You said you like to read romance, right? I found a story I just HAVE to share with you.
It's all about a lovelorn bunny girl trapped in a luxurious but overbearing family who falls for a mysterious and reserved ninja who has wandered into town. The girl has to sneak from her family to meet her love, she gets caught up in the ninja's troubled past!
[Elphelt uses the TELEPATHY to give Blake a mental image of the cover which I can't possibly photoshop shows a mysterious ninja embracing a bunny girl with pink hair who is clearly overcome with the vapors. Let's say it's called 'Ebony And a Bunny' because we're not dealing with something high class here.]
... I hope you've only lost your toothbrush today, Ruby.
[ You're not allowed to sleep in the same room as them if you haven't brushed your teeth in over 24 hours. ]
And yes, Blake. I mean, we're not usually able to hear anyone else's thoughts, right? If we start hearing them, let's at least be courteous and pretend we didn't.
OMG the scene where they first meet on the balcony!
"The night wind blew, and blew, but they were still, looking at each other as if transfixed. She could see nothing of his face but his eyes, the strange golden orbs that gazed arrestingly from the tear in his mask. She longed to reach out and rip it off, but he was like a vision; a phantom; she felt overwhelmingly that if she moved he would vanish in an instant. Between them passed no sound but the desperate call of crickets."
I love these descriptions. I can't wait to find out why he's in town. Her family are rich assholes but I hope he's not trying to murder them?? I'm so sick of stories where the heroes are all troubled because their family dies or whatever.
[Elphelt actually falls out of her seat in excitement hearing back from Blake. ]
I know, right?! Sorry, but I'm not giving you any spoilers, so for better or worse you'll need to find out for yourself, young lady. ...Except, oh my gosh, I want to talk about their first kiss, but--no, no spoilers. Saying even that much was too much! You just have to keep reading!
I sort of get why you bond with the bunny girl? The scene where she brings cookies for her classmates at their elite high school to try and convince them she's not just some stuck up snob...it really reminded me of the night I met you.
That part, really? Oh, gosh, I hadn't even thought about that. ...They didn't eat her cookies, either. I was thinking more about her dealing with the expectations of her overbearing family and the judgment she receives from others. You know, not being like everyone else. Whether because of her ears or wealth, people look at her odd. I imagine someone mysterious showing up and stealing my heart, too.
Oh. And the ears. Even if mine are fake.
But now that you mention it, the ninja is a bit like you. Cool! Quiet! Mysterious! Refuses cookies! Although I suppose you'd remind me of just about any ninja, really. Those all are requisites for being a ninja, after all.
I just don't trust food from strangers in this place! It does weird things to you. The ninja and the bunny have that in common...they come from such different backgrounds, but they're both alienated by the society around them. Even though the bunny has a lot of class privilege. I used to hate people like that, but now I think a lot of them are trapped by their circumstances, in their own way. Do you feel like people judge you a lot?
Sometimes. Both here and at home. I know I'm strange and not good at anything. But that's okay! I've met so many people that accept me that I can't be upset. Like the girl in the story, though, it would be nice for a chance to prove myself. Wouldn't that be great? Making friends with the people who used to judge you?
[ Somewhere not in this mental conference, Jaune is brushing his teeth as usual while he dances to some sick Casey Williams tracks playing from his Scroll.
Briefly, he wonders if his toothbrush had always been red. ]
[ It's just Jaune, so it's probably not...anything...too terrible? All right. She'll bite. She puts on her coat, finds a scarf to wind around her neck. ]
