one. it was a gentle tap, really

[ today malia is trying to Do Her Best. well, that's probably every day with her but today she's trying to do her best when it comes to just basic shopping. she's saved up quite a bit of money over her months here and is looking for a way to spend it today. she just... doesn't want anything, is the problem? either way, she drags herself to the marketplace today with the decision that she will spend something. for herself. that's not clothes or food. something beyond THE BASIC NECESSITIES. it's crazy.

right now, she's looking in the window of a shoe store, looking between the very fancy ones in the window and then her own boots. she runs a hand through her hair with a sigh and --

Hello! Would you like to try a free sample? she's interrupted by a robot. ]

No, I'm fine, I--

[ Our records indicate that you have not made a purchase in the Marketplace yet. Please, let us help you make a purchase! ]

No, really, I don't need any--

[ Refusal to comply will result in detainment! Come with me, come with me! and then the robot grabs her arm. big mistake.

there's what sounds like a growl there and suddenly malia lifts her foot to kick it right into the robot's chest. the robot goes flying, crashing right through at least three stalls and through the wall of a building. debris everywhere and the crowd looks over at malia. ]

Ohhh, shit.

[ does anyone want to help her?! ]

two. accidentally delinquent'd

version a:

[ lunch time! malia doesn't like school, she's not very good at it and she doesn't have many friends because she's an anti-social poop. still, she keeps going because it's the one stable tie that she has to something similar to life at home. she's still failing half her classes and struggling to maintain C's but she's trying, at least.

lunch time is nice though. free food, peace and quiet, and she doesn't get graded for it. today is her favorite -- large piles of meat and she orders two helpings. the problem is, with such big helpings she has to be very careful how to walk in order not to tip them over. which is why you (yes, YOU) are going to be in super big trouble when there is an inevitable collision and malia's food goes everywhere. there's a beat of silence before she growls, snapping her teeth at you. ]

Hey! Watch where the hell you're going!

version b:

[ alternatively: if you don't want to be on the bad side of malia, there is always detention. yep, unfortunately if you didn't bump into malia, someone else did and there was a very big scuffle over it. this scuffle has landed malia in detention for the entire next two weeks because APPARENTLY the school frowns on biting your peers. go figure.

so, if you are the unfortunate soul to end up with her, be graced with a malia tate sitting in the back of the detention room and flinging rubber bands at their robot teacher supervisor. who apparently doesn't really care. how annoying. ]

three. this is only funny if you've watched only god forgives too

[ today there is a teen girl at the gym, dressed very gym-y and with her hair tied back. she's been going at it with the punching bags for a while, practicing skills she's learned from a certain ninja over her time here and just feeling pretty good. she's getting bored though, the adrenaline building up more and more until she sends a very frustrated hand through the bag, sending filling everywhere. she stares down at the mess, giving an awkward cough before walking away.

then, perhaps, she spots you who are also equally exercising here at the gym. she might watch whatever you're doing for a while before approaching, an eager grin on her face as she bounces on her toes. ]

Hey, hey. Wanna fight?

[ she doesn't look that intimidating, right? ]

wildcard. insert lycanthropy joke here

[ seriously she's a loser, someone save her from her loser-y ways. ]

(( OOC: holy shit i'm really slow and super sorry for it! i'm still getting to these, just. slowly. ))

[ At least her basic instincts are still working..

But fine, he'll be helpful. Sort of? Not really? But he wants to annoy talk to her a little more, and he realises it isn't going to happen if she just gets caught here by whatever guards might be around.

So he's already casually sauntering over to the exit. ]

Are you coming already then, accident lady..?

[scenting]

[ if there's one thing malia can be trusted for, it's killer instincts. hurr hurr hurr.

but oh, right. she immediately catches up to him, pushing through the door and slipping out in the madness. she'll wait for shuu even though she 100% doesn't trust them and when they're in the clear, she narrows her eyes at him. ]

Do I know you...?

[puerilely]

Hmm, maybe?

[ She totally knows him, since he recognizes her. But it's pretty obvious that her own recognition over here is coming a little more slowly, so he just raises his shoulders for a moment with a slight smile - edging on a grin, really. ]

Isn't it sort of rude to ask that to the other person? If you don't recognize them, you could reaaaally hurt them, you know! [ Except joke's on Shuu he doesn't have feelings.. most of the time... ]

[scenting]

[ even if she doesn't remember his face, she totally recognizes this annoyance. her upper lip curls a little at his smarmy comment and she crosses her arms, frowning after. ]

It's better than pretending I remember you. That's way more rude.

[ shut up shuu, damnit. ]

[puerilely]

[ He tilts his head a little with a small smirk, as if to say "would it be?" without words. Shuu would totally pretend to remember people if it could benefit him one way or another, okay, but he doesn't have common decency the way Malia does.

Instead he spins on his heels for a moment, looking back at the store. ]

It doesn't look like you've made a lot of friends here though.. I sure hope they won't come looking for you! [ Yeah, that totally sounded genuine and not not-so-secretly excited at all, Shuu. ]

[scenting]

[ you really have to be the piece of shit here when malia tate has more "common decency" than you. hilarious.

but ah, she can pick up a threat when she hears one so her eyes go wide and she grabs a fist full of shuu's hair before beginning to drag him the other way like that. ]

They're not going to come looking for me and if you know what's good for you, you won't help them either. Now, come on!

[puerilely]

Ah-- [ Shuu might be a demon and have incredible strength and healing abilities and all, but none of that does a whole lot against someone grabbing your hair and dragging you along. In fact, he basically just looks like a very tall little whining kid as he's dragged along. ]

Ouchouchouch-- hey, that hurts..!

[ Said as if you've never hurt someone in your life, Shuu.. you got to be able to take it when you dish it out yourself!! ]

[scenting]

[ she doesn't even feel bad for the guy! just keeps... dragging him along, yep. at his complaints, she'll roll her eyes. ]

If I let you go, will you keep being annoying?

[puerilely]

I'm not being annoying!

[ That's exactly the sound of a little kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar denying that they were doing anything at all.. It's not convincing in the slightest, even as he's half-glaring, half-pouting up at her. Fearsome demon here, you guys. ]

I'm not the one causing trouble in public, right..?

[ Not this time, you mean. ]

[scenting]

[ this is not an answer that makes malia happy therefore this is an answer that keeps her hand gripping tight on shuu's hair. sorry, shuu.

except not because you're terrible. ]

That was an accident! The robot just showed up and -- I don't have to explain myself to you. You're that ass, aren't you? The one who always bugs me about not being human.

[ SHE FINALLY REMEMBERED. ]
