noirges | yves & charlie

[ let's say cafe so they can eat cutely together while they argue over who has to stand and who gets to sit (because they will both offer to stand) ]

[ here is charlie and here is current fit check ]

Oh, hello! My name is Charlie, it's a pleasure to meet you, Yves.

[ smiling brightly at him!! she definitely notes the mask, but is too polite to ask ]

Would you like to grab some food with me?

[ they will truly both offer to stand but awwwWWW SHE'S SO CUTE CHARLIIIEEE BURSTS INTO TEARS ]

It'd be my honor!

I'm glad that food at least is something we don't have to worry about around here.

[ this is the beginning of a kawaii ass friendship ]

Mine as well. I've heard the cafe does food that looks like animals! Can you believe that? Actual animals, oh em gee.

Yes, that's a relief. Though I wish people wouldn't be so wasteful with it... [ flashbacks to burger and nuggie mountains ]

"Oh em gee"!

[ he repeats it, because that's a very cute phrase and he thinks that it suits! ]

Ahaha, well, I'm sure at least some of it is accidents. People aren't used to the type of ordering system from what I could tell...

[ optimistic view of the group... ]

[ oh she is so delighted he's on her wavelength. she's beaming ]

Yes -- some people aren't used to technology at all. But that's okay! We just have to help them out so that accidents like this don't happen again.

[ matches your optimism, matches your optimism, matches--- ]

[ HELP THIS IS TRULY JUST FEEDBACK LOOP FOREVER

but yves nods! ]

Yeah, exactly! Do you know technology well, Charlie? I feel like I'm still learning the ropes, even though I've seen screens like this before in Cerneveaul...

[ it truly is. scien and yuffie was brat to brat communication. yves and charlie is sunshine to sunshine communication ]

Well, I think compared to most, yes! I do have a phone just like these ones.

Would you like some help? I can show you more about them if you'd like.

[ she wants to ask about cerneveaul but offering help comes first!! ]

Oh? Please!

[ brightening up ]

There was this mode that I saw where you can make the phone look like... a mirror? How did that work?

[ he means selfies ]

Oh, do you mean a selfie?

[ she gets it immediately, at least. ]

[ she takes out her own phone to demonstrate ] That's the camera app. There's two cameras on your phone, too, so you can take a picture of yourself, or others.

[ demonstrates opening the app and flipping back and forth between regular camera and selfie ]

It's amazing that the camera fits into something so slim... the ones that we have on the island are really bulky still.

[ but he makes a gentle 'oohhh' awed sound at the demonstration ]

Got it! Should we take a photo together to commemorate?

Isn't it? Technology is one of the most incredible things humans have ever come up with.

[ yves is so cute... ]

Oh! If... if you want.

[ yves, internally: humans?

ok put a pin in that ]

I do! I want to test out my skills that my new friend taught me. Is that okay?

[ she does have horns and a tail even though it is not reflected by most of my icons... cosplay ??? ]

Of course! I just didn't expect that.

[ both wanting a selfie and being called friend... owo ]

[ she crouches a little so she's not taller than him in the shot ] Is this okay?

[ yeah listen anything can be a costume at this point. but even if you're not human, who's to say what you... are! there are so many furries here

but he smiles and throws up a peace sign (learned from uruha) as he poses to take a selfie with them both ]

How's this?

[ true. it'll probably come up again..... and he's always free to ask for deets ]

I love it! Peace is so good.

[ matches him and throws up a peace sign too, beaming ]

[ yayyy!! the picture gets snapped and yves looks so pleased, looking it over and pulling away just enough so he can turn and show it to her ]

There!

I'm so glad... Pictures are really rare in my island, so it's nice to be able to capture them so easily.

[ she looks delighted too ]

I'm really glad, Yves.

Can I ask why? Do you not have any cameras?

We do, but they're really rare. The Institute keeps stock of all of them, because they're pretty expensive technology. So common people don't get to keep them.

[ a glance to her and then he'll tilt his head ]

Actually Charlie, can I ask... if you're not human, how do you see yourself?

That's too bad. Photos are like... physical memories! It's important to share them.

[ at least he can now take 28390283023 selfies and pictures ]

[ also... oh ]

How do I see myself? Well, I'm from Hell. Or, er. Hades. Or... I don't know what the other versions are called, but souls of sinners go there.

[ . . . ???? ]

You're from Hades? But you're so.... nice?

I was born and raised there. It's my home.

[ so he's familiar with it as hades... she will try to remember ]

I um. I know me being a demon can be pretty... Er. Offputting, so if you don't want to be friends, I understand.

Oh - no, I’m not worried about that.

[ and he gives her a smile, trying to be reassuring ]

You’ve been kind to me. It would be silly to change my mind just because I learned more about you.

But I think if I knew Hades had demons like you, I wouldn’t have grown up as scared of it.

[ well she is one of a kind in hell that's for sure ]

Well--- I don't think you would ever end up there, Yves. You're really kind yourself.

[ her smile gets a little warmer ]

But I'm glad. [ she will reach out to take his handsies.... and hold them. if he lets her ] I'm really looking forward to being friends.

[ of course he lets her! automatically he squeezes her hands back without even thinking about it ]

Me too! Let me know if you ever need a hand with anything, alright?

I think we've got to look out for each other around here.

[ fwiendship.... 🥺 ]

Thank you. And I agree completely.... so you do the same, alright?
