A Tea Party for Merah

[Harri-chan]

Elliot had been busy. He'd spent the last couple of hours cleaning his tiny apartment, although there was still plenty of mess. A large TV with a few video game consoles plugged into it was only rivaled for size by the sofa opposite. Piles of comics were stacked up all around the room, which had pale blue carpet and white walls. Clothes were everywhere, including a couple of pairs of jeans and t-shirts, but then... sun dresses, aprons... and about fifteen different kinds of school girl uniforms that looked about the right size for a young teenager. In one corner of the room was a microwave, and on top of them, several racks of tests tubes filled with liquids, and squeezed in alongside them, a purse! The coffee table between the TV and the sofa had several plates filled with cup cakes on, bags of marshmallows, candy bars, bowls of jelly beans, several boxes of soda cans, and a couple of items wrapped in gift paper.

While waiting for Merah's arrival, he was sprawled on the couch, playing some video game that involved scantily clad females fighting eachother, wearing a pair of loose jeans and a green t-shirt with a red and white guitar on the chest.

Merah falls a hastily drawn map through the literal maze that is Muffinville, she manages to navigate it all by luck, skill, or maybe fate... around here it truly is hard to tell. She creens her small head up and gazes at the top floor of the tall apartment building before her, "...so this is where he lives..." With that the girl disappears into the front door... and minutes later has exited the elevator and stands before Elliot's door. Taking a deep breath... looking oddly nervous... she picks up her tiny hand and rap-a-tap-taps on Elliot's door.

[Harri-chan]

Elliot leapt up and raced to the door. At first his line of sight went right over her head, before he noticed her. "Merah!", he grinned, and reached to take her hand and pull her inside the cramped apartment, and closed the door. "I was a bit worried you weren't going to be able to make it. I spent hours cleaning up too", he said, entirely without sarcasm as he proudly looked around the clothes-strewn room. "Welcome to my place!".

[Vomica]

The girl frowns as Elliot does what is akin to a double take. She gives a squeak as her hand is taken, and then replies "...it's me! I'm here!"

Once inside, she peers around at the disheveled looking abode. The girl eyes the clothing for a moment, then peeks up at the man "...you have rather interesting decor. Huh~?" She giggles a bit. ...then says, "...it's a really charming place!"

[Harri-chan]

"Are you hungry?", he asked, ruffling her hair before heading over to the couch, and pulled a stack of DVDs about cartoon Princesses from the floor and held them out to her. "You like any of these? I thought if you when I saw them. Uh... I mean saw them in the store... I've not watched them or anything!". Pushing a pile of uniforms aside, he patted the couch.

[Vomica]

Merah head tilts a bit, and huhs to herself. Taking a step forward, she looks the man up and down "...you... ...that time you spent in pigtails really got to you... ...didn't it?" The teenager frowns slghtly.

[Harri-chan]

"What are you talking about? Nothing got to me. I bought these for you... I didn't really have much here to keep a girl your age entertained. Don't you like them?", he asked, looking a little worried as he set the pile down on the coffee table. His cheeks went a little red, "What do you mean... time in pigtails?".

[Vomica]

Merah goes a bright bright red at that, she wiggles a bit in her outfit. She's young... but she's not so young that she watches Disney cartoons. She umms shyly, and tries to change the subject "...yeah. You know... when you came to my lab... and..."

[Harri-chan]

"Oh, right, yeah that... ", he said, as if there'd been more than just the one occasion 'in pigtails'. Blushing still, he pushed the pile of movies across the table. "Okay, so I messed up with those. What kind of stuff do you do to have fun at home?", he asked, picking up a cupcake, and bit into it as he watched her intently.

[Vomica]

Merah snags one of the cupcakes for herself, and says "...well. Other then hanging out with my sisters... we have the arcade in the restaurant... and the pool... both of those are really fun..." She nibbles a bit, "Really though I just go and hang out with my friends alot! ...when not at my lab or City Hall..."

[Harri-chan]

"I can't remember the last time I went to a swimming pool. I don't think I even have swim shorts anymore", he shrugged, "... but I spend half my life in the arcade. What are your favourite games? I bet you couldn't beat me at DDR", he grinned. "You have a lot of sisters, right? Got any brothers?".

[Vomica]

Merah blinks once at Elliot, "...brothers? Well. No. Not... well not really. I know a couple of my sisters used to be boys..." She trails off a bit, "...and before I stumbled into this world I did have a few siblings... but I didn't know them at all really."
