26. [ RL with Larsa ]

[areyoulovers]

[ Mileina's waiting outside a Union theater; ever since the elevator collapse, the AEU had become a bit more difficult to get to quickly, so the west coast of the Union had become her preferred port of call. She's wearing a sweater and a short denim skirt with leggings, playing with her phone while she waits for Larsa to appear ]

Oh, well that's-- Mr. Larsa, come back! [ YOU TRICKSTER!! she runs after him, pouting a bit, then runs back, grabs the discarded clothes from the changing room, and catches up with him around the counter ] You're much too generous, Mr. Larsa! I know you're an emperor, but really!

[o3o Oh, where did we come from? Over here?] Hmmm? [What was that? He offers a small smile before shrugging it off.] Please, consider it as a thank you for getting me out of the palace.

[areyoulovers]

[ :T!!! She talks to the woman at the counter to arrange for him to wear the clothing out of the store, and taps her phone on the paypad before folding up his discarded tuxedo jacket and pants and taking the proffered bag for them. Only when they're leaving the store does she come back to the topic ] Is it very troubling, having to be the Emperor?

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[He is soooo out of his element. There's a moment of surprise before he grabs the suit and jacket.] Stay here, I will return these to the palace.

[He grabs a small crystal from the pocket of his pants before he disappears for literally two minutes before he returns.] Ah, yes, what were we talking about?

[areyoulovers]

...I'm not sure I remember!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[A good thing too. He felt bad for doing that on purpose, but his feelings about being Emperor or how he became one was something he rarely talked about to anyone.] Then, shall we?

[areyoulovers]

Hmm? Oh, yes, of course, the movie! [ and we're walking :D She remembered what she wanted to ask really, but Mr. Larsa isn't the sort of person to leave in the middle of a conversation by accident ]

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[He offers her his arm so that he may escort her. Larsa is such a gentleman 8)] This will be my first time seeing a movie, I am quite excited.

[areyoulovers]

Well, it's a very exciting movie! [ WHAT TO DO WITH THAT ARM she's getting flustered again so she translates that into talking VERY ENTHUSIASTICALLY ]

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[... Oh. He takes it as THEY ARE NOT ON A DATE. So, he's somewhat relieved and he just starts walking himself.] What is it about?

[areyoulovers]

[ well we're not, right? right??? ] Celestial Being, of course! Have I told you about them?

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[RIGHT. RIGHT.] I do not believe so, no.

[areyoulovers]

Hmm, well! [ exposition go!! hand gestures and everything ] Let's see, they first appeared in 2307. And their goal was to eradicate war! Mostly what people saw were four Gundams-- well, it varies, actually, because of various upgrades, and I think the general confirmation was of seven distinct units, but at the beginning it was four. And those Gundams were the tools to stop fighting and unite the world!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[For a moment it sounds like something that Vayne would have loved; man controlling man's destiny and stopping war. Tool to stop war? Larsa keeps his face interested as he considers the nature of the "Gundams"] A novel idea, is not? A world without war and one. Did they intervene in battles?

[areyoulovers]

Mm, yes! And then they also fought against the corruption of the A-laws... oh, but I shouldn't tell you too much before we see the movie! It isn't really very accurate to life, so you would just end up confused!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[An excited nod.] Oft times, reality isn't exciting enough for the story. [Wouldn't he know.]

[areyoulovers]

And of course... war isn't a very lovely thing. The movie seems to be meant for everyone to enjoy, which means at times it doesn't take fighting very seriously.

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

I wholly concur. I cannot wait to see it.

[areyoulovers]

[ good thing they've arrived! She taps her phone on the automatic ticket machine, and two pre-ordered tickets are spit out. Isn't future technology amazing? (The phone is under a fake name and routes through a Swiss bank to an address that doesn't actually exist, but hey. Occupational hazard.) ]

Would you like any popcorn, Mr. Larsa? It's an essential part of the moviegoing experience!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[LALALALALALA SO OBLIVIOUS. Peering at stuff, getting peered at (what a handsome man!!) and looking around. He might touch things to see what they do - force of FFXII habit.]

Pop ... corn? [HE SOUNDS SO FOREIGN.]

[areyoulovers]

[ Don't worry Mr. Larsa it's a movie theater I don't think you're going to blow anything up by poking at it ] Yes, it's popped corn! And soda as well, and possibly some candy! These are very important movie staples!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

... [He gives her a blank look.] I will leave it to your judgment, Mileina. [... Just warn him about the games. 8( he's going to get so addicted.]

[areyoulovers]

[ stay away from the blinky lights mr larsa ): She goes off to take care of the snacks, balancing most of them on one of those flimsy cardboard trays they give you ] My supply mission was successful!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

Oh, please allow me to assist you with that. [He swoops in and grabs some of the snacks with ease.] Direct me and I'll surely follow behind.

[areyoulovers]

Mr. Larsa, you always speak like you're straight out of a fairy tale! [ she leads the way to the theater happily, what a gentleman! ]
