[ *That* makes Ae-cha yelp, eyes wide and darting over everything she can see.] W - What's going on?! Why are they shooting at me? At- us?

000

The what of the who? Is that a band?!

[Ae-cha ducks her head gratefully and leads the way.] This was meant to be an instruction manual for a rice cooker, but I accidentally have ten instruction manuals for a rice cooker.

100

[Mmm, it's nice. It warms her, colouring her cheeks and making her smile.] Oh, sure. [Not expecting too much.]

100

Huh? Hey, what's the rush? And I ain't going anywhere!

100

"It's not MY fault! Stupid printer, adding an extra 0." Giving it a smack, but it's clear it hurts her hand more than the printer.

000

Ugh thank you so much. My table's this way...

100

... [Sipping at her drink, it's lovely.] Whatcha working on now?

100

If you carried half down the corridor I'd really owe you.

100

Apparently I was a baby last time I went. This place is. ... fine, y'know?

100

Waaaaaaaay too much. I'm definitely gonna drop it.

Thanks. [Smiling. Alicia seems cool.] It helps me get by, you know?

.... Mm. Hey, that's a good idea. If only there was some way to get down there and check.

[She snorts a laugh.] English and Korean. It can be fun. Sometimes.

Birds? Oh, guess so. So what did you mean devils? Has hell been hidden in the deep ocean all this time?

Eh, I'm a translator. It's cool. ... Sometimes, when it's a story or something. Not so much when it's a washing machine manual.

Grabbing the tequila out the cupboard, she might be able to spy some vodka at the back too. "I dunno... It's a bit early, and I barely know you." Pouring out two glasses. "Hey, I'm just gonna get changed, is that okay?" Leaving her glass totally unattended.

000

"Mmm... I do have some wine, tequila, some mixers..."

100

Web design sounds interesting. [Hmm... Chewing on her cheek.] In the zone huh? I get it.

100

Mm, total newbie I'm afraid. I'll need some hand holding.

000

Well, I don't have anything else to be doing, so why not?

100

Oh. [Curiouser and curiouser... Narrowing her eyes at the reflection in the window behind Alicia, to no avail.] Sounds cool.

100

Mm, a brief reprieve... [Crossing one leg over the other as she sits back.] Working on a Sunday?

100

[Peeking at her watch.] Well... I don't have anywhere to be for the next hour, I suppose... and it's safer in here than out there.

100

"Ae-cha. Alright, come in. Tea, coffee, something else? And then I gotta take these off."

100

Seems cool. I've never done anything like that before.

100

That telescope's meant for looking at the sea.

100

Eh? ... [A quick once over to make sure she doesn't look TOO dangerous.] Well... Okay, come in, just for a bit. Name first.

100

Ohh. Wow. That sounds pretty cool! And you get paid for that...?

100

Aw. Too bad, I already messaged him where he can shove it. So... this is me. I feel like I owe you for the coat, so do you want a cup of tea or some money or something?

100

Just about. Dumb drivers. [She returns the smile.] Ae-cha. [Looking over at the tablet.] Whatcha doin'?

100

That's what I'm SAYING. Look at me. Am I too ugly? Too annoying, too intense?
