which was fine. It was what she was used to. ] What was your home town like?

I happen to favor large weapons myself. Perhaps you could show me when you get yours?

[cetrary]

Bet she found that funny.

How delayed has it been?

Maybe I could help you out. I have some pink flowers you could wear.

[legacy_blade]

I could tell you SUCH stories.

Years. Not by any choice of mine. But yeah, I think pink flowers would be perfect.

[legacy_blade]

Shoulder to shoulder, huh? Sounds a bit like Midgar. Place was big, lots of people. No one seemed to mind that there never felt like enough space though.

[He makes a thoughtful noise. How do you explain Gongaga?]

Well, the first thing to know is Gongaga's sorta surrounded by a swamp. The monsters in it mostly aren't tough if you avoid the Dual Horns of course.

And yeah, I'd be happy to show off my blade when I can get it.

[cetrary]

I have shop in the markets. Or if you don't think you can find it, I can come to you.

[haruine]

That does sound like Tokyo. Nobody seems to mind it there either.

There are monsters surrounding your home? [ Well...that sounds ...different. ]

Thank you! I'm certain you can find work here. There are quite a few job opportunities from what I have heard from others.

[heavenlyhonour]

[Serious blue eyes are rereading this text and Angeal isn't trusting the nagging feeling he's getting here, because it can't be true.]

There's a weapons vendor in town. Are you looking for a sword to be forged?

Text;

[gadaboutdetective]

There is an excellent tailor shop located in the market district where I’m sure they would be able to offer you something suitable for your needs in most any shade. I’m sure if you mention it’s for an important meeting, they’ll be happy to make sure it’s just right. I can provide direction if you like, and there is an excellent weapons smith in the city in the harbor district as well.

Also, welcome to this world. I’m Detective Llewellyn Watts-Maresh. Though you’ll find people are a tad less formal with corresponding by text, as odd as I understand it is to get used to if you're from somewhere that letters are more structured.

[legacy_blade]

Really? Oh man, what's it called? I wanna look my best. Same with the smith too. People mentioned that before. Didn't catch a name.

Hello detective. And it's not letters, it's emails!

[legacy_blade]

Oh yeah. Big sword. Two handed. Better than even a great sword. I'm good with them

[legacy_blade]

I mean, maybe some people mind it back home, but I don't know that they'd talk about it if they did?

[Wait, there aren't monsters surrounding hers?]

Yeah. Large animals that are aggressive are pretty common. We call them monsters because they're more likely to attack you, after all. Some people blame it on the Mako reactors.

Awesome! Work is good for the soul
