Clothes op We Heart It

[shslperception]

Well, of course, her real self under the polite, kind mask knew it all; but keeping this innocent disguise gave a better image of her to the others. She did enjoy these kind of games, though.

"We… we are ought to kiss in here? Well, that is funny. If you do not mind, I should stay at a loving cuddle, as we do not know each other for too long time."

Right, it’d be rather awkward kissing a stranger just like that. She seemed to not mind a kiss, though. She looked kind of a sweet personality, a person who’s there at every single party, making it even better. Probably.

"Anyways, my name is Erin D. Boulstridge, it is a pleasure meeting you."

[shslnoa]

"Yeah, that's the name of the game! Not like anything says we actually have to follow 'em, though. Though I doubt they'll let us out until our seven minutes is up", Noa established with a chuckle. This Erin girl... she looked sweet, and despite her face paint didn't seem to be a mime. Or... was she? Noa appeared pensive for a moment, as if internally debating whether or not mimes remained eternally silent. She eventually concluded that it would be ridiculous if there were always mute, and was grateful that she was probably right. It would have been incredibly unfortunate if the two of them were thrust in here and all Erin was capable of doing was re-enacting being stuck in a slightly smaller box.

Tearing herself from her silly thoughts, Noa focused her attention on the other girl. "That's a pretty name", she commented with a coy smile. "Not local, then? Me neither". The contortionist looked as if she was going to extend her hand for a handshake for a moment before it dawned on her that they were already in cramped quarters. Instead, she simply elected to give a weak wave.

"I'm Noa".

He noted her expression, and bowed just slightly. “Do forgive my presumption. I did not meant to imply that you are someone who would do such a thing.”

He brightened a little at a topic he could finally speak properly on. “Miss Runa, or more accurately, Runa Laviolette, the SHSL Performer, is the woman I have been tasked to serve, at least until she dismisses me. She is certainly a better conversation partner than I. Would you like for me to retrieve her?”

[shslnoa]

"Hey, just.... don't worry about it", Noa mumbled. The contortionist twirls her hair around a finger idly, put at unease by this incredibly polite man. It was almost a relief to hear that he was going to retrieve Rua. There would be easier conversation grounds with someone else who held a performers profession.

"Ah... sure, I guess? If you really want to get rid of me so badly". Noa laughed at her joke, but it had been weak in execution. Her unsettled behaviour was easy to see, and she doubted the butler wouldn't pick up on it.

You go back to the bedroom.

Nothing here really changed, not the bed, not the desk… Though, the window is miracolously closed! You did feel a slight breeze before, so maybe it was the wind… Or not?

You still have some things to investigate that could be more interesting than a window though.

>Examine desk >Examine bed >Examine desk’s drawers >Take a look out of the window

[shslnoa]

Noa notices the closed window as she exits the bathroom. She can feel a shiver go up her spine... This whole situation was just... eerie. Was Chelsea alright? The contortionist scans the room once more, unsure what to do next. The bed looks oddly untouched, but there's other things she can poke around in... Perhaps there would be some kind of lead as to where the gunman was?

>Examine desk's drawers

[shslnoa]

tfw you forget to cut a post

[shsl-street-dancer]

monomono! (if i already sent one of these i am dumb and sorry)

(shhhh you’re fine i only got this one message)

What was this? Joel knew as soon as he got this strange muffler that it’d just make him look strange. So, what would he do with it? Hand it out to a random person. Hey, it’s a good deed, ain’t it?

And so, the boy went past a great number of dorm doors until finally finding the opportunity to drop the muffler by someone’s door while no one was around. Making sure this person (which just so happened to be a cute contortionist) got the gift, Joel knocked on the door three times. Hoping the girl was inside her dorm, he raced off…

OH GOD DAMN IT.

Just as he was about to get away, the Street Dancer tripped and fell forwards, managing to stop his face from getting hurt by twisting his upper body and landing on his right shoulder. Needless to say, it hurt a lot.

[shsl-street-dancer]

Groaning quietly, the boy pushed himself up and hissed slightly in pain, turning his head to look at the girl who was crouched beside him. Was the dorm he knocked on hers?

Noa watched over him with concern as he stood, remaining at the ready in case he stumbled or anything. Assured that he wasn’t about to fall over she rose from her crouch and duster off her tights. The contortionist wasn’t entirely convinced that he was ok… but she wouldn’t press it. Yet.

"Hey, there’s no need for that!" Noa laughed and shook her head. "I’ve never seen someone get themselves hurt and apologize for causing a ruckus!" She seemed genuinely entertained by the concept, as if Joel was some sort of anomaly to her. "I’m Noa! Nice to meet you, Joel!" The contortionist briefly considered extending her hand for a shake, but decided against it. He had landed on his shoulder… instead, she elected to give him a quick pat on the head, as if it could be substituted for the customary shake. 

"Honestly, don’t worry about it. Besides, I don’t think anyone would have anything against someone cute 'crashing' their pad”. Noa chuckled at her own joke, giving Joel the traditional Noa WINK.

Kiyoshi let out a little chuckle, perhaps somewhat unsure, but kept his even expression regardless of his slight nervousness at the conversation dragging on.

"I do not see it as abuse. As long as they are satisfied, my job is fulfilled. However, I believe Miss Runa would not take it as well, so I will have to ask you to please refrain from smashing the silverware if you were planning to do so."

[shslnoa]

"Oh! Oh, no, it's not that I was..." Noa trailed off, seeming fairly perturbed by his assumption that she was referring to herself. She exhaled and set to correcting the butler. "I wasn't planning on doing anything like that, I swear! I may have been raised in a circus, but that doesn't mean I'm going to cause a ruckus..." The contortionist scratched her cheek, staring absently at the wall.

"So.... who's this "Miss Runa" anyways....?"

mmmMMmm but i'll get to replies in a little bit i've got some work to do but yeah!!! good morning. have a good day!!

[shsl-waitress]

"It’s not that I don’t have the guts..! I could ask them like that if I wanted to but.. I need to think what they’d like. I’m not sure he’d like being grabbed." She sighed a little. Did she really come off as a coward? 

"I guess I could do that. That would be easier…"

[shslnoa]

"Oh, is that it?" Noa's brow furrowed in thought. "Well, you don't have to necessarily grab him... you just need to make sure he's paying attention to you, yeah?"

Ahh, that was a relief. At least one of her suggestions had been plausible. "Heeey, don't sweat it. However you ask him... I doubt he'd refuse! How could he turn down someone cute like you?"

Kiyoshi, though he still had little clue as to what it really meant, was the sort of person to receive compliments quite often, especially on his work or on his face or really anything else he did, and so was largely desensitized. Not knowing how to conduct interpersonal relationships or about the world in general has its advantages sometimes.

"Then that is, perhaps unfortunately, their manner of making themselves comfortable. I will clean it up, and surely Miss Runa has quite enough money for more."

"Very well."

[shslnoa]

"Ehhh?" Noa started at the fancily dressed man in confusion. Would he really roll with something like that so easily?

"And you'd have no issues with that? At all? You'd just let people abuse your goodwill?"
