[[Aaron answers the door, seeing here there and noticing that bit hanging out of her pocket.

Well, this is awkward.]]

Umm... I never thought you were... and... uh... you have something sticking out of your pocket.

[ and she totally freezes mid-polite bow and she kind of starts trembling a little ]

[latelyblooming]

[ aaaaaand you get this face ]

If it wouldn't be too much trouble would you mind closing the door, and I'll knock again AND WE CAN OVERWRITE THIS FIRST MEETING FROM OUR MEMORIES?

[ not realizing that her voice is getting shriller and shriller until she's reaching a pitch only dogs can hear man ]

[pants_yourmove]

It's okay, I swear... just uh... push it further into your pocket...

[[Somehow, he is sure he won't forget this meeting.]]

[ because the universe has decided that her humiliation wasn't quite complete, it has to be a kid that sees her. her life is rapidly flashing before her eyes a little although whether that's from a shameful reinventory of what life choices brought her here or because she's slowly being suffocated by the corselette (that stuff's not breathable) who knows?

she rips the corselette from her face and looks around wildly for where to hide from the sight of young impressionable children ]

[ screw it she can't find anywhere because she's in the middle of the street and gravity hates her so if she throws the thing it'll probably land on her face again

so she's gonna settle for grabbing at gilgamesh the tiny and deaged(?) and hoping to hold him in place for life lessons and idk HOPEFULLY keeping him from running to like an adult ]

It's too early for you to learn about just what this is! Girls will learn about this early but for boys like you... maybe you'll care about it, maybe you won't.

[ a little intense about it ]

[latelyblooming]

Protect your innocence for as long you as can!

[A red-headed young man with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a book in his and answers the door. He doesn't look pleased.]

Then what do you want.

[latelyblooming]

[ she twitches a little when she sees his expression. yikes she's had to deal with way too much of that. on the upside he at least hasn't told her to die yet and she is inconveniencing him...

plastering on a pleasant/pleading smile that's her attempt at COURTEOUS PROFESSIONAL she bows ]

I'm very sorry for the trouble. I just got here and I. Um. rushedoutofthehouseIwokeupinandnowIdon'trememberwhichoneitis.

[sanctusdei]

...You're lost, then.

[Eyes her pocket]

Your underwear's showing.

[latelyblooming]

[ she's resisting to back away when he brings up the underwear and shen she starts flailing her arms all like NO ]

It's not mine!

[ and then she thinks about what she just totally implied by claiming that it's not hers ]

It's not--- that I stole this from someone else though!

phone

[politerudeness]

...You have done no such thing, so please do not worry. Ah, for a conversation to be private in this town, special filters must be applied. [ ...Well that's not actually true, he knows they can hear everything said on the phones, including filtered calls- which is precisely why he isn't saying so. ]

[latelyblooming]

Oh! That's good then! I was afraid that there was something wrong with the phone line. I don't like accidentally eavesdropping on people. It might ruin the chances of success for when I actually mean to do it on purpose.

And what are these filters you're talking about?

[ she clearly does not have any between her own brain and her mouth ]

[politerudeness]

Ehh-? It is even more rude to do eavesdropping on purpose!

... And filters are used to direct the phone call towards specific people. Otherwise the call is broadcasted to the general public and anyone who has picked up the phone at the time.

[latelyblooming]

Well that's true. But that somehow doesn't bother me at all. It's not even something I consider to be that much of a flaw about myself... Should I rethink my values?

Action 2: @ 1251 Williams Road

[inababanchou]

[ Souji is walking home when he sees a girl scampering toward his front door then back around the corner. He watches Aaron, then watches this girl come back again and talk with Aaron a little bit longer.

He waits at the front of his yard for her to come back when she is finished talking to his not!brother Aaron. He is staring at her, watching her. ]

[ with her mood considerably brightened by getting some answers and Aaron fortunately not treating her like a weird flasher pervert, it takes a few seconds before the feeling of someone's stare penetrates her aura of YAY NO ONE HAS CALLED THE POLICE ON ME...

and when it does, she freezes a little, tu-u-u-urning left and then tu-u-u-urning right in stilted movements. like this is somehow going to deflect the stare or something ]

[latelyblooming]

[ target sighted. confidence in her normalcy restored, she just. STARES BACK. ]

[inababanchou]

...

You Aaron's girlfriend?
