[Open] I'm standing on the outside

[papillonmagique]

Who: Zoe Gallais and OPEN
Where: Aquarius district, Tuesday night
Summary: Zoe thinks it's time to awaken her Persona. So wandering out during the 13th Hour on her own is clearly the best plan.
Warnings: Demon fightings, persona awakenings and bratty mage alert.


[Zoe had only been here for a couple of days, but she is the impatient type. And she had watched how the 13th hour occurred and she knows how to fight and she has her lance with her, so it wasn't like she was going in completely unprepared.

She may have overestimated herself, however, especially when she came across a group of these monsters, and she was stuck using her lance to push them back more than attacking. But she had to keep trying, she had to- ]

- Come on! [And then her Persona appears in a flash of light above her, and takes care of some of the monsters with a few Kouha's. Zoe just stares at the sparkly rainbow butterfly for a moment.]

P-Petit Arc-en-ciel! So that's where you were! ... In my head. [Blink. And then she shrugs, shifting into a battle stance again. There is still a large group of monsters left, so she's starting to regret going out on her own now...]

If they were willing to look after me...

[papillonmagique]

Well, that's... [Pause. Ugh, this is hard, why is this so hard-]

... And do you... Mind my company, Judas?

[silvercoins]

You've been very good to me. I don't mind.

[papillonmagique]

Then would you want to... What I'm trying to say is... [She huffs with a pout, before rubbing at her forehead.]

Well, I... Check in to make sure you eat anyway, so wouldn't it be more convenient if we... shared the same apartment?

[silvercoins]

Well... Are you sure you could put up with me?

[It doesn't seem likely.]

[papillonmagique]

If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have said... And I was telling the truth when I said I enjoy your company.

[silvercoins]

Then, I'd like that. Please.

[papillonmagique]

[Oh, she... Wasn't expecting him to say yes. Now it's obvious that she's gone slightly red, but she quickly shakes her head and glances to the side.]

Oh... well, we have to be sure, first. For starters I play the violin, so if that could possibly disturb you...

[silvercoins]

I like the violin.

[papillonmagique]

Oh, really? That's fantastic! I'm pretty good at it, so I'll play you something sometime- [No Zoe going off topic now.]

... Ahem, I apologize.

[silvercoins]

It's all right. Enthusiasm is contagious.

[papillonmagique]

That does tend to be true.

... So would you honestly be all right with that? By that, I mean living with me.

[silvercoins]

I honestly would.

[papillonmagique]

Oh. Okay, right. [Zoe seems pretty damn happy now.]

... So, which apartment should we live in, yours or mine?

[silvercoins]

They're likely both mostly empty...

[papillonmagique]

Well, it depends on how much you want or need to move.

[silvercoins]

I can move in with you.

[papillonmagique]

All right, we can do that... Hmm, and you can have the bed tonight, until we can get another one tomorrow.

[silvercoins]

I'll sleep on the floor.

[papillonmagique]

No, I will. I don't mind and you need to sleep better, after all.

[silvercoins]

I'll sleep on the floor, Zoe. It's your apartment.

[papillonmagique]

[Just gonna pout and cross her arms.] And it's also your apartment now, don't forget.

[silvercoins]

I couldn't take the bed from you.

[papillonmagique]

And why not?

[silvercoins]

I'd feel bad about it, is why.
