002 ◈ [Video]

[funkindofwicked]

[She hasn't been in a real fight, hasn't punched anyone through a wall, hasn't even found someone annoying enough that she could justify killing yet. Someone might just be bored out of her mind, to the point that Tea is willing to even take suggestions from the rest of the population.]

So besides being used for labor and expected to save the world whenever they need us to, what the hell is there to do around here? Because I'm finding a whole lot of nothing and sitting around doing nothing is not something I enjoy. The gangs around here just aren't enough to keep me occupied. [She starts to think of ways she can make her own fun when she's bored--which some people may not approve of.]

The little trip under the sea at least was something to do--before it started to get old. Is someone trying to kill us with boredom?

[She laughs, and it is not kind.] No wonder you're not bored. You've barely lived enough to know what boredom is.

[...He can't really argue that.] Have you lived a long time, then?

[funkindofwicked]

[She snorts softly. Technically, she hasn't even been alive for five years.] It's not how long you've been alive, it's how much you've lived.

How much you've lived... [That sounds pretty cool. Especially considering it's been less than a week since he first got to leave his house.] I wouldn't mind having lived a little more.

[She totally stole that quote from somewhere else, but if he wants to think she's being profound, he can go right ahead. But not he's coming across really naive. This could be fun.]

So what living have you done, so far?

[twomeals]

Well, um...I've been to a festival, and gone shopping, and...made friends! So far.

[funkindofwicked]

So far. [She repeats it with a condescending humor.]

You haven't run into any of the...less than scrupulous natives around?

video;

[twomeals]

I don't think so. Maybe because I'm new here? [Though he's not sure he wants to meet anyone unscrupulous.]

[funkindofwicked]

[Tea thinks she maybe found something to keep her entertained.]

Well then how about I show you around and let you know who you should be avoiding? You wouldn't even realize the kind of unsavory people there are around here.

[twomeals]

Oh, I'd like that! You probably know a lot more than I do, right? So that would be really helpful.

I haven't been idle since I got here, I've made sure to get to know the best locations in the city. I'm sure we can find some places you'll like.

[She knows enough to wonder how amusing it will be to throw him into a brothel and see how he reacts.]

[twomeals]

Okay! I'm really looking forward to it, um...oh right, what's your name? I'm Yue!

[Oh no, not a brothel.....]

[funkindofwicked]

Friends call me Tea. [This was too easy. Not even a challenge. But at least she'll get something out of it.]

Now, since I'm bored and you don't even know what you should be doing, let's meet up near the fancy jewelry store in Fire Sector near the center of the city.

[twomeals]

Fancy jewelry store...okay, I'll go look for it! I think the fire sector's not too far from here.

[Gonna go out, gonna make a new friend~ Hopefully!]

[funkindofwicked]

See you there, then. [Like a mouse sniffing his way cheerily into the trap. Galatea has no problem heading to the jewelry store and standing outside of it. If he takes too long, she'll get bored easily, but she does have a little patience.]

[twomeals]

[He doesn't take too long, though he might be a few minutes late - the scenery's so distracting, he can't help slowing down to get a better look around. He breaks into a...slowish jog though, once he sees her at the destination.]

Hello!

action;

[funkindofwicked]

[She brings up a hand to give a little wave, looking him over as she does so. He looks fragile. Not the kind she likes, but she's sure she'll make it fun anyway.]

Good, now let's go. I'm sure you've got a curfew or something and we wouldn't want you to be late, would we? Anywhere you haven't been yet? I was thinking a walk around the block here would be...fun. [And close to one of the brothels.]

action;

[twomeals]

A curfew? [Oh right, he remembers that word--] Um, I haven't been most places yet...mostly I've been staying near my...house. [Not a house, he's forgotten the word, but whatever. He brings up a hand to the ever-present mask on his head, smiling cheerfully.] So around the block sounds fine to me!
