Momo - Dave's Family Apartment - Breakdown & SARAMomo had to walk extra cautiously as not to hurt her bare feet on the unforgiving concrete. The delicacy of her steps helped prevent her from getting any cuts, but it didn't do anything against the dirt. When they finally reached his place Momo was amazed by all the hoops Breakdown had to jump through in order to unlock the door. The amount of security was simply impressive. Dave's comment about 'inner mad scientists' made her conjure up images of test tubes, Tesla coils, and arrays of buttons with blinking lights; but as soon as the door opened she saw the apartment was nothing like Frankenstein's laboratory.
"失礼します。" she said softly as she entered (formal phrase for entering someone's home). Her first instinct was to remove her shoes but that wouldn't be necessary. She was greeted by a startling amount of scolding directed at Dave. This pretty blond girl must be the Sara he spoke of, she certainly made a strong impression on the somewhat terrified Momo.
"You know your fathers rules about visitors, you better have a good reason fo-" Dave cut her off, feeling her hysteria a little uncalled for, "I brought her over here because it she needs a place to wait out the excitement that happened today goes down, she's a Meta like me.... plus she needs some real clothes.""I-I'm not really a meta... I mean I am, but I'm not" she spoke with almost inaudible shyness. Ever since she got her powers she wasn't really sure if she could be considered a metahuman. Unlike others she wasn't born with her powers, it was given to her. Sometimes she thought it was a curse for intruding on sacred lands. And if it could be given maybe it could be taken away, like it was clothes that could be worn rather than abilities written in her genes. That's what she hoped at least.
After Dave left for the kitchen Sara gave Momo a once over, examining her with her eyes. Was Sara sizing her up? Was Sara afraid Momo was gonna "take her man?" These thoughts only made Sara more intimidating and Momo more frightened. But as soon as Sara grabbed her hand she felt a bit more relieved. Sara's hand was a little cold, but gentle. Her fingers felt kindly delicate. That was when Momo was led to the closet.
"This is what I got sweetie, take your pick.""Wow!" the selection was overwhelming to Momo, whose wardrobe was limited to kimonos, maid outfits, and school uniforms. Basically, nothing of her choice. Sometimes she got to raid Kimiko's massive closet, but even then all of Kimiko's clothes were very lady-like. Nothing casual or fun. As she looked around Sara's wardrobe she tried to choose something she didn't always have the chance to wear. She ended up with jeans, a tank top, and hoodie.
"Is this okay? It doesn't look strange?" she looked to Sara for approval. Fashion wasn't really her forte so she wanted to make sure she wasn't making a fool of herself.
Now that she thought of it, Sara's wardrobe being here meant that she lived here. Does that mean she and Dave were boyfriend and girlfriend? If they were living together it had to be pretty serious... were they engaged?! It reminded Momo of the times Kimiko's parents took her to
見合い to meet potential spouses. Kimiko was from a wealthy family so arranged marriages aren't that uncommon. Momo never liked it when Kimiko went to those, even though she never met any of the potential spouses she never liked any of them for some reason.
"So um, how do you know Dave" Momo asked Sara out of curiosity. Her love of romance novels meant she couldn't help but pry. Maybe she should work on her own romance for once.
