First Chime - [Action]

[forgetfulchime]

[Leaning up against the fountain in the plaza is a girl, a new feather if you will, which is pretty obvious by looking at the white dress she has on.  There's no telling how long she's been out here exactly, but it's been a while considering the fact that she's soaked.  Her blonde hair is sticking to her cheeks and neck, her white wings are slightly darker and heavier from the water and her dress is practically clinging onto her thin legs.

And what's strange is...

...She doesn't appear to be moving.  She doesn't stir nor does she open her eyes.  No matter how long you may stare at her, she just stays like that; sitting on the cold ground, holding something loosely in her hands while the rain pelts her continuously.  Is she sleeping?]

It's all free? That's... pretty nice actually. [It'll make getting dry clothes easier!]

[catus_carnival]

Yeah! So don't worry about it.

[forgetfulchime]

Which is the clothes store, then?

[catus_carnival]

Tao can show you!

[She leaps up a little and motions with a paw for Rhyme to follow her.]

[forgetfulchime]

[Oh! Well it looks like it's time to get up off the cold ground. So she's going to slowly hoist herself up, rubbing her shoulder once she's on her feet and nods to Tao.

Lead the way!]

[catus_carnival]

[Lead the way she does! Tao's a bit fast, but that's probably because she's hyperactive like always, or her animalistic nature.]

[forgetfulchime]

[Aaaaah Tao wait for Rhyme! Though she doesn't make an attempt to run and keep up with the other. Instead, she giggles and follows right after her, picking at her dress a little when it tries to stick to her legs]

[catus_carnival]

[Tao notices that she's leaving her a bit behind, so she slows down enough for her to catch up.]

[forgetfulchime]

[Oh how nice of you, Tao. Rhyme will try to speed up to catch back up to her now]

[catus_carnival]

[And after a while of that, they should arrive at the clothing store right about now. Or at least nearby.]

Meow!

[forgetfulchime]

Is this it, Tao? [She finds all this kitty behavior of hers cute]

[catus_carnival]

That's right.

[And she'll show her the way in, at that.]

[forgetfulchime]

[And so she will go inside, holding the door open for Tao]

Coming?

[catus_carnival]

[She looks at the store.

Looks back at the rain.

Looks back at the store.]

Yeah!

[And she follows Rhyme.]

[forgetfulchime]

[And so she'll just close the door behind her]

Say Tao, what kind of world are you from?

[catus_carnival]

Uh...

[Wait, she can do this! She can remember her lessons!...okay, maybe not. But at least she can remember some.]

Boobie Lady and I lived in Kaguzuchi, which is a...heer-ark-e-cal...city. There's a lot of those! But Tao's village is on the ground, while everyone else lives high up there.

[forgetfulchime]

...Boobie Lady? [Saying that out loud makes her face turn red a little. How can she give a nickname like that to someone oiaerhgoaiehg]

S-So they live up in the sky?

[catus_carnival]

[Meanwhile, Tao feels no shame whatsoever.]

In the mountains, meow!

[forgetfulchime]

Oh! That makes much more sense. [Giggling to herself, a little embarrassed]

How come you don't live up there with them?

[catus_carnival]

We've always lived on the ground.

[It makes sense to her. Can't move an entire village up a mountain.]

[forgetfulchime]

So you've never lived with them? Or vice versa? How did you meet them?

[catus_carnival]

...

...

I got lost.

[Sheepish look here. Litchi visited them but...that was about it.]

[forgetfulchime]

[She giggles a little] Well that's one way to meet someone!

[catus_carnival]

Tao met a bunch of people.

[forgetfulchime]

The people who lived up in the mountains?
