symphonia test.

[centripetal]

[ so, somewhere in Holly Heights, there is a girl setting up a checkered blanket on the driveway. not really the place to have a picnic, but she doesn't seem to realize that.

approach? ]

Comments

[centripetal]

Sorry... [ but she does take that hand, slowly getting up to her feet and dusting off her dress.

oh, but-- now she's really looking at this redheaded chosen and noticing... you know, a certain red mark. ]

Did you get sunburn, Zelos?

[mangel]

[Wow... Colette is pretty oblivious to what happened. Oh well, not her fault!]

Um, not exactly...

[centripetal]

If you're burnt, you shouldn't stay outside!

[ she's looking down at the picnic blanket and basket, then back up at zelos. ]

Maybe... Do you think I could bring the picnic inside?

[mangel]

[Just to poke fun at her, he puts his hand to his chest in surprise]

Colette! Who knew you could be so daring! I'll gladly take the invitation!

[centripetal]

[ a nod. totally unaffected by this, and just going on to try and fold the blanket as quickly as she can. go go go. ]

I'll fold this up, and then...

[mangel]

[Oh Colette... you're just special.]

[he feels a little rejected. He's just going to droop his head in defeat.]

Didn't even get a chance...

[centripetal]

[ finally done! she brings the newfound square of folded blanket to her chest, before she glances at zelos curiously.

chance...? did he mean... ]

Don't worry! You'll get a chance when we get inside.

[ she means a chance to eat the food. ]

[mangel]

[WHY DOES NO ONE GET HIS JOKES.]

[he blinks at her. What? Really? But, he looks at the basket and finally understands...]

Oh... you mean the food...

[Oh Colette... you pure, pure soul]

[centripetal]

[ because you durtay, zelos. she's going over to the basket and picking it up carefully. hopefully this whole 'balancing-basket-and-blanket' thing works out well... ]

Mhm. I understand even if you're a little shy to ask, Zelos. [ walking to the door. ]

[mangel]

[Seems like Colette is having a bit of trouble here. He's gonna be a gentleman and help out.]

Need some help?

[He takes the basket and grins to her as he walks ahead]

[centripetal]

[ oop, that was fast! she was going to say that it was okay, but he's a little too fast for her as she rushes to catch up. ]

It's all right!

[mangel]

Too late!

[He lifts the basket out of her reach. He turns to her and sticks his tongue out as he winks.]

Better luck next time.

[centripetal]

[ zelos you're going to make her trip... but she's going to follow him a bit more until they're at the front door, and outstretching her hand even more.

she will win. ]

Almost there...!

[mangel]

[He tiptoes so he can keep it from her. Zelos, you tease.]

Oooooh! So close, but not quite!

[centripetal]

[ darn you tall people. again, again-- before she shrinks a bit, only looking up.

another reach up, but she's not trying quite as hard. ]

I think I lost.

[mangel]

Well, you can't win them all! Maybe next time, my dear Colette.

[he continues towards the door. Putting the arm with the basket to his side]
