4th Floor

[Kanaya had carried her sewing machine to the 4th floor to get some work done and to get her mind off of things. It's been a while since she let herself just sit and sew, take her mind off of things.]

[She threads her needle and readies her black fabric, the familiar action was calming and even though she had no particular plan in mind, she began]

[Until the needle snapped]

How unfortunate. It seems there is no relaxing here.


7th Floor

[It wasn't outside but it would do. The forest the floor below had set of an instinctual mental warning, a forest in a building was wrong and asking for troubles. While the pool wasn't much better, it seemed a tad safer.]

[Not that she was worried about her life. If she were to die, she died but prolonging her life may prove advantageous for others in the future]

[For now she took off her flats, placing them neatly by her side, pulled up her skirt a bit, and dipped her feet into the water.]

[In retrospect, she should have brought a book]

Comments

Pool; HI ROOMIE!

[fracta-anima.livejournal.com]

Minami, having been around a few days, had definitely seen Kanaya around the tower and in her room, even said hello to her a few times once the outright gawking and staring at her appearance stopped. Today she was exploring once again when she saw the other girl by the edge of the pool.

Yes, she stared for a few moments, but then decided she might as well get to know the other girl a bit better. With a smile on her face, a look that meant she was trying way too hard not to be weirded out by her strangeness, and a wave, she approached her by the edge of the pool.

"Hi! Kanaya, right?"

4th floor

[fifty]

Well, this place sucks.

[He sounds petulant, and is just walking in, so it takes a second before he sees the girl he's talking to.]

Hey, are you an alien?

7th Floor

[craaaaaaaazy8s.livejournal.com]

[Hope you weren't enjoying being dry, Kanaya. Because Vriska is totally sneaking up behind her and shoving her into the pool.

She'd been exploring the tower looking for exits and answers for the umpteenth time, but it didn't hurt to get a little sidetracked by shenanigans. And it was Kanaya. She liked coming up with excuses to bug her since they hadn't talked much during the game.]

Kanaya had noticed her staring, she got used to it during her time here. Luckily it didn't bother her much. She was calm unlike some of the others who would confront her about it.

She turns to Minami, "Correct, and you are Minami, another of my roommates," she says calmly.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[She looks up at him]

On the contrary I am a Troll.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[SPLASH]

[Kanaya is in the pool. And she's not happy about it.]

[She breaks the surface of the water with a scowl on her face]

Vriska!

[fifty]

Well I guess alien doesn't mean much here. What're you doing?

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[she motions to the sewing machine]

Sewing, although I'm not making anything in particular. Do you require anything? [she pauses] I would need to acquire another needle.

[fifty]

Not really, I guess, but I could help you look.

[He's kind of subdued, not that Kanaya would know that wasn't normal.]

[fracta-anima.livejournal.com]

Hey, at least Minami's making an effort about it. She can summon whole pantheons by shooting herself in the head. Someone being an alien might take work, but she's not going to let it phase her.

"That's right. I.... Well, I thought maybe we could hang out a bit? Get to know each other since we're going to be stuck here for a while."

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

She studies her face for a moment before patting the ground next to her, "As we are trapped here together and share a room together it would be wise to become acquaintances."

Maybe friends eventually, but that would be later.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[To her knowledge America is kind and calm. And she has no problem with that. In fact, she prefers it!]

[Poor Kanaya, she doesn't even know]

I re-purposed a needle form the medical ward but as you can see it proved to be an unsuccessful venture. Do you have another idea?

[fifty]

Well, you could ask for a needle, maybe someone had it in their trunk. Or maybe ask someone who works in the infirmary if they have thicker needles.

[fracta-anima.livejournal.com]

And Minami pulls off her shoes and sits next to her, dipping her feet in the pool beside her.

"Pretty much. So.... uhhh...."

Wow. Where to even start in a conversation like this? Humans were easy, but someone so completely inhuman?

Maybe if she thought of it a bit like talking to Igor, or Theo, or Pharos, it'd be easier to do.

"I like your hair. The style really suits you."

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

Instinctively she brought her hand to her hair, "I try to keep it functional, it also adds a sense of class I believe."

She smiles at her a bit, "Are you interested in fashion Minami? Where I am originally from I am the only who is."

[fracta-anima.livejournal.com]

"A little. I didn't have much money to buy them with, but I loved to look at fashion magazines with a few friends back home."

but then a bit of what she says hits her and she blinks.

"How can you be the only girl who's interested in clothes on your world?"

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

I would appreciate a sewing needle above a medical needle as I was using. It was difficult to make an incision on a needle to make it sewing-capable. I assume you do not have needles in your possession?

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

She sighs a bit, "It is not in our culture to be interested in such. I am a rare case in both that and my blood color, the only of its kind."

"I can make you an outfit if you would like, I have the fabric for it."

[fracta-anima.livejournal.com]

"You can sew?" Minami says, eyes wide and a big grin on her face, "Can you teach me sometime?"

The whole thing about blood color she can come back to in a bit. Sewing is something Minami's been wanting to learn for a while now.

4th Floor~

[missmarliest.livejournal.com]

[The lounge was interesting. It was nice to get a view, even if it was just a bunch of dark clouds. She's not quite comfortable going too close to the glass, though.

Oh hey it's a monstergirl using a sewing machine. Well. A monstergirl who WAS using a sewing machine...]

This is kind of an unlucky place, right? _{..or maybe it's just me.}

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

[Luckily for Kanaya, Rose had had the same idea, and had brought a book. It was rather small compared to her usual affair, yet still thick enough to intimidate the casual reader. This, to her, was her definition of 'light reading'. It seemed to be some sort of fantasy novel from the look of the title, and she had it tucked under her arm as she wandered towards the water.]

Ah... Kanaya.

[Her eyebrows arched in surprise-- pleasant surprise, that is.]

I see we had the same idea of how to occupy our time, did we? May I join you? [It was still so odd to see Kanaya in person. Almost surreal.]

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

"Yes I am very adept at sewing, it is a pleasurable hobby of mine," Kanaya gives her a very small smile, "I would not mind acting as a mentor as you seem rather willing to learn."

Kanaya thinks nothing of the blood color comment, she forgets that all humans have that mutant red blood.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[Kanaya didn't mind the glass. She would mind being called a monstergirl to her face, although she could just correct, calmly. Possibly a scary calmly.]

[She's not that scary. Really. Kinda.]

I wouldn't call a place that kidnapped me during an important time lucky by any stretch of the imagination. While our captors may believe us to be lucky, as they potentially saved us, I do not believe such.

[grimauxilatrix.livejournal.com]

[Rose had thought farther ahead it seems. The size of the book did not intimidate Kanaya in the least, on the contrary she was a tad intrigued and interested in the contents of such novel.]

[She looks up at the sound of her voice]

Hello, Rose. Please join me.

[she pats the ground next to her]

It seems you came more prepared than I have.

[salamancer.livejournal.com]

[And Rose is carefully settling down next to her, smoothing her dress and pulling her shoes off. She tests the temperature of the water with a toe, then slowly emerges them.]

I brought a few things from home, it appears. Not that its particularly necessary, due to the large library this tower possesses.
