Normally at this time of year I would be in a much warmer country, sipping cocktails on the beach and working on my tan. Work and responsibilities being the furthest thing from my mind. Sounds perfect, doesn't it?
[ There's a lilt of nostalgia in her voice. ]
Unfortunately, my travel plans are a little restricted in this universe or alternative dimension- whatever you want to call it. If anyone has any suggestions of where I can go, please leave them here. Serious answers, please. I don't want to end up somewhere dull and boring. Least of all, cold.
I won't be taking a holiday until early next month so don't fret, my shop will be still be open as normal. It's called Herodotus Antiques, located in Maurtia Falls, for those of you who don't know already.
[ Blatant advertising? Not exactly beneath her. ]
I strongly encourage you to come and take a look. Not tonight though. I'm heading out.
[ And click! ]

The residents befit a woman of your stature.
[And get caught midst a hurricane or something, please.]

You sound awfully sure about that, Crane.
Considering the fact that you don't really know me.
no subject
[Ah. Such a fascinating thing.]
no subject
[It's not exactly a lie, but it isn't the whole truth either. She doesn't want Crane of all people to analyse her.]
The wealth seeking part is certainly true. And while I like sex, I don't need it all of the time.

How are you, Mabel?
no subject
[She gives Bela a thumbs up.]
I'm okay! Things're kinda busy but it's almost the holidays so that's normal, right?
no subject
[Okay, so she's a little shameless.]
Yeah, that's normal. I'm sure you must be excited about them though, right? With the celebrations and the decorations. That sort of thing.

Is that a personal invite or more general?
no subject
[She puts on her extra posh voice for that. It's a nice day and she's feeling bold.]
Where do you usually jet off to, back home?
no subject
[Bela likes bold.]
The Bahamas. Or Jamaica. But southern France is lovely too.

And I think I've walked past your store a few times while wandering around Maurtia Falls. Just window-shopping. [ Honest! ] I have to say -- nice collection you've got going on in there.
(( ooc; I know I promised cr forever ago and failed but here we are!! ))
voice
Well, thanks. I'm rather proud of how the shop looks and the stock I have. You should consider coming in the next time you pass by. Maybe I'll give you a discount as a new customer.
(( it's never too late! we have it now :3))
permavoice
[ hahaha buying things ] Maybe I will. It can't hurt, right? Although, I'm actually more interested in your procurement of the collection. Antique road shows, thrift shops...?
no subject
You're not the only person who has asked me how I acquire the items for my shop. Antiques aren't exactly common here.
[ But was there a particular reason why she was asking or was it genuine curiosity? ]
There was a quite a bit of inventory when I first got the shop, but I've sourced them from other places.
Why do you ask?

not that he's wrong]But more importantly, I live in Maurtia Falls, too! Call me Maou. It's nice to phone-meet you.

Ah, a neighbour then. My name is Bela. Nice to phone-meet you too, Maou. How long have you been here for?

I dropped into this world about a month ago, an' I gotta say. America and Japan are like day an' night. The Japanese hardly even look up when the sky's on fire. [he talks like he's fond of Japan, but he definitely thinks their lack of survival skills is insane]

That does sound quite perfect. Any interesting suggestion thus far?

Florida, Texas, California. Even De Chima. I'd call that interesting.
[ A pause. ]
Why, you thinking of taking a holiday yourself?
