"Oooh, this place is niiiiice." Charlene whistled out as she, Cipher and Porsalynne walked down the bustling streets of Avalon. Cipher couldn't blame the small girl for being impressed. For the last few years, the girl had been living in an abandoned maintinance room in a theme park. Now, here she was in this floating paradise, adopted as he and Porsalynne's daughter. The female android beamed as she watched their new daughter taking in the sights.
"And once we get to my shop," she spoke up, "I'll be able to make you something decent to wear. You must be sick of having to wear those grungy things all the time." she gestured to Charlene's rather tattered clothing. The girl looked down at herself, shaking her head. "Are you kidding? This shows off how tough I am. I mean, would anyone believe someone in a frilly dress launched rockets at a giant machine monster? Nope!" Porsalynne chuckled, not offended, but somewhat challanged by it. "Really? And would you believe someone dressed like me punched out a crooked theme park owner?" Charlene seemed to pause for a moment. "Ok, your logic is acceptable."
Cipher chuckled at the banter between the two. He had gotten used to his girlfriend's little quirks. Now he would have to get used to his daughter's rather manic personality. He had never dreamed he would get a family like this, and yet, here he was. He looked ahead, seeing the shop just around the corner. "Here we are." The two women broke off their chatter to see the shop. Charlene tilted her head to read the sign. "Doll House? Why'd you call it that? Makes me think of something from a horror movie." Porsalynne gave a sheepish chuckle. "It's a little something from my past. I'll tell you about it later. Right now, let's get you some new clothes."
"I told you, I don't want any new clothes."
"Well too bad, you're getting some."
"Noooooooo!"
"Yeeeeeeeeeesss!"
Cipher sighed and shook his head. What a family.

Xitica walked along the streets of Avalon, sipping at a shake through a straw. She'd been staying there for a while now so she knew her way around more or less. Now she was just walking around to see what actual places were on the island that had yet to take off into the air like she heard it eventually would. Oh well..it was still a unique city regardless if it floated or not. It had some unique people as well...Like the group near that shop. Doll House? Did they sell dolls? She walked closer to get a better look while listening to what appeared to be a family nearby.
Seemed to be a clothing shop on closer inspection. Neat! As she gazed up at it, she glanced over at the group of three. The man looked a little....off....pale...too pale. Was he sick? He didn't seem to be in any pain. Was he one of those humans...what did they call them? Albinos?
Taking a gulp of milkshake, Xi continued to watch the group. Seemed the girl didn't want to wear dresses. Xi giggled a bit, then blinked. "Come to think of it I don't think I've ever worn one either...." she murmured quietly to herself, speaking her thoughts.

Xi really should have been careful about speaking her thoughts, especially when dresses were concerned. Porsalynne seemed to freeze, before slowly turning her head (Cipher swore he could hear an omnious creaking sound as she did so) to spy the majin not that far from them. Cipher had already noticed her presence, though he wasn't trying to stare. Was she someone new to the island? He hadn't met her before.
Letting go of Charlene, Porsalynne made her way over to Xitica, a broad smile on her face. "What was that I hear? You've never worn a dress before?" What was with all the ladies on this island not embracing their femininity? Porsalynne seriously had her work cut out for her, "Well, I can certainly help with that. I am Porsalynne, and I'm the ownder of Doll House Dresses. Please, come on in. I'm sure I can make up something nice for you."
While Porsalynne was making her sales pitch, Charlene had decided to take the chance to flee from her dress crazy mom. Only for Cipher to catch her as she tried to slip away. With a quiet look from her 'father', Charlene shifted herself so she was behind him, watching the exchange. She had never seen a majin before, and was no doubt curious about the strange woman.

For people who hadn't seen Majins before, Xi would look...well pretty human-like except for the face her body was all one color. Like someone sculpted her out of some sort of grey..rubbery...gum material. Her 'hair was done up in the style of a ponytail. It actually wasn't hair but part of her mass made to imitate it. Other differences were the round holes that served as her ears, the smaller ones along her fore-arm that..didn't seem to serve a purpose at the moment, and her black sclera where people normally had white surrounding her blue irises. So...yeah maybe she did look a bit strange.
The Majin girl blinked as the woman spoke to her, turning to see she was approaching. Taking another gulp of milkshake, she responded to the introduction "Oh hi!...I'm Xitica. And no..I don't think I ever have worn a dress....they didn't seem really..practical I guess." she said. "I tended to explore a lot around where I lived so....A dress would've just gotten messed up...And I've never been invited to anything requiring dressing up either...."
Yup the Majin had never really had the thought of putting on a dress. It wasn't that she didn't like them...just she had no reason to wear one.

"Well, I guess that's true," Porsalynne replied, tilting her head to the side in thought before clapping her hands together, "But, that doesn't mean you can't be stylish. And that's what I'm here to do! Come, I'll make you something really nice!" Before the majin could object, Porsalynne took her by the hand, starting to drag her behind her towards the shop. Quickly fishing keys out of her dress, she unlocked the door and pulled her in. As they passed, Cipher gave the majin a sympathetic look.
"Better her than me," Charlene spoke up. Cipher looked down at her.
"You're still going as well."
"Aww."
Inside, the store had an almost antiquated feel to it, rather complimenting Porsalynne's own attire. Numerous examples of her work were on display around the shop, with numerous shelves full of various rolls of fabric. Once inside, Porsalynne spun around to face the majin, smiling brightly.
"Now, first off, we have to decide what looks good on you. Hmm, we need something that goes well with your skin tone. Hmm, maybe a blue, or possibly gold?" Porsalynne was looking her over almost like a doctor examining a patient.

Xi blinked as she was pulled along, just sort of...going with the flow of the situation. As she was lead inside, she gazed around, mouth opening slightly as her eyes took in the shop's interior. She felt a bit out of place. When Porsalynne began speaking of what would look good on her and looking over the Majin, Xi glanced down at herself as well. Her clothes were simple but nice looking. Her top was sleeveless and seemed to be made from a stretchy material. It was black with purple trim. He pants seemed to be made of more..normal material, black as well and a bit baggy. Her boots were the same coloration as her top and she had matching wrist bands. The attire was pretty casual.
"Well I usually wear stuff with these colors..." Xi said, looking up from her clothes to Porsalynne. She decided to take this time to do some looking over of her own, to take in the woman's appearance and attire.

Porsalynne was dress in an old fashioned dress, in tones of black and brown. She wore a brown shawl over the outfit, had a red scarf around her neck, and even wore a bonnet. She seemed more in place in the old fashioned shop enterior, than she did in the modern wolrd outside. Listening to Xitica's words, she continued to ponder, her creative mind going into overdrive. [/color=magenta]"Alright! I think I've got it!"[/color] she made her way over to the counter, picking up a pad and a pencil and immediately began doodling. Her eyes kept switching back from the pad to the majin, scribbling like a woman possessed.
Meanwhile, Cipher was taking a look around the store, trying to come up with ideas for stuff to give Charlene. The girl was trying to wriggle free, bargaining with her father.
"Come on. Mom's busy, so why don't you and I go to the arcade?"
"No."
"Oh come on! I'll give you money!"
"You don't have any."
"Dammit!"
"Ok, we're done!" she flipped over the pad to show Xitica. On the pad was a rather detailed sketch of her, wearing what appeared to be dress that had almost been converted into a coat. Purple outlined the black coat, and it even included a hood. It had a feel of class, but also practical. "I shall make it out a soft, but sturdy waterproof fabric. It should last to allow you treck the world, while at the same time highlight your femininity. I even included a hood incase it rained. Stylish, yet workable. What do you think?"

Xi noted her style seemed to match her shop's. A look that was much older than the Majins themselves, being that they were a relatively young race compared to the others on earth. Indeed, Majins were born to a modern world. Xi watched as Porsalynne began to sketch in her pad, glancing over at the other two when they began to talk. She giggled as the little girl tried bargaining with her father. Well she assumed he was her father. It'd be weird if someone else's child was hanging around. Maybe adopted?
Xi was snapped out of her thoughts when the other woman held up her pad to show Xi her work. "That...doesn't look bad actually" Xi said, smiling a bit. She then leaned in to look closer. "You may have to add some holes though..." she said, pointing to the small openings along her arm. "They tend to vent hot steam out and...yeah..." she explained.

Porsalynne nodded and proceeded to alter the sketch. "Ok, include some vent holes here..." she murmured softly to herself, "With a light mesh, so steam and vent out, but stuff cannot get in." When she finished, she beamed at the majin. "Alright, I think that's about it. If you'll give me some time, I'll have it all made up for you in no time!" She then headed off, picking up bolts of cloth before disappearing into the back of the shop.
With Porsalynne gone, Cipher took the opportunity to approach her. "I apologize for Porsalynne's, erm, enthusiasm," he said, "Ever since that photoshoot she's been extra excited about her work. I am Cipher 24, operative of the Blue Banner Army." he gave a formal bow, before gesturing to Charlene, who was looking at her curiously. "And this is Charlene, our daughter." "Yo." the small girl replied, looking up and down the female majin.

Xi watched her walk off before a thought occurred to her. "I should probably ask how much this would cost before she gets started..." she said. She was about to try and get the woman's attention when the man walked up to her and spoke, introducing himself and their daughter, as well as apologizing for Porsalynne's enthusiasm. She giggled. "That's alright, my mother gets excited about her cooking the same way." she said. She then tilted her head. "The Blue Banner Army....I think I may have heard of that...not much."
At their names she tilted her head. "24? That's a..unique last name.." she said, giggling a bit. She then smiled, giving a bow herself. "I'm Xitica, nice to meet you both.....So...um do you know how much this'll cost?" she asked, looking towards where Porsalynne went.

Cipher nodded calmly at her response. "The Blue Banner Army is one of the parties responsible for Avalon's creation, as well as the lead protective force of Earth."
When she mentioned his 'last name', Cipher rubbed the back of his head, giving a slight cough. "It's not so much a last name as what I was given upon my creation. I'm an android you see. So is Porsalynne. Charlene here though is human. Porsalynne and I adopted her after an incident in the Eastern Capitol." Charlene tugged on Cipher's coat. "Would that mean my last name's 24 as well? Charlene 24...Hmmm." Cipher gave the little girl a confused look as she pondered the sound of her new surname. Honestly, Cipher had never really considered it before. He quickly turned his attention back to the majin. "Forgive me, but would you by any chance be a majin?"

Xi's eyes widened at both reveals. So he was like...part of the group that helped found the settlement. And he was an android? Pretty convincing one...Though now that she thought about it, it might be what she felt was off about him. Oh well she didn't have room to judge, she was a stretchy bubble gum-like creature. Speaking of which, he just asked her is she was a Majin! She smiled, nodding.
"Yes I am." she answered. She even extended her arm off to her left to prove she was by showing off her stretchiness, arm reaching further than she was tall, before snapping back to it's normal length. The Majin then just grinned at him.

"That is so cool!" Charlene lept up from behind her father, running over to the Majin now with excited and curious eyes, "What else are you able to do? Are you able to fill yourself up like a balloon? Can you tie yourself in knots? Is your body rubber or something?" She reached up to poke Xitica, feeling how bouncing her flesh was.
"Charlene! Don't be rude!" Cipher scolded the girl, giving an embarrassed chuckle to the Majin, "I apologize for that. The girl's been on her own for so long, I don't think she's met anybody outside of humanity other than me and Porsalynne." His dull green eyes looked over her, taking in the details. So, she was of the same race Komoto was. "Tell me, you wouldn't happen to be familiar with a Majin named Komoto would you? He's someone I happen to be looking for."

Xi giggled, watching the girl come over excitedly. She just raised a brow when the child poked her. She felt soft. Xi looked up as Cipher continued to speak, tilting her head when he mentioned Komoto. "Ummm....the creepy majin that dresses like a cirus ring master?" she asked. She then held her hands up, imitating pulling triggers. "Has two handguns that fire energy?" she added, doing the gestures a few more times....even going 'pew pew pew' a bit.

Cipher nodded, a sharp frown spreading across his face. "Yes, that's the one. He and the organization he's a part of are currently under an 'investigation' I am personally running. If you have any information on his whereabouts, that would be most appreciated."
It was at that point a delighted cheer came from the back of the shop. "And it is finished!" Porsalynne cheered as she came out, holding up Xitica's new jacket/dress in front of her for everyone to see. "Miss Xitica, if you'd care to try it on? I want to see if I got the size just right for you."
