ayano's theory of bruises - 9/19, 4:15PM

[kagepuro]

Ummmm

Is there anyone on here who’s like...good at make up that can help me...Like one of those instagram models or something...

I was clumsy enough to give myself a black eye, and I need to hide it from my parents so they don’t freak out or get the wrong idea…

[A picture of Ayano follows, purple and black underline her left eye--thankfully not particularly swollen. Even so, whatever she smashed into must have smashed into her pretty hard. She wears a weak, sheepish smile on her face despite the heavy bruise. If it weren't there, this would be a perfectly good Facebook profile picture, in fact.]

It’s not that bad, right? Silly me...
Maybe I should just do the emo hair thing...?

I know, but it's really hard to put makeup on bruises because it might impair their healing

but if you really need someone to cover it up for now, i can help you

is that alright?

[kagepuro]

I just don't want my parents to see it, I can take it off at night time...

I just need to know how to do it because I'm gonna have to keep this up until it heals...

That's really nice of you to offer....I'm Ayano!!

[gudaguda]

okay!! i'm sakura!

I've got spare samples cause i cosplay a fair bit and sometimes the shops send them to me... you can have them.

i can teach you some of the really basic stuff so you can apply it yourself! that's not a problem

[kagepuro]

id really like that!! I don't know much about make up at all...I was never much of a make up type of girl...

It's so cool that you do cosplay, though...

[gudaguda]

it's an expensive hobby but it's one i love and good at so!!

hey, where are you right now? you're not using retrospec in some toilet cubicle somewhere hiding from the world, are you?

[kagepuro]

I'm still at school, I don't really wanna go home yet, especially still...looking like this. It was weird enough the way everyone looked at me, I don't want my mom and dad doing that too...

[gudaguda]

Hey, if you wanna text me your exact location. I'll go straight to you with my makeup kit, okay? No questions or anything, I just wanna help.

[kagepuro]

[Ayano shoots her location over, just outside of the high school.]

thank you!! I'll be waiting, I...you probably won't be able to miss me, hehe...

[gudaguda]

[ Ayano won't get a reply, but she would hear the sound of footsteps coming to her within the next ten minutes. Sakura's fast on her feet and she was nearby. Around her is a fairly large messenger bag and when she realises Ayano is there, she waves happily. ]

Hi! Ayano-san? This is Sakura! We were talking on the app.

[kagepuro]

Oh! It's so nice to meet you! [Ayano springs up with a smile. Her hair is kind of covering the left side of her face with the purpose of keeping people from starting at her.]

Ah, you're as pretty as I expected...

[gudaguda]

[ Sakura looks around to make sure there's nobody around, which there isn't. It looks like most people have gone home, or anyone who is hanging around is probably working - which is good. Less embarrassment for the poor girl. ]

Ahaa... it's a lot of foundation and concealer. Which I have for you!

[ She digs into her bag, and pulls out a small makeup bag. ]

This is for you!

[kagepuro]

For me?

[Ayano gingerly takes the bag, fawning a bit over how cute it is.]

Like...to keep?

[gudaguda]

Definitely for you.

[ Sakura nods energetically. ]

It's not a lot, but it should help you uh...

[ She gestures towards Ayano's face, indicating to her bruise. ]

Cover that for the time being.

[kagepuro]

Yeah...[Her gaze finds her shoes, embarassed that she's in this situation to begin with.]

I...really appreciate what you're doing, Sakura...
