"VII: A Day to Not Forget"

"To forget the dead is to murder them once more."

Rinako wasn't going to lie, she was starting to get a bit homesick.

It was nothing with the people here, that was something she was sure about, in fact the constant stream of chaos day after day as of late had been oddly relaxing for her. She had never been able to have nearly as much fun as she had as of recent. She was learning new things here after all, and had even managed to refine her control of her energy more than ever before after a visit to the west. That was the problem she supposed in a way, things were good and all, but the reasons they had to arrive there. It burned her out almost. Her dreams, or rather...nightmares more like lately, still haunted her after what she had done to that android. She had never felt such feelings like she had in that fight before. She had been in fights before, but that one in particular, it had never been one where she had felt so threatened, so ready to snap during it. When she had lost control...one more blow, one more blow and her hands would have been covered in the red and black of the android's blood.

Was that why she felt so homesick? Did she miss some of the calm of her home world?

If there was at least one reassuring thought here, kami praise the food was absolutely divine. She had visited truly the most dangerous of places in Central City that she had ever faced yet. The Main Street plaza, all around she could see how people were having fun with side shows on the sidewalks, treats being handed out for an upcoming festival of sorts. Something called a day of the dead? She wasn't sure what that was exactly, but the treats? How could she possibly resist such an appealing activity? Passing by some of the stores she couldn't help but find herself curious at some of the altars being presented in the window sides. These people in these pictures, she wondered what made them so special to celebrate in death so highly.

In the end, Rinako found herself approaching some kind of mask shop. "Honestly, these are kind of cute, I wonder if should...", she would find herself interrupted in conversation as she looked at an absolutely stunning fox mask. There was something about it that she found...appealing? She would slowly start reaching for it as she began to daze with in her opinion, its beauty...

"S'cuse me, miss?"

An inquisitive tone could be heard from the strange newcomer that had now found themselves directly behind the woman in reach of what looked to be a lovely looking fox mask. The curious cowboy quickly becoming a bit more aware of the window-shopping that he had now just interrupted once he actually got his wits about him. Truth be told, the choice to just so suddenly attempt to catch this random lady's eye wasn't as impulsive as an onlooker may be led to believe.

Cassidy Cerrone hadn't been planning on doing much today. In fact, seeing as he was still recovering from an injury he had obtained amidst training for the martial arts tournament a few months prior, the western warrior was ordered by his team to forcefully take at least a six month break before jumping into any form of action once again. Of course, he didn't at all listen, what with running off into the depths of the galaxy to run a few cosmic mercenary jobs to sate the hunger he had for a bit of action, but at least now that he had returned to terra firma he was actively trying a bit more to adhere to what his well-meaning teammates were preaching to him.

And quite honestly, it wasn't all that terrible for the normally busy-bodied cowhand to take at least a week or two of downtime. Hell, he even got into a little scuffle with a bird looking mutant a week ago, which did much to improve the remaining boredom he had felt in the midst of his enforced leisure time.

The only thing that terrorized him now was actually picking up a hobby that didn't include pushing his physical body to the utmost limit, and for a man like Cassidy, that was quite the difficult thing to undertake. Unlike most people of his social class and caliber, he didn't much fancy the whole "window-shopping" bit all that much. He found it quite boring really, seeing as he only really bought whatever he needed and didn't at all splurge like most other well-off people he was aware of.

    He did enjoy taking little sight-seeing walks though. And while he normally preferred the company of the more wild areas of the land, the city's scenery wasn't at all a bad backdrop for him to be accompanied by either. Which was why he was here in Central City in the first place. It had been a while since he had dropped in for a visit, and Central City held an especially important place within his heart (much of his MMA career had been spent fighting here), so he thought it best to revisit some old stomping grounds. Plus, the celebration of the day of the death had been flung into full swing, and Cerrone was never one to turn down a potential party or few.

However, during his little walk-along of the Dia De Los Muertos decorated city streets, an interesting little sight in the form of a ruby red-clad woman came before him. Specifically that of said woman's hat falling off of her head and landing right in the middle of the street the two had been walking on.

Unbeknownst to Rinako, it seemed, her signature little red hat had fallen from her head and right into the path of the off duty stockman. Picking up with a gentle grip, Cassidy was able to quickly put two and two together and followed the woman into the mask shop where she now stood, reaching for the fox mask that now gripped her attention firmly in its grasp.

Or, at least until Cassidy then took that very attention.

"Sorry to intrude, but I believe this here hat belongs to you," Cerrone said, his gravelly, yet warm southern drawl shining true through his vernacular. "It'da be a shame to lose such a nice looking thing too, really completes the lovely look you've got going on."

"Plus, it'd go real nicely with that mask you've been eyeing too."

"VII: A Day to Not Forget"

"To forget the dead is to murder them once more."

She really had been so distracted lately, with everything that had been going om, it was just so much to think over, it was exhausting, tiring, draining even. She just wished that something could make it easier, easier to deal with it. Maybe that was why she was so enamored by the mask in front of her, something that could hide her, let her just throw all that stress away from her unseen. Maybe it was the influence of Her… She didn’t know, and frankly, the soreness of that death beam from the arcosian she thought she could trust to help…well, it made her wonder if she even cared herself.

Thankfully…

Such thoughts were easily able to be broken…

A polite excuse had caught her twitching ears, catching a few blinks from her even as she turned to look up to the western dressed figure. The man looking to be in excellent shape even with a certain…confidence she had noticed to his gait, even with that beard of his grown in. It took a few blinks for her to catch the notice of the hat he was holding, rather…her hat. “O…Oh wow…I didn’t even realize it had fallen off.”, she would begin to say, a bit thankful that the man had found it. Though perhaps still a bit puzzled having been pulled out of such thoughts prior. She would regardless however, reach to grab back her hat and even tie it back on, the ribbon hat sitting nicely right back on top of her red hair. It was admittedly a little embarrassing having to have lost it, but Rinako supposed she was getting quite good at that as of lately.

Hearing the rest of the strangers words, she would look to that very fox mask she had been eying, reaching for it and holding it in her hands, she would perhaps smile at the thought. “You know? Maybe you’re right. I think it goes pretty nicely with myself as well.”, she would say with a light giggle to the end of her words. That’s right…not everyone was like that Arcosian, this was a festival after all right? Reaching into her bag, she would pull out some zeni to leave for the mask. Even going to to wear it tied on top of one of her ears. “Well then, you do have some good taste though cowboy, I’m Rinako by the way, though some just call me by Rin, and you?”

Tipping his own hat to the young girl, he patted her reassuringly on the arm as she seemed to be incredibly flustered in light of her own funny little shortcoming, saying as he now took in her appearance along with the finishing touch of the hat atop her hat, "No need to worry about it lil' lady, I'm just glad I got ahold of it before someone, less kind. It's a nice hat, no telling what woulda happened to it if I hadn't gotten my hands on it when I did." And considering the gravitation toward the mask the girl clearly had, she must have valued her earthly possessions with a decent amount of reverence, so Cassidy couldn't imagine losing something that key to their whole set bonus thing they had going on. It was like him losing his signature cattleman hat- though, then again, he had numerous of those, so he wouldn't be that heartbroken over losing one or two.

Either way, he was straying a touch off topic. He had company now to keep it seemed, so he decided that refocusing on the person in front of him instead of choosing to remain transfixed with the things they wore upon their heads would be simply the gentlemanly thing to do.

Chuckling a bit along with Rinako, Cassidy placed his hands safely within his jeans' pockets, nodding toward her with a boyish flair to his action as he listened intently to her introductions, smiling warmly as he made his own soon after, saying, "The name's Cassidy, Cassidy Cerrone. But more than a few feller's have me go by cowboy, so I don't mind either or really these days. It's good to meet you Ms. Rinako."

Taking one more look at the mask, her outfit, and then herself in general, the older man chuckled again as he noticed a slight pattern to her chosen wardrobe, gesturing toward the color of her outfit as he asked in an inquisitive tone, "Red a favored color of yours then, I assume? It's definitely a lovely choice- real easy on the eyes, if you don't mind me sayin' of course."

"VII: A Day to Not Forget"

"To forget the dead is to murder them once more."

“Mhm…truly can’t thank you enough regardless for grabbing it when you did, would be a shame to have to recreate another one, then applying the glyphs to try and keep it from falling...what a pain.”, she would wave her hand around to emphasize a bit the annoyance that perhaps she may have had to gone through. Let through loose lips the words to indicate herself a bit of a spellcaster perhaps by mistake, she would keep a smile up to the cowboy as she adjusted the mask on her ear a bit, making it just a tiny bit more comfortable.

She would begin to start making her way out of the store, keeping close enough to continue a conversation as she tried not to get too mixed up with the rest of the festivities. “Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you Mr. Cerrone, or do you prefer Cassidy?”, she would offer up trying to gather their preference, only to give a light twist as she looked down to the red of her outfit. “Well, you know, some say they have lucky numbers, I guess you could say it’s my lucky color.”, her smile would be genuine as she finally felt those whispers in her ears quieted a bit. She couldn’t help but slide down the mask however after a small group of kids ran on by, celebrating the festival it seemed as she found herself posed with a curiosity. “So, I’ve heard some of the people here call this a day of the dead? Do you mind if I ask why? I’m a bit new to the area myself personally~”

Upon hearing that the person standing in front of him was much more magically inclined than most of the populace, a decent amount of people would likely end up quite surprised- but for Cassidy, he wasn't all that shocked upon hearing it. He'd been laid witness to many people who held an affinity for the mystical arts, with one of them being his former significant other, so it was safe to say that this was definitely not his first rodeo when it came to dealing with the world of witchcraft and wizardry.

Cassidy was still interested though in what exactly Rinako excelled at when it came to the occult and supernatural. He was well aware that not all magic was the same, nor was it all created equal- Acerola just so happening to be one of the few that he knew excelled in the usage of magic for martial arts means. But he didn't think he knew anyone until this point that could utilize magic in a more, recreational manner such as Rinako, so he was still very much interested in what she had to offer, even if he still had a good amount of background knowledge already on what she was likely capable of.

"You're a magic-caster then as well, huh? Seems like every time I go out these days I run into another one of you fellas face first," the cowboy joked slightly as he hoped to alleviate any nervousness or doubts over his thoughts on those who chose to dive into the supernatural. "I can't say I've met someone as particular as you though, miss- being able to read and use all them fancy incantations and writings is something a simple country man like myself can hardly comprehend, heh. If you don't mind telling me, I'd be fair to middlin' if you wouldn't mind me meddlin' in your magical affinities. I'd love to hear how you got your start in it."

"Buuut, since you asked me about the festivities today, I ought to explain that to you first then, yeah?"

Readjusting his hat, he looked out the shop window not too far away from the two for a moment at the hustle and bustle going on just outside before looking back Rinako, explaining, "Although I'm not the best person to be going to for advice on this day in particular, I can tell you some of the basics at least- the Day of the Dead is a day dedicated to the rememberin' of the folks we've lost, both recently and long ago. Something about always making sure we remember those we care about, since when someone is completely forgotten, it's like they're kicking it for a second time, if you catch my drift."

"Can't say I usually celebrate it myself, but it's certainly a fun day to go out and admire the scenery it brings with it. You said you're new to the area? I could show you around a bit if you need a guide to keep you steady."
