[ SOMEONE has been spamming the hell out of her new shiny slot machine she’d received for xmas. and it still hadn’t run out of tokens from all her jackpots yet... time to find a coin case, or at least see if any of the shops in Luceti would be interested in buying taking all these coins, she was filthy rich before but this is getting ridiculous.

carrying a duffel full of tokens is hard work, though, so if you’re anywhere out in the village, visitor or Luceti resident alike, expect to be stumbled into as she faceplants and gold coins go flying everywhere. ow!! ]

[ she'll always be short to him!! ]

Call me Snow, kiddo. [ B) tossing another coin in the bag ] How tall do you think you'll be?

[acuity]

[ Cynthia automatically comes to mind 8|a trying to copy cointoss, less successfully. ]

Mr. Snow, then. And I've never thought about that... a proper, elegant height, I hope.

[stonewall]

[ oh god no CAN HE REALLY TEASE HER THIS IS TOO CUTE ]

Just Snow's fine. [ sssssheepish headscratch, he has probably never been called mr anything in this life. ] An elegant height, huh? Why's that?

[acuity]

Why?... I'm the heiress to house Berlitz. It wouldn't be ladylike to stay short!

[ names are srs bsns, it's a running theme!! ]

[stonewall]

Hey, height's not everything. [ easy for him to say, but w/e. ] I'd still be a hero even if I was short. I bet you'll be fine.

[acuity]

You might be right. But the point is that... it's rude to call someone short, even if they are. For now!

And what do you mean by a hero?

[stonewall]

[ IT'S NOT RUDE OKAY HAVE ANOTHER LAUGH ]

You know what a hero is, right? [ textbook definition right here!! ]

[acuity]

[ wha... WHY LAUGHING AT, WHY. ]

Of course I do! I just didn't think people introduced themselves like that. Like it's a job title.

[stonewall]

[ BECAUSE IT'S WHAT HE DOES ]

That's because it is. [ ... Sort of. ] Pretty great, huh?

[acuity]

... There's such a thing as a professional hero?

[ staring up at like 8|a WOULD THEY LOOK LIKE HIM THOUGH. ]

[stonewall]

[ rude they totally would ]

Maybe not professional, but it's what I do. People are always gonna need heroes.

[acuity]

That's certainly true, but at the same time... it seems counter-intuitive to leave heroics only to certain designated people.

If that makes sense.

[stonewall]

Hey, hey. Anyone can do that stuff if they want. [ He's not trying to hog all the heroics, okay... just some of them. ] I'm just makin' sure people know they can rely on me.

[acuity]

I see, that's much more acceptable! It would be a shame if there's competition in the heroics field, after all.

[stonewall]

[ flicking the last coin in with a grin HE LIKES YOU, PLATINA ]

So what's all this about, anyway? [ aren't you a little young to be playing slot machines...... ]

[acuity]

[ zipping up duffel and picking up again with a huff, too young for gambling THERE'S NO SUCH THING. ]

My christmas present doesn't seem to be running out of coins. I'm trying to see if the shops will accept them, or if they at least have a case...

[stonewall]

[ WELL OKAY not like he's captain responsible ]

... That's some present. [ IT PRINTS MONEY!! ]

[acuity]

It certainly is! I was hoping to find something like it for a long time!
