Who:

mermaiding & all yall
When: Dec. 19th?? Ish??
Where: Apartments + Around
What: Oona making her rounds dropping off very expensive and pretty jewelry to her CR and to random passer-bys.
Rating/Warning: Should be none....

[Oona likes pretty things; she's fairly shallow and she totally knows it. So any money that isn't spent on rent is thrown at any pretty jewelry she sees-- she doesn't even wear it, she just likes having them around the house to look at. But sometimes it gets a bit too much even for her, and sometimes she accidentally buys duplicates and really what's a mermaid to do? Shower friends and strangers with the cast-offs, of course!]

[A: Apartments, CR Version]

[If you're someone who Oona would consider a close friend, have a very insistent knocking at the door! Or maybe your door's unlocked for god knows what reason and Oona's just gone ahead and helped herself inside. There's a bag in her arms, and she gets busy searching through it.]

You are home, yes? Have something for you. Accept it.

[And that's that!!]

[B: Apartments, Not-As-Close CR or Passer-Bys]

[If Oona doesn't know you well enough to want to go waltzing into your home, she can be found crouched outside some doors in a TOTALLY NOT SUSPICIOUS WAY, trying to figure out how to deliver the bracelet or necklace or ring in a way that wasn't confronting the person together. Because that would be awkward.

Like laying on the ground and trying to shove a piece of jewelry under the doorframe wasn't.]

[C: About town.]

[She still has quite a bit left over, which is pretty frustrating. Not that she wouldn't like to just keep it all to herself, but it's taking up space she needs for newer jewelry. Priorities, okay?

So maybe she recognizes you--or maybe she doesn't, either way, the tiny mermaid approaches out of nowhere] You! Hold still! [Oona eyes the person in question critically before digging through her bag and pulling out the piece of jewelry, something that matches the person she's talking to. Either their hair, their eyes, aesthetic... Something.

She holds it out smugly.] Here! Take it. Should feel special, you are welcome.

[who's that knockin at the door........

Actually, Kaoru makes an accurate guess before Oona even speaks up. WHO ELSE IS THAT INSISTENT no one.]

One moment, please—

[Muffled, from the interior of the house somewhere... After a few seconds, Kaoru opens the front door. Something sure smells good inside! This punk seems to be in the middle of doing some kitchenwork, and hasn't bothered taking the apron off yet.]

Ah, Oona-san. Would you like to come in? [Looking curious, though! Kaoru's gotten some weird things before when people just stop by like "I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU". It's an adventure every time...]

I don't want it.

[Not even taking it. Absolutely rude. Then again, all he wears is armor, pants, and a red cloak. He obviously doesn't have a sense of style.]

Whatever you want to do with that, it doesn't have to do with me.

[As Oona crouched by the doorway, it will suddenly fling open as Rock Lee prepares to dash out. He looks excited as he looks straight ahead of himself into the hallway and raises his arms in a cheer.]

It's a new day!!

Yes! [She looks pleased that she's being invited in so easily, then instantly curious at the apron and smell of food.]

Ah, you can cook? [Interest +20. She makes her way inside, search of the bag momentarily discontinued to focus on this debatable more important topic] Did not know! What are you making?

[Makes a face]

Rude.

Take it anyway, I do not want it. [AGGRESSIVELY TRIES TO HAND IT OVER.]

[woah wait hoLD ON. Oona rocks unsteadily in surprise at the door suddenly opening, toppling over towards Lee's legs when she unbalances too far]

Ah! Watch out! [She says it like somehow this is his fault.......]

Wha-! [Lee did not expect a mermaid at his feet, and his reflexes don't quite kick in fast enough, so... he is getting tripped over.]

Ooh- Oona-san?!

[AGGRESSIVELY SHRUGGING.

If that were even possible. Which, this is Archer so it is.]

Have you tried just living with it? That seems like something you should learn how to do.

[Holding the door open so that she can come in! There's nothing breakable in this apartment, that's the true reason Oona's let in so easily...]

I can, yes. I haven't mentioned it before? [Clearly not, since Oona doesn't require domestic services like SOME LAZY BUMS.] I was making a fresh batch of tea cakes and some grilled fish for later. [...] I do still need to tend to them, but if you don't mind waiting, I could send you off with some.

[HUFFS??] What are you doing?! Do you not look before you run!

[Says the girl crouching outside his door like a weirdo. She sits up and rubs at her side with a scowl.] Where are you going?

[Just stares...]

You are friendless loser type, with attitude like that, yes?

If that what it takes to avoid getting anything worthless then yes. I'm a friendless loser type.

I- I am sorry!! It was foolish of me. [He just immediately accepts the idea that he's the one in his wrong... He quickly moves to regain his balance and then reaches with one hand to help her up.]

As for where I was going... I was prepared to go off on my morning jog!

["nothing breakable" HA. not with THAT attitude there isn't!]

Have not. [She's pretty happy to find out though. Since she spends most of her money on useless pretty baubles, she probably has friends cooking for her a lot... or just eats out with whatever money's left over. Whoops.

But she could definitely be on her best behavior for the promise of food.] Mm! Can wait. I have something for you anyhow, but it can wait a little!

[don't ruin Kaoru's hopeful, foolish expectations...

Making a little noise of agreement at that, though!]

Thank you for waiting. I'll get some tea ready for you; you could have a seat in there, if you'd like- [a gesture toward the seating area with its low table. Kaoru's HoloGM pack makes his apartment look kind of similar to Tenka's in basic design; very traditional.

Kaoru is also well-aware that this is a disastrous thing to offer, but:] -Or you could accompany me in the kitchen.

[Good bye, kitchen. Rest in peace.

Also, as an over-the-shoulder addendum while walking back toward said kitchen:] You have something for me?

[ Mercury was on his way home when he sees Oona outside by his door. He may not be the most angelic of people, but he's sure he hasn't committed any crimes in Cerealia... yet. So why would anyone be snooping around his house?

... then again, it is a girl. ]

I'm sorry. [ He stops right in front of Oona, both hands in his pockets, and a cheerful smile on his face. ] The owner isn't inside.

What... exactly are you doing?

[Leia is working her beat around town when she's approached by a stranger. She stops, surprised at the girl's sudden calling out to her.]

Yes, is there something I can- [She's cut off as the girl gives her a emerald pendant on a gold chain. It's not overly large, but it's a nice cut and nicer than most of the things she now owns.]

I can't accept this. I don't even know who you are.

[Look, the last time he answered the door, someone threw strawberry milk at his face. You'll have to forgive him for being a little more wary this time as he opens that door and--

Uh.]

Oona?

["Something"...?? Why though.]

[worthless excuse you this shit was expensive oona only gets the best okay]

[JUST THROWS IT AT HIM.

TAKE THAT.]

Will come with you. [She's curious to actually see Kaoru in the kitchen; a domestic scene that she can't quite imagine herself and needs to be seen in person.] Will not touch anything.

[It might say something about Oona that this is something she feels the need to promise even as she follows Kaoru back.] But yes, I do! Will not tell you, will show you. It is surprise.

[Oona's actually quite proud of it, because this isn't exactly a cast-off of her horde. She doesn't have a duplicate laying around, it's just something she saw that made her think it would suit her friend much more.

And true to her word, Oona clasps her hands together behind her back as if to resist the temptation to start poking at things. She takes food very seriously, okay?? Nothing to jeopardize her chances of getting some!]

But I want to put it on you.

[She drops the bag and the bracelet she was trying to wiggle under the door in surprise, sitting up right with a wide-eyed, 'who me?' sort of expression.]

Ha? [Her brow furrows in confusion and she looks from the door to him] Is this not your place?

[Which doesn't answer the question of what she was doing, but look, first things first...]

[oh.] Yes, well... [She almost feels bad that he's willing to just accept that blame right off the bat. Almost.]

A morning... jog? [Oh, a jog. Like a run. Her nose wrinkles] Why?

[Beams at him!! Hello friend.]

Sousei! Good, it is you. Let me in? [Look at this face, how could you not trust her]
