Minako

[notyourutopian]

[Eleanor sat at a table in the corner of the Recolle library, her laptop and a cup of coffee next to her, as she waited for Minako to arrive. The girl had asked her to help with setting up a blog, which had made Eleanor realize just how much she'd been neglecting her blog lately. Whoops?]

[So she was absently working on an update as she waited for the other to arrive.]

[complementing]

[Setting up this knitting blog was something she hadn't been sure she should do. It is, of course, always a question of time-- how much she has available when she's in school and working.

(There's also that familiar guilt about not using the extra time to look for her brother, but it's easy to set it aside after it pinches her.)

Minako arrives with a cute computer bag slung over her shoulders alongside her purse, and the first thing she does is set a knit octopus next to Eleanor's laptop.]

As a thank you present, for agreeing to help me. I wasn't sure if I should go with realistic or cute, but cute is my specialty, so...

[notyourutopian]

[Eleanor looked up in surprise at the knit octopus, reaching out to pick it up and look it over as Minako sat down.]

It is completely adorable and you can't have it back. [She grinned a silly grin and set her new octopus on the edge of her laptop.] And cute is always better. Real octopus's are pretty weird looking.

[complementing]

Good, I'm glad you like it. I was having trouble getting the head shape for a real looking octopus down anyways.

[She flops down into her own seat and starts booting up her own laptop. While that happens, out comes a canvas bag full of little knit projects.]

Here, some other samples for my work! As inspiration or something, I guess.

[notyourutopian]

Oh wow.

[Eleanor pushed her laptop aside for the moment to rifle through all the knitting things.]

These are really good, Minako. [Eleanor smiled.] I don't think you'll have any trouble getting people to want them.

Jake and Togusa

[notyourutopian]

Okay.

[Eleanor spoke in a half-whisper as she and Jake stood in the lobby of the Recollé police station. Without pointing, she nodded towards the guard watching the desk.]

All you need to do is chat that guy up for a minute so I can slip inside and get to Togusa's desk. Easy, right?

[Time to play a prank on an authority figure...]

[potentite]

[He nods. He's actually pretty excited about this one. It's a cute, harmless prank, after all.]

No problem. Anything particular topic for me to run with or just flapping my gums?

[notyourutopian]

In theory Togusa is out to lunch so I really only need a couple minutes to get to his desk and back. He's got this...book, right? It's blue so it has to be a retrospec thing. I'll just grab it real quick.

So... [That hadn't answered his question, had it?] Talk about whatever you think will keep a cop distracted for three minutes?

[potentite]

[The extra information is always helpful.]

Roger that. [He salutes.] Good luck, comrade! [He will offer her a fistbump for luck before slipping off to do his duty.]

Vera

[notyourutopian]

This is so ridiculous...

[Eleanor stood in the Towers, frowning to herself and readjusting her purse on her shoulder over and over. She was here to 'pick out a nice gift for Jim from hist registry' but she 1) Didn't want to get Jim a gift, 2) She certainly didn't approve of this marriage! and 3) If she had to do this, she didn't want to give him something nice!]

[Was the bingo card really worth this? With a huff she turned to give up, only to nearly walk smack into someone.]

Oh! Sorry, my bad.

[heiroglyphs]

[The shorter girl quickly steps backwards, looking up from her phone with a huff.]

Hey, you need to be more careful. I don't take kindly to being bowled over, you know.

[notyourutopian]

[Eleanor wasn't used to someone actually snapping back after she apologized, and she opened her mouth to say something rather rude but hesitated. There was something...]

I've seen you on retrospec, haven't I?

[heiroglyphs]

I... probably? I have a solid following on social media. Maybe we've spoken in the past?

Yukiko

[notyourutopian]

[Eleanor stood in the center of the clearing by the beach that Yukiko had shown her for power training, going through some basic stretches as she waited for the other girl to show up. She'd been there for half an hour or so, practicing, and the ground around her was littered with random things, rocks, empty cans, tennis balls, basketballs, things she could use to practice her telekinesis.]

[She'd been tossing them around earlier, but now she was just calming waiting for her friend. In theory they were going to try a bit of a mock-spar, but Eleanor did have a new surprise under her belt...which was kind of necessary when going up against Yukiko's guardian angel thing.]

[burningblossoms]

[Yukiko stepped out of the trees without any hesitation, fanning herself with that strange looking weapon she'd been given. Some sort of metal that was too light and too hard to be steel, ornately worked with scenes of the sea, and razor edged. It was more to be somewhat intimidating than because she planned to use the darn thing. It was too dangerous, and even if she could heal...Eleanor was still Eleanor.]

Sorry I'm late, Al was yapping at me when I didn't bring him so I had to give him a good scratching.

[Closing the fan with a -shick- sound, she grinned.]

Ready then?

[notyourutopian]

That puppy is going to be completely spoiled.

[Eleanor tone was good-natured as she said this, looking amused at Yukiko's little fan-closing snap. Well, if they were being showy...]

[She gestured to the side with both hands and a handful of small objects...rocks, cans, etc...fluttered into the air to float in a circle above her head.]

...Whenever you are, I am.

[burningblossoms]

Alright then.

[Blue flames wreath her hand, the by now familiar tarot card appears, and Yukiko's Persona bursts into being. It looks at Eleanor, bobs it's head, and sets that katana at the ready.]

Go.

[The Persona opens with a stream of fire, nothing that would do a ton of damage, just a beam not unlike sunlight. Pew pew]

Leo

[notyourutopian]

[Benefits of summer vacation was the high school was pretty much empty except for summer school, so Eleanor had commandeered one of the music rooms for this...exercise. 'Compose an Ode to Janet'. Bloody Hell. At least she wasn't doing it on her own.]

Okay, so. [She turned to Leo and grinned.] Full disclosure? I can't really sing.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ If Leo had known they had to sing this thing, he might’ve had second thoughts about committing to it. But since they were already here, they might as well go through with it.

...And maybe Eleanor’s confession helped a little. ]

Full disclosure? Neither can I, [ he replied with a laugh. ] At least we’ll suck together. Do we need music for this or are we doing a capella?

[notyourutopian]

Iiii don't know. I mean, I'm hoping we can get away with just words. I do not want to try and write an actual song...

[She hadn't entirely thought this through, really.]

Maybe we can just make it a...spoken word ode. Are those a thing?

[commandertoolbelt]

If they weren’t before, they are now!

[ He rubbed his hands together in anticipation. ]

Okay. So how should we start this? [ He’d never come up an ode before how do they work. ] Um… “Mrs. Janet, with the only blue eyes left on the planet…?”

[notyourutopian]

[Continued from here.]

[Eleanor grins.]

Perfect. With the two of us it shouldn't even take too long.

[And she was hardly very tall.]

[frisyr]

[ Mr. Shorty over here agrees ]

Alright, let's get to it. What else do you want to knock off your list?

Thank you.

[notyourutopian]

[Eleanor turned towards the beach then, tucking her whale under her arm and pulling out her phone.]

Hmm...

[Pondering her unfinished boxes.]

Got any siblings?

np!

[frisyr]

[ As he's building ]

Nope, sorry-- Dave does though. Two. Roxy and Dirk.
