He really wanted to see her in the first dress. And he sensed that she liked it as well. But he didn't want to insist. It may be more expensive and a great deal fancier and extravagant, but he didn't want her feeling uncomfortable either.
"Well..okay. If this is the one you'd prefer."
He took two of the gowns from the rack and an eager sales clerk led her to the dressing rooms. "I guess this is where I hide outiside?" he said with a lopsided grin. "After all, it's bad luck to see the gown before the wedding day."
He left the store, giving her a small peck on the cheek before doing so. He sat on a bench outside the store, hands folded behind his head. He shook his head at the strangely attired people as they hurried by. Why were people so oblivious? They walked about like a bunch of sleepwalking cattle. Or sheep. Yeah...sheep. Passive, oblivious, consumerist sheep.

Roze smiled at Kimblee. "Only if you want to, Kimblee-kun." she said, returning his peck on the cheek. "Though I don't believe in that one, I guess it might be..." she continued, making her way to the back to try on the dress. She found that it fit like a charm, like it was made for her specifically. She nodded to the clerk, who put it away in a box, and walked back to the first dress, the one that Kimblee wanted. "I'm going to suprise him with this dress instead. However, don't put that one back up for sale too quickly, unless he comes back." The clerk nodded, and smiled knowingly. She took Roze back to try the other dress, and it fit even better than the first, as if she were meant to wear it. "I'll take this one instead." The clerk nodded, and called Kimblee back in, assuming that he was going to pay. The dress was in the box, but with the second one's pay card, since the clerk was trying to play along as long as possible. "Now, no peeking, Kimblee, not until the wedding."

He raised his brow suspiciously as he glanced back and forth between Roze and the clerk. His masculine sense was tingling, the one that detected the thick, mysterious air of hidden secrets between women. Yep..he wasn't gonna go there. He kept his mouth shut; he knew it was best for a man to stay out female mysteries.
They picked out a nice pair of matching shoes and made a few pit stops for last minute things; a bouquet of flowers made up of dusty antique pink rose buds embellished with babies breath.
On the ride home, he finally spoke up with a chuckle, "Too bad me and Scar dont get along. He's a priest. Wouldn't that be a trip? For Scar to officiate our nuptials?"
They finally arrived at the large mansion and he helped her out after climbing out his window. He was definitely getting a new car.

OoC: Gonna post as Riza soon?
Roze smiled at Kimblee, knowing that he thought something was up. She walked out of the store with him, and entered the car. They stopped and got everything needed for a wedding. When Kimblee spoke, she smiled again. "Maybe I could talk to him- and he'd do it for me?" When they arrived back at the house, Roze walked into the house and looked around for Riza, and found her talking to Dante and another little girl, one she's only seen a few times. "Riza, you know where Scar is?" she asked the Deputy. She figured she'd know, because of Riza's personality.

*Clause*
"I could tell you that, too, from looking at it," Clause noted. "But if it's been used, it must have seen some blood, in ancient times. And who said that fighters never took care of their armour? Just because there's no blood doesn't mean there wasn't fights it witnessed, because the blood could've been washed off." Clause once again belied her rather girlish-looking appearance, with her small frame and white dress. Her knowledge in things like armour seemed like something that shouldn't be...
"Hey, could you become my guardian? Or at least, somebody here, so I can see you more often? My school doesn't quite like that I have no listed guardian, and I've been living at a orphanage for now..." She realized her question was quite blunt, but she couldn't help herself- the orphanage just made her feel too... hopeless and sad...

((OOC: Dante lives!! Now if only she'd appear in Brotherhood...))
Dante closed her book and set it aside, then shut her eyes and rested her head against the chair. "What an exhausing day..." she sighed. "Perhaps I should call the hospital and see how Nikolai is doing? It's been an awfully long time."
-------------------------------------------------------
Dahlia pinched her nose and made a face at the body. "Eww! It smells... Cool, but stinky!"
--------------------------------------------------------
Magrace remained completely still and listened as they spoke. "Would these fools hurry up and leave all ready? I have business to attend to, and I can't do anything with them floundering about at random," he thought to himself bitterly.

"Dead things tend to rot, Dahlia." Arden said, speaking as though she were talking to a very slow child. Which, she kinda was.
"What are you doing?" The voice was that of Kevin MacRustle, and was something Arden was very happy to hear. She ran over to her "boyfriend", wrapping her arms around his waist.
-------------
Having grown bored with trying to look for his stuffed koala, Nikolai quickly found a new way to entertain himself. Unfortunately, it involved chewing the hell out of the hospital issue mattress. "It tastes like somebody died on this thing" he muttered, spitting out a piece of foam. Of course, somebody likely did die on that mattress.
"Stop that" Martel scolded the young boy, smacking him on the back of the head. "I can't exactly afford to buy a new bed for this place, you know" she told her son, who just stared at her for a few moments before pulling a spring out from the mattress and starting to gnaw it.

((OOC: Apologies for the wait, Kimblee! I didn't see that Riza was talking to the ol' hag))
Dahlia smiled at the boy when she saw him. "Hai!" she greeted him chipperly, waving.
-----------------------------------------
Dante glanced around for her cellphone, but frowned when she saw that it was on the coffee table. Instead of leaning forward to get it, she sank back into her chair and closed her eyes again. "Too far away.... I'm sure he's fine."
Before she could get back to sleep, she heard someone address her. She lazily opened an eye and quirked a brow when she saw Riza Hawkeye standing before her. The two rarely ever spoke, so needless to say she had not expected to see her. "Hmm... Indeed, not everyone is pulling their weight around here nowadays. I'll be sure to speak with Scar about your idea; I don't see why we couldn't give it a shot."
------------------------------------------
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door to Nikolai's room. "Can I come in?"

"Hey Dahlia. Hey Poke" Kevin said, waving to Dahlia and giving Arden a kiss on the forehead. "What have you been up to?"
"I hanged a gopher this morning. Hid it in Dante's closest." Arden answered with a coy smile.
-------------------
"Come in?" Martel said, somewhat hesitantly when the door was knocked. She assumed any doctors/nurses would simply come in. So, she wasn't sure if anyone was supposed to come in. Still, she doubted letting the person in would cause much harm.
--------------
Meanwhile, at the jail, Mikey was trying to chat with his cellmate.
"Why were you thrown in here, my good fellow?" he asked a tall man with tattoos and scars on his arms and chest.

Dahlia gave her friend a surprised look. "You hung a gopher in my mommy's closet? She isn't gonna be happy..."
--------------------------------------
Charlotte opened the door and came inside, giving them a friendly smile. She was wearing her usual forest green dress, and in her arms was a large gift basket full of stuffed animals and all sorts of treats.
"Sorry to bother you, but I was doing errands in town and I thought I'd see how little Nikolai was doing," she said warmly, adjusting the basket in her arms. "And I thought he could use a little present after all he's been through."
Ami stood at the doorway with her hands on her hips, the usual grim expression on her face. "Don't be too long, sister. Visiting hours are almost over."
-----------------------------------------
The thug gave him a glare. "Arson and dealin' to minors. What's it to you?"

"Don't worry, I took it out. I just did the actual hanging in your mom's closet" Arden said, waving her hand.
-------------------------
Nikolai nodded slightly at Charlotte. However, he quickly walked past her and over to Ami.
"I'm not sure how much he actually likes the toys, Charlotte. All I know is they won't last long" Martel told her neighbor. That was a very true statement: somehow the stuffed toys would be totalled in a few days time.
----------------
"Murdering of fifty-one children under the age of three. Or, that's what they all say. However, I believe I saved all those children. They were very ill, with illnesses like cancer, and malaria, and the avian flu" Mikey said with a shrug.
He smirked at the thug's second question. "I am only curious, dear man. After all, if you were jailed unjustly, shouldn't you be allowed to leave?"

Dahlia nodded. "Oh, okay then."
----------------------------------------------
Charlotte laughed and shook her head. "Oh, I know. Hopefully he'll take a liking to something in there, but if not I'm sure he'll be happy to have something to chew on."
Ami looked down at Nikolai and narrowed her eyes when she recognized him. "...Oh, it's the boy who made a mess in my shop. Lovely"
----------------------------------------------
The thug gave him a confused look. "Da hell...? I guess man, I don't know."

Nikolai didn't say anything. Rather, he just wrapped his arm around Ami's leg, using the other to pull up her shirt. After that, he simply bit down onto the exposed skin.
-----------------------
"Like me, how was what I did a crime? Those children would have died anyway. Granted, my latest victim was healthy when I killed him, but....that's how it goes" Mikey said, shaking his head slightly. "Would you like to meet my employer?"

Sarai
She was taken by surprise at the little girls forthright question, "Oh..wow..I sure didn't see that coming!" She wasn't sure if the girl meant her or Barry, but either way, the poor little urchin needed an adult to care for her. "Well, I come from a large family. I know how to care for children. And maybe Barry could help me."
She glanced at Barry for confirmation.
Riza
After ironing out a few details with Dante she made a mental note to make an outline on simple house and food rules to present to Scar and Dante. It was about time more people started pulling their weight, not just money-wise, but housework as well.
She blinked and turned to Roze, who had an armload of packages, and Kimblee as well. "Well, Dante would be the one to ask. I have my hands full with a husband and child of my own." she answered with a smile.
She excused herself and made her way to the kitchen, bringing Hikari with her. She sat down and began to jot notes while speaking to the young girl, "Now...a girl your age doesn't need to worry about working and supporting herself." she advised, "You do, however, need to be enrolled in school. But I like that have a work ethic, that's good."
Kimblee
He'd already weaseled his way out of asking Riza to witness the nuptials, and he wasn't about to skulk and cower to avoid Scar. It was time to man up. He spoke up, addressing the ol' hag. "Ms Dante," he said, "Scar's a priest, right? Think he can perform our wedding? I'll even pay him if he wants."
He slid the one free arm that wasn't loaded down with packages around Roze's waist. "I'm fixin' to marry this sweet little lamb." he said with a goofy grin, face flushed. He wasn't used to being in love or trying to be a 'nice guy' and he felt like a total goober. But for Roze, he'd be a goober if he had to.

(OoC: I'm waiting for Barry to post Before posting as Clause again. And next time, I'll try to remember the PM'ing thing. Gomen nasai! >.<)
*Roze*
Roze nodded to Riza, and then turned to Dante, and felt Kimblee worm a hand around her while she was carrying items, and smiled. She heard him ask about Scar, and was rather impressed that he'd actually ask about someone that scared him. "Kimblee... I say you're manning up." she teased him. However, she also shook her head at the "payment" part. "I don't think it should resort to that. But if that's what it takes- which I doubt- I'll go along with it. Just because Scar's the only one who won't ask questions about where we're from and all that stuff."
*Hikari*
Hikari listened to the pink-haired lady and shook her head. "I don't know either..." She also heard Dante speak, and she actually seemed... nice. However, before she could ponder why, Riza took Hikari to the kitchen, and gave her a pep talk. "What school's going to take me at my age? I know next to nothing about this world, coming here only a short while ago. However, things like math and language, I know... but not necessarily this world's language." Hikari sighed. "If I felt comfortable, I would go, but I don't know where to start. I'm not dumb, so I can't pass as that, since I'd learn quickly about the past and things here." At least she's left me alone about where I got the money from... Though I wonder why... It's not like any place will take a fifteen year-old... and I know, because I've looked... Hikari looked away from Riza at that thought, as if trying to dissuade the officer from asking something.

Dante folded her arms on her lap and gave him a confused look. Although she rarely interacted with Kimblee, she could see that he was nothing like the man Pride had told her about long ago. Here he was with an arm wrapped around the girl she had targeted as her next host body, and he wanted Scar to marry them. She would have never expected it.
"You're marrying Rose, are you? Congratulations. I'm sure Scar would be honored to oversee the ceremony. I'll have a word with him when I next see him."
She reached for her drink then and took a small sip. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my nap. It's been a long day for me."
---------------------------------------------
Charlotte chuckled at the sight. "I should have warned her..."
Ami snarled and pulled him away, then carried him over to Martel and placed him in her arms. "Keep your boy under control, would you?" she sighed, reaching for a tissue to clean her wound.
--------------------------------------------
"Your employer? Why the hell would I wanna meet your employer?" the thug asked, giving him a nasty look. "And in case you didn't notice, we're locked away in a goddamn cell."

"I thought girls liked it when you tried to eat them out. That's what dad said" Nikolai said with a frown.
Martel paled slightly at her son's words. No child under the age of ten should know the phrase "eat out", even if they didn't understand what it meant.
-------------------------
"I am not unprepared, my good man." Mikey said, reaching into his pants. Looking to make sure they were ungaurded, he pulled out what looked like a long, thin wire with a hook at the end. "I escaped once, I can escape again."
