---

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Her brain is total mush. Completely and totally.

Fortunately there is only one cure!

That's right. Milkshakes!

And today is the day when her coin purse is full of allowance, couch cushion change, and even some bills she's found stuffed in a sock for some reason. But hey, money!

She waltzes up the steps, but when she reaches the counter she just PLOPS down.

"Motoki-nii! The usual if you will!" Then she groans and drops her head on the counter. "Make it a double."

Whatever that is.

Ug, ug, ug! Her brain is...floaty and blah. Did she eat enough at lunch? Maybe.

Milkshake received, she turns to the semi crowded room. Some faces she knows (WAVE! HI HOW ARE YOU!) and some she doesn't (WAVE! HI HOW ARE YOU!).

Sip, sip, sip.

She's feeling better already.

Suzuki Natsume has posed:
     Roughly an hour ago, Suzuki was mid-practice for Kendo, swinging a stick around like it was nothing!

     Then it occured to her that, probably, she should be trying to do things with Mari! Shortly after that, she pulled out her phone, and texted Mari a simple message. 'Let's go to the arcade. ^-^'

     After waiting for a response, Suzuki quickly rinsed off the sweat, got dressed in a relatively normal outfit(A shortened kimono, it's only knee-length, how scandalous!) for her.

     And she was ... kind of ... hovering around the entrance to the arcade, just inside. Looking around at the various people there and wholly unsure what she was doing there. But she did remember something. That Mamoru had suggested that she go to the arcade with her. Something about more physical games that would be good for them!

     She did, however, spot Usagi! ... The girl who she had caused to freak out and run off crying when she had pretended to be a nurse at Mamoru's side a couple months ago.

     She quietly decides that maybe she'd invite her to play with them! Because this totally wasn't a date, just hanging around.

     That and she wanted to apologize for making her run off in tears.

Vespa Rayne has posed:
Vespa currently sitting at booth causally looking at her phone while she once and while takes a drink from her milkshake.
There also a fairy sitting on the table with Vespa eating the cherry that came on top of the milkshake.
"So yummy..", the fairy says between bites. Vespa looks at the fairy. "Are you sure you don't want a sip Sunbeam?"
"Ugh! I don't like blueberry. Has to be choclate!"
"Well just eat the rest of the cherry and don't go and try and steal from other customers okay?", Vespa says. "Okay!", the fairy says taking another bite out of the cherry.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa knew something was up and when SUZU and MARI are spotted walking into the arcade she gasps scandously! "I'm going to make sure this goes well!" "You really shouldn't." says Corvus.

"HEY!--- those are my friends! This has to go well!" she screams. Corvus sighhhhs. "Fine. But how are w----" Haruna shoves her hand into Corvus's tailfeathers and pulls out a set of PreCards....!

<N-n-ninja! Time to change!~>.

There's a flash from the Pretty Change Mirror and Haruna becomes a /NINJA!/. Like for reals. She even goes 'Ni....!" and jumps to the top of the arcade in a sudden arc of green color and sneaks in a hatch at the top of the arcade and tiptoes over a light fixture and peeks down at the affairs. "I am a ninja in the night...! No one shall sense my meddling! This Date will go well!" she insists!

She then falls down from the fixture behind the counter.

She stares at Motoki. He stares back at her. She blushes. "Embrass-hide jutsu!" she says as she throws a smoke bomb and dissapears.

She peeks up from the far side of the counter. She moved like three feet in that -> direction.

She peeks over at Usagi and blinks as she peeks back over at Suzuki and Katsu-chan. She was flawless! There's no way they saw her! Except, you know. That whole little kerfluffe. Surely her blonde hair and feather clip barrete aren't noticeable at all peeking over sneakily.

(They are.)

Mari Katsu has posed:
    It's unusual for Mari to dress any different than she does normally, and even more unusual for her not to be carrying her backpack and tennis racket. IT's such a usual presensce in her attire that anyone who knows her might be put off by the fact that she isn't carrying it.. But this isn't a 'normal' day.

    As she steps off the public transport, Mari stops to look towards the arcade just down the road, and slowly lifts her right hand to remove a pair of ear buds tucked away beneath her hair and slide them into her pocket after she deactivates a small device attached to her waist.

.oO( ...Jeeze... I've dealt with preasure before, but this is... )

    Mari just pauses for a moment in her thought, then scowls before she raises both hands to slap her cheeks firmly!

.oO( Stop that! There is nothing different about this! We're just meeting Suzu-chan at the arcade! )

    Giving a firm nod to herself, Mari takes a deep breath then snaps her heels together to trigger the mechanisims in her shoes that allow two small wheels to pop out of the heels of the shoes, then shoves off letting the wheels carry her along.

    As she rolls up, there's a moment where Mari skids to a stop and smiles waving to Suzuki.

"Suzu-chan! Sorry I'm late! I had to find someone to look after my sister for a bit." Mari calls out before she smiles and lets her shoes pop back to normal. As for her sister....

    Flashback!

Mari's phone beeps as it recieves Suzuki's message, and after a few moments of staring in silent contemplation, Mari runs over to her desk and grabs hold of a note pad which she quickly writes down 'Blue-sama! If you see this, pop in and look after my sister for a bit, important things came up!' Then she runs over to the largest dress mirror in the room and slaps the note against it taping it in place before she starts running around the room, grabbing clothing and throwing it in every direction while trying to pick out what to wear.

    Long story short... If Blue accepts Mari's offer, he'll arrive to her dorm room to see a very confused little sister and what looks like a tornado having hit Mari's bedroom.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi soon shrugs and turns back to Motoki. No one she knows, at least not well enough, are sitting at any tables or booths. (There's one person who maaaaay--but she can't just randomly go 'PLOP! HI I'M GONNA BE YOUR FRIEND TODAY!')

(Yeah she totally can. She may very well do.)

And then...

She feels a hover. A disturbance in the force.

Slowly, she turns, and when she spots Suzuki, she acts totally calm! Totally cool! And is totally not pressed back against the counter like 'EEK!'

Then, a wave at her and who just showed up because why not and--

CRAAAAAAAAAASH!

Usagi shrieks and is on the counter, and then SMOKE and she shrieks again and is on Motoki-nii's back and--

Wait a minute.

"Why are you being all sneaky?"

Of course it's fail sneaky, but still!

And after a moment, she slides down from Motoki-nii's back and dusts him off.

Of course, he takes it in stride, only a sweat drop to indicate his wtfery.

Suzuki Natsume has posed:
     Was that a spike of magical energy nearby? Nah... couldn't have been! Not during their hangout time, that would just be the worst luck ever!

     There was, however, what appeared to be ... a smoke bomb... and ... was that ... Haruna's voice? Suzuki peers in that direction for a few moments. Possibly noting how Haruna was dressed up... and then promptly looking away.

     If Haruna was playing ninja, who was she to ruin it by spotting her this early?! That would just be being a bad play-partner! She takes a small breath, and then... there was a Mari there! Wooh! And she's... rolling up... and why did her cheeks look reddened? It wasn't like a blush. "Are... you okay, Ka...Mari-chan." She says, her tone very slightly awkward, but otherwise she looked calm and normal! More or less! "Oh... you could have just brought her along. I'm sure she could have fun here too, and she didn't seem to dislike me that much the other day."

     Finally, she steps towards Usagi. "One second, Mari-chan." She moves closer to the blonde-haired girl with pigtails. She takes a deep breath, before exhaling. Oh goddess she said one second but it felt so awkward asking her to join them. Ugh! She takes another small breath, before reaching a hand to lightly tap usagi's shoulder. "If... ... you ... erm.... want company... can ... uhm. Join us." She says quietly. "AlsosorryabouttheotherdayatthehospitalIwasreallyworriedaboutmyfriend." Pause. Breaaaaathe. Oh right. That was possibly bad timing. She was freaking out right now.

             Well. That's awkward.

Vespa Rayne has posed:
Vespa hms looking over at some noise coming from the counter and some smoke and the Usagi freaks out. Vespa is a but surpised and knocks over her milkshake onto the table! . "Ugh...", she says and starts cleaing up the mess with some napkins "Great..", Vespa says sighing a bit. "Dodge success!", Sunbeam says now floating. Vespa looks at the fairy. "Good for you..", keeps cleaing up, dabbing at the spill with more napkins. Sunbeam now spots the hiding Hanrua and start floating over to her curious about what the girl is doing.

Mari Katsu has posed:
    Mari just smiles as she rubs her cheeks a bit, then nods before she courtsey's politely to Suzuki. "I'm fine, Suzu-chan, I just had to wake myself up a bit." She replies before she quietly smiles. "Suzu-cha-" She pauses, as Suzuki tells her to hold up and smiels before she nods and walks into the arcade propper, moving to take a seat at one of the nearby booths before she takes a deep breath and smiles.

    Taking a look around, Mari takes note of Usagi-chan.. and Vespa.. Haruna is 'hidden' by precure logic so for the moment, she seems completely oblivious to the fact that Haruna was hiding away for nin-nin reasons!

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa shhhhhhhhhhhs! at Usagi. Yes. Only Usagi can see her and totally not Suzu or anyone else.

(They totally can!)

She blinks at Suzu's sudden spasm of words. "Woah-hey is something wrong Suzu-chan!? Wait---you can't see me! I'M A NINJA!" she suddenly retorts into the conversation!

"O-oh! Sorry I was meddli-----I was following Suzu-chan and Katsu-chan's outing!"

She leans into Usagi and whispers conspiratorily "/they're on a date!/" she says dreamily. "Join them! I bet you have some good advice for them! They're both really new at it! Aren't they cute?~" she whispers.

She blinks over to Vespa..."AH!? Ah!!! SORRY!" she says more louder. She zips over and begins helping Vespa clean.

"I'm sneaky." she insists.

"So sneaky you were surprised and made a mess!" she insists.

Corvus- the silver raven on her shoulder sighs and sort of facewings a bit in exasperation and perhaps bird-embarassment.

She then hides behind the employee side of the counter again peeking up.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi blinks at Suzuki before her brain slows down the sentence. Then she smiles, a beaming one she gives to, well, just about everybody. "That's okay! I was worried, too."

Haruna's shhhhhhing. Oh! Is she super sneaky and only she--

Nope, others see her, too!

Usagi's about to accept the offer of joining Susuki, but wait!

"A date?" She whispers to Haruna. To Susuki: "I don't want to impose!" Wait, WHAT?! A whispered shriek to Haruna as her face grows red. "HOW CAN I GIVE ADVICE?!"

WHAT!

But then she's gone, helping with milkshake messes!

Another, albiet shaky this time, grin at Suzuki. "Um...sure...? If you don't mind?"

Another shout to Haruna, who is back behind the counter, and her arms are flapping. "I GIVE HORRIBLE ADVICE! WHAT ADVICE ABOUT WHAT!!!"

Tadase Hotori has posed:
Tadase walks into the Game Center Crown for one of its much talked-about milkshakes. And also video games. And it was /supposed/ to be a Guardian's day out, where they spent time together away from the Royal Garden. Like a teambuilding exercise. But instead, they all had one excuse, or another, for not being around today.

The excuses were bad and they should feel bad, as well.

"Well, I guess it's just you and me, Hinamori-san" he says as they walk through the sliding door. "So uh, do you play video games?" he asks, smiling a bit. "Or do you want to stop and get a milkshake first? They don't like it when you have drinks on the cabinets, though."

Kiseki floats by. "Well, that's too bad. You're the King, you do what you want."

Tadase laughs nervously. He's about to respond to Kiseki, until his attention (and hopefully Amu's) are taken by Usagi Tsukino, arms flailing behind the counter, and odango-tails similarly flailing. That is... a thing that is happening.

Vespa Rayne has posed:
Vespa blinks and blinks again at the ninja. "Yes you really surpised me ninja-san." She looks overat Usagi. "WHY ARE YOU YELLING?! WHY AM I YELLING?!" Sunbeam giggles and lands on Haruna's head. "Hey Ninja-san get me a milkshake to replace the one you spilt!"

Suzuki Natsume has posed:
     "Oh, okay! I see... wait... why did that redden your cheeks? Did you go on a run or something?" Suzuki asks towards Mari curiously, tilting her head a bit. Hmm! She moves closer to Mari, reaching a hand to take hers quietly. "Sorry, uhm... I just thought, uhm... ... well, she's one of Mamoru-san's friends so she's probably a good person so making friends with her would be nice." Suzu says quietly.

     Haruna speaks up, which gets a curious look towards Haruna, shifting a bit nervously. Hmmm. "I don't see a ninja here but if they were, I'd tell them that everything is fine." Suzuki gives a small nod at nothing and then looks back towards Usagi! She was completely unaware of the whisper, otherwise she probably would have denied that. This was just hanging out! Oh well.

     "Yeah, uhm... I can... be a bit.. uhm... overprotective ... of friends." She mumbles towards Usagi, rubbing the back of her head a bit shyly. "Yes! ... I just invited Mari to go to the arcade because she showed me games and I mentioned it ... and uhm. Mamoru-san suggested that we might have fun at the arcade because it has more uhm... movement-involved games since we're both ... sportsy." She nods quickly. "And, erm... well... more friends makes games more fun, right?" She smiles as she moves over to her booth. "Do you have any suggestions on the milkshakes here? I hear they're tasty."

     There was so much freaking out and flailing going on. Suzuki quickly decided that just rolling with it was the best idea. She wasn't sure that wasn't normal, anyway.

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Nervousness and Amu go hand in hand. Tripply so when she has to spend alone time with ~*Tadase-kun*~. She's fairly certain that the other guardians ditched them on purpose, but for the life of her, Amu Hinamori cannot figure out why.

Nevertheless, Ice Cream and Video Games are a good second option, and who the heck is she to say no to spending time with Tadase? So she enters alongside him, dressed in a short pink-and-black aldybug dress beneath a white sweater. Her pink hair is mostly loose except for a single x-shaped clip on the left side, holding her bangs out of her eyes.

"Eh, video games are for little kids," Amu replies to Tadase. Wait, what?! That's not what she meant to say!

A little cheerleader-faerie pops up over her shoulder, peering at the game center crown curiously. "Amu-chan! Ice cream!" Ran says excitedly. Indeed, Ice Cream Everywhere. Or at least more places than it should be. Hopefully this will distract Tadase from her stupidity.

"What is even happening?" Amu asks Tadase confusedly. "This place is crazy."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa replies to Usagi. "/About dating! look. Suzu-chan needs the help the most!/" she whispers to Usagi. Then she winks! WINKS! "Look, you got Chiba-kun on a date the other day, right at the Infinity gala right!? This is like cheesecake to that!" she says with wide eyes at Usagi pleadingly. Yeah this'll go down well.

SUDDENLY. She turns to face Tadase and blinks! Hotori-kun! Eeeee~

She turns back at Mari and Suzu and Usagi. "Go~ I bet they'll get you stuff too for the good advice for you!"

She looks to Sunbeam and squints. "Corvus get em a replacement milkshake." Corvus /UGHHHHHS/ so loudly, but the raven goes does that. Yeah a silver raven is ordering a Milkshake AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS.

SUDDENLY!!!

Haruna is peeking her head in between Tadase and Amu's leaning down. "Hiiiii Tadase-kun~ Hiii---um..... X-clip-chan~" she says to the two. "Are you two here together!?" she asks wide eyes. Haruna bleeds an aura of PURE meddling today.

"My friends are on a date and I'm making sure it goes perfectly~" she whispers to the two. This is like the opposite of 'perfect' at the moment.

Corvus lands on her head after supplying the priorily asked for Milkshake. ...OH! right.

She whispers to Tadase. "Hotori-kun~ Do you see Suzuki-chan and Katsu-chan there!? You should ask them about Virtue sometimes. I think they'd be neat- but that's your gig!" she winks after the whisper~ "Not now thou, like I said. Date. I can meddl---give you thier phone numbers later or somethin~" she teases.

Mari Katsu has posed:
    Mari's face just remains as straight as possible as she does her very best to remain oblivious to Haruna and her antics.. She's a ninja. Calling her out on her failed stealth would be rude ... riiight up until the statement that she's here to watch her and Suzuki. That raises an eyebrow, but she doesn't say anything.. INstead, she focuses on Suzuki as she makes her way over, and smiles quietly.

"Eh? No, no, I slap my cheeks to wake up... It shocks the system a bit, gets blood flowing, that sort of thing." She pauses and blushes. "Plus... well I was a bit nervous.. I didn't want to show up stuttering and say something stupid, so I gave myself a swift 'kick' so to speak to get my head back on straight..." She admits while shuffling her feet.. right up until the moment her hand is taken hold of.

    The silence that follows that moment is probably tense enough to see, though the blush that reddens her cheeks soon after probably explains why. She hadn't actually expected the hand grab so suddenly. Shaking her head a bit quickly, Mari's curiousity finally gets the better of her. "Suzu-chan..." She starts. "...What in the world is Haruna-chan doing? She and Usagi-chan seem to be .. um... rather excited for some reason." The tone of her voice has become slightly more nervous, even as she peeks around silently, shaknig her head for a moment before she looks back to Suzuki. "...Anyway..." She pauses, shaking her head again. "Let's just order some food. I'm sure if Haruna-chan or Usagi-chan want to join us, they will."

After another short pause, and another outburst from Haruna, Mari just sweatdrops visibly.

"Although.. IF Haruna-chan is training to be a ninja... she should probably start over..." She comments a few moments later.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
"I'M YELLING BECAUSE I'M CONFUSED, YOU'RE YELLING BECAUSE I AM!"

Then Usagi's cheeks turn about ten shades of red when she sees more people come in.
Then about twenty more shades of red on top of THAT at what Haruna whispers. "SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" People aren't supposed to--wha--How--THEY HIDE IT SO WELL! "It wasn't a date!" This is hissed.

She takes a menu and sits stiffly at the booth, folding the plastic open and clears her throat.

"Milkshakes. They use the good ice cream here. Here's your basics, Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate. If you're looking for something faintly sweet, I recommend the strawberry. Here's more middle range flavors...cookie dough, ridonkulous variations of chocolate, peanut butter, and chocolate with peanut butter. If you go this route, I highly recommend adding bananna. And THEN we have the Super Duper Amazing milkshakes." She places her hands on the menu. "If you're going to go with more than one milkshake, as I normally do, I recommend one of the Super Dupers, maybe a mid range, and finishing with the classics. However, if your taste buds can handle being attacked by sheer bliss and your wallet won't sob when you leave, by all means, go all out on the Super Dupers."

Then she clears her throat. "I'm protective of him, too, so." At least she can say that much, right?

Tadase Hotori has posed:
Tadase is dressed in a white sweater that's just a little baggy. And he just... kinda... looks. at everything. He shrugs when Amu is asking him what's going on. "It's busy today, I guess! That's good for Motoki-san." he says, pointing to the guy who is trying to just do his job. Poor guy.

Haruna comes up! Tadase knows Haruna pretty well, having been there to support her when her mascot tried to end the world. "Haruna-san. This is Amu Hinamori~" he says, doing the proper introduction. He pauses though. Does he introduce her as a Guardian? She hasn't quite taken that role, though Kukai says he has a plan. Kukai has a lot of plans. Most of them are good. Some of them are not.

"My classmate." he settles on. It's true, it's not dramatic. "We were coming here with some friends, but they all called out on us. At once." he adds, conspiratorially.

"Sure. I'll call them later. Right now I'm not on business though...

Usagi's going on about milkshakes. Kiseki is in Tadase's ear demanding that the King have the King of Milkshakes, the Super Duper. Kiseki may be biased. "Do you want a milkshake, Hinamori-san?" he asks. "or... ice cream?" he adds with a look at Ran.

Suzuki Natsume has posed:
     "Oh! Like ... okay. I understand now. That does explain why it looked a little like you were slapped." Suzu says, giving a small nod towards Mari. smiling slightly towards her. "...Why were you nervous? We're just here to play games together. It's no worse than when we went to your room to play on your game... box... thingy. Console? Console." She nods slightly towards herself as she thinks on that. Hmm.

     And reddening cheeks, and... she rubs the back of her head. "...From the way Haruna-chan is acting, uhm..." She thinks quietly a few moments. "I think that she's uhm... ... She's being a ninja." Suzuki gives a firm nod. "She's really excited though. She's not being very stealthy." She says, a little quieter. she thinks a few moments as she looks towards the menu, and...

     Usagi comes over! And begins to talk about the milkshakes. Suzuki listens rather intently. This was something she knew and loved: Sweets! Except she hadn't been here yet. points at the super dupers. "I think I'll have a super duper, vanilla ice cream with chocolate chunks and some strawberry bits and banana..." She nods slightly to herself, lifting her little purse out of her kimono's arm and pulling out a little bit of money. Enough to cover Usagi's, Mari's, and her own milkshake. ... Being the daughter of people who are well-off and had more money than they used was always nice!

     She clears her throat softly. "If there is a ninja here I believe that I would offer to pay for their milkshake as well." She says, her gaze briefly flitting over towards Haruna, before looking back towards her menu again. Yes. She's paying for people. Her allowance isn't going to survive the wrath of Usagi.

Amu Hinamori has posed:
"I WOULD LIKE BOTH ICE CREAM AND A SUPER-DUPER MILKSHAKE!" Amu says very suddenly and very loudly. Amu slaps her hands over her mouth, then turns around and literally snatches the cheerleader-fairy out of the air.

"You could just ask!" she yells at the creature in her hands angrily. "Geeze!" Stuffing Ran in the bag she has over her shoulder, Amu takes a deep breath then stares at Haruna. There's a little squeak of objection from the chara, but what's she gonna do about it? Probably get Amu back for it later.

Amu looks Haruna over, then arches a brow, "What are you supposed to be, some kind of love ninja?" Yep, she just comes right out and says it.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa beams! "Yes! I am Ninja-chan Gull Wing, Ninja of /love/." she says with wide eyes at Amu suddenly and fast and complelty out of turn for a moment.

Vespa Rayne has posed:
Sunbeam yahs as the raven brings over the milkshake for the fairy. "Whoo! Thanks Raven-san!"
Vepsa looks at the fairy. "..I guess this what passes for normal in my live now raven getting milkshakes for faires...."
"OKAY! I'll STOP YELLING!", Vespa says looking over at Usagi.
"I think I might need a Super Duper milkshake now.. But I'll just take some of yours Sunbeam", which she does. She just sits back and watch the love er chaos unfold.

Mari Katsu has posed:
    Mari just smiles a bit before she nods. "Yeah, that's what I told myself when I started getting nervous." She replies before she quietly smiles and leans over kissing Suzuki on the cheek. "The only difference is that here we'll be moving around more when we play a game." She replies before she smiles and waves at Usagi-chan.

"I hope you liked the food the other day... I ordered for myself, but had to leave quick. Sorry to just drop free food on you like that." She adds before she stands up and stretches. "I don't have much experience with them, other than just like.. basic vanilla or chocolate." She replies before she quietly shrugs her shoulders.

    Then she looks back to Suzuki and smiles. "Should we do something while we wait? Got your eye on any game in particular Suzu-chan?"

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi feels a sense of pride when, all around her, people seem to be taking her advice on milkshakes.

After all, she is a milk shake genius!

And then Suzuki, sweet, wonderful, lovely person! "Really?" Hearts in eyes!

Quickly, she takes her half finished milkshake off the table, turns, and slurps it all down. Her own Super Duper! She sets the glass on the table. "Yes, please!" Hers will be a monstrosity of delicious gloriousness!

"Well, there's Sailor V, a few Sonics, some older Street Fighters, a dance game thing I'd break my face if I tried, a few shoot em ups, claw games..." She gestures to the arcade. "Basically, if it doesn't take twelve years to play, odds are you'll find it or something like."

Tadase Hotori has posed:
Tadase laughs a bit - an honest one, this time - as Amu wrestles with her very difficult Shugo Chara. He can't say he doesn't understand her plight, and his eyes even wander to Kiseki. As if on que, Kiseki whispers "get the milkshake". Tadase does grin, going up to the counter and ordering two of the megalarge Super Duper milkshakes - one for him and one for Amu.

He turns around to her. "Well, there must be something around here that catches your interest. I mean, you did agree to come and all." he adds. When the milkshakes are sat down, he pushes one her way. "But if you're not having fun I can take you home after the shakes." he adds. It's not meant to sound passive aggressive; it's Tadase genuinely being Tadase, and not wanting to inflict the horrors of The Arcade on Amu if she wants to go.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa is good at figuring out who's good at what job! Yay! Now Usagi is giving awesome advice! "Now I am going to dissapear into the night!------" she turns and begins to walk out the door. Trip over the mat in front. Her Ninja Precard costume goes 'poof' and then she acks!

Then she peeks conspiratorily and crawls out the rest of the way.

She thinks she did good today!

Corvus completely disagrees in every conciviable way.

Suzuki Natsume has posed:
     "I see... so you had a similar thought line." Suzuki says, giving a very small little chuckle. Which cuts off. When she is kissed on the cheek. Oh. Marshamallow. Goodness. Though she outwardly seems relatively calm, she's internally freaking out and possibly squealing a little. Externally though, her cheeks just flush lightly. "Yes... that's kind of what I was thinking. And it involves less of me almost pulling your controller out of your game console." Suzuki says with a firm nod.

     "...'I'm sorry to just drop free food on you like that' is a very odd-sounding apology to me, Mari-chan." Suzuki says towards Mari, giving an actual, tiny giggle this time. INstead of a chuckle. "Uhmm.... sure! Let's, uhm.." She pauses, looking around a bit. Arcade. She didn't know where to begin. Luckily... USAGI TO THE RESCUE! "Yes, really." She says towards her. Well, it looks like any issues between them were pretty much instantly abolished over a shared love of sweets. They understood each other on a primal, unspoken level! That will get them so many stomach aches.

     "Sonics... street... fighters... a dance game... uhm..." She pauses. Claw games? She looks towards them quietly a few moments. Could she... maybe... hmmm. She began to muse on that, thinking silently to herself. "...I'll be right back!" She says, before standing up to quickly make her way over to the claw game to begin to attempt to see if she can win something adorable for Mari!

Amu Hinamori has posed:
Amu is too busy being utterly surprised by the admission of Cure Gull as a Ninja to even notice that Tadase has gone to retrieve her milk shake for her. She should object strenuously to this! Except ~*Tadase-kun just bought her a drink?!*~ When Amu realises this, she blushes a little, and very quietly, very slowly sits down at a seat with the drink.

"Tadase-kun," she murmurs at his thoughtfulness, then clutches the milkshake gently in her hands. Even 'thank you' seems difficult all the sudden, but she manages somehow:: "Thank you."

Ran pushes her way up through the bag's top with much miniature grunting and effort. "Amu-chan, I'm so hungry!" she pleads for her case. This proves a sufficient distraction from Amu's amazement. She reaches down and pulls the little fairy out, then waggles a finger at her.

"Just let me be me!" she scolds the chara, before letting her go. Ran has the good sense to look suitably chastened for precisely half a second before diving straight for the ice cream with a high-pitched squeal of excitement.

Amu lets out a little sigh and twists around to look in her pouch. Gently, she caresses the two remaining eggs, then shakes her head. "So much trouble, you all are," she mumbles to herself quietly.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi pulls out her phone and sends a text to Mamoru after watching Haruna leave. She gives a little wave to Corvus.

TXT: Haruna's on to us.

She hits send, then thinks a moment, and sends another text.
