Girls Day Out


Melody

Recommended Posts

Ana had traveled to Hawkers alley on her icy-blue bird, Terra, with a smile and a short list of things she needed for the Midnight Moogle's garden.

 

Ana had been itching to start a garden ever since the Adagio's hired her a few months ago. The two sad plots had old, dry dirt and remnants of someone trying to grow something but all that was left were dried up twigs of whatever poor plants they were. But, she had finally saved up enough money and decided to go down to the markets to purchase the things she needed to refresh the old gardens.

 

Once there Ana begun perusing the stalls and looked for the things she needed with her large woven basket in the crook of her arm. Hm, alright. Let's see here: topsoil, seeds, trowel, bonemeal, and a cute sun hat! She thought as she mentally reviewed her list with a bright and happy expression and a skip in her step. Just then several brightly colored ribbons dancing around sunny yellow brims caught her eye. "Oh! How pretty!" she said as she carefully lifted a hat from it's resting place. It was a beautiful straw hat with a wide brim and a bright yellow ribbon tied in a bow. Ana inspected the hat and placed it on her head making sure her ears fit, a common problem with hats for the Miqo'te, and smiled as it fit nicely.

 

Ana tried a few hats on finally deciding on one. It had a beautiful wine-red ribbon and an over sized bow with tails that hung off the edge of the large brimmed hat. As Ana gave the coins to the merchant she heard a familiar voice from a few stalls away. She thanked the merchant and started off in the direction of the familiar Lalafell's voice with her new purchase in hand.

 

As Ana reached the stall she saw the familiar Lalafell finish haggling with a merchant and reaching for her coin purse. "Miss Adagio!" Ana said with a smile in her voice. "How nice to meet you here. Purchasing things for the cook are you?"

Martsia beamed up at the professor in delight. 

 

"This axe is a double header, pure iron ore, none of that sand an other minerals stuff!" She said rapidly, the man at the shop grinned widely. "But!" She put it back down into its slot. "A pure iron weapon is prone to breakage! It looks pretty! But it only has a few true uses on the battlefield!" 

 

Mar looked over and picked up a more rustic looking axe and held it in her hands. 

 

"This one is heavier, which COULD be a disadvantage...but mix iron with carbon and ye get steel!! Heavier, but less breakage in true battle! I mean look at the bit! Great point on it right?! And look at the poll! Got a nice pointed blunt edge on it! Great for breaking...things!" She turned to the seller and handed over the Gil to pay for it and pulled Mordecai #12 off of her back hoister and held them out in comparison. Mordecai #12 looked beaten up within an inch of its life. "Mord12 is an iron sand mineral mix, it lasted a while...but Mord13 will last much longer!" Mar said attaching both to her holster and smiling at Jig. "Pretty nice stuff huh?!"

  • 2 weeks later...

The Professor was positively surprised by Martsia's sudden geek-talk, regardless of the subject being not his field of knowledge, nor interest. He tried, however, to retort.

 

"And what do you think about using Mythril? It's lighter and tougher than regular steel or iron. It doesn't need to be tempered much... and is no alloy. Pure destructive power in a blade even I'm capable o holding... Using it properly is other story. I just think axe suit you better, Miss Martsia. I'm impressed."

 

Despite warm words, Jigumundo spared Martsia any smile. He just looked at her with slightly squinted eyes and raised eyebrows. Professor proceeded to watch some other fine pieces of crafting the merchant had to offer but failed to find anything of his interest.

 

"This is a weapon stand... I need some alchemical reagents." - he mumbled to himself and turned away just to notice Ana.

 

"Look, Miss Martsia... isn't that Miss Ana?"

Melody gave the worked-over vendor a mischievous grin and tip-toed to shake his hand, sealing the deal.

 

"I knew we could come to an agreement." she rubbed it in his face.

 

Grumbling, the man barely even tried to reach over far enough to shake her tiny hand. She made sure to hop off her feet to forcibly grab it. This made him grumble even more, and give her a dark look.

 

"Miss Adagio!"

 

Melody stopped in the middle of counting out her Gil when she heard a familiar voice. "Hm?" she looked over her shoulder, turning in a small circle and scanning the crowd back and forth until her eyes found Ana walking towards her. Her face brightened and she waved her employee over.

 

"How nice to meet you here. Purchasing things for the cook are you?"

 

"Yes, and I just finished finalizing a deal for most of his list. There are a few things on it that are...let's just say, not normal." she showed Ana what she meant:

 

Morbul tentacles

Eft tongue

Chinchilla livers

Treant Sap

 

"Not sure if a couple of those things are really obtainable through legal means..." she looks over the items warily and quickly hides the list from any onlookers. The vendor was clearing his throat and tapping his foot, still waiting on the rest of his payment. "Oh, sorry. One moment, Ana." Melody turns back around to finish paying the man.

Ana quickly looked at the list Miss Adagio briefly showed her. As the sun kissed lalafell hid the piece of parchment Ana frowned saying "I'm familiar with the treant sap and the chinchilla liver but-" she paused as she thought of eating morborl tentacles or eft tongue. As she pictured these things Ana's nose scrunched up in disgust and her face turned a bit green. "-the other two do not sound appetizing at all. What does he plan on making with those items, some horrid concoction to make us all ill?"

 

As she waited for Miss Adagio to gather her things Ana placed her newly purchased hat upon her head and gently swayed while daydreaming. As the ribbons of her new hat danced in the wind with her garnet hair she thought of her mother's Trap Soup next to warm walnut bread. "Mmmm" she thought, unintentionally, out loud as her mouth started to water while thinking of the delicious meal.

"Mithril huh? Sounds pricey if you ask me...maybe when I'm a bit more...wealthy?" She said, looking away from the professors gaze. Why did he always seem to be glaring at people. When he mentioned that Ana was nearby she smiles and ran up to the other girl. 

 

"Ana! I didn't expect to see ye here!! Oh! Check out my new axe!" She beamed, holding it in front of her. She had to admit she'd been surprised with Jig's information about metals and such, but he probably used them for other weapons? It was at that point that she realized she didn't know a lot about him. What fighting style did he use? Was he really strong enough to protect Melody, or for Melody to feel safe around him? She snapped back to reality, looking back up at Ana expectantly.

Glares at Martsia for a bit thinking...

Certainly this girl can quickly loose her attention. What did she wanted with him anyway? Think's he's no good for Melody or something? Well... certainly there was some truth in that but he tries his best. A little vote of confidence will do him good.

 

Wait... what?

 

Jigumundo searched for Melody in this ruckus. There she was. Being clever as always. 

 

This girl is so sweet. What the hell even happened at that Ball, anyway, making Jig so soft and polite all of sudden!? Jigumundo never really cared about anyone in his life without few exceptions from the past, but now? What's with this girl? Looking at her is making his legs tremble and heart beating faster. And this feeling up in the stomach... annoying.

 

What the hell is he even thinking about?! Bomb! Think about the bomb!

 

Jig groaned quietly as coming towards Melody.

 

"Any good?" - He asked and gazed upon Ana. - "Oh... Hello Miss... Ana, was it?."

Melody traded the seller his payment for a finalized agreement and receipt of purchases. She rolled up the documents and added them to her satchel, feeling pleased with everything. 'Now just need to take care of Martsia's list...'

 

"Sorry about that, Ana." she notices the girl's new hat and sees her daydreaming about...something. Was that drool on her chin? "So...you're running some errands today too?" she tries to snap Ana out of whatever coma she's fallen into.

 

She turns to see Mar run over gushing about a shiny new axe and smiles, not understanding the geek talk behind it but pleased to see her so happy. She notices the Professor following Martsia at a walk, looking grumpy. They made eye contact and his look changed to something else...something that made her tummy flutter.

 

"Um..yes. Most of the food supplies are in order now. Did you find what you needed yet?" she answered his question, feeling awkward all of a sudden. She thought she felt her cheeks getting warm, but that might've just been her imagination.

 

"And yes, this is Ana. Don't tell me you forgot about the waitress training incident already?" she gets back to normal and teases him lightly.

 

All three Lalafells are looking at Ana now, two with eager attention and one with possibly some mild interest.

 

Sakura knocks on the Midnight Moogle's door leaving some cherry blossoms on the doorstep as she walks around the Mist, also leaving a note saying, "Hello fellow people! Please enjoy my blossoms!"

 

((Feel free to rope Sakura in lol))

 

((Yay! I'll see if I can work something in here with her. ^.^))

Ana was still dreaming when she heard several familiar voices and they all seemed to be directing questions towards her.

 

Ana blinked several times and shook her head a little to snap herself back to reality. She looked down to see the three lalafells all looking up at her and smiled not noticing the drool on her chin. "Oh! Most everyone is here it seems!" she beamed with delight to see her new friends looking excited to see her and bowed in greeting. She looked to Jig and then to Melody and inwardly smirked. It was cute how Jig and Melody never seem to be too far apart but still they had yet to announce they were officially dating. She was glad they all seemed so happy. "It's nice to see you again Mr. Jigumundo. Hello miss Martsia." she greeted with a happy chime.

 

"I'm just here picking up a few things to fix up that old garden out front. It's been quite an eye sore and it breaks my heart to see it being unused." she answered with a smile on her lips and in her eyes.

 

Ana looked to Martsia and the shimmering steel she held in her hand, "Another to add to your collection? What will you name this one, miss Martsia?"

Martsia beamed proudly and swung the axe around, placing it onto her back holster.

 

"Mordecai! Like all the others! Except this is better than the others! Except Mordecai number 8...he was a beauty! but I cracked it and had to get a new one!" She chattered on and on about axes and glanced past Ana, to a nearby stall selling food and heard her stomach grumbling. She hadn't had much food lately, so any and all food was tempting to her.

 

"ManI'mhungry..." she muttered.

Glaring at people (expect being creepy) had its benefits. Jigumundo was able to notice things, ordinary man couldn't like... sudden changes in women emotions. He could hear even the slightest sigh.

Well... now he heard a growl from the depths of seven hells which was actually Martsia's stomach.

 

He reached for his pouch to offer some food to girls. Then he noticed something. Food stand was just next to alchemy reagents. Was gods just mocking him?

 

Brimstone!

 

Breadrolls!

 

Distilled water!

 

Cinammon buns!

 

Bomb ash!

 

DODO STEAK!

 

BOMB PROJECT!

 

HAPPY MELODY!

 

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~!

 

"Let's go grab something to eat..." - he sighed and took his coin pouch.

Sakura and Solis are seen in the Lower Decks near the food stand, getting some groceries to bring back to their estate.

 

Solis: "Oh boy apples!"

Sakura: "Why are you so into apples now, Solis-san?"

Solis: "Blame Nik. His tastes are starting to rub off me. Now remember if you see a Lalafell, resist the urge to hug it. You might get hurt, and in the bad way."

Sakura: "Ah mou~ you're annoying Solis-san. I've been good so far right~?"

 

They get to the food stand to see there is only one apple remaining, and three Lalafells also got to the same food stand as the same time as them.

 

Solis: "Only one apple left? Agh I can't wait another sun for more!" [Thinking Gotta get this one before someone else takes it!]

 

Solis then tries to get the apple first before anyone else tries to, all the while Sakura trying to resist the urge to cuddle the three Lalafells silly.

 

((Want to start a comedic moment guys?? Solis trying to get the apple and Sakura trying not to strangle the Lalafells in hugs!))

"Let's see..." Melody looks for the cheapest items the food stand had to offer. She still felt bad for the Professor's coin pouch. Apples seemed to be a good price. Only one left. "I'll take a dinner roll and this apple." She tells the seller and reaches for the last juicy fruit.

 

Hearing footsteps and voices growing louder and closer, she turned to see two strange Hyurs coming this direction. She cocks her head and looks at them oddly, not really hearing what they are talking about. She doesn't like the look of the girl Hyur. That one was eyeing her and her friends funny.

 

"Here you go, miss." the sell hands her the fresh steaming dinner roll on a small napkin. Melody turns away from the strangers with the roll and the apple and moves aside for Mar to make her order.

Solis barely missed the apple, and it was taken by the Lalafell. With a comedic sad expression, he then asked the Lalafell as politely as he can be, which is not that polite.

 

Solis: "Um excuse me miss, I was here first and I was going to get that apple. May you perhaps..." He then reaches out his hand in a gesturing motion, wanting the Lalafell to give him the apple.

 

Meanwhile Sakura is hiding behind Solis, showing futile resistance to hug the extremely cute Lalafells. Quietly she says,

 

Sakura: "S-s-so c-c-cute...Just need....one hug....please...." Solis quickly slaps the sense into Sakura comedically (not seriously)

 

Solis, despite trying to be polite, is showing signs of anger, with an anger vein popping out of his head.

Ana didn't like the way the male Hyur looked at Melody and stepped between them. "Can I help you, sir?" she said curtly looking him in the eye. "I hope you don't mean to bother my friend," she eyed him carefully then suddenly changed into a smile and picked up a sunny yellow fruit from the cart.

 

"If I may make a suggestion though, an apple is great but the honey lemon here is what you should want right now," she motioned to the fruit in her hand. "They are at the peak of perfection right at this very moment. Oh!" she crooned "and these look to have been freshly picked this morning!" She turned with an excited and expectant expression to see the vender give her an odd look and a nod before she continued "Most don't know but this type of lemon isn't native to Eorzea. However, the only place they grow here is in Bloodshore basking in the warm sun of Costa Del Sol. They say this specific species is so sweet you can eat them raw!"

 

She spoke with such excitement over seeing the honey lemon she forgot she was holding a large woven basket and almost hit everyone near her with it as she went on and on. She also forgot that the Hyur wanted an apple or that he meant to take the one in Melody's hand.

 

Not barely moving from her spot Ana tossed a few coins on the counter for the lemon and took a nice big bite. The juice dribbled on her chin as she moaned with utter delight. She chewed slowly with her eyes closed, savoring every moment of Costa's heaven brought to her and sighed happily.

Martsia practically drooled when Ana bit into the fruit...but that would come later. She stepped beside Melody and drew her new axe. Ana was busy eating, and while she had stepped in, one more vague threat couldn't hurt against these hooligans.

 

 

"I should hope ye aren't bein threatenin to me best lass are ye?" She said stepping into attack formation in front of her friend, next to Ana. "Because there ain't any tolerance get harassin me friend...so either take ye hand away from her...or lose it. She bought it fair an square." She practically growled. No one threatened, scared, scratched, or hurt Melody on her watch.

Jigumundo sighed at the ridiculousness of this situation and stepepd towards food stand noticing some snacks being fruit slices on a stick covered in honey.

 

"No one's getting hurt today... believe me or not... I can't even bielieve I'm saying this..."

 

Jig tossed his entire coin pouch on the counter and pointed on previously spotted snacks.

 

"I want six of them..."

 

The Professor took some of them fruits-on-a-sticks and handled them to everyone.

 

"Here. Enjoy..."

 

His tone of voice being calm and yet resigned and cynical. Probably due to trying hard to be nice. He promised...

 

When he gave the snack to Sakura, Jig noticed her urge to cuddle him in her eyes.

 

"Don't you even think about it!" - Jigumundo furrowed with a slight threat in his voice.

Sakura eventually could not resist the cuddle. She pushes Solis and Ana out of the way and moves for the Lalafells

 

Sakura: "Ah I can't take it! SOO CUUTEE~!"

 

She then proceeds to hug all three of the Lalafells in her bosom really hard, wiggling them around comedically like plush dolls, all the while saying stuff like "CUTE!" and "Kawaii~".

 

Solis then regains himself and tries to restrain Sakura into letting go of the Lalafells, all the while with a comedically scared expression on his face.

 

Solis: "Stop it stop it Sakura! Let them go now! [to the Lalas] Oh gods I'm so sorry you three she really LOVES Lalafells! [back to Sakura, now her wiggling him around to let go of her] Gods damn Sakura just let...them...GO!"

 

Sakura: "NO~please Solis-san! Just a bit more~!" She immediately tackles Solis into a nearby stand making him a bit dizzy.

What was happening right now?

 

This thought was running through Melody's head as she was getting tossed around and squeezed much too tight.

 

Were they falling now? She lurched when the woman hugging them backwards tackled the man. All her food was getting crushed between her and the attacker.

 

"P-Please...let go.." she strained as her lungs emptied themselves of air. She wriggled around trying to break free, not really caring what parts of her captor's body she might be smooshed up against or kicking.

A tall, shirtless, tan figure browsing a weapons booth looked up at the sound of the commotion.

 

"What in the seven hells is going on?!" A'mon thought to himself, puzzling over the situation that the Lalafells and Hyur now found themselves in.

 

"Ahh, a confrontation, surely this day will not be as un-eventful as I had thou......*his thought interrupted halfway, upon seeing the hug attack upon the Lalafells* "WHAT's THIS?" He stood starring in disbelief....

 

Surely he thought he was about to see the situation come to blows, but now, now he didn't know what to think.

 

"Damn ocean folk" he muttered to himself, "can't even have a proper brawl, city-state of pirates and cutthroats, he disappointing".

 

Still, he watched on as the situation unfolded......

Ana wiped the juice from her chin as she finished her lemon and sighed happily. As she looked around she realized that the hyurs had gone right past her while she was eating.

 

Startled at the fact that she was so into the honey lemon that she tuned out and let the two slip past her, Ana whipped around to see her friends all being hugged to death. Think fast Ana, what would loosen the hyurs grip on them all? she stood there gazing on the scene and thought for a few seconds Lalafells, super cute. Oh! She maneuvered over behind all the lalafells in a flash to be sure her next words would be heard by the girl squeezing her friends. "Is that the Sultana?!" she pointed into the street said with as much enthusiasm as she could muster which may have been a little over the top since many people stopped and looked as well.

 

The distraction loosened her grip enough for Ana to extract the nearest lalafel. She picked up a silvery-white haired lalafell "Pardon me Mr. Jigumundo," she said, feeling odd for picking up the professor without permission "I'll-uh, just um-set you down here." She gave him an awkward smile, turned, and set him down outside the reach of the crazy lala-huggin' woman. She turned back to see if her distraction worked fully and if she would be able to rescue the others from the death hug.

Mar winced when this new woman came up and started hugging her. Being crushed along side her friends made her just a bit angry! She wished she could reach her new Mordecai, but it was strapped to her back.

 

"Augh! Let go o me ye great beast!!" She shouted, kicking the would be attacker. Hugs were not her thing...especially from people she hadn't met. "Mel! Are ye okay?" She gasped out.

Something was in the air. It was getting hotter and hotter. Was it the weather...

 

"Oh no..." - Melody noticed a slight twitch on Jig's eyelid after he was put down to the ground by Ana. The sparks jumping on his body were also noticeable as well as pebbles shaking next to Jig. Few fruits on the stand popped spreading juice all over the shopkeeper. An unlit torch bursted with fire...

 

"A 'Pardon'...?" - Jig muttered through teeth. "A 'Pardon'. Doesn't. Give. Me. Justice." Sparks that were dancing on his body turned into small flames. Light reflecting from his huge spectacles covered his eyes entirely.

 

Something WAS in the air. Aether to be specific...

Sakura let go of the two remaining Lalas after her left upper breast catches an ember in order to put it out. Meanwhile the apple popped with its juices all over the place, some of it reaching Solis. After he regains himself, he licks the apple juice and with a surprised face he sees Sakura's breast burn and with a comedic expression he sees the popped apple.

 

Solis: "Sakura! MY APPLE!"

Sakura: "Ow...you meanie! Solis-san~!" She turns around to find a super angry Solis with a comedic fiery aura. Comedically scared she asked "S-Solis-san? Are you all right? Solis-san?"

 

A raging flame can be seen in Solis's angry eyes. He looks around to find the flames around Jig and immediately dashes towards him, grabbing and shaking him comedically in anger.

 

Solis: "Gods damn it you little bastard! Look what you did! You burned my friend and worse, YOU POPPED MY APPLE! YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!!!"

 

Sakura: "Stop it Solis-san let go of him! Please stop!"
