Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ohhhh I put ours in the pocket near the the outermost fabric layer and it still works. Nope, eight stations sound fine. Is it difficult to familiar a place again and again? Like you have to make new friend, develop your social network all over and you will miss your old friends......Roland, you need to go out and relax more, our job is stressful." She patted on his shoulder softly.

Then, her phone vibrated for incoming messages, "Roland, a COSTUME PARTY! We can get what we need in our trip, together with candies and bears!" The girl excitedly announced, squishing his hand with sparkles in her eyes. "Will you have time to join me? You will be the best reaper." Considering what his weapon was, the jest validated.

She chatted with Rep and favourited Harrison's post for the support, it was gonna be awesome!

"I will be a witch with bunny ears then!" The girl chirped and clapped for the excellent idea, she's gonna to remake how she liked in one of her dreams she had in the tower. "I had a weird short dream that I seemed born in the Halloween world, a dessert witch freshman, something went wrong when I was a baby, it gave me a pair of bunny ears that I hid under a cloth hood. I think it would be a nice idea to dress up as her!"

After the sharing, she adjusted her posture and patted with her small hands right in the middle of his face, quite clear and short. "You said it, no unhappy face in the holiday, so this's a small punishment~" The girl grinned, giggling.

It was one stop left from their destination, the feet inside the little boots tapped the floor one after another, eyes on the electronic board that indicated which station they were.

Shu didn't take Roland's hand, instead when the door opened, she rushed out of it. "No objection~", the petite girl winked with a finger waggle. After a few steps, she turned back to wait for him. "The witch in my dream didn't born with ears, they are like humans. It was an accident when her mother baked something next to the young girl, thus she used a hood to hide them. I think I will see if I can find a hat with fluffy bunny ears -" Fluffy was a main point, Shu answered Roland's problem when they walked side by side.

"Wow, this mall is quite big..." She raised her head to scan through the multi-floor mall, from left to right. "We have big malls like that too, when there are events, the top floor will be stuffed with cosplayers!" It was a weekend day, and the area was packed with families, adults and children. "Roland! Roland! Look at all the beautiful decorations!" The taller hunter was shaken by his arm as Shu distracted by the festive embellishment. "Awww, it would look great at night."

"Not a white one, or else you will be Alice. I have my Alice already~!" Shu giggled, shoulder moved up and down. "Nah, not normal dream, the dreams I had in the horseman tower, I saw Miss America in them twice. Short, weird dreams." She had her head tilted aside.

They talked as they walked on the long aisle towards the toy store, one or two kids ran passed them with buckets, a little vampire chasing after a little werewolf. They circled the two for a moment, using them as the barrier against each other, before they headed towards the opposite direction. It was natural to twist and follow the kids around them until they ran away.

Shu nodded at the similarities, "Yes yes, I love to guess what they are dressing as when I see them on public transport, mostly I get the right answer." There was a proud smile on her face. " We have several events each year, small and big, there will be some organized inside universities too, isn't it awesome?" As a past cosplayer, she got excited easily with the theme. "Is it that one? Be quick, Roland. We don't know if we have enough time to get what we all need!" The girl dragged the hunter by his arm and started to dart towards the store. "Candies are waiting, bear is waiting for me to get it home~"

Imagining Roland as an Alice was the best joke of that day, Shu was thinking if she could get a blonde wig as well as two oranges, maybe - Luckily, Roland's answer saved himself from getting a miserable impression, "Oh oh you were one of those who saves us? Wow~" She sent a look of admiration. "It's - weird to have another identity, the promise they gave was tempting. For a while, I couldn't get rid of it...It's fine now." That was what she said right before the kids ran towards them.

"I know, but I can't stop the excitement inside me. That's a good idea, let's meet at the cashier later then! Text me if you've waited too long." She waved delightfully before swiftly disappeared in the crowd.

From what Roland said, she realized her life, past life was totally different from him. She enjoyed anime, manga and games and they're part of her life while Roland seemed to be more mature with his lifestyle? She enjoyed dressing up as another character, it was like she could live their lives once, she used to have many outfits at home.

The girl spaced out at the candy column, until someone asked her to scoot over. "Oh sorry." Shu moved aside with a smile and checked the candies displayed on shelves. She picked a small pumpkin bucket into her cart, and then started to get different kinds of candies: chocolate bars, lollipops, gummies, marshmallows and some bubblegum balls. It was a great thing that they have individual pieces on sales, she blended in with the children well.

Shu didn't reply Roland back, but getting them out of the chaos was perhaps the best thing to do. Some of them switched sides or turned against each other, like Stormy. There were some hostile horsemen and students who attacked hunters in sight and the Priest - She was very thankful for whoever got them out, all safely arrived home.

While the bear hunter was hunting for her bear, she got a small blank notebook out of her candy house bag and a mechanical pencil. She moved to a less crowded corner to scribble the outfit in her mind out, a very rough hatched sketch. "I need the hat, the colorful top, the skirt, I have the leggings and boots.....Hmm, I need some buttons and bobby pins, and that's it!" The petite girl closed the notebook with a thump, put it back into the bag. It was a good thing that the store was like packed with all kinds of stuff. After getting enough candies, she drove her cart to the accessories section before reunited with Roland.

She could see the hunter from far, but what he was holding made her eyes rolled big and squealed with delight. It might be a little "car accident" if Roland didn't stop the speeding cart by his long leg as his arms were occupied by the girl that jumped up to glomp him from the front. "Bear! My bear! It's so cute and BIGGGGGGG! Thank you Roland, it'll be the best bear I have ever!" She yelled in exhilaration. "If-If I am a bit smaller, maybe I can sit within it, like a castle hehe~" Her hands wrapped around Roland's neck, flushed from the excitement. "Thank you Roland! Thank youuuuuu~!"

Roland would feel the momentum and had to brace himself not to be knocked down.

It was just a little drama happened in the store, and clamour like that wasn't uncommon. Yet, when it was from two grown-up, ignoring the one that can tricked you into thinking she was just a big girl, it drew the attention. Mommies and daddies's eyes all focus on them but that didn't bother Shu at all, she was as hyper as someone who intoxicated with sugar. Candy Crush.

"You utterly keep your promise! Well done Roland." She giggled and the curious big eyes caught by the fabric hung softly on his arm, slid down the taller hunter. "You get your costume? What're you gonna be?" She gazed at the costume, as if she would see through it. If the clothes were alive, it would feel it was a mice stared by a cat with a smile. After a few ten seconds, her attention finally shifted. "I got some candies, three buttons and some bobby pins, are they cute?" She pulled her cart close enough for the two to peek inside, scooped up the pins and buttons with her hands, one wrote: "Official Candy Taster".

"Hmm.....I still need to find a hat and the clothes, do you know where the boutique clustered?" But first they need to check out so that she can hug her new bear.
