Date: Right as the event begins, OH NO
Summary: A slumber party, but it seems the faerie that Nue and Sanae raised is gonna be causing some trouble
Warnings: Wild Cards everywhere


[[ ooc: Feel free to start your own threads, prose or bracket format. Nue and Sanae's faerie is going to be causing chaos throughout the party, so have fun with that!

"You can always learn. The library won't have a book on it, but if I have some time, I guess I could teach you the basics in a way that you won't mess up or hurt yourself."

As for the ice cream, she grabs a container of a random flavor — kiwi, from the looks of it — and thrusts it at Fionna. "Just... take some, already. If it melts or goes to waste, I won't forgive anyone here!" Said loudly and with a look around the room. Yes, girls, that means ALL of you.

[fionna_time]

"Ok!" Fionna took the ice cream, and gave Subaru a smile. "Thanks, Subaru."

She smiled. "I'll make sure they all appreciate it, ok?"

[of_the_highest_caliber]

There is the briefest of smiles in return. Fionna's not a bad kid, and maybe Subaru's being a little too cold.

...but that thought seems to leave as fast as it comes. She closes the cooler again and stands, dusting off her hands. "Don't mention it."

Then she looks around the room once more. "Did I miss anything interesting?"

[fionna_time]

Fionna is still trying to sort everything in her head, and of course Subaru is given priority.

"Just people talkin'. Me being called ugly, Sanae and Nue arguing, and talkin'."

Fionna wasn't quite sure what to think.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Hold the phone. Subaru narrows her eyes. "...who insulted you?" Another side effect of this behavior change is changing the way the woman perceives the protectiveness she feels toward her friends.

[fionna_time]

"Huh?" The way this day was going? Who was keeping track what someone said to someone else?

"Oh, Sette was all 'I'm fat and ugly' and junk. What a brat dude."

Yup. Didn't hurt. Not at all.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

"Oh right. Her." Said rather dismissively. Subaru remembered the warning from last time about the girl's behavior, only this time as she thought about it, she wasn't as easygoing with the idea.

Giving Fionna a once-over. "I'm not saying this for your benefit, but she should get her eyes checked."

[fionna_time]

Man, it would be totes easy to disregard her, right? It was all Fionna wanted to do, so she would get her out of her hair.

But at what Subaru said, Subaru that she sort of looked up to, she hid a smile.

"T-thanks. It helps, ya know, hearing that sometimes."

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Subaru flushed a bit, turning half away from the girl. "Yeah, well, I don't give that kind of service often, so be thankful!"

[fionna_time]

Ok. It was a lie. In the back of her mind, Fionna knew this was not Subaru behavior. She was a kind, gentle person, and knowing this place messed with that was annoying. So she was happy, grateful.

Fionna reached over and kissed the back of her head.

"Thanks."

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Subaru froze, slowly turning to stare at the blond like she had just shown her something horrific. There's also an odd stammer to her voice which had, despite some hiccups, remained steady this whole time. "W-what was that for?!"

[fionna_time]

Whoa. She did something wrong?

"Just saying thank you! I didn't mean to freak you out!"

[of_the_highest_caliber]

"I-if you wanted to thank me, you could have just used words!" Did her voice just rise an octave? It sure did. "You didn't have to do anything else, dummy!" She raises her hand and, unsure as to what she wanted to do with it — and there being some instincts that are harder to override than others she brings it to the back of her own head, ducking down a bit to look around.

She mumbles. "What if Katina was..."

[fionna_time]

"I'm not the best with words," Fionna admitted, looking a little abashed but still fairly energetic. "I just wanted to let you know I appreciate you. No one really got too friendly besides mar mar, so...thanks."


She got out of the way, and smiled. "So its Katina? Ok Subaru, sorry I might get ya in trouble!"

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Sorry Fionna, but she isn't paying much attention to the latter part because she's on the verge of a flailing meltdown. "What about Katina? Who said something about her? Is she here?" Frantically looking around.

Thankfully, there's no way Katina is here (I checked), so her concern is gone as fast as it appears.

"Not that... I care if she is. She's a grown woman, too, and she can go where she wants to!" So there!

[fionna_time]

"You kinda di-it doesn't matter though, its cool, ok?"

This was just too weird. Was Fionna going to have to deal with this kind of thing all the time?

"Sure man. And I'm sure she just misses you."

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Just a few days. Apologies from the management.

Sighing in relief, Subaru manages to regain her aloof composure. "Well if that's how she feels, I won't stop her." Though now she's wondering just how much Fionna knows. Like hell she's going to outright ask, though.

"Listen, you just eat your ice cream, and I'm going to go change since I'm probably going to hang out a while. Since I did come all this way here."

[fionna_time]

She'd just have to deal.

Not that she was going to be fooled by all of this. "Why would you wanna?"

Knowing? Not much. Understanding? She was more intuitive than people thought.

"Gonna. You change and have fun!"

[of_the_highest_caliber]

"Don't worry about it. It's nothing." Not bristling as much as she might normally, but now she was slowly becoming guarded. "...thanks, I guess." See? WITH WORDS, FIONNA.

Subaru gives her a nod, grabs the bag from around the handle of the cooler, and makes her way to a side room to change.
