no running in the halls!

[hot off the presses, this one, horrendous new clothes and all. wherever it is in the DR's apartment building that Lea's chosen to roost, that's where Isa's getting ~~yeeted~~ catapulted, quite literally. at least it had the decency to drop her outside the apartment, right? enjoy the distinct sound of someone colliding hard with the wall next to the door and crumpling into a groaning mess on the floor. there's sand on her shoes, and a familiar frisbee came with her, dropped a short distance from where she landed. knock knock, Lea.]

[you're right, that was pretty gay. Isa goes very slightly pink and lets Lea take one, putting the other one on the pile on her shoulder.]

I've never been able to just take clothes before. Did you find anything interesting?

[besides that flannel monstrosity which will probably look great on Lea, goddammit.]

[ She tosses it over the shoulder with the tank top, which she fully intends to just let Isa find in her pile of clothes later, but she does offer up the pants (are they even pants? Lea doesn't know) for show. ]

Dunno if these are your style, but I think they'd look good on you. This one's for me.

[ Patting the flannel on her other shoulder. ]

It's funny, I'm seeing it around a lot lately.

[Isa looks surprised and then pleased, and takes the pants to examine them. sexy isn't usually her style, but they are pretty, and why the hell not, she has her whole life ahead of her now, plus a Lea to seduce (not that that'll take much).]

I do like them, even though I wouldn't have picked them out myself. And I don't think it'll spoil anything for you if I tell you that your magic clothes from Yen Sid feature plaid. It looks surprisingly good on you.

[ A squint. ]

That's kind of weird. What is it, some kind of hivemind? Whatever, I'm taking it. Especially when you put it like that.

[ She would tilde if she could, verbally. ]

[just tilde with facial expressions like Isa does.]

Don't ask me how your brain works, I gave up on understanding it ages ago. I think it's more that you've always liked plaid, so it stands to reason all the others around here would too.

[ Her facial expressions are so much less subtle though. Heart right on her sleeve and all that. ]

Guess so. Not like most of us Axels had a lot of room to be expressive until recently.

[ Dumb coats. ]

And who am I gonna ask if not you?

[god. fuckin. go canon update already, not that it'll be great once she's back, without the kids here as well. Isa's already turning her attention back to the array of monochrome shirts and sweaters in front of her.]

Riku, maybe, but I doubt she'd want to understand your brain.

Yeah, no, that's fair. She's got enough, weirder me-types to understand.

[ Like Red, and Ninxel and his weird hyena thing she understands sort of but kind of doesn't want to.

Yikes™, imagine Isa meeting Axel in a moment of gold eyes. ]

So are you gonna model for me when we get back? Oh, you need sleep clothes.

[she'd powerbomb him into the dirt and then they'd have lunch.]

I do, and sure. Have you seen any?

[oh but there's jewelry nearby, which also isn't usually her style, but there's something specific that she's noticed which is pulling her away from clothes. that crescent moon hairstick thing i used in the image for her fanmix is there too, this closet clearly knows what's up.]

[ Pre-moon Riku, Ninxel, and Isa at a steak house? y/n?

Lea is already starting to say no and looking around, but she's distracted by how Isa gets distracted, and stops moving away to watch her. Oh. ]

Oh. This place knows it's you.

[please. Isa might not be able to pack away the meat like those two can but she'd certainly try. her face has probably gone all soft and pleased, which i'm sure Lea's seen before but probably not in a long time, unless it was earlier today or last night. she picks up the earrings, which go immediately into her pocket for safe-keeping, and examines the hairstick curiously before realizing what it's for and stashing it as well. gonna play dressup when they get home, and it'll be great.]

I wonder if it'll always have things like this, if I come back later.

It might.

[ She'll wander over this way in search of something appropriate for sleeping, and also because seeing Isa like that made she really happy and kind of teary and she doesn't want to get Emotional when they're trying to have a relaxing not-shopping session. ]

Might as well take everything you want now, though.

[dork. <3 she scoops up a couple of other bits of jewelry, on that note, because fuck it, and is about to get back to clothing when she spots something that is definitely leaving with her and which she'll give to Lea at some point after they get home, probably. now back to sweaters, and boring stuff like workout clothes and undies.]

I guess. This still feels weird, just taking stuff.

Feels like stealing, right? But it's a public closet. Free game.

[ Gonna toss these pjs over her shoulder, oblivious to whatever Isa is doing. ~~Workout clothes? Be still my lesbian heart.~~

She stops to scratch the back of her head, actually. ]

We probably should've grabbed a bag.

[stoooop, those are adorable and she already loves them. now she feels bad that she hasn't found anything super amazing and perfect for Lea besides this one thing. ~~it's honestly just more leggings and a sports bra, it's not very exciting.~~]

Probably. I can carry stuff if your stick arms are getting tired.

[ Rude af. ]

Are you gonna carry me when my stick legs get tired?

[ Are we just gonna spend the next two weeks being weird and also carrying each other places? She'll grab a couple more nondescript pj lounging outfits for comfort, because it's been established that Lea loves staying in bed all day. ]

Maybe, if you ask nicely.

[sure would pass time until Lea suddenly vanishes into the ether, so why not. oh god, here, Isa just found the best thing, i couldn't personally find anything right but she just found a flannel shirt actually cut for a lady with hips, in almost the same atrocious yellow plaid as Lea's dumb scarf she had. she's gonna just. come over and drape it over Lea's head.]

What, you wouldn't do it out of the goodness of your he— huh?

[ What is this material weighing down my mass of hair? She reaches up for it and pulls the shirt into view, and then her eyes light up like in that one excited manga icon ninxel has. ]

Ohhh. Wait, this isn't your style. Is this for me?

I look like death in that color, so yes.

[that's a good face, Isa likes that one, and it makes her feel all mushy inside. it makes her want to hug Lea, or possibly smooch her again, but no, there's plenty of time for that to happen later.]

[ What a big dweeb, she's so excited. Isa gave her a THING. A cool thing!! She pulls it off her head completely and opens it up more, and it obviously has her seal of approval. Onto the plaid shoulder you go. ]

Look how much cooler I'll be with you supporting my wardrobe.

...sure, go with "cool", that works.

[what a big dumb idiot, god. no, she likes the current look with the boots, it's good. and she's pretty much finished here, if Lea is; she's got plenty to work with for now, and if she ends up needing more she'll just find another closet.]

What. What word would you use then?

[ Suave? Fashionable? Gay? Psh. No, she's got some pjs and her own new shirts!! so she's pretty good to go whenever. ]

Loud, mostly. I'm through here if you are, this is plenty for now.

[Isa's got a full armload of clothes and pockets full of jewelry. shall they?]

Alright. Not like you can't come back for more.

[ Lea waits for Isa to start moving first, but she will follow. ]

[off they go then, and we can fade out right here if you want, and if you've got that post ready to go for canon updating. presumably once they're home from this, Isa will look fantastic in all her new stuff, she'll call Lea a dork over the tanktop but will also adore it, and at some point she'll put this on Lea. you are my sunshine, something about 8 + 2 that Lea can interpret as she chooses, etc.]
