voicemail.
[Following the "record your voicemail at the beep" message--]
What? Who gave you the right to order me around? -- W-Wait, was that the beep?
I wasn't prepared--!! [a whispered hiss:] How do you get this thing to stop-?!
[Beep!
You know the drill! IC Inbox for voice/video/action threads for whatever occasion.]

When she looks back at him, her expression is smoothed back into something more.... neutral.... so very carefully neutral because she might be really close to laughing otherwise, god.]
I mean.... that suits you.....
[THAT SOUNDS SAFE.]
no subject
It is a relatively safe thing to say though, that much is true. And if she doesn't bust up into a gigglefit on the spot, he seems to accept it... Easily placated, this one.]
I mean, I guess I'm the same. Small and cute and easy to decorate! [why is he like this.]
no subject
Except it's so absurd.
There's this sword that she's walking and talking with (already weird) and he's got this device in his hands that can wake her up in the morning or tell her when she's made a wrong turn to get to school and also now make sure that her hair isn't out of place (even weirder) and his focus on the fact that it's customizable and he wants to make it cute (the weirdest).
SHE'S GOING TO WALK FASTER AND TRY TO POLITELY SETTLE HER HAND AT HER CHIN IN A THINKING POSITION.]
Ha- [oh no she's about to laugh, this is stupid--] Mm....!
[okay yes better plan]
Mm-hmm....!!
[generally affirming noise!]
no subject
Kind of.
He was heading in the right(ish) direction but then hit a fork in the road and flew off into another continent, as he'll illustrate:]
Hey! I'm serious! I may not be as small as a tantou but that description still totally fits me.
[That isn't the problem here?!]
no subject
She was paying attention when he explained.
But honestly.... there's a limit. There is a limit when he's taller than her (and taller in his heels) and going on and on about being cute and decorated as if he's a pastry and not a person and she's-]
Ah.... ahaha.... haha!!
[She's covering her mouth to obscure the noise, she really is. But she's so alarmed at her own reaction that she's no longer walking, looking away and trying so hard to maybe pass this off as a fit of coughing -- except she can't stop giggling enough to get the coughing sound out.
Sorry about it, Kashuu.]
no subject
Hey— Hey!! What about that's so funny?!
[What about that isn't funny, more like...
But no, apparently he doesn't see anything hilarious in wanting to be a cute decorated small sword. This is the thanks he gets for showing her how to take a selfie, huh...!]
no subject
And she's still a mess of giggles despite her greatest attempts to avoid it even as she squeaks out-]
Sh-Shut up....!
[GUH.
Life is hard when you don't know how to emote.]
no subject
I didn't even say anything!
[Nothing funny, anyway! Nothing worthy of this totally out-of-the-blue laughter!!]
no subject
[But luckily the laughter is dying down and she's just going to rub the heels of her hands against the corners of her eyes then because she might've started tearing up a little from how hard she was laughing.
. . . but that was embarrassing.
So she's going to turn immediately back to WALKING. JUST WALKING.]
L-Let's keep moving.....
no subject
...I still don't get what's so funny.
[But he'll relent, at least...
AND LO, the gods of fate have been merciful! There's the candy apple cart, meaning they're indeed heading in the right direction. Kashuu will even helpfully bump this topic off its current tracks so Lili doesn't have to worry about struggling with more laughter... for now.]
There's the cart!
[1/2]
She's absolutely red even as she walks along because really -- what was that? Yes, it was undoubtedly amusing how Kashuu seemed so solely focused on being "cute and small" and whatever else but. Reacting so strongly..... she's so embarrassed?!
And what was up with that laughter? She couldn't stop? He must think that she's so weird!! No?!]
no subject
The cart? The one you mentioned that would be by the exit?
[When can she be free from this hell.]
no subject
But!! Freedom! So close they can almost taste it--
Or maybe that's just Kashuu feeling tempted to get a third candy apple. For some reason they're ridiculously addictive?!]
Mmhm! It shouldn't be that far from here.
[If she looks, she'll even see the heavily lit front gates!]
no subject
Whoops.
Almost immediately, she's walking faster toward the goal now because she'd rather not deal with.... well, everything else. She doesn't want to deal with her amusement over Kashuu and she doesn't want to deal with Kashuu and she doesn't want to deal with any candy apples--]
Don't dawdle!
no subject
But he'll dutifully start shuffling off after Lili soon enough, anyway. He'll return for these apples someday. Someday.]
Fine, fine! Geez, don't rush me.
[BUT AWAY THEY GO, SO CLOSE TO ESCAPE.]
