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.

{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.

[->Action!]

[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.]

[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.

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

[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?

[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.

[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]

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!

[mera_mera_ace]

[Grins and chuckles.] Nah I wouldn't and you know it obviously. I would do it for free, but food is always nice. Fair warning though..I eat A LOT!

And you know I would only be doing it to sleep. For some reason having people nearby helps. Not sure why.

[redcinemareel]

So I've heard, but you'll not eat me out of house and home! Just because I'm treating you, doesn't mean there isn't a limit.

[She shrugs casually at his last statement.] It may be a subconscious effect. But you can't rely on it forever.

[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.]

[mera_mera_ace]

Harsh. But whatever, I'll take what I can get.

It's not like I spend every night here, just when they get really bad.

[redcinemareel]

I'm aware, but my statement remains.

[How did she ever find him adorable? She crosses her arms, no longer amused by his attitude.]

I no longer require your assistance.

[mera_mera_ace]

[Pouts] What did I do?

[redcinemareel]

Because you're being flippant about assisting me! If you're going to be such a way, then you may as well NOT help!

[mera_mera_ace]

But I want to help you. I wouldn't be here if I didn't. But if I'm such a bother, I'll go. [Turns to leave]

[redcinemareel]

[She isn't sure how to properly respond to that, so Grell opts for silence. He isn't a bother, but his attitude has ticked her off, and she's sure that it wouldn't improve in his company. She does speak up after a few long moments.]

Perhaps you should return later.

[mera_mera_ace]

[He keeps walking, not even bothering to return a glance as he raises his hand in a wave letting her know he heard her. Right now, he himself needed to calm down,]

[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~!
