Patrol Fourteen | Add Another Candle to the Cake

-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.]

You don't.

But I could make you a new life. How do you feel about being the daughter of a sculptor who defected from her family to pursue her dreams of becoming a master of jujitsu while searching for her long-lost uncle?

You seem like the fighting type.

[queen_of_swords]

I happen to like my life, I already get to be a fighter.

[ex_bloomnobly385]

It's only as a precaution.

You know, just in case.

[queen_of_swords]

Well, I'll keep you in mind in case I come across anyone who wants A new life.

[ex_bloomnobly385]

It's not a service I offer to just anyone.

But if they ask for me specifically I suppose I couldn't refuse.

[queen_of_swords]

[Now this confuses her.]

Oh? Why do you offer it to me then?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

Because giving a new life to someone is a very serious matter and you seem like a very serious person.

[queen_of_swords]

[She nods.]

That does make sense. Do people take you up on the offer frequently?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

Not really, but I seldom make them.

Others are normally doing things for me rather than me doing things for others.

[queen_of_swords]

The ones that do, do they enjoy their new lives? And what do people normally do for you?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

I wouldn't know since I've never given a new life to anyone before. If I have, I surely don't remember them. Maybe I gave them a life without me in it.

And it's just normal gardening and house-keeping duties. Cooking, cleaning, body-guard work, stealing spring. You know, the usual.

[queen_of_swords]

So no one has ever taken you up on the offer? I would think there are plenty of people who want a different life.

Do you use some kind of magic on them?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

Well, like I said it's not one I really make. People are normally pretty content to just use what they have and I don't know anyone who's contracted amnesia. Or at least, if they did I didn't notice.

I suppose I could use my power to give them a new life. Although it wouldn't really be a 'life' as such.

[queen_of_swords]

I imagine it really wouldn't, just a different one. I'll just keep you in mind for if anyone contracts amnesia, then.

[ex_bloomnobly385]

Oh, well you don't have to. It all depends on if I'm still feeling generous.

[queen_of_swords]

Understandable.

I'm Olivier Armstrong, and you are?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

Yuyuko Saigyouji. It's a pleasure.
