♢ 6 ♢ sixteenth pact ❖ {shop til you drop}

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Emil appears on the Plane looking flushed but somehow happier than he's been previously. It might have something to do with the beginnings of a sunburn present on his cheeks and his upper arms. He's tired all the same, and practically collapses into a chair near the bar. All the bags he's been carrying go with him. They're full of clothes and souvenirs.

Speaking of clothes, Emil looks disturbingly normal in a white t-shirt and long dark shorts, along with sandals... but he's still wearing a scarf. Oh well.]

Five minutes! Please... I swear we've been shopping since the sun came up.

[Marta appears very shortly afterward, carrying far, far less. In fact, she's only got a small backpack on her back and a medium-large stuffed bear in her arms. She walks over to the chair beside Emil and plops down, all bounces and smiles and happiness.]

Aww... well, alright. You can take all the time you want, Emil! And when we go back, we can look at the stores on the other side! I want to play another game, too! And maybe go on another of those rides... [She trails off, staring starry-eyed and smiley off into space as she thinks about what a wonderful vacation this is!]

[Emil looks over at Marta and sighs. He reaches over the bar to get a glass, fills it from a nearby tap labeled 'water', and pulls it back to him-- all without leaving his seat. Someone's worn out.]

Yeah... sure...

[It takes her a minute or two to snap out of her daydreaming, at which point she looks at Emil and finally realizes just how tired he looks.]

Emil? Hey, are you sure you're okay?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[She catches him rubbing at his eyes, and he straightens and gives her an awkward smile. It's the best he can manage right now.] Y-yeah, I'm fine! Just tired... but we've been walking around a lot, so that's probably it.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[Frown! She saw that!!]

Yeah, I guess we have... I'm sorry, I didn't even realize, I was having so much fun...

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Crap, she's getting kinda upset.]

N-no, no, no, it's okay! Really! I'll be fine in a little bit. I just need some water.

[Maybe he's been sleepwalking. Who knows. His smile turns a little bittersweet.]

I'm sorry I'm holding you back. But if it means anything... I don't mind spending time with you, Marta.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[Bluuuush!]

I... I like spending time with you too, Emil... but we should do things you want to do, too! You can tell me next time if I'm being, you know, selfish... okay? A-And you're not holding me back! Don't think that!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head.] You're not selfish! There's nothing I can think of that I really want to do. It doesn't really matter to me, y'know? Anything's better than fighting all the time.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[She nods. She still feels like she's being a little selfish, but... well, if Emil says she's not, then it's okay. ♥]

You're right. [Pause] Hey, Emil? Maybe instead of shopping the rest of the day, we could just take it easy? [She cuddles the kinda ugly bear a little closer to her chest, smiling.]

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Oh... as long as that's okay with you, Marta.

[He considers.]

When the sun goes down, we can visit that casino place. You wanted to see it, right?

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

Of course it is. I brought it up, didn't I?

[Her eyes light up at the mention of the casino.] Oh, right! I'd love to! Can we, please?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Mm.

[He sips his water and nods, then offers a small smile.]

Yeah, it'll be fun. I've never been to a casino before, though, so... you're gonna have to show me what to do.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

Of course!

[Oh man, she looks so excited now...!]

You'll love it, Emil! There are all kinds of games, and you give them money and if you're really lucky, you get even more back! It's so much fun!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

O-oh, but... but I'm not very lucky.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

That's okay, we just won't spend very much. Maybe my luck will help! [Eerrrr....]

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[HAHAHAHAHA] Um... we'll see, I guess. [nervous laugh]

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

We'll be okay. [Smile!]

And... thank you, Emil. For this vacation, I mean.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah. [He smiles but blinks through it, blushing a little.]

But-- I didn't organize it or ask for it or anything.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

But you thought of it too, didn't you? And you said we should go. So you helped. [Firm nod!]

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Mm... I guess. [A pause. He's feeling a little better.] Want some water? -- It's actually water this time.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[/?]

Actually water? Well, what else would it be?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[...]

Nn--nothing! Nothing at all!

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[Blink!]

Okay. And, I think I'm okay without water, but thank you! You're sweet to offer!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Woo... dodged that one. He grins a bit and sips his glass. hjfklslkjadff]

[ex_fatalist246]

[Hey look, it's an amnesiac who is no longer an amnesiac. And he has a companion. Surely that is a good sign.]

Then you've remembered.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Emil glances at Marta for a second, then back to Satoshi. His star-shaped birthmark, which was visible last time they "met", is covered up by the scarf.

But Satoshi can always ask for him to take it off, since Saffy forgot details despite knowing that Satoshi is a very detail-oriented guy. Lawls.]

Remembered... what? Sorry, but who are you?

[Oh, Martel. Please don't say this is about that one time. Please don't...]

[ooc: posting order: Satoshi, Emil, Marta?]

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[Marta looks from Satoshi, to Emil, back to Satoshi... and is just plain confused. She also has never seen Satoshi before, so she's a little bit wary.]

Hmm? What's going on?

((OoC: Works for me? ♥))
