[ Good evening, folks. Today, you get three not so lovely options as Monaco does her best to adapt to Mayfield.

Un: After thoroughly complaining about the bland clothing here, Monaco can be seen on the porch with a sewing kit, ripping off the extra length to a poofy skirt while altering her blouse. A few needles may or may not whizz right by your

Trois

[Damn, there's a chest covered in pie.]

Ack!

[At least she isn't ruining any terribly expensive clothing. Her hand may be a little crummy and full of blueberry stains now, but that's not going to stop her from awkwardly trying to brush off pieces of the pie from his chest, and now she's going to babble sheepishly.] I should have been watching where I was going, I'm sorry! I can pay to have it replaced, if you'd like.

I should hope so, I-[Wait a second, talking to a pretty girl.]

[TARGET LOCKED]

*AHEM* Sorry, my mouth gets the better of me sometimes. Don't worry about the shirt, it's not important. We need to do something about your lack of pie, though.

[juvante]

[She looks a bit horrified at first, but that quickly transitions into a polite, somewhat awkward smile as she gives him his room.] Oh, it's not too much of a hassle. My...."son" has a bit of an appetite, but it won't hurt to make another.

[inventor_king]

The very picture of generosity! I feel like I'm at least partially to blame here. Should've been watching where I was going at the very least. Can I make it up to you somehow?

[juvante]

Ah, well, it's necessary to prove my worth to the others. It isn't a terribly big problem, really! I did ruin your shirt, after all. I suppose that makes us quite even.

[inventor_king]

I have many shirts, you have just the one pie. At least let me know your name! Mine is Edgar.

[juvante]

It doesn't take much time to make others. I don't mind. Ah, it's nice to meet you, Edgar. Monaco, though I suppose Grace works just as well.

[inventor_king]

Grace. I can see you're busy right now, but would you be interested in, say, dinner, at some later date?

[juvante]

[She's just going to stare at him for a couple of seconds. Maybe a bit skeptical, but still unfalteringly polite. Pff what are friends and fake families. But she simply nods, that polite smile faintly tugging at the corners of her lips.] I suppose it couldn't hurt. I've been exploring the town too much to properly meet any friends that aren't from my world.

[inventor_king]

It'll be a learning opportunity for us both, I haven't been here very long myself.

[juvante]

[Nods.] I arrived over the weekend. I still haven't fully figured this place out, but it seems rather safe.

[inventor_king]

It certainly could be worse. I've been hit things fare less pleasant than pies.

For now, I think it might be best to go our own ways. You have a pie to bake, and I... [He picks a few blueberries off his shirt.] need to change.

But perhaps we can meet again here at, say, Saturday, 8:00?

[juvante]

Ah, of course. I'll meet you then.
