Venus: I want feathers in my lungs and eyes on my skin. I want my heart to see and my lungs to fly. I want to undo the division of day and night. | |

Is this how I... Wait, is it recording?

[She slides the scissors and paper across the ground. She also keeps brushing through Venus' feathers, tracing carefully around her eyes, touch still light.
Get the presents done, first. This can't be delayed.]
no subject
[ and, true to her word, she picks up the scissors and... tries to Got It. she's not the worst at cutting things out, but uh. she's definitely not the best, either. it's actually kind of sad to watch. somewhere, a gifted six year old is crying watching her fuck this up. ]
no subject
Luckily, the shape of the paper doesn't matter as long as the squares are big enough, because wrapping them is a lumpy, haphazard affair anyways. When Erika takes them, she pauses, considers their angles, and matches them to the slippers they'll cover best.]
When everything's calmed down. [by which of course she means "after i've slept for 24 hours straight"] Let's go somewhere.
no subject
[ this is... a surprise. not an unwelcome one! but erika kind of seemed like the "sip terrible alcohol in our room and giggle and smooch" kind of person. huh. where can you even date on the moon... ]
no subject
[Since...Christmas...which she hasn't explained to Venus and has kind of forgotten the need to, what with all the other shit going on. Blar.
(tape crinkling noise)]
no subject
[ it still doesn't really hit her at first. she just nods and keeps cutting. but then a smile pops up on her face, and then it gets wider, and then her shoulders dip in and she bites her lip and a goofy little giggle makes its way out as she says: ]
That's- really cute, actually? A date. My first real date. Wow.
no subject
Yeah, mine too. I'd already stopped going to school by the time...you know. But Chitose always talked about the dates he went on, so I have a bit of a clue.
[ANYWAYS THE UPSHOT IS THAT] One full day off. No thinking about missions...just something fun.
[erika that is mostly a restriction on you]
no subject
[ they were on a space station, stranded in space, with nothing to do but drink liquor and stare out the windows. for a moment, venus falls quiet - but she shakes her head and moves past it soon enough. ]
Yeah. No missions allowed. [ another dorky giggle. ] What is there date-wise, here? I guess... Does Bender count as a lunch date?
no subject
[....
She puts on this voice, like, she's mimicking someone else for a moment. It's definitely not going to be clear to Venus who, exactly.]
Dates are for having fun and showing off, so if you had fun and showed off, it's a date. Location's just a detail...
[Drops the voice.]
I think.
no subject
Wow. That sounded... experienced?
[ she also has literally no clue about dates, clearly. ]
Fun and showing off... I mean, I could dance for you? But that seems kind of. You know. [ weirdly intimate? something we already did in our first thread?? ] Oh! Uh, we could ask Johann to play us something? Do you think he'd...
[ it's striking her now that she probably should be on somewhat conversational terms with someone before asking them for a free romantic serenade. ]
...could we pay him?
no subject
Maybe... [There is that issue of familiarity, though. Erika fidgets.] There's always going out to a restaurant, right?
