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

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...?

[Her cheeks flush a bit as the corners of her lips turn downward, leaning into Minako's hand. She offers the girl a look at her eye. A deep, black and purple bruise under her eye that, thankfully, is only a little bit swollen. Still, whatever hit her, hit her hard.]

...Yeah. Go ahead.

[Minako guides Ayano's face a little more her way, humming softly when she sees the damage. From the amount of public outcry in Ayano's post, Minako's sure the girl won't have any shortage of people raring to go at whoever did this to her.]

Do you wear glasses, Ayano? That plus sweeping over your bangs could probably distract from the worst of the bruising, after we put make-up on it. [A laugh.] Definitely a mysterious and sophisticated look, instead of emo.

[kagepuro]

You make it sound so good...[A slight laugh!]

I don't wear glasses but...do you think they'd look good on me? Some fake, hipster ones? [Another laugh.]

I'd try it! [Plus maybe a certain boy would think that was cute......]

[complementing]

Then let's go to the Towers and try it! And maybe get you some make-up supplies too, if you need them. We can make a fun afternoon of it.

[She smiles.]

Once you're done with your cake, of course.

[kagepuro]

[Sheepishly, Ayano presents the empty cake box to Minako.]

Ahehehe...Way ahead of you there! I'd be happy to go out with you, Minako.

Like, to the store...To the Towers...
[Points to her face.]
For glasses.

[She laughs and stands up, stretching her arms outward in front of her.]

Don't worry, I know what you mean. Come on, let's go~

[A short drive later, and they make it to their destination, stepping into the commercial grandeur of the Towers.]

Let's see...let's try the store on the second floor. Unless there's somewhere else you want to stop by first?

[kagepuro]

[Ayano smiles and shakes her head, fiddling with the bangs on the left side of her forehead, trying to keep people from noticing the bruise too much.]

No thanks! There's not really anything else I need right now, I don't think...[Plus all her hobbies are literally embarassing as heck and Minako is a Cool Older Gal.]

We can just look for some cute glasses...

[complementing]

Okay, let's go then.

[Minako leads the way to the glasses store, waving off all of the sales clerks with a smile. Ayano doesn't need anyone staring at her. They can find something on their own! Especially since the fake glasses section is understandably small compared to the other prescription glasses options.]

Any of them look interesting? I think a black pair would look pretty striking on you.
