001 ☂ The space between . . .

WHO: Allison Hargreeves + YOU
WHERE: Maurtia Falls & Nonah
WHEN: Across May
WHAT: Various prompts
WARNINGS: Hargreeves sibling appearances.




1. Maurtia Falls, Housing #2
(Beginning/Middle of the Month)

Allison's always quiet now -- having sliced vocal cords does that -- but after the dreams finally stop being shared and stop tearing the world around them into pieces, creating places, people, things, and everything one didn't want to see (or share, like her nightmares about Claire and how deeply rooted her therapists voice has stapled itself inside her head), she's even quieter at the place that is supposed to be sort of hers.

A feeling of exposure that only highlights one of too much greater distance.

At the very least she can be grateful there is always scotch in among all the things in this house.




2. Nonah, The Coffee Shop & Others Nearby
(Anywhere in the Month)

Coffee stills happens with Vanya on a regular basis, and it's become a little smoother there, too, since Jacob showed her how to use the Mental Network. That she relies on it to give her some facsimile of a voice with her family, but most of all with Luther and Vanya. She's grown fond of the little coffee shop, though there's a freeze in her ordering the day she recognizes the girl behind the counter at the coffee shop suddenly from her, their, shared dream.

Another time, inspired by the coffee morning trip of the week and no want to actually get to her job, she ends up wandering down the streets from Vanya's place, reading the names of the stores on the doors and signs. There's a glove she'd like to have made into bracelet but she isn't entirely sure if one, it's even possible, and two, what store title would even imply someone could or would.




3. Nonah, The Hargreeves House
* Closed until after the network post goes up
(Move In-through-end-of-Month)

Requesting a house, especially one as large as they'd applied for and been granted, feels almost too permanent.

Allison can hide it in her silence, physically imposed by her injury and self-imposed by almost two months now with few words even the way she can now, watching those of her brothers that were all in immediately bring things in, starting to make the empty space more full, and in setting up rooms that won't be touched for their siblings who every reason not to want to be there. But Allison is making them room anyway.

Rooms that won't be touched or used for anything but them. If, and when, that day ever comes.



It feels right to be closer. But something under still feels wrong. Even more than before.

Harry spends time in each Import City, doing investigations and working with others. And of late, recovering from the madness. And today, being worried, very worried, about a certain person who is missing.

So it is a Harry with muffins and a very, very large coffee who spots Allison at the shop and smiles. Distraction is very good, yes.

"Allison." He wades through the usual crowd, making his way through them with his height and casual willingness to gently move them.

As he arrives at her side, he fishes out a sight that should not surprise her, now, anyway; a pad of paper and a pen. His grin is lopsided as he sees her.

The text box makes Harry stare, and grin, and then shake his head with a boyish smile that de-ages him a lot, and he nods to her.

"It's just me. When I know something can happen, I prepare for it. Now that I know you use pens and notepads, I carry one just for you when I go out. I always carry some kind of writing thing, for notes, but this is just me being prepared."

He jabs a finger at the text box.

"That is new. A power given by this place?" He is delighted. And already wondering how it works, and how to enhance it.

[personal profile] iminthebook 2019-05-14 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Harry hmms, and concentrates, thinking, working it out in his head, staring at her, with a lightly disconnected look, as his hands move just so.

And there in front of her appears the screen, and he grins.

Now that could be convenient.

He nods, and switches back to speech. "Do you mind if I still talk like this?"
iminthebook: (Thinky)

[personal profile] iminthebook 2019-05-15 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
It could be a Harry motto too, come to think of it.

He waves a hand at a table nearby. "Care to sit down and sip and talk?" He nods to her.

"At least the world is not exploding around us, this time." She makes him smile with her depth of expression. Many people do not communicate so well as she does with mostly expressions, and he likes it. And he needs a distraction.

Kurt has to admit, he kind of likes human coffee, especially with plenty of cream and sugar. He can see how easy it was for Jonathan to get addicted to junk food. The coffee they serve at the convenience store he works at sucks.

Still in the habit of wearing his human disguise when he goes out, he comes out of the establishment with a mocha in hand, nearly running into a familiar human.

"Oh hey, it's you, from the moon."

"Between you and me, I think next time we get invited up there, I'll pass." His first Swear-In, and it ends in a robot attack. It took hours for Kurt to regenerate the parts of his skin suit that got damaged.

He takes a sip of his mocha, licking a bit of whipped cream off his upper lip. Jonathan thinks he needs to socialize with humans more, so here he is, making an effort.

"It's funny, but in my world, humans have only gone to their moon like twice." Despite wearing the skin suit, Kurt doesn't even really try to hide that he's an alien when in conversation. The disguise is more to keep himself from being mobbed by his new fans, because they're less likely to mob what looks like an ordinary human than an obvious Reptilian.

Kurt just takes another sip of his drink, watching as she juggles her things to get out her notepad. He found himself wondering why humans put so much effort into new technology to make life more convenient, but apparently there wasn't anything to help a mute person communicate easier besides a notepad.

"Yeah, I'm actually Reptilian."

Kurt lets his eyes revert to their natural look, the iris and white turning yellow and the pupils slitting.

Nonah's a lot bigger than Iris remembered. While she's never hated the city, she rarely spends time within its borders - Heropa had been home for over two years now, and De Chima housed her work. Nonah, the Falls, and Jeopardy had often fallen by the wayside as a result. But lo and behold, an upcoming fundraiser had had asked her to visit Nonah to order some goodies for gift baskets - and well, she had taken the opportunity to linger around.

Why not? She never gets the chance to sit down and really feel city life, especially down in North Carolina. As she glances around a niche boutique - the kind that offers cute clothes at way too expensive prices - she can't help grinning at another girl.

"I love window browsing here," she admits, stuffing her hands in her pockets as she holds up a couple of necklaces. "But honestly, in these places, only the jewelry ends up being affordable."
eloquentness: (contemplative)

[personal profile] eloquentness 2019-05-22 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh boy, maybe she had said something wrong? Iris pauses, giving the young woman beside her a curious glance. As far as she knew, all she had made was an idle comment about... jewelry? Maybe that had been the issue, her speaking in English? Or maybe she wasn't feeling talkative?

(No, even those types said as much to her face.)

"So um, if you had to get the one on the left or the one on the right, which would you spring for?" And here, she pauses, thinking quickly, "Also, if you can't speak English, it's okay. I can speak any other language. Seriously - any."

It's all about the other person's comfort at the end of the day, right?
eloquentness: (got it from here)

no worries!! life happens, and i hope things settle down to manageable levels

[personal profile] eloquentness 2019-05-31 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh."

Three words were enough to re-frame this entire conversation. Iris pauses, her expression falling as she realizes what kind of assumptions she had made. She sets down the necklaces, no longer caring about them, and holds out her hands.

"I'm sorry," she says, her hands also signing along in perfect American Sign Language, as if she's both fluent and an interpreter. "I shouldn't have made that assumption. Um... if you can sign, just nod."

If not, well - Iris knows people who could help. Never too late to learn, even if it may not help her with the vast majority of the world's population.

fingers crossed

Chloe's far from the little girl Allison saw in their dream. She's in her late thirties, speaking with an Australian accent to the customers in front of Allison in line, and wearing jeans and a V-neck tee instead of a lehenga and blouse. But she does still wear the same red beads and Ganesha charm, and when Allison reaches the front of the queue, her eyes widen in recognition.

"Ah - hi, welcome to :re Supply," she says, falling back into retail training as a safer topic. "What can I get you today?"

[personal profile] mostlyprofessional 2019-05-25 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
The notepad confuses her at first, since she remembers this woman speaking in the dream, but as she punches the order into her till, she figures she has a sore throat or lost her voice or something.

She's about to read the order off her POS system when she catches the second note.

Well, she does have her name on her nametag.

"Frazer with a zed," she says, though she's not really sure how that's relevant to the coffee order.
mostlyprofessional: (Renato Dall'Ara)

all good! June got busy for me

[personal profile] mostlyprofessional 2019-06-08 11:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Don't worry about it," she says, still mildly confused. She reads off the order and total before giving her a considering look.

"Is there, ah, anything else I can help you with...?"

The only time she's been asked her surname at work before has been imPort fans trying to place her, and Price certainly hasn't been one of the options. She notices there isn't a kids' drink in the woman's order, but it's not like everyone in a person's life gets ported in, and this place certainly isn't a great place for children anyway.
