New Hair *sobs*

[redcinemareel]

[In the quad, Grell has just returned from town, sporting a new hairstyle due to unfortunate events that singed her hair.

She's SULKING because this is the first time since entering the Shinigami Dispatch Society has she cut her hair. Trim, sure, but cut?! NEVER.]

Takes out a pocket mirror, turning her head about to and fro to access it. Sighs.]

It will require some getting used to. [SHUTS THE MIRROR] Oh, cruel Fates! I've sinned while observing the flesh of another man in HEAT, and my flames engulfed us both!

I'd only do it again! [Giggles softly.]

That is what it says it will do. But I prefer not to take chances.

[Hence the umbrella.]

[redcinemareel]

Thank you, then.

[Looks to the umbrella] You might do best with a parasol, dear. All that vinyl attracts so much heat! Not even the GOOD kind.

[bentbowarcher.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[he gives her a blank stare, slowly tilting his head back to look up at the umbrella] A parasol? What is that?

[redcinemareel]

An umbrella of sorts, but made of cloth. [Sure, women used it mostly, but she isn't going to mention that.] Much better protection than that material. [Points to his umbrella.]

[bentbowarcher.livejournal.com]

Oh. [He tilts his head to the side, considering that.] I was unaware of such things. Trolls largely do not concern themselves with such matters. Do you know where I may purchase such a thing?

[redcinemareel]

Trolls? [That explained some things.] Odd, a troll with an umbrella...

Unfortunately I don't. There must be somewhere in town that would.

i am so sorry this took so long i fail ._.

From Alternia. Another human mentioned fairy tales earlier today, but I highly doubt we're the same thing. And it's not odd at all. We're primarily a nocturnal species, as the harsh Alterian sun burns our eyes and skin, as a member of the blue blooded nobility, my eyes and skin are particularly sensitive.

Unfortunately, I do not have much by way of currency yet. This will simply have to suffice until then.

it's alright! ^^b

[redcinemareel]

You look nothing like a fairy tale. And with such PROPER speech! No a fairy tale at all~!

Don't you know we all get a stipend each semester?

[bentbowarcher.livejournal.com]

As I said, I am nobility. I am far more educated and dignified than many of the other trolls you will most likely be encounter. [Actually, he's pretty much the only troll like this. He is so ashamed of his race]

I have only just arrived this morning. There is still much I have to learn.

[redcinemareel]

This is very true. [Ah, Tavros...an interesting character. And Grell totally digs this guy here! NOBILITY~!]

You're in LUCK! I know all there is to know about Garden! Do you have a name, sweetie?

[bentbowarcher.livejournal.com]

My name is Equius.

[pause]

Thank you, for offering to teach me about the Garden.

[redcinemareel]

So nice to meet your acquaintance. I'm Grell. [WINKS] I will do my utmost to bestow you with my wisdom~!

[What is this winking? He stares at her blankly, tilting his head slightly so he can look at her over the rims of his glasses]

[redcinemareel]

...don't you know it's not polite to stare? [Nobles...]

[bentbowarcher.livejournal.com]

[He simply arches an eyebrow. People skills, he does not have them]

[redcinemareel]

[SIGHS]

SAY SOMETHING.

[bentbowarcher.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[redcinemareel]

It's a start.

In order to know about Garden, how about ASKING QUESTIONS?

[bentbowarcher.livejournal.com]

I do not know which questions to ask. [He shrugs] What information do you find relevant?

[redcinemareel]

Why didn't you say that before?! Really!

[Crosses her arms] I'd say, the quad is the place to be! See and be seen.

[bentbowarcher.livejournal.com]

My interpersonal skills are lacking. [He shrugs, as if he really doesn't care]

I have noticed a lot of people gather here. It's too bright.

[redcinemareel]

So it seems.

Well, of course! See and be seen! Hard to do in the shadows. BUT There is a shady spot over there~. [Points it out to him. It's beneath a tree. And near a garbage can.]
