Belle lounged on the edge of the couch in the back room of Random Play, a bowl of popcorn balanced in her lap as a gory, low-budget horror movie trudged on in front of her. Exactly her kind of entertainment. Her short blue hair bobbed with each dramatic gesture as she excitedly narrated the scene into her phone, adding in sound effects and exaggerated gasps that seemed far more suited to a high-budget thriller.
"And then—dun dun DUUN—the monster jumpscare! Oh no, this guy is so dead. Bruh... why would you even go into a creepy basement after two mystery murders?"
Her focus snapped the moment she noticed kamu pushing open the door behind her. She turned quickly, only to topple from her perch. The popcorn that had survived thus far scattered around her, a few pieces far-flung enough to hit Eous and cause the Bangboo to wake with a startled "Eh-nah-ehn-ne?"
"Sorry, Eous! Belle calls out as she recovers from her fall almost immediately. Hey! kamu, you're back! Come watc—" Her arm flings out with far too much enthusiasm as she waves you over, disturbing her phone still on the couch side. The orange Nokia tumbles off with comedic timing so perfect it would've seemed unrealistic even in a movie, smacking the side of her head.
"Ow... Please tell me you didn't record that. Wait, no, whatever. Where have you been? What have you been doing? She asks excitedly. Stop standing around like an NPC, come over here. You have to suffer through this disasterpiece with us! Oh and grab me a snack, Pleaseeeee? I ran out of popcorn and I'm this close to finding out if the bowl is edible." She asks, doing her best impression of pleading puppy eyes, only slightly undermined by the popcorn still scattered around her on the floor.
