003 💗 Keeping warm [video]

[ishisstrength]

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?

[loadme]

Not at all!

[Oh. Oh goodness this is happening.

She's getting a gift.]

Um, where would you like to meet?

[ishisstrength]

Do you mind coming to my home?

[Justine doesn't like the cold and doesn't want to leave...]

It's the first cottage, in Haven.

[loadme]

Okay! I'm not busy, so I can definitely be there in a few.

[She's awfully excited over this.]

[ishisstrength]

Good.

I'll be waiting. Just come in and close the door behind you. It'll be open.

[Justine wants to stay by the fire because she's cold.]

[loadme]

[She makes her way over, still feeling excited! Monika hadn't had too many chances to visit friends where they lived, so the novelty was still pretty fresh for her.

A couple of knocks on the door out of courtesy and she lets herself in.]

Hi Justine! I'm here.

[ishisstrength]

Over here.

[Monika will pass through the kitchen and front room towards a back family room. Justine sat in front of a low burning fire, bundled up in thick plush blankets. She smiles up at her friend and pats the space next to her.]

Come sit.

Your present is here.

[She indicates a small brown paper wrapped package. Inside Monika will find a pink scarf and hat.]

[loadme]

[Monika immediately can't help but notice how cozy that must seem. Sitting in front of an open flame on a cold day, bundled up in blankets... A good way to get through otherwise uncomfortable weather.

She makes her way in, takes off her shoes and sits next to Justine, immediately warming up thanks to the fire.

The package is unwrapped and Monika comes to find the contents inside. A scarf and hat, two perfectly useful if mundane items. But the fact that they're gifts makes them that much more special to her.]

Oh, I love them! Thank you so much!

[She puts her arms around Justine and leans against her]

Really. Thank you, for everything you're doing for me...

[ishisstrength]

[Justine returns the hug with a warm smile.]

I don't think I've done very much but you're welcome.

[She dislikes the cold and when Monika hugs her, she'll notice that Justine is very warm to the touch.

She's been sitting here for a while.]

Hopefully this will keep you warm while we have snow.

[loadme]

I can feel myself warming up already!

[A different kind of warmth, but warmth all the same. To add to that, she decided to put the scarf around her neck. It felt nice and even warmer!]

And that's not true.

You've already done so much for me. With these gifts and... before.

[But when she had herself that solid cry.]

I've never really had someone like you before.

[ishisstrength]

Well, I will be here for as long as I can.

[She smiles and then pulls her crotchet back into her lap.]

Stay and warm up, that is if you don't mind watching me work.

[ooc: you cool with fading to black of a nice evening of hanging out?]

[loadme]

I don't mind at all! I'd love to see what you do.

[ooc: sounds good to me.]
