Storybook Eleven; [action]

[Ah, Luceti. Just when she's starting to warm up to you again, you manage to throw another curveball at her. Her day begins normally enough, though Brown seemed particularly agitated as she went about her routine of getting dressed. She frowns as she watches her friend circle nervously around her as she ties her hair up into her habitual bun and

[Goroh hasn't been up for long either. In fact, he's sitting on the edge of his bed, in his boxers only, reaching for his sunglasses beside his bed. That's right, the glasses are the first thing he puts on in the morning.]

[redroseprince]

[...

...Goroh, you are about fifty times more intimidating in person. Jennifer is never felt such mortification in her life and she has to clap a hand over her mouth to keep herself from letting out a strangled, horrified cry and promptly squeezes her eyes shut. She's from the 1930s. This sight is vastly inappropriate for her.

...Maybe if she doesn't say anything, he won't notice her.]

[moonlightoutlaw]

[What Jennifer doesn't realize however, is that she is within arm's reach. And is precisely wear he left his folded up clothes. So one stumbling hand will suddenly bump into her to find them. But... what he's grabbing sure isn't a pair of pants.]

Eh?

[redroseprince]

[Oh, she so does hate being touched. It never leads to anything good and this just proves it. The rough feel of his hands causes a familiar, knotting terror in her stomach which is only amplified by the fact that she was refusing to look at anything at the time. Some odd cross between a choking sound and a startled gasp manages to escape between her fingers as her eyes snap open in a panic and she feebly tries to cringe away from him.]

[No-ah gets up early, so he's already up and about when Jennifer decides to poof right in front of him. Sadly though, this is morning...and summer, which means he's only wearing pants.]

[redroseprince]

[You are not as scary as Goroh. In fact, Jennifer even goes so far as to think of you as a friend.

Unfortunately, she does not feel nearly close enough to you to brush off your shirtlessness. Oh goodness, this is so embarrassing. She wastes no time in childishly covering her eyes with her hands.]

Oh, No-ah, I...I'm so sorry! I-I'll leave at once!

[And she does so- or at least tries to. It's mainly just her stumbling back and blindly grasping for a door handle though.]

[7bladesword]

[Her covering her eyes makes him think for a moment that he wasn't wearing pants, since he sees nothing wrong about walking around without a shirt.

After his initial mental freak out though, he'll move to grab her by the shoulder.]

You'll trip doing that.

[redroseprince]

[You also do not have the values of the 1930s.

There a moment where No-ah can probably feel her attempt to jerk away from the touch. But she's not very forceful about it, so it probably does little to no good.]

N-no, I'll be all right! I'm just...I'm sorry!

[And another person randomly appears in front of Sheena! This is shaping up to be one of those days.

But at least Jennifer showed up on the couch]

...Uh, you okay?

[action]

[redroseprince]

[One of those days, indeed. She's too used to finding herself in unexpected places. Since there are no X-rated shirtless men running about, she takes this with little more than a troubled frown.]

...I think so.

[...What is disturbing though, is that Brown was apparently left behind in the apartment. She really doesn't like that part of this little adventure, and it's probably obvious by the nervous way she surveys her surroundings.]

[corrinesbell]

It's just my house.

[redroseprince]

[The vaguely familiar setting is comforting, and seems to ease her somewhat, even if her dear companion is probably still worriedly pacing the floors of her own apartment.]

Yes...I'm glad it was only here.

[redroseprince]

[Dear god, please tell her you are decent. Jennifer doesn't know if her heart can take anymore shirtless men. Though the dog is a comforting presence, even if it is an unfamiliar one.]

...Minato?

[redroseprince]

...I can't.

[redroseprince]

[Jennifer isn't that lucky. Into the fountain she goes.

She breaks the surface after a moment, coughing and flailing her arms until she manages to grasp the side of the fountain, and then just sort of...sits there, shivering.]

[redroseprince]

[Oh my. Seeing a mermaid was not what she was expecting. Jennifer lets out a soft gasp and recoils a little from Razette, more in surprise than anything.]
