“ Yo. “ 

Ryuji raised up his hand to start to wave towards the asset. Sighing as he shoved his hand into his front pocket. He could just hear Ann yelling at him for being so casual while on the job. 

He was supposed to be meeting up with and Heiress. A Miss Valda. She had only now arrived to this after-party she wanted to attend, but not without Ryuji’s attendance next to her. And he already made a fool of himself. 

[centurionvii]

Whoa– That girl was getting a bit too close to Miss Valda then he pleased. Ryuji taking his job seriously for once and pushing a bit closer. Making sure he got a good look at what was about to happen. 

Whoa

OH

Um— 

Huh. Um. Ryuji took a long swig of his drink. He adverted his eyes. He wasn’t staring he was doing his job. But he had to admit that was a little hot. Oh no. Oh no. Wait. How much was this asset supposed to keep in the good graces of the public eye? He knew he got in trouble for allowing things to go too far. And that girl just snapped a picture. 

Think Ryuji. Think. What was the exact words of your objective today? Keep her safe from the public? What did that mean? Did that mean he had to stop that picture from being uploaded? He didn’t know.

Leaning over the bartenders counter and pointing towards Miss Valda. “ How soon should I get her water? ” he mumbled

[willowvalda-blog]

“already on it” the bartender said pouring out a cup of cold water.  Willow and the girl continued on for a few moments before the girl pulled away. “Sorry I can’t stay longer” the girl said putting away her cell phone. “Thanks for a memorable experience.” “Oh yeah” Willow grinned like a dork with swag. “anytime.”  The girl disapeared into the crowd. “Hey!” Willow noticed Mr.Sakamoto by the bar still. “Mr.Sakamoto” she strolled over to him and  reached up and ruffled his hair. “Are ya having fun..with your orange beverage?” 

[centurionvii]

Ryuji took Willow’s wrist into his hand. Pulling her off his hair. He didn’t want anyone touching it. Nonetheless a drunk girl. “ Have fun with this. ” He tried to sound witty as he placed the glass of water into her hands. Helping her lift it to her lips.

[willowvalda-blog]

Willow parted her lips better and sipped the water. It was cool and refreshing. “This is a nice beverage” Willow sighed in content. It was at that moment Ava Max starting playing. Willow swayed a little before realizing her cell phone was going off.  She dug it out of her purse and answered. “Young lady” A voice boomed out “I hope you’re having fun at your party but you need to come home.” “But dadddd” Willow groaned. She couldn’t believe she was an adult with a curfew. “No buts” her dad’s voice said “You know it’s not safe late at night.”  “Ugh fine.” willow sighed “I’ll be home soon.” she hit end on her call and looked at Mr.Sakamoto. “the party is over. I’ll call the driver and tell him to meet us downstairs.” With one last swig of water Willow put the glass down and started towards the elevator.

[centurionvii]

Ryuji was already getting a headache. That shriek. Any thoughts this job could be any different went out of the window. Wouldn’t it be cool if he – aw nah, he knew he couldn’t. This job dragged. He eyed one of the snack trays hungrily.

Uuuggggggg. ~

Following closely behind Miss Valda. 

As

     per

          his

               job.

[willowvalda-blog]

Willow went right up the bar and raised her hand. “What can I get’cha” a handsome bartender asked her. “I want a cosmo” she said. “Coming right up.” the bartender said as he got started on the drink.  Willow noticed the bowl of pretzels and grabbed a handful. she wasn’t super hungry but who could resist free snacks?  Willow felt a hand tap her side as the learned to the right  to see Jane. (the person who the party was for in the first place)  “Hey bitch” Jane said already sounding a little drunk leaning against the bar “We’re doing jello shots” she indicated to a group of several other girls. “and you better join us.” “Hand me a lime one” Willow said.  Jane handed her a bright green shot “Cheers to the newest boss bitch” one of the girls cheered. Willow gulped down her shot. 

[centurionvii]

He heard the words “jello shots” and his ears pricked up. That could make this job a whole lot more difficult. He wasn’t told to keep the asset away from alcohol. But the asset could get herself into trouble. 

Or at the very least make the night longer. 

He saw Miss Valda partake. Oh well. He broke professionalism for a short moment to hold up a finger to the bartender. He couldn’t have a alcoholic drink on the job, but that wasn’t going to stop him from having whatever cold carbonated drink they had in stock. Besides he knew this bartender. With a smile grabbing his usual orange beverage™ and cracking it open.

[willowvalda-blog]

Next thing Willow knew she had done three shots of Jello and had been handed her cosmo. “Let’s go keep making the rounds” she said. With drink in hand Willow walked around drunkenly waving to a few people. Stopping once in a while to sip her drink.  One girl had gone up to Willow and asked especially nicely for a pic. “Sure” Willow said. She could never turn down a fan. Not one that had such pretty brown eyes.   “Hey you’re really pretty” Willow noticed as the girl leaned herself in to take a selfie. “oh uh” the girl blushed “thank you.” “You doing anything right now” Willow asked “I mean after the pic  we could go make out in the corner?”  Willow knew her inhibition was gone. “Why wait” the girl said suddenly exuding confidence and snapped the pic as her and willow kissed.

[centurionvii]

This was honestly the oddest job he had ever been on. Ryuji snapped to attention the moment the girl started walking ahead. He had a job to do after all. Being in a small and compromisable space he inched himself as close to Miss Valda as possible in the elevator. Trying to turn his nose away from her as she 

took off her shoe?

huh. 

[willowvalda-blog]

Willow lost herself in thoughts of shoes for a moment. Snapping out of it when she remembered she had company.  “So” she cleared her throat “what may I call you? You obviously know my name but I don’t know yours.”  if they were gonna spend time together Willow wanted to know at least this much about him. Willow took her chain purse and opened it. Digging until she found her lipstick and appiled a fresh coat. 

[centurionvii]

“ Ry–” He coughed. Clearing his throat. “ Mr. Sakamoto.” He said, his voice clearly deeper then what his natural range was. He had to stop reminding himself he was on a job. It was easier when the asset was mean to him. Most he was lucky if they didn’t call him blondie.

Ding.

The elevator doors opened at their destination. Opening to a large roof top party. Lots of people showed up. Some sitting at the glass-top tables, others mingling with glasses in hand closer to the roof top. 

Ryuji looked around the crowd, his face straightening as he tried to take in any possible threats. “ Miss Valda.” He stood in the door of the elevator, making sure it didn’t close before she could walk out. 

[willowvalda-blog]

Willow scrambled to get her shoes back on as the elevator doors opened. Willow smiled as she saw the fairy lights strung up around the roof. She stepped out onto the roof. “Alright then” Willow said “Mr.Sakamoto it is!”  “Willow” she heard a woman’s voice shriek. Willow reluctantly turned to the voice. “There you are” the woman said this time approaching Willow. Willow put on her best smile “Why hello  Emma” Willow said opening her arms and giving a hug to the woman. Emma Darling. This woman Willow had known some of her life. She had almost became her father’s third wife. She was pushing fifty but tried to hide it with botox and bottle blonde hair. “Glad you could make it to my daughter’s party” “I wouldn’t miss it” Willow said “But if you’ll excuse me I must make the rounds.”  Willow left without another word and beelined to the open bar.

[willowvalda-blog]

Willow’s limo driver opened the door  and she stepped out and onto the sidewalk. She looked up at the tall building in front of her. Here she was. Ready to go to the most hyped after party of her life. Now. if only her new bodyguard was here…  She craned her head back down when she heard a voice. the man dressed intimidating but so casually said “Yo”. “Hello there” Willow spoke to him. Was this her new guard? “Are you here for the party?” 

[centurionvii]

Ryuji rubbed his hand along the back of his neck. He couldn’t believe she didn’t yell at him for being unprofessional. Nonetheless her willingness to be casual as well. 

“ Uuhh yeah. ”

If anything he’ll roll with the punches. “ Whenever you’re ready, Miss Valda. ” He had to try to sound professional once in his life. 

[willowvalda-blog]

Willow smiled. “Let’s go.” Willow led them inside the building and pushed the call elevator button. The party was on the top floor so it’d be a bit of a wait.   Once inside the elevator  Willow leaned against the railing. Her shoes already bothering her so she took them off. “I’m not even sure why I bought these shoes” She said with a sigh.  She knew why she bought the shoes. All her friends were doing it and she couldn’t be left out. At least. That’s what she told herself at the time.

[picarouge]

Wow. She really went all out with this game. Even commenting on how red the lava was. He just liked a reason to jump on the furniture. “It’s hot, don’t get too close.” yeahhh, that was the best he got. 

[willowvalda-blog]

Willow layed down on the bed. “its been forever since i’ve gotten to play this game” she stated actually acknowledging it was a game instead of passing it off as real. “Maybe playing like this would make training more fun.”

“You promised, nothing matching.” Star politely reminded Willow. “You do you’re thing I’ll do mine.” she said as she finally followed her out the door. 

[willowvalda-blog]

“yes yes” Willow said walking down the hallway some more. “uh.” she started to say “guess we’ll have to hoof it to Spirit halloween. Forgot it was quite a walk over there.” 

Willow actually walked in silence for the walk. She was too busy internally narrowing down costume ideas. 

[willowvalda-blog]

A very loud, audible sigh came past Star’s lips. “If I go with you, can you promise we don’t have matching costumes?” 

[willowvalda-blog]

Willow clapped her hands “I promise. no matching. now i better go actually change my clothes.” she skipped off to her room to find a nice orange shirt and threw it on. “I’ve gotta find something perfect” Willow stated “Any suggjestions?”

[xvaleroso]

“For a holiday that has costumes that makes fun of creatures that I now know exist, I have no suggestions.” Star commented as she put on her shoes reluctantly. If it would make Willow happy she guessed. 

[willowvalda-blog]

“You’ve got a point” Willow said unlocking the door and holding it open for Star. “but haven’t gotten to dress up in a while” willow stated “get to see what costumes are the craze these days. And maybe get some candy as well since we’re out.” Knowing full well Star wouldn’t want to shop at the store where they work. ‘You know....if you hadn’t come with i would have had to choose between salt and pepper shakers or ketchup and mustard for our matching costume”

Willow couldn’t help but hum “In the dark of the night” as she walked over back to her place. Sure maybe it wasn’t a Halloween movie but the song still fit for the time of year. Once arriving at her apartment she got out her keys shoved the right one into the lock. Running right into her roomate Star’s room.

“STAR” she basically shouted “We gotta go Halloween shopping! Spirit halloween is only open a few more hours!” 

[xvaleroso]

Star was just curled up on her bed reading a book when her roommate came home. She heard her struggling with the keys and grabbed a bookmark just in case she had to stop. The moment she heard her name she sighed and put the book down. 

“There’s no gifts for Halloween, why must there by shopping for it?” 

[willowvalda-blog]

“Because” Willow started “I still don’t have a costume.” Lifting her bag over her head “And besides…we were invited to Stephanie’s Halloween party.”  

Stephanie was their co-worker at the store they worked at. Willow of course told her she’d be there for her party. “Look” Willow said absentmindedly unbuttoned her uniform   “we can go together so we can match. and or find some fun decorations.” 

[xvaleroso]

“But what if I don’t want to see Stephanie more then two hours a day.” Star says even though she was supposed to be at work for eight hours. “And…” she said as she got up and walked over to Willow, reaching out to her shirt and helping her unbutton it. “Why don’t we party over here.” 

[willowvalda-blog]

“Star” Willow sighed “you know you were invited as well.” Not being at all surprised Star didn’t remember. Or didn’t want to go for that matter. “But if you don’t want to go with me then I hope you’re prepared for me to pick our outfits for the both of us.”

Scarlet watched the girl prepare for her leap and even noticed how it looked like she wasn’t going to make it. But instead of leaping out to catch her he debated if he should just let her fall, it could be hilarious.

“Yeah sure.” he said at her request, holding his hand out for her to grab. 

[willowvalda-blog]

Willow felt relived when Scarlet held out his hand. Grabbing his with her’s she yanked up. Though Yanking a bit too hard and pulling her face right up against his own face. Her cheek brushed his nose as she quickly pulled away. “Uh.” Willow said “thanks for saving me and all” 

she settled into the bed that she was now on. “Now we’re on our own little island” Willow stated “of sorts.” 

[picarouge]

Scarlet scooted over so he sat closer to the girl, pretending to look at the ground with a worried face. “We’ll be safe as long as the lava doesn’t rise.” he said with a smirk. Oh how he was tempted to push her. 

[willowvalda-blog]

“never seen lava quite so red before” willow stated “Not like i’ve seen a lot of lava in my life mind you.” 

Willow remembers reading grimbooks with her sister and discussing the finer points of nature. Though she hardly remembers the lava issue they had put out.
