∞ 90: Snowy springs [action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Takes place on the 28th.

Part of him is still surprised he made the suggestion a few days ago. If he tried to look for excuses, he could think of many -- the season, the new arrival of an ocean, the constant talk about holidays and good cheer. But whatever the reason, he had suggested to his housemates that they take their gift exchanging to an admittedly strange location: the mountain hot springs. And they had all agreed to it.

So in the early morning, he can be found in the clothing store looking for ... a pair of slippers. By noon, he will be on the way to the rec center to try out the teleporter and scope out the mountain hot springs for the first time.

And by mid-afternoon, he will be up in the mountains with his brother and Raine. Belatedly celebrating a holiday they don't know. Perhaps even celebrating the plaza fountain returning to normal after being shifted to resemble Bil for four days.]

[And that... that is the man she talked to and the one named Albert Silverberg. Nina grins a little to herself, because she spots him from a distance as she's in town, a little bone (from a bird, probably) hanging out of her mouth. She ejects the thing and advances on into the shop, being covert and quiet like.

He intention - one which she will probably succeed in unless she slips up somewhere or Albert is much more attentive than she is giving him credit for, is to get behind the Silverberg and put a finger into his back, simulating a simple stabbing. Yes, she just decided to faux-assassinate you, Albert]

[Though he is not hyper-attentive by any means, he's attentive enough to hear the door open shortly after he enters the store. He tilts his head to one side, stopping in his tracks as he feels the finger at the back of his neck.

If Nina allows him to, he will take a minute step forward so he can turn around look at his "attacker." His expression is neutral.]

Good morning, Miss Parker.

[Yeah, he's allowed. She retracts the hand and smirks a little] I give myself Four out of five. The door made too much noise, right?

[He nods slightly, looking Nina over and taking in her form -- not that recognizing it will help in possible encounters with another of her forms.] No one sees any reason to oil the hinges of store doors.

Might have to get one that myself if it's gunna cause me problems like that. [She shakes her head lightly, before snorting lightly. Sharp, so sharp]

You may develop a reputation as some sort of maintenance worker. [A faint joke. He wonders if she simply wished to see him in the flesh.]

Would give me a fun day job.

[Blase. And yes, in the flesh.. a good once - well thrice - over is in order. And then, lightly, she's going to point a finger between his eyes. Zooming in closer with it. Let's see how you react, Albert]
