open β birthday shenanigans [ nightwake ]
[ On the day of March 2nd, people may notice that there is a bouquet of flowers just sitting in front of one of the apartments.
And you might think: "oh, it's just a present for someone" and you'd be right. But the catch here is that this particular bouquet is comedically large. It blocks the hallways and even the door to the point where the recipient, Sakura herself, is struggling to get out of her own apartment.
She can't even see through to check if someone is attempting to pass by, so she just winds up calling out in her usual tone, as soft and gentle as ever, although she does try to be just a little louder: ]
Um...! Excuse me, is anybody there? I need to get out and I'm struggling a bitβ-
[ With the way she seems to be pushing against the door, making grunting noises. And sure, she probably could use the Class Card or even her magic to help her get out of the current situation, but that would mean potential property destruction, especially to the door frame and its hinges. ]
β option b.
[ After she's managed to actually get out of her predicament, Sakura decides that since she's received a present on her birthday... she might as well use it, right? Although she can't say that she has any actual plans when it comes to really celebrating.
It's been so long since she's been shopping... how long was it again?
She can't recall.
But she does want to get new clothes, so people might see her at some of the shops, looking at the varying outfits. ]
What should I get...? There's just so much to choose from!
[ It's a bit overwhelming, if you ask her. ]
A
There's a huge-ass bouquet wedged in the corridor! Hold up, I'll move it!
[That turns out to be easier said than done, and he's really tempted to chop it up with his sword, but it is a bouquet, and he doesn't want to risk the wrath of the (potentially equally huge) owner, so he ends up dragging it by the stems until he reaches the elevator area nearby. It's still in the way there, but at least people can squeeze past it! He returns to Sakura's door (perhaps she already peeked out once she heard the rustling move away from her).]
Seriously, who thought that was a good idea? Does this look like a building for giants?
no subject
[ Sakura frowns deeply. ]
I woke up and this was right outside my door. I wonder if there are any clues as to who this belongs to.
[ There is, in fact, a card inside the bouquet that says Happy Birthday! somewhere in it. ]
no subject
[He walks over to where he left the bouquet, eventually spotting the card and stretching to reach for it.]
"Happy Birthday"... nice gesture in theory, but who's going to have a vase that big?
no subject
[ ... ]
Is it March 2nd, by any chance...?
no subject
[He looks like he'll make the owner move it away personally...]
no subject
no subject
[Suddenly he's less pissed off?! Granted, she clearly isn't responsible for it being here. She couldn't even leave her room because of it!]
Who's it from? Is the card signed?
[He didn't look that closely.]
no subject
[ She goes to pick the card out and opens it to read it, half aloud and half to herself: ]
"Dear Miss Sakura"... mmhm--it's from the city? They give bouquets this big?
no subject
[The matter, not the bouquet.]
This is overkill and a hassle. Also how does the city know it's your birthday?! Did they steal all our personal data? I knew something was fishy here!
[He actually didn't suspect any foul play until that boy (Mukuro, who didn't tell him his name) sowed doubt in his mind... besides, isn't he going to congratulate her?! She's probably all alone here, it's her birthday, and he's just bitching!]
no subject
[ That much is harmless, at least to her. Even if this bouquet is a bit much. ]
no subject
[It might have happened on Avalon, at least.]
What do you want to do with it? We can't fit it through the door. Not as it is, at least.
[He figures they could take it apart and reassemble it in her room, but does she even want it around?]
b!
...right up until about six months ago. turns out getting hired for a clothes-and-toys shop could do wonders for your fashion sense - nothing like total immersion, after all. so when she sees a girl with purple hair combing through the shops, looking at various outfits, she can't help but butt in with- ]
Hey. [ her voice is low in pitch, a bit on the androgynous side, but her resonance and tone are undeniably feminine. then again, the whole "glowing feathery wings covered in fully-functional eyes" part might distract from her voice a bit. ] Do you need any help with your options?
no subject
That, at least, is something she's good at. ]
Umm... do you have any suggestions? There's just so much here that it's kind of hard to choose.
[ Basically: she isn't outright saying yes, but she isn't rejecting the help, either. ]
no subject
no subject
Do you have any friends with you here?
[Maybe, just maybe, he can still delegate the job to somebody else!]
no subject
no subject
...
[He sheathes the sword again and instead unties the bindings keeping the bouquet in shape.]
Let's carry the flowers inside in small batches.
[Maybe they can just spread them across a dozen or so vases?]
no subject
no subject
[He pauses... they should probably get a number of vases first, even just makeshift ones.]
Let me organise some glasses. I'll be right back.
[They can't both go because someone might take the bouquet, or pieces of it, and suddenly he's feeling pretty protective of it! They're lucky, though: After a relatively brief trip to the building management he returns with several actual vases. Given the circumstances he unscrupulously walks into Sakura's apartment and distributes them to his best aesthetic judgement, then helps her with the flowers. It takes a while, but eventually her room looks almost like a flower shop with all the small bouquets.]
Huh. This turned out pretty well, didn't it?
[Never mind that he totally decided over her head- what if she's have preferred the big bouquet? He could have reassembled it for her!]
no subject
[ Sakura sounds and looks rather impressed as he arranges all the flowers in her apartment. Sure, it may look like a flower shop in here, but Sakura certainly doesn't mind it as she claps with a bright smile. ]
That's amazing, Hijikata-san. It looks wonderful. I do hope that nobody who comes over to visit later on has flower allergies... Oh, well.
no subject
[So she isn't totally alone! Good!! Then he won't have to feel bad for leaving her - because that's what he's going to do, after all he has no idea what he could offer a teenage girl in terms of birthday activities (okay, so he always hangs out with Mukuro, who isn't much older than Sakura, but she's a meathead like him)!]
no subject
[ the devil takes an appraising look over sakura, from head to toe. it's not particularly leery, at least - more like being studied than being stared at. she steps back after a moment, biting her lip as she thinks. ]
Maybe... Something with a cinched waist? Not quite floor-length. [ a beat, and then- her eyes widen as she settles on an idea. (yes, all of the eyes.) ] Oh, wait, something with an empire waist! It'd make you a bit taller, and it'd look great on your figure...
[ sorry, sakura - it's venus's turn to start flipping through all the clothes. hopefully one of you is able to find something? ]
no subject
[ She trails off, laughing awkwardly. ]
no subject
[ she smiles - a bit soft, a bit bittersweet. that's a feeling she knows surprisingly well. ]
My parents would have disowned for looking at this kind of stuff. And... See this, right here? [ she reaches up, running her finger along the black line going from chin to chest. ] This was a mark for people who weren't allowed out on their own. I couldn't legally go in most stores without supervision, haha.
[ -aha! there. venus fishes out a longer dress, cinched about the waist, and holds it out. ]
Does something like this look nice? [ she laughs nervously. ] It, uh- it should be cheaper than getting a whole outfit right now, at least?
no subject
[ She doesn't say it, but the implications are there. Sakura herself doesn't like talking, much less thinking of all the awful memories of the past, so the idea of doing, even accidentally, digging up memories that may not exactly be pleasant doesn't feel good for her.
But her expression perks up slightly at the dress, violet eyes following the flow of the dress from top to bottom. ]
Oh, but the dress - I think it'd work. Should I go try it on first?
no subject
no subject
[He knows Rider!! Two of them, even! (Actually three; he just doesn't know that Ozymandias is one too.)]
Medusa? Or the dapper guy in white?
A
...What...happened?
[She hadn't heard anyone come by.]

[Without her he'd straight-up have been the first otherworlder to die.]
...
She's a good person.

no subject
[He looks around the room once more, satisfied. It looks colourful and inviting with the many flowers, and Sakura looks happier too... Hijikata feels a lot better knowing that Rider is going check on her (and her sister might too, so maybe things aren't too bad between them?).]
Well, then, I won't take up any more of your time. Enjoy your birthday, Sakura-chan.
[He may have bad manners, but he can be polite!! Sometimes. A little. If she still needs something from him he'll stay, but otherwise he hopes that she'll enjoy the day and treat herself to something nice. A lonely girl in a strange new world should at least have a good birthday!]
no subject
[ sakura's happiness is enough to snap venus out of whatever funk she might have been. she brightens - literally, the gentle radiance of her skin flowing even as they speak - and hands it over to the other girl. ]
Yeah! I think it'll look great on you??
[ honestly, she's kind of excited to see it? look. girl pretty, yes, but also she hasn't gotten to help pick something out for someone in a while. it's a nice feeling! ]
no subject
[ She'll go and hunt herself a dressing room and while it takes her a couple of minutes before eventually stepping out, twirling a bit. ]
How does it look?
no subject
-and then sakura comes out of the dressing room, and venus practically shines. ]
Oh my god? Oh my god. That looks so good on you!! [ oh thank fuck. she didn't make a terrible recommendation. ] I, um. I hope the neckline doesn't feel too bold? If it does you might be able to wear a scarf on top, or a cardigan, or- or something, though. It really looks nice!!
