[ okay so when Yin said she'd knock she more or less meant that she would kick the bottom corner of Vera's apartment door firmly with her booted toe. how else is she going to announce herself, with her hands full of two pizza boxes? scream? that wouldn't go over well with the heiress and she is here on friendly terms.

mostly.

there's another purpose for the blonde's visit today. there is a long, narrow box straining the fabric of the messenger backpack she was wearing. it's just a matter of figuring out exactly when to bring it up. ]

Yin? Is that you?

[Vera calls out from the other side of the door, quickly rushing to open up for the girl. Yin will find her wearing a wispy white sundress, while being unusually barefooted. The heiress stares wide-eyed at the blonde balancing act in front of her before moving to take the pizza boxes out of her hand.]

Holy shit, Yin, you didn't have to do all this.

[longwei2go]

No, it's the tooth fairy!

[ Yin scoffed and reached her hand up high — if not entirely out of Vera's reach, which is obviously more stunted than usual. ] No one said this was for you, pipsqueak. I didn't even think you'd touch the stuff.

[heiroglyphs]

[Vera's not even going to make an attempt to jump for the boxes, if Yin wants to carry them then she's more than welcome to. She'll just roll her eyes at Yin's subtle knock on her height.]

Uh, pizza is delicious? Why wouldn't I like pizza?

[longwei2go]

[ as subtle as a bag of bricks through the window. ] I figured you for the type to watch your waif-ish figure.

You gonna let me in the door, or what?

[heiroglyphs]

Staying in shape means moderation plus exercise. You can eat whatever you want as long as you're not stuffing your face like a pig.

[But all the same, she'll step inside and hold the door open.]

Feel free to set them on the coffee table.

[longwei2go]

Damn. I guess I'll have to share after all. [ she sighed as she stepped inside and took a look around. ] Should've brought another.

[heiroglyphs]

[Her apartment is about what you would expect-- modern, elegant, and very upscale. A large common room with white walls, antique furniture, and opulent decoration leading into an open kitchen. A flatscreen tv at least 70" is mounted on the wall between two frames paintings, sitting across from a white leather couch and loveseat with a large glass coffee table. On one end of the common room there is a door that leads into what looks like a recording studio, while the door on the other leads into a hallway to the rest of the apartment.]

You're seriously saying you could eat even one entire pizza by yourself? I feel like I'm gorging myself after two slices.

[longwei2go]

Sure. [ she walks right in and doesn't spare the place much of a second glance yet. first she has to put the boxes down and sling the backpack off of her, then Yin can admire her surroundings. ] All it takes is mass, determination, and a lack of self-respect.

Plus, after giving a good pounding for hours I need a lot of calories. [ said with a totally straight expression, too. ]

[heiroglyphs]

Do I want to know what you mean by... "pounding"?

[longwei2go]

[ Yin popped open the top box and grabbed a slice of pizza. meat lover's from the looks of it. ] Hey, what I get up to in my basement is between me and my cameras.

[ aaand down the hatch! ]

[heiroglyphs]

Don't want to know, got it.

[She's not even going to fight it, at this point she realizes that taking Yin's bait is only going to make things more ridiculous than they already are. So instead she'll grab a couple plates from the kitchen and offer one to the taller girl.]

Looks good.

[longwei2go]

[ when Vera turns her back she just chuckles around a mouthful of food. ] My drumming! What did you think?

[ of course Yin knows. or has a good idea. that was the idea. she can't help running her mouth but now it's little more than stalling. ] Cheapest place in town, but the fastest.

[ she plops another slice onto the plate and then plants her butt on the couch. ] Better get it while it's hot.

[heiroglyphs]

Well, it's pretty hard to screw up pizza.

[So she'll sit down on the opposite side of the couch with a slice of her own.]

But thanks. I'll get the food next time.

[longwei2go]

"Next time"? Look at you being all confident.

[ Yin gestured with her slice, somehow not dripped grease or cheese anywhere. ] C'mon. You've gotta show me the goods.

[heiroglyphs]

And here I was thinking that you enjoyed my company.

[She chuckles, standing up and disappearing into the hallway for a minute before returning with a wooden lockbox covered in intricate carvings and, of course, her monogrammed initials. The key was already in the lock when she hands it over to Yin.]

There she is. I'm excited to test it out.

[longwei2go]

Maybe that's what I want you to think! [ she shouted off after Vera left the room. she took the time to gobble down the rest of her slice and then lick the grease off her fingers. she's just through wiping them off on her pants when the girl reappears. ]

Test it out with what, exactly? [ Yin had an idea but at the same time she can't believe Vera would actually be converted to the good stuff after just a few puffs. she gives the box a look, then Vera, then the box again. ] Oh my god it's not a fucking medal, just open it.

[heiroglyphs]

Ugh, way to take all the fun out of the reveal. Here.

[She opens the box and takes out the vape in all its golden glory before offering it to Yin.]

[longwei2go]

What'd I say about function over fashion?

[ Yin picks it up and the first thing she notices is: ] Hefty.

[heiroglyphs]

Why do something if you can't show off?

[She says with a grin.]

Yeah, all that metal will do that.

[longwei2go]

Great, so if it breaks it'll make a good paperweight. [ she is already maneuvering to inspect the nozzle, the air intake, and if it's empty, begins to untwist the end to check what kind of battery it uses. ]

[heiroglyphs]

[Vera wouldn't be able to tell Yin a thing about any of the components, but everything inside is fairly high-quality beginner stuff. You know, so she doesn't accidentally blow herself up or burn up the coils.]

Uh yeah, so do me a favor and don't drop it.

[She opens a hidden component in the bottom of the box and retrieved her bottle of extract.]

So... you gonna show me how to fill this thing?

[longwei2go]

[ Yin just stares at her a moment. ] What, it didn't come with a manual?

[heiroglyphs]

Why read a manual when I have a resident expert?

[longwei2go]

Because a manual doesn't charge by the minute.

[heiroglyphs]

Again, you seem to think that money is an issue.

[She snorts.]

Besides, you want to smoke out of it just as bad as I do.
