Heeeeeh?! That's right!

[HOW DID HE KNOW?? Amazing...]

...I wonder if I forgot where I put the key...

[at_heart]

[ oh no ] [ Lupine, keep it together ]

[at_heart]

No, you definitely didn't, it's just what happens when people show up here. Your line's flashing on the screen like that because it wants you to pick a 'position' color.

[ Beat. ]

Make sure it's something you like, okay? Once it opens, the clothes in your closet are gonna be mostly green, white, and whatever color you pick out.

[wonderofwonders]

[WAO...]

That's like-- that's like magic!

[at_heart]

Heh. Maybe? There's definitely some magic at work around this place.

[ Anyway, he'll move over to the 'TV' and do some more helpful pointing at things on its screen. ]

Like I said, this one's me. As you can see, my color here's black, although... well, that's not a big part of my outfit right now, but this is actually an outfit from a different unit's section of the department store. We can go over how that works later.

I picked black when I was new for a lot of reasons — thinking it'd go with anything, that it'd be easy to keep looking okay... but I've got a couple memories back now, and I wore a lot of black back home, too, so maybe it also just felt right.

[wonderofwonders]

...That's amazing-- I wonder if I can figure out what color I liked to wear best too.

[She looks at the selection screen-- at all the colors. She squints, nose wrinkled in deep concentration.]

Hmm.... mmm...

[Her eyes do immediately go to the brighter colors. But she goes back and forth a lot... before finally landing on a vivid orange one.]

Maybe... this one?

[at_heart]

[ ...Boy, they sure did wind up with a lot of dark colors, didn't they. Lupine blinks, then turns a smile on her. ]

If you like it, it's perfect.

[ Beat. ]

And you probably can — as you buy memories back, you'll start picking up on things. Uh... that part's gonna be a bit of a long story, but I'll tell you everything I can?

[wonderofwonders]

I do like it. And... I think it'll look nice with the green we already have.

[Because making sure they look good together is important too.]

Oh yeah-- but it'll be a while before I can do anything like that, won't it? I don't have any money and I don't remember anything about a salary either...

[at_heart]

Yeah? [ He doesn't know anything about colors, really, but he angles a green sleeve in front of the 'TV' for comparison. ] I think so, too.

[ As for that, well.......... ]

We've got some shared points saved up, actually, for newbies. You should be able to access our 'bank' on your phone and use some of 'em.

[ ...thanks, Rene. ]

[wonderofwonders]

[Can't believe I'm benefiting from myself indirectly]

...really?

[On one hand, she doesn't want to take too much but... it could come in handy.]

Mmmm... okay. But! I promise I'll repay it and then some!!

[at_heart]

[ ♥ ]

Hah, that's not how it works. When you've got more points than you need, that's when you start donating to the fund. I'm putting in a thousand points every week or so.

[ every ~10 days, or once an OOC month ]

Plus, you having all your powers? That's just good for everyone. You'll need them for some games.

[wonderofwonders]

[Wow!!! But as she listens, she gets it.]

Mrrrrr... well if it's good for everyone...

[She can't argue with that.]

How much do I need to get them all?

1/

[at_heart]

They're a thousand each.

[ Grin! ]

And it definitely is. Plus, some of our powers? Pretty cool.

[ Demonstratively, he plucks a sprig of lupine out of his hair, and holds it gingerly at her eye level. Concentrates for a few seconds, and then— ]

[at_heart]

[ —the little sprig comes to life in his hand, its stem extending, more buds blooming, to coil around his wrist like a very pretty snake. ]

See?

[wonderofwonders]

[You would think she was watching the most exciting thing ever; her eyes are SPARKLING!]

I wanna be able to do that too!!

[at_heart]

[ He messed around with it a little during the Valentine's Day live, and made a few pieces like this: the stem wending, wending, wending, until he essentially has on living hand jewelry. ]

Right? This one's Rapunzel.

[ Thinking... ]

Wanna buy 'em up, then come check out our garden with me and get in some practice?

[wonderofwonders]

[Blinks.

She checks the app like he said and... it's true, she can see the points there-- and there are enough. But it's still hard not to think that it feels like a lot.]

...all of them?

[at_heart]

[ Tiniest lipquirk. This baby... ]

It's not as much as it seems like, I promise.

[wonderofwonders]

Well... if you're sure. Then--

[She pulls out her phone to access the shop, making the necessary purchases for all six of her unit abilities.]

...is that it? That was easy...!

[VIRTUAL SHOPPING. SO CONVENIENT!!]

[at_heart]

I'm very sure.

[ Grinning. ]

And yeah, buying things off your phone is definitely the easiest option. With most of the stuff we can order, though, there's a delivery fee to keep in mind, so you might wanna go to an actual store instead. There's a train you can take. We've also got horses...

[ Leading the way out into the garden, he adds somewhat carelessly over his shoulder, ]

Oh, and I've got a motorcycle, I guess.

[wonderofwonders]

[It's good advice! And she does actually take it all in. But--]

We've got horses?!

And a MOTORCYCLE?!!

[at_heart]

[ Tiniest pause, and then he pushes open the door to the garden. ]

I'll show you the horses first. They're through here.

[wonderofwonders]

[Without skipping a beat--]

Okay! [Into the garden~] What are their names?

1/

[at_heart]

[ names ] [ names? ] [ ...the horses have names? Should the horses have names???? ]

[at_heart]

Well.

[ slooooowly ]

I mean, I haven't asked them.
