Forward-Dated to 6/14

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard shared a photo. 6/13 near Freshens

Look at these! I found them in the fruit aisle today, and are they not the most beautiful shade? I swear that they taste better now too. Nothing else other than some flowers I found by the side of the road are blue, but these are again. But maybe it is changing, yes?

(OOC: Oops, got over-eager with this. There will be a post this evening, so this is forward-dated to tomorrow. Sorry for that folks.)

Elda Marker I'm going to need to invest in blueberries, even if we're a little shy of peak season now!

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard It's not the peak, no, but the season is at least starting I think.
Chloe Bouchard Definitely something to enjoy, now that they are normal again.
Chloe Bouchard And, you know,
not smiling at us.

Elda Marker Wait the blueberries were never dancing... right?
Elda Marker I think?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard No they were never dancing, but I don't trust fruit lately.
Chloe Bouchard When they changed colors, I felt betrayed.
Chloe Bouchard At least bananas are still safe.
Chloe Bouchard Safe, dependable bananas.

[matchbreaker]

Elda Marker Unless the current crop goes extinct
Elda Marker They did back in my mother's day, after all

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I don't recall a shortage of bananas, though I'm only 18 so I suppose there might have been one some time ago.
Chloe Bouchard That, and we didn't have that many bananas when I was in France.
Chloe Bouchard Imported fruit was a bit hard to come by in numbers.

[matchbreaker]

Elda Marker Like I said, my mother's day, it was before even I was born.
Elda Marker During the 1950s the main crop of bananas in the world was wiped out.
Elda Marker That's why banana candy tastes different than bananas.

[ Okay that's not 100% true but Elda's pretty sure it is ]

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Oh, I see, how very curious, but I suppose it would have to be back a few decades.
Chloe Bouchard You are Hitsugaya's mother, after all.
Chloe Bouchard Your icon looked younger, so you've aged very well.

[She has no way to test her on it, and it seems a silly thing to be wrong about, so she was going to take her word for it.]

[matchbreaker]

Elda Marker Thank you! I've worked hard to keep myself in order!
Elda Marker Speaking of, I should change this thing, I wonder if it'll let me now?

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I gave up trying, at least until a friend tells me that I can.
Chloe Bouchard Besides, I don't really mind, even if my icon always looks eternally curious about everything.
Chloe Bouchard It isn't entirely false of me.

[matchbreaker]

Elda Marker I don't think mine's that flattering.
Elda Marker I doesn't get my best angle.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard I I don't know.
Chloe Bouchard It has a bit of that confidence to it, if that's what you're wanting, though it might be a bit intimidating.
Chloe Bouchard It all depends on what you want.

[matchbreaker]

Elda Marker I suppose
Elda Marker Eesh but this thing has roped in way too many young people!

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard It really has. I suppose I qualify as young, even if I've been out of lycee for a year now.
Chloe Bouchard But what worries me are the really young captives.
Chloe Bouchard Or was this about something else?

[matchbreaker]

Elda Marker You, my boys, some of their friends, that delinquent girl...
Elda Marker The lot of you, really. Mr. Halloway ought to have some sort of standards,
Elda Marker You can't be subjected to this before you can rent a car, that's absurd.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard That delinquent girl? Who do you mean?

[It said a lot about Chloe's friends that this could apply to a few people.]

Chloe Bouchard Though I suppose I won't argue.
Chloe Bouchard I have several friends I wouldn't want to go through this at all, though at least now I can keep tabs on them.

[matchbreaker]

Elda Marker Doesn't matter
Elda Marker I feel the same about my son to some extent, for me to be here if he does.
Elda Marker But none of you should be here in the first place.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard No, none of us, any of us should but the children especially.
Chloe Bouchard Still, I will do whatever I have to to protect them.
Chloe Bouchard I hate, though, that my mother doesn't understand any of this, though she is hopefully safer where she is.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . another one. ]

Elda Marker You're still a child too, you know

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Young, yes, child no.
Chloe Bouchard I have moved to this country and lived alone for quite a while now.
Chloe Bouchard I have a job of my own, so forgive me but I don't think of myself as a child.
Chloe Bouchard But, I'll agree that I'm still quite young.

[matchbreaker]

[ She disagrees. But then, legal to vote (assuming she can with her via status) so... mmr. Whatever. ]

Elda Marker You've done well for yourself then, that's good for you!
Elda Marker Genuinely, not sarcastically

[true_noir]

[She'd managed legal citizenship not long ago, so yep. There was no way she was voting for the mayor again, for one.]

Chloe Bouchard Thank you, and I'm sorry for putting my foot down.
Chloe Bouchard I had to deal with it from Officer Togusa too.
Chloe Bouchard I appreciate the concern, but I'm quite independent compared to some I know that are my age.

[Seriously, how were she and Lucy the same age?!?]

[matchbreaker]

Elda Marker Regardless, to turn back to the original topic...
Elda Marker I'm going to go get some blueberries.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard A wonderful plan, if I may say so.
Chloe Bouchard Grab them while you can, and some plums too.
