[action] some days must be dark [closed]

[twin_tails]

Who: Junko Enoshima, Kazuichi Souda
Where: Union business district.
When: 1/29, late afternoon
What: The weather is conspiring against her.



[The day had started out fine. Or at least not relentlessly annoying. Sure, it was still cold as hell, she was still bored, everything still sucked but at least it had been dry, instead of this awful freezing rain-- more like sleet, really, because even normal rain was something she could handle, as annoying as it was. This, though, this is intolerable; she hates hates hates cold and wet and she's never gotten so thoroughly soaked and chilled so quickly.

She's taken cover where she can, tucked into a doorway that's at least a little out of the wind with Arashi-- who is exactly as unhappy as she is, but shielding her all the same, putting his larger luxio form to use. They're obvious, too brightly colored to blend into the samey greyness of the rainy city, but it's nothing they can help for the moment.]

[Arashi bonks his head into Belaire's cheek, letting out an affectionate grumbly growly 'mrrrow.' Being a teenager cat has made him no less friendly, especially towards super nice friends who let him in out of the rain.

Junko, of course, is much less so, and shoots a look of surprise and uncertainty Kazuichi's way before she gets back to hand-combing her drippy tail.]

What? No, I-- It's fine.

[Her voice settles back into her usual casual drawl as she goes on, and that lazy smile flickers back on.]

You don't want me around, I don't wanna be here-- it's no big deal. I can just chill in here until the fucking rain stops if you're cool.

[Like she is totally not homeless and soaked through and freezing, no, she's completely fine.

The shivering is kind of throwing off her ability to lie convincingly.]

[creamsouda]

[There it is.

A rejection of a completely practical option. That's enough to switch Kazuichi's concern from 'Belaire will get mad' to--]

Are you crazy? You're gonna catch a cold like that!

Or-- [Don't say wind up smelling like wet skunk, Kazuichi.]

I-I dunno. Jeez! Come on, I'm offerin', ain't I?

[He motions toward the door Belaire is standing near, already starting to pout.

Belaire, however, looks over her shoulder to watch this. It's nicer when she doesn't have to butt him into this kind of thing-- usually he likes helping out, but he's always either been a. embarrassing; b. completely useless; c. intimidated; or d. all of the above when it comes to helping girls.

This boy, she swears.]

[She smells perfectly fine thank you, no worse than her cat does! Just damp, is all. She controls her poison powers.

She bristles a little at his voice, shoulders coming up tense; all arguments translate to fight and she's ready before she realizes that's not the intent at all. It takes her a second to readjust, where she snorts and makes a show of shaking some more droplets out of her fur before she can stride forward like she's absolutely breezy and carefree.]

Alright, fiiiine, if you're that damn worried.

[Because if he offers it's not her fault if she begrudgingly accepts, right? It won't get used against her later. Because she didn't need anything, he insisted, right?]

[creamsouda]

[Belaire seems to relax a lot more than Kazuichi does.

Kazuichi, however, having received his confirmation that she'd do it, walks to the door in the back to beckon her over.]

This way. Jeez, act like you wanna freeze...

[Opening the door (and allowing Belare to scamper in first), it's obvious how small this house really is. From the doorway a hallway closet to the right side is visible, across from a somewhat claustrophobic set of stairs. Behind that staircase is a kitchen-diningroom combo and beside it is a bathroom and shower behind a curtain..

Upon seeing that curtain, Kazuichi seems to remember the place is a god damn mess, and bristles up.]

W-Wait a second, uh--

[With Belaire holding the door open, Kazichi hurries to said bathroom, leaving behind only the sounds of hurried rearranging.]
