☠ 3rd Haunt ☠ - [Action | Voice]

[thatsnotcute]

[So this past week had been unkind to Perona. She'd been seen practically naked and transported to a manner of places, made a fool of herself, and was scared half to death again. She'd even been self quarantined to her apartment out of fear of burning up in the sunlight. So, now that the experiment's ended, she's going out at last to do some shopping and to actually enjoy the warmth of the sunshine. Maybe get some cake at the bakery, too.

Unfortunately, her shopping journey only nabs Perona a few simple striped shirts and some gorgeous heels (what a find, squeeee!! ♥♥♥) so she stops by the fountain to make a request in her journal. The boots were a great find, so she has an honest smile on her face as she speaks, which is rare in most cases.]

There are supposed to be custom tailors here, aren't there? I want to put in a request for something cute, and classy! A little dark, with some frills or lace... Ah, yes, a gown! I want a gown to dance in! And some matching gloves, too!

[Aaah...a dark gown - to dance around in the moonlight in a dark gown and sing a song. Even if there wasn't a castle around, Perona doesn't care. She deserves a good night for herself to have fun and let her hair down. In fact, that sounds like a wonderful idea, and she's already thinking on what to wear and sing and where to do it. The roof of her community housing building? Or the Battledome? Maybe even the ocean! Yes, yes, dancing along the ocean under the moon while singing a haunted song~!!! Yes, yes, that'd be perfect.

So, once it's dark, Perona leaves for the ocean with her parasol and journal in hand. Though she doesn't have a dark gown, the white sundress worn by most New Feathers that she kept for whatever reason since she came to Luceti (it was torn and stained a little, it fit the haunted feel she so dearly loves) serves well enough. Tossing her journal - which falls open and begins to record and parasol aside, Perona breathes in the salty air and removes her shoes. Mm, the cold sand felt nice, and the seafoam was pleasant, too. Why hadn't she done this before?]

OOOOOHOROHOROHORO~!
So, shall we start? ♥

[And so Perona sings and dances, well into the night. A few of her hollow ghosts join her after a while, which she conjures herself, dancing and swaying around their master, but the girl herself seems to be having fun at last.]

Evil flowers steadily bloom,
With an array of colorful doom!
Now the people speak of her without a second thought,
The daughter of evil received what she sought!

[And curtsy!]

[Oh hey. It's that girl who doesn't like trees.]

A gown? That shouldn't be too hard.

[There's no legs involved in a gown. She can do that no problem.]

[thatsnotcute]

[Oh, it's the mermaid! ...The green one. And she can make a gown?! Eee, that's wonderful! Perona claps her hands together in excited delight, holding her journal up on her lap as she sits on the edge of the fountain.]

Can you really do it?! With matching gloves as well? I can send you a design if that will help - I'm good at that, but I can't sew or stitch anything together for myself. Or you could surprise me! [Choose the latter, Keimi, Perona's insanely picky.] Are you really very good, I won't accept anything low quality!

[seakingbait]

[Eee so many questions. A tinge of red comes to her cheeks and her eyes dart away.]

I-I've never had anyone not like what I've made. And if you wanted, I'd always like c-customer input.

[Keimi can't help but feel super nervous around Perona. Generally her customers are her close friends. She's never really had to worry about them not liking what she's made before. Besides, if this girl is willing to blow up a tree for saying weird stuff, what will she do to her if she messes up this order?!]

[thatsnotcute]

[Oooh, never a complaint? That actually makes Perona beam - obviously the mermaid has some skill, if she's never had a single complaint. That does indeed take the edge off Perona's mind, and she kicks her heels against the back of the fountain happily. This is perfect, what luck to find a skilled tailor to make her a custom gown, just for her. This really is a great day!]

I can do that! I like things my way, and I'd be glad to help you make it perfect! If you need my measurements as well, mermaid-chan, I can stop by. Where can I find you?

[action]

[chibifirebird]

That's a neat song.

[Have a baby phoenix.]

May I dance with you? [At the moment he is trying to dance and sway with the ghosts but getting dizzy.]

[action]

[thatsnotcute]

[Omg, what is that even, what--it's so cute. Perona stops her dance to stare, and holds her hands up over her head to try and catch it, It almost looked like...someone...f-familiar.

...

Her luck just sucks, plain and simple.]

E-Eh, don't touch those! Come down, you can dance with me all you like, but don't touch my hollows! [Perona shoos them away with a wave of her hand and the ghosts float away a small distance, giving them both space.] Come here.

[action]

[chibifirebird]

[Lands on Perona's shoulder! He's too small and his Luceti wings are too big for him to fly really. A lot of it just jumping and flapping, and it's hard to control. Woes.]

Hello, yoi. What were you singing before?

[action]

[thatsnotcute]

[Tilting her head, and moving her hair, away from the tiny birdy, Perona takes a good look at him. It really was Marco, just...smaller, younger. How completely bizarre, Perona was so used to the older man, the first division commander of the strongest pirate crew on the Grand Line.]

I-It was a story. An accursed story, of a wicked princess made into a song! I love that song so much... It's one of my favorite songs! It ends so terribly... [Sigh. ♥]

[generalflirt]

[And in the clothing sore, as she is exploring some options in striped things or perhaps she she is finding this heels, he slips out from nowhere (okay he was behind a rack, not following her, but noticing as he as doing something else) with a pikachu on his head.

Cast's long off now, at least]

Peeeeerona-chan!

1/3

[thatsnotcute]

[Oh lord, this is not what she wanted to deal with today. Oh please, no, not right now, she was having such a good time being out and about and now she has to deal with the brown!Sanji. At least he remembered her name, but still, she's not exactly in the mood...to...]

2/3

[thatsnotcute]

[What the ever loving fuck is on his head.]

3/3

[thatsnotcute]

[IT'S SO CUTE OH MY GOD

I WANT IT.]

Aaaah~! How cute you are! What is that?! Oh, I don't care, it's so fluffy and pudgy and cuuute! Is it real? Can I pick it up and hug it, pleaaase?!

[generalflirt]

[Pudgy? Linda looks indignant a moment because gurl you did not call her pudgy. But yeah she sort of is. Species trait. But either way, Masaomi's grin gets a bit lopsided as he reaches an arm up to pat Linda to try to pacify her]

Eeeeh, that's up to her, isn't it?

[thatsnotcute]

[Perona doesn't take her eyes off the little electric rodent, though her rationale is clouded by her love of cute, fluffy animals. She doesn't see Linda's indignant scowl, and just wiggles with anticipation to pick the little creature up into her arms. Guh, it's just too cute!]

Oh please, oh please, may I pick you up? I've never seen anything cuter in such a very long time! You're such a fluffy little cutie-chaaan~! [Finally, she glances at Kida.] What is it? It looks like a rabbit!

[action]

[concasse]

[While Perona is out and about during the day, she might run across Sanji, who has lurked out of the restaurant (probably at the demand of his employees). He looks tired - exhausted, in fact - though at least not in bad spirits. A nap would probably do him some good, but instead he's already devising ways to sneak back into Seventh Heaven. He just about passes her without a glance, so lost in his own head.

Don't mind him if he's a little out-of-it, Perona. But then again, considering the last time he saw the girl was when she was clad only in a bathrobe... >_>]

[Action] - 1/3

[thatsnotcute]

[At first, Perona doesn't spy Sanji through her veil of heightened glee - she's busy prancing about in her new shoes, watching her feet more than where she's really going and grinning stupidly to herself. Oh god, oh man, oh god, they're so nice! And they fit like a glove, and look so good ,and are actually really comfortable, and--

Oof! Right into Sanji does she smack.]

[thatsnotcute]

Oi, watch where you're--

[action] - 3/3

[thatsnotcute]

[YOOOOOOOOUUU.....don't look very good. 8|a]

Mr. Cook?

[action]

[concasse]

[And here he'd thought he could get away with just a quick apology. The moment he notes it's Perona he's run into, the chef freezes in place, looking endlessly guilty]

Perona-chan! My apologies for bumping into you! [Please don't send anymore ghosts after him. ;; The sight alone would probably send him into a week-long, angsty coma.]

[weakahoshi]

[Shirahoshi's recently realized there's such things as stars, though she doesn't know what they're called. But they're pretty, and only come out when the world is dark and cold. Perona might run into her, sitting quietly on a still-warm rock, looking up into the sky with a dreamy sort of expression on her face.]

[thatsnotcute]

[It's after her song and dance that Perona had much of the same idea - to just sit and enjoy the moon, stars, and the sea. Though her idea of enjoying things is to leave her body behind in a dark patch of brush and trees and float around, carefree, as a ghost herself. She wafts above the waves without fear, doing loop the loops and twirls and--oh, a mermaid. The whiny, pink one!

Who was...in her teacup last time. Well. Hm.]

Are you supposed to be out of water for so long? [Hi, don't mind the floating girl right in your face.]

[weakahoshi]

Oh!

[Shirahoshi is quite startled to see Perona suddenly appear floating in the air in front of her.]

I didn't know you could fly! That's amazing!

[sailedfirst]

[Coming down from the mountain by the beach after a long day of training with Kipinn. The Wind spirit's fun to be around, but he's kinda exhausting to deal with. Almost like having a kid Luffy running around in circles around him again.

Sabo stops when he hears the singing and searches for it's source. And finds Perona floating around with her... wait, what are those exactly? Well whatever. He doesn't want to interrupt when she looks like she's having fun. Still, this might be a good practice...

There comes a sudden but soft breeze, and there's now a bunch of leaves dancing along with you, Perona. :>]

[thatsnotcute]

[O-Oh...how hauntingly beautiful! Perona twirls along with the spray of leaves, her hollows spinning around to follow suit. Her song finishes up her that little spin, dress and hair falling into place behind her, as she opens her eyes to see just where the pleasant effect spawned from. When she sees her Sabo there, Perona's face lights up even more than it already was and she drops to the sand to go over toward him. He hollows follow right along after her, smiling just like their master and hovering at her sides.]

Sabo-kun! Were you the one that created that wind just now?

[sailedfirst]

[Ah. She's coming over? ...Oh, yeah. He forgot to hide! Well, too late now. So he just rubs the back of his neck sheepishly.]

Sorry. Did it bother you?
