Day 88:: Can you hear me, I know I'm just a whisper...

[bastionpc]

Who: Everyone!
Status: Open
When: Day 88
Where: The Bastion
What: NPC and PC mingling
Format: Action
Warnings: None

[The excitement of the day before moves in to the quiet of the day after in the Bastion. It's fairly calm after all that, and the two new arrivals have been mostly healed. Current residents will find the once-armored woman bandaged still but in surprisingly good spirits, and the male with the guitar skittish and likely to jump at the smallest thing.

This would be a good point to talk to them, other NPCs or even your fellow NPCs.]

[unflattering]

Ahh--

[So much dirt! And what's with that rock?]

Night? what are you doing?

[nightchan]

[Surprises everywhere!]

Building a garden! [She grins at him, bits of dirt on her cheek.]

[unflattering]

[So enthusiastic...about dirt.

He shakes his head and kneels down next to her to have a look.]

It's not going to be much of a garden with that rock in the way!

[nightchan]

Ah... [She glances over to the rock, smile faltering.] That's for Monaka. I... saved some of her ash and buried it underneath that rock. [Starts pulling at a weed.] She loved flowers, so...

[unflattering]

...[




Then Maka slapped himself in the face.]

R-right...of course...

[nightchan]

[She smiles again.]

Do you like flowers, Maka?

[unflattering]

Mm...

[Give him a moment, the last time he remembers flowers is Crona piling them onto him as gifts while he was paralyzed helplessly in a coffin.]

They're nice...I do try to keep a flower in my room most of the time. Brightens up the place, you know?

[nightchan]

I noticed. [Remember, she sleeps in your room sometimes.]

Monaka was... very good at arranging flowers into beautiful bouquets. She could make even the weeds I brought her into works of art.

[unflattering]

[Well there go his ears turning red again, dammit Night.]

Ah, so she saw beauty in everything most likely.

[nightchan]

She did. Even me. [A haggard, poorly treated cat.]

[unflattering]

Well, you are cute, that's easy to see.

[Kitties...]

[nightchan]

[Red as a tomato suddenly.]

Th... Thank you.

[unflattering]

[Derp.]

What?

[...Oh crap, that's one of those things guys say to girls when they're being flirty. Shit.]

Sorry, I didn't mean to say something embarrassing.

[nightchan]

[She smiles brightly again, cheeks a little pink still but she seems to have gotten over her flustered state.]

Oh no, it isn't embarrassing! It was nice of you to say, so thank you. I think you look very cute too, Maka.

[unflattering]

...Ah.

[Should he say thanks or be confused? Nobody ever really...said things like that to him back in his world. He got praised for his accomplishments, sure, but nobody ever called him cute.]

Th...thanks. [No he's not embarrassed, of course he's not embarrassed, shut up stop looking at him.]

[nightchan]

[Her smile stays up, going back to pulling out weeds slowly, careful to take the roots out with them.]

Have you met any of the new arrivals?
