[ 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!! ]

[ Snow's probably big enough for half the population to stumble into at once, tbh. ]

Whoa! Take it easy, kiddo. [ He leans down, offering a gloved hand. Not five minutes in and he's already semi-responsible for someone taking a fall. ] Everything okay?

[acuity]

I-I'm fine! But... my coins...

[ accepting hand up and then staring down at the rich mess with ladylike dismay. crawling on the ground and picking them up is not classy! ]

[stonewall]

Your coins? [ Oh wow he didn't even see those... and there's so many of them. He shrugs, giving Platina a pat on the head. ] Open the bag up, short stuff. I'll get 'em.

[ DUTIFULLY BENDING DOWN TO START PICKING THEM UP ]

[acuity]

You will? I do apprecia... short stuff!?

[ oh well that's nice of mr. giant. obediently crouching down and opening duffel in relief and wait a minute I TAKE OFFENSE. ]

[stonewall]

[ LAUGHING IT OFF nobody ever said he didn't like teasing people sometimes ]

It's no problem. [ just going to ignore that offense la di dah picking up coins is pretty great ]

[acuity]

Right. But I do have a name, sir!

[ nvm that she didn't tell him yet just... going to help pick up some of her own tokens in mild irritation, that'll show him. ]

[stonewall]

Could've fooled me. [ Okay no that one was definitely a tease, and he laughs. Her irritation is kind of endearing tbh. ] Mine's Snow. Snow Villiers.

[pokesavior]

[Oh dear, that was a pretty bad spill. All these coins...he kneels down to pick a few up now.]

Where were you heading with all of these? [Uhh N, maybe you should help her up...]

[acuity]

Platina Berlitz. I'll thank you for your help, Mr. Villiers, but I'll have you know I'm still growing.

[ indignant coindump into bag :T ]

[acuity]

O-ow... what?

[ picking self off ground and trying to dust off coat first. PLATINA'S DIGNITY FELL! oh were you saying something. ]

I... ow, I'm on my way to the general store!

[pokesavior]

The general store? Ah, so you can spend it. Of course.

[A grin, thinking he figured it out.] Would you like some help? [gesturing to the mess on the ground.]

[acuity]

Help would be appreciated, but it's... less spending than it is donating. There's no need for currency, remembe--

[acuity]

[ ... waaait a minute you don't have wings. ??? what? ]

[stonewall]

[ 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.

[pokesavior]

[As Platina notices his lack of wings, he notices her wings]

You have wings as well. How strange. [Why are there people with them? And some don't?]
