little talks *:･ﾟ✧

⟨ KIM JIWOO. CIS FEMALE. SHE/HER. ⟩ though the mist might prevent some from seeing it, SUNHEE CHA is actually a descendent of A P O L L O. it’s still a question of whether or not the TWENTY-ONE year old METEOROLOGY MAJOR from PARIS, FRANCE has taken after their godly parent completely, but the demigod is still known to be quite STARRY-EYED & FLIGHTY.

this is it.  end of the shift,  time to walk home together like they always do ( her hand is itching to hold his, as is the usual ), and jasper’s headed into the back where sunhee has carefully placed a bouquet arrangement of all of his favorites on his desk; hidden inside the flowers, maybe a little too carefully, are two folded notes. one is a poem, printed out on fancy paper; another is a handwritten note that reads do you like me? with two checkboxes available: yes and yes. “  ... i rigged it, ”  she whispers to bernadetta on her hip, elbows folded on the counter and eyes wide with anticipation as she waits for him to emerge. 

“ ummmmm... rainy, gloomy, no sun at all. no candies. uh. most interactions with dio’s witch... 50% of my interactions with jj, depending on how moody and mean he is being that day... ummmm... ”  there’s a long, thoughtful pause. “ i do not care for thursday, either. bad vibes on a thursday. in french, it is said jeudi, and it means evil day. ”  it doesn’t. it means thursday.

      “  who  knows  what  they’d  do  to  you  if  you  got  caught,  ”  giulia  shrugs,  having  far  too  much  fun  with  today’s  trickery.  she  almost  (  key  word:  almost  )  feels  bad  for  how  easy  it  is  to  pull  one  over  on  sweet,  innocent  sunhee,  but  she’s  having  far  too  much  fun  to  stop  now.  “  as  we  know,  the  gods  aren’t  often  merciful.  neither  is  the  law.  ”  she  lets  out  a  wistful  sigh,  her  expression  shifting  ever  so  slightly.  “  but,  then  again,  i  don’t  have  to  turn  you  in.  that’d  be  making  a  major  sacrifice  for  you  though  —  and  why  would  i  do  that  …”  she  leaves  the  statement  open  just  waiting  for  sunhee  to  fill  in  the  blank.

“ eat me!! definitely, they will eat me!!!” sunhee exclaims with a newfound level of pure, genuine terror as she falls to her knees, never being one known for sparing the dramatics. she can just imagine zeus lining up first at the roasting of sunhee cha...  

at the first sign of mercy on giulia’s half — who, by the way, she isn’t convinced won’t eat her herself, with that look in her eyes; in fact, sunhee’s never been more sure that it’s what she wants, and it is a fear she’s had since they met — sunhee gasps, hope lit in her eyes as she shifts bernadetta ( her chicken bag ) to rest in her lap in front of her and opens her up. she starts emptying the contents — her wallet, an obscene amount of lolipops, an even stranger amount of pebbles and paper clips, and most particular of all: a rose quartz, refined gem. “ take it!! take it all!! please help me, miss witch!! i mean, giulia, goddess of everything but especially mercy on sunhee!! ” 

        “  sure  you  were,  sweetheart,  ”  sarcasm  rolls  off  her  tongue,  thick  like  honey,  yet  her  smile  is  vaguely  sweet,  yet  vaguely  menacing.  she’ll  have  some  fun  with  this  one  —  her  day  has  been  a  total  snoozefest,  it’ll  be  entertaining  to  make  sunhee  sweat,  even  just  a  bit.  “  no  ifs  —  ”  giulia  continues,  “  it’s  just  that  you’ll  have  to  live  with  thievery  on  your  conscious  and  last  i  checked  you  weren’t  a  descendant  of  hermes,  now  are  you  ?   i  mean,  you’re  a  bit  squeaky  clean  for  a  life  of  crime.  ”

         “ i — i am not, no! ”  sunhee means less for her response to be defensive and more along the lines of affirmative, loud, confident; all things she normally is, and yet, finds herself missing under giulia’s stare.  there’s something about her that genuinely frazzles sunhee to her core, and she has no freaking idea what it is. wary, sunhee tilts her head, taking a couple of steps back once again from the plant, now holding her hands up for giulia to see. “ a life of crime... over one little flower? are you sure... ? oh, gods! would i be arrested if word got out? ” 

status  :  open  to  all location  :  the  greenhouse  (  outdoor  garden  )

              “  not  so  fast,  ”  she  calls  out,  rounding  the  corner  with  a  sly  sort  of  smile  curling  upward.  her  gaze  flicks  from  her  target,  to  the  crops  they  linger  by,  and  back  to  them  once  more.  “  you  were  thinking  about  it,  weren’t  you  ?  picking  without  permission.  tsk  tsk.  ”  of  course,  she’s  the  last  who  would  ever  care  about  breaking  the  rules  —  but  it’s  fun  to  play  with  her  prey  like  this.  “  what’s  stopping  you,  then  ?  because  i’d  be  willing  to  turn  the  other  cheek …  ”  

-

              busted.  truly startled,  sunhee jolts to the sound of a new voice in the vicinity,  eyes blown comically wide in her motion of heel turning to face her new company.  her hand is still out,  ready to pick and frozen in place,  not unlike a deer caught in the headlights.  eyes shifting nervously between her and her own hand,  she slowly lowers it,  folds it behind her back,  and shakes her head. “ i was... streeeeetching?”  she tries,  grin as nervous and faux-innocent as they come. she pauses at the inquiry,  almost excited at the thought,  but... eyes narrowing, playfully suspicious, she shifts her weight between her feet, hands both folded behind her back now. “ whyyy do i get the feeling an if is coming...? ” 

jasper: Let me call now and explain, one second.

jasper: [ the line doesn't ring long when jasper calls; no surprise, all things considered. ] Hey, Sun --- [ typically, he'd wait for a response, but it's obvious, even through text, that sunhee is too on edge to waste time. he wants her comfortable above all else. ] ---- when I say stay level, I mean y'gotta stay upright as much as you can. No need t' plank or anything, just don't lean forward or back when you're sittin' so you don't fall. I'm already on the way.

jasper: Tricked me?

jasper: Okay, I'll be there in just a bit. Stay still and level if you can.

jasper: Would you like me to call you on my way?

sunhee: LEVEL?? HUH?? LIKE FLAT?? •﹏• should i plank... jasie i'm so scared what if i fall and DIE
