[Lisa doesn't mind heat normally, but boy, this is a little much for her. YumeTube suggested a no-bake dessert recipe she wanted to try, leading her to come out grocery shopping, but the heat's added a few cold drinks to her tote bag, which is itself a little too big to carry comfortably in this heat. Still, she prefers that to a plastic bag in her hand. So her hair, pulled back into a tail behind her to keep it off her back, keeps getting caught up in it... eh. She'll deal, probably.

But even in her cutoff denim shorts and beige T-shirt, she's melting. This weather isn't suitable for people to... be out in... oi, is this guy picking up trash?]


Hey, man, you're crazy being out in this! Are you holding up all right?

[.......one eyebrow raising into her own bangs. She believes him about being used to it, but then she has to wonder why he's used to it. That's a whole separate concern and one that she's not sure she has good answers for.

Then she takes in his appearance more properly, and a vein in her forehead twitches as her eyes snap to his sleeves. Why does this poor soul own a shirt that he could probably wear as a winter covering over six other layers, let alone feel like it's sensible to go outside in it? This affront will not stand-]


N-no, you're. You're not in the way. I'm just having a moment out here, don't mind me.

[....is what she wants to express, but. Can she fix that? And crucially, in a way that isn't waaaaaay too forward?]

Sorry. Your shirt is driving me up the wall, which is not your fault, I'm just weird and notice strange stuff sometimes. Um. You don't have to respond to any of that, I know it's a really odd thing to bring up out of the blue... [-abort, abort...!]

That's... very true... [Surely he understands her frustration. He can't possibly... no, he probably is wearing this unironically and it's what he had in his closet, and maybe doesn't understand why she's asking. If it were her she just wouldn't go out and risk being seen, or worse having her picture taken. Amazon totally delivers same-day to Yumemigaoka, right? Just. Order something with right-now shipping.

-wait, hold on, she's not trying to retail therapy herself into new clothing, Lisa's trying to get him into new clothing somehow. Or at least understand what he's thinking.]
I sew and knit as a hobby, so I have a habit of noticing fashion while I'm out. You look like you're drowning in that shirt, and now that I've seen it I can't un-see it. [She is trying not to be creepy, but she's conscious it's still really weird.]

It's... [How to put this at least a little delicately?] It's probably fine for most people? I just have hobby-related OCD, a little bit. But someone in a serious situation might notice. Like a job interview or something.

[A beat. Then, hesitantly:] I'm debating if it's something I could fix without it looking super amateur-ish, and if you were willing? [He probably isn't rocking the too-loose-for-comfort look of his own accord. Men's clothing tends not to be as expensive as women's, but it still isn't cheap...] Um, if it's not too presumptuous of me, I kinda need practice with men's stuff, and Papa isn't in a position to wear anything I would feel safe touching. [Or around very often,, she mentally adds.

And hey! If she screws it up she can always just make him something, but if she says that aloud she's inviting disaster, so she'll keep it to herself for now.]

Oh, that's fine! I didn't necessarily mean today, just. The thought wouldn't leave me alone. I'm sorry, I know it's really weird of me to ask. We can trade phone numbers or LINEs or something. [She smiles softly.] And I'm glad you have something for the important stuff.

[The question about meeting people brings her up short. Where does she meet up with people? She feels like she just kinda... goes wherever other people already are.]

Um. I'm kinda boring in that respect. School, the Dreamer Union, maybe sometimes the department store or a café. [Does Camellia count, now? It probably counts.] Maybe the station, but that gets weird if you're already in the same ward...

[personal profile] traceofeffort 2023-10-05 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, there's nothing wrong with soba. Or the park. But... yeah, the department store probably works best for me anyway, for... reasons. [Like last-minute supplies, but he doesn't need to know that for this specific project.] Um, you definitely don't need to bring anything, though. Just whatever you need to be out for a bit. You're helping me out, so I'll cover food, too. You can test a new dessert recipe I've been looking at while I sew.

[Lisa stops rambling enough long enough to listen to the young man's concern, blinking in surprise. She's been so focused on his shirt she forgot about the weather. And the fact that her neck and upper arms are starting to feel a bit... bake-y. It hasn't been that long but she does not want to burn today! She'd rather him not burn either, but he's so unconcerned, maybe he just doesn't.]

A-ah, yes, please! I distracted myself so much I forgot about melting! Ahaha...

[She's right behind him as he walks, joining him on the bench. She's not quite wilting, but she can feel her ears tingling. Why does the sun have to be a deadly laser today? Lisa lets out a long breath, smiling across at him.]

Imai Lisa. Pleased to meet you! And it's fine. There isn't much for it, this time of year.

[They can both be awkward together! She really should have introduced herself sooner than this, but if anyone asks the heat scrambled her manners. Not that that was in doubt.]

[personal profile] traceofeffort 2023-10-09 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, that's not a bad plan. [She palms her own phone quickly and pulls up the add screen with practiced speed.] Maybe I'll be a little less awkward when I'm not frying out here. I'm sure you weren't expecting to be accosted by a random girl on the street today. [She certainly wasn't planning on it!]

[Lisa has the grace - and the restored energy - to laugh at herself.]

Well, I'm glad I wasn't a terrible bother, then. [A wince.] Hopefully you didn't literally get hit with a ball though. That would kinda set the tone for my day, personally.
traceofeffort: (012)

[personal profile] traceofeffort 2023-10-17 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Just your pride, right? [She smiles; of course nothing major happened.] Maybe I've watched too much anime, I thought you'd gotten hit with a high school soccer team's errant kick or something.

Hopefully not, but I don’t take anything for granted in this city, you know? Too many people, too much strangeness. It’s home, and I love it, but I’ve seen a lot.
