[ OPEN ] WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD
Who: Lili "your options are fight me or FIGHT ME" An ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
coastal and YOU!!
When: ic: 6/30, ooc: 4/29 // post-event!
Where: various - mostly the hospital and dojo!
What: 17 and Stabbed isn't a good place for anyone to be in their lives.
Rating/Warning: #justlilithings - but should be nothing really!
[ A : MAN, I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU POISON ME ]
[For those who are already familiar with Lili enough that it can be said that she cares for their well-being, they'll be receiving a text just before everything goes to shit:]
Your status? [Followed by another text:] Also a request for counsel on how to dispose of tenacious robots in the hospital.
[Or maybe she accidentally sends it to a stranger. Always possible.
And she's also going to pray that no one asks in return because she's... she's definitely in the hospital. As for those people who are in the hospital, getting their own scrapes and bruises looked at for whatever reason, there is definitely a fuss coming from one of the rooms where the medical chart outside also definitely says Lili An.]
I have no interest in that!
But Patient #53, your stomach has already growled 3 times in the past hour, which implies that you are in need of sustenance. As such, we suggest you try this fruit cup—
I don't want your alien fruit cup!
[Even though it looks like a normal fruit cup? Regardless, this fruit cup is now going to be chucked at the head of the robonurse that's finally shoved its way into Lili's hospital room. Though after that little stunt, she's immediately wincing. Her rage overpowering her injury isn't exactly a consistently good thing.
Send help.]
[ B : I THREW IT ON THE GROUND ]
[So the creepy post on the network that fills up the screen is enough to unnerve anyone. Yet given the fact that Lili has proven herself to be a ) brash and b ) violent, her reaction is a little... unhealthy. Which is to take the CereVice in her hands and promptly chuck it indiscriminately.
Apparently right out the hospital window.
Look out below!
Whether you're smacked in the face, catch it like the baseball star you're meant to be in another life, or let it clatter to the ground like a loser -
There's one (1) Lili peeking out the hospital window from her hospital bed then.... realizing that she might need that. She's only on the second floor so it's not like it'll be impossible to make eye contact with her, even though she looks somewhere between furious and ashamed and a little pained (maybe don't throw things with an injured shoulder).
Um.]
[ C : THIS AIN'T MYDAD MOM, THIS IS A CELL PHONE (Closed to Otome!) ]
[It's a bit later - she's been in the hospital for an entire 50 hours and 23 minutes now, she's counted - that she finally works up the nerve to text Otome in particular. It's ashamed and fearful, worried and uncertain, but she sends it:]
You're alright, aren't you?
[And... how does she work up the courage to ask for a favor without worrying her?]
[ D : I'M NOT PART OF YOUR SYSTEM ]
[ I - Because Moms come through, Lili's already back at her regular schedule by the second day after everything's settled down. She's going to school, she's going to work, she's going through her day without even flinching.
Yet some might find her walking past the shop intended for weaponry, her gait slowing just enough for her gaze to linger on the swords that are displayed on the shop front. Her breath is held for the slightest second before she tears her gaze from them and almost determinedly tries to walk away—
Which means she's probably likely to just barely avoid bumping into someone.]
Ah - excuse me.
[ II - ALTERNATIVELY - she's at the dojo later that evening, sitting on the floor to the side and currently working on getting her massive amount of hair into a braid so that it doesn't get in her way. Except it looks like she put her usual hair supplies a little too far from her so she's going to wave a hand to catch your attention before pointing at some needlessly fancy hair ties on the floor just out of her reach.]
Grab those for me, will you?
[Listen, some habits just die really hard.]

Grab those for me, will you?
[Listen, some habits just die really hard.]
D-I
Hey, it's you! Still looking for somethin' sharper than your tongue, huh?
[That line is so bad, and he grins like he knows it. At least it's better than "we have got to stop meeting like this," right?]
no subject
[Stoooooop.
Just stoooooop. Lili's somewhere between embarrassed and startled. The former because she was definitely seen looking at weapons and she can't shake off the residual feeling that that's improper for a noble girl of her standing. The latter because-]
I haven't seen you since that time....!
no subject
[It probably is improper, but hanging out with a guy like Kouha is probably even worse, despite his title. She's already sunk now, so don't bother fighting it, Lili!!]
Yeah, it's been a while. Things got a little crazy and there wasn't any time to look for you, so this is lucky!
[He just assumes she knows what he's referring to, considering how adamant she was about it.]
no subject
Look for me...? You remembered?
[That's.
Actually a little embarrassing, she's not sure what to do with that!]
no subject
I gave you my word, didn't I? I might be late followin' up on it, but I didn't forget.
[He huffs like he's not bothered, but really. Don't insult his honor like that, lady!]
What, did you change your mind?
no subject
But then she's just going to shake her head.]
No, absolutely not. I'd never change my mind about that.
no subject
Good. I didn't think you were the kind of girl to back out at the last minute, but you never know.
[Without any other warning, he reaches out and grabs for her hand like it's a completely normal to start hanging on people after only your second meeting.]
Don't think we exchanged names last time, but I'm Ren Kouha. Nice to meet you again~!
no subject
That's her hand being grabbed.
Lili blinks in surprise, tensing up already and clearly uncomfortable, um. Normally people at least ask for her hand before they take it?! WHY SO FORWARD.]
An Lili.... [ . . . . . ] Yes, it's a pleasure?
[There are like six mixed signals in her head and she's not sure if she's supposed to default to politeness or not?!]
no subject
His grin gets a little wider, and Lili might not be feeling very safe while under that look, if she's the type to be wary of mischief and bloodlust.]
Great! We can start now, if you're not busy.
[He may already be tugging her slightly in the direction of the dojo. Maybe.]
no subject
So much.
She's definitely flustering a little bit at that, confused because of a ) that grin b ) that look and c ) HE'S STILL HOLDING HER HAND CAPTIVE.
So she's just going to actually try to pull her hand back?? Kouha, please.]
You don't have to pull me along like this!
no subject
He shakes his head and smiles, gripping a bit tighter as she tries to get away.]
Nah, but I like doin' it. You don't mind, do you?
[He stops yanking, but he still doesn't let go. She's going to have to try harder than that.]
no subject
[SURPRISE.]
I don't know you at all - why should you be allowed to touch me?
[it's too?? familiar???]
no subject
We totally know each other! We've got each other's names and we fought together. What else do you want?
[It's not like they're dating or something, so this is totally good enough for him.]
no subject
Names and one interaction doesn't mean we know each other! What kind of standard do you use for judging people...?!
no subject
It's good enough for acquaintances! I never said we were best friends or anything, so calm down.
[Someday, maybe, but right now would be moving way too fast, even for Kouha.]
no subject
Still though there's an annoyed huff.]
Don't tell me what to do. Where were you raised to be so touchy with acquaintances?
[is this a culture thing]
no subject
In the Imperial Palace in the capital of the Kou Empire, Rakushou.
[He makes no effort to hide his status, but maybe namedropping like that wasn't super tactful. Too late now!]
Nobody there minds when I do it!
no subject
Imperial Palace.]
The royal family allows you to get away with such a thing?!
[DOES SHE THINK KOUHA IS A SERVANT]
no subject
He shrugs. He does notice that she's giving him a look, but he's not sure where she's getting confused, so he doesn't bother to clarify.]
Why not? As long as I don't do it during court or any important meetings, it's fine.
[It's a vast improvement on his childhood attempts to stab the older princes, they'd probably let him get away with anything for that.]
no subject
Shocked even.]
You're part of the royal family?!
[NOT SOMEONE SHE THINKS OF AS ROYAL]
no subject
Yeah! Ren Kouha, Third Prince of the Kou Empire. Oh, and Supreme Commander of the Vanguard, too. You surprised?
[ROYAL AND MILITARY, hope Lili can take this much mental dissonance in one day.]
no subject
But he's so touchy??? And not at all proper! Maybe graceful sometimes but way too overwhelming to be taken seriously?! WHO IS THIS PERSON
HOW DOES HE EXIST]
I....
[she's speechless
????]
T-Truly?
no subject
He knows he's not stereotypically princely, and it's a slightly sensitive topic. He shoots her a slightly affronted face, wondering if she's thinking he's pulling her leg or something.]
Yeah, truly! I haven't told you a single lie! I can have my brother back me up, if you don't believe me.
[He really doesn't want to drag big bro into something this embarrassing, though...]
What do I gotta do to make you believe me?
no subject
However there's an easy question that she feels the need to ask, because whether he's lying or not, his answer is important if he's going around saying he's royal.]
Just tell me - what do you think the job of royalty is?
no subject
[He looks at her, suddenly much more serious. That's an interesting question... Either she's involved in politics somehow back home, or she's got a grudge. No matter what, he can tell that he needs to give a decent answer, or she's not going to be keen to listen to him in the future.]
There's way too many to list like that, but I guess... The most important one is uniting the people.
[He really believes that, and it's his country's main official goal. Even if their way of doing things is hated and judged by other countries, he still believes in that cause.]
