ic; what is shipping and how does it work

[stonethread]

[Yeah, this is Jolyne. This is Jolyne just walking around, minding her own business as she keeps an eye open to whatever in the world is going on. It seemed just like yesterday when she thought she met the guy of her dreams, only for it to turn out to be another asshole who just used her as he saw fit. Whatever, not like she ever had the best of luck with guys in the first place, they all seemed just like dime a dozen scum bags that messed with girls, and just threw them away afterwards. She wishes there was someone who could just break the chain at least once.

Either way, she seems to have a bit of a disgruntled look on her face as she just so happens to walk into what seems like a little bakery, looking at the goods before getting the bright idea to actually take one of the breads that was on display and leave without anyone really noticing what she did in the first place.]

Heh, what a bunch of idiots. They really should take better care of their stuff, who knows what might- [She was saying, not looking at all where she was going. It brought her to almost run into someone, but she quickly moved out of the way before she actually bumped into them and would've caused in accident. Wow, that would not have been good for her right then and there, in fact, it would have probably exposed her for what she had just done. But...knowing Jolyne, her face scrunched up a bit as she stared at whoever it was she was about to run into.]

...hey. [She started out, walking up to them and putting a finger into their chest.] Why don't you watch out where you're going, huh? Who knows what might have happened if you bumped into my and made me drop my food. [So she says, taking a bite out of it.] I would've made you walk back into that store and buy me another one, got it? [JOLYNE...YOU DIDN'T EVEN PAY FOR THIS THING IN THE FIRST PLACE...but not like she cares, anyways. She's got to hold up her tough girl image.]

So, what, you gonna pay me for almost bumping into me, or are we going to have some sort of problem here?

[...it was... a nice name? No, no, she couldn't let herself get so flustered once more, she just needs to brave the storm that is this guy. He's so nice, and something else that she never had to face before. She didn't even know guys like this could exist in the first place! But...but maybe if she were to...]

...or. [She started, as she leaned in and whispered into his ear.] ...You can call me JoJo if you want...I only let certain people call me JoJo, so...

[She pulls away, her stern expression had now softened into something more...more girlish, something she almost would never show anyone, unless they were her mother and...someone she wanted to get closer to. And this guy...she wanted him to make her feel special.]

[ .. JoJo..? He has to think for a moment, but then he figures it out. Of course iut's a nickname, isn't it? Since her name is Jolyne and then her last name Kujo, there's two Jos in there.. normally he wouldn't have thought of it, he's the kind of guy who just uses people's names instead of making up nicknames, but..

Hey, if she wants it, then it isn't a problem. If something that simple can make her happy, then that's fine. ]

If you don't mind [ In other words, "if you'd like it" ] then I definitely will.. Jojo. I'm fine calling you whatever you want.

.. Ah, we're here though. [ He enters the cafe with her like that, guiding her to a table - see, he's even pulling the chair back for her so she can sit.. ]
