TNDG Day 9: Second Date

[keybroad]

[Lotus is hanging outside the prop room. Not far from that door, there's a second, unfamiliar opening in the wall. Those golden high-heels are sitting in the genkan, though maybe it's hasty to use that description when the rest of the room that is currently blocked off with drills running. Lotus is already wearing sleek navy blue roller skates with teal wheels, matching the navy blue sweatpants and teal-printed white T-shirt that she had already been wearing. There are black skates with purple wheels in her hands. Her body thrums with a nervous energy that may be more than the vacillations of her roller blades on the ground; Kyrie may be sufficiently familiar with the signs to deduce that Lotus has consumed a serious quantity of caffeine that just now really started to kick in.

She locks eyes with Kyrie and chipperly greets her with a cliche:]

It's okay, I just got here myself~

Well at first I didn't really think anything of it, when someone else finally pointed it out I started wearing sarashi and I finally got a chance to go shopping on a day off. Some other girls took pity on me and took me out.

[keybroad]

College girls can be really nice sometimes...! [SHE'S SO GLAD THIS STORY HAS A HAPPY ENDING.] You know, I don't think I've never actually worn a sarashi. I was never stuck in wafuku enough hours at a time... maybe if I ever remarry I'll have a Shinto wedding this time and use one then.

[meatitfeedson]

Oh, did you wear a white gown? Shinto weddings do look nice, but western style is really chic, I bet you looked great!

[keybroad]

Yeah! It was one of those little Christian ceremonies. Way easier to walk around and get in and out of the court building. It didn't last too long... I kind of wish more people could have made it in...

[The sour note there is pretty subtle but it raises a question. If she went to college in Tokyo, and she got married around that time, and as an Edokko her family also lives in Tokyo, why wasn't a bustling family there. WELL WHATEVER IT IS IN THE PAST EVERYTHING'S FINE!!!]

It should go without saying that you'd be invited, Kyrie.

[meatitfeedson]

Small, simple ceremonies are nice though, ours was like that too. It's less of a headache.

[Between her family being estranged and Rudolf's being small, it was probably mostly employees...]

What was the date, I'll come crash it with Rosa.

[keybroad]

[The friendly salarymen they raised and supported...!]

After all the time I've spent here running around inviting people places, I can understand wanting to keep it cozy.

[She flushes at the mention of - the name of a whole entire second person who is also making this kind friendly gesture, which she did not immediately expect.]

It was... January 18th, 2006.
