Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Thank you, thank you~." Junko gave a showy over-the-top bow and then offered her best friend her arm. "And you look perfect as always. Shall we depart, Lizzy dear?" She attempted a proper, snooty English accent...but with her pre-existing accent it sounded just silly.

"We shall acquire eyescream and then look upon what the peons find to be valuable in the surrounding shops." Junko informed her friend with a haughty tone, fanning herself with an imaginary fan as the pair of them walked out of Lizzy's dorm.

That self-conscious part of her did rear its ugly head when they started to walk out in public dressed like this, her heart racing too fast and her chest feeling too tight around her lungs. Haha! She'd be fine. She'd be okay. She could do this. Just one day. If you can survive this, you can survive anything.

Nevertheless she did cling to Lizzy a little tighter.

"So how have you been, my dearest? It's been some time since we could--" Oh shoot! Posh court ladies did not say 'hang out'. Not unless someone was literally hanging! "......hang out." ******** posh court society's rules!

Junko tilted her head to one side, resting her head against Lizzy's. She was still feeling her breakup with Mac? But he was so...so..well..ugh. She couldn't hate him as she used to, he'd actually down her a bit of kindness she hadn't been expecting. Why couldn't he do that before? Though even he admitted despite all of the advice he still disliked her. She squeezed Lizzy's hand. At least now she could relate a little better to the heartache.

When Lizzy raised her head Junko did the same, threading her fingers through the other ghoul's and regarding her with a small frown. It wouldn't last forever? Well that was good.

She suddenly looked away, her expression almost worried. Junko did feel heartache, but it bothered her that it didn't seem to be as strong as she thought it would be. It was more like a dull pain in her chest that intensified if she was around a happy couple, or if she saw something that reminded her of their time together..

"Yeah..mother knows best~." Junko sang playfully, forcing a smile. "How long has it been..?" She tried to keep the question light, but Junko was asking for her own sake mostly. How long had it been for Lizzy and Mac and Lizzy was still feeling it? Was there any hope for Junko?

Understandable. Junko didn't want to keep track either, and so she couldn't fault Lizzy for it. A few Octobers..that was a long time. She blinked and looked at Lizzy when the ghoul suddenly apologized. What? Why? "No, no. Don't be sorry. It's fine. I'm here~." Junko squeezed her hand for reassurance. See? Junko would be here at her side, she wouldn't let her go. Not her best friend.

When asked how she was her smile was strained. "Okay.." Junko kept that up for a few seconds before she sighed and looked away. "No, that's a lie. It's been...well..excuse my language but it's been s**t." She frowned. When Junko spoke again her voice was barely a whisper. "I...I broke up with Seiji.."

Junko stayed quiet at first, walking alongside Lizzy without speaking a word. Her gaze was on the ground, her hands shaking at first. Did she want to talk about it? The sting of that whole day was still rather fresh. Even now she could feel her eyes burning and that lump in her throat returning, the pain in her chest and stomach making a harsh comeback.

She sniffed, wiping the underside of her eyes to rid them of tears and lifting her head to give Lizzy a close-eyed smile. "Not today." Her voice was strained with the pain she was trying to force away. She had come to Lizzy to have fun with her best friend, not think about Seiji. "O-oh, um. He said uh..he w-was going to br...br..bring you m-my stuff. Togivetome." Junko forced a laugh to let something out that wasn't a cry, clearing her throat and staring ahead of her instead. "C'mon. I can see the eyescream place from here."

"Thank you. I..I didn't realize he hadn't done it yet." Junko's brow furrowed with concern. Why hadn't he brought Lizzy her stuff yet? From how he had stormed off she would have assumed her things would have been shoved carelessly into a box and thrown out of his room in a fit of rage or something. Well justified rage. Sorrow and regret swelled in Junko's chest and she laughed involuntarily, though she didn't look at all happy or amused as she did. A hand came up to cover her face as she sighed, rubbing her eyes a moment. "I wish I could ask how he's doing. It...it wasn't a pleasant meeting.." She admitted quietly, taking a deep breath in, holding it, and finally letting it out in a quiet sigh again. She'd be okay. She just needed a distraction right now. Junko didn't want to cry in front of Lizzy, especially not in public.

Though maybe she could blame it on the ugly dress. It was obviously causing her physical harm to be in such an ugly dress.

She was glad to make it to the eyescream parlor. It was a very welcome change in subject. "I don't know! I usually get candy corn. Do you think I should try something new?" It couldn't hurt! Maybe she would make today a day she tried all kinds of new things!

Eyescream was way more fun to talk about than breakups. Junko wanted to not think about it right now. Luckily Lizzy was saying the right things to get Junko's mind off Seiji and instead on...meat-flavored eyescream. She made a rather disgusted look at that. How could...how did..

Meat-flavored eyescream.

What.

She shuddered a bit. "I'm okay not going in that direction...cookies and cream without fly chips sounds good, though." She wasn't a spider like Lizzy. Junko didn't find flies appealing, but she wouldn't judge. Putting her head on the ghoul's shoulder, Junko hummed thoughtfully. Cotton candy, candy corn, cookies and cream..

Hmmmm..

"I think I'll get all three." Junko announced with a very serious look, standing straight and looking determined. Could she eat three scoops of three different flavors of eyescream? She wasn't sure, but she could try.

"GROSS! Who could eat that?!" Junko lowered her voice politely as the workers who would be handling their food.

At Lizzy's doubts Junko giggled and grinned, pointing at the back of her head. "Halloween's best garbage disposal." If Junko couldn't finish it, The Mistress damn sure could!
