A. [Action] for Goldenrod Department Store; Morning

[Ren has been shopping as he's feeling much better than he has for weeks. He has some stuff he's already bought and now he's getting the last things he wants. So you can meet Ren at the music department of the store, looking at the saxophones and other musical things.]


B. [Video/Action] for Route 34; afternoon

[Ren is not too happy. Morning went fine as he finally got to do some shopping, but now he's been dragged to train his Pokémon (by his own Pokémon) and it's no longer a nice day. Mostly because Ren doesn't particulary care for training as it's bothersome... but also because he obviously has issues with his Pokémon. It's the rocketchip that makes his starter really enthusiastic on getting stronger (for the team) and Ren is not very suited for training such a Pokémon as he's not the most outgoing person. It doesn't help that Zebstrikas are naturally violent.

The problems are why Ren's making a video feed today.]

What do you do when your Pokémon is crazy? [He pauses.] I'd keep it inside its ball, but it somehow always gets out... and that always happens when I try to make it go to my PC box, too.

[Really bothersome, really. Why did some Pokémon escape so well from their balls if they were meant to be for keeping them in control.]

This isn't what makes it crazy though. It seems obsessed with training and keeps thinking that it's in charge of things around here. [He looks away from the camera.] Even now it's almost training by itself...

[Ren will now move the camera so that it shows a Zebstrika, fighting a Snubbull in the grass. Well, for a second at least. Then the Zebstrika turns its attention to Ren... and makes a sound of disapproval.]

Did I already mention that it's also pretty violent?

[... Which might become clear as the zebra comes to Ren and knocks him harshly before Ren has time to really react. Its obviously not really happy about its trainers slacking off again.] Ugh... Fine, fine. We'll continue.

[And it's the end of the feed. Which one here was the Pokémon and which one was the trainer?]



C. [Action] for Team Rocket HQ; evening

[Some time later, there's one slightly injured Rocket in the base. Looks like this time the training didn't go pretty well, huh?]

[Blunt is a good way to go in any situation.]

I always work alone.

[See, blunt all the way from her side too. Though she will keep the offer in her mind, but ...Whatever.

Someone's starting to feel like she could be somewhere else, so hey, it's one of those situations where she's about to walk away from this handsome guy.]

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

[Leaving already? Hmm... that's not really what Ren would like. So he'll change tactics.]

You know, I would have someone with a fashion sense to help me pick a new outfit.

[A / Action]

[meikyuubutterfly]

And why would that someone with great fashion sense help you with it?

[Honestly, she might be a bit interested, but she's not showing it at all. Though new outfits wouldn't hurt her own wardrobe either... But, no reason to get new clothes just for clothes. Why couldn't that stray cat be here?]

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

To ease boredom, perhaps.

[A / Action]

[meikyuubutterfly]

I'm not bored. [Wait, yes she is and maybe he meant his own boredom.

Give her a moment to think about it, and see her sharp look soften a bit.]

...But I guess I need new clothes and you've got good taste in clothing, so it's a deal then.

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

[Ren smiles. This was proving to be a nice day.]

Let us go to the clothes department, then.

[A / Action]

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Yup, she'll walk to that direction right now.]

This could also be a race [competition, that is] of which one finds more clothes to the other.

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

[Oh Utau and your competitions.]

Sounds fun. Count me in.

[A / Action]

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Hey, if it gets her even much more interested in something, then ... then competition good!]

Don't cry for your mommy or someone else when you lose.

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

Don't worry. I'm a good loser, if that's something that will happen.

[A / Action]

[meikyuubutterfly]

Have you ever done something like this before?

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

Not really. Have you?

[A / Action]

[meikyuubutterfly]

Yup, because the stray cat boy can do whatever he wants to do and shopping is not on the list of his favorite things.


[OOC: because my headcanon says that Utau buys his clothes too. Whether it's with or without him on the shop, is a different story... And whether she just imagines the clothes on him or if he actually wears clothes that Utau bought for him... That's a different story too.]

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

Ah. Then I guess you have an advantage. [Since he doesn't really even do much of his own shopping. Being rich kid is easy.] I'll still make it a challenge for you.

[A / Action]

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Utau smirks.] You better make it a tough challenge for me.

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

I will. There's no need to worry otherwise.

[A / Action]

[meikyuubutterfly]

Good, because I don't want it to be like child's play.

[fffffffffffffffff, using that icon and the word child at the same time.... sorry, future boyfriendoooooooooooo!]

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

[Have a small, amused laugh. And look, they've arrived to the right department.]

Well then, let the games begin.

[A / Action] + random icon button ... ow, wow, stylish Dark Jewel~

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Quick exchange of sizes and off she goes to the men's side of the department.

Oh, did she mention that she's an ex-model too? This was going to be a piece of cake.

Today's style is rock until you drop, without the until you drop part actually. It's stupid how some people would just pick anything to try to win this thing. Well, Utau is not one of those people, she actually puts thought into everything that she picks from there. Yes, even to those that she picks on the last minute.]

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

[Even if Ren hadn't done this before, he's certainly not going to make random choices. He thinks about them carefully until the given time is over.]

[A / Action]

[meikyuubutterfly]

[And once the time is up, they'll meet near the changing rooms and she gives the men's clothes to Ren with a neutral face.]

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

[He hands the clothes he picked as well.]

Well, should we try these on at the same time or how?

[A / Action]

[meikyuubutterfly]

Either that or we'll do it in turns. Whichever works for me.

[A / Action]

[saxsongs]

Hmm... I guess we could do it the same time. Saves time and gives something to do while the other changes.

[A / Action]

[meikyuubutterfly]

Okay. I'll try not to be as fast as a model, then.

[And into one of the changing rooms she goes!]
