WHO: Aunt Cass and YOU
WHERE: Heropa #16 + around town
WHEN: 6/04, and the following week
WHAT: Cass is going around greeting roommates and neighbors with baked goods and trying to destress by shopping and finding coffee shops
WARNINGS: none for now!
[1; the first day, at a GROCERY STORE]
[She did get told this was a war, so she's not quite sure whether she's surprised by all the tense paranoia and anger she's been dodging all day, but if this is a constant then it's sure going to be stressful living here. She can already feel it building up, but unfortunately the house she was dumped in isn't attached to a café, and if it's not attached to a café she doesn't have immediate access to sweet, savory, soul-healing cupcakes. Nor did she find enough ingredients in the kitchen to make them herself (besides, she didn't want to use ones that didn't belong to her). And while that's horrible, she was at least given enough to hold up until her first paycheck for that cat website.
The first thing she grabbed at the store was one of the reusable shopping bags they were selling on some racks near the entrance. Then the rest is easy. She doesn't need a list to know what she needs to buy, but she only hesitates a little to grab a box of gummy bears along with them. It's not long before her shopping basket is heavy and digging into her arm, and the shopping bags, once they're all packed and she's rung up, aren't any easier on her either. Gosh, maybe she over did the buying?]
Ugh, no, it'll be fine, [she grumbles, then hops a little to hoist the bag onto her shoulder better. Hopefully she didn't smack you with the corner of a milk carton at the bottom when she did.] It's only a short walk!
[Perhaps you care to help?]
[2; soon after, at HEROPA #16 - the kitchen]
[No matter, she gets that stuff home safely and the kitchen is stocked, various things in there labeled 'HOUSEMATES - FEEL FREE TO USE! :)' in neat handwriting if any of them care to look. And Cass is in there, too, if you can spot her behind the counter that is, crouched by the oven door and peeking in to check on the muffins inside. What, didn't you get drawn in here by the smell of them? They're blueberry.
Maybe you speak up, maybe you don't. If you do, she'll look over her shoulder in surprise. Or maybe you don't, and she only notices you when she takes the muffins out of the oven and turns to place them on the counter. Either way, her expression in the same: it brightens, a smile splitting her face as she steps over across the kitchen toward you.]
Hey! [She chirps the greeting, looking nothing short of absolutely delighted to meet you.] I didn't know you were there. Hi, my name is Cass, do you live here too?
[3; also at HEROPA, houses neighboring #16]
[There are more than enough muffins for everyone. Or enough for her neighbors, at least. For anybody living on the anywhere close to #16, they'll be getting a knock on their door. Should they open it, Cass stands there with a basket of muffins in her hands, smiling bright.]
Greetings! Hi, I'm Cass -- I just got moved into number 16. I thought I'd stop by to say hello, would you like some muffins?
[4; likewise, at HEROPA #16; closed to Tadashi and Hiro]
[But at the end of the day, later in the afternoon as it turns into evening, Cass is back at home again. This time she's on the porch, Mochi curled up on her lap as he pets and scratches his head absently. She busied herself and acquainted with some people, and that's fine. Overall, the day was fine. But now that she's out of things to do, the worries are creeping up.
Florida. Of all the places, Florida. There was a comfort in knowing she didn't get thrown out of the country or anything, but at the same time, this America is different from the one she knows. So maybe she's actually been thrown into another dimension. They sure made it sound that way, and if that were the case then it wouldn't really matter if she were in the US or Canada or even Japan. In any case, she was far away from home, and she has no idea what's going on with Hiro. For all she knew, she was alone here, and that's... scary. In ten years, no matter who she lost she was never alone, and she tugs Mochi closer to her as she wishes she bought a pack of cigarettes or something while she was out. But no, she quit that long ago didn't she? She threw them all out and cleaned up the house thoroughly so Hiro and Tadashi could grow up in a clean home. Maybe she should have brought out a muffin to chew on out here.
She sighs, running a hand through her hair. All this thinking and stressing -- she hasn't done it in a long time, and she really, really wishes she could go back to her café. Maybe she should apply for a job at one. That would be a lot more distracting than sitting at a desk looking at cat pictures all day.]
[5; any other day, at a COFFEE SHOP]
[After the adventurous first day, Cass ventures out again, this time just to find a place to relax and get to know what the city is really like. There's no way all that anger can be a status quo, right? She hopes not. Just what could she have been brought into this place for anyway? She's no soldier. She's no fighter, or a researcher, or even a hero like those people that have been showing up on the news lately. But then again, even those heroes...
She shakes her head and smiles at the barista as they call her name and hand her her drink, not forgetting to thank them and making sure she didn't forget to shove some money in the tip jar before turning to find a seat. It's busy in here, so she can't find an empty table, but she does spot a chair right over there... with YOU!
She meanders over, squeezing between chairs full of studying college students and past a pair of old men playing chess. It takes a minute, but she manages to reach the table with the empty-looking chair and she taps on it to try to get the attention of the person already sitting there.] Hi. Would you mind if I sat here? It's full everywhere else.

[He sets down the slim book next to his drink which quite possibly is the sweetest most fruity drink this cafe sells, and looks over to her.]
[A studying, nearly bored gaze.]
[-Before he gestures his hand. Sure, sit down.]
[OOC: Oh right. Art by gyodragon on tumblr.]
no subject
Thanks, you're a pal. I'm Cass, by the way.
no subject
Cass.
[He'll smile finally, looking her over. Not the sort he usually bides his time with, but perhaps there's more than meets the eye? He doesn't really like being too quick with his Power Empathy anymore, he's been growing strangely reliant on it due to his own impatience... So he'll opt against it for now.]
[Besides, is she... even an imPort? A glance to her wrist, seeing if he gets any hint of a tattoo, even in the light of the cafe.]
I'm always open to a new face. [Especially cute ones, and actually, she is rather cute, his smile grows a little more genuine.] Though I suppose most here are, I haven't been to this cafe before.
no subject
It's your first time too, then? Me too, actually -- I just got here the other day.
no subject
-"Here"?
no subject
I've got to say, 'teleportation' wasn't on my bucket list.
no subject
I'd be interested in seeing the bucketlist with it on it. Though you might as well pencil it in and check it off?
no subject
[Short, amused, and not entirely 'lady-like' but not unpleasant, either. She sips her coffee even while she continues to move her hand, clicking on the back of an invisible pen and writing something on an invisible notepad, ending the charade with a dramatic swipe -- checked!]
There. One down, more to go! Now tell me, stranger, can I ask you your name?
no subject
You can.
[A small head tilt, lifting his drink.]
no subject
What's your name?
no subject
Hisoka.
[Oh right, isn't he sooo mysterious?]
no subject
Well, Hisoka, it's very nice to meet you. I'm guessing you're one of the -- what, imPorts, too?
no subject
no subject
Anyway, so. [She leans in, Very Seriously.] Who's that guy on the cover of your magazine?
no subject
My boyfriend.
[Hear how proud he is? So proud. Not that Chrollo's his 'boyfriend'. But then, he really has no title.]
no subject
No way. Let me see!
[She's excited, all right. Look at them! She can hardly see the model boyfriend's face but would you really need to with that body? She's already leaning over to take a closer look at the picture.]
no subject
no subject
Wow, look at that! [As it is, she's holding the magazine in front of her like a parent looking at her child's A+] That must be so exciting, seeing your boyfriend on the cover of a magazine like this. Are there any photos with his face?
no subject
have any more personal photos of Chrollo on it. The thought is mildly upsetting.]
I only have images of previous adds of his. And this magazine- [He'll pull it back, opening it again to an older add of Chrollo's. A smirk, chuckling to himself.]
He has a certain aesthetic. He's much better in person.
no subject
How long have you two been together?
no subject
[He.... Will have to ask about getting a photo of him. Just for himself...]
It's hard to say. Since only recently? But we've been 'together' for some months now. [A smirk.]
And I've been chasing him for years.
[As in, chasing him to fight and kill him. But that might as well be the same thing. He's just... Shifted from wanting a 'fling' to wanting something more dedicated.]
no subject
[Is she really reaching across the table to pat his arm? Yes she is. She's so excited -- there's rarely anything more exciting than listening to somebody's happy love story! Aside from your favorite nephews getting into their dream schools and being happy, of course. But UGH.]
That must be so great, that's so exciting!
no subject
intrigued.]
[Did she just touch him?]
[And she's so happy for him. It doesn't seem like she's being stupid or naive either, just... nice.]
[He leans his chin on a hand again, definitely giving her more attention than he has been now.]
It is great~! Thank you. [ Cheery for a moment. A glance down after, smiling a little wider to himself for a moment before looking to her again.] I'm sure you'll see him sometime. Ah, on various magazines, perhaps on a billboard, or even television. [Head tilt.]
Have you found out if you have anyone here yet?
no subject
Now that you've shown me, I'll probably recognize and see him even more. [She means that, more than saying so just as a pleasantry. She does like to look through magazines every so often, and if there's a familiar face she never misses it. Hisoka's boyfriend just got one more person looking out for him now. Eee.
And she's nodding, her eyes brightening at the question. She was worried at first about her boys being here, but she'll never try to deny how happy she is to have them with her. It would have been terribly lonely otherwise.] Mhm. We ran into each other my first day -- my family. They've been here for a while now.
no subject
[She'll quickly become aware of how 'childlike' he is though. Mostly children? Yes, but sometimes adults don't really 'make it' to adulthood in the same way as others.]
I'll have to let him know he got another fan.
[A smile, crossing his arms on the table and leaning a little. Not that one more meant anything really, buuuut, he's definitely on the side of 'god daaaamn' when it comes to Chrollo. He's quick to recognize that face anywhere. Decked out in the latest mall goth attire or not.]
You're family? Even luckier. I only know of a few here that can say the same.
