ic inbox;

[The voice that of the message is probably not the one you expect. And if you're Gilbert, probably causes traumatic flashbacks. It's certainly Break's voice, but a bit high pitched and more comical...]

Hello, this is Emily! You're obviously an idiot who can't even come see someone in person if it's important, but I'll take pity on you anyways. Leave a message and I'll tell the wonderful and charming Mr. Break about it if it's worth it!

[are you sure you even want to leave a message now]

[she's seen way weirder/worse, so she takes it in strides and nods politely in turn!]

Hehe, please don't worry about that, your presence alone is more than good enough! Thank you very much for the warm welcome.

[i like how you even have to mention snooty vampires....... BUT YES stepping in, and she'll be making her way to the table to set the package down! opening the container to show a round and rather simplistic looking almond sponge cake. She'd do more about presentation, but things are hard in Haven, ok. Plus, simplicity could be a good thing! The taste should at least be considered passable to the pickiest eaters, alright...]

Are you by yourself at the moment? [She will take a quick peek around, though. Hm, that sure would be convenient!]

what didn't you read the icon keywords.......

[she'll give a small curtsy and accept graciously! also wave his ~ooh~ off because please it's nothing special... either way, good manners should be reciprocated with good manners! so there we go.]

My, that's thoughtful of you. Were they important errands? Speaking like that though, it sounds like you know the person well, too?

[if Gilbert doesn't double-take first because they already met and are on relatively ok terms... So maybe more along the lines of "Break don't ruin me in front of people who still have a semi-decent opinion of me"??]

those also tend to be the biggest traps ALAS

[blinking up at that!]

Sugar? Do you go through that quickly? [oh no mild flashback episodes again... but right MORE IMPORTANTLY-] And did he leave just for sugar? That seems like a rather frivolous thing to make a whole trip to Haven North for, unless he's got more things he needs to get?

[She'll keep her back straight and maintain a good posture, for however little that may mean.]

You make him sound like a child... You did say you could manage over the phone when we first spoke, but they not that troublesome, are they?

But they do say "pick on the ones you like", you know? If you bully him that much, I'd say it's because you're secretly quite fond of him, despite all the odds and ends. Would that be close to the truth now, mister Break~?

[SHE'S ONTO YOU!!!1]

A stray in the street, or mold over the basement ceiling?

[said with a

perfectly sweet smile...

Oh yes good, she's taking a small tin can out of her bag too.]


Ah, yes! Thank you again for getting things ready, mister Break. I couldn't find any Darjeeling, unfortunately, but I was able to get some black tea with additional herbs from a friend. Are you okay with a bit of hibiscus, rose hip, and chamomile?

[personal profile] expiatrice 2013-03-01 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[and she interprets that laugh as such!! instead of like. Maybe he's too modest and wants to save face in not answering, but no she DOES automatically assume he agrees with both. this is

for the best, right.]


Aha, I tried. [gold star... but yes going to drop in the right amount of leaves, then! She also measures by eye and goes off of estimates, despite bringing a spoon of her own apparently to stir the pot a bit before letting it sit. Shh, it'll turn out okay...!] There aren't that many places, but I did get help from friends and acquaintances here, too. [She'll resume her seat after, sitting straight and proper like ~always~] That said, it's been a while. How have you adjusted to Haven since, mister Break?

[personal profile] expiatrice 2013-03-03 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
[well fake or not tea ceremony club WAS a thing?? So while it's definitely not devoid of a touch of oriental influence, she does it properly!! it's just 3:30 am and i'm too lazy to google up proper tea brewing and describe it in a tag, cut me some slack]

You can never be too careful in a place like this either, though. Speaking of which, something will probably happen roughly a week from now, I think, so any caution is warranted by that point. [A small nod to herself...] Getting food and water hasn't really been a problem, then?

[personal profile] expiatrice 2013-03-04 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
[yep and then The Haven happened... but that's for another time! She nods.]

Let's hope for the best, the last one really shook everyone. Being prepared would be very good too, but that never hurts.

[ah yes back to the smiles n_n] Mm, it's a different sort of lifestyle entirely, isn't it? [not sure how many would casually chalk it off as 'lifestyle', but THERE YOU HAVE IT...] That's a relief, but speaking of food! Would you like a slice of cake now? [She gives a humbling chuckle.] You seemed like you were used to a fancier class of baked sweets, but I do hope this will be passable still?

[personal profile] expiatrice 2013-03-08 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[it's ok she's used to massive derails we're all in good company here...!

She giggles a tad sheepishly, but mostly cheerfully.]


You're just saying that to make me feel better, mister Break. I appreciate the sentiments, but at least give the taste a try before going off to declare something like that!

[Speaking of which let's just assume there are plates already for conveniences' sake and if there wasn't a knife she would've brought one, so SHE HAD EVERYTHING SHE NEEDED to be now handing him a slice.]

[personal profile] expiatrice 2013-03-15 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sitting back down and toying with her fork! Not going to stuff her face yet, gotta look a bit more sober and answer the question after all.]

To my personal experience, 2 instances, but there has been at least two more prior to my own arrival, from what I could gather. [She's been here since end November and apparently came right after something big. Sat in the December and January disturbances, and heard about the one in October. Hm... Close enough?]

[personal profile] expiatrice 2013-03-16 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It is something to consider, yes. Haven North first appeared roughly 8 weeks ago, it was only Haven West before that. In other words, living used to be even harsher, before the North section opened up and became accessible for one reason or another. [a hum.] That time and the one after it disturbed people on very personal levels, it's worrisome to wonder if the trend will persist with what should be coming soon.

[...not worrisome enough to get her to take a sip from her cup again after, though. 's not like shit's going down now after all, y/y?]

[personal profile] expiatrice 2013-03-19 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head.]

What you're saying is perfectly reasonable. In fact, people who were here when the North side was first revealed all have more reasons to be suspicious of it, considering the decay and hallucinations that many have experienced. Nevertheless, it's our only source of fresh food and more luxurious goods, so we can't be picky over the matter.

[Her eyes light up at the reaction too, but she won't address it as she regains her calm fairly quickly to continue the explanation.]

Haven West is what's written at the entrance of the Subway station, the same goes for North on the other side, and you would be correct on that assumption. I wasn't here back then, but I do know that at some point, everyone in the apartment complex has been brought over to Haven East during their sleep for a few days. There was a Hospital there, and people met the doctor Philip Kite for the first time. People then woke back up here the same way they were taken over, Haven East hasn't been reaccessed since. [a beat.] It's the same way how we were taken to Haven North too, as a note.
