but fine, fine!! just wait a moment for him to come down to the first floor of the flat building before stomping over to where mary is parked by the curb.
just gonna stare at her grumpily before: ]
...What did you buy?
[ and depending on her answer, she'll either be invited in or get kicked out. ]
Edited (just gonna make it clear that he lives in a flat and not a house) 2017-07-02 07:13 (UTC)
[ mary rolls the window down and watches sena stomp out of the flat, unable to keep the smile fully off her face--this is hilarious--but! she does comply to his pissy request and opens up her convenience store bag. ]
This... low calorie, high protein ice cream-- [ motha fuckin halo top ], a couple sparkling waters, and a candy bar for me.
[ wait what do you mean there's already low-cal ice cream. sena would still hate sweets either way, but: ]
I'll take the sparkling water for now. Get in.
[ he signals at the security guard by the post that it's okay, mary's with him unfortunately, so he'll cock his head towards the building and guides her up to his floor with a yawn here and there. ]
'm still on step 9 on my regimen so thanks for disturbing me, I guess.
[ success! not that mary would've really taken no for an answer, but it's the thought that counts. she shuts the bag and turns the car on, following after sena with her hands in the pockets of her sweater. ]
Honestly, I was expecting you to come out with a sheet mask or something, so, this is an improvement. [ sena's building is at least familiar, anyway, and she offers a charming little "hello it's me again" smile to the security guard on her way up. for the most part, this isn't abnormal: mary's more relaxed than usual, here, still in her leggings and a big shirt from sleep.
she enters sena's flat behind him and wastes no time in going to fetch a spoon from his kitchen. ] So. Retrospec.
[ he opens the door and WHOOP THERE SHE GOES, WHY IS SHE ALREADY TREATING THIS AS HER SECOND HOME. he follows her into the kitchen to pop open a bottle of sparkling water. ]
Retrospec. The social media we all know and love. Not that everyone is aware of that, because people like you don't know that it existed till now. It's like an exclusive club.
[ yeah, mary has no shame in treating this place like her second home. she's at least a lady and not a damn animal and doesn't sit on the counter, but she does lean back against it as she digs her spoon into the ice cream and takes a spoonful.
in reality, she knew sena would give it to her straight: it was why she showed up here. mary likes answers. ] There's no way you've kept it secret this long, I would've read you like a book. [ thoughtfully. ] What would happen if you tried to talk to someone about it who didn't know?
[ he just throws her a disgusted look because how can anyone eat ice cream at this hour..... anyway. pulls up a chair and sits down on it, taking a swig of water. ]
Are you saying I'm that transparent, Saotome? It's not like it's a huge secret anyway so don't go assuming things like that.
[ sigh. ]
They just can't see it. I've shown the app to some people at the modeling agency and they think I'm crazy or something. Only a handful of my classmates and fellow models knew about it.
Maybe not to some people. [ there's a lilt of teasing to her tone there, because no, sena's the opposite--but, like recognizes like. besides, mary knows for a fact she's great at reading people. ♥
either way. she takes another bite of the ice cream, which is delicious at any time of night!! it's helping her cope with how fucked up this retrospec thing is anyway. ] And people area just randomly selected to join it? [ people like her... it pisses her off, the idea of someone just--controlling her life like that. mary's worked hard to build herself the way she has, retrospec or no retrospec. no ominpotent app is going to mess with that. ]
You made it sound like there were side effects, too.
I believe it. [ it's not the weirdest thing she's heard today...besides, it's sena. he doesn't have any reason to lie to her. it's part of the reason why she came here first. ]
[ but, to kill the gravity, she adds, dryly: ] Don't tell me you have a magic wand or something you got from your future life. That's when you're going to the insane asylum.
[ sorry mary, as of now there's still no magical knights event in the game. even so, he blinks, realizing that he may have said too much and proceeds to shut her down like the rest of them, averting his eyes from her as he focuses on one tile on the kitchen floor. ]
[ really, she'd love to push it more, even watching his expression. ]
That's bullshit. [ she says, but mary doesn't ask him anything else about it. ] ...but, fine. When did you start remembering things? Was it just random?
I told you, ever since I got the app. Which is why I know that you'll be getting some soon. You'll see. This is just a heads-up for you in case you start overreacting or anything.
[ okay, that's it. to distract himself from thinking more about the ongoing discussions in retrospec right now, sena's going to get up and approach mary to just grab the tub of ice cream from her and steals his own spoon from the cupboard to take a bite.
...and his eyes widen in surprise because whoa, it tastes just like normal ice cream??? what is this witchcraft ]
Hey, I'm not some hysterical wailing woman, I'm not about to overreact--oi. [ though she makes a little noise of complaining, mary does tilt the tub in his direction. it's birthday cake flavored, thank you, because mary has great taste.
she smiles, looking a little more pleased with herself and less freaked out about retrospec. ] Good, right~?
[ he makes no sound as he savors the birthday-cake flavor -- god, how long has it been since he's had one of these? besides from promoting some sweets products from time to time, sena tries very hard to avoid anything too sweet for the sake of keeping his figure.
so yeah, he's still a bit starry-eyed about this, even with that blank face of his. he does snap out of it after a few more seconds, though. ]

Pretty much. We don't know how they select people to test out the app, so their reason could be anything. Not that they'd say anything about it.
[ but yes, the side effects. get ready, mary. ]
...You'd get these weird flashbacks of your past life. It's hard to believe, but it happens to everyone who has the app.
no subject
mary does stare at him like he's crazy, but that's to be expected. ] I'm sorry, what? Past lives?

I told you it's hard to believe. I don't want to believe it either, but...
[ his hands grip the bottle of water tightly, indicating that he's a lot more bothered with this than he lets on. ]
It makes sense, even though it doesn't.
no subject
...that doesn't help explain much. [ but. ] It's not your fault it sounds like bullshit, though.

[ it's weird, seeing sena this vulnerable. but maybe it's because of the things he just remembered on this day alone. ]
