Putting things right [ACTION] + [BBS]

[redcinemareel]

[ACTION A]

[There is a pile outside her dorm room of mostly things that are broken due to the rough tumble Garden took. Broken mirrors, ruined towels, shattered teacups and saucers, and cat toys tangled beyond help.The pile grows each day, little by little, as she sifts through her room. Don't trip on it!]


[ACTION B]

[Grell is walking about the Garden with her cats on a leash, mostly taking a break from putting her room right. Her cats stop to play with a wad of paper, however Grell isn't paying attention to that. Only when the lease becomes taut does she realize they've stopped. She seems pretty wrapped up in her own thoughts up until this point. With a sigh, she snaps her fingers at them a few times.]

Leave it! [The cats come to attention and look to each other, as if truly contemplating on whether or not they should listen. Really, guys?]


[BBS]

I'm offering 100 Gil to anyone who can clear away the pile of broken items from just outside my dormitory.

Broken items? Nothing in them you want, I hope. Fixing them's quite simple.

[redcinemareel]

My items are in quite a state of despair. You're more than welcome to have a go with them.

[jointheclub]

[A short time later, there's a knock on her door...]

[redcinemareel]

[The door is opened, with a black cat on her shoulder.]

Instructor. You're rather quick. [Which is commendable, and poking fun at his age.]

[jointheclub]

Even a weary old man like myself knows not to keep a lady waiting.

[He gestures theatrically with his wand at what had been a discard pile, but thanks to the power of the Mending Charm, now contains only items that look as if they'd never broken.]

[redcinemareel]

Such wisdom should be shared!

[She peers over at the pile, and looks quite surprised. The once broken mirror is whole as she picks it up to inspect it. Although Grell is indeed full of wonder, she doesn't look all that ecstatic.]

[jointheclub]

[Noticing that, Slughorn raises an eyebrow.]

What? Not satisfied? It's as good as new, without question.

[mera_mera_ace]

{Instead of replying to the BBS, Ace just goes down to her room and knocks.]

Hey, Sis? You said you needed help moving stuff? I'll help ya.

[redcinemareel]

[She was about to come outside when he knocks, so the door is opened relatively quickly. In her hands are trash bags, which she can take out herself.]

Oh~? I'm not going to pay you, although I can treat you to something to eat.

[mera_mera_ace]

[Pouts]

But your post said 100 gil for anyone who helps you move this pile of stuff.

[redcinemareel]

I wouldn't pay family! That's absurd! [A pause] Unless you need to earn some Gil?

[mera_mera_ace]

[Still kind of pouting] No, I don't need the money. But I'm a pirate, loot is loot.

I'll still do it of course, but I might just sneak into your bed a few more times as compensation.

[redcinemareel]

Would you really accept payment from your captain's wife, Ace? [Just the thought of doing so sounds silly.]

With an attitude like that, I may have to change the locks!

[om_nom_namur]

[Namur is not really paying attention to where he's going, and trips over the pile of junk.]

Ow! Shit! What the? Damn it Marco, what y' pilin' all this shit in front a yer room for?!

[redcinemareel]

I told him to put there neatly. [Yeah, she's gonna pin this all on Marco. Just because.] It seems that he didn't get the message.

[One of her cats comes out to see what all the commotion is about.]

Make sure you put back what you tripped over, won't you?

[om_nom_namur]

[Namur gives the pile a funny look.]

Uh...

[And nudges the broken frame of something with his foot, from kind of near the edge of the pile to sort of higher up.]

Pretty sure that's where that was.

[He's not, actually.]

[redcinemareel]

[Oh, Namur...]

Yes, that seems about right.

[It's not, but the effort is appreciated. Meanwhile, Polish steps out more and looks up at Namur, as if sizing him up. Not sure what to make of this fishy man...]

It seems you have yet another admirer~!

[om_nom_namur]

'Nother'n?

[Oh. Right. Namur rolls his eyes, and wishes he weren't so prone to blush.]

Y' don't believe that shit Thatch says, d' y'?

[He squats down and holds out a hand for the cat to inspect.]

Here, fuzzball.

[redcinemareel]

Of course not! It's just so very cute~! [She giggles, watching her cat sniff at the hand tentatively. Eventually, Polish rubs its head against the hand, which makes Grell laugh.]

[espio]

[There is a small pile of broken junk close to Espio's room. At least he's observant enough to not trip over it, but it does kind of bug him. He's left it alone for a while, figuring the couple opposite would eventually clean it up, but... eh.

So, he raps on the door when he knows one of them'll be around.]

Do you plan on fixing any of this junk, or shall I take it away?

[redcinemareel]

[There are footsteps before the door is opened. Grell looks down at him and shrugs.]

It's getting fixed, but if it's not going fast enough for you, then you're free to do as you wish.

[espio]

[Espio shrugs in return.]

I don't wanna move anything you want to keep, but I'll take anything you don't want away. I'm not doing anything else.

[redcinemareel]

[This time, she blinks at him, because that isn't the answer she expects.]

...pardon? [Is he offering to help, and actually be useful?]

[espio]

Don't look so confused. If you need someone to shift it, then I'll do it.

[redcinemareel]

You can't really blame me for being so baffled! [She waves a dismissive hand at him.] I've been thorough enough to not care what happens to these items!
