[One minute Akira is in the kitchen alone and the next he blinks and there's a soft jingle as Peach appears before him. There's a pot on the stove and a cutting board on the counter but her attention goes to Akira immediately. There's an unsure smile because she's trying her best but wow this weekend sure was. A mess. ]
[but hey! when she arrives, Peach will find that there's a second mug of coffee sitting on the counter for her. Akira nudges it a little bit just so there's no mistake about who it's for, too]
"Sir?" Just call me Akira. "Sir" is way too formal.
[Akira rings the bell in the kitchen and Peach comes in from the dining room with a few dirty plates in a bin. Work to be done, etc! But she spots Akira and she perks up considerably.]
Good morning, Akira! There's extra coffee if you'd like some. [There's a nod toward the coffee pot on the counter.]
[ The bell rings in the music room, and it almost feels like the sound is right at home there. Probably because this is a room made to play music in. It takes very little time for Plum to show up, as usual ... what's unusual is that she does not show up suddenly next to him and simply walks in calmly, curtsying when she sees Akira ]
Good afternoon, sir. Was there something you needed?
[as usual, Akira has prepared some chamomile tea in advance! he made sure that the cups wouldn't spill all over the music equipment before bringing it into the room, he promises. also. . . he's standing by the pipe organ. mysterious]
Hey, Plum.
[NO HONORIFICS. he gestures to the organ and asks]
[Surprisingly Peach isn't in the kitchen for once. She's in the drawing room already and seems to be on the floor behind one of the couches with a pad of paper and a pencil. The drawing pad is pretty big and covering most of her face but she uses the hand not holding her pencil to wave! Hello!]
[ Akira is really out there making cute bunnies walk up eight million steps to the astronomy tower, huh. Well, despite how tall it is, Plum is there just as promptly as usual when he rings the bell!!!
She curtsies and isn't trying to jumpscare him this time, though ]
Hello, sir. Is this a social call?
[ she may not know his name but at least she recognizes akira's calling card. hehe. get it ]
[Akira will ring the bell in the garden and he'll hear and echoing bell from somewhere else in the garden. Give it a moment, Peach is sitting up from her warm place in the sun to immediately bound her way over.]
[hi peach!! he is sitting out in the garden on a bench, stretching out his new fancy chrome and cybernetic-ish in appearance leg. it's heavy so he isn't walking on it yet, but he is at least flexing at the knee to test said weight]
[Akira rings the bell in front of the Master bedroom and...the door swings open? It's a little dark inside, but it seems as though there's something of a living room/guest area that he's entering. He can't quite see yet, but soon he'll hear a soft, echo-y voice as chills run up his spine.]
[carefully, slowly, a bit warily, Akira steps inside with his prosthetic leg first. he stops as soon as that chill courses down his spine, chin lifted]
[ unlike her previous summons, there's a sense of trepidation from pumpkin as she steps into the game room today... she is very much the definition of constant vigilance right now!! ]
If you're seriously calling me here just to bully me then I'm turning around right now!!
[Well. Akira will hear the bell from Peach before he sees her and she seems to be coming down from the fifth floor as she approaches. She's also wearing the beanie Plum made for her. She spots Akira though and she gives him a slight smile.]
I didn't think I'd find you back here for a while.
[ASSUMING THIS IS POST-MINI-EVENT, ETC...Akira rings the bell in front of Blue's door and it swings open. The lights are already on this time and Blue blinks up at Akira softly.]
[Akira totally doesn't answer the door immediately, but Plum will hear the sounds of one very exhausted thief thumping around as he drags himself out of FORT ASSHOLE THE PILLOW FORT and to the front door]
[and when he get there, the doors swings open, and he looks like. . .]
