Dysfunctional [Nat]

Japan sure was full of short people, why this one was a whole foot shorter than her and looked extremely lithe in comparison with Jess' bulky figure. The contrast in size was immediately visible to anyone who would see the pair and the Polish girl could not help but feel a bit self conscious about it due to the societal expectations of her gender. Still the summoner would have to set those feelings aside as she went about her day with who was no doubt the person assigned with her to do errands, hopefully they would at least get along well.

"Am not my fault am tall..." Jess said meekly in response as Natalia's face fell to an emotionless point and before the proper lady would speak again. Well this was starting off as awful, her height had been brought up, to her perspective, negatively and now the other woman was outshining her in the functions of social grace and generally being more what was expected and desired out of their shared gender. Shame washed over the Slavic girl who began to feel as though this day may not go as well as the other days she had spent in Japan had, perhaps this person would just not want to be Jess' friend due to her obvious status above the clunky and backwards foreigner. "Am...Jess Circe, Kasey of take me in and am...of hoping to be help on this day" unable to look the other female in the eyes she simply looked at her own feet with her mind racing among the horrible possibilities that could come from this bad first impression.

What had she done to upset the other woman so? Smiles simply did not drop that fast, it surely must have meant that it was fake and that the other lady did not like Jess at all. Worry and anxiety blasted through the teenage female who's estrogen levels were too high and thus helped propel this paranoia to even greater heights and causing her normally soft tone to be even softer barely to be heard and squeaking out of her like a mouse would while the normally proud young woman was now staring at her shoes.

One's tones could be fabricated easier than one's face in the opinion of Jess and so she peaked up when Natalia spoke again unfortunately only to confirm her own fabricated feels as the emotionless face caused the girl to believe that Natalia really did not like her at all. Thus the question that was posed before her was some form of trick or trap to judge her on being selfish no doubt, and so Jess would respond while her crimson eyes once more fell towards the floor in focus. "No, I just want of to be help for carry big things...is all am good for..." the current plan was to lay low and be as helpful as possible if she could do both of these things together then surely the maid would not give a poor report to Kasey. After all if the maid hated her long enough who knows what kind of lie they could tell, Jess could be out on the streets and trying to explain to the school how she no longer had a home. The summoner could not do that and instead would probably live homeless until or if someone found out and corrected it, she was very quiet when she thought that any sort of harm could befall her stemming from her childhood. While normally not so doom and gloom, the odd facial habit of the other woman had set Jess into a spiral of shame in which she currently sat.

Wait she wanted to be more like Jess? But why, she was so pretty and even traditionally so the maid no doubt turned heads when she went out and not in the same way Jess assumed her form did though truthfully the Slavic girl never minded giving work out advice to the rare few who were impressed rather than scared. The eyes...it was within Natalia's eyes on closer inspection, the face did not move as if she were something one would find in a mirror at 3am but her eyes held a human kindness, one of which Jess knew faintly but could not place. The concept of having a mother herself was foreign while she could conceive of being one herself having played as such growing up with her fellow children making certain none fell behind and doing the most she could for their well being.

"No, if is of you to not move face I will look in eyes instead" this time Jess' voice was more sturdy and she looked directly at Natalia to indicate that she would fulfill her promise that she just verbally uttered. To the Polish lady there was nothing more important than a promise and this was the second she had officially forged within the grounds, at least verbally aside from agreeing to the security of the estate naturally. Body language was something that came to Jess rather naturally and while she had not studied it quite well enough yet it was something she would be invested in during her studies at UA. Challenges were something that Jess did not shy away from and she found this one quite up to her ability to handle, or else she never would have promised it in the first place.

As she finished speaking the kindly maid would speak a name that was unfamiliar to Jess, of course when Natalia snapped her fingers the fellow summon would be intrinsically aware of what had just happened though she could not help but wonder why not simply telepathically speak back to this Mythrial. Was it simply the summon did not reply in her mind like Black Hole sun would with Jess? Perhaps, perhaps the summon was similar, either way the thing that would happen next would surprise Miss Circe far more than the other lady having a summon or mentioning it's name to draw it out. While BHS almost tore himself into reality Jess had to remind him this was not some dick measuring contest and to allow the other person to do what they wished to do.

...Even after climbing up four steps the maid still needed to get on her toes to pat Jess' head, something that reassured her now that she understood the other but would have made her feel even worse if she thought it was a form of teasing. Luckily having calmed down quickly and trying to trust the other's words and eyes over their lack of tone and facial expression the muscle-headed Polish girl was receptive to the action and actually giggled when it was done.

Jess looked slightly down at the woman who was still on a step ladder to witness their eyes as they spoke, certain to keep up with every word as they had stated they would do before. Following her down the steps with her vision Jess mused that over, so the worst fear would not come to pass and instead the maid wished for a friend just as Jess did, this made her feel much better about the whole situation but she would wait for Natalia to finish before speaking again.

"I think we will of make good friends, may call Nat? Will trip over syllable if try full name" Jess plopped her left hand behind her head rubbing it in embarrassment, while she was trying she knew one too many languages to get Japanese down too well unfortunately. "Jess might of need more makeup and also if we can find, finger less gloves so can grab stuff but keep hand warm" at the last part Jess delivered a very boisterous nod at the thought as if she were another person backing up her own opinion, such was the goofy way of the one who had come so far to Japan.

The liquid metal of a summon was quite fascinating to Jess who watched the actions with great focus, curious at what exactly the nature and persona of the thing could be. Curious as she was the lady would continue to watch this up to the point that Natalia would put her gloves back on, breaking the spell that it held on her and she shook her head physically as if to shake the thoughts out of her head about the different types of personalities the summon could have and return her focus to the conversation at hand.

Wait but no, Natalia was cute, if anything Jess was...handsome...like a man or at least that was how she viewed herself still in the mirror every day looking at different spots that still held what she assumed to be masculine features. Still there was a question to be answered and so Jess would chirp back now completely back to her normal, cheerful self, "I think then light make up on most of face but do like to do things for eyes, want to of look pretty like mysterious Pharaoh Queen!" Digesting the words spoke after this Jess would pause before thoughtfully replying to the idea put forward, "I think would be best to get thing that last longest so save money overall in long run." A good concept one should apply to all of life when they could, and Jess figured that now they could and thus should take that route.



Jess smiled at the next words the other woman would speak and Black Hole Sun would dutifully appear being ready to be drug along by it's tether and thus not materializing as the doll but instead covering the student's face. For dramatic effect Jess pulled the now-masklike Black Hole Sun doll body over her face covering it with what looked like a black handkerchief that had white teeth on it causing her to look far more mischievous than normal, fitting for the action to come. No longer concerned with the other lady hating her Jess would shoot forward as fast as a cheetah and use the arm that had not pulled the mask down to scoop Natalia gingerly but quickly to her chest by grabbing her on the outside of her furthest thigh away from her, the rest of Jess' arm cushioning and cradling her from the inertia as she did so and then continuing to run through the house navigating the hallways at top speed but being extremely agile about it, occasionally jumping off a wall without leaving even a scuff from the way she used her momentum, inertia and weight as she did her race through the house. As the front door got into view she would shout, "Be of open or I be of go through!" In response the nearest servant hastily opened the door as the Slavic girl with Natalia in her arms carried close to the chest now burst out with a jump through the portal.

Landing onto the gravel Jess screeched to a halt and placed her fellow house mate down and then began to jump up and down in the air like she was a champion prize fighter in front of the waiting vehicle and driver.
