♦ 03 - Three of a Kind

[demondealergirl]

[The weather is nice today, and Gumi's doing a little cleaning of her apartment above the cafe. Maybe PH!Gumi made a mess when she broke in came over or maybe PF!Gumi is trying to make the place smell like soap just to spite her. The windows to her third floor apartment are wide open, and occasionally a dust cloud puffs through them

[... s-staring at those dust clouds as they float by]

I'm fairly sure 'spring cleaning' is supposed to be done in spring, and not the height of summer.

[demondealergirl]

[Gumi pauses and leans out the window]

Did I say anything about spring?

[vocaloidiot]

Oh, come on, you're totally hitting all the cliches for it! You might as well just go the whole hog and hang a rug out the window to beat!

[demondealergirl]

[She pauses for a moment then goes inside]

[Out of the window comes a rug being tossed at a decent speed. It lands next to Kaito]

Be my guest.

[vocaloidiot]

--I meant hang, not throw--!

[vocaloidiot]

[skitters to one side of it]

[demondealergirl]

Oh dear, I must have misheard you. I'm not used to having time for these kinds of things.

[/totally didn't mishear]

[vocaloidiot]

That's no excuse for just outright throwing a rug at me!

[demondealergirl]

Ah, but I threw it next to you. It was never my intention to actually hit you.

[vocaloidiot]

That kind of thing won't help! My survival instincts are sharper than that.

[demondealergirl]

[Gumi rests her elbows on the window frame]

Then how about one pint of ice cream for cleaning the rug?

[vocaloidiot]

You know, I'm kind of spotting this pattern where everyone who threatens me immediately offers me a bribe as if I'll forget that sold.

[demondealergirl]

I'll even let you choose the flavor.

[She ducks in again, and the dust starts to fly again]

[vocaloidiot]

... haah... well, I guess I'll have to find a beater. You don't have one up there, right?

[demondealergirl]

[from inside]

Will a bent, empty shotgun do?

[She got during a grab bag fight]

[vocaloidiot]

... no! No, it won't! I'm not cleaning up with a shotgun! That has terrible connotations written all over it!
