Out in Rebecca's greenhouse behind the house, an overwhelming amount of green weeds overtake the otherwise peaceful and lush scenery. The greenhouse is now a mess of yellow pollen and lots of dandelions, many of which are moving about!
"So is this what you mean by magical weeds???" Hinata looks dismayed and is glad she brought her katanas.
"Yeah. It’s a Boss battle," Rebecca sighs as she pulls out her hedge clippers. "Let's rock Hinata!"
"Hell yeah! I hope Luna has fun out there." Hinata enters the fray, slashing and hacking at the enemy weeds. At some point during their fight, a few of the weeds managed to trip the pair up and even threw them out of the greenhouse. Hinata growled and casted ‘Delugeon’ as a flood of water drenched the whole greenhouse in a sea of water, if only just to calm many of them down. Then they returned at full power and cut through the remaining enemies. It’s a blood bath. A very green bloodbath! They're covered in green chlorophyll-like blood and fuzzies from the fight, but it seems that until Magical Deweeding Spray is invented, this will have to do.
Hinata shakes all of the water, green blood, and fuzzies off of her. “Oh for fucks sake! Care if I shower Rebecca?"
Most of the stuff on Hinata is now on Rebecca who grumbles, "Yeah. Go for it. Just uh don't step on Phoebe's carpet. She's kind of particular about it staying neat." She towels herself off, wishing Hinata was a bit more civilized.
"Right, I'll make sure to roll around on it." Hinata chuckles and enters the house.
Despite her joking, she takes great care about not damaging any of Tsukuyomi’s property. The inside of the house is in a very old-folks-homey state with lots of black and white pictures of what look like Capital City’s aerial views and some various people Hinata doesn’t recognize. Some old looking mecha figures are scattered on some of the shelves and a random figurine of some anime girl is up there as well. Phoebe in her pink cardigan and blue jeans eyes the green slathered dog girl from head to toe, grimaces rather heavily, and groans, “Ugh, I hope you’re not planning to stay here tonight 4444.”
“No, I don’t plan on it Tsuk. Wanted to clean up.” Hinata pauses for a few moments, then out of nowhere, she continues, “No offense Tsuk, but I know you don’t like me, but I like being with your creation. I’m hoping we can at least get along. If not as friends then at least as two people in the same house.”
Phoebe goes dead silent and glares at Hinata. Then a couple beats later she exhales, and her eyes just go to a more tired look. “Just. Just. T-Take care of her okay? I don’t like this. I don’t like not knowing what’s going on in her mind.” Then she goes to put her hands on Hinata’s shoulders gently and looks her in the eyes with some sadness in them, “But … Hinata. I trust you. And I trust her friends.”
Hinata squints at Tsukuyomi for being called by her name and not just 4444. Then she sighs, realizing something had changed, “Right thank you Phoebe. Uh where’s the bathroom?”
“Upstairs. Just. Get cleaned up so I don’t have to worry about my carpet getting stained by weed blood.” Phoebe shakes her head and moves to her rocking chair. She turns the TV on and watches the news.
Hinata continues past the living room and upstairs. Three bedrooms, a storage room, and a large master bathroom exist up here. She carefully makes sure to not drip any of the blood onto the ground before reaching the bathroom and finding it locked. She knocks a couple times and a larger burly man steps out. His snow-white hair and black eye-patch over his left eyes are the most notable parts of his figure, though he otherwise wears a very casual grey polo and slacks. His voice is rather cheerful when he notices Hinata, “Hey Hinata. Long time no see!”
“Hey dad. How’s it going?” Hinata smiles towards him, her creator and father figure January Solaire.
“Not bad. Uh are you okay?” January asks.
“Uhhh just. Deweeding. I’m surprised they don’t have weed repellent.” Hinata sighs.
“No we do, we were in the process of making something like that at Solaire, but then Spark happened and you know how that went down. We’re still looking into it, believe it or not.” January smiles.
Hinata seems to be at her calmest here. “Right, thank you. Those things are so intense. And why do they have tendrils??”
January chuckles a bit, “That’s because they were Flora’s original projects. And you’re aware of her work with COL souls. In a way, Rebecca is using her magic to continue Flora’s work, may she rest in peace.”
Hinata sighs and feels a bit awkward. Another bit of green drips from her hair, “mm dad, may I?”
“Granted. And don’t worry about your tracks. I got it under control.” January nods and steps aside while Hinata goes to clean up.
