★ 26 [backdated to April 1]

[Miakis has been keeping to herself since her encounter with the Milk Mech, wisely choosing to let her injuries heal rather than run off and get herself into even more trouble

[ He walks up behind her, and observes the sign a moment before speaking ]

Glad to see you're up and about.

[She glances over her shoulder at the sound of his voice and greets him with a smile.]

Yup! I'll probably get yelled at for it later, but I feel a lot better now. Thanks for the help back there~

[ action ]

[walkwaves]

Not a problem.

... I don't suppose you know what April Fool's Day is?

[sting_like_a]

Not really. [She glances back up at the sign.] But it looks like the town played a funny little prank on us. How clever of them~

[hontobakabaka]

[Looks at the sign next to her]

"Its very.... Loud. Too bad there's no way to glue it to the house so they can't take it down. It may be funny if it was still there in July."

[sting_like_a]

I'd really rather just get rid of it. It's kinda obnoxious. [And this is coming from Miakis.]

[hontobakabaka]

[Remember, Ruri doesn't know Miakis is a troll yet]

"Then just ignore it. This is a deliberate taunt, and destroying it is just playing into their game."

[sting_like_a]

I guess. It'd still be reaaaaaaaally satisfying, though~

[mayflychaser]

[A man in a red trenchcoat already seems to be standing near the sign. His expression is much more...blank. Confused.]

[sting_like_a]

[Glances at him before staring up at the sign.]

The town's up to its old tricks again, huh.

[mayflychaser]

[He turned, brought back to his senses once again. The blank expression soon turned into an oddly goofy smile.]

Is it? I'm kind of new here...seems like a strange introduction.

[sting_like_a]

They do strange things like this all the time. [Miakis can't help but return the smile. Finally, another cheerful person!] You get used to it~

New, huh? That's a nice way to be introduced to the town, jeez! But, well -- things'll probably be quiet for a while now, at least, so you can get settled in better, I guess.

[wristsniper]

[Staring. At the phone. No, wait, glowering at the phone. And sparkling angrily.

She thinks you knew about this Zevran business, Miakis, and she is MOST DISPLEASED.

You are treated to seething (familiar) dead air.]

[sting_like_a]

[Uh-oh. She is definitely familiar with that dead air...]

H-Hello? Anyone there...?

[wristsniper]

......

[CLICK]

[sting_like_a]

[S-Staring at the phone, a little bewildered.]

Was that-- well, it might've been important... Maybe I should call back~?

[BUT WHY IS SHE SO SCARED

d-dialing...]

Totes meant to tag this, but I was moving and stuff and then I forgot. Backtags coolie?

[pygmalion_perv]

[Here's Hachibe strollin' on by the Smiths' house. He, too, is staring. But not at the sign. No, his gaze is fixed squarely upon Miakis' perfectly shaped vase-like curves. For the moment, he's just standing there watching.]

I will backtag unto infinity with you bb~

[sting_like_a]

[Miakis doesn't notice Hachibe right away. In fact, she's about to turn and walk away, rolling her eyes, and finally spots him staring.]

...Hi?

Yeeeeaaaah, time for DEM CURVES

[pygmalion_perv]

[Hachibe takes a second to snap out of it, but then he flashes a big grin and waves enthusiastically. If Miakis is paying attention at all to where his eyes are, they're still riveted to her waistline rather than her face.]

Hi!

DEMMM CURRRRRRRRRVES~

[sting_like_a]

[Yeah dude this kid is more obvious about his gawking than Ken is.

She gives Hachibe a flat look, and her voice is totally deadpan.]

Can I help you?
