Won't you be my neighbor?

[oujomerchant]

Who: Alouette, Recette, and Keigo (and possibly Yosuke)
When: September 5th, 7:41pm
Where: Tower Apartments, 7th Floor
Summary: Two girls are selling girl scout cookies! Well.. No. No, not really. Just being good neighbors. Technically. 
Warnings: None.

[Alouette had returned home from the magic shop and was really surprised to have run into Recette when she passed by the diamond on the way back to the Apartments. Naturally she was excited to see a familiar face, and naturally she was completely tsun about it. The problems started to arise, however, when Recette starting asking questions that the blonde simply couldn't answer.

'I'll explain later' would have to do as an answer. Eventually evening fell, though, and rather than be stuck with the questions, decided to push them upon someone else. Surely someone in the apartment would have an idea what's going on! And that's when the neighbors next door came into play. Also, she didn't really enjoy having noodles for dinner, that was pretty humiliating. Maybe they'd have something better too.]

Let us pay a visit to our neighbors, shall we?

[Alouette suggested, bringing us to now in which she left Recette to do the knocking upon door 706. She also stood behind the brunette, just in case said neighbors were plebs. Recette is far more fluent in plebeian than herself!]

Keigo couldn't keep up. Just when he thought he was getting a sense of what she was trying to tell him, her speech veered off in a completely different direction. "It's the Core's fault!" The answer came to him quickly enough. It was his standard answer to any complaints about being in Siren's Port. "And I don't think I have any-

Suddenly, Yosuke was talking in his ear and he twitched away from him. It was the truth of the statement that hurt most of all. "Shut up!"

It was probably not the best thing to yell at the two visitors standing in his doorway.

"N-not you! I was talking to him!" He flung his arm behind him to point at his roommate, and if he hit Yosuke in the process, it was only what he deserved.

"Lady Alouette?" Keigo was having trouble keeping up again. She didn't look like any idea he had of ladies.

[capitalism_ho]

The little brunette doesn't seem offended with Alouette's snobby way of treating her. Maybe she was just used to it. It was how it had been since the two met, and it was unlikely that the relationship between the two would change merely because of a minor little thing like being sent to another dimension.

"But I never got to have candy back home! Even when I had some, Tear was always like 'Recette, you can't eat the profits, no matter how much you want to!' and then she'd put it back on the shelves. I'm a growing girl, candy is entirely necessary for me! But you are right that we should introduce ourselves. My full name is Recette Antoinette Elegrette de Delicious Sweets Lemongrass." She says it with a straight face. Who knows if she's actually serious or not?

Her face goes from shocked, to confused, and right back to cheery over the course of a second or two when it seems as if she'd just been told to keep her mouth shut.

"Oh good. I was sad when I thought we might have mean people as neighbors, but if you weren't talking to us, then I guess its fine. So right, everything is the fault of the 'Core'? Is that like an apple core or something? I think someone might have mentioned something like that before, but I was sort of confused and also hungry. I was in such a rush this morning I forgot to eat breakfast."

Oh shit, sorry! Notif fail. Lorie, flick me in the ear next time! My bad, ladies.

"Ow!" Yosuke flicks Keigo in the ear in retaliation, then smiles pleasantly at the girls again. "Recette-chan, sure. And Oujo-chan, again. Hello. I'm Hanamura Yosuke, and the rude one is Asano Keigo."

He winks, after gleefully mangling the keigo in a way that he'd never get away with at home. In this case only Keigo -er, the human Keigo- would get the joke, anyway.

Alouette gave Recette such a flat-eyed look, both annoyed and stunned. Such an absurd name! The only fitting response she can come up with is, "NNgh, you and that seedy fool are going to get along just fine it seems.." then louder, "As if you were ever a noble! And I told you it's not like an apple, pay attention!"

Her cheeks suddenly darkened, realizing that she had lost her composure. She tried to brush it off with an embarrassed laugh. And 'Oujo-chan'? Well that's a good way to get on her good side, and her eyes light up in Yosuke's direction, "And I shall converse with the polite gentleman.. Might we come in for a while?"

No one person should have that many names. "I'll give you candy if we have any." Maybe he could use it as an excuse to leave and go to the nearest convenience store if their visit got too bizarre.

"Ow! I'm not being rude! I was surprised." Surprised about things that would be rude if they could read his mind. "You're the one who's being rude!" The worst thing about it was that it was a kind of rude he couldn't even point out without explaining it all. After the apple core comment, Keigo didn't have much faith that he could easily teach them the subtleties of the Japanese language.

He didn't know if he should be happy or annoyed that she only wanted to talk to Yosuke now. "You can come in if you really want."
