Patrol Nine | If You're Happy And You Know It...

[queen_of_swords]

[Action: Outside of Hospital]

[Once she's free of the factory and left outside of the hospital, she will make sure all of her fellow patients are okay on their own.]

If any of you need help, let me know, after all there's no reason to leave a man, woman, robot, uh, fellow citizen behind! Just let me know if I can assist you!

[Action: Around Town]

[She's explored town before, but she's never really gone into all of the shops and offices, so she makes that her goal for the morning. Because of the distance she'll need to cover, she's pulled out her dusty skates and can be found skating around town humming and singing to herself as she flits in and out of said locations. Don't worry, she won't knock you over, she's got the breaks down now, or does she? She may just be too absentminded to stop soon enough. And if she bowls you over, she'll be giggling. As a matter of fact, if she wasn't humming or singing, she was already giggling.]

[Phone]

[When she goes home to deposit her skates before work, she notices she hasn't seen Emmett all day long, so she'll pick up the phone.]

Has anyone seen Emmett Brown today? I wonder if he was in the factory and I missed him, maybe he's there now. Has anyone seen the factory where they're performing the operations? It vanished on me!

[After a bit of giggling, she changes the subject]

Have any of you gotten flowers lately? Flowers are so pretty, everyone should get flowers sometime. I'll tell you what, because I'm feeling so happy, I'd like everyone else to be happy. I'll give everyone who comes into the Flower Shop a free flower of their choice today!

[Action: Flower Shop]

[Yes, she's in a much happier mood than normal today. Employees and anyone who walks through the door will notice her perma-grin and fits of giggles as she works with the flowers.]

[Occasionally she will be re-locating her happy self to the cooler, because, for winter, boy is it hot sometimes.]

[Olney's Tavern]

[She's having a good day, and she's gonna celebrate with a few drinks! Go ahead, encourage her to drink more and see what happens. Or notice that she can't quite sit still, her foot is tapping to the faint music in the bar and she's humming along with the tune. Just be careful, if she drinks too much she might overheat and try discarding clothing.]

[ The beer arrives in front of Mart.]

Well in that case, have this beer, on me!

Something really good must've happened for a change.

[queen_of_swords]

[Her grin falters for a moment as she pushed past the happy and recalls him telling her that she did in fact throw him off a cliff before.]

I won't do it again, sorry, about that one time.

[And then, she giggles.]

Although, I'm sure the look on your face was priceless at first.

[boostedfailure]

Um, not so much from my point of view really.

Flower Shop

[yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk]

[Rikku, not knowing the Major General prior to this, sees nothing wrong with the woman's behavior. She mills around the shop a bit before approaching the giggling woman--the flowers are really pretty, if very different from the ones back home.]

I heard on the phone that you're giving away free flowers?

[queen_of_swords]

Ohm you heard my call! Yes, just let me know which one you like best! Although, it might be hard to choose, they're all so pretty today!

[queen_of_swords]

You're too kind!

[She takes a sip of the beer.]

It's just been a beautiful day. I love the bit of snow on the ground. Of course, I've always loved snow, it's so pretty!

And then so many people came by the shop for flowers, it was so nice.

[And now she's giggling to herself, thinking about all the pretty flowers and snow.]

[queen_of_swords]

[She giggles]

If it was anything like the face you're making now, then it was.

[And now she's trying to copy his expression, but erupts laughing after a moment or two.]

[boostedfailure]

You haven't been drinking for a while, have you?

[queen_of_swords]

Oh, no, this is only my third beer, and this isn't nearly as strong as what they have back home.

but it'll do for celebrating having such a wonderful day!

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Yeah that's cool.

[Another beer arrives for Mart. He pops the cap off with his teeth and drinks.]

Good things have been happening my way too. What with getting actual fighting lessons from actual fighters like you.

Also we need a new tank.

[boostedfailure]

Gotcha. So long as you're feeling OK... I guess..

[He still looks mildly creeped out]

[queen_of_swords]

I'm feeling much better than okay, I'm wonderful!

[She starts fanning herself.]

But it is starting to get warm in here.

[queen_of_swords]

[She laughs.]

Yes, we do need a new tank. I need some scrap metal, first though, then I can get Fullmetal to make a new tank. Or maybe I'll get one back!

[boostedfailure]

Er, want me to get you another drink then?

[queen_of_swords]

Oooh, that would be nice. Why would I ever throw such a nice guy off of a cliff?

[boostedfailure]

No clue, but it happened. Maybe you were having a bad day.

[He shakes his head and gets her another drink, peering around just to make sure there are no hidden cameras or anything]

[queen_of_swords]

It must have been a really bad day, I'm glad I can't remember it!

[boostedfailure]

You sure you are feeling OK?

Action ☆ Flower Shop

[priceofmagic]

[ Satou had heard Olivier's call a while back regarding a resistance. And she had shyly toddled around the flower shop back then, too scared to speak up and offer to help.

But she's visiting for different reasons today. Satou is on the look out for a place that isn't sickeningly depressing. And free flowers sounded nice. ]

Um... excuse me? May I come in? [ Permissions/Non-Permissions for empathy, if you have a moment? ]

[queen_of_swords]

I'm wonderful, why wouldn't I be?

[After a pause she stares at him.]

Oh, are you asking because you're not okay? Is there something you want to talk about?

[boostedfailure]

No, I've just never seen you like this. You almost look like you could giggle.

[queen_of_swords]

[She grins, repressing the urge to giggle.]

Oh, I could. I could also dance.

[queen_of_swords]

[Olivier looks up from where she's sitting in the flower cooler and nods.]

Of course, come in!

[She stands and waves the girl in her direction.]

I'm just feeling a bit hot right now.

[priceofmagic]

Hot? In the middle of winter?

[ Not that Satou is complaining. Olivier's happiness spree feels nice in comparison to the depression and pain lingering outside. She visibly sighs and relaxes as she closes the door behind her, too glad to have found relief to question how anyone could smile right now. ]

I guess that's better than being super cold, right?

[queen_of_swords]

[She nods.]

But I'm used to being cold, I live in the mountains back home, so I've always loved the snow. Although, I do have a wonderful coat in case it gets too cold.

Would you like a flower?
