Causeway & onto the mainland, Saturday

Romeo fidgeted slightly with his jacket as he waited at the causeway. It was a cool day, but he hoped the sunny weather would hold as they headed to the mainland and to Fécamp for shopping.

[OOC: For a few, everything after the first thread NFB due to distance. And yes, I am OCDing this for, like, three characters. I may be insane.]

Dōjima was practically bouncing. "This is the best ever," she said, peering at one of the exhibits. "Can we forcibly relocate them on to the island? Please?"

"Perhaps we could bribe them into it," Romeo suggested. "Or get the banana stand place to carry these as a second line."

He nuzzled her neck. "I like the boat showing how chocolate gets across the seas."

The nuzzling was nice, and Dōjima giggled quietly. "I think I like it all! Just watch, I'm going to end up splurging and spending way too much in the gift store. I totally need to pick up something for Jen here, she'll be so jealous."

The giggling, of course lead to more nuzzling. "And we should get things for our cabinmates. Worf fed me pie yesterday, I ought to be at least as hospitable."

More nuzzling led to Dōjima squirming slightly, and giggling more. "Careful, I hear that French chocolate is quite the aphrodisiac, you wouldn't want Worf to get the wrong idea, now would you?" she teased.

Romeo flailed, at some combination of her words, the giggle, and the squirm. "Perhaps something not chocolate for Worf."

"Something not chocolate," she mused, looking around. "That may be a bit hard, considering where we are. A cookbook, perhaps?"

"I'll get a wee animal for everyone in my cabin," Romeo decided. "If they have an aphrodisiac effect, I'll come hide in yours and let them molest one another."

"Just watch, now it will happen," Yurika warned him. "That's how these things work. I suppose I'll have to keep you in my alcove until it passes!"

"You say that as though I should object," Romeo said. "Though, with four girls and two boys, and one of them an alien, the numbers would be a bit off without me in the cabin."

"I'm sure the boys would manage," she joked, rolling her eyes. "Although your willingness to sacrifice your own safety to help them is duly noted."

"One always wishes to be noble in the line of duty."

"Riiiiight," Dōjima drawled, poking at his arm before moving off to look at the next display. "Luckily, you've got more than enough honor and nobility for both of us."

"Oh my gosh, I may never come down from the sugar rush again," Rikku sighed, happily. "Do you think you can OD on chocolate?"

"Impossible," Dōjima scoffed. "There is no such thing as too much chocolate. Even thinking such a thing is sacrilege!"

"Do I need to appease the chocolate gods now?" Rikku grinned. "I wonder if they'd take an offering of me, splurging on way too much of it."

"Your devotion is duly noted," she intoned seriously, waving one hand in the air. "For penance, you must try three new types of bon-bons, and drink the sacrificial chocolate liquor."

See? Dōjima had paid attention to the nuns at her schools. Kinda.

Rikku nodded solemnly and performed the only religious gesture she knew: the symbol of Yevon, which Tidus had told her was the blitzball sign for victory, in old Zanarkand. Hey, she killed Yevon, she could totally make fun of his religious symbols, right?

And then she drank the liquor - still solemn - and looked over the rows of bon-bons. "Damn. 'New' means I have to remember which ones I've tried already, huh?"

"You could just get a few different types?" Dōjima suggested. "Then no one can accuse you of trying to shirk your duty!"

This coming from the girl who already had two boxes of chocolates in her basket, and was looking greedily at the chocolate-covered fruit. "Oooo...strawberries or cherries?"
