003 💗 Keeping warm [video]
Name: Justine
Date: July 9th
Format: Video
[Justine appears on the network with a pristine white scarf circling her throat and a pinky rosy hue brushing the tip of her nose. Her dark eyes are lovely and those who look close enough might see a brilliant dark emerald green circling her iris. Snow falls around her, thick fluffy flurries catching in her dark lashes. Her midnight hair is covered by a matching hat that's been woven with runes that Justine has yet to perfect.
She hadn't expected snow when she'd been feeling the onset of summer only a week or so before.]
Hello. [Her voice is soft and delicately sweet.] I would like to offer handmade scarfs and hats to those who need them. Mitten as well. None-cursed. I promise. [She has already had an awkward moment with an enchanted scarfs.] For purchase or borrowing.
Please let me know if you would like any. I can try and accommodate for claws and hooves as well.
CLOSE CR
(i.e. if she has spoken to you more than twice.)
I have a gift for you.
[Her voice is sweet though more excited than it had been during her announcement.]
Can you stop by?

just now o7
Hi.
[ He had a thicker overcoat on over his usual clothes, and he was careful to loose the snow off his boots before he came into the house. ]
Enjoyin' the snow?
\o/
She rises to her feet and grabs one of the larger packages from the couch.]
Not really. I was learning how to swim and now I have to wait for the ice to melt. [Justine might have enjoyed the change if she'd been given a warning but she'd had plans, plans that she now can't do.]
Here. This is for you. I hope you like it.
[Inside the package is a white scarf, hat and a pair of mittens, all of which happen to match the ones Justine had made for herself.]
no subject
[ Maybe Justine noticed the surprise in his expression when he realized what her gift was; the connotation of presents like these were a little different where and when he was from. But he smoothed it over quickly, gave her a quick smile to try and distract from the hint of color in his cheek. ]
Thanks, Justine. These must've taken forever to make.
[ He'd just draw the scarf out to give his hands something to do. ]
no subject
[She watches him a little too intently as he pulls the scarf out of its wrapping. She really wants him to like it.] Not forever. I had started it back when we first Bonded. I just hadn't expected the snow until now. [His is the only one that took a great deal of time for her to make.]
Um... let me show you.
[Justine takes one of the ends and searches before turning the end up so that Majima can look at it. It's embroidered with both of their names and next to it is a rune that he might recognize.] I know we can contact each other in many different ways but this rune will call me to you. Wherever you are, I'll be able to find you.
It's um... [Her cheeks blush a light rosy hue.] If you need me.
no subject
It's more'n all right. Just ain't used to people givin' me nice things, that's all.
[ And these particular handcrafted gifts in particular, but perhaps he could skip that part. He met her gaze for a moment as she explained the rune, as if silently drinking in that feeling, and the flush of color on her face.
If anything, this was even more dangerous...? ]
I...
I'll try not to get into too much trouble. But it is reassurin' to know you'll be there if I do. Do ya have a matchin' set, then?
no subject
Even if it's just protecting him from the cold.]
It's odd for me too.
[She's made a few scarfs but none like his.]
But I hope you like it.
no subject
[ Or perhaps more accurately, it was just really... unexpected to have someone looking out for him for once. Someone who gave a shit whether he lived or died, beyond maybe what they could use him for. ]
Plus, turns out it's just in season. Wait, does that mean we're havin' a present war? 'Cause ya kind of upped the stakes, there.
[ He was teasing, of course. ]
no subject
No present war. I had been working on this for a time but now I am selling them. Not anything like yours. [Only his has the runes on it.] But I didn't think it should wait if it can also keep you warm.
[Her head tilts to the side, midnight hair falling in graceful waves over her shoulders.]
You said you had something you wanted to?
[Assuming she's remembering correctly.]
no subject
[ He wrapped the scarf over his shoulder. ]
Actually, I was wonderin' if you'd be interested in exploring that cave from before. Smugha? Apparently, they're tryin' to clear it out. Probably to find out more about it.
Thought ya might have some of that adventurous spirit.
no subject
Yes. I'd like that. Do you mind if I change?
[Justine gestures to her blanket and the layers beneath.] You can help me if you'd like. [Though it probably won't help the processes go any faster.]
no subject
[ There was a lot more call for helping people get their clothes off than on, but if Justine was specifically requesting it: ]
Sure. You'll probably need to keep some layers on, though.
[ As regretful as that might be. ]
no subject
Well, I have to completely change out of this first. I don't think it's a good idea to walk through the woods in a long thick skirt. [Which is more like what she's wearing right now.] I can use heat runes. I'll be warm.
[She walks up to her room, pausing briefly to give Majima time to follow her.
Justine slowly takes off each layer of clothing, draping the lovely fabrics over the end of her bed before walking naked to her closet. She doesn't seem to mind that she has company or that the windows give anyone passing by on the street a good view of her.]
no subject
You're, ah. Makin' good use of the closet space, I see.
no subject
Yes. Clothing has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.
[Justine steps across her room in nothing but her underwear and stockings. She grabs a garter belt from a drawer and clips it around her center before attaching the ends to her stockings. When she'd finished that, Justine grabs something that looks like shorts and a black corset. They all have various runes sewn into them.]
Can you tie me up?
[She holds up the corset.]
This. I need it tight. It helps to have another set of hands. [The laces trail down her back and it'll be easier with Majima helping her.]
no subject
I'd love to tie ya up... but you'll have to let me know if it's too tight.
[ Long, surprisingly graceful fingers took up the lace and threaded them through the loops in her corset, almost like he'd done this kind of thing before. His fingertips brushed lightly against the smooth surface of her skin as he worked his way along her back, even carefully looping her hair over her shoulder when those dark curls got too close to tangling in along with them. ]
Ya seem right at home here.
no subject
You're doing perfect.
[His comment surprises her but Justine considers it and then nods.]
I have been known to adapt. Do you not feel at home?
[Once he's done she turns towards him, watching his expression while tying her hair behind her in a messy tangle of dark waves.]
no subject
[ He drew the ends of the laces up, tightening the sides of the corset as requested. ]
This place ain't much like home, and I get everyone's tryin' their best. But to be honest, mostly what I think about is what's goin' on back in Kamurocho.
My brother's still back there. At least, it is if they ain't moved him.
[ And then an elegant bow, tucking the ends of the laces in. ]
no subject
I understand. I do not know what's happening while we are here but... I do not think time passes the same or perhaps it does and this changes our futures entirely. [She sounds... uncertain.
Justine turns back towards him and smiles as she finishes belting tools into place and grabbing her short blade.] I wish I could help more.
I'm ready when you are. [She doesn't look like she's wearing enough clothes with her thighs still exposed but Majima can likely sense the thick heady magic that Justine has enchanted into her gear. Traveling with Majima is what she wants and she's been working hard to protect her skills to do just that.]
no subject
I'm good. It's not... somethin' that I need to get back to immediately.
In the meantime, let's go, huh?
[ He caught up Justine's gifts, tucking the scarf carefully away so it wouldn't dangle and get caught once they were in the caverns. ]
I'm looking forward to seein' how good you've gotten with that knife.
no subject
[Justine grabs her own hat and scarf, following behind Majima as they head from the house. Her scarf is wrapped around her neck despite the fact that she has other areas of skin exposed.]
I've been practicing. [Maybe enough to impress him.]
What is the goal of going into the caves anyway? Does the coven want something?
want to timeskip or sth?
So maybe we'll even help findin' out something about the weird dreams everyone keeps havin'. That'd be something, huh?
[ His smile broadened a little when she mentioned practice. Nice to know someone who was taking it so seriously. ]
Yeah!
[Justine slips her arm around his as they head towards the caverns.]
We have had... many of those dreams. I wonder if that is how this world is connected to all the others.
no subject
Majima glanced at Justine, then started towards the guy. ]
Justine, how's your healin'?
no subject
It isn't bad but use this first.
It will help.
[Justine closes the distance between them and the stranger and rests her palm lightly on the man's shoulder.] Do you mind telling us what happened? [Her voice is kind and warm, causing the man to stammer a little bit.]
no subject
"Oh... w-we.. we were attacked by a shade, miss," said the man, looking a little taken aback. "A terrible beast, it was. I suppose we should have waited until there were more of us before we started off with the supplies. Thank you very much." ]
A Shade, huh? What happened to it?
[ "I think it disappeared back into the caves. Some kind of chimera, I think..." ]
