｢ ooc: Handwaving introductions, since that probably will happen in one of the earlier threads we have going ｣
One of the guys you are looking for, the scarred one who doesn't speak much. Is it because he's deaf?
[ Look he might have a run-in with someone fitting the description. That it happened in a dream is a different case, but his first meeting with Alex was also in a Dream so... ]

[ another day, another session of deliveries and surveys— and a tremendous amount of running. that!!! doesn’t bother noya, rather he enjoys it with unbelievable vigor as he goes from house to house. this door isn’t any different as noya jounces over to give it plenty of knocks and await its opening with a bright face and postal vest as orange as his volleyball uniform. ]
Good mor— mah—
[
she’s gorgeous
and noya just stares, trying to speak, and all that comes out between the papers in his hand, his script and the customer, he . . . . he wings it. ]
H-hi!

H-hi!
Are you sure it was him? Did he tell you his name? Did he say anything else?
[ Yeah, but even she had to wonder if there were limits to all the crazy and coincidences. ]

[ Alex was just about to get ready to head out to one of her part time jobs when someone came knocking. Was it Nel? She didn't pop in during this time, though. When she opens the door, she doesn't see someone right away, but she does see some tufts of hair.
That has her looking downwards, her eyes widening in surprise at finding a young boy standing there. He seemed to freeze for a moment, so she wonders if maybe he realized he was at the wrong place?
But then he greets her. ]
Hello. [ She smiles, hoping to make it less awkward for him. ]
Can I help you with something?

Can't guarantee it was him. And if I did learn his name it went away when I woke up.
Look, I know it's weird shit. But since I met a lot of people in a Dream so I thought...[ He thought what? That this means anything? That this guarantees the guy appearing here? He sighs, just to himself. The whole "Dream" experience did put him on edge. ] I thought you should know just in case.

[ down. look down. please look dow— yes.
her smile!!! look at her smile. it makes nishinoya’s grin spread wider than his cheeks could hold, fumbling with his words but hardly frowning at the fact. hold on, he’ll get right, holding the papers up to show her. with great enthusiasm!! ]
Poll!! Ma’am! I, ah, [ HE’S GOT THIS!!! not awkward at all!! ] I’ll read it! That okay?

[ Uneasiness was starting to set in. Was it, or wasn't it? And if it was, what did that mean?]
thank you. you didnt have to do that
[ She should be grateful for that--is grateful. ]

[ She should be grateful for that--is grateful. ]
[ His grin and energy were enough to make her smile even more. Such a sunny personality, how could she say no?]
Oh--sure, of course! Go ahead.
[ She clasps her hands behind her, eagerly waiting. ]

[ here he goes. you know, he almost forgets to speak with how much he keeps gawking at her, but holding the paper up near his face, he. peels his eyes away, as much as he doesn’t want to.
—sharp inhale! ]
Are you happy with your hair? How would you describe it?

[ She found herself quietly cheering him on as he prepared himself to speak--
And that, was not what he expected her to ask. ]
Um...I..yes, I guess so? It's..manageable?
[ Skeptical as she was about the poll, she still hoped to answer it properly. ]

It’s beautiful.
[ 👍 but, right!! writing that down, and now to the next! ]
Would you change it if you had the chance, in any way? Color, texture, etc., please ask why if yes. [ never mind that he’s reading this straight off the paper and probably isn’t supposed to, but looks up expectantly anyway. ]

[ He asks her the next question before she can even react to the compliment. ]
I haven't really thought about that...Maybe I'd try a shorter hair style? Ah, but is that part of what you meant by changing it?
[ She sees some movement from the corner of her eye, but if someone was there, they weren't anymore. Still, she knows the old residents weren't too pleased about them moving in, and she didn't want any trouble with this boy around. ]
Why don't you come inside? I can answer the rest of your questions there. That way you can be more comfortable.
[ Alex makes sure to keep smiling and to remain calm, not wanting to worry him if he hadn't noticed anything. ]

I'm not sure how to answer how much but I do trust you?
[ A good amount anyway. But she's a little confused by the sudden question. ]

Thank you.
[ The 'thanks' is tacked on but no less sincere. Nel is careful to write nothing that hints at the tension prickling up her neck. ]
Do you understand that all I do has a reason?

I do but this sounds very serious. Is everything alright Nel?
Yes.
I’m fine.
Everything is as settled as it can be.

[ Nel. Nel. She is not convinced. ]
As can be? so something did happen?
As can be? so something did happen?
A problem was taken care of. Someone else's recklessness.
Sleep well tonight, Alex.
Sleep well tonight, Alex.
[ Except Alex wasn't going to sleep. Not when Nel was being cryptic like that! Something was wrong and Alex was going to get to the bottom of it.
Or top, since Nel's room is on the second floor.
She stares up at the window from down below. Should she shout? No that might wake up the others..It's why she didn't go through the front door. Maybe she should throw a rock? But what if she breaks the window?
She looks at the side of the wall. There was..enough footing, and things to grab on to. She could probably make it... For Nel, she would!
Rolling her sleeves back, she finds a foothold and starts to slowly make her way up, a few slips here and there, but she was almost to the window!
But the moment she touches the window sill, some invisible force hits her like a sandbag and down she falls with a scream. So much for subtle.
Thank god there was a bush down below. ]

[ The scream continues from a dream and into the waking world. Her eyes fly open when the alarm spell—and the ward-trap—triggers, to powerful effect.
High above Alex's poor, bruised body, one of the glass doors swings out. Nel's face and the glint of four sharp somethings in her fist appear just past the sill, cold fury and the promise of violent retribution, until that sweet face is recognized. ]
Alex?
You— fool. I'm coming. [ And she is. Right now. Immediately, just a drop and parkour roll across the grass next to her bush. ]

Ow, ow, ow..
[ Alex winces as she tries to prop herself up. Her ears perk up at hearing the windows open, and she looks up to find a very unhappy looking Nel peeking outside. She shrinks bad, very much ashamed of her current state.
Nel's landing was a 10 compared to her zero. ]
..H-hey, Nel.
[ She waves awkwardly, attempting to smooth over the whole fiasco. ]

[ The keyword for Alex here is 'try', as a sudden weight planted squarely across her chest is on account of Nel's hand. She presses her flat. ]
Don't move until I know what you've done to yourself.
[ Anger rides just below the surface of her preternatural calm, an acidic sort of softer accusation. Nel's magic oozes from bone to bone in search of fractures, hairline or worse. ]
