Joy nodded, "Yeah, I like the idea of having different outfits but...I wish the damn game would let us put them on instead of just<em>poofing</em>, like you said."  She sighed and then shrugged and selected her default outfit, therefore not changing at all.  She smiled at Aika, "That outfit really looks good on you, girl.  I'm sure you'll get used to them."<br/><br/>The map and everything else zoomed away and they found themselves standing on a sidewalk of the Shopping District.  She thought she recognized it as one of the areas that they had fought in the previous day.  "This...looks familiar.  I think we cleared it out, didn't we?"  They started walking down the street, seeing other people going about their business.  Despite her outlandish outfit, nobody was really paying them much attention.<br/><br/>Time got sort of...stretchy after that.  There were scenes of the two of them talking to various people, but they weren't even speaking.  It was like they were seeing themselves and the others that they were speaking with.  There was also a sense of mounting frustration.  Finally, they seemed to be back to themselves.  The sun was much higher in the sky than it had been when they started.  "Ugh, all that and nothing!"  She sighed.  "Why am I so bad at this?"<br/><br/>She was on her own and she spotted Aika down the street talking to a trio of young women.  She turned to head that way when a voice called out, "Hey, hey, pretty girl!  You, the blonde!"<br/><br/>Joy stopped and turned back, her eyes narrowing, "Buddy, you try to cat call me and-"<br/><br/>"You're gorgeous!"  She blinked as she found herself face to face with a pair of high school boys.  The one who'd called out to her and spoke grinned, "Hey, did you hear about<tt class="bbc_tt">THE LAGOON</tt>?"  Something about the way he said it caught her ear and she shook her head.  "Oh, it's the coolest club around!  It got shut down by the Fangs, but since they got pushed out, it's opening up tonight!  You should totally apply!"<br/><br/>His friend, who was openly staring at Joy's tits, nodded.  "Y-yeah, um, I hear it's a top-tier club.  And they pay people who work there real well."<br/><br/>"You should apply!"  The first boy nodded, "You'd look just perfect in a place like that."<br/><br/>"Huh.  Maybe I will.  Thanks, you two."  She crossed her arms under her breasts and quirked an eyebrow, "But shouldn't you be in school?"  The two boys shrugged and blushed and she shook her head, "Get out of here!  And don't call out to girls like that again, be more respectful!"  The two laughed and backed off.  Joy sighed and turned again and walked down the street to Aika.  "Hey.  Turns out there's a club re-opening tonight now that the<em>tongs</em>are on the run.<tt class="bbc_tt">THE LAGOON.</tt>It may be worth looking into."<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">RUMOR ADDED<br/>&gt; THE LAGOON</tt>
