Jobless (Rita)

Being oblivious as she is, Rita didn't seem to notice any ads at all, instead focusing on the way, any seen slipping her mind completely as her facial recognition simply turned off for now... Following Lia as she showed her the way, Rita answered her questions quickly, not really wanting to bore her out much... "W-well, I'm a graphic designer! An amateur one for now but I draw a lot! That and, um... I play videogames and such... and, um... uh..." Struggling to find something else to say, Rita simply kept quieter as she simply asked: "Oh, um.. wh-what about you, do you have hobbies?" Sounding quite a bit more nervous, Rita spoke in a shaky voice before looking up at the sky, immediately noticing some adverts to a circus performer, Cuore... "Huh...? She looks kinda like you, Lia!" Though Rita was mostly oblivious on this stuff, she recognized Lia's face on the sign, even with the heavy make-up she had on in the ad... "But really now, you must be a really big attraction to make it to an ad, huh? I'm kinda curious now..." Still smiling just the same way, Rita kept walking, still oblivious to what Lia truly did... though she doubted in her mind that she'd care at all...

Still smiling, Rita really didn't know a single thing about this island, much less the circus... she truly had no idea who Lia was or what she did... A sly expression appearing on her face, Rita decided to respond to everything Lia had said pretty much at once, talking way more than she normally did... "Well, for starters, I don't really do much computer stuff aside from editing some pictures and maybe programming a bit... aside from that, I really only just draw, play video games and watch anime, nothing more..." Smiling sheepishly now, Rita wasn't very used to speaking about herself so much... now it was Lia's turn. "Cuo... re? Sorry, I really don't know... I have little to now knowledge of this island, much less where everything is and who everyone is..." Showing now a dejected expression, Rita turned the sheepish smile into a grin and answered confidently. "I don't really care who you are or what you do, you seem like an awesome person!" Smiling brightly now, Rita could tell that Lia really was pretty cool just from this day... wondering now if there was much longer to go, Rita was starting to get a bit bored... she had run out of things to talk about... "Is it much longer to your place?" Asking still in a bored tone, Rita would expect Lia to show her at least the outside of the circus and then each part ways for today... as friends, at least... Giving Lia a smile again, Rita kept walking, hoping that they'd reach it soon...

When Rita still seemed oblivious to her other nature, she gave a peace sign with her hand akin to one on one of her ads and gave a brilliant smile. “One day you’ll just have to show up then!” she said. It would not take them much longer, as the circus was easy to see from a distance and they were merely a few streets away. Lia would halt at a crosswalk and smile to Rita. “Well then, maybe you should come sometime! Or maybe I’ll see you again if I am told to go back to school. Nice meeting you! Well, see ya!” she said, before practically running across the street when there were no cars, eager to get back to her real home. A home at the madness that is the circus.

Giggling at Lia's little performance at trying to imitate her ads, Rita winked at her and said: "Of course I will, I look forward to seeing you perform!" A smile shining as bright as the sun was one of Rita's rare expressions, one that she showed to only people she considered friends... and Lia was shown the same radiant smile that could melt a heart...
"Alrighty then, I'll come by whenever I can!" Waving now to Lia as she crossed the street, Rita could see the circus in the distance as she did... Rita already expected Lia to walk a bit faster as she reached her home though she didn't quite expect a run like what she put up... Shouting one last thing to Lia before she was gone, Rita waved and put her hand by her mouth so the sound would amplify... "Hey! When we meet again, we gotta trade phone numbers, you hear me?!" Giving the same smile that she gave before, Rita settled down before going off on her own to return home, hoping she could see Lia again soon...
