Welcome to Gaia! ::

Junko blushed a little more, unsure how to handle that kind of argument. Riley was always right. Even when she was wrong she was right. Junko wished she could have that kind of influence on people. The colors were noted though, and she was glad they were colors she had in mind anyway! Especially the white, though if she wanted to use blue she'd make sure to run it by Riley first. She didn't think purple would be a good idea, considering her body was purple..purple overload, anyone? Yup. She might not look too bad in a smidgen of orange..maybe if it was an accent to a black dress? Ooooh! That could be fun!

Oh, she went on runs with Malodore and Luce? How cute! Oh...Fitness club. She'd heard of the Fitness club. It wasn't her thing, she wasn't athletic in the slightest. She frowned a little as Riley asked her to join the club, rubbing at the back of her neck and turning her eyes away so she wouldn't have to see her friend's face when she turned down her offer. "I don't..think that's a good idea. I can barely jog a few feet without running out of breath and getting tired, I can't lift anything heavier than a load of laundry and even that gets really heavy for me sometimes.." She couldn't even carry laundry without getting tired, Riley! This was definitely not the club for her! As fun as paintball sounded she just couldn't see herself being in a fitness club.

Apparently her argument didn't hold ground with Riley. It seemed this just encouraged her. Junko's already pale face seemed to get paler at the idea of getting up early every morning to go running, or using machines to work out, or having to embarrass herself in front of trainers, in front of Riley. But..wasn't Seiji in this club too? Oh crap! That made it even worse! She couldn't let Seiji see her like that! The dismay was as clear as day on her face as she gasped quietly to herself, putting a hand over her mouth. No way! She couldn't join if Seiji was there! He'd see her looking terrible and being unable to do the simplest activity! She couldn't have that. It was too embarrassing. The Mistress huffed, having been generous with her silence until now. Junko was being ridiculous. "She's having a bit of a crisis at the moment. Please hang up and try again." She drawled, wishing so badly She had eyes She could roll. Junko ignored Her. Why? Riley had just picked her up.

"Wh-whathowwhywh..huh?!" Junko clung to Riley, dropping the boots on the floor so she wouldn't be dropped. Not that she didn't trust Riley but...but why was she holding her up like this?!

Wait, punch Nukpana so he could feel it? She paused a moment, her resolve not to join wavering. That..that did sound like a nice argument. "B..but...everyonewillseeme." Junko said in a rush, her voice hushed and full of embarrassment. She couldn't. She would look like an idiot...Junko wasn't sure if she could handle that. She frowned. As appealing to her as the idea of actually getting Nuk to say 'ow' to a punch thrown by her, the horror of embarrassing herself with her lack of physical strength had her wanting to curl up and hide again.

Though she had been wanting to get stronger to defend herself better...

Her cheeks went from pale to brighter and brighter red the longer they discussed this, rubbing at one of them and biting nervously on her lip while she listened quietly to Riley's argument. She just wasn't seeing it, she wasn't getting it. This was a huge deal to her! It was embarrassing. She didn't want to look weak in front of everyone...but Riley had said they had all levels. Did they have anyone else at her level?

As she was set down Junko shuffled her feet awkwardly until she felt her chin being tilted up, staring up at Riley with a worried frown still. Of course Riley didn't understand, she wasn't afraid to do anything. Everyone loved Riley. She didn't get attacked by Mei or Sa--oh...wait, she did fight Sarias. Junko's hands moved to rub at her arms, half-hugging herself. Sh-she did plenty of exciting things! Like...like...death trap field trips?

The blush returned at the compliment Riley was giving her, and her worry faltered long enough for her to give Riley nothing but confusion. Wait, what? That was funny. Haha. Funny, Riley. So silly. Such a kidder, that Ri..ley...? "N-no, I definitely can.." If their little tiff the other day had anything to say about it, she definitely could do wrong, but she was seeing where Riley was going with that. Junko clutched the sleeves of her kimono, trying desperately to find a new argument. Seiji had friends! Bul was even in the club too, right? He'd be okay without her. Th..they couldn't spend every second together! She...she just... "I-I don't even have anything to work out in!"

...Seriously? Even Junko was internally wincing at how stupid that one was.

Curse Riley and her logic! Junko couldn't help but smile a little at that. Riley made a very good point; for Junko to say she had nothing to wear was ridiculous considering she made all her own clothes. She stayed still for the nuzzling, giggling and affectionately leaning into it and squeezing her eyes as she scrunched up her face. Fine, fine...she'd think about it.

When she was let go she leaned back again, looking more comfortable and cheerful now. Riley was very determined. "Alright. I'll...think about it. If I join, you'll definitely see me." She told her friend, clasping her hands behind her back and bouncing a little. "Soooo I'll see you later, then?" Of course she would! It's not like this club would be the only time anyone would ever see Riley! "I really appreciate you coming over, Riley. It's always nice to see you." Especially in one piece.
