| She clicked on the electric kettle, and the water heater began to hum. Ornella looked over her shoulder, through the little slips of paper that marked the diner's order, through the service window and past the counter, to her musician friend. Only a day had passed since the cyclops parade and the odd fruit she had eaten. She didn't consider the new sensation anything permanent. It was like the time she tried a Red Bull, and she couldn't paint her nails without messing them up. But now that breakfast had passed, Ornella still felt like there were butterflies in her stomach harnessed to treadmills. She'd carried herself to Irresistibly Sweet with a light step and easy smile. Pink tingeds the edges of her vision. She said 'good morning' to every person she passed. The flower shop's entrance distracted her for nearly fifteen minutes because she wanted to smell all the blooms. Zip-a-dee doo dah, zip-a-dee ay, wonderful feeling, wonderful day.
Soon, she poured the hot water into two homey mugs draped with chamomile teabags. She carried them out to Seyka on a tray with some fresh strawberry cheesecake. Ornella smiled fondly at Seyka as she set down the cakes, sugar, milk, and steaming tea. There were many things to talk about: the new chocolate shop across the street, the stubbornness of her husband, the monstrously egg, her strange dreams, but the events of the other day towered above all else.
"Did you catch the parade yesterday, by any chance?" she asked brimming with a young vitality. |

| It wasn't anything out of the norm to find the eighteen year old Rozengale girl here. She was guilty as the red on her big bow tied on top of her head for having a notorious sweet tooth. She had a routine that she followed with unfaltering dedication it was almost like a religion. Before the start of the weekend after the end of the weekdays, she would pay a visit to Irresistibly Sweet to have a bite of the sweetest strawberry cheesecakes Nova Athenis has been blessed with having. Sure, she would be visiting the dentist by the end of the month every time from a possible cavity or two but to the pinkette it was so worth it.
A slender finger reached over to as she pressed the tip of her index digit onto the finely aged piano, situated in a special place of the building. When she pulled her palm away to check for dust she found not even the slightest spot. It was well cared for just like everything else inside. A smile graced upon her lips, bright eyes fondly.
After cake and tea with Ornella, she'll return to lift open the fall board, place her fingertips upon the keys and play a few songs. Speak of the devil, Seyka spotted her out of the corner of her eye approaching her. A bubbly smile graced upon her lips upon greeting. She stood up went over to pull out seats of a table for the two of them. “No, I'm afraid I was over at the studio,” she said with frown, “I so wanted to be there. I heard from multiple sources that it was a riot.”
Whether or not that was a good thing or bad thing, it didn't really matter that much. Something grand must've went down during that equally grand event. As she took her seat, she could smell the light fragrance of freshly brewed tea. Mmm, chamomile~ The young pastry chef knew her so well. “Did you went to it? Maybe even brought your hubby out on a date~?” she asked with a teasing smile.

| Many little girls wonder what the disney princesses do when the cameras aren't rolling. Seyka and Ornella's tea parties would make sense. Ornella plunged a finger into her curls, playing with a lock, as she stirred her tea in a dreamy slowness. Her eyes were clogged with memories, and she was hesitant on how to put it to her friend.
"Justice was there, but I lost him in the crowd, and then, I saw this... this float - um - this humongous cyclops balloon with one big eye and a beer belly! There were other floats, but... did you hear about that in particular...?" Her eyes shifted up. Ornella set her spoon on the paper napkin, folded her arms on the edge of the table, and leaned closer. |

| Her eyes flickered at the specifics of the parade. Before paying her usual visit to Irresistibly Sweet, all she heard passing through the grapevine was how lively the parade got. A tinge of envy fluttered in her system still wishing she could've been there to know what on earth everyone was going on about but she had to suppress it down. A cyclops balloon? She took a small sip of her tea after blowing away the light steam.
“A cyclops balloon?” she repeated her friend's words. As a matter of fact, she had heard something to that degree, but she knew gossip wasn't the best option in order to gain the truth. If Ornella was at the parade then she could get the true story out of it. It looked serious too. Otherwise, her pastry chef comrade wouldn't have leaned in closer to discuss it. “I have actually. There was talk about it. That it was like the creature was brought back to life.”
“... but that's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? You never know when someone is exaggerating the truth.” She tilted her head slightly to the side curiously. “What about it? Was it really that lifelike?”

| "Well," she said, wondering how to describe her day. Maybe Seyka could believe it? "I found it alive...? I know that um, if a Cyclops balloon were truly life-like, someone might have gotten hurt. They are very large, you know? Like giants!" she explained rubbing her arm. "But there was actually a lot of damage made by that balloon during the parade. A friend of mine cleaned it all up quickly afterwards, but I still think we're lucky nobody was injured...." she tested, watching Seyka carefully as she ate.
She didn't want to break this sort of information suddenly. Oh, yes, cyclops are real! (But apparently, they were?) She smiled, but it came off as a wince. Sometimes, you just have to rip it off like a bandaid.
"To be honest, I'd say the balloon was a flesh and blood monster!" |

| She’s heard of the lore behind the giant mythical creatures. There were many legends surrounding many mysterious and mystical encounters with the supernatural inhabiting around Nova Athenis. For good reason too, there were simply some things that stretch behind logic. People would have plenty of reasons to fear these phenomenons. Though proving those things coming to life would take a little more convincing than hearing it from another person’s lips. Thankfully, Seyka wasn't one of those people who needed much to be convinced.
“No way!” she exclaimed with wide eyes, “Now I really wish I was there. I want to see a real cyclops!” If this was an anime then the little pinkette would have stars and glitter and sparkles glinting around her eyes. “Was mister cyclops super scary?” Seyka was willing to bet that he just wanted to have fun at the parade. Though he must've been really big that he could squish people and buildings. That wasn't very nice.
Though the important matter of their conversation wasn't really about what kind of individual the cyclops was. Rather, if the eighteen year old truly believed her friend. Needless to say, judging from her reaction, along with the straight face she was keeping, Seyka did in fact believe Ornella.
“Probably wouldn't be a civil guest if we invited one for tea. I have to wonder though~ Would cyclops prefer chamomile tea or green tea...” Attention span, what was this?

| Ornella rubbed her hand on the smooth porcelain surface of her teacup, petting the English-painted flowers. How ironic that Seyka believed her. She giggled nervously, her eyes like peels. Her friend envisioned a friendly giant, a big ol' fellow who just wanted to join the merriment. Ornella nodded slowly as Seyka's tongue excitedly took hold of the tale.
When the girl paused in the breath of wondering what flavor of tea the behemoth would prefer, Ornella leaned forward. "He hadn't actually been one for tea," she said with a sad melody in her voice. She bit the inside of her cheek, ashamed. "He hadn't been happy at all, really. Like you said, scary. He couldn't speak, and it was a big hint when he started to drool... when he saw all of the people. But luckily, Mr. Black was there to keep things in check!"
She smiled and took a drink of her tea. "Have you met Mr. Black, yet, Seyka?" |

| Shame, real shame mister Cyclops turned out to be a big meanie. If only he was a nicer giant... and not trying to eat people then maybe he would've had friends who'd really understand him. Seyka wouldn't mind being friends with a giant provided it wasn't going to eat her. That is called cannibalism, which is in fact, very frowned upon in most societies. Alas, it was a loss she'll have to sigh away. Maybe one of these days she'll make friends with a unicorn! That would be so cool!
“I'm afraid I haven't. I don't recognize the name.” Drats, she was going to put her family's name to shame if she doesn't keep up with remembering the names of people she should know. Bad Sey Sey! Bad! Though he sounded like an important person if he was able to keep watch to make sure things were ok during the parade's hype and hassles.
“Is he by any chance a regular customer? I may have seen him...” Given that he visited during times that she visited Ornella, but that may be iffy as well. The name wasn't that uncommon, but not really one you hear in frequent conversations either.
NOTES: FC-Change! Too lazy to edit out icon. So yeah, after this thread, I'll be using icons of new FC. xD |

| "Well, Mr Black... I don't actually see him often at all," Ornella hummed, tapping her lips with her finger. When she first met Mr. Black, Ornella though he was a cosplayer of some sort. He had horns, and feathery outfit like rock star's.
"He's a very odd looking man. His hair is all black and he wears horns and a long, black robe. Almost morbid, only it doesn't reflect his personality? He's very sweet and childish, very endearing. I think he wears play horns? You would know him as soon as you saw him, and wherever he goes, strange things happen," Ornella said, her voice dropping as she went on. "I think he might be responsible for all the things the rumors say..." |
