[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... Wow, this girl was insufferable. This was taxing her greater moral thoughts: sure, she did wrong and offered to make it right, but like. Was this even worth it? The insults, the attitude, all of it. She started to look around, attempting to look for a way out. "If the rest of your clothes carry as many threads or less than what you've got on, I wouldn't want to touch them, anyways. It's bad enough I've got people trying to encourage me to dress 'cute' more often." She shuddered, shaking her head. "Auden included. He's been trying to encourage me to do a shoot. Says I've got that 'peppy' vibe that would look good." She shook her head, sighing. "Besides, you have nothing that I'm jealous of. You seem to be the vapid and vain type, another person that's going to get their license and be absolutely useless in the field. As if we didn't already have a lot of that..." What excuse could she make to get away? She already realized that she didn't have class...maybe she could pretend she got a call. Yeah...yeah, that could work. She'd stop, reaching into her pocket (yay pockets!) and pulled out her phone, squinting at it like it might be on silent before opening it and bringing it to her ear. "Hello?" hikari

jun, peppy? laugh out loud OUTRAGEOUS. possibly the funniest thing hikari's heard that day. in fact, when jun lets those words fall from her lips, the redhead can't help but burst into a fit of laughter, her stomach cramping and her arms across her abdomen and her back bent down underneath the weight of her own humor. common decency interdicts hikari from knocking jun to the ground and spitting in her face like they're in preschool, but there's no doubt that she intends her voice to do that very thing; like a delicate rose, she's lined herself in thorns, beautiful in concept, but dangerous in action, just as eager to bite as she is to please. "model? you?" hikari guffaws. she takes a brief moment to wip a tear from the corner of her eye as condescending mirth thickens into poison on her tongue. "auden must not have very good taste if he's choosing you to be a model. i mean, really, you looked like a drowned rat who dressed herself in the dark, and you don't smell much better. what are you, the diversity hire? need a few uggos to round out the pack? tbh, i would only hire you to make the real models look good."[break][break]

hikari cocks her hips to the side, and she straightens, crossing her arms across her chest. somewhere out there, some cosmic entity is apologizing desperately, hoping for retribution—i'm sorry, i'm sorry, this may be her at her best. afterall, how do you interact with a girl who grew into an inflated sense of ego as a defense mechanism? how do you talk down a woman with fiery red hair who had every good part of her killed in an incident she can't remember? like the hue of her hair, she's alight with condescension. vanity, and every trait one would hate to see in a hero. at the very least, though, she's honest with herself.[break][break]

"everybody wants to be me, even if they don't realize it," hikari fires back. all vestiges of polite conversation evaporate within seconds. "but who in the world would want to be you? you have next to no presence, you do things without thinking, and you hurt people in some dumb, misguided attempt at proving yourself. you have no honesty with yourself, and i think, truthfully, you know nobody would ever bother being around you if you were. say whatever you want about me, but at the very very least, i know who i am, and i'm not afraid to show it."[break][break]

at hikari's very last breath, in comes a silenced telephone call. fake or not—which hikari highly suspects it is a fake call, if only because people have done this before to try and escape her—her eyes narrow and a sickly sweet, saccharine smile curls across her lips. "oh, and to add to everything else, you run away when the going gets tough," hikari hisses with a grin. "how heroic, jun."

[attr="class","bmsk"] in blackest night... If there was one thing that Jun was good at, it was allowing her imagination taking hold. And so, upon "answering" her phone, she imagined her father on the other end of the line. "Hi, Jun-bug! Sorry for calling so early in the day, I have a favor to ask!" "Hey, Dad! It's fine, what do you need?" "I need a specific type of steel coloring for a casement gun, but the name of it escapes me. Can you order it for me? I'll make it up to you in a week from now." "Sure! You going to pick it up after work?" "If possible! I might forget again, but send me a text anyways. I appreciate this, Bug, love you!" "Love you too!" she 'hung up', turning to look over at Hikari. She had registered that she was talking, but...what did she say? She didn't know, but she had an 'excuse' to get away now. "Sorry, I'm gonna have to raincheck this date. I've gotta go find something for my dad that is time sensitive, but I'll make it up to you, I promise!" She winced a little, realizing what exactly she had just done. She needed to limit her interactions with Hikari, not promise future ones. Then again, that was the whole idea behind this, right? Postpone the pain for later? "Uh, anyways, it was...nice? Meeting you? Um. Bye!" And unless stopped, she'd would begin to head off in a different direction. hikari
