                ❝tch! what is it with people taking one little                      look at a video of raw fish & suddenly think that                     japanese food is g r o s s! ugh, that’s a common                     misconception! seriously,  i don’t—--wait, what?                     udon is the best freakin’ dish in the world, & she                     won’t even try it?! no offense, but, your mother is                     seriously m i s s i n g out…..❞

◌◌◌  [ℋ ❀ ℒ]                             "Well, I guess it’s a little complicated. I have                            this.. dream, to combine both Chemistry and                            Alchemy into one science. There’s so much we                            can learn from combining, rather than just seeing                            alchemy as a medieval art.. so.. I guess I’d like to                            be a researcher. I intend to show my research to                            someone who might be interested.. If not that..                            then I’d probably like to teach chemistry.”

           ”Nice to meet you too, Penelope! What            about you? Do you study anything?” 

[ ✿ ] —                           ❝Hmm--I've never heard of anything                      of such an innovative science before . . .                      but it sounds fascinating. I hope your                     research takes off! I think I'd like to read                      it sometime.  

”Uh                         I don’t really, eat in the town that much.                          I know a few café’s though”

    “Um, hello there. Did you need something?      I’m closing up shop right now.”

[ ✿ ] —                           ❝Oh, I'm sorry! I just--wanted to look."

Lips curled into a smile as a hand smoothed his tie; eyes fell upon the scarf which concealed her  features. 

'I'm alright. No need to apologise. And yourself?’

[ ✿ ] —       He was dressed pretty                       nice -- it was a good thing                       she hadn't knocked him to                       the ground. 

                             ❝ i would like to fly, i think.                                  flying would be magnificent. ❞ 

[ ✿ ] —   

                ❝depends! how does japanese food sound to you?❞

               “Harry Potter is a great world, I can see why you’d pick that.                             And Narnia, too! They’re both so magical —                             far better than our normal, mundane world.”

                                   Sighs wistfully.

                      “And it so is! Besides, you said you’d go into the world                          of your favorite books, not ones you’ll write.

            As for me, I’d like to create my own place, made entirely of ice.                          It’d be my own special place, exactly as I want it.                           Oh, and shaved ice! All the shaved ice I could eat.”                                             ——————(  ✼  )——————

[ ✿ ] —   

                              ❝Oh, I don't know if I'd say that--there's a lot of                                 magic to be found here, too. You just have to know                                 where to look.❞ 

                                    Above the scarf, eyes smile back,                                     shining with the still wide-eye wonder                                     of the outside world.

                             ❝ But maybe I'll write a book and it'll become                                  my new favorite!❞ 

                                    --she can hardly say that                                        without laughing.                              

“    Actually, I might!  Lemme check my backpack.” 

[ ✿ ] —                           ❝Thank you! It's just, my allergies                      are terrible this time of year.❞ 

“A tissue? Actually yes! Wait.. are you alright, miss?”

               “Ohhh, that soundswonderful!  Which book first?                And you cheat, you’re only allowed one power!”                                 ——————(  ✼✼  )——————

[ ✿ ] —   

                              ❝Well, it's not very unique . . .                                   but probably Harry Potter?                                  I'd love to see the wizarding                                  world, especially all the magical                                  plants! Or Narnia.❞ 

                                   and people could walk around                                    with pig noses there without                                    judgment.

◌◌◌  [ℋ ❀ ℒ]                             "Hm? Oh! These are just some books for                            my chemistry classes. I’m a Chemistry major,                            so I’ve got lots of studying to do.”

           She smiled good naturedly, and offered            the girl her hand. She was curious about            the scarf, but decided to not ask. It seemed            rude to.

           ”I’m Aiko Miyazaki.” 

[ ✿ ] —                           ❝Wow, that's great!❞ 

                   Penelope had always                     been more of a biologist

                   ( or horticulturist if you wanted                       to be even more technical  )

                   but chemistry also had a spot                    in her heart, especially when                    it came to the ingredients of                    garden soil.
