Universes Unite [Rebooted!] discussion

A small bookstore connected to the cafe. This and the cafe it is connected to were the only buildings untouched by Giratina's attack.

Momo ran inside the bookstore and placed the cake box on a nearby end table, gasping at the sights inside. "It's so beautiful! And it smells good too! I've never seen so many books in one place before!"

Bolt and Blaze made faces as they followed her. They weren't big on books or reading, they could just never understand the appeal. But some people did, the twins jusy didnt get why.

"What's your favorite thing to read?" Momo asked in a distracted ton, since she was already picking out a giant stack of books. "I wish I brought a bag with me!"

"We don't," the twins shrugged. Blaze picked up the cake she's put down and they both began following her around to see what books she was looking at, though it didn't really matter to them.

"Not read?!"She gasped in surprise. The idea of anyone not reading was foreign to her. "Well then, it's time you two started!"

They both groaned. "Mom doesn't! Why do we have to?!" Blaze asked.
"We'll just marry young and have our wives read to us!" Bolt declared. But once he said it, they both made faces. Marriage? No thank you! "We can just do without!" He amended.

She started laughing so hard she dropped her books and snorted, covering up her mouth. "I'm sorry! But you two are just really funny! It's just like being back home!"

They hadn't meant it to be funny, but who cared? They would take the compliment graciously. "Is that a good thing?" Blaze asked, referring to her saying it was like home.

She nodded eagerly. "Uh-huh! I miss my home a lot since I'm the only Soul Reaper here, but you two remind me of some of my best friends, so it helps me be less homesick!"

"Well that sounds pretty good," Blaze said.
"I thought it might be a bad thing to remind you in case they were dead," Bolt shrugged. "But if they're not, then we're glad we can remind you!"

"I mean, technically, they ARE dead. That's what a Soul Reaper is. But they're perfectly fine, they're just not here. So I'm happy I can be your friend," She smiled nicely.

"Oh, well, we're technically dead too, so no big deal!" Bolt said and smiled.
"Yeah, that's kinda weird," Blaze thought out loud. "I mean, think about it. We've been dead.....since we were born. That shouldn't seem logical."
"But it does..... huh," Bolt said, considering it as well. How strange.

"I wasn't born this way, I was born a human, then I died! I think," She thought about it. "I suppose that's what happened, but everything's really fuzzy. I do know I died June 3rd, 1901.....or should I say, born as a Soul Reaper?"

The twins shrugged. They didn't know how her species worked. Though a bit interested, they didn't have the patience or attention span to listen and learn about her species.

Momo shrugged as well and picked up her stack of books again and carried them to the counter. "How much for all of this? And a bag?" She asked nicely.

The man standing there rung up all the books and told her to pick one of the bags on the rack beside the counter as he rang that up too.

She picked the bag that was a bright pink with a flower on it and smiled. "This one! How much?" She briefly forgot she didn't bring any money with her.

"Ninety-eight credits for all of it," he told her, starting to put the books into the bag she'd chosen.

She checked her pockets-all of her pockets, and blushed. "Oh no! I forgot to bring money...I didn't think I'd be buying anything today! I'm sorry, I can't take this,"

The twins felt bad for that and went up to the counter, leaning their elbows on it. "You see, she's a new student of the Universe School," Blaze told the man working.
"You can bill the school now and it'll just come out of her allowance later," Bolt said. "No big deal."
"Yeah, you'll get your money soon enough," Blaze added. "And when has the school ever gone back on their word?"

The worker man looked at them and considered it. "Alright, I'll bill the school. Your friend can take the books."

"Are you sure that's alright? The headmistress won't get upset or anything?" She knew how annoyed Soul Reaper captains got when their Squad members charged things they bought to their accounts. "I'll pay for it myself when I get some money,"

((My fairies haven't been sorted yet! Where should they be?))

((I did sort them actually. I have to check where though. Then I can give them dorms, if you want?))

"Pssh, Grandma won't care," Bolt said.
"Yeah, and besides, it's basically your money anyway," Blaze said.
"Everyone gets an allowance. Three hundred credits a month," Bolt added.
"For whatever we feel like spending it on!" Blaze declared.

"I need your name, please?" the worker said to Momo.

"Oh," She said in surprise, but still didn't like the idea. She then looked back at the shopkeeper. "Hinamori Momo. Momo's my first name, and Hinamori's my last," She explained in a professional tone.

((Sure!))

((I think I put them in different houses, Coco in Marauders, Caramel in Niji? I believe))

The twins shrugged. They could tell she wasn't keen on the idea, but she just hadn't gotten her allowance yet, so they didn't think it was a big deal.

The man nodded and wrote her name down on a bill. "I'll deliver this to the headmistress," he mumbled to himself. "You're good to go."

"Alright! Thank you!" Momo picked up the bag and walked out with the twins. "We should probably go back to school, I'm worn-out,"

((What personalty type is Marauders for again? Sly and sneaky?))

"Alright, where's your dorm?" the twins asked, walking with her. They felt the need to walk a girl to her dorm, it was how they'd been raised. "We can take you there."

((Marauders are bold and heroic or something. I chose it because of her attitude towards saving and protecting her sister.))

"My dorm is in Nji. I share one with Tess!" She smiled. "I guess you two share a dorm room?"

((Sounds about right, but I can't find their dorm rooms on the topics))

Their eyes widened. "You share a dorm with Tess?!" they asked eagerly. They'd been kinda sorta watching her ever since the party. It was cute, really, how their crush almost bordered on obsessive. They didn't answer her question because they were too focused on the other thing.

((That's because I haven't put them in dorms yet >.< I sorted them, but I was too busy/lazy to actually put them in dorms.))

She blushed and nodded. "Yup! We were supposed to go shopping for paints and everything but then the attack happened," She explained. "Why? Do you have a crush on her or something?"

((Found Coco's but not Caramel's))

((Caramel is in a dorm with someone else, I'm pretty sure. Can't remember the name.))

The twins both blushed bright red at her question and looked down, not wanting to admit it. They had both developed huge crushes on the girl who hadn't been afraid of their spiders, but never got up the nerve to go near her ever since then.

((I see now, she shares with Jewel, whoever that is))

Momo giggled at this and continued walking. "You DO have a crush on her! How cute! I should tell her,"

((It's Cynthia's character, I think.))

"No don't tell her!" The twins simultaneously shouted, their cheeks turning even brighter red. They were super embarrassed and absolutely afraid of rejection, so they didn't want Tess to know.

"Are you sure? I know her, and she'd find it adorable, not gross or anything! She actually talked about you two a while ago and said it was gross how you dumped spiders onto her, but she still wanted to get to know you," She grinned. "Hang out with her!"

((My next character should be a teacher. What is available for her to teach? ))

"She thought the spiders were gross?" Bolt asked.
"But we thought she was just disappointed they weren't real," Blaze said.
"If she thought they were gross, why would she want to hang out with us? Bolt asked, not understanding.
"Yeah, she probably doesn't want to hang with us...." Blaze said, pretty mopey now.

((Lets see, I think we need a defense teacher, a culinary teacher, a strategy teacher (maybe, I don't remember), and a potions teacher. Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.))

"No, no, she does!" She reassured them. "She thinks you guys are really cool! I can see you two....er, three....getting along perfectly because of your personalities!" She smiled.

((A defense teacher would be good))

The two brightened up a little, but they still weren't sure if they wanted her to say something.
"Alright, you can tell her...." Blaze said carefully.
"But we don't want to be around when you do it!" Bolt quickly added.

((Alright, I'll make a note of that.

I think it's a little funny that neither boys realize that they have crushes on the same girl....and only one of them could have her in the end.))

"Alright, noted. Now come on, let's go back to the school," She slung her bag of books over her shoulder and grabbed her cake box and walked out.

(( And that's why threesomes were invented ))

The boys followed her, half hoping they saw Tess, and half hoping not.

--End--

Meira was on a forced break from her bakery, one she wasn't too happy about. She'd been experimenting with a new cake flavor, only to be kicked out for having worked there the whole night when she'd been told not to.

Tanner was in the bookstore, getting a new book that he needed for his science class at school. "Here it is!" He grinned once he found it and took it off the shelf, looking at the cover.

((We have a tornado watch!!! DXXXX))

Meira jumped, hearing someone nearby. The voice sounded awfully familiar, so she looked to see who it might be. She went through the shelves until she finally found him, then smiled. "Tanner, hi!" she cheered.

((Oh no!))

"Hi Meira!" He greeted nicely, waving at her. "Weird running into you here. What are you doing here?"

((This is exactly what I was afraid of! I don't know what to do now!))

"Taking a break," she pouted. "One of my employees scolded me for working at night and made me leave."

((Just calm down, I'm sure you'll be fine.))

He giggled. "You take work really seriously though. Sometimes I forget you're only a year younger than me! You should be more easy-going!"

((I told someone about it and they sent me this: http://www.lovethispic.com/uploaded_i... ))

"Oh I don't really care about work, I just care about baking," she answered. "I was working on this super awesome flavor combination, but kept falling asleep. So I tried this morning and was kicked out."

((That was nice of them.))

"Sounds like me with my candy. I'm always perfecting great candy flavors! But my family helps me out in the store, so I don't really have that problem," He shrugged.

((I remember once a funnel cloud passed over the house a few months ago and it was really scary and intense but it was gone in about five minutes and after it was gone the sun was shining brightly and there was even a big rainbow out right in front of our house.

I couldn't believe something so destructive could turn into something so beautiful))

She shrugged a bit. "I don't really have that help," she said. "But it's okay. It's just how I roll!"

((It probably looked increasingly so since you had so much relief.))

Tanner laughed. "How about I get you a book too? We're in the same class at school after all. Do you have this?" He held up his science textbook.

((I remember looking outside and just seeing nothing but grey and rain and everything being blown around in the wind from how strong it was, so I hid in the closet.

Mom came home a few minutes afterwards and wanted to know what I was doing, and when I tried to explain to her there was a funnel cloud outside, she told me to look outside and I could've sworn I stepped into the Garden of Eden or something.

It just cleared away SO FAST it was like the storm was never even there))

Meira gasped a little. "We need new textbooks? How did I not know that! No, I don't have that."

((I bet it was gorgeous.))
