Patrol Fourteen | Add Another Candle to the Cake

[queen_of_swords]

-1671 Nelson: Locked to Housemates-

[After rushing through the house with hands over her ears the night before and barricading herself in her room over night, Olivier wastes no time in approaching her housemates in the morning.]

Tell me to make breakfast.

[Strange coming from her, sure, but she has to figure out if the effects of the flower wore off or not.]

-Action: Flower Shop-

[Her first order of business at work is to make sure all those strange flowers are gone. They had to be the root of the problem. While she's checking the window display, one of the regular drone customers knocks on the window, earning a glare from her.]

It is open, you don't have to knock on the window.

[The drone laughs and shakes her head.] I just wanted to say happy birthday, Mrs. Coxen.

[It doesn't take long before Olivier realizes most of the drones will be giving her birthday greeting, and she decides to flee to the back of the store.]

-Phone: Filtered to Ilsa-

[She decides that it's best to stick to working in the back, but while she's back there, she remembers that they finally got in the last of Ilsa's requested plants. Maybe she can have some normal conversation without anyone interrupting her with birthday wishes.]

I managed to get a hold of those things on your list.

-Action: Around Town-

[Olivier walks with her head ducked down, trying to avoid making eye contacts with drones, but it seems one calls out to her no matter how fast she walks. Every now and then, she straightens up, knowing her odd behavior will cause comment from those who know her, but it's not long before she's avoiding eye contact and picking up her pace again. She may even be careless enough to bump into people.]

-Action: Underground Base-

[She sits at the head of the conference table with a cup of steaming coffee. Anyone who happens to have made their way to the base for any business may find her sipping said coffee and staring at a broken pocket watch on the table in front of her.]

[ooc: She is lost in thought, and a sword or gun may end up pointed at anyone who tries to sneak up on her.]

Comments

around town

[envyspites]

[Congratulations you have bumped into a girl with pitch-black hair and a pair of raven wings....]

What's got you down?

[queen_of_swords]

[She looks a bit taken aback, for a moment, then wears her usual frown.]

I'm not down, just in a hurry to get home.

Action - Around Town

[windows_hyliaedition]

Fi is still carrying about the letter that she got from Fran- apparently in search of the one who wrote it. At the same time, she can hardly just go asking around, so for the moment it merely sits in the bag she was given for 'high school'.

Standing in place and seemingly staring at nothing however is not likely leaving a good impression of who or what she is for the moment though, and every time someone passes she jerks her gaze upward with a monotone greeting.

You are not immune Olivier. "Hello." Fi don't do that it's... It's creepy.

[queen_of_swords]

[The hello stops her for a moment.]

Hi.

[windows_hyliaedition]

Stareeeeeeee... "You appear to be considerably agitated." Beat.

"Is it considered impolite to question the reason?" Uhhhhh...

✿ Flowershop

[ex_bloomnobly385]

[Yuyuko overheard the short exchange but couldn't figure out what had spooked the woman so. She follows to the back of the store curiously]

Is there a problem?

[queen_of_swords]

No, the drones just creep me out.

[Lies.]

[ex_bloomnobly385]

They are a little strange, yes, but surely they aren't that bad.

In fact it's rather fun to tell them absurd things and watch them react as if it were natural.

Of course being unnatural themselves there perception of what's natural and what isn't must be completely different.

Ah, sorry I'm getting off track. Is there anything you need?

Flower Shop: Phone

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade picks up his phone at home and asks to be connected to the flower shop. He wants to make sure Olivier is okay after the fiasco the day before, but thinks she probably saw quite enough of him in person yesterday.]

Re: Flower Shop: Phone

[queen_of_swords]

Annie's Flowers.

[She doesn't give her name, fearing it's a drone on the line.]

Re: Flower Shop: Phone

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"Hey, Olivier, it's Cade. I just wanted to make sure you were okay today, after all that happened yesterday."

Base

[onepointtwentyonewatts]

[Emmett's heading down to the base to finish her birthday present. Great scott he had to work fast, he had only heard the drones speaking of her birthday a few days ago! Brown sees Olivier sitting at the table and peering at something. He stands not far away and silent. She looks sad. Maybe he should at least let her know he's here, in which he does by clearing his throat]

[queen_of_swords]

[She slides the watch back into her pocket and looks up at him.]

Did you need something, Emmett?

Around town

[boostedfailure]

[There's an idiot waving.]

Hey! How's the birthday girl?!

[queen_of_swords]

[She rolls her eyes.]

Trying to get home before I'm attacked by drones with balloons and flowers, those women gossip too much.

Base

[thekingofkamenriders]

[Tsukasa will make his way down to the base, a bundle of things in his hand. He'll announce himself when he comes down, however.]

Olivier, you here? I've got something to show you.

[queen_of_swords]

[She shoves the watch in her pocket and stand up.]

In the conference area.

Phone

[ooeeooahah]

Wonderful, that's good timing - I just finished the rest of the garden this weekend.

[queen_of_swords]

I've got it all put away so no one else will sell it, just let me know when you want to pic it up.

around town

[answerer_sword]

...General?

[Bazett notices the approaching woman. For some reason, Olivier has her head down.]

Is there anything wrong?

Re: around town

[queen_of_swords]

[She looks around before stopping.]

No, nothing at all. I just need to get home and check something.

1671 Nelson;

[longevity]

[ Have a very confused look from Fran. ]

Make breakfast...?

Re: 1671 Nelson;

[queen_of_swords]

[She grins when there is no compulsion sending her to the kitchen.]

No, I don't think I want to, but there is a box of pastries from the bakery.

[Feel free to be even more confused by the smile glued to her face.]

Underground Base

[equinamity]

[Riza knows better than to sneak up on Major General Armstrong. That being said, she also knows it's important--polite--to remember important dates.]

[As such, she has come to the underground base toting a small box she got from the bakery she has learned not to do much baking on her own. After clearing her throat loudly at the door, she proceeds to the table and places the cupcake-containing-box in front of Olivier.]

Happy birthday, Major General.

[queen_of_swords]

[She doesn't bother to hide the watch, Riza probably won't ask about it, as long as she doesn't draw attention to it, that is.]

Thanks. You didn't have to get me anything though.

[She opens the box, and stares at the cupcake.]

I appreciate it.
