sparkly, sharp things

[good_ideas]

WHO: Shiho and you! (feat. diamonds, so many diamonds)
WHERE: Anywhere because she wandered far
WHEN: End of January-ish
WHAT: Shiho finally feels well enough again to attempt to hunt down all the diamonds she coughed up because some old crone blessed her and some questing things.
WARNINGS: Blatant destruction of Awash's diamond economy



A. Diamonds, diamonds everywhere
[You are about to take a step. Maybe into your home? Maybe into the library?

Or maybe you're in the middle of nowhere, who knows. But in that exact moment, there's a voice from behind you sounding oh-so-very-concerned.]

Wait, there's a trap!

[There is, of course, no trap. What there will be though, on closer inspection: a tiny diamond sparkling on the ground.]

B. What does she even do with all these diamonds
[Or maybe you beat her to it, the diamond sparkling in your hand. This time though, she draws what looks to be a hairdryer (or if you know better, a Nonlethal Psychometry Gun):]

Drop it.

[What'll she do if you don't drop it?






Threaten to shoot you, probably. She's been laid out sick from the thorns for a few days and she needs to destress, damn it!]

C. Wildcard
[Quests?? Diamond-hoarding? Anything your heart desires.]

I would. Er, if I had them, and forgot to clean up.

[ Sometimes there are stray precious jewels and the like when it comes to her art...and construction. So it didn't regard her as strange at all, because she would do the same thing! It is a simple explanation formulated in her mind. ]

[good_ideas]

Forgetting isn't an excuse though. [Minamoto tells her this all the time.]

Besides, it's kind of an expensive thing to just leave lying all over the place.

[neronian]

[ It's not an excuse but it'd still happen...thanks to herself. ]

Hm, that is true. I thought to myself that someone who would scatter these to the winds like so must be either rather scatterbrained themselves or doing so on purpose, but I have yet to be afflicted after picking some up, so I will take the risk. I spare no expense for the sake of my art!

[ And jewels are nice and shiny anyway! ]

[good_ideas]

[SCATTERBRAINED?!

Shiho takes a deep breath and reminds herself that she does not want half of Chroma knowing she was coughing up diamonds. But at the same time!!!! (half of them already know anyway, it's too late)]

Or maybe they just left them there because they were being chased by the fifth prince that day and didn't have time to worry about stuff like this.

[neronian]

Hm? Did I hit a nerve? Well, you are not wrong about that either. It was a very hectic time.

[ And with that, Nero picks the diamond off the ground, and holds it to the light, examining it. Nothing's happened to her so far. She'll drop it in the pouch in a moment. ]

[good_ideas]

Of course not. I'm not scatterbrained. [She just...........forgot. Briefly.]

Besides, it's always like that here anyway, right? Hectic... then boring... then hectic again. [The diamond is already cut (which Shiho feels like she should protest because how the hell is she coughing up polished diamonds??) and not particularly small in the first place.]

...Well... I guess every single one being picked up is one less on the ground.

[neronian]

Yes! Who knows how many more there are lying around? They will make for beautiful pieces of jewelry...I do love gaudy ornaments. Would you like a finished piece? Lovely maidens deserve equally lovely accessories.

[ She huffs confidently to herself, and certain of the diamond's splendor and relative safety, she pulls a pouch from...Victoria's secret compartment and drops the diamond in there, to join its companions.

Her outfit doesn't have much in the way of pocket space right now, okay. ]

[Lovely?!]

[good_ideas]

[Wait. Why are you storing things in there, Nero!!! Has this girl never heard of pockets? Shiho frowns first at the pouch and then to Nero's face as she stuffs it right back in there.]

I guess. And in return I'll find you an actual handbag you can use.

[neronian]

[ Shiho will take her jewelry made from boob-stored vomit-diamonds, and she will like it!! ]

A wonderful arrangement. Is there any type of adornment in particular you prefer?

[ Necklaces? Bracelets? Earrings? Anklets, maybe? ]

[good_ideas]

[She probably would even knowing where those diamonds come from...]

I don't really have a preference so you can choose as long as you don't make it something weird. [The only bit of jewelry Shiho has right now is a ring anyway.]

[neronian]

[ That means free reign, right? Music to her ears. She hums (off-key) to herself, happily. ]

All right, a bracelet it shall be!

[ Is Shiho going to let her run off with those diamonds??? ]

[good_ideas]

[If she doesn't let her run off with those diamonds, she doesn't get a bracelet though.]

I look forward to seeing it then and I'm putting a lot of trust in you so it better be cute!
