[ She doesn't necessarily want to try it, but it'd be less charming to deny - so she just takes the bottle gently and makes a show of pressing it to her lips, tipping it back slightly so she only gets a taste. It's not the worst thing she's ever tasted, but it's definitely not what she'd go for herself. ]
I think Misa prefers this!! Hahaha. [ Pushing back the bottle toward him, she wrinkles her nose and returns to her idle stirring. ] Do they not have your favorite here, or something?
[He doesn't insist, really, but he isn't gentlemanly enough (or at all) to tell her as much. Instead he watches her drink, a steady stare almost overbearing for the casual exchange of drinks.
When his bottle is returned Takasugi wraps his fingers around the base, sliding it towards himself. It rests tilted, only slightly, liquid swaying inside.]
Then it's yours. Drink. [Another authoritative offer given with fleeting care.] No. And if they did, I wouldn't be able to afford it. [A change from home he's not fond of.]
[ She nods enthusiastically at his offer, taking a sip of the cocktail and keeping the glass pressed to her glossy lips. ]
That's too bad... [ She swirls the glass in her hand. ] Ever since Misa got here, I realized that a lot of things I liked at home either aren't here or are really expensive, too.
Yep, I'm Misa-Misa! [ It's natural for her to introduce herself so energetically, groomed from her idol life back at home. ] JJ is such a unique name, too! So Misa won't forget to ask you.
[ Dusting her skirt off, she moves to push herself from the ground, standing to her full height once again. This person seems nice enough, so she's pretty sure that she can get more information out of him - she has a drive to learn as much as she can about this place to help Light in advance. She reaches out a hand to help him to his feet, smiling brightly. ]
So, is there anything else I should know about this place? I don't wanna break any rules...
She seems sweet and fairly keen, and JJ can remember pretty clearly to shock of waking up in Olympia himself a little over a month ago, so he can't help the fond feeling that arises as he pushes himself up as well. The loneliness was creeping, and the realisation that the entire world, and everyone one in it were inaccessible came slowly. ]
Well, you can't tell anyone in this city that you're from another world. Or that Thesa is actually a space station.
[ He doesn't know how closely the Orbiters are watching, but if Google can know everything about people back on Earth, it's not too farfetched that these half-supernatural half-technological beings could spy on them all. ]
But other than, it's just the usual. Don't steal, kill, and stuff like that. Oh—and the city gives you free housing for your first month! So you don't need to worry about that either.
Ohh, okay, Misa gets it. The people who saved us don't want the people already here to know about other worlds! [ She'll just, finger gun point for emphasis. ] I'll just act like I'm...what's the word they used? A refugee? I'm an actress after all!
[ Maybe she seems over-bright during this situation, but that's just how she perseveres through things. It's also that the Orbiters had promised Light's safety, and as long as that still holds, she can't really feel any real despair, as he's essentially her only reason for living. But speaking of acting: ]
I have to get a job after the first month then, right?
[ She smiles in a no problem at all! sort of way, moving to rest her cheek against her delicate hand. ] Sort of! I'm just helping out for the day. It's pretty hard work...
[ Almost childishly, she leans over to sip from her drink, looking to the side rather than straight at Juvia herself. ]
And some of the guys here are kind of weird. Someone pretty like you probably gets it!
[ Juvia gives a cursory look around the room, thinking that if she had to deal with as many people as this.. she'd probably feel the same way. She'd be too embarrassed to even do any of this without proper incentive, like a cute date or Gray. ]
It seems like it. Juvia would feel the same way if she were doing something like this.
[ She takes a small sip from her own drink, watching Misa curiously. Well, all up until she compliments her. ]
[ Not many people use the term pretty to describe Juvia, except for ''pretty intense'', so hearing a stranger say that catches her off guard immediately. Suddenly, Juvia grabs at her straw to swish the water around inside it.
She is very much embarrassed, and also very much trying to play it off like she isn't. ]
[ Aw, Juvia is so cute... whoever it is, it's Misa's job to charm and it seems that this lady isn't too used to treatment like that. ]
You know, guys keep trying to get too familiar with you, even after you say you have a boyfriend... [ She sighs wistfully, playing with the parasol. Even if what she's saying isn't entirely true, it's the fact that she's trying to relate with Juvia in a girl-talk type of way that pushes her to strike up this conversation. ] Misa is just trying to do her job!
[ She takes a sip from her own drink after his approval, not minding the taste at all. In fact, it's kind of refreshing? If not a little strange... It's not like she can infer what he means from tone, so she just blinks her eyes as curiously and innocently as she can. ]
What makes you say that? Are there fruits here that are dangerous to eat, or something?
I'm sure there are fruits that are poisonous, but others have more... low key ways of affecting people.
[ ugh, he doesn't really want to specify, but at this point it's hard to really avoid the topic. even as he takes another sip of his slightly-too-sweet fruit drink. ]
A young man told me of a fruit that has potent aphrodisiac properties. [ its for her own good that she know this stuff. ] I wouldn't be surprised to learn there are others just as unusual.
[ Her hand comes to cover her mouth, a blush coming to her cheeks. That's so scandalous...and dangerous!! She's in a committed love life and can't go accidentally consuming wack fruits!!!!! Not to mention she's been saving herself for her future married life!!! ]
Didn't he tell you what it looks like, or anything? Misa doesn't want to accidentally eat it...
[ She, too, has experienced guys that have gotten too touchy or aggressive in their flirting... Misa is confident in her own ability to defuse a situation like that, but at Kale's current level, it's worrying. ] Usually if I'm doing this, it's at a party with other girls from my agency, so doing it alone is kind of more dangerous.
So you have to signal to me or something if a guy bothers you! Misa will help.
[ Not that she could physically box off someone, but she'd do what her tiny self could. ]
I pushed one of them away and then the others left me alone after that. I...didn't think I pushed that hard, but the guy I pushed went flying back about thirty feet. Um...that's okay, right?
[Please say yes, it's okay. She's hoping she didn't mess up even further. She pushed him with the amount of force that would be appropriate for dealing with a pushy Saiyan male, and it hadn't occured to her that the amount of force she used would be excessive for others.]
He landed in sand and was able to get up and walk so he wasn't too badly hurt or anything.
Nope! Misa is a model. [ But making jewelry seems easy enough? In her own opinion, she has a good eye for style, so it'd be easy enough to design something that looked good... and isn't that the most difficult part of making it? ] Or, was, I guess...
Since it doesn't seem like there would be any work for me here.
[ There's no magazines to land shoots on, after all. ]
[ How often that word gets brought now that they've arrved in Olympia. Models hadn't been all too common in the bustling streets of Central, the military had always had too much of an iron fist rule for such frivolities to take place in large quantities. And, quite simply, there was no real market for it.
But here things are different and modeling, in all its forms, is quite common. Not that she would ever recommend someone of Misa's age to participate in Koralle's special brand of modeling but surely they can find something for Misa. ]
You could find similar work, if that's what you really wish to do.
[ She doesn't know if she has the heart to tell these people that their clothes are ugly, but they're just so...not her style. Regular Earth clothes were fine and good - not everyone can pull off every style, and she'd been happy with her personal look. But everything here seems so dull in comparison... ]
I thought maybe they might have some clothes of mine on the - [ She almost mentions the ship, but shakes her head, not wanting to break the rule she'd just been told about. ] You know, where we came from! I didn't check... and won't it be kind of gross to wear the same thing each day...
Yeaaaaaaaaaah... making the trip there is a little much, but it's honestly better than wearing most of the clothes here. I mean, some of them are cute but not all of it, plus it seems like they only saved one outfit out of my entire wardrobe.
[ And she breathes out a sigh. ]
I don't know if it'll be the same for you, but it's probably better than nothing to check later.
[ And hey! They're finally at the diner she had mentioned earlier, to which Leanne escorts them both to a nearby booth that's distant from any possibly prying ears. Seating herself across from Misa and being greated by their waiter who hands them both a glass of water. ]
There's still plenty I'm learning about both this place and the ship, though, it seems like I'm learning something new everyday.
Y...You're a vampire? [ Of course, she feigns surprise, eyes growing wide and a hand coming to her mouth. She'd known he must have had some sort of...life altering thing going on, but to find a real life vampire is still somewhat shocking. She's not afraid; it seems as though if he was going to kill her or something he would've done it already. ] They really did "save" all sorts of people.
[ For a moment, she just stares at him while he picks up what she assumes is her jewelry, thinking to herself that someone who looks lke this would have completely stood out on Earth. The name CROWLEY EUSFORD is such a unique one, too. ]
So, the saying that vampires can't touch crosses is fake?
[ Of course Crowley has no ability to read minds, fortunately, and so when show expresses some surprise he believes it to be genuine. In his own world the identity of vampires was easy to spot, they weren't an enigma like they were years before, and so what's odd now is adjusting to people who actually haven't met his kind before.
He comes closer, holding out her belongings in his hand. ]
Ha, if only it were true. [ Then he could have killed Ferid long ago. ] Neither that or garlic, and I don't need permission to come into your house, either. The humans who created those stories only did so so that they can feel like they can defeat us with common necessities, but that's not the case.
[ Besides the sun, that is, but obviously his kind have made it possible so that walking during the day isn't a hassle. ]
No, I don't, but Misa has been here for a while. I think I'd remember if I saw you before.
[ And whether or not she met a lot of people, she still saw dozens and dozens of names every day. It was easy for her to recall seeing a face once or twice, just out of habit. Not that she would make that obvious. ]
It's probably for the better that you came after all that stuff with Olympia. At least you get to have a fun party first thing...
[ Compared to the horrible diseases she'd had to witness the first month she'd been here, this was a lot better. ]
Just a little... since it's so cold, the ground outside hurts to fall on.
[ If she'd known, she wouldn't have worn those damn heels. Her arms cross in order to hug herself in the cold air, sniffling a little. ]
It never got too icy where I used to live. [ Before the storm, that is. ] Not everyone is used to things like that, so they should warn people with signs or something! Right?
[ Her brows furrow a little bit, trying to think. Tasting like the sun or stars? ]
Well, then that's up to the other player to either agree or disagree... or we can skip weird ones... [ Maybe they need to hire a referee. This is getting complicated. ] Let's just cross that bridge when we get there!
[ She's always been an impulsive, fly by the seat of her skirt person anyway. She'll take the initiative to pick up one of the two glasses in front of them, the liquid inside not too different looking from a red wine, except for the fact that it's kind of shimmery, like those weird galaxy wines. ]
We can do this one first since it looks pretty familiar. Got it?
[ She's holding her glass towards him expectantly for a before game clink clink for good luck. ]
