Kano and Eru | Walls

[mythomaniac3]

The intensity with which she stared down the wall had Kano snickering, albeit muffled behind his hand out of a smidgen of courtesy. It reminded him of some kind of wild cat having found a juicy rabbit, using the paint so as to further entice it. Yep, a curious little kitty indeed.

"Ahaha, then I’ll await your masterpiece, Eru-san!" A quiet twinge told him he shouldn’t be encouraging others into his bad habits, but it couldn’t hurt to just see what she’d do, right? She wouldn’t fall as far as he had, right?

He stepped behind her, cocking his head to her level trying to see from her point of view. Was that… oh, you had to be kidding.

This time he couldn’t hold back, cackling at the outline taking shape on the wall. Of course. He should’ve expected as much. “It’s just… so cute… pfft—”

"Ah-- Thank you! I think..."

Was laughing something you did when you thought something was cute? Well, she could remember a few times her uncle had done that when he'd messed around with her after all, so maybe Kano was like him in that way?

"It just looked like the beginnings of a cat! I wanted to complete it because that was what I saw. Hmm...But it's done now! What else can I paint now, though..." 

She wasn't sure. Eru was never the most artistic person, though when she tried it could turn out fairly decent. But when it came to coming up with ideas, she would always find herself at a loss.

Kano and Eru | Walls

Turning full around to face her, Kano chuckled, spreading his arms wide. “Oh no, not a bother at all! I could even say I’m honoured for the audience!”  She spoke of it like it was some kind of sold out concert. ‘Public Vandalism: The Dirty Spectacle! Tickets go fast, so get yours now!’—his own imagination had him giggling again.

However prepared he’d been for getting busted, he hadn’t quite expected an active observer. She gave off such a good-girl vibe too, even tried to rationalize his law breaking as an artistic expression. Or… that was more of an ‘optimistic point of view’ than rationalizing, wasn’t it. He shot down a pang of jealousy by glancing back up at his wall, humming as if to imagine what he might do with it like some kind of grandiose artist.

"Name’s Kano; nice to meet’cha! Aha, but you sure are curious, Eru! You know that curiosity killed the cat though, right?" He flashed a wry grin, his own feline eyes glinting playfully. "Better than just watching, wouldn’t it be more fun to participate? Come on up; the more the merrier!" He said this while offering her the red from before, other hand gesturing back as if to say ‘plenty of room!’

Her eyes lit up in response, and she eagerly took the red can with the sense of a small child examining a new toy. She wasn't quite sure how a spraycan worked, having never really used one, so she stared at it before pointing it at the wall with a suddenly determined expression. 

She was honestly very curious about what she could paint on that wall...

"I-I'll warn you that I'm not very good, Kano-san." Eru's voice was plain yet still somewhat focused. "So I hope I don't disappoint you! I shall do my best to paint this wall!" 

Her gaze shifted to Kano's previously-made two lines. She decided to start where those were, and she sprayed out a line of paint whilst yelping in surprise at the hiss the can made. But she was resolute, and thus began to form elegant curls and loops around the red lines until--

...Well, that was certainly the beginnings of a small and cute little kitten.

Kano and Eru | Walls

The streets weren’t unfamiliar, but he still couldn’t say he knew them very well. Just how long had he lived here, anyhow? And to think, he still hadn’t gone thoroughly exploring yet. Preposterous! An insult to his pride, even! Although the night had a nicer effect, this revelation had called for drastic measures, despite the midday heat.

He had been meandering inconspicuously around the back-alleys for a while now, satchel full of spray paint giving off muted clangs as he searched for a good spot. For the most part, the walls were surprisingly devoid of graffit; not for much longer anyway. It wasn’t unusual for people of this city to used the back-alleys as quick shortcuts between streets though, especially at this active time of day, so he’d make do with a quick tag.

Setting his bag down, Kano rooted around for the red before standing up with a quiet, ‘alrighty then!’ and set about his work. He’d only made a measly three lines before he heard something behind him, and gave a sort of defeated sigh.

"Ahh~ Have I already been busted?" Kano glanced behind him, goofy grin plastered across his face.

Eru faltered, catching the boy's gaze which caused purple eyes to widen. "No, no! That's quite alright...I was actually just watching. I've never seen live vandalism before, but-- I think spraypainting is an art form! So, at least...I won't tell."

She had admittedly noticed the boy a short ways away, across the busy street from outside a small cafe she'd found in her explorations. And being who she was, instead of being too concerned by it, she was fascinated. She'd also been hoping to watch in secret, but...That plan didn't go as well as she hoped. 

His smile was met in kind, and she giggled in a way that was surprisingly ladylike. "I'm sorry for bothering you. If you'd like, I could merely leave...But I couldn't help being curious about what you planned to do with this wall, what kind of impression you'd leave. Maybe it would be a reflection of something! --But where are my manners? My name is Eru. Though perhaps I've overstayed my welcome..."

Duh, She's Curious! || CR Open

No memory. Or at least, not enough memory to go about figuring out key things about her life. 

Eru was a little unnerved at first, since memory was something people were supposed to have, but...Perhaps she lost her memory due to an accident? And people could be looking for her all the same! And she did have a bit to go on: her name and date of birth, for starters. Talk about selective memory loss...

She found herself in the strange town of Hajima, though, and had even been assigned an apartment she'd made quick work of settling her meager things in to. She was pretty pleased with the work she'd managed to put in thus far, and decided wandering about the city would be the best bet. 

While she couldn't remember finer details, memories of her uncle and of the word Hyouka stuck out like sore thumbs. But even some memories of her uncle were shrouded in mystery...Perhaps she should consider looking into him? She really had been curious about that--

Oh yes. That too...'I'm curious!' was evidently a very important phrase to her, perhaps her motto. There was no way to know for sure. 

At any rate, wandering. Eru held a map in her hands so she could find her way back once it was closer to nightfall, and she meandered through somewhat crowded streets as she took in many of the sights. However, something caught her attention out of the corner of her eye, causing her to pivot and rush straight over. 

"E-Excuse me! I don't mean to interrupt you or anything, but-- I'd really like to know what you're doing! For you see, I'm--"

"I'm very curious!"

So Eru's roomie deactivated their account...Which means she has a room to herself, actually. Which isn't bad, but now I just need to work on a general open.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?

"Hmm...I wonder, do I even remember such a thing?" Eru wasn't sure. She decided to think for a few moments before her eyes lit up, and she clapped excitedly as she thought of something. 

"I think I like mysteries the most! Those aren't living things, correct? Unless a person themselves is a mystery...My my, what a riddle!"
