[bg=#000000]"Awww, you're such a party-pooper, Mari-chaaan! I guess it's fine then... sigh..." Natsumi mumbled in mock sadness as she grabbed onto Mari's hand, looking into the closet. "You should wear this dress! It's super adorbs and would toootally fit you right now!" Natsumi laughed as she grabbed out what appeared to be a random dress, flinging it at Mari. She pretended as if the thing before had never happened. She didn't want it to have happened. If Mari knew, it would only trouble her further. She laughed and smiled as she went about her morning with Mari, getting dressed, eating breakfast and finally, they were somewhat ready to go as they stumbled to the door, putting on their shoes. They ran to HQ together, hand in hand, but slowed down considerably once they got inside and felt the heavy atmosphere.
That's when they noticed who, of all people, had arrived there. Natsumi was shocked to see Kimura after so long, not to mention cooking in their kitchen. She didn't know how to react but squeeze Mari's hand even harder. They both ended up sitting down in the living room, Natsumi pulling Mari against her shoulder. She wasn't sure if she was trying to comfort her friend or herself. She didn't really know who to ask or talk to. So far, she couldn't see Avery there. Hm. She did say that she might not be there when they reached the HQ, so maybe that was why. Regardless, quite a few people were in the kitchen with Kimura; Fujiko, Azalea and Remi, among others. Natsumi smiled reassuringly at Mari.
"Let's go see what they're cooking up!" She couldn't stand seeing the frown on Mari's pretty face, and pulled her towards the kitchen. That's when the rest of the people noticed that they were there, they had been pretty absorbed with the food, after all. "Ohh, so it was curry, after all! I thought I could smell it!" She knew that she had to say something to Kimura, but nothing really came to mind. Anger didn't seem like a solution when she thought about it, after all... she didn't want to see any frowns.
"So... Kimura. How's things been over there?" She decided to ask. She knew it wouldn't be the best question out there, but hey, better than getting angry, right?! She hoped so, at least... sigh. Being a cheerful person all the time really could ruin her mood sometimes. She always thought about how to make others happy, and rarely thought about whether she herself was feeling happy. Was that stupid? She believed it was probably pretty stupid.
"Mmm...." A lot of things had changed from one day to another, hadn't they? "You guys look like you're pretty well off; if you need any help, we'll be riiiiight next door, good luck!" Natsumi called out to the lot in the kitchen, waving her hand as she dragged Mari back out. Mari hadn't spoken much since they entered; not that Natsumi could blame her for being awkward in this kind of situation. Sighing, Natsumi patted Mari's head. "I don't know what you're worrying about, but there's no need for you to think so long and hard about it ~ I'm sure this matter will solve itself... eventually." [/bg]

IDK JUST TAGGED EVERYONE JUST IN CASE YUP
[bg=#000000]Avery was just about fed up with Kimura already; besides, what could she say to him? She never recalled having ever been on good foot with his personality. Something about him had always struck odd with her. Regardless, she had headed pretty quickly for the HQ office, where she had been cooped up with Natsume for a while when the door opened, and Vincent waltzed right in. He sometimes got on Natsume's nerves, and Avery had offered it up to be her own job to deal with him whenever they were both there. Besides, from what it appeared, he also had business with her, anyways. She stood up from her seat, glancing once more at the paperwork she had been making herself busy with. She was well aware that she had forcibly set herself to do this pointless organizing because she didn't want to talk to Kimura.
"Well, if you say it like that, I guess I could join you." She couldn't hide the sarcasm in her voice; he was way too blunt, definitely not a ladies' man. Not that she was the typical kind of girl, anyway. Natsume waved her off, and in the back of her mind, Avery remembered that she had talked to Natsumi and Mari about going out earlier. With what was going on at HQ, they probably wouldn't be going any soon anyways, so she might as well figure out something to do in the meantime. As she exited out onto the streets, she realized how much she had been craving fresh air ever since she set foot in the HQ today. She was just the slightest bit happy that Vincent had dragged her along, not that she would want to admit that. With his personality, it'd probably not register with him. Besides, Avery wasn't the type to get all sentimental like that about the simplest things in life.
"So, c'mon, you must've had a reason for choosing me to come out here with you. Or could you just not stand being without me?" It would've probably sounded like a joke had her face not been completely monotone. She was not good at telling jokes in the first place, so maybe she should just stop trying to do it. Not that Vincent had ever seemed to mind her awkward, completely useless attempts at being funny; she didn't even look like she had fun herself! Somehow, spending time in company of people like Vincent made her feel safe; he was going to tell her everything straight and blunt, not caring about whether he would hurt her feelings. Avery would always rather have a painful truth than a pleasant lie, and when people tried to take consideration of her, it usually ended bad. She sighed slightly to herself as her thoughts sidetracked, soon moving her center of attention back to Vincent once again, awaiting his reply to her question.[/bg]
