4th Adventure

[forever_cheery]

Action A: Aurora Belle is all over town this afternoon and Thursday. I do mean everywhere. She's sitting in the park, sifting through colorful fallen leaves and choosing between them with a discerning look. She's at the toy store looking in a bin of multi-colored rubber balls, checking from a list in her hand. She's at the pharmacy, looking at

[One moment there is nothing very interesting through that house window.

The next, there is this face staring back.]

[bogusmagicker]

...

[Yuki will, without warning, turn and slowly head for the stairs. Aurora may follow or not as she likes.]

[forever_cheery]

Umm...

[Aurora looks in, and then cautiously follows after Yuki.]

[bogusmagicker]

[Yuki will eventually reach her room, which she shuts behind her. ...Aurora may be slightly offput by that. Aurora may also feel slightly offput by the strange flash of purple light from underneath the door before it opens sharply again.

Yuki hands Aurora a box of 100 fresh, new Crayola crayons.]

[forever_cheery]

[She stands outside blinking and feeling really awkward, wondering if she should leave, when the door opens. She just lights up at that.]

OH! Oh wow! That's perfect!

[bogusmagicker]

[Yuki will nod slightly. That was why she had made it. Whatever Aurora needed color for, she would have been much better off just buying a box of paints or markers.]

[forever_cheery]

Thanks so much. Do I owe you anything?

[bogusmagicker]

[Yuki seems to consider this for a moment or two before shaking her head slowly.]

Nothing is owed for that which is freely given.

[forever_cheery]

Oh, really? Thanks! I will make it up to you, I promise. What's your name?

[bogusmagicker]

Yuki Nagato.

[She doesn't ask for Aurora's. Rude.]

[forever_cheery]

Nice to meet you, Yuki! I'm Aurora. I'm going to look the best at this homecoming dance, now!

[bogusmagicker]

[She will nod slightly.]

...The colors were sought for the celebration?

[forever_cheery]

I met this girl named Elizabeth who said she would trade me jewelry to wear to the homecoming dance, if I collected thirty-one colors for her. Maybe she'll give me more for all this.

[bogusmagicker]

...Why are the colors needed?

[forever_cheery]

I don't know. She didn't say, she just asked for them.

[bogusmagicker]

[Yuki will continue to stare blankly for some time before responding with]

I see.

[She does not. In any case, she will slowly begin to pad back towards the stairs.]
