This might be a weird request, but could I borrow a few baggy shirts? I guess Iris makes me grow big, uncomfortable, stupid horns that don't let me fit through doors and ruin all my tops! [ that is not a bitter tone, it definitely is not. ]

Promise to give them back after the moon's over?

It is true that both countries rule more through their parliaments and that the monarchs are little more than cultural figureheads. And that is decidedly different from how my country is situated. The Nevermind family has had an unbroken line of ruling for over a thousand years because we have always done our best for the people and refused to focus solely on power building.

[Hey, school is important. Now she can put that knowledge to use.]

However, that is not to say that we don't have a council of advisors that gets elected by the people. They are just as respected as the kings and queens in power.

[chainlinks]

[Of course. Just his imagination.]

I understand. If you'd rather pay for your things I can show you a few places that are reasonably priced. If you let me pay for something, you could always pay me back later at your own pace. Running out of Chroma is not a particularly great feeling, after all.

[piercedyourheart]

[ she strokes her chin with an over exaggerated 'hmmm'. ]

Alright...you've convinced me. Gotta say that you drive a hard bargain, stranger. Where and when do you wanna do this?

[Shit. Yukari's onto her.

Midna pauses for a moment post Yukari's assessment and she starts laughing. Yes. It does sound like that, doesn't it? And... it's not exactly untrue either.]

I won't lie and say the Light Dwellers fail to entertain me. Your people are interesting. Amusing. And sometimes foolish. It's difficult for me not to find a little humour in it.

[fridgeninja]

It was kind of like a vacation.

[piercedyourheart]

Compared to yours? Boring. We were your typical high school bunch. Although there was one kid who had a huge crush on our teacher....

[piercedyourheart]

Seriously. We're treated well enough, but we're still making Chroma for them.... It feels--weird.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

There's always one of those, huh?

[ Though for Konoka, it was more like half of her class.

An impish idea popped up into Konoka's head. ]

Was it you?

Video

[piercedyourheart]

[ yukari pulls a face. ]

No way! Ms. Toriumi is definitely not my type.

Video

[im_gonna_heal_u]

That so?

[ Konoka might largely look like she was just idly thinking about things, but there's a slightly mischievous look in her eye. ]

Well, I dunno what she looks like so I'll have to take your word for it.

Video

[piercedyourheart]

[ she rolls her eyes. jeez, did this girl know how to push buttons. ]

Definitely. Wouldn't dating your homeroom teacher be way too pervy? [ shots fired, ren. ]

Besides, I'd want someone closer to my age. ...and someone more athletic. Maybe they'd like shopping or at least go along with me and have a good time. Someone cute? [ a pause before a distinct shade of pink fills in her cheeks. ] I-if I was into that, I mean.

Video

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ That didn't stop half her class, so those shots Yukari fired had unintentional piercing rounds. Konoka was thankful none of her classmates heard that. ]

Oh, I understand. I get you.

[ Because that was also Konoka's type back home. And probably here if she was honest. ]

Have you found someone like that here?

Video

[piercedyourheart]

No comment.

[ it should be pretty easy to read that's a 'yes', but like hell yukari is going to say that out loud. ]

Video

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Oh ho~

So you do have someone you're eyeing! Is there a chance you'll tell me who?

[ Konoka knew that chance was abysmal, but she wanted that chance anyway. ]

Video

[piercedyourheart]

[ a bit more firmly, ] No comment.

[ nice try, konoka. maybe next time. ]

Video

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Ah, okay, okay.

[ Konoka raised her hands in surrender. No point in poking uncomfortably. ]

Well, do keep in touch, okay? Iris can be hell sometimes. I'm always here if you need a little help with that.

Re: Video

[piercedyourheart]

[ is that...a blush that's kicking in? ]

I--uh. Yeah. I'll remember that, Konoka-san. Thanks...?

Video

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Welcome!

[ And with that, she signs off. ]

[chainlinks]

[As someone who loves theatrics, he appreciates the little exaggerated show.]

Whenever you feel like it. I don't have a set time limit to this invitation and it sounds like you need clothing sooner rather than later.

[piercedyourheart]

[ it's an actress thing. ]

People have been nice enough to offer some clothes until the horns go away so I shouldn't need anything just yet. Maybe once all this is over we can go for it. It'll be nice to see you in person again....

[ dramatic pause. ]

Ren-kun.

[jailbirds]

Of course it feels weird! They're whoring us out!

[chainlinks]

People do tend to help each other a lot here, I have found.

[He can't help but laugh at his new title.]

Oh, we're going for 'kun' huh? I guess I am younger than you, after all...it would be nice to see you again as well....

[Also a dramatic pause!]

Yukari-san.

[piercedyourheart]

Well--! I guess you could--! Not that--!

[ her multiple trains of thought detail into incomprehensible embarrassed sputtering. it's not that minatsuki is wrong, just that yukari hasn't let that fact sink in yet. ]

[jailbirds]

[ it's fine, she knows not everyone can handle The Truth™ at first. but she does want to at least know that someone gets how creepy this whole situation is. ]

You've got nothing to say 'cause you know I'm right. We get our shitty allowance, but they're making a profit off people sleeping around.

[piercedyourheart]

[ she grins wide. yukari is more invested in this than she wants to admit. ] You knew my name the entire time, didn't you? That's a rigged game if I ever heard it, Ren-kun.

And hey, I'm just following Haru-chan's lead! She had nothing but nice things to say about you, but she didn't tell me anything about you being a cheater.
