Welcome to Gaia! ::

((By coincidence, they both ended up at the lake...
As I understood it, we weren't supposed to rp in different threads simultaneously...but I could be wrong. Anyway, we could have gone from the mall to the lake, if that works for you...but then we can play individually in the same location, and Krait can interact with Olivia if their paths cross, that way we don't need to wait solely for each other. Sound decent??))

Keshi arrives at the mall and enters through the doors. She stops and notices how big this place is. She looks around and see a map and decides to look at it. After looking at it she decides she can't figure it out. With a large ~grumble~ she decides to wander around and hopfully find someone who knows this place. "All I want to do is find something fun to play with." Keshi says with a sigh as she starts to wander.

Olivia hurries into the mall. She is wearing one of the outfits she picked up a few days back. It consists of faded, dramatically-flared, bell-bottom jeans. They have a hole in the right knee, and patches of brightly-colored flowers on the left leg, toward the bottom. Through the belt-loops is a knotted belt that seems to be made of a soft material made into thin ropes. There are wooden beads throughout it, that make up a flower pattern, and on the ends of the long ropes that bounce at her left knee when she walks. Her top is sleeveless, with a flowing, handkerchief 'hem', and patterned with swirling bright purple and bright pink. A matching ribbon is adorning the long, strange ponytail she always has her hair in.

As she walks through the entry way, the heels of her black boots click against the polished floor. She grins, excitedly. Even if she can't bring her friend from the shiney land here, she is certain to find endless entertainment. She loves this place.

She looks around, contemplating which store she wants to go into first.

Olivia stumbles when she is bumped into. Apparently, she wasn't paying much attention to her surroundings, either. She stumbles back, her arms windmilling, while her long-suffering tail reaches out to help her keep her balance.

But, it is in vain. For, soon, Olivia is falling onto her bum, as well, with a small 'oof!'

She shifts, so that she is sitting on her heels, and rubs her bum, the eye hidden by her bangs squinted, while the visible eye takes in the girl that bumped into her.

"Yessss," she agrees, her tail perking up and waving, as Olivia's hands are currently busy trying to rub the sore out of her bottom. "And, you green," she says, nodding, as is her habit.

Then, she perks right up once more, a friendly, beaming smile on her face, as she says, "My name Olivia, or Liv, or Livvy. You pick," she recites, once more. "Who you?"

"Green a pretty color," Olivia adds. "Nicccce to meet you, Abssssinthe," she adds, beaming once more.

She stands, and looks around the place. "Liv only know a little sssshopssss. Liv not explore much, yet." Rocking on her feet, which proves to be difficult in her current shoes, she thinks a moment. Then, with a bounce, that sends her dizzying ribbon bouncing with her, she gets a proud look on her face. "Liv sssshow Absssssinthe whatever ssssshe wantssss! What Abssssinthe want to ssssee?" she asks, her hissing speech drawing out most of her words.

Olivia nods enthusiastically. "Follow Liv!" she calls, and reaches forward to grab at Absinthe's wrist to tug her toward the store. "It passsst the sssshop with the pretty, bright clothessss. We sssstop in there, later, and you can ssssee what I mean," she says, grinning. Everyone has to like bright clothes! All the swirly patterns and things. She lets out a happy sigh.

Her boots click against the floor as she hurries toward the store. When she is in front of it, she bounces on her toes a few times, her hands clasped to her chest as she beams, rather proud of herself. "Here! Abssssinthe can get Laudanum, whoever he issss, that book!" The brother concept doesn't sink in, as she has never before heard that term. "Why brother not here?" she asks, glancing around as though he will pop up at any moment. "Oh! And, Abssssinthe warn Laudanum!" she leans in, conspiratorily. "Bookssss can be mean. They jump out and attackssss you," she nods, all seriousness.

Olivia watches Absinthe drop the book, and tilts her head to the side. "They attack when pusssshed around, Liv thinkssss," she says, smiling slightly. "Laudanum might be ssssafe from book?"

She hugs her tail close to her chest again. "No, clothessss don't attack!" she says, giggling as though that is a silly thing to say. "We go ssssee them. Abssssinthe might find ssssomething sssshe like."
