So ... it really is possible, huh? Would it be naive of me to hope that this is something of a gift, instead of a sign of worse things to come? Knowing the castle, it probably is. What'll it be, Paradisa? I hate having to sit back and wait to see.

... But, despite that, I can't help but wonder if someday, someone might come for me, too.

[a pause, before she lets out a long sigh]

Yeah, yeah, I know. "They wouldn't want you to sit around and mope like this!" I get it, already ... [a huff] I just don't know what my purpose is here, anymore.

[there's a few doodled flowers on the page, before she writes below them]

Anyone want to go shopping?

[notanthea]

Which stores here do you suggest?

written back forever :)

[ino]

Depends on the kind of thing you're looking for, I guess.

[notanthea]

A little of anything. Particularly professional dress.

[ino]

Well, clothes, that's no problem. That's what I usually look for, too.

Professional dress, though? What, you mean like a suit or something? Or just something classy?

[notanthea]

Something classy. Suits are [There's a pause while she exhales in slight amusement] suitable.

[heloise]

You mean to buy new dresses?

[ino]

It'd be pretty boring if you had to wear a suit every day, anyways ... but it seems like there are places that do that.

Well, there's a few places in town that have more of a simple look that doesn't go too overboard ... [she'll list three different clothing stores here :D]

[heliotroping]

Shopping for what...?

[ino]

Sure, if that's what you want to shop for~

[ino]

Anything, really. It's just fun to walk around and look through shops.

[notanthea]

Indeed there are. Thank you for your help.

[ino]

Yeah, sure. Did you get a job around here or something?

[heloise]

Yes, I need a new dress. Mine are no longer in the mode.

[ino]

"In the mode"?

[notanthea]

Or something.

[ino]

How mysterious~

[notanthea]

Not at all. I'm a personal aide and my boss is here. Hardly interesting.

[heloise]

Yes. Fashion is such a fickle thing.

[ino]

Oh, so he's the one who wants you to look classy, huh?

[ino]

Ohh, you mean like trendy!

Don't worry, though, I'm sure we can find you something good.

[heloise]

Yes, in the trend.

Shall I meet you by the fountain, perhaps? And--my name is Lucrezia Borgia, my new friend.

[notanthea]

No. It's simply appropriate.

[ino]

Yeah, sure. Nice to meet you. I'm Ino -- I'll be the blonde wearing purple.

[pulling her coat on to head out now 8)]

[heloise]

Ino. And I will be blonde as well, in a sky blue dress.

[ actioooon? ]

[ino]

Appropriate, huh ... ? Most of the people I know at home show up to work in bright orange jumpsuits and fishnets, so ...
