Somewhere in Paris, Wednesday Afternoon

[dojima_hime]

It was cold.  There was snow.  In July.

Rikku and Dōjima greatly disapproved of this situation, even with cute penguins. 

Which was probably why they had grabbed a portal and gone back to Paris, with the intention of seeing exactly how much damage they could inflict on the shopping districts with some quality Girl Time. 

Pity the poor shopgirls.

"Ano, Rikku," Dōjima said, grinning as she flipped through the rack, "What do you think, black or pink?"

OCD the 1st

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

For the shopping duo.

"The black," Rikku said, nodding. "Way more you. Uh. I forget. How do the little C-E symbol things convert to dollars?"

She thought she knew, but that was giving her crazy-weird numbers as a result.

Re: OCD the 1st

"How should I know? I can barely convert yen to dollars!" Dōjima said, waving a hand dismissively. "That's what credit cards are for! Just try it on, and we'll figure it out at the end, when we know what we like."

Grabbing a few more items off the rack, she went to peer over Rikku's shoulder. "Oooo, grab those two. That'd be cute on you."

Re: OCD the 1st

"You think?" Rikku asked, holding it up and hesitating. It was a little ... much?

... said the girl who'd handcuffed herself to Reno's bed. Right. Totally grabbing it.

Speaking of. "You know what would confuse the crap out of them?" she giggled. "Sending a text message all 'COME SEE ME, I MISS YOU' and then being in Paris, and the boys are all 'GREAT, WHERE ARE YOU ANYWAY?'"

Re: OCD the 1st

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"You're cruel," she answered, laughing. "I can see it now, 'I miss u, cme ovr nau?', and then they're sad we aren't home. Or better yet, send the 'guess what I'm wearing?' text. Boys tend to loooooooooooove that."

Re: OCD the 1st

[the_merriest]

"Okay, now we have to," Rikku grinned, punching numbers into her cell.

do u miss me? im wearing something hot!!!

Well, she would be in a minute, so it was almost true.

"And, sent," she smirked.

Re: OCD the 1st

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

Dōjima laughed, trying to juggle her armload of clothing as she dug in her purse for her cell.

Flipping it open, she winked at Rikku before typing out a message.

ohaiyo, aijin. odoranai?

"Mean!" she gleefully announced, hitting send. "Too bad they're gonna miss out," she sighed, heading towards a dressing room. "Hey, Rikku, wanna share one? I'm gonna need help with these laces."

Re: OCD the 1st

[the_merriest]

"Oh, good, me too," Rikku laughed, following Dojima in. "Some of these things, I'm not entirely sure how they're supposed to go on at all. And they'll get to see them eventually, right? I mean, that's the point. They just have to have a little patience, here."

Re: OCD the 1st

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Yes, because patience is going to be top on their list of priorities when they get our messages," Dōjima replied, setting things down to try and sort through her pile. "I just asked my boyfriend to dance, in a very dirty manner. If he's not sulking outside my door when we get back, I'm going to be disappointed in him."

"Just remember, when in doubt, the bow goes in front," she said, waving apink and black outfit at Rikku. "If that fails, turn it around? They don't have to make sense, they just have to be fun."

Re: OCD the 1st

[the_merriest]

"If they're showing too much skin, move it around some, and if they're showing too little skin, move it some more," she grinned. "At least the ones with boob-cups make it easy to figure out."

The "boob-cups" in question were a pale pink - nearly white - basque with heavy black lacing that fastened in the back.

"How are you even supposed to put this on by yourself?" she frowned. "I mean, I get how you're supposed to get it off, but putting it on, you'd need to borrow a friend, wouldn't you?"

Re: OCD the 1st

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Practice makes perfect?" Dōjima suggested, giggling. "Boob-cups? Classy, Rikku. If it ties in the back, just lace it up loosely, then pull to fit and tie it off. You get the hang of it eventually."

"In the interests of our shopping quest today, however, I'm your humble assistant." She bowed slightly before discarding the pink in favor of gold top with little sleeves and starting to change. "That's the real reason girls always shop in pairs. Boys think it's just to be vexing, but really, we don't want to do up our own zippers."

Re: OCD the 1st

[the_merriest]

"This one's got clasp-things, like a bra," she mused, before tossing it aside so she could strip out of her clothes. "I guess you just do it up in front and then scoot it around to the back again? It's all boned and that might be kinda hard. I guess that's just part of the whole 'price of beauty' stuff, right?"

She kicked off her shorts and eyed the pile of clothes again. "If this one needs stockings, do you think it has to be these stockings? Or can I just use stockings I already have? These are a nicer black, though."

OCD the 2nd

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

For when those other two people arrive.

Re: OCD the 2nd

[raspberryturk]

It had taken damn near forever to get to the same city that the girls were in, but after a good deal of forwarded photos and a bit more bribing Rude, Reno had managed to talk him into zooming in on a tag that had worked its way into the shot.

From there, it simply was a matter of figuring out an address.

Reno was never, never going to take a store label tag for granted again. Ever.

"That it up ahead, Romeo?" Reno pointed down the street.

One could hope, after all.

Re: OCD the 2nd

[withoutverona]

"I think so," Romeo allowed, craning his neck to see the sign better. "If not, perhaps they would know where the other lingerie stores are? Or we could buy gifts and send shots of those to the girls."

He had finally hit on the idea of bribery.

Re: OCD the 2nd

[raspberryturk]

"I dunno 'bout you, man, but everything I saw 'em in? Shit. I don't think I could go through life knowin' they were just window shoppin', yo."

His credit cards were going to be molten by the time they were finished here.

"Better hurry up before they run outta stuff to try on, yo!" Reno was grinning. A lot. And maybe jogging some, too. Because... Well.

Wouldn't you run after getting pictures like those?

Re: OCD the 2nd

[withoutverona]

"Yurika needs the red one," he decided. "And the pinstripes. And the other red one." He was on the verge of a revery, but snapped himself back before he ran right into a newspaper box. Focus. Right.

"It might not be so bad if they ran completely out of things to try on," he added wickedly.

Re: OCD the 2nd

[raspberryturk]

Reno had to smirk at that one.

"I'm gettin' Rikku one of everything in the pictures, man. I'll spot you if you're short for any of Doji's. It'd be a freakin' sin that those things get left behind. Did you see those pictures?"

This was, of course, a question of the utmost rhetoric.

"Romeo! Man, I think this is what we're lookin' for!"

Re: OCD the 2nd

[the_merriest]

"I think they had that other one in black, though," Rikku said, poking her head out of the dressing room and looking around at the racks. "It's right over there. I'm gonna go see."

She was halfway there before she noticed a couple of figures in the doorway of the store, and she sprinted back to the dressing room, hoping she hadn't been seen.

It couldn't have been them. They were in Fandom. What the --

"They're here."

Re: OCD the 2nd

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Uso bakkari!" Dōjima hissed, cracking the door just slightly. "What? How?"

She peeked out, eeping slightly as she shut it. "We are in soooooooo much trouble," she said, toying with her cuffs nervously. "Buuuuusted."

Re: OCD the 2nd

[withoutverona]

There was a flash of familiar blond hair. "We're at the right place," Romeo told Reno with a smirk as he opened the door.

He found the assistant and asked, in French, //Are there two blond girls speaking English here?//

She looked bored. //All afternoon. Are you here to collect them?//

//In a way,// he said, and turned back to Reno. "We just need to get them to come out.

Re: OCD the 2nd

[raspberryturk]

Reno grinned and nodded.

"That should be the easy part, yo. This clerk ain't worried about the mess, is she?" He pulled his wallet from his pocket and waved it around, then gestured to the dressing rooms. "Don't worry 'bout nothin'," he smirked. "We got le money."

Reno and French did not mix.

"To the changeroom, Romeo?"

Re: OCD the 2nd

[withoutverona]

"Best idea you've had today," he said. "And no, I don't think she cares about the mess. I don't think she cares about much of anything, as long as we've the coins to cover any damage." Ahem.

He strode toward the back of the store, looking for a changing room.

Re: OCD the 2nd

[the_merriest]

Rikku clapped a hand over her mouth and tried to stifle the giggles.

"How did they even find us?" she whispered. "I mean, I don't know where we are!"

Being not from this world made her geography suck pretty hard.

"You think they're gonna be mad?"

She kiiiiinda had a feeling they wouldn't.
