Who: Leanne (regives) & various
What: Your girl's a fugitive on the run.
When: The first of October and the days following!
Where: All around Olympia.
Warning(s): None... for now.


a.)

[ A situation going from bad to worse should be relatively familiar to Leanne, but that doesn't save her from the overwhelming amount of surprise that hits her when news of the explosion finally surfaces. She of course experiences concern for who may be close to the blast, and then is immediately taken aback when the announcement that included her name also rings through.

Undoubtedly there's an explanation that needs to be made. But given her wavering trust there's no way for her to turn herself in, especially when she's being accused for a crime she didn't commit.

Though her luck continues to be a distant thing as the podcast is made when she's trying to make herself back to her apartment. Taking the back streets in hopes of avoiding those who are fully prepared to round up those accused without hesitation, she knows a little silver is enough to motivate anybody. So when she's peering around the next corner and makes blatant eye contact with another person she immediately shrinks back. Way to go, girl, hopefully they didn't notice? But if they did... maybe if she acts normal then they could go on their way without there being an unnecessary bump in the road.

Or not. She's a little glad she left the house with better shoes to run in today. ]

b.)

[ So are you trying to help her get from point A to point B without getting noticed? Great, you're a pal, and Leanne's got the greatest idea known to man: by acting like your terribly non-suspicious girlfriend! With an oversize jacket on her shoulders with the hood pulled up on top of her head she's pretty much the definition of ominous. And while she wouldn't say that she is some sort of award winning actress she does at least try to make the plan of her pretending to be your sick significant other work somehow.

Leanne keeps a hand firmly around the other person's arm. Holding onto them tightly as a heavy weight of anxiety rests on her shoulders. ]

I'm kinda surprised that this is working. [ Oh! Someone's looking, she pretends to cough. ] But I'm glad... sorry for dragging you into this.

Thank you! Come back soon.

[ When given many suggestions in which she could help the community Leanne takes the opportunity to do everything she can, so she doesn't look the other way when she learns of a shopkeeper whose daughter fell into the hands of the sickness spreading. Admittedly she's only ever had experience behind a counter in this world, and the customers here certainly weren't looking for the same services as she would provide back home.

That's probably a good thing, to be honest.

The store itself held a number of items: from daily necessities common here in Wyver to a few consumables. It was impressive to her seeing as it was still well maintained despite having been run by a single person for however long. But now she and someone familiar to her by name, considering they were both previously blamed for crimes they never committed, are stuck here manning the store. ] Hey, Shino? [ She stands on her tip toes, looking around for the other fugitive. ] The guy guy who was supposed to bring the cabbages just came and dropped them off, could you give me a hand?

[galaxycannon]

[ Shino shares a particular brand of guilt due to his involvement in the spread of the illness in Olympia, so it's easy to convince him to help the shopkeep in need. Besides, he's got the best face for customer service. Tagging along with one of Eugene's friends makes it an easy transition, too. He's surprised Eugene's been able to get close to such a pretty girl. Maybe his age has helped him out more than he thought.

He's fixing up some shelves when he hears Leanne's request for help. There's no hesitation as he pops over, dusting off his hands. ]

Sure, show me where to go.

[regives]

Thanks~ You're the best!

[ Unsurprisingly, but her thanks is still genuine. Gesturing to the stack of two crates below the counter. ]

The owner said that we have to put these out on the shelves up front, it should be open... [ She's going to move over to see whether or not that space is available. Fortunately enough the Gods of this world are looking over them and there's an evident little wooden shelf where they'll store the cabbages. ] Right over here!

[galaxycannon]

Hehehe, I try, I try~!

[ Nothing in the world feels better than getting thanked by someone cute. He'll happily lift a hundred boxes for her. It's not something he hasn't done before, after all. ]

Gotcha. I'll get started on it. [ And it's off to use his strength to his advantage and move each crate out from behind the counter to the shelves so they can start loading them into place. ]

Haha, I love havin' so many veggies on hand here. It's nice to have food to eat no matter where we end up.

[regives]

[ Great he can help carry all her stuff into Eugene's place.

After his wonderful display of strength Leanne even offers a round of applause. ]

I never would have taken you as the vegetable kind of guy. [ But then again he comes from the same place as Eugene and the others. ] But that's probably the reason you're so strong, you're a good boy who eats everything on his plate!

[ anyway, placing cabbages in the right place and what not ]

I've actually been trying to cook more often and have been asking around friends what their favorite dish is, so what's yours?

[galaxycannon]

[ If Leanne wants to subject herself to the most obnoxious little brother commentary.

She is welcome to invite him to that task. ]

That's pretty much what I was raised on. Vegetables. Some bread. And some other tasteless crap I couldn't really ever identify well. But I did eat all of it.

Mine? Oh man, I dunno. I don't know, really. I've been tryin' so much new stuff lately, especially here.

[regives]

[ Even if she's told of their conditions a thousand times it still manages to pull at Leanne's heartstrings; the corners of her mouth tug into a frown, albeit briefly, releasing a small breath. Even she received better meals while still being labeled as an experiment. ]

Isn't the food here great? [ Her tone returns to it's usual pleasantries, expression brightening up. ] I mainly ate vegetables where I'm from, too, real meat was rare and for royalties... so I guess I never had any until I got here.

[ Annnnnd there goes the last cabbage. ]

Alright, we're done here!

[galaxycannon]

Oh yeah, it's awesome! I mean, I liked Atra's cooking, sure, but here they don't have to store the food for a while so it's got all the flavor in or whatever.

[ Stuff stored in their ship and base had been frozen, cured or dried. Fresh had become as rare as ever. He'd missed it. ]

Yup, same for me, at least where we're from. E-- the other uh, place. Where we weren't from. They had animals around so they had it a lot more often.

Yeah! See? Easy.
