Lupinus Lupinus is a Latin adjective for "wolf." People once believed that lupines devoured all of the nutrients from the soil, like a greedy wolf. Happiness, creativity, imagination
[out in the town today, aerith is back at the pyre and seems to be doing a deeper assessment of the posters for their four near overseers. but should nina happen to wander past or even if she's just nearby, aerith lifts her hand in a wave.]
Hey there. [hello, welcome!] I don't think I got your name from before. I'm Aerith.
[is nina's poster literally right there? yes. did aerith read it? also yes. but it's still nicer to do introductions yourselves.]
[congrats on the pen, i hope she uses it well. there's a smile because she will remember the name and the "nice to meet you" goes unsaid but remains implied.]
Thought I'd come back to try and learn more about our four new friends. [the way she says friends is very, very loose. the npcs do not want to be our friends, but they do want us alive. so that's something. she does gesture to said-posters though.] We only got a little bit of time yesterday.
They're all very... eccentric, that's for sure. But then again, I think all of us here are, in our own ways. [ they're all a bunch of weirdos. ] Anything stand out to you?
You think so? [they are all extreme weirdos, this is true. but she's looking over the posters a little more curiously as if giving them a thorough investigation.]
I think...some of their skills seem to stand out from the rest. [straight-up tapping "inviting bullying" on war's profile.] They don't sound all bad.
she nods at that and then can't help but laugh at the teasing. ]
Can't really deny that, but promise it's for the greater good, most of the time. [ winks. hehe. ] Though if it's to prompt a little bit of fun, that's alright too.
Could say bullying others is causing trouble too, especially the affectionate kind. [ teases right back! ]
Most of the time. [she does not seem like she's against that and might in fact encourage it.] Nothing wrong with that, I think.
[but this is a good point, too.]
I think that's just an exaggeration, you know? [no. the grin says she knows exactly what she's doing and she does it proudly.] It's not really bullying intentionally.
Glad we're on the same page. [ girls encouraging girls. clenches fist. ]
Is it? Is it really an exaggeration, Aerith? [ she smiles, knowing full well it's not, plus that grin gives her away. ] Oh I get what you mean by that, sometimes it really does just come naturally and you don't think about it much. Been there.
[ giggles at that. some people are just too easy to bully!! you can't always control it. ]
[ swallowed by the shadows and taken to a space from a different time and place...
you have your next target. a pompous old rich man who has done nothing but cause problems, making the life of poorer citizens a living hell. he's evil, in your eyes, and his dealings must be addressed. you get the group together and set out.
but what you don't expect is to run into a familiar face, one that you haven't seen in quite some time...
[I SUPPOSE BY DEFAULT THIS IS AFTER. ALL OF THAT. so after spying on the living and at some point after aerith is no longer a child, she's out and about! and she happens to bump into nina...perhaps we are back at the ita shop. she's looking at a very cute bag.]
Well...at least you have lots of inspiration now? [she sounds so blatantly amused and confused simultaneously. what even happened. they just sent very nice cupcakes?]
[ so much has happened and the week is still young. help.]
More than I did before for sure. [ nods and presses her hands together 🙏 ] That sure did go waaaay different than I think any of us expected. At least it helped take their minds off of things for a moment.
[ yes, because fire fleas and cupcakes that make you kiss and tell are much better than being depressed. she thinks it is, to be honest, and she’s even a little jealous. and speaking of itabags. ]
Oh, cute bag! Got one of your own, I do hope its flea free.
No kidding. I don't even know how it happened. As far as I know we were just sending them cupcakes. Guess the mail decided to have a mind of its own. [and it was much funnier for it, actually.]
I also hope it's flea-free! [help them.] I haven't decided what to fill it with yet, but it's kinda cute, right? We don't have bags like this where I'm from.

aerith can catch her just as she's taking a pen, which she will be keeping. ]
Oh! Hey, nice to see you again. [ she stands there awkwardly for a second, before fixing her self and smiling. ] Name's Nina.
What're you up to?
[ she is so polite and so pretty. an angel. ]

[ she reads that and can't help but giggle. ] Some people are just much more bulliable than others. I'll be rooting for them.
[ reads over the others. ]
Seems they all like to cause trouble in some way, nice to have something in common.
[ "starting a war" "making bets" "troublemaking" "ruining lives".... so many different flavors. ]
no subject
Sounds like you know a thing or two about causing trouble, too. [teasing, but prompting.]

Guess it's up to us if we decide to believe everything they have to say, isn't it?
