moonstrualcycle | no running in the halls!

[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.]

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?

[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.

[ ~~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! ]

[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.]

[ 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?

[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?

[ 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.

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.]

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. ]

[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?

[ Lea lifts her head only enough so that she can stare at Isa. She'd like to say most of those surprises were her fault, but. ]

It's the good kind. Come on!

[ She'll start bouncing in place, just watch. Also she's gonna find one now and take a liking to it, sorry. ]

[they were, it's true, and none of them were even remotely as mundane as food options. Isa rolls her eyes and stands up, heading for the door.]

It's a good thing I trust you.

Why would I lie?

[ She heads out the door and stuffs her hands in her pockets as she walks. ]

I wonder what it'll be today.

[that's more concerning than anything else that's happened so far since Isa got here, that statement.]

Maybe you're getting revenge for something from when we were kids, how should I know? Or maybe you've been replaced by body-snatchers and you're actually an alien who wants to eat me.

[if this were ninxel there would be eyebrow waggling, but Isa's not that good with innuendo.]

[ She scoffs and looks over her shoulder at Isa, brow furrowed in disbelief. ]

Please, if I was gonna do that I would've when you were drooling on me back in the bed.

I don't drool, to my knowledge, but I appreciate your honesty otherwise.

[is there anything at all interesting to look at on this walk besides Lea? Isa's content to just trail after her until they get to food, but.]

To your knowledge.

[ She's full of shit, of course. Honestly probably not much. Light scenery, a weird mix of hallways and windows and then chunks of the hall that just break apart into pure nature. It's a weird part of the DR she lives in when you go further from the main areas, and the worlds. Dreamlike. There are probably Dream Eaters in some of those sections.

Maybe a Riku walks by with his nose stuck in a book and doesn't even look up as they pass. Like that one that's cursed to die over and over again. He's probably still around! ]

[we have yet to get into that future where everything was garbage and there were Heartless everywhere, at least. she's quiet as she takes in whatever weirdness they encounter, as is her way, and honestly a stray Riku isn't that exciting, after five different Xehanorts. the gender thing is only a slight blip of weird at the moment. Isa's probably slowing down to look at things though, because she's not great at multitasking.]

[ Hopefully that future was overridden.

Let's get weirder. In this section of nature (which is more urban park than fairy tale woods) we have a trio of 6-8 year old boys playing on the jungle gym. Two of them are recognizable as small versions of people Isa knows — well, a male Sora and a male Vanitas — but the third one looks like a mix of Terra and Aqua. Lea hasn't slowed down in her walk, and doesn't look at them at all as she goes past. ]

Should be right around here...

[Isa's heart isn't sure what to make of this, so she files it away for later, tearing her gaze away from the kids and lengthening her stride to catch up with Lea.]

We're in a park, where is there food around here?

I thought I was the impatient one.

[ If they keep walking down the path it turns into a hall again, cement walkway turning into hardwood floor, with bricks and wood placed in ways that eventually form into walls. Doors start to appear, and they're all identical. Lea stops in between them, and it's obvious she can't remember which is which. ]

You are, I'm just wondering.

[Lea, this... this is...]

We've walked onto the set of a horror movie.

Nah, that's just how it is. I think it's this— oh...

[ She had been reaching for a doorknob but stops, eying the pink sludge seeping out from beneath it. ]

Look, you jinxed it.

I can't wait to find out what kind of amazing food is at the end of this trip.

[Isa's just gonna pick another door and see what's behind it, fuck it. what's in this one? the lost souls door from beetlejuice? the "not scary at all" door from IT (2017)? Boo's room from Monsters Inc?]
