@Everyone, but centered towards Mirage

Skyrah just stood there near Mirage looking at everyone do there thing. She didn't seem to show any feeling one way or another towards everything. Though a small grumble was heard from her when Mirage mentioned her not having any civilian clothing. "I had plenty when I was little. I see no need for them now." She said as if in rebuttal to Mirage's statement.

Xavier was holding Sillia's hand watching Aravae and thirteen, He felt a little pressure in his hand, and pulled Sillia closer to him, What's the matter Kitten?

He noticed that Aravae was head over heals for Thirteen. Knowing that Sillia had seen what he had he said to her Sweetheart, this is what you wanted remember?

Lets leave them alone and go see if anybody would like to go watch a movie with us.

In reply to Skyrah Valentine (msg # 11):

Kaarle overhears Skyrah's comment and decides the chime in.  "You should have at least one civilian outfit, if for not other reason then to wear when off duty so folks don't fuck with ya" he said hoping to put it in a perspective she would appreciate.

 Michelle understood where the other stood with the lack of need for extras. Infact her own were very personal and something she only just shared with Kaarle. She smiled at Kaarle suggestion. "Skyrah we all need civilian clothing. Thirteen will need some outfits as well. you should join with me in dance."

  Hearing Xavier talking to Sillia brought a giigle from Michelle as she looked and thought about what was said. It was true she clung to Thirteen much like she did with Kaarle. "Aravae I will pay for your classes if you would like to learn As well."

  With that she stands her full height, still holding Kaarle's Hand. A she addressed the group. "This is suppose to be a group activity today. For team building exercises."

@Michelle, @Skyrah

Mirage grins, nods at Kaarle, then takes Skyrah by the hand.

"Michelle, it's shopping time.  My um.. mother said, soldiers need to know what it is they fight for.  Let's help Skyrah find out more about that."

  Aravae Lets go of Thirteens hand embarrassed tear filled eyes. She stammers over her words as she tries to apologize and steps away from him from the shame she felt "I... I... I... m... mm... sorry."

   She just nods at Michelles offer. Now that she would need someplace where she knew Thirteen would not go without being ordered.


  Cerise - There is plenty of restaurants and there are several conference rooms which can be made available to you and your team.

   There are two jewelry stores on the Ship. One can make custom jewelry if you have something in mind.

  Michelle smiles at Kaarle. "Ill be back in a bit Sir. If that is ok?" With that she grabs. Aravae's hand and looks at Imphigenia, Miriana and toward Cerise "Are you ladies comming?"

 And she follows Mirage and Skyrah.

Thirteen looked towards Michelle, then Avarae, then Michelle again. It seemed like they were speaking English but he was not entirely sure of that as he felt even more lost.

"It's alright. Don't worry." He did not quiet understand why she reacted like that but if the words made her feel better then he would say them. As Avarae got father, however, he reached for his head and closed his eyes.

OOC: For the exercises, I was hoping for somewhere more like a park or public square, but lightly trafficked; a conference room is too sterile and flat, plus might be a little too restrictive space-wise.

Cerise replies to Michelle; "I will catch up in a bit; I need to make some arrangements first. Which dance studio will you be at?"

Cerise makes a reservation for everyone for lunch at a pizza restaurant; she knows it is a human favorite, and that it is something many people consume when off duty.

She also makes note of the best place she finds, as well as a couple backups, where the crew can do a little bit of trust work.

She holds off on the jewelry stores for now, and heads to the dance studio, to see what has got Michelle so excited.

In reply to Michelle Grey (msg # 17):

He nodded since technically this is being treated as a team building exercise as long as she was with team members this shouldn't be an issue.  He does make a point to keep an eye on where they were going so he can be there in a moments notice if necessary. B,

@ Cerise - There is a small park in the center of the area next to the mall. With three small trees and grass. Which would allow your team the room needed.

  The Dance studio is a mix of Martial arts and dance studio. Located on the ground floor. When you arrive there are two instructors, A man and woman in their mid thirties. She is also a seamstress who make all the classes uniforms and costumes. The Belly dance class is twice a week friday and monday last class of the day.

  Aravae offered no resistance as she was taken with the group as she fought back her tears.

Once she caught up with the shopping girls, Cerise noticed that Aravae was not being her usual cheerful self, but Cerise's priority was to join in with her teammates. As they browsed some of the shops, Cerise found a moment where Aravae was not in the midst of others, and approached her; "You seem a bit down, Aravae. Did something happen?"

 She shot a look at Xavier as she shakes her head. She walks over to thirteen. "Go with her, if you like. or hang out with the boys and ask them what just happen" She looks back to Xavier. "I'm gonna go with the girls and get something for later."

  With that she joins the others and goes to the clothing stores.

GM - The belly dancing class was for storyline and something she was signing up for after her punishment. The costume will take a couple weeks. to have made. She is restricted to group activities. the girls all went shopping.

Thirteen looks towards Sillia and watches as she leaves. As she does he sighs.

"It's gone again..." he whispers to himself. He looks towards Xavier.

"So... what is happening?"

He couldn't come up with something to do so he figured he would just do one of Sillia's recommendations.

  @ Cerise - Aravae looks at Cerise; "I cannot believe he told everyone I like Thirteen, like That. Why would he do that?" Eyes filled with tears again.

Xavier not sure how to handle such a situation as what had just transpired,
watches as Sillia and Aravae go off and do their own thing. Did I say something wrong?

He looks at thirteen, and says Hey kid lets go get you some cloths so you'll blend in more with the civilians around here, then play a couple games.

Silas lost for a brief second finds Michelle and kaarle, he walks up to them.
 Ma'am, Sir I seem to be at a disadvantage, I would like to look more like a civilian  when Im off duty, or here  at this place. would one of you be willing to help me out?

OCC: this was before the squad split guys and girls

"I don't know." Thirteen replied to Xavier's question. "I don't know what is happening in general."

He followed Xavier. "I am not certain why everyone is so concerned about clothing but alright."

Mirage laughs.  "Come along with the girls then, Silas.  Bonding over shopping time."

Mirage will lead to the closest clothing store that looks cute.

  Sillia laughs at her little sisters statement; "Thats just how boys are Aravae. They don't know when they need to remain quiet."

  She picks up a few shirts and a couple cute skirts that she thinks will be a good match and walks over to Aravae and Cerise. Here try these on. These should help Thirteen take a little more interest.

  Lieutenant Cerise; "Do you have any advise for young love?"

Thanks Mirage, I accept, and no offense to the way Xavier is dressing, but please do not dress me in stuff like that. Its to flamboyant for my tastes.

Silas Follows the girls to the many, many, many shops. Hoping to get at least one good outfit.

 the largest clothing story is a Macy style, with multiple levels. there are sections for Men, Boys, preteen and younger Girls and women which dominate one complete floor with almost every style possible.

  With a little bit of a smile returning Aravae takes the clothing offered to her to the changing room.

@ Kaarle, Mirage, Michelle, etc

She grumbles again. "Alright, we will go shopping for clothes then." She obviously saw the tactical futility of continuing the debate so she surrendered.

Then she looked at Michelle. "But I will not go dancing, or take dancing lessons with you. Alright?" Her tone was flat and even, as if indirectly saying that that is not up for debate.

Then she looked at Mirage for a moment. "I know what I fight for." She said softly, it was the first time she actually showed emotion. Her tone wasn't flat, emotionless, or calculating like normal. No, when she said that line, it was full of soul, compassion.

Mirage smiles at Skyrah and nods, she pats her shoulder once.

"Maybe we can expand your horizons a little on that, Skyrah.  Remind ourselves how normal people live, and play a little ourselves at that."

She hands Skyrah a few outfits off the rack she had picked out.

"Now try these on and show us how they look!  It's your mission today, Lieutenant!"
