🛒 The Convenience Store - Ah, luxury of luxuries. Is there anything better than having a corner shop just down the street? It's your go-to for snacks on the go or restocking those toiletries you keep telling yourself you'll grab before they run out (and then you inevitably don't.) Everything found on the shelves of this store appears to be standard convenience store fare ranging from chips, candy, cookies, instant noodles, non-alcoholic beverages, shampoo, hand soap, toothpaste and more. Also open 24 hours a day, this shop is the perfect stop whether you want to eat ice cream at midnight or you sudden realize you're out of deodorant.
[ Adolphe is learning a lot, like how convenience stores are really meant to be convenient. He looks over at some toothpaste like. Cherry flavored? There's flavored toothpaste?? He's also finding out that instant noodles are indeed, not very instant. There's a cup of it in front of him as he just stares down. ]
I feel like I'm experiencing culture shock again...
[ This is so weird. It's nice to get confirmation though, since he hasn't felt hungry for the past whatever hours he's been here. It was probably the mountains of strange food that he witnessed.
Anyway, he takes... a triangle onigiri and looks at it with curiosity before eating it. ]
If you don't feel like cooking for the moment, but still need to fill your stomach, it's a nice stomach filler that doesn't make you have a terrible aftertaste.
[ He is just... trying to be nice to a stranger... for once... ]
He wasn't aware of the happenings because he barely looks at Chipper and doesn't carry his phone around, so seeing Mizu like this surprises him. Hopefully she's healed somewhat while being on this flat surface in the mansion. ]
... Do you need painkillers?
[ He figures other people fussed over her enough. ]
[sometimes... things happen! the left side of mizu's face has been visibly bandaged up, with the eye completely covered, which is... fun. anything else is covered up by a fresh, clean set of clothes, so adolphe at least won't see any new blood stains and the like.]
[ He quietly breathes out. Adolphe is about to ask a question and he thinks he'll know the answer because of how Mizu just seems to be, but. He'll ask anyway. ]
Adolphe looks to be fine for the most part, except now he's just holding something that looks like a reddish brown fox plush as if he's scruffing it. Why though? It looks like he's trying to figure something out, but the plush provides no answers.
However, the plush might draw Mizu's desire to be aggressive at it in some way (compelling but not forced), whether it be physical, sharp words, or more. ]
[ The plush continues to radiate aggro. It doesn't talk, but the vibes are: big talk for a person who can barely talk their way out of a situation that a kid can
Yeah. It's supposed to attract attention and keep it while repositioning me away from the attacker. The last part is hard to control... I've been appearing in random spots.
[ He throws the plush pretty far and it lands on the ground unceremoniously with a plop. How ever tilted the landing was for the plush, Mizu will feel the vibes of damn, son. look at you, being soooooo mad at a plush toy. what's next? gonna cut me up? gonna slice my head open with all the fluff out? you got a sword, don't you? you got one chance. better make it count, you surly bastard. ]
Not very far. It's just meant to distract people and relocate me to a safer place, but I can't exactly do that right when it keeps placing me above the ground so that I'd fall on my back.

What is it supposed to do?
no subject

I think... it's supposed to act as a decoy.
[ This is why the plush attracts aggro. ]
no subject
i am sorry to adolphe, but mizu is really just radiating murderous intent toward this stupid plushie. narrows eyes.]
