[When Nonon enters the room, she'll find that there's a masked figure seated right on the floor and the vase of rose's is prominently on display on a small table. Something soft (like an instrumental track) seems to be playing from the stereo and Love looks up. Though the mask is obscuring their face, their body language seems to indicate they're excited.]
Thank you for the flowers! They're beautiful...did you make this arrangement yourself? [Come sit, Nonon.]

I did. I'm glad you like them. It's a skill my parents thought I should have, and I'm grateful for it. It's an art form.
[ Nonon takes a seat on the floor but a couple feet away from Love. If Love's supposed to be a god, there has to be some kind of act of deference, right? Presuming is bad even if Nonon is used to being deferred to herself. ]

[WELL HERE WE ARE. The offering's nice even if Love can't remove their mask. It's in a special place on an actual table that they've dragged into the studio. There are also two chairs so they don't have to sit on the floor.]
...thank you. [That's all they say at first. Please come sit.]

Nonon sits in the chair that's available. ]

[ Her eyes light up at the trumpet and then just as quickly the light goes out because I am 100 percent assuming and hoping Justice won't make an exception for her.
She chuckles, soft and a little evil. ]
I hope they drive each other up the wall.
[ She plops down in the chair, all pretense of ladylike behavior out the window because the rules suck this week. ]

[Nonon will find Sincerity sitting among a pile of scarves in the costume hall. They're comparing the half-finished scarf to some of the ones in the pile, and when Nonon walks in, they wave her over.]
Hey! Did you make this yourself? It's super cute - I totally would have bought, like, five of them if they were in stores.

[ She walks over as beckoned, and she shakes her head. Her hands are clasped behind her back. It doesn't show on her face, but she's glad Sincerity likes it. ]
No, I found it and thought it was meant for you. I was talking to someone, and she said she was making an offering, but she couldn't finish it.
[ She hopes it's what Shiki would've wanted. ]

[When Nonon enters the parlor, she'll be greeted with the same song she heard that led her here. With the doors open, it's easier to see there's a table for two set up, little pink snacks and confectionaries on fine china and two cups for tea. The chairs surrounding the table are ones with high backs and soft cushions, and there are vases of red and white roses in various places.
The three that Nonon brought though are in a special vase in the center of the table with the treats.
Most importantly, there's Beauty seated at the piano, still playing. As the song finishes, the god turns their head to greet her.]
It's a shame the rule's in place for now. You play beautifully. [Is it a surprise that the god knows what happens in their domain? Maybe not.] Welcome, Jakuzure-san.

[ Nonon walks in, twirling the rose Senri delivered in her hand. She stops in her tracks once she can fully hear the music, unhindered by anything else. It hasn't even been that long since the new rules have been in place, but it feels like an eon to her.
She doesn't believe in love at first sight, but she can fall in love at first sound. She'd be mad that someone can play music when she can't, but she just misses music that much. It's heaven to her ears, and she can't deny Beauty's talent on the piano.
She's just so delighted to be able to listen to good music. It lifts her when nothing else can. ]
Thank you. It's a huge shame, but your playing is splendid. I'm glad to be your audience.
[ She seats herself in one of the chairs and looks incredibly at home. ]
I got your message.

[When Nonon enters the parlor, Beauty's seated at the piano and carefully studying the music in front of them, idly playing notes. Hearing the door though they perk up and suddenly it's an arm shooting in the air and waving.]
Jakuzure-san! [They hop off the bench, bounding their way toward Nonon.] Ah, I was thinking...would it be alright if I addressed you by your first name?

[ She blinks. Beauty seems less... pretentious this go around.
Is that what they meant by first impressions? ]
You're a god, aren't you? Go ahead.
[ With any god, she lets name conventions slide because being cursed is never on her agenda. ]

[Nonon enters the armory and finds a tall figure with the origami fox in the palm of their hand, leaning against a wall of swords and turning the fox this way and that. Even before Nonon speaks, they begin.]
How did you even fold this to look right? [This god knows fuckall about origami.]

[ She had fuckall idea of what to offer to Cunning, so she's glad this wasn't a complete miss. ]
It took a while, but I had time on my hands last week to figure it out.
[ If she can't play music, she has to find something to do with her hands!!! ]
It's all about squares and triangles.

[The origami raccoon is in a lego tree, and Merriment is seated on a billiard table continuing to construct a forest out of lego pieces. The god seems more calm than he was in the week prior and during the trial, bare feet swinging idly as he works.]
Is...this because I've never formally met one?

[ She laughs before she comes to get a better look at their lego forest. ]
You remembered~ Yes. To honor our conversation.

[ Nonon opens her mouths and shuts it, then shrugs. She joins Love on the floor. ]
Once I picked up instruments, it seemed silly not to be good at other things, too. My mother was really into traditional things like that and ikebana, so that's where my other offering came from, too.
[ That's a really roundabout way to say no, not always, but to also give herself some kind of credit because she's like that. ]

[On the one hand-]
I'm not really into paper.
[...but on the other-]
This is so... intricate, though. Show me how you made it.
[Hi, Nonon. Ambition has asked you hear to the beauty salon because she has nof fucking clue how you managed to fold that. Also, she's wearing the origami wreathe on her head, even though the hood of her robe is up.]

[ is there any laurel in the courtyard
Hi, Ambition. Nonon nods, willing enough. ]
What are you into? I'll offer something more to your tastes next time. [ She walks closer. ] I folded each leaf and then connected each one into a crown wreath.
[ Without music, you have to occupy your time somehow. ]

Yes. I had some time on my hands last week.
[ No music, no life, etc. ]
The koi fish is a symbol of luck and fortune, so I decided to try my own luck.

[welcome to the dungeon, nonon
when she walks in, Ruin has one of the cells unlocked, with its door wide open. She's... pinning the origami butterfly to the wall. Decoration?]
This really brightens up the place, don't you think? ♡
[stop this.]

[ Nonon isn't really into dank and damp, but she is into creepy and eerie. Despite that, she looks unfazed, walking into the dungeon like it's the parlor.
She grins. ]
It does. ♥ [ i hate that she has to match hearts for hearts. ] I should have made more, so you could've created a whole scene.

[ Not even Nonon can be rude to this child, cradling her offering like that.
She sighs to herself. She isn't weak to most kids, but when they show tenacity, she has to acknowledge it. ]
It'll be the best defended city. Will you show me when you're done?
[ Someone save her from being soft. ]

[When Nonon arrives at the Private Study, Piety is placing the ten paper cranes in different places on the bookshelf. They turn around toward her, voice light and full of gratitude.]
Thank you for this; these are absolutely lovely. I can only imagine the time you put into these.

It kept my mind off other things, so if it's of some use and appreciated... [ That's all she can ask for, really. That was her goal. ]
How do you feel after these last couple weeks?

This is the cutest effing thing I have ever seen.
[Disorder is currently pinning the origami heart she was gifted onto her robes like a brooch. Where she's sitting at the edge of the school theater's stage, she crosses her legs.]
Handmade accessories are totally in. And you were so thoughtful to make it match my outfit! Love.

[ Someone with taste? Amazing. Someone with a similar color aesthetic? Great. ]
I couldn't let the opportunity go. Pink isn't the new black. It's always been in vogue.

Hi. ♥ I said I'd make you some more.
[ She clasps her hands behind her back. ]
It's nice to see you hosting this week, but I wanted to ask a question. If someone wanted to get a key to a dungeon cell, what would they have to do for you?

[Nonon enters the studio and will find that her offering is stuck to one of the mirrors in the studio, and Love's sitting on the floor waiting for her.]
This design's really cute. Really thematic. [She's trying to be cheerful, but losing half of your followers is a bad time fam.]

[ As she usually does, Nonon joins her on the floor. ]
I thought it was fitting. I know at least one of them will come back to you next week. [ If they all don't bite it, at least. ] If that's what you're worried about.
[ ... ]
It's been weeks, but I never actually asked you this. What kind of world are you striving for?

Come here, it's been a really, really bad day.]
[ She looks at Love's hands for a really long time, considering and weighing if she should do this. There is one girl bright in her mind, a girl who she said she'd hold her hand forever and ever, and to Nonon, even at five years old, she knew that was the only girl who was worth holding her hand.
But right now.... right now... her judgment has been shattered twice over today.
Her heart lurches, and she takes the steps towards Love and puts her hand in the god's, her touch tentative, delicate, and fragile— everything Nonon usually isn't. ]
... Is there any way the power used on me can be removed?
[ She shuts her eyes, and she takes a deep breath. Her hand in Love's trembles almost imperceptibly. ]

I bet you're used to way bigger cities, huh?
[ What's up, Love. Nonon's come to this date with her hair down. It'll be a nice respite before some shit hits the fan, and she really wants to have a nice beginning of the week to make up for the dumpster trashfire that was the previous weekend and what is probably going to be the upcoming weekend. ]
I do live near Tokyo, but Honnouji Academy has its own city, so it's not as big as you expect. A change of pace isn't bad, and I want to see you where you're most comfortable.

[ Nonon would sooner yeet Yu and Ludger both into the offering bowl than Rollo. ]
Rollo is here. I said I would ask a while ago, but... [ She raises her eyebrows. ] You're in higher spirits than I expected?

[When Nonon enters the parlor, she'll find that Beauty's at the piano already and has made all sorts of preparations. There's tea and snacks and a small but new bundle of sheet music for the two of them. The origami dog is also on the piano lid, clearly opened and refolded back into its dog shape. It's also sporting a small, red ribbon around its neck tied into a bow.]
Good afternoon, Jakuzure-san. [It would be -chan, but he's still pretty sure Nonon would argue with that.] I've found some new material we can look over together if you'd like. Though I would not normally associate dogs with music.

[ If Beauty weren't a god, he would be right. She would argue -chan. Her accepting that honorific normally would be her equivalent to a god's demasking.
Nonon has a lot of conflicting feelings this week, which is why she's here for some music therapy. She smiles at the red ribbon. That's really cute. ]
I heard you had a dog. That's all. [ She walks over to the sheet music. ] I'd like it if we could play something new together. I'm in the mood for some good music.

[ She smiles. She's not happy, but that makes her smile a little. ]
It's not, but I'm glad to hear that. I promise I'll come back and see you again, but you probably already know I'm not here just to talk about if I'm your favorite.
[ It's Friday night, and people are deda. ]

[ AMBITION IS VALID.
Nonon joins her at the table easily. ]
I said I'd deliver, and I meant it. As long as I know what you like, it's hard for me to miss.
