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?

text, after much fussing and granny pecking at keys.

[fieryimpulse]

A gift?

Yes. Where do you live?

[ishisstrength]

I live in the first cottage along the road in Haven.

It is easy to find.

[fieryimpulse]

When should I go by?

[ishisstrength]

Any time though it seems that Majima is taking me somewhere tomorrow.

[fieryimpulse]

I can come by in an hour?

And you tell that motherclucker hello for me.

He'll know what you mean.

[ishisstrength]

Majima? I hadn't realized you knew him.

But yes, an hour works.

[fieryimpulse]

Yeah. He turned into a giant rooster when we talked.

[And an hour later, she's knocking on the door.]

[ishisstrength]

[Justine is trying to get the imagine of Majima as a rooster out of her mind as she opens the door. She's wrapped in a thick blanket and Chandra will quickly realize that it is very warm inside of her house.

She doesn't really like the cold.]

Please come in. I have your gift here.

[She holds out the paper package and inside Chandra will find a red scarf and hat for her.]

[fieryimpulse]

[The temperature difference between inside and out is enough to catch Chandra's attention, yes. Though, mostly because it feels like normalizing the air around her. Her natural body temperature is nearly ten degrees above an ordinary person's after all.]

Hey!

[Oh! Hey, package.

She unwraps it carelessly, ripping in and blinking...]

Hey! This is really sweet! But why? This looks handmade.

[ishisstrength]

That's because it is.

[Her voice is steady and warm.]

I didn't want you to catch a cold. I'm sure you won't but this is the small way that I can help.

I hope you don't mind. You don't have to take it of you don't want too. It won't hurt my feelings. [Justine is very practical about these kinds of things.]

[fieryimpulse]

Oh. No I'll take it. It's very sweet.

[She doesn't really get cold exactly. But she understands the sentiment.]

You just...you made this? Wow.

[ishisstrength]

Yes. It's a very simple design but I hope that you like it. I've made a few for those I know.

[Her expression softens to a sheepish smile.]

They were actually my practice pieces so I could sell my work without as many imperfections. I think the rows on yours are a bit uneven. I hope you don't mind. [So maybe Justine isn't giving things away because she's entirely selfless. It just so happens that she'd needed to make scarfs for people to practice.]

I did choose the color for you. I thought red suits you.

[fieryimpulse]

I don't mind at all.

[She starts wrapping it around her neck with a flip and a flourish.]

Red totally is my color. Red, orange, yellow, anything warm.

[The colors of burning.]

You've got a good eye for that.

[ishisstrength]

Thank you.

[Justine's expression softens as the scarf is wrapped around Chandra's shoulders.]

As I thought, it suits you.

[fieryimpulse]

You're a gem, Justine.

[A real gem!]

I owe you one.

[ishisstrength]

[She gently shakes her head.]

Just stay warm.
