my kingdom for a stain stick

[charcoalfeather]

Who: Rakka and YOU
Where: Woodend town
When: July 27th,
What: Rakka goes shopping to deal with some serious stains
Status: Open

Of all the major problems that popped up recently, after the abrupt appearance of the green blobs of slime that amassed around the world, Rakka's problem of the moment was the stains. The slimes were easily "defeated"... sometimes by slipping on them, and could be cleared away, at least. Green stains were the worst though. She'd gotten it out of her wings at least, (thanks Raye.) But because she was distracted with other things, her clothes were looking less then spectacular.

Thanks, Raye.

So, it was a quick motorcycle ride later (again, thanks Raye!) and she was in that little town that Rakka journeyed to, every so often to get supplies. The people knew her there, and she was on a mission now: to get the best cleaning supplies she could find!

So she's strolling around the town, checking most of the stores it offers, asking a few questions, maybe making a purchase or two. Currently, she'll be seen sitting at a cafe seated near the center of town, having taken a break to eat a sandwich. Seems she had forgotten to eat today in her hast. She swallows and sighs, looking slightly dejected.

"Hmm... Nothing yet..."

Before Rakka really finished, Jasmine had an idea.

"Wait wait wait," she said. "We're both going in the same direction. And as far as we know, the slime just sits there and doesn't get up and dance or anything. So why don't we stick together for the rest of my shopping and then head back together?"

[charcoalfeather]

She sees that idea light up in Jasmine's eyes, and instantly wonders just what she was thinking of now.

"...Careful you don't jinx it, Jasmine." That would just be the worst. She put on a smile at the suggestion, though. "Well, I did come here with Raye... but we can keep hanging out while we're looking."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine just chuckled. "Nice turnabout there, Rakka. You're getting better at this."

She nodded. "Alright then! Just finish your coffee and we'll head on out?"

[charcoalfeather]

"Hehee, you think?" She's trying... the adorable thing.

"Right!" And to speed things along, she's just going to try and drink that coffee quicker. That lasts for a few seconds before she sets it down again. "Ow, ow, ow!"

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine laughed nervously as she saw Rakka nearly burn herself. "See, there you go. You roll right back into goofy little sister status."

And... she's just going to pat Rakka on the head for emphasis.

[charcoalfeather]

Rakka pouted, and immediately tried to not pout because she was an adult gosh darnit. She was nineteen years old, she could drive if she wanted to, which she doesn't.

"But... I'm nineteen!" She whined, like a true adult.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

"Being a little sister is about more than age," Jasmine replied, with a huge grin. "Take it from Lily's little sister... it's a state of mind."

[charcoalfeather]

"My... state of mind?" You're talking to an only child here, Jasmine. Rakka puts on a tiny smile, at least. "I guess that makes sense. Usually I'd have to have an oneesan."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

"Eh, let's be real," Jasmine replied with a quick giggle. "Lily and Winter are like everyone's big sisters anyway...!"

[charcoalfeather]

"Hehe! They can be." She giggles at that. Heaven knows that the group of Precure was more like a family now then before. "We really are more then a team."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

"That's right, we are."

Jasmine paused, as something came to mind. "Hey, did you manage to get Raye and your fairy partner to get along?"

[charcoalfeather]

"Huh? Ohh... Well, they kept arguing for a little while, but I got them to stop for now?"

She leaned back in her chair, letting her gaze go upwards to the clouds above.

Rakka sighs. "I don't know when it's going to stop."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine sighed. She adored Raye, but she could be really stubborn.

"You know, the offer to talk to them is still open..." she said.

[charcoalfeather]

Rakka adored her too, which made it even harder.

"I know." She states quietly. "But... I want them to figure it out on their own, too. I think they can get along just fine, if they really try it."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

"... Okay, but I'm not really saying I'll solve all their problems," Jasmine replied. "Just give them a kick in the ass, you know?"

[charcoalfeather]

"I know." Rakka said, a little laugh in her tone. "I'll let you know if you ever need to do that, Jasmine."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine nodded. "Okay. I just want what's best for all of you. Sorry if I come off as kind of a control freak..."

[charcoalfeather]

"Jasmine..." Rakka sighs. "You don't have to apologize. How about we start shopping again?"

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine ended up staring for a minute, before sighing, and nodding.

"You're right. I'll stop kicking myself in the butt like this. You done with your coffee then?"

[charcoalfeather]

"I can bring it along." No sense in drinking it too fast, right? She'd already burned her tongue once. Rakka smiles excitedly. "Time for Cure Feather and Cure Twilight to do some awesome normal stuff."

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine laughed at that, and stood up. "Let's wage a war on low, low prices."

[charcoalfeather]

"And take no prisoners?"

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Jasmine chuckled. "We can show mercy... if we so choose."

[charcoalfeather]

"Leave none standing." A pause. "Well, maybe not. Pushing people over would be rude."
