[Since the start of all this, Yuffie has made her way through just about everywhere.

Places like the Space Opera didn't last long. Not only was having a bubble surrounding her head weird, but she had to go inside when she had the bad luck of needing to scratch her nose, or do anything useful. And it didn't take long before she wanted to hit the stupid head bubble against anything hard. By then, it was time to leave.

She did decide to run right through the Ice Age, and The Nile. Too cold, and way to hot, but with someone like Yuffie? Who wouldn't have fun in the Gangland? Besides the uncomfortable girl suit, it was quite fun to be up some random gangsters that started a fight because she looked at them funny. One of them could possibly still be found tied to a streetlight....by his hand. She isn't that cruel.

But when she found the Shogunate, she was very pleased! While arriving at night she happily found herself in a ninja outfit. Those all black ones, which she had a lot of fun with, running from those samurai until they got themselves lost, but all of that fun ended when the sun came up...Suddenly, at quite possibly at the worst time, her outfit changes into a kimono. Not even into one of those short, practical ones that are easy to walk in. Nooo, it was in fact one of those that takes hours to get out of, along with the most awkward shoes possible. How does that end, well...

The journal finally picks up her awkward steps going from harder ground, to grass, then quite a lot of yelling as she tries not to fall, but fails. Then there goes the journal-]

No no no no! Don't you dare fall into the water!

[...At least the incoming splash never happens. Though the once ninja can now be found trying really hard to getthose shoes off. (Which is much harder than it should be, with all those layers of clothing in the way) then trying, trying to get up and fetch her journal. Nothing is going well...]

[Saori is sitting by the pond Yuffie's journal nearly fell into, watching the display with a more than slightly bemused smirk. She hadn't expected to see the ninja there, and certainly never in such a formal kimono. With a laugh, she calls out]

Yuffie, are you alright?

[She, of course, is wearing the same sky blue kimono she always does]

[Action]

[materiathief]

[Oh dammit, and someone saw all that too. Now she's just going to give up on moving altogether, and just frown...at least the grass is comfortable.]

Do I look okay? I think this stupid thing weighs more than I do!

[Action]

[windandrain]

Perhaps.

[She moves over and kneels down beside Yuffie.]

Would you like help?

[Action]

[materiathief]

Help would be nice...or scissors.

[Action]

[windandrain]

Hold still. I'll get you out.

[Saori reached down and tugged on the obi, peeling back the kimono in a single gesture, a trick her mother had taught her.]

[Action]

[materiathief]

[Alright, that was the last thing Yuffie thought was going to happen, and it's a bit awkward, but-]

I can breathe again!

[Action]

[windandrain]

Then next time don't tie it so tightly?

[She giggles and drops the heavy clothing over the present she'd just unwrapped]

[Action]

[thenightmarebegins]

[After leaving where his home now is in the Nile, Vincent has been venturing to the other lands as well. He's at least somewhat keeping an eye out for the needed items, wondering if perhaps the points would be worth it, after all.]

[When he gets to the Shogunate, he finds himself in a male version of a kimono, in red and black, of course, and unlike his normal attire. That is the one drawback to these various landscapes so far, these changes. But then he comes across someone having far more fashion trouble than he is...]

Yuffie?

[Action]

[materiathief]

[Now while Yuffie is having a hard time herself, even though she is in a very pretty green and leafy kimono, with no idea how to move, or even stand up in the thing...seeing Vincent in something different than his normal red cape makes her stop altogether, and just stare.

Don't mind her.]

[Action]

[thenightmarebegins]

[Vincent stares back for a moment. He finds it just as surreal an experience to be wearing this thing. Not that any of the various areas are any better, sigh.]

...Is something wrong?

[Action]

[materiathief]

[Well the more she stares, the more she smiles. Completely forgetting about her outfit problems.]

You look much less gloomy today!

[Action]

[thenightmarebegins]

I didn't do this on purpose, you're aware.

[He's half wondering if he would have been better off staying in the tomb he'd woken up in.]

[Action]

[materiathief]

Can't you just take a compliment?

[Because she knows he could just kick her in the face right now, and she couldn't do a damn thing about it.]

[action]

[blackteriques]

[You know, in a place like Gangland, it's really easy to just ... stand around and pick a fight. Walter's seen it a few times, after talking escalated into taunts and then people started drawing guns. And that's what he thinks is going to happen when he sees Yuffie beating up guys out there.

Yuffie might be getting a weird look from the blond guy in a white suit.]

What the hell are you doing?

[action]

[materiathief]

[Oh that's not fair, he got a white suit. She just got stuck with a plain old black one...

But she'll give one a good kick that sends him flying a good distance before she turns to the new person talking to her. Then gives him a weird look right back.]

What does it look like?

[action]

[blackteriques]

[Hey, a white suit's not all that great. They get dirty really easily...]

Beating up on the 'locals.' [He snorts at his own emphasis; this was a weird experiment-hunt thing, throwing people into the mix.] You do know there's more of them around, right?

[action]

[materiathief]

[But at least they look a whole lot cooler!]

Hey, they started it, the perverts. And yeah, that's a little obvious. But it's not like they're very strong. [And she could swear that some of them are drunk.]

[action]

[blackteriques]

[Not so cool if there's a dry cleaning bill involved!]

Even so, I wouldn't put it past them to gang up-- Perverts? [Yeah, that took a moment to register there.]

[action]

[materiathief]

[Hey, just walk over to the Ice Age for a second, then come back, and the suit might be clean?]

They already tried that, and yeah. Perverts. That's what I said.

[action]

[eightlazylegs]

A set of round, bulging eyes pops to the surface, along with a pair of writhing tentacles. Hermes has been looking for kappas, now that he's gotten someone to explain to him what a kappa actually is, but thus far no dice. Only waterweed and koi fish (though koi are quite tasty!), and the incidental item getting dropped on his head.

When she falls he's already bracing himself, and when it doesn't hit he's annoyed that she made him concerned in the first place.]

Watch step!

[action]

[materiathief]

I would if I could see my feet!

[Wait. It takes her a moment to figure out, and find the new person she's talking to...]

Ah! [She can't even move enough to see it more properly, but there's a talking thing with eyes poking out of the water!! She didn't think the fishies could talk!]

[eightlazylegs]

[Hermes wraps his tentacles around the planking of a small path running by the water and hauls himself upward, trying to get a better look. His wings wiggle to shake off the water.]

Look better at feet, then. Do not want things falling on head.

[materiathief]

[Yuffie just can't help to make an displeased face at this. A talking octipus is on the bit of a creepy side.]

...I can't see my feet in this thing.

[eightlazylegs]

[Disapproving octopus disapproves. And turns the same mossy green as his wings.] Cannot always see tentacles and yet manage to walk.

[materiathief]

[Ooh, and it changes colors...] You're not wearing clothes that weigh as much as you do.
