002 | ❝Destiny's Union...❞

[destinedwaters]

Who: Aqua and everyone
Where: Varies; Capricorn District and Nyx's Nightclub being two of them.
Summary: Just your average nights as a worker... with a little training and a KH cast meeting on the side
Warnings: Spells that make things go boom in the last option. You have been warned.

Pisces Apartments 7-08, locked to KH cast
It wasn't long after seeing that notice on the network that Aqua took down the details and messaged the others before heading home early. Something about it was bothering her, though she did appreciate how this Suou was forthcoming with information. That would make it easier to come up with what to do or at least get on the same page with the others.

She began waiting for the others just outside her apartment, calming herself and going over the information in her mind. ...At least there's some hot chocolate ready.

Monday - Friday Nights; Capricorn District
It's almost funny how wandering in a dark area with possible danger everywhere was something she was far too used to at this point. At least it would be, but it's something consistent and she loved helping to protect others and maintain peace. As much as could be afforded.

Bother her?

Saturday-Sunday Nights; Nyx's Nightclub, Taurus District
If anyone had told her six years ago that she would be loving her job as a makeup artist at a club run by demons, she would have likely stared at them as though they spouted a second head. Though now it wasn't too far from the truth as she stood there in her... uniform. Oddly enough it isn't much less than what she normally wears, and the people she works with are... Okay no, she can't completely even think that.

Hat hiding her eyes somewhat, she still smiles faintly as she sets up her station. What? Did you think she was a dancer? Sorry, fanboys~ Only a makeup artist unless someone sees her Lightbloom shotlock.

Afternoons, Capricorn or otherwise
Well, she was going to be entering the tournament when signups became available. Might as well practice while she could before having to work, right? Aqua was being discreet about it though, making sure no one was around when she began practicing not just with Eudora or Tatsu Blaze, but her strongest spells if it came down to it.

Which is why she was in Capricorn; the small forest and vast plain were perfect for practicing without hurting anyone who could accidentally stumble across her. Not to mention negate a lot of property damage. She was not here to cause the destruction of city property, after all. Her job patrolling here at night at least gave her some familiarity with the area, too.

Of course, it didn't stop her from practicing elsewhere with the more minor skills. ...Bother? Be brave enough to sit from a safe distance to gawk/enjoy popcorn/whathaveyou?

...She was beginning to miss her home castle, either way.

YOU MEAN THE ISSUE SOMEONE TRIES TO IGNORE THE EXISTANCE OF?

[destinedwaters]

Just a little bit, and it was...rather concerning, considering his personality. To be honest, it kind of reminded her of someone she'd met before. Well, would have if the guy wasn't a grade A jerk. Still, she at least wanted to apologize to him again now that he was in his right mind and not wearing a loincloth, light above have mercy?

Not to mention as time went by she grew increasingly worried. So of course, she was going to wait for him to come back home one day we do not talk about what she is wearing under her longcoat, noooope and knock on his door. Seriously, something was up and even though Zack flirted with her once? He was still one of her close friends back home.

...if she ever got back home, but MOVING ON... Knocking on his door, yes.

"Michel? Michel, please answer..."

> You sense a concerned Starsis...
> Answer the door?

[deathboss]

> Does he have a choice?
> Open Door
or
> Open Door

Eventually after a few moments of pure silence, there was a voice that replied back. Carefully, part of the door opened up slowly and the top if Eikichi's hair peeked out.

"...is something wrong?"

He was going to try and play it cool. Obviously this was already failing horribly considering he hadn't even casually added 'babe' to the end of that sentence.

[destinedwaters]

Of course he had a choice, but at the same time... the silence was unnerving. Especially since she was beginning to grow fond of he dying cat noises he'd make. That concern was probably transparent on her face when he finally began peeking out the door, and didn't finish the sentence with his usual "B" word.

Yeah, something was definitely wrong and she had a feeling she knew what started it.

"...You've been quiet since Christmas. I wanted to make sure you were alright."

Because rumors? To the deepest part of the Dark Realm with those. You couldn't believe everything you read (even though she kind of flailed about that particular one).

[deathboss]

Well it was hard for him to ignore that worried face. Maybe she hadn't read about that blurb. There had to be other people who's name started and ended with an A, right? YEAH! Yeah that was probably it! Chin up Eikichi, it was time to put on your mask again.

Immediately his mood changed, and he offered her a grin.

"Oh you mean the singing? Don't worry about that, I've been working late night shifts at a club. Practicing there seemed more natural...ba...yeah!" He could have gone into a barb about how if she was that worried about him, he could offer some of Michel's famous hospitality...but that little worried voice behind him stopped.

Besides...he had...

"A-anyway. You wanna come in?" The door opened and a surprisingly clean apartment greeted her right back.

[destinedwaters]

She wouldn't know about that, but hey... what were the odds in the first place? Though the sudden changing of moods-? Well, that was back to normal in the blink of an eye, despite the bit of hesitation.

"Really?" Oh dear, now she was a little worried but for another reason, considering she hadn't gone to work the weekend after Christmas because of a friend (and pseudo-niece) needing cheering up. Though now that she thought about it, this also meant that she was going to be in need of a new alarm clock... right. Worry about that later. "That's a bit of a coincidence."

Aqua smiled faintly, not really teasing and not really finishing her sentence.

"Mm. Okay, but I can't stay for long. I work night shifts, after all."

...Holy crap it was as clean as hers would be if she wasn't sharing her tiny place with two apprentices.

wow I got no notifs for this sob

[deathboss]

"Really! It just is the way that it is!" ...wait what was he talking about. He shook his head and gentle waited until she was completely in before closing the trap his door. He took great price in keeping up his image, and that included his apartment.

"Make yourself at home! It ain't much, but Michel makes sure his guest are always well taken care of." He tries to say something again about 'especially girls like you' but closes his mouth again and walks off to the fridge so he can bring at least something to eat out.

shh... it's okay... /shooshpap

[destinedwaters]

"Is it, now." Aqua had a strange glint in her eye. You know, the one where a girl knows something is up but won't say it due to being too polite and the "girl next door" type? Yeah, that one. It was a thing when she walked in, removing her small black hat for now. not her coat, though. It's... kind of embarrassing to her, still.

Still, she does at least make herself comfortable while she waits, deciding to ask something. "Which club are you working at, if you don't mind me asking?"
