And Cubey's final SRWU OC is...

[duetsavvy]

[1]
Hmm hmm. What's this? I swear that store wasn't there yesterday!

[Brye's on a shopping trip, and you're either there as company/bad habit enabling, or as a pack mule. In latter's case, you get slowly weighted down as she keeps buying things...]

Come on, let's check it out!


[2]
Okay, how to put it so there's no misunderstanding. Let me try, here goes.

[Bryanne is talking to a jerk - some kind of horrible person, high profile or not, doesn't matter. Maybe you're the jerk.]

You're a jerk, you know that.

You're just throwing your weight around like some kind of sandbox bully. But it's not preschool anymore, even if you mentally belong in one.

[Consequences or apparent threat level of the other person make no difference here.]


[3]
Come on... just a little bit closer... just a little more...

[It's a battle, and Brye's Gespenst TT is currently running away from the enemies, juking and dodging wildly to evade their attacks.]

...

There! I have you now!

[But as it passes over a suspicious patch of ground, and the enemies follow - suddenly smoke bombs hidden underneath explode! And they fire more than just smoke... the enemies find their sensors blocked by sticky blobs of tar. Here comes the T-Link Rippers to finish them off!

...

And some of the foes still survive, and fire back quite furiously.]


A, haha... help?

[duetsavvy]

Cute.

[Another poke.]

Not all hats need holes to fit on that head of yours. Just wait and see.

Actually no, no waiting. Follow me!

[And off she goes into the shop.]

[holdthefuture]

Nn...if you say so.

[Lenore's done trying to ask Brye to wait by now. With all these boxes, she follows at the pace of an overloaded jumbo jet trying to make a cross-Atlantic trip.]

[duetsavvy]

[By the time you're done, Brye already scoured the shop.]

Quick, put this on!

[Some kind of peaked visor cap?]

[holdthefuture]

...What is this supposed to be?

[duetsavvy]

It's a hat. And your horns don't get in the way at all!

[holdthefuture]

This is a hat...with a large hole.

[Well, she got her own hopes up there...]

[duetsavvy]

There are other hats here that can fit you but... you don't like it?

[Brye notices the disappointment.]

[holdthefuture]

Ah, I do. You did go through that trouble...

[She hesitates a short while.]

...I should just give up on my dream of wearing a regular-looking one, that's all.

[duetsavvy]

Hmm...

[Brye looks around. Even the most narrow of hats and caps would just be squeezed between the horns, not sitting well and overall looking ridiculous.]

Hold still a little bit, okay?

[But she reaches out towards those horns again, anyway.]

[holdthefuture]

Eh...?

...What do you plan to do?

[duetsavvy]

Just a sec, it will be cute... there.

[Brye takes a step away and gestures at Lenore to direct her towards one of the shop's many mirrors.]

Ta-dah! It's not a hat but what do you think?

[A frilly ribbon is tied around one of the horns, now.]

[holdthefuture]

[This face.]

[duetsavvy]

What do you think? It's not bad, is it?

[Now she's a bit anxious herself.]

[holdthefuture]

...No, it isn't.

This...will do.

[duetsavvy]

I think it fits you. Because... horns do not just get in the way. They can be a charm point, too!

Actually I believe they may have some minihats too, if you're interested.

[holdthefuture]

[She nods at that.]

If you don't mind.
