[attr=class,bulk] It seemed she had a lot of idle time on her hands. It bothered her and she did not it. After her meeting with Hojo, Kuja kept himself locked away. He clearly wanted no one to bother him. This left her to browse the streets of Torensten once more. She was slowly getting accustomed to its crowdedness, though she still had not acclimated fully to it. Yet, despite all the people, something seemed different than her last visit. [break][break] There seemed to be some preset markers that defined the time and place. For example, last time there had been bright decorations in shades of red and bright colors. Humans were making eyes at each other and seemed to have lost themselves to something as they broke into pairs. But this visit, the town was decorated in dark, muted colors - shades of orange, brown, and black. People were in larger groups as they jumped into new specialty stores that seemed to sell odd clothing and motifs of black creatures, skeletons, skulls, stones, beings with rotting flesh, and other oddities. These things were vaguely reminiscent of what the vessel may appear as when it stopped functioning. [break][break] Despite the dark themes, they sold what appeared to be sweets. Some store owners were already handing them out without asking for payment. The smaller humans seemed content as they stuck it in pockets and bags. [break][break] Another ‘store’ had people running out screaming and terrified. Seeing such red faces and scrambling caused Mikoto to fluff and be on edge. She took a few paces back to observe the situation with caution. Only...nothing followed them out the door and once they caught their breath, they started laughing it off and chatting normally again. [break][break] What on this planet was going on? Is this how humans coped with their mortality - by dressing up as aberrations, skeletons, and white sheets? By scaring themselves and laughing it off? By decorating in dark motifs? What was the point? [break][break] She curiously stopped at a candy store. She slowly found she liked the aesthetic of candy. They could come in shapes and different textures. But not all of them tasted the same. Some were so sweet it made her stomach ache. Some so sour her tail curled. Still, the candy here now had the themes to fit with the rest of the city. Apples dipped in some substance to look like oozing skulls. There were chocolate cauldrons filled with caramel and pretzels. Cookies that looked like the heads of gimme cats. [break][break] For a small moment, she wondered if it would cheer her predecessor up to get him something to boost his mood. Didn’t Quina give her something similar. S/he told her to eat it if she felt bad. Maybe that is what she needed to do. [break][break] However, what did she bring him? She assumed he did not like some too sweet, after all he refused the cotton candy. He did not like the flowers she bought for his tail, though he enjoyed the colors. The color was easy enough to spot, but knowing the taste was less easy. Her eyes drifted to the paper sign on the door. 'Free samples for those in costume.' [break] [break] Costume? Was that the odd clothing they were now selling...how did she go about getting one?

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Halloween was Yuffie's favourite night of the year. You could throw on a moogle cloak, run out into the night, take whatever you wanted from people and egg their houses if they didn't give you it! This was not, truth be told, entirely that different from Yuffie's usual modus operandi, although the candy was usually replaced with materia, the eggs with.... well, actually, no, eggs were good, and she still wore the moogle cloak. But now she could do it with legitimacy!
Of course, it didn't take a genius to know that the equation of Yuffie + Free Candy = Yuffie on a Sugar Rush and that was not great for anybody. Running about the town, her moogle cloak/costume flowing behind her, she was eager for more, which was when her eyes were drawn to the store offering 'free samples'. She grinned. Was there any better thing than free samples? Now if only materia shops did those! She ran towards the shop, holding out her candy bag.
"Gimmegimmegimme!" she said with excitement gleaming, pushing past a girl dressed as a monkey.
Wait a minute. That wasn't a monkey costume! She just had a TAIL! Nobody was getting Yuffie's free candy without wearing a proper costume! "Hey! Can't you read?" she said to the monkey girl. "It says free samples for people in costume only! YOU don't have a costume, so quit tryin' to get MY candy." Yuffie grinned, making her way up to the store owner and holding out her bag with a big grin. "TRICK OR TREAT!" she declared with a big, toothy smile. "Aren't you a little old for this?" asked the store keeper. "I dunno, are you a little old to get NINJA'D IN THE FACE!?" Yuffie asked back, striking an overly-excited pose with her shuriken in her hand. The store keeper sighed, and just handed over a piece of candy. "Kids today," he sighed. Yuffie looked at the single piece. "One bit!? What a gip!" she whined, turning around to see the strange monkey girl still watching her.
"Hey! Monkey girl!" Yuffie moved over to get her attention, putting an arm around her and leading her away from the crowd. "Way I see it, you don't get ANY candy 'cause you're not in costume, and I only got one bit of candy, which totally sucks. Soooo.... it's like I said, trick or treat. And they didn't give us a treat. So............... wanna go egg the store with me?" she asked, grinning excitedly.
Mikoto is both annoyed and intrigued. She's learning how to feel more than one thing at once. =D Yuffie Kisaragi
[attr=class,paccent]
[attr=class,bulk] The store was full of resources and yet this human rushed into the store like they needed to grab the last of the food before they starved. Yet, Mikoto eyed her, irritated at being shoved and her shrieks. The female seemed well-nourished enough. So what put her in such a feverish frenzy? Was this just simply the mindset of all humans during this strange human season? [break][break] As if she had not already had Mikoto’s attention, the girl shouted at her. Mikoto did read it! She just didn’t understand what a costume was. It must be what the girl was wearing. Mikoto stared at this Yuffie with half opened eyes and a vacant stare. The female waved her away from the crowd and Mikoto followed. It seemed the only person taking notice to help the genome reach her goals. She gave a glance to the shopkeeper, before turning to follow the girl. [break][break] “I’m not a monkey.” She simply stated. “I’m a genome.” Apparently humans were unable to tell the difference. It must have been due to their naturally untamed genetics that their perception failed. “Why are you not happy with the resources provided with nothing asked in exchange?” It was an easily won asset. Why did she seem so unsatisfied? [break][break] “Where do I get a costume?” Now that she was closer to the other girl, Mikoto’s eyes lit up at the moogle costume. It seemed to have versatile uses, such as being sturdy enough to protect her from the reikinto sands, hide her from prying human eyes and convince humans to provide their free resources. It also would accommodate her tail and, well, staring at the pom just made her heart warm in her chest. Her tail swayed contently as she seemed taken by the hood. [break][break] Trick or treat. Is that how the people were behaving today? To trick someone or to treat someone...all at one’s discretion. Mikoto let the concept sync in. It seemed counter productive to trick those you rely on in a community, but if that was how they behave here… Well, Mikoto was still learning their customs, so she would partake. [break][break] “What does an egg have to do with a store?” Did they not just hatch over time? Were they going to place an egg down to hatch.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie had no idea what a 'G-Comb' was or why the girl was so insistent upon correcting her, but she just nodded and grinned because of course she knew what the girl was talking about, honest. "Right, right, yeah, a G-Comb, that's what I said," she nodded quickly, with her usual energetic enthusiasm and absolutely no clue that she was saying 'genome' completely wrong. "Resources? What are you talkin' about? I don't want resources. I want candy!" she declared, holding out her bag to show how it wasn't anywhere near full enough. "It's Halloween! There's RULES! You put on a costume and you say 'trick or treat' and they give you treats, and if the treats aren't good enough, you TRICK 'EM!" she declared, thrusting her hands out with excitement. "Sooooo, since this treat sucked, we gotta trick 'em. That's the rules!" she explained, having already decided the G-Comb girl would help her out.
She asked about the costume, and Yuffie looked thoughtful. "Well, you could buy 'em from a store, but since you're helpin' me out, I just so happen to have some spare moogle cloaks. I kinda have fun throwing them off all dramatically and introducing myself but then I never get 'em back, so it doesn't hurt to have spares. C'mon! Stick with the great ninja Yuffie, and she'll have you outfitted in no time!" Yuffie practically took the G-Comb girl's hand and led her towards a nearby alleyway. "I keep spares everywhere, you never know when you're gonna need a disguise," she said, diving behind a pile of crates and pulling out a cloak similar to her own. "Ta-da!" she presented, with a big smile.
"Well, you need a trick, right? So you throw the eggs at the store, and then they smash, and then the store owner is all like, 'oh no, there's eggs all over my store'!" Yuffie explained, complete with a side-stop to do a little shopkeeper impression. "....I mean, sure it's not the best trick, but it's a classic! Plus it's easy to find eggs! Why, you got a better idea for a trick?" she asked, and she wasn't entirely being mocking, because her face was lit up with the possibility of more mischief if the girl had a good idea.
She has no idea what's happening, but she will follow along anyway. Yuffie Kisaragi
[attr=class,paccent]
[attr=class,bulk] Apparently their poor gene pool had affected this human’s hearing as well as she called her a ‘g-comb’. Mikoto had no idea what that was, nor did she bother to correct Yuffie. “Halloween?” The genome assumed this was what they were calling the reason for their current frenzy. She drew her brows together at Yuffie’s explanation.. So if one was unhappy with what was provided, then the person was allowed to trick the offender. It seemed a poor exchange, but what did she know? These were human rules and she intended to observe them. [break][break] Yuffie offered a costume to Mikoto in exchange for helping her out. Mikoto was not about to refuse these benefits. Eyes traced down to her hands as Yuffie took her by it. Someone told Mikoto that this was people trying to connect with each other - a friendly gesture. Why did this human suddenly want that after she had shoved the genome out of her way earlier? Should they not be rivaling for the same treats? [break][break] Mikoto had no reason to question why Yuffie stored spares in such a spot. “Why do you throw away cloaks to introduce yourself?” Should Mikoto be throwing off her own clothes when she introduced herself? Then again, the clothing store frowned upon her trying on clothes in the middle of the store. Maybe it was not typically acceptable. [break][break] Her eyes lit up as she took the cloak from Yuffie. Her eyes curiously studied the ninja as she tried to figure out how to put it on. Then, the cloak finally went up and over. She shook her head as the hood fell over her eyes. She pulled it back up a little so she could see. She tested her tail under the extra layers of cloth with a swish. The fabric was heavy, but loose. She decided she liked the weight of it. Contentedly she looked up at Yuffie, big-eyed and expectantly. [break][break] “No.” A shake of her head indicated that Mikoto had no ideas for tricks. “Can I get my unsatisfactory treat first?” If she was going to do this, then she best do it right. “There is a chocobo farm with eggs outside of town…” She offered a place to find eggs.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Yuffie watched as the girl put on her moogle cloak. It suited her, she decided, in the same way it suited Yuffie. Cute, but mischievous. If this whole 'getting back to her own time/world' thing didn't work out, she could stay here and start a gang of moogle trouble makers! How much fun would that be? The possibility seemed electric to Yuffie. It wasn't, despite popular opinion, that she just made trouble for the sake of it. She usually had a purpose, a goal, something she was working towards. She was a hero, even if her heroics were not, well, exactly conventional. But trapped here, in this new realm, where nothing mattered?
She could have all the fun she wanted!
"Weeeeell," she said, taking on the air of an expert when the monkey girl asked about why she should throw off her robe when introducing herself. She clutched at the imaginary lapels of her robe like she was a professor delivering a lecture. "A good introduction is all about being bold, and mysterious, and dramatic! And what's more dramatic than a mysterious, robed stranger kicking butt all over the place, who then dramatically throws away her cloak to reveal she's none other than the legendary ninja, Yuffie Kisaragi!" she proclaimed, throwing her arms into the air as she did so as if fireworks were going off behind her.
They were not.
"Or, y'know, whatever your name is," she said with a handwave. "Point is, it looks cool! And it's fun!" she beamed, apparently forgetting the professorial air she has been attempting to create. And then her eyes lit up at the girl's next suggestion. "Ohhhh! Chocobo eggs get BIG! That's a great idea!" she said with a snap of her fingers.
Wait? But she wanted a treat first? "Ohhhh, okay! But only if they give you a really crummy treat! 'cause otherwise, I hear the Spirit of Halloween comes out at midnight to take all the souls of the people who broke the sacred Halloween rules. He'll GET YA!" she threw her hands in the air, as if trying to make Mikoto jump, and made appropriate 'woooooo' ghostly noises, and then laughed to herself. "C'mon! Let's go get your candy!" she beamed, gesturing for Mikoto to follow her.
I don't know. I think Mikoto is getting the gist of Halloween. Yuffie Kisaragi
[attr=class,paccent]
[attr=class,bulk] Mikoto carefully listened to Yuffie’s drawn out explanation. Her bold eagerness and theatrics reminded her of Zidane. A person who needed to shout to make sure others knew he existed. “Bold, mysterious, and dramatic…” Mikoto echoed Yuffie, her tail swaying as she thought about it. She watched on, unimpressed with her energetic antics. “You did not do that today. Nor did they seem to recognize you...because you left your cloak on?” Mikoto looked at her own hands as Yuffie imagined her own fireworks. Was that the proper greeting - throwing your hands in the air? Mikoto raised her hands in the air, much less mimicking Yuffie. [break][break] It didn’t feel quite right to her… [break][break] Lowering her arms again, she flatly stared at Yuffie. “Yes. How should we transport the eggs?” They may be too big to throw without some tools [break][break] Mikoto shook her head. “My predecessor will be most displeased with the treat.” Everything she’s given him had been met with a mild amount of displeasure. Still, she had hoped something she found would help him get out of his mood. “...spirits don’t take souls.” Mikoto corrected her, unable to abide by this error. Wasn’t a spirit just another word for soul? Genomes ate souls. Iifa trees processed souls. Life crystals absorbed souls and later released them in its cycle. “...Spirits take vessels.” Why on earth would they need to eat a soul? [break][break] Yuffie threw her hands in the air again. However, instead of scaring Mikoto, she thought Yuffie was trying to greet her like she demonstrated before. Mikoto drew her brows together. “Is ‘woo’ how you greet someone too?” [break][break] She then turned to follow after Yuffie. Candy first. It would all be crummy. Then, give someone a chocobo egg in response.

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Wow, was this girl slow or what? She still didn't get the whole dramatic reveal thing! It was perfectly simple, wasn't it? You dramatically throw off your cloak to reveal yourself but only when it was at an appropriately DRAMATIC moment. Geez!
"You don't do it all the time!" Yuffie rolled her eyes. "Just, like, y'know, when it's SUPER dramatic!" she explained, throwing her hands in the air again as if to demonstrate by pure force of presence. "You gotta wait for the perfect moment! Like, that's ninja 101! Wait til the perfect moment, then draw as MUCH attention to yourself as possible!" Yuffie announced, before pausing, and frowning with a thought. "Like, actually, maybe they said the opposite of that, I dunno, I never listened if it wasn't about how to KICK BUTT!" she exclaimed, throwing a few air punches to demonstrate just HOW kick butt she was.
"Well yeah! Plus, they don't know me, so they wouldn't recognise me anyway. But that means if I do a big dramatic intro it'll be even more impressive 'cause then they'll ALWAYS remember me!" Yuffie explained in a rather paradoxical, useless way. "Plus, these moogle cloaks are SUPER cute, don'tcha think?" Yuffie asked, swaying a little in her cloak to show it off.
When she asked how to transport the eggs, Yuffie rolled her eyes again. "Who cares!? That's Future-Us's problem. We'll figure it out when we get there. We'll steal a basket or something! It'll be easy!" Yuffie explained with her usual levels of candy-enhanced energy. She also mentioned a predecessor being displeased with a treat but since Yuffie had no idea what she was talking about, she just nodded. "Yeah, those darned predecessors," she agreed without a clue.
Of course, when the girl stopped to correct Yuffie's story she had just made up, Yuffie paused, for a moment offended. "Y-yeah, well, this one does! He's a spirit that collects souls. Because he's.... DOUBLE SPOOKY. So there!" she explained, not wanting to change her story and instead wanting to stick to it. Even if she had just made it up and telling spooky stories was apparently not in Yuffie's pool of talents. "No! I was being a ghost! You know, woooOOOOOoooo! A ghost!" She did another impression, waving her hands around. "Ugh, forget it. C'mon, let's go get your candy," she said, gesturing for the girl to follow her towards the candy store again.
[attr=class,bulk] Mikoto watched Yuffie’s demonstration. She was still unsure when it was time to be super dramatic. Maybe during a drama on the stage? And what was a ninja? Whatever it was, Yuffie must be one, so Mikoto merely needed to observe. It seemed Mikoto could not say anything that might interest this Yuffie unless it was about “kicking butt”. Though, why was she so interested in using her foot to intrude on people’s backsides? [break][break] This Yuffie created more questions than answers with her responses. One could almost see Mikoto’s head tilt to the side with vacant eyes. Question marks floated above her head. [break][break] Her eyes studied Yuffie’s moogle outfit, nearly sparkling at seeing the moogle impression on it. “This is cute. Yes.” It seemed she finally understood the true meaning of cute. Mikoto lifted her arms to look at herself even though the moogle part was on her head. She seemed quite satisfied. [break][break] Mikoto scrunched her brow together at Yuffie’s story, then eyes widened in curiosity. She wanted to see this anomaly for herself to learn the purpose why it would do that. Though Mikoto was unsure why Yuffie raised her voice. Mikoto emotionlessly watched Yuffie’s ghost mimicry, unimpressed. Ghosts did not not do that. She would know. She partially lived in Headstone Forest. "This aberrant ghost makes ‘wooOOOooo’ sounds? Does it take souls from your vessel? Will it kick your butt?” She then added. “Typically they talk in colors and emotional imprints…” [break][break] She silently trailed behind Yuffie, both confused and interested. They arrived back at the store and Mikoto turned her eyes back to Yuffie. “Is there a proper manner for me to get this sweet?” How did she approach someone to get what she wanted for her predecessor? What did these people say? Trick or treat? Then what? Just wait?

"Get ready , ZEPHRON, for YUFFIE!"
The Great Ninja Yuffie!
Okay, so this girl was WEIRD with a capital WEE. Which was something Yuffie was, in retrospect, glad she hadn't said out loud. But at least she was learning! And Yuffie had always wanted a sidekick who would do whatever she said, and it seemed she had found that in this girl. She watched as she checked her cloak and asked if it was cute.
"Uh, of course it's cute. SUPER cute. OBVIOUSLY I'm cuter in mine, but that can't be helped, 'cause I am totes, 100% adorbs, and you're like, at 97%," Yuffie explained helpfully. If 'helpfully' meant 'not at all helpful in any way, shape or form'.
Her new found lackey - no wait, she meant friend, honest - did not seem too impressed with her ghost story, prompting Yuffie to look back at her with her own unimpressed stare.
"Whaaaat? Colours and emotional whosits? That doesn't sound scary at ALL! It's Halloween! Ghost stories are meant to be SCARY!" As if to emphasise, she repeated; "WooooOOOOOooooo!" Which didn't seem to have much effect. "Anyway, he talks like that sometimes. But sometimes he does, uh, scarier stuff, like.... uh.... he... sneaks up on you... then he GROWLS! Like a wolf! RAAAAR!" Yuffie threw her hands up in the air and did her best monster growl. Which unfortunately hurt her throat and descended into a coughing fit. Once she had finally finished, she cleared her throat, and looked back up at the girl. "So, uh, yeah, you better watch out. 'cause he's totally scary. You better believe he'll kick your butt! Not MY butt though, 'cause, obviously, I'm a total Pro. No ghost is a match for me!" She threw a few more quick air punches to demonstrate her beating up an imaginary ghost.
She asked about how to get the candy, and again Yuffie rolled her eyes.
"Yeah! You just go up, and you yell, 'TRICK OR TREAT!'. The louder the better!" Yuffie declared, with a big smile. "Then you get your candy and come back here. And if they happen to give you lots, you share it with me. That's the rules. You gotta share it with whoever you're with," Yuffie instructed. "By the way, you should probably tell me your name. I'm the Great Ninja Yuffie! You can call me Yuffie when you're in a rush though. Or just, like, 'Cap'n' or 'Boss' if you like," Telling Mikoto to call her Boss actually sent a pang of regret, because for a moment, it reminded her of Sonon, but she was fairly sure the girl wouldn't do it anyway.
"Right! Now go! And remember, be SUPER loud!" Yuffie grinned, shooing the girl towards the store.
