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...?

she will send over an address though!! ayano will find that it's some sort of studio in tisse. anya may or may not be at work but friends >>>> work]

[kagepuro]

actually, that might not be such a bad idea...

It might be fun to have a sleepover and get my mind off things!!

[wait...what things? Didn't you walk into a door, Ayano?]

i should just come over in a little bit, maybe...?

[constellates]

Text - > Action??

[It's a while later, but Ayano does eventually show up at the given location, her black eye now somewhat covered up by some make up. It was a difficult tightrope dance getting her parents to agree to the sleepover, but...maybe they were just glad she's making friends at all?]

Um, Anya...? [She isn't quite sure where to look, so she sends a message letting her know where she is.]

[constellates]

[It's okay - Anya at least asked the staff to let her know if they saw someone wandering around looking for her. That's kind of a concerning set of instructions when you're a rising idol, but Anya went for it anyway. It's why eventually someone spots Ayano and Anya's attention is nabbed, directing her to the young lady wandering the halls.

And Anya - probably wearing some sort of ridiculous costume for a photoshoot - doesn't hesitate to rush up to Ayano regardless, hands outreached to hold onto hers.]

Ayano...! Вот! Anya is here.

[kagepuro]

[Ayano takes Anya's hands, grinning. Her bangs are cleverly positioned over her left eye, obscuring the earlier injury.]

It's so good to see you!

I...[Now acknowledging Anya's outfit...]

Didn't realize you were a model...

[constellates]

[There's a brief little laugh there - ]

Ah... It is why Anya is busy sometimes. Photoshoots, dance practice, lessons...

[though she seems almost embarrassed to talk about it?? she's an idol but ssshhh, she's also still just Anya. she's getting used to it.]

Hеважно! Ah - nevermind that. Ayano is here to see me, yes? I am done for today, so we can go to dressing room and Anya will try to borrow makeup.

[THE STUFF OF THE PROS]

[kagepuro]

[She's far more beautiful in person than her profile picture lets on. Ayano shyly sidles up next to Anya, smiling.]

As long as I'm not too much trouble, this place seems...really serious!

[Playfully pokes Anya's shoulder.]

You're a big deal!

[constellates]

[a big deal.... anya giggles faintly at that, even as her cheeks warm up and she shakes her head.]

Ayano, teasing Anya already...?

[aaaaAAAA]

Mm - it is not like that. Or... I am still just starting in a way. But you are never too much trouble. Tоварищ! We are friends.

[kagepuro]

Grazie, Anya! [Ayano grins proudly of her remedial Italian. Yes, she's trying to show off that she has languages too! Ayano takes Anya's arm and gently hugs it.]

You're so impressive! And so good to me, even though we're new friends...

[constellates]

[You're welcome to take her arm - Anya will just lead Ayano back toward her dressing room.]

New friends...? Mm - I do not know if new or old matters. We will still get along, yes?

I do not know if I am... impressive? [With that gently rolling R but - ] I mean it when I say I will do my best for you.

Hадежный. So I hope you will rely on Anya when you need it. Is that okay to say?

[kagepuro]

Very okay! I'm relying on you right now, even...It's been a stressful day, so it's nice to be with my friend...

[Ayano is kind of constantly looking around, taking in the wonder of being in a studio like this.]

Wow, your own dressing room...

[constellates]

[It's temporary - her name's not on the door or anything - but it's definitely her own dressing room. There are a few costume changes on the rack as well as a vanity, but luckily there's still some makeup that's been left out...]

Bеликодушный. It is very nice of them to give me one...

Now Ayano does not need to worry about being trouble...? Are you okay? You are... stressed? Hurt?

[kagepuro]

I'm just a bit...shaken. It's been an entire day since it happened, so I'm okay, Anya.

[walks forward into a hug with Anya.]

I know I'm safe with you, so, it's okay...

[constellates]

[The hug is easy - Anya wraps her arms around the other girl and gives her a reassuring squeeze. This is what she needs when she's upset too. She understands... even if it hurts to know that something is making Ayano upset.]

You are...

Mm... говорящий? Sometimes... I think saying the unhappy things to someone who cares makes it easier? If you want... Anya is not good at talking, but I will listen.

Ayano being shaken... It is печальный. Not a happy thing. I am sorry. It is gone now...
