She hated these sort of days—you know, the windy, hair-blowing days. The ones where you could tell that it was about to rain without even checking the weather channel. Those days were just a bother to live through. Not only that, they were horribly boring. Everyone would usually be inside, attempting to avoid the harsh winds and the inevitable buckets of rain. What was the fun in that? Honestly, Naru could see the logic behind such actions, but...honestly, she had assumed that the people of Tokyo were a lot gutsier than that. Of course there were a few who would be out and about, ignoring the weather or the complications such weather would cause. It was no surprise that Naru was one of them. Staying at home, eating chocolate pudding in her pajamas was a boring, unexciting way to live through the day. While it was a bother—she had been reluctant to even step out the door—Naru refused to let herself sit in her run-down apartment doing absolutely nothing.
If entertainment wouldn't come to her, she would come to it.
Naru supposed that she should of worn better clothes, though. It was a bit of an odd sight to find a young woman outside in her pajamas, especially in Akihabara. Not that Naru minded, all that much. Mind you, she wasn't attempting to grab attention. No, no, no. Her thoughts before stepping outside had been something along the lines of, "screw it, people have seen stranger". Which Naru was simply positive they had. Besides, if they had the time to stare at another person for their choice of clothes, they had enough time to do something productive. Like learning how to play nice, yet stay plenty amusing at the same time. Which, amazingly, many people had trouble being taught. Then again, it was a bit difficult, maybe even somewhat challenging, to play by the rules and still get the same end result. Oh well. That wasn't even her problem, anyways.
Her real problem was to get this giraffe woman off her back. Honestly, usually only a few hints would suffice; usually, a normal person would have gotten the message by now. Obviously, this person was neither normal or intelligent, so Naru was, much to her chagrin, forced into a situation she wished she had been able to avoid. "No, I will not go out with you, and yes, you need to stop reading so much shoujo manga," Naru said, a strained, yet pleasant, smile remaining on her face. After a moment of contemplative silence on her part and confusion on the other's, Naru sighed uneasily. "Or perhaps it was yuri manga? Either way, you should go now," Naru paused, only to making a shooing motion with her hands, "Go on!" Fortunately, her impatience and irritation was all but clear now. Unfortunately, the giraffe woman had yet to leave the vicinity.
At that moment, Naru finally took the time to register the sheer amount of muscle on the woman's arm. After a moment of silence, Naru began to think that maybe, perhaps, she should of taken into consideration the build of the woman first before saying a single sentence. Ah, another reason to detest these sort of days. They certainly succeeded in making her regret ever coming out of her run-down apartment in the first place. "Ah, that is, if you feel like going?" Silence, again. How unnerving. At least say something, Naru wanted to say, but refrained from doing so. She couldn't have possibly insulted the other woman into silence, could she? Clearly, the other woman was taking her mere...statements a bit too seriously. Clearly.
It was at that moment that she felt the tiny droplets of rain pour down from the sky. A thankful distraction! The other woman's face had, suspiciously, become a rather dangerous shade of red. Well, dangerous for Naru, anyways. "Are you hot by any chance? The rain will definitely cool you down! Have fun!" And with that done and said, Naru raced away. Looking back, Naru suspected that the other woman would give chase. Great. At least it wasn't raining that hard as of yet. So what if the whole thing was her entire fault? So what? Naru was mature enough to realize that, and she really couldn't care any less about it. In fact, her current goal was to find shelter and get away from the giraffe woman as soon as possible. Fortunately, there were plenty of stores to seek shelter in. The only problem with that was to remain unseen while seeking shelter. She was heading down quite the long street, Naru duly noted. If she could just find a corner to turn, then—
—then what? She would hide out there? Like hell. The wind was becoming even more harsher than earlier. Oh, for fuck's sake... Glancing behind herself. Naru watched as the other woman unceremoniously trip. She supposed that there was a bit of a downside to the other woman's strengths. Oh well, this gave her a more advantageous position! It wouldn't be like her to let this chance go unnoticed. So, without much thought, Naru rushed inside of a store just as another person had entered it. Irately, Naru glanced at them before squeezing her way in before them. Unfortunately, yet a bit laughably, Naru, herself, unceremoniously tripped. Feeling the weight of her body hit the solid ground was not a pleasant feeling.
Grunting as she pushed herself up, Naru took the time to look about the store. Much to her surprise, it was filled with...costumes. Everywhere, there were costumes reminiscent of those from various animes and manga. Well. Naru could definitely realize how useful such a store could be to her, considering that she was still stuck in her wet pajamas. Still on the ground, Naru absentmindedly felt the silky fabric of a nearby costume. Not bad. Okay. So she had landed herself in a cosplay store. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing. At least she was safe and away from both the rain and the giraffe woman. Perhaps she would even get a change of clothes out of this! Not bad at all. Twisting her hair to get the water out, a pleasant smile appeared on her face.
Clearly this wasn't going to end well.
