[Insert witty, fantastic setting details here. Seriously, all you really need to know is that it's a festival. A MONTH LONG festival with Fireworks happening every night once Darkness falls.]
[Oh good, she managed to find the one person who would want this adorable stuffed monstrosity. Holding it out quickly to her friend, she gave Aerith a big cheesy grin.]
Awesome, so that means you want it right? Carrying this thing area is ruining my rep, you know.
[Girl has to keep up her appearances! And in this case, her appearance should be 'bad ass'. Big fuzzy pink bears would not help her with this.]
Yeah who knows what'll happen if people think I'm all soft and girly inside.
[Which she so is not. ]
I won it over at some booth back...somewhere. I have all kinds of crap!
[This is when she gets excited and starts pulling out small things - a kazoo, a finger trap, some containers of gel type stuff that made funny noises when she poked her finger in it. And a random wallet falls to the ground.
She's quick to swipe it up and continues talking.]
Easy to win these kid games anyway.
[Or she might have just ganked it all, who knows?]
So what kind of rep are you building with that kind of wallet, Yuffie? I didn't think that was your style. Is pickpocketing a kid game now?
[ "some booth...somewhere". Awfully vague, and Aerith gives the big bear a dubious and slightly mournful look. And then...shoves it back toward Yuffie. Warning, incoming pink!]
I'm not sure I can take this! [ NO GIVING HER STOLEN STUFF, YUFFIE. Unless it was like...ripped off a sleaze, but she's more worried this was for another girl or a kid. ]
[loloops Yuffie has no shame! She pushes the bear back toward Aerith, so it's like reverse tug-of-war. No way in hell was she taking that scary thing back.]
Hey hey, it's a hard life in the wild for a ninja! Besides, I won this fair and square. The guy just shoved it at me and closed his booth, I guess I was just too awesome.
[Actually no, it was one of those 'throw the ball at the bottles and knock them down' things. She was throwing them so hard they were bouncing all over the tent, and for his own safety he gave her the bear and shut down the game.]
Anyway, I only swiped the wallet 'cause I was bored. I'll give it back. Not like the guy had a lot of money anyway.
Aerith starts pushing back, but... hesitates. Well, Yuffie's probably...not telling the 100% gospel truth there, but Aerith's pretty sure she can trust it was given to her.
For one reason or another. ]
You promise? [ She does want the fluffy thing, so long as its not ruining anyone's day for her to have it, so she stops the reverse tug-of-war. ...And reaches with its arm to poke Yuffie's cheek with one stuffed pink paw. She can't help being a little silly. ] I'll keep it, then. There's a lost and found, let's turn the wallet in there.
[This is Yuffie putting a hand over her heart and reciting an age old promise.]
Cross my heart and hope to...
[Awkward.]
...uh yeah I promise. And I guess I could turn in this thing in.
[She produces the wallet from out of thin air. It's a neat magic trick she's learned at this place. She wants to learn so much more - she can have a second career as magician. ]
Lead the way! I have no idea where the Lost and Found is.
[ Awwwwwkwaaard. Aerith's eyebrows knit together as she follows what Yuffie was going to say; though she looks annoyed for a second, she lets it go with a tiny sigh, smiling again. That smile turns to a little "o" of surprise when the wallet appears just like magic. ]
Wow! Picking up more sleight of hand, I see. That was pretty good.
Oh--the Lost and the Found is in the center of things, though it's kind of small. Easy to miss. You think a Lost and Found would be easier to find... C'mon, it's this way.
Yup, I just need to learn how to make rabbits appear and I'm golden!
[Not that she has a hat to have pull them out of, but she could find a substitute somewhere. Maybe she could relieve a certain friend of theirs of his cape. That could hide lots of things!]
They probably hide the Lost and Found so it can't ever be found. So they can keep all the stuff.
[That's what she would do anyway. So she follows behind Aerith, mentally judging each person they passed to see if they would be an easy mark.
Not that she was going to pickpocket or anything. That usually got pretty boring - it was always too easy.]
[ Including Yuffie herself when Vincent came for his cape? ]
Sneaky! But there's no hiding from a sharp-eyed flower girl.
[ She's occasionally looking back at Yuffie--better not be snitching stuff with her right here!--but for the most part she's simply looking around the fair. ]
Maybe you could set up your magician act here. It doesn't seem like the festival's ending anytime soon.
[Vincent would never find her when she hid in his the magic cape!]
Yeah, I can't get much past you. Pretty easy to pull things over with everyone else.
[There's some respect in that statement, seriously. Anyway, Yuffie's twirling the wallet around her fingers as they draw closer to the elusive Lost & Found.]
Maybe I can! Then I can get a huge following of admirers. They'll make fanclubs about me and wear my face on their shirts.
[It takes her a moment to remember some SOLDIERs had such fanclubs, and she rolls her eyes.]
Actually, I can just do without the club and shirts. Don't want my face everywhere, ninjas have to blend in.
[Success! She gives Cloud a knowing look, grabbing some of the candy herself and nomming it.]
Yeah, it's pretty good. There's also this cotton candy stuff somewhere. They never let me have this stuff when I was little so I'm taking advantage now!
[Guess who is going to have a sugar high soon? You might want to run away, Cloud. Or knock her out at least.]
[Yuffie has the feeling she needs to force Cloud to have fun. Which does involve some destruction, but who isn't into that?]
Sure you do! I have a tolerance, and building it up is very important. Just in case you find yourself in places like this. Gotta plow through all the good food!
[He can imagine her plowing— although it's more of a literal 'plow' through all the food stands in the area. Still, she's saying it like he didn't hit up a couple places for food. He crosses his arms.]
I tried a couple stands already. It wasn't bad. [A pause before he adds:] I could go for another round, though.
[She would probably mow down some stalls in the process, but it's all in the name of eating good! She nods with approval at his words, her eyebrows raised in challenge.]
Yeah? Good. I need an eating partner. Sticking to stuff that isn't too sweet is the trick - all that cotton candy and stuff can be last.

[ huge stuffed bear. and it's pink. How could Aerith not love it? ]

Awesome, so that means you want it right? Carrying this thing area is ruining my rep, you know.

oh. Yep, she shouldn't be surprised with that kind of explanation. ]
And goodness knows we can't let your rep get ruined. [ She gives Yuffie a look around that stuffed monstrosity, amused. ] Did you win it just now?
no subject
Yeah who knows what'll happen if people think I'm all soft and girly inside.

That's my name, don't wear it out!
[With that, she shoves a hand into her pouch, coming up with a bag of rock candy and holding it out to Cloud with an expectant look on her face.]
Eat this. It's weird as hell but so tasty.
no subject
....
no subject
I mean, if you're scared to eat it I get that. It's hard to keep up with a fearless ninja like me.
[Om nom nom rock candy]
no subject
It really does look strange. A lot of edges. He warily takes a bite -- it's harder than he thought -- and crunches it.]
...it's sweet.

no subject
How much have you had so far?
no subject
Not that much, but I'm going to fix that soon. See there's cotton candy and these crazy things call funnel cakes that I'm going to eat.
[She gives Cloud a narrowed eye look.]
You know, you probably need more sugar in your diet.
whoops, late tag! :(
I don't think I need as much sugar as you.
It's all good \o/
Sure you do! I have a tolerance, and building it up is very important. Just in case you find yourself in places like this. Gotta plow through all the good food!
[Plow is an appropriate term for her plans.]

[She makes food eating battle plans, go figure.]
