[ Eruka had brought along a sketchbook, and while she was still a bit nervous about meeting someone from Shibusen, she was comforted by the fact that there were a lot of people around and that it was

[actually, it was the precise reason. Liz had grown up in the streets, and she knew that the best place to meet someone you still weren't sure if you could trust was in public-not private.

she did feel weird. Kim was one thing but Eruka...this was really cutting it close. seriously, was she out of her mind? she didn't exactly tell anyone either.

so when she finally arrived at the spot, a bag carrying her own things tucked under her arm, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. what if this was a trap? if she was taken, Kid would be useless. he couldn't wield just Patti.

Oh God, this is a mistake. Why did I have to get caught up in talking about fashion with a witch!?

well she had Patti, Kid, and Maka on speed dial in case things went wrong.

that still wasn't much reassurance, as she gave Eruka an awkward greeting.]

Uh...hey...Eruka.

[frogglingwitch]

Umm... hi. Liz.

[ since that's what the girl had said to call her. also looking around some more, because Liz is looking nervous too ]

So...

[ and then she just says the first thing that comes to her mind ]

You're tall!

[noghostsplzkthx]

[....wat-]

Er...thanks? You're...well. [uh. yeah. okay just. sitting down now.]

Have you ordered anything?

[let's just try for some casual conversation. try to get rid of this awkward air.]

[frogglingwitch]

[ Eruka starts to shake her head but then stops with a slight gurgle as though the skull collar was made of nitroglycerine instead of material. ]

Not yet, ribbit. But they had some cake that looked really good.

[noghostsplzkthx]

[that wasn't exactly a pleasant sound.]

Cake? I wonder how many calories it has. [looking through the menu.]

I haven't really tried this place yet, so I have no idea.

[frogglingwitch]

[ she would rather not need a reason to make that kind of sound, believe her.

she looks slightly embarrassed, like she's been caught with a sweet tooth. ]

Apple cake.

[noghostsplzkthx]

Apple cake? [she can't help but smile a little at that. it was kind of unexpected.]

Hm...I guess I'll try this parfait. I haven't had one in a while.

[and waving over person to get their orders ♥]

[frogglingwitch]

[ starting to relax. almost. sort of. no one's popped out from under a table to grab her or anything! gives her order for a slice of cake and a drink ]

So that whole... being a ghost thing wore off. Or did you talk to Kim about it?

[ she hasn't actually been able to get a hold of the other witch, which is worrisome ]

[noghostsplzkthx]

It wore off, which I am really glad about. I just hope this place will lay off the random curses or whatever.

[frogglingwitch]

It's hard to tell when people are crazy because of that or if they're just crazy.

[noghostsplzkthx]

I think there are plenty of just plain crazy people around. [sigh.]

Anyway, are you really sure you wanna...you know, help with this?

[frogglingwitch]

That's what I was worried about.

[ looks at Liz for a moment, like she's really really considering taking the offer to RUN FOR THE HILLS, but... ]

Ribbit! I don't want to have brought all my stuff out here for no reason.

[noghostsplzkthx]

[dead serious look.]

No tricks. This is just between two fashionistas.

All right?

[frogglingwitch]

[ as though Eruka even had the option. ]

Yeah yeah. Don't make a scene.

[noghostsplzkthx]

[yeah yeah.

pulling out her notebook of sketches of some outfits. there are even some fabric samples sticking out.]

So these are just a few ideas I had...I can't really draw so sorry if it looks weird, but you should get the idea.

[and showing whatever it is she has idk.]

as Li desperately flubs any kind of clothier skill...

[frogglingwitch]

[ Eruka immediately perks up at the notebook, leaning over to get a better look ]

No, they look okay. Most of the ideas are right, just need some alternations.

[ she points at one sketch ]

See the collar you've got here, and it's standing up? You can't use this light material or it's going to flop over like a limp lily pad, ribbit. You'll need something at least brocade-weight.
