no running in the halls!

[moonstrualcycle]

[hot off the presses, this one, horrendous new clothes and all. wherever it is in the DR's apartment building that Lea's chosen to roost, that's where Isa's getting yeeted catapulted, quite literally. at least it had the decency to drop her outside the apartment, right? enjoy the distinct sound of someone colliding hard with the wall next to the door and crumpling into a groaning mess on the floor. there's sand on her shoes, and a familiar frisbee came with her, dropped a short distance from where she landed. knock knock, Lea.]

[a parrot, of course. Lea gets a big old eyeroll while Isa sips more coffee.]

Probably nothing that interesting. At least there's no way something like that could backfire, since I don't have any animal phobias.

[clearly this should be a stop today, because yeah.]

[cinderlea]

[ What did you think it would be, something quiet? Hell yes potion room. ]

How much food do you want to bet on a wolf?

[moonstrualcycle]

[no just that ideally it would be something flashy OR loud, not both. and watch, now it'll do something less obvious for Isa that's still a critique on some part of her personality, like a porcupine.]

Ugh. No point in betting on a sure thing.

[cinderlea]

Might not be, we don't know.

[ She's just pretty sure. Almost 100%. What does she have to lose, food? Bah. ]

When do you wanna go?

[moonstrualcycle]

I just need to sort my hair out and put real pants back on, then we can go.

[Isa's hair is serious business, you know. that hairflip in KH2 wasn't for nothing.]

[cinderlea]

That's pretty fast. Take your time.

[ Even if she doesn't, Lea will grab a handful of cheese cubes from the fridge and start heading to the bedroom to get changed. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[are you me, Lea, that sounds like something i would do. if Lea's headed that way then Isa will go deal with her hair first so there's no awkwardness. eventually they'll have to address things like kissing and changing in front of each other, and knowing these two it'll either be five minutes from now or in two weeks.]

[cinderlea]

[ Queer culture is eating cheese cubes directly. Also it's gonna be sooner than you think, but Lea at least put pants on. It's not like it takes her long, though, so once she's dressed (in the same clothes as last time) she heads over to the bathroom and leans against the frame. Is the door open or closed? ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[i mean i just grab a slice of cheese or a hotdog out of the package in the fridge if i need a snack, so yeah. door's open, and Isa's attempting to unsnarl a tangle worthy of Lea's hair, glowering at it sidelong in the mirror.]

I used your toothbrush, I have to remember to get one of my own along with clothing.

[in this house we share germs like real friends do.]

[cinderlea]

I'll remind you, not that it bothers me much. It's not like it's far off from kissing.

[ Yes. She's bringing it up now. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

And it's not like you haven't borrowed mine before.

[now you're getting the grumpy face, Lea, but she's gone slightly pink as well, so good job.]

[cinderlea]

Well yeah, but I didn't tell you.

[ Lea that's gross. ]

Are you blushing?

[moonstrualcycle]

[oh my god, a twofer. and then Riku heard a lot of bad noises and came in to check and Lea was dead on the floor of her own apartment.]

Do you really want to find out if I can still berserk with my heart back? Because it seems like you do.

[seriously, if it'd just been one of the things, maybe. the tangle in her hair has given up and unknotted itself out of fear.]

[cinderlea]

[ Lul this is hilarious. She's not looking at Isa anymore though, and is instead staring down at the carpet. ]

No thanks. Sounds like I've got enough of getting my ass kicked in the future.

[ She's resigned, or something. ]

When do you wanna do it again?

[moonstrualcycle]

[dick. Isa just stares for a second, because what? do what again, kick Lea's ass? oh. she's still pink under the bottom edges of her scar, which just makes it stand out more.]

Never, at the rate you're going.

[grumble grumble. this is a bluff though, this would actually be the perfect time.]

[cinderlea]

Wow. Just hot and cold on me, huh?

[ She's still staring at the ceiling, because she's going for cool but Lea is in fact still a huge dweeb. ]

Well, if that's the case, how about one more to let me know what I'm missing?

[moonstrualcycle]

[you're in for it now, Isa's got a backlog of sexy imagery that she's never actually executed herself, from assorted dreams over the years that sometimes even featured Lea.

Isa lets her eyes go hooded, a sultry little smile making its way onto her face, and leans in slowly to wind her arms around Lea's neck. it almost looks like Isa wants to just bang right here in the bathroom doorway, but instead she just holds the tension for a moment and then gives Lea the briefest and most unsatisfying kiss anyone's ever had. deadpan, as she pulls away:]

Now move so I can put real pants back on so we can go, I'm hungry.

[cinderlea]

[ ISA used SEDUCE! It's super effective! Wild LEA is sexually frustrated! It may be unable to move!

Lea stays where she is, stunned and wide-eyed for several seconds. That was... a lot, and now she's a bright, clashing pink as she meekly slides away and then runs away to the kitchen. What the fuck! That just made her want to kiss her more! ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[good, for multiple reasons, but mostly because it serves her right. Isa finishes fussing with her hair and heads for the bedroom to change. she just looks smug, now, and Lea will probably be occupied composing herself in the few moments it takes Isa to take pj pants off and put her other pants back on and zip her jacket up before she reappears and parks on the couch for a second to put her shoes on.]

[cinderlea]

[ How does she deal with the only person who can effectively troll her now moving in? She's not even sure what to say. She deserved it. She's going to drink some water, then more milk, while Isa dresses. By the time she reaches the couch Lea is mostly composed. ]

Ready?

[moonstrualcycle]

[teehee. Isa's got the innocent and slightly concerned look that probably got at least her out of trouble if not both of them, as kids. the "oh no, i'm so sorry to hear that your window was broken by a frisbee identical to the ones my friend has" look. tbh she's a little surprised at herself for not only thinking of that but pulling it off, but the only indication of this is that she's still a little pink across her nose.]

Yeah. How far away is the food?

[cinderlea]

[ She's gonna be salty about it until she gets food, but at least she can look at Isa now. Lea's facing the door, and gestures both ways. ]

Doesn't matter. Here, I'll take you to one of the weird food rooms. It's... actually not far, and, if you can believe it, that was a complete accident.

[moonstrualcycle]

What was? And how weird?

[it's too early in the day for raw fish, for example, or wasp crackers. she's very proud of you for recovering so well, Lea.]

[cinderlea]

What, and ruin the surprise?

[ Nope. She's puttin' her boots on. Lea probably dresses like a lesbian who doesn't know she is one, if the vests and plaid and knee high boots are any indication. ]

[moonstrualcycle]

[f-fuck you with that, get out of here. if it turns out she owns a crop top i won't be held responsible for Isa's actions.]

Haven't we both been surprised enough in the last twenty-four hours?
