Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Hinoiri Kirara was furious. Was going to kill someone. She had a room. She HAD a PRIVATE room. ALL TO HERSELF! And, APPARENTLY, some brat made a case as to why she haaaaad to bunk with Hinoiri. Oh, she was going to make their life Tartarus for this. Play nice? She was DONE playing nice. She was going to rip out their spine and make them DRINK it. Dianora? She was going to be DIE-ING A LOTTA!

Her hands were clenched and she was all but ready to choke the girl when she opened the door. Slowly closing it behind her. "Hello? Dianora-chan?" she called out in a soft, playful tone. For the moment, hiding the ire she felt. "Are you here? It seems there was a bit of a mix-up in the office," she said, struggling to keep the fury out of her voice. The mix-up being she was about to yeet the kid out a window. She was Hinoiri. She did NOT share!

Double Trouble has posed:
"Onee-chan!!" Squeals a familiar voice as an all-too-familiar bundle of pink bounds across the room and leaps up to _hug_ Hinoiri. "Oh I'm so glad I was able to convince them to let me room with _you_, onee-chan!" She lets go and takes a step back and gives Hinoiri the biggest grin, before breaking down in a fit of giggles. Then, not quiet or shy at all, she says, "I could hear you coming down the _hall_."

Then she takes couple of steps back. "I should introduce myself _properly_," she says. Then she does a perfect little curtsey, lifting the hem of her pink dress up just so. "Dianora Toni Lagorio," she says, and makes the cutest doe eyes. They're so _green_. Very cute. "I'm going to be a big star some day! Just you wait and see." Then she cocks her head to the side and strikes a pose with a couple of fingers up in a vee, like one does when one is cute.

Then she breaks down in a fit of giggles, _again_.

Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Hinoiri Kirara blinked a few times. "What the shi--" And then... then she laid eyes on Dianora. And the ire gave way to confusion. Before finally... a small hint of a smirk. Which was good, because suddenly someone was *in her arms*. She stumbled back a bit, but managed to hold the girl up without falling into the door.

When the girl pulled back she just looked down at her, cocking an eye. Then... the smirk faded to become a glare.

But... to Dianora Toni Lagorio? The over the top V? Oh. Oh even she couldn't keep a face straight for *that.* She started laughing, a hand moving to cover her mouth and s truggle to stifle it. But it was a lost cause. Finally, she shook her head and sunk back against the door. An arm lifting over her forehead. "Oh, woe is me," she said in a mock, over dramatic tone. "I am kind to one small brat and generously get her ice cream... and in return, I gain this punishment. Truly, no good deed goes unpunished," she said before shaking her head head and standing up straight, crossing her arms. "Dear heavens you can lay it on thick. I've had cakes that managed to be three hundred percent sugar, it was a space compression spell, don't ask, that were less sugary than that." She reached out a pat her on the head. "You're going to do just fine."

Hinoiri then gave another sigh. "And the fact I technically work with you now likely means I can't just have you have an 'accident'. Oh well. You know, you really had me going there. I was really plotting 'Dianora's' demise. I mean, more than I normally plot the demise of people who get on my good side. But... if I'm going to room with someone, at least it's not a human. But... you're not going to be that *all* the time, are you? Because you would *not* be the first reptile I nearly drowned."

Then she paused. "Wait, you are a reptile, right? Or did you prefer a different term?"

She glanced around, seeing how much, if anything, Dianora had moved in. "... I'm not going to go down the hall and be buried under a mountain of stuffed animals, am I? Because Sora had one of those and, not gonna lie. Not the biggest fan."

Double Trouble has posed:
Dianora giggles then shrugs. "Do I look like a _reptile_?" They giggle some more. "It's about right, though. I like a warm, sunny rock as much as the next chameleon." It sounds so weird hearing that come out of the little girl's mouth in her cute little, quiet voice. Her hand comes up to wrap around the little heart-shaped pendant hanging around her neck. "I'll be like this most of the time, though. It's the _role_, Hinoiri. But don't worry. You'll see plenty of me at work."

There's not a lot of stuff. But there _is_ stuff. For somebody who just showed up in this realm, they have a lot of stuff. Obsidian clearly set her up. Everything is pink. Her bedding, her wardrobe, her _entirely reasonable_ vast mountain of stuffies. All of it so incredibly pink. She's really committed to the color. She even has several pairs of pink shoes in her closet. So. Very. Pink.

"Anyway, you said you didn't have a roommate, and the thought of you being so lonely just kept me up at night, onee-chan," she says, those green eyes going wide into puppy-dog mode. Maximum woobie. "So I did what I had to do."

Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Hinoiri Kirara gave a small nod. "Well, in the end I think strangling a child might go against the image I'm trying to create, so I'll hold my murderous intentions back for now. By the stars," Hinoiri said when she peaked into the room. "Okay, new rule. No. Glitter. Nipping that one in the bud now because YOU would have way too much fun with it and I would spend way too much time trying to clean it out. Is that... holy... ha. Ha ha. Ah ha ha ha," Hinoiri said before shaking her head.

"Well, I'll give you props. You are *committed*. It looks like someone murdered a pair of wedding cakes and their extended family in there," she said before giving a shudder and picking up a little stuffed pink unicorn. Her eye twitched slightly. "Now *this* is just *offensive*. Our horns are the same color as our coats. Second of all, if one was actually *this* pink they'd at least see a hair dresser. Third of all... Damn. I'm actually impressed. I'm going to hate you, little Dianora-chan, aren't I?" she asked before stuffing the unicorn into the little girl's arms and sighing.

"And you know, I told you to be the little sister of someone nice. Buuuut, then, I did buy you ice cream immediately after. So this one is probably on me." She peaked into her own room just to make sure the pink hadn't spread like some kind of infectious disease. Whew. Okay. Her stuff wasn't really here yet, but that'd be fine.

Then, into the front room. Stared at the love seat. And then just sighed. "Fucking figures," Hinoiri said before walking to it and sitting on it. "First thing in this world that actually LOOKS like it's from my world. And it's a heart-shaped loveseat that has more pink than... well. Anything, really. Bravo. Just. I am impressed. I mean, sure, I want to take it all out and burn it for the afront on my eyes. But still, you're commited and I can respect that. Even if I may have to have 'Dianora' committed later." She then glanced towards the mirror. "Also, I had one of those too. Haven't really done it much since coming here."

"I do, however, have some good news. I went ahead and signed up for my after-school activities today. You're looking at a proud new member of the yearbook committee. I'm sure the two of us will be able to find something we can do with that. but, before that..." Deep breath. "If we're going to be room mates... we should probably sort some things out. You know, signs to let the other person know 'Hide your shit'. If I'm trying to do something like, create a familiar or something or summoning eldritch entities, you likely don't want to accidentally get involved in that. And..." Then she blinked. "I don't honestly know what things you'd want privacy for, but I'm sure there are things. Also, I'm a vegetarian, so like... warning now. I don't mind if you eat meat around me. I just can't stand the texture. Ummmm..." Then shivered. "Oh. Right. There's an amulet in my room, and a book. Careful if you touch either of them, they'll burn. They really do not like dark energy and might disrupt your transformation. And if any of your pink stuffies find their way into my room, I will burn them with wanton delight."

Double Trouble has posed:
Dianora accepts that stuffed unicorn and then pets it and whispers to it, very quietly, "I still love you. Don't worry." And then sets it back down with the rest of her emotional support plushies. Very committed. It's a whole _role_.

She follows back out into the front room and giggles. "You should sit on it. It's _very_ comfy," she says. And with a voice like hers, it's obvious it must be true. As cute as she is, she couldn't possibly lie. It is comfy, though.

"They don't know it, but I'm about to take the Drama Club by storm," Dianora says, all full of a confidence she doesn't usually display. "Because that's what I am, Hinoiri. I'm a _thespian_." May not look like Double Trouble, but that chameleon is clearly in there.

She listens to all of Hinoiri's rules, and then smiles. She skips right back up to Hinoiri and pushes up onto her tippy toes putting her hands against Hinoiri's shoulders and leaning in to whisper. "Just accept the glitter into your soul, Hinoiri. It'll be easier that way."

Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Hinoiri Kirara just put her feet up on the loveseat. Then paused. Shrugged. Honestly, she didn't know how shoes worked with this. "Yeah, it is pretty comfortable. And oh dear heavens... The drama club isn't going to stand a chance. They're supposed to be kids and they're getting a professional. Tell you what, when I return gloriously to my throne? Maybe I'll have a job for you there if you want it. I can always use people who are good at what they do." At the very least she was taking it in stride. Even reaching out to lightly pat Dianora when she came close. However...

When the girl leaned in to whisper, she cocked an eye. She gave a light snort... before reaching up and putting a hand on the back of her neck and giving a push, to throw her off balance and hopefully tip her towards Hinoiri. And then hold her there.

"Back home we had festivals, you know. Glitter cannons. Sora LOVED glitter. She was weird like that. I spent *weeks* getting it out of my coat and mane. And that was with magic. Very magically repellent, you know. So let me make this clear. If you ever glitter bomb us, I will begin to study the pressure differential required to break a leg versus an arm. And you will make the most *excellent* of subjects. Are we clear?" she asked with an almost genuinely affectionate smile.

Then let her go. "But other than that, I say this with the utmost respect. If I didn't know that this was an act, I would desperately want to dangle you out a window by your ankles by now. Tartarus, even now I want to do it and I know what's under that sweet little cupcake of a face you got going on there." She gave her cheek a little pinch. "I really need to be careful who I offer ice cream to, huh?"

Then blinked. "Oh. Wait. You're still new to this world. Oh. I've got quite the treat for you later," she said, before giving her nose a little boop. "Does your world have something called... Curry?"

Double Trouble has posed:
Glitter isn't forbidden, just _glitter bombing_. That's a very clear boundary that's very easy not to cross. "Okay, onee-chan, I promise no glitter bombing," Dianora says, solemnly. She listens to the rest and giggles. "It was fate, Hinoiri. You were the first person I ran into after Ted. That means we're gonna be besties. That's just how these stories work." She really does take this whole metaphor quite far. The whole world's a stage and all.

Oh it's going to be absolute hell for sure.

But then Hinoiri is asking about...food? "Curry? Is curry a food? Tell me? Better yet, take me somewhere and feed me."

Hinoiri Kirara has posed:
Hinoiri Kirara nodded, giving a small, relaxed smile. She may very well dangle the kid out of a window later. And she could almost *feel* the fact there was going to be some glitter in her future. But so long as it was... contained... well enough... she could survive.

However, the comment on besties makes her give a light snort. "Oh, I'm certain you and I are going to be the absolute best. After all, where's a performer without a proper audience? And where's a sovereign without good entertainment?" she asked before giving another chuckle.

She then hopped to her feet before heading towards her room. "Yeah... I need to get my stuff in here as well. It'll take a bit, though. Ugh. I'm going to need to steal a bed... hm. Actually..." Dark energy formed in her hand. "Yeah, I'm... not doing the whole moving thing. No royal guards to move all of it for me, anyway. But..." She glanced back toward Dianora.

"We'll grab something quick and maybe we'll swing by the curry place later. I think you'll like it. Korma Chameleon." If that wasn't a sign, what was? But first... she had to move all her shit.
