Demon Marcus, Sunday

It was that time of year, again. One of Sparkle's favourite times of year, in fact.

The time of year when the summer stock shipments (not that many had survived the summer anyway) started to slow down, and the autumn stock started to roll in. Cute hats, gloves, scarves. Sweaters! Look at these adorable sweaters! It wasn't even September yet. God know this week was meant to continue to be hotter than the devil's asscrack. But fall gear?

Fall gear!

Clearly, Sparkle had to start picking through it to dress up the mannequins anyway.

And maybe start browsing the internet for cuddly winter onesies, too. Oh, shit, that one was a sea otter! Clearly he had to order in like five.

So. That was Sparkle's day, set.

Leto had made Farad'n deal with a huge pile of boring documents, Alice and Hania was at Sietch Tabr, and he had persuaded Irulan that his presence at the diplomatic reception wasn't needed and that she could deal with the planned poisoning just as well as he could. So he was along in his private quarters, and picked up the phone to call Sparkle.

"Good to hear your voice."

Maybe Sparkle could hear that smile.

"Do you know how fed up I am with insulting ambassadors?"

"They are."

Leto wasn't going to mention the poisoning.

"How are you?"

"That sounds like a good idea," Leto said.

He would have offered advice on how to deal with legal matters, but even he knew that his perspective would not be useful in Sparkle's universe, so he held himself back. Subtle poisoning was less accepted.

"I just realized it's been a while since I visited Fandom."

"I think I can find a way to have them distracted for a day or two," Leto replied. "It has been a while since you came up with a surprise. Or is it my turn?"

"I'll get back to you soon on that that works for the players."

Leto continued, and maybe Sparkle could hear the grin: "I have to give you time to come up with something good, after all."

It could just be a quiet night, of course.

As if Leto could read the narrative, he said: "You don't think I could distract you from climbing walls?"

Alluka had been off the island for a long, long time. She'd missed her own graduation! (She didn't care!) She'd missed the whole summer (she wasn't going to care about that either!) but her summer had been super great with Ringo so the only thing that Alluka had really missed?

That she cared about?

Was the people!

"Sparkle, Sparkle, Sparkle! Hihihihi!"

And, hey, if nothing else, Sparkle had always appreciated her fashion sense.

Okay, sure, so this was more like a day trip than anything more permanent, but Alluka? Was still really excited!

Alluka was never, ever going to turn down hugs.

She bounced over to fling her arms around Sparkle eagerly.

"I missed you!" she said happily, since now she didn't have to keep on missing him.
that_oldsaying: (Bang!)

"Oh no!" she said, though her laugh as she was spun around made it clear that she wasn't really too upset about Milady's being away. "That just means I'll have to visit again and again, until I see Milady!"

"Ringo and I have been busy, busy!" she said, doing a spin out of sheer exuberance, before digging into her pocket and pulling out a card for him to look at. It was a bit thicker than a credit card and much, much sturdier.

"Look, look! I'm an officially licensed Hunter! I passed the exam!"

"We do whatever we want!" she said, beaming. "Our jobs are to wander the world and find things! We get to travel all over and help people and places and solve puzzles that other people have never, ever seen!"

Alluka laughed, a little ruefully.

"At least, when we're fully trained, we'll be able to do all of that. Ringo and I are still learning, so we've got a mentor right now and we tend to do what she wants us to do instead of haring off on our own!"

"She's also teaching us how to use nen," she said happily, tucking her card away safely again since it was literally one-of-a-kind and non-replaceable if she lost it. "That's what they call powers in my world! It's pretty hard, but also really neat!"

And Alluka had never had a power of her own, just Nanika, which made it something exciting all by itself.

"But, yeah, most of my world is restricted travel--it's too dangerous for civilians! More than 90% of it is restricted and more than 70% of that is banned entirely if you're not a Hunter! That was why Ringo and I wanted to become Hunters in the first place, because we'd seen all the things that just anyone could see!"
