053 Red Letters

[eat_me_beat_me]

[After being stuck as an old bat for a few days Nora needs some youthful rebellion in her life. Really. She may have been a rebellious old bat but the operative word here is OLD.

So she's doing something she hasn't done in a while - vandalizing the lobby.

What? She's bored, it's there, it's a perfect combination!

She's got her easel tilted to hold her big box of chalk, a ladder to help her reach the higher parts and she's worked all day to produce this little jem using Crowley's Bentley as the model. Why? Because she can. She has her journal propped on its special little stand on the easel and she dictates as she works]

You know what I'm in the mood for? A movie day. You know, when a whole group of people get together and go to the movies. Anyone else out there want to join me or would I be going by myself?

[Rise

Hey, you still want to do that sleepover sometime?

[/Rise

[Giotto]

I'm decorating the lobby if you wanna see.

[/Giotto]

[Lemony Snicket]

I saw your little checklist earlier this week. If there's anything I can do to help with whatever you're setting up just let me know, okay?

[/Lemony Snicket]

[He'll just be on one of his usual castle wanders, gathering more wished booze (after all, South keeps drinking all of his) when he pauses at this piece of art. He watches her for a moment, before speaking]

I'm not sure if I should take that as a threat or a homage.

[Nora - Dictated]

[therealrisette]

[Rise caught the filter pretty quickly this time. She'd actually been thinking about that, too! She had no idea when they first planned it that things would get so crazy halfway through February...]

Of course! I haven't really had a chance to talk to anyone yet with how crazy things have been...

[Not sure whether to mention the whole Holly Peaks thing or not. At least they were still friends there! Sort of.]

... but the pillow's not going anywhere! And I can introduce you all to Yukiko-chan! She's a friend from home.

[That is, assuming Yukiko would be comfortable joining the other girls on the pillow where... it happened...]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[Nora doesn't even turn around, she just laughs and continues coloring in one of those happy little trees]

Could it be a little bit of both?

[Rise dictated forever]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[Neither did Nora but shit does happen in this place and you learn to roll with it pretty quickly.]

Yeah me, neither. If you want to put out the call I can give you the names of the girls I think'd be interested.

[Ooo new friends are always fun.]

Someone from your world showed up here? That's awesome! I'd love to meet her.

Action forever

[He doesn't answer, just wanders down to the lobby, looking at the mural she is painting. he doesn't actually know what it's of, but he can still appreciate it.]

The lobby looks more colorful already.

[and ever ♥]

[therealrisette]

Sure! I met Ino-chan over the journals too, so I'm looking forward to seeing her in person!

[She hesitates a bit when it comes to talking about Yukiko, though. But only a bit, and only because she had to mention her in the same breath as talking about that pillow! Stupid memory association...]

Yeah, one of my best friends, too! [She'd probably say this about any of the Investigation Team, but she really does feel closer to Yukiko since it's just the two of them here.] I hope she'll come. She can be a bit shy...

[And the last time she was on that pillow, they were compelled into making out. Details.]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[When she hears the voice she turns around and grins]

I'm glad you approve. Hey I always take requests.

[onlyanapple]

Perhaps. Though I don't take one very lightly at all.

[is_mafia]

I have no idea what I would request. [He takes a few steps up to glance at it.] Except for a landscape from Sicily. I miss it.

Dictated

[cyan_maid]

...When were you thinking of going to the movies? And could folks in attendance bring a friend?

[solowingpixy]

[Generally he wouldn't really be interested any other time, but it sounded somewhat interesting this time.]

And what sort of movies were you thinking?

Miss Diniro

[theabjectauthor]

[he sounds almost cheerful - things MUST be going well] You can do whatever you'd like. I suppose you've guessed it by now, but I'm attempting to start a Paradisa headquarters for the V.F.D. Your commonplace book may be getting more use, soon enough.

[silentrunning]

[Chell is hanging out on the roof, journal next to her, and catches Nora's dictation...She scrawls a quick message.]

I've never seen a movie.

[This is her picking up her shit and running back into the building.]

[shenunigans]

oh hell yes
i am so down for this

what is even playing

[eat_me_beat_me]

Oh like I'd ever actually do anything like crash your precious car.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She thinks for a moment, setting aside her chalk and hopping off the ladder]

You know... murals painted in the rooms stay, I've had one on mine for like a year, now. If you want I could paint something on your wall for you.

Dictated

[eat_me_beat_me]

Dunno yet, maybe in a week or so. That way it'd give people time to hear about it.

And definitely! The more the merrier!

[eat_me_beat_me]

I dunno yet. I guess I'd see what everyone wanted and try to pick something that fit.

Any requests?

Mr. Snicket

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah I figured as much when I saw that list. I think it's awesome! Were a lot of people interested?

[eat_me_beat_me]

Really? Oh man we've gotta fix that!

[you poor deprived thing you]

[eat_me_beat_me]

Whatever the fuck we want. We just gotta pick a movie, or a few of 'em, whatever.

[onlyanapple]

How many times have I heard that while I've been here.

[is_mafia]

You could? [He pauses, though. He can't just ask her to do it and then not pay her.] But I would have nothing to give you in return.

Dictated

[cyan_maid]

Wonderful! Thank you very much!

[shenunigans]

slasher flicks or more slasher flicks
that is the question
