IN THE BACKGROUND. SOMEWHERE. MAYBE. No.

/The sugar glider looks similar, she's a little longer in shape. And she's called a sugar glider since they enjoy eating sweet things like fruit. And actually, from what I heard, Alice found this little guy at the hot springs and the house convinced her to take it home with her. But sugar gliders and flying squirrels exist in my world; they're domestic pets in some areas./

Ginia gave a reassuring smile and motioned for Cissnei to follow her into the house, picking up the laundry basket on the way. The personalities in the household were certainly varied and a few of them stronger than others, but Ginia trusted all of them with her life and liked all of them. Sanzo was perhaps the only exception, but that was only because they hadn't talked as much and not because he was any less trustworthy even if he did shoot at Gojyo and Goku whenever they began to argue.

/Welcome to the zoo,/ Ginia commented on her device after setting the laundry basket down on the couch. She'd spent the afternoon tidying up, but there were some things in the household that never changed; the ashtray on the table, the magazines and newspaper stacked neatly by the coffee table, and the bullet holes in the wall. Such was home.

That shady character leaning against the wall? OH YEEEAH YEEEAH I SEE HER. XD

[tsengsilence]

Cissnei nodded to show that she had heard and understood, and began to walk, or trudge, behind Ginia as they entered the house. It seemed empty and quiet enough. Cissnei's hopes soared, but she didn't really know why herself.

Laughing at Ginia's comment, Cissnei took a look around. It looked how a house with many occupants was supposed to look, but Cissnei could feel the homeliness in this place, the warmth. Perhaps one day she could be part of this warmth. She noted the ashtray and told herself to stay away from the owner, if they ever met: she didn't like the smell. Other than that, the place looked nice.

She almost commented on the wall, but held herself back.
"It feels and looks great."

[shadedsunlight]

Ginia smiled at Cissnei's compliment and motioned for her to take a seat on any of the chairs or the couch in the living room before she went to the kitchen. Even if Cissnei didn't ask for any food, it was getting late in the day and Ginia wEnt sure if she'd eaten or not; there was the maternal side showing through. Ginia poured a glass of water and pulled out a small bowl of berries from the fridge and carried them out on a tray and set them on the coffee table before she took her PCD back out.

/Help yourself. Best to eat a little before the boys eat everything. Dinner is later in the evening./

Kanzeon had napped, and as usual after a nap, she was sleepy and grumpy, and in need of caffeine. Meeting the next guest did not register on er list of to-do things for now.

She blinked as she walked into the living room and saw Cissnei there. She then promptly ignored the scene, walked into the kitchen, got some cold coffee into a mug, then came back to the living room, flopped down in a chair, stole a cigarette from one of Gojyo's pack laying there and lit up by snapping her fingers.

She took a long drag out of the cigarette, a drink of the coffee, and sighed happily.

"Hello, girls."

((OOC : For Cissnei-mun, Kanzeon is in her usual get up and as such half-naked from the waist up, with very visisble breasts.))

[tsengsilence]

Cissnei laughed a little at that, obediently seating herself down before the table, going for the glass more than the berries. As Cissnei heard a door opening and closing, a little confused as to what to do, she turned to Ginia with a pleading look in her eyes, glass still in her hand. Nervously, she took a sip and didn't dare look up.

But at the greeting, Cissnei's head snapped up as she replied automatically, "Hello."

Soon she wished she hadn't.

[lecherous_kappa]

Hearing noise in the kitchen, Gojyo put up his utter failure of an attempt at woodcarving. "Come on, you," he said to Zhong as he moved her from his stomach to his shoulder, getting up. He wandered downstairs just in time to see Cissnei see Kanzeon. Now there was something he was glad he hadn't missed.

"Damn, Spiky, and that's mild in this house. You might want to get used to strange shit going on. Hell, we've got monkey that tries to eat everything. Are you up for this?" His grin was teasing as e leaned against the wall.

[shadedsunlight]

Having lived with Kanzeon for so long, Ginia was quite used to the way the Living Embodiment of Mercy and Compassion dressed (if dressed could even be used to describe what little clothing sie wore) and reminding Cissnei about it was something that had slipped her mind. She bowed politely to the Goddess before giving Cissnei an apologetic look and quickly typed out a message.

/I'm sorry, I forgot to warn you about the way Kanzeon dresses. But meet Kanzeon./

To Kanzeon, Ginia smiled and motioned toward Cissnei. /Kanzeon, this is Cissnei./

Ginia looked over when Gojyo entered the room and gave him a small smile and waved her fingers at Zhong. From her own shoulder, Paa squeaked and twitched his tail at his sugar glider cousin.

[tsengsilence]

Cissnei cringed very slightly in her seat and for a moment, she felt like a cat bristling. Watching carefully (and avoiding looking at the Goddess), Cissnei observed how politely Ginia bowed and stopped herself from raising an eyebrow. Bending forward slightly to read the message, Cissnei made no sound other than something that sounded like a tiny "Right".

At the sound of another person entering the room, Cissnei turned back in her seat, away from Ginia, and looked towards the voice. Something in her neck cricked. She didn't want to know what. Hearing his remark, she turned to look at Ginia again, whilst speaking.

"Maybe."

[kannon_sama]

Kanzeon nodded in Cissnei's direction with a flick of the cigarette, and threw the pack towards Gojyo.

"Thanks for that one."

She finished her cold coffee and poked Cissnei in the ribs.

"My eyes are up there, cupcake, and they're safe to look at."

[tsengsilence]

Cissnei let out a weird-sounding gasp when she was poked in the ribs, rubbing at it with her hand, forgetting herself and turning back to give a accusatory glare at the Goddess. There you go, she's done it.
So Ginia had warned her, but still.

Cissnei felt the pain in her ribs recede, but her temper definitely hadn't.
She tried to calm down, though. She didn't want to be called Spiky her whole life. She tried. So she put her eyes on the cup on the coffee table.
There, a wonderfully inanimate object.
