Backwater Nexus. Mall. Let's Rock and Ride!

[misslucysleeches]

Lucy approaches the mall with just a little trepidation, smoothing out her dress (bright green with yellow flowers on the skirt -- and it's just over knee length, so a certain little pitcher needn't worry if she's around tonight) and making sure her hair is pulled back neatly in its ponytail. Silver's mention of the Rock N Ride nights at the mall stuck with her even after her return to her own world. So, after a rather annoying day trying to make sure her passport was up-to-date, she's decided it's time to seek out some fun and see what else this Nexus has to offer. "Just hope they accept regular old American dollars," she mumbles, patting her purse by her side as she reaches the front entrance. (Nothing in her vast array of literature suggested they wouldn't, but discretion, valor, etc.)

Tiny hands grip hers as the stubby-winged baby bot clicks triumphantly and gives her a massive, confident grin that shows all of three teeth.

Scarlett curses softly in Japanese, then tosses Kumouri over to Susana as everyone else in the group steps back with relief at the safe ending of the leap. "Darn little scraps think they can already fly."

"Fly!" asserts Kagerou proudly.

Lucy does not return the grin, opting instead to give the little one a "gee, thanks for that moment of terror" look as she hoists him more securely into her arms. "Hi," she says blandly.

She shakes her head at Kagerou's claim. "Not flying. Falling with style," she says, figuring if such a phrase is good enough for Pixar, it's good enough for her.

Kagerou blinks at her, but then grins again and gives her a hug. "Finity 'n be'ond!"

"You alright?" asks Scarlet wryly.

"Oh, you know that movie," Lucy says with a laugh. "Well, you're no Buzz Lightyear yet, mister."

"Yeah, fine," Lucy assures her. "Just glad I got my hands on him before he clonked down."

"Buzz Righthear." Kagerou snuggles.

"He'd've bounced." Despite her tough and sass attitude it's clear that Scarlet is glad that Kagerou didn't need to display that durability.

"Sheesh," says Raoul softly. "He mixes up his Rs 'n Ls already."

"Bounced and maybe broken his bum," Lucy comments, looking down at him. "And how would you have fared with a broken bum, hmm? Mr. Buzz?"
