lobsterbox | Poly crosspost -> Post #52, video/action

[ action ]
[ Tyr's wandering around the square now and taking advantage of the lack of curses to look at the different stores. It's more or less just a leisurely walk, though. Eventually, he stops around building ten and posts to the network. ]

[ video ]
It was like this before a while ago, wasn't it? More than a week without any curses. [ He doesn't sound all that certain about it. ] It makes me wonder if the deities are saving their energy for something big to happen later...

...If they are, then I... [ He starts, but then thinks better of it. ] Nevermind.

[ And he turns the device off. ]

[ ooc: Livejournal post! Responding on either site is okay.

Please don't friend this journal. I might use a different one if Poly stays journal-based! ]

[ :3!! ]

[ They're far from being unhappy at the moment. He digs around and puts on a green t-shirt with some logo on the front that he actually did have to search for... And it feels so much better than his sweater! Which is folder under he the flat gift box wrapped in candycane-print paper that he also comes out with. ]

[♥!!]

[As far as can be! It's a good day already. Rita's in the kitchen, and she comes out now with a tray she found and two cups of tea with sugar and milk. Her eyes are pretty much immediately drawn to the wrapped box as she sets the tray down on the table.]

What's this?

From:

blackshadow

[ Moéderejanuary! Aww, she really did make drinks... He regards the tray for a just a second before looking back at her. ]

It's a gift. I got you one, too.

[ He holds it out to her. It was obviously wrapped by someone else with how neat it is. ]

It's not as great as that blastia, but...

From:

negativegate

[Hee, that's right! And Rita's expression lights up as she takes the gift from him. She doesn't even really register how neat the wrapping is.]

But it's for me. [And that pleases her quite a bit! She can't wait to find out what it is, so she starts tearing the paper off.]

From:

blackshadow

That's right.

[ It comes off easily, too! He watches her face anxiously as she opens it, his mouth presses into a thin smile. But beneath the paper is just a pain, white box.

And beneath that is plain, white tissue paper.

But beneath that is a sweater dress! It's light blue with white stripes crossing over the skirt and bottom of the sleeves. If she pulled it out, it'd come to a few inches above her knees. Which Tyr figured was Rita's preferred length. ]

From:

negativegate

[Huff, so much packaging! Like it's all there to tease her. She rips through it quickly, pausing for a second when she sees the dress, and her face shows obvious interest. This changes to a smile as she picks up the garment and holds it up. Stripes! Rita likes stripes.]

Hey--you have pretty good taste, after all. [She looks up at Tyr with a slight smirk, and then she smiles more sincerely.] It's nice.

From:

blackshadow

[ Packaging is just to tease her! But he's mostly glad that she likes it!! He doesn't know how much she likes stripes, but he figures she wears them enough that she shouldn't mind them.

Even if she was teasing him there, he still grins at the compliment. No-one ever tells him he has good taste! ]

I'm glad you like it... I thought it'd go with those stockings you got before, so... [ He got it for her! ]

From:

negativegate

[Because Tyr's a huge tease! And stripes are awesome.

And Rita...doesn't really get told she has good taste either, but she's very happy with this.]

Oh--yeah, you're right. You remember those. [She hadn't even thought of matching them with anything, but she does like the idea.] So now I'll have to wear them next time, huh?

From:

blackshadow

[ The story giftwrapper refused to put multiple layers of wrapping paper on...

Bad taste buddies... ]

[ Nodding! ] Yeah, I want to see how they look on your together. [ And he leans over to prepare his cup-! ] I actually just remembered those stockings when I saw the dress...

From:

negativegate

[najksndj was he disappointed?!

Heck yeah clashing friends...]

[She blinks, and then laughs.] That figures...

Anyway...Thanks. You'll see them later.

From:

blackshadow

[ He was! He was even willing to pay extra!

Asymmetry all the way. ]

[ He grins back at her before he goes to pick up the cup. ]

Whenever you want to try it... You can leave it here when we go out. You don't have anything else you want to do today, right?

From:

negativegate

[Money couldn't get him everything-!!

Aww yeah. Stripes and asymmetry~]

[She sets the dress back in the box to take with her later.] Only seeing you.

From:

blackshadow

[ He learned that lesson now!!

Best combo~ ]

[ He blushes when she says that. ] Now you're getting sappy on me...

From:

negativegate

[Next time, he'll have to do it himself!!

Her favourite!]

[And she smiles in return.] That wasn't sappy at all.

From:

blackshadow

[ He'll have to learn how! ;_;

Next time, he'll buy her something more clashing! ]

[ He laughs a little before taking a sip of his tea. Still hot... ] If you say so.

From:

negativegate

[He can do it!!

Even better-!]

[Grinning, she reaches down and spoons some sugar into her cup before she takes a sip.] Mmm...So you don't believe me?
