[This is not what she had planned. Most certainly not. When Perona told Kuma where she wanted to go, she made it very clear that a dark, desolate castle would be the ideal place, not the middle of a frozen lake. Or, really, a half frozen lake. Not only that, but somehow she got booted so hard it...knocked her clothes off? Or something. There had to be some explanation for the flimsy piece of white cloth she was wearing instead of her usual ensemble. Oh, that big brute is going to pay for this.

...Once she gets to safety.

;A;]

This isn’t where I wanted to go to at all! What part of this place even remotely resembles where I told that horrible giant I wanted to go to?! I-I’m going to die here! I’ll really die! [Perona whimpers, laying herself flat on her pitiful ice slab, creeping as far as she could along the cold, icy surface. She lets out a blood-curdling scream when her whole arm submerges on a patch of thin ice, and scrambles to a thicker, sturdier spot, curling up onto herself. She hasn't yet noticed the journal recording her, nor the wings. There are other pressing matters to focus on.]

Waaah, Bearsy! Help me! Someone, please, help me! I don’t want to die for real this time! I don’t want to die! Bearsy! [She whimpers again, sniffling as well.] I-If it wasn’t for those stupid Straw Hats and that dumb Long-Nose, none of this would have happened! I would have never had to leave Thriller Bark, and I wouldn’t be stuck here, either! WHY AM I HERE?! AND WHERE AM I TO BEGIN WITH?! I WANT TO GO BACK TO THRILLER BARK!

Someone please help... [Uuuuu. ;~;]

[OOC: Kinda-sorta placeholder until tomorrow after class. I'll tag around for a bit, but then bed after that. /o/ Tags will resume tomorrow!]

[Oh by the heavens he's never been more thankful to see that damn village. Once they reach the actual outskirts of the place, he'll nod northward.]

If you keep walking that way, you'll find food, your clothes, weapons... Things like that. It's all in one big area. There'll be a lot of people walking around too if you still need help, but I'm done.

[Yup he has his hideout not too far from the bakery though. So they still have to go the same way.]

[Ahaha, not so fast. Perona makes a grab for the young man, pulling at his clothes insistently. Though safe and sound, she is not about to be left behind and alone by anyone in a strange, new place. Perona hasn't scoped out the area with her hollows, so she doesn't know the dangers. That, and she really just needs and wants someone to talk to her.

Oh, and the kid's still shaking pretty bad.]

Wait. You're going to die if you don't change. And it's my fault, so I'll feel responsible if you really die. [Not one to mince words, this one.] Come, you can leave after you've changed - then I won't have to take responsibility for you if anything happens.

[And off she walks, grip firm and strong. You're not running off until she's done with you, boy.]

[Oh dammit, and here he thought he could escape. More time with this girl? It's settled: saving people is very nearly out of the question.]

I'll j-just [damn he was going good] change when I get home. I have extra clothing. L-Let go!

[Futile tugging!!! Damn girl, you got one hell of a grip. Chien'd respect that if it wasn't being used on him.]

[My god, you're noisy. Noisy and stubborn. Honestly, Perona's getting more and more frustrated with that attitude, and finally releases a few hollow ghosts from her palm - just in case. They can at least keep him in line if she get too upset. A negative person is a pushover, and one Perona can "tame" with relative ease. For now though, the ghosts just float along happily, giggling and sticking out their long tongues.]

Stop complaining! If you don't behave, I'll use my negative hollows on you! You're going to get some warm, dry, cute clothes right this second! If you freeze and die, I'll be the one responsible - and then I'll have that hanging over me. I don't want to have to think about that, stubborn boy, so just be quiet! No one is cute when they complain like you do, so just shut up before I make you!

[Now come along, puppy, Perona's starting to feel cold herself.] You can leave once I'm through, and don't have to worry.

[Did you know they don't have ghosts in his world. Not technical spirits. Reincarnation has that sort of effect. So yes, effectively shut up and letting himself be dragged along. What is this girl!?

He's really regretting saving her. At least he'll get new clothes out of this - and then he'll never have to deal with her again! Probably completely worth it, even if it didn't found like it right now. Well, whatever, at some point he'll simply start glaring at the spirits and leading her to the clothing store.]

[Ahaha, it's always so enjoyable to see people get so anxious and tight-lipped when she uses her powers. Being able to provoke that level of fear and intimidation was exactly how her powers were supposed to work...so it's pleasing to her to know they still do exactly what she hopes. Especially after her crushing defeat back home; redeeming herself in the eyes of different people from different worlds is a great boost to her ego.

Humming, mood improved, Perona looks around and effectively drags her poor, bedraggled companion toward the clothing shop, her hollows passing through the walls like it's nothing.]

All right, help me look for my clothes. I have a crown with a black cross on it, and a shawl with a pink bow! And my boots are red with lots of belts...oh, and my stockings and skirt! I won't leave without all of them! I'll look for something for you, too in the meantime, stubborn boy.

[Chandelure was one ghost, these were another kind. The first was actually friendly PERONA'S ARE JUST MEAN LOOKING.]

Look for them yourself, I'll just get things for m-myself. [Ghosts be damned he is not looking for a girl's clothes. Even if they disobey the same belt-laws his world does.] And my name's Chien!
