Everything smells like fruit salad today.

[ Clary's sitting on a bench outside of the library, free hand cupped around her Styrofoam coffee mug, the other holding her device up to talk. ] And I literally mean everything. I don't have perfume that smells like peaches so I'm really, really hoping this isn't one of those curses where we turn in to whatever we smell like. That would suck.

[ She ... has a temper, that much is pretty true. Red headed and furious ( at Jace most of the time ) but she is still literally made of sweetness and light and angel wings so she smells good. It probably started sometime after she helped an old man put up a sign in the early morning and it's just gotten stronger and stronger since then.

Holding her cup up to her nose and sniffing. ] Even the coffee smells like fruit. [ A shrug. ] At least it's not sandalwood?

Pinoko loves fruitsh, though, sho it's fine fo—

[Wait, wait, curses where they turn into what they smell like?!]

P-Pinoko doesn't really wanna turn into a peach!

[She just might start crying, judging by how terrified she looks!]

[steleheart]

[ For a moment she just looks torn like she hadn't actually meant to genuinely upset anyone. ]

Please don't cry --! I don't think you're going to turn into a peach.

[hexuality]

I don't think I've ever seen a curse where we turn into what we smell like. I've tasted like cinnamon once, though.

[steleheart]

I think I'm just genuinely worried about my boyfriend trying to eat me.

[ Wait. ] That came out terribly.

[hexuality]

[TMI, Clary.]

It was alright until you pointed it out. [Ginny rolls with it, okay.] Wouldn't you have known if he was a cannibal before you started dating him?

[steleheart]

[ No that's just the title of her book ... ]

With Jace it's always hard to tell.

[hexuality]

Well, if that's who it is, then I'm right there with you. I would't know for sure, either.

[steleheart]

Blond, kind of ... sure of himself, keeps making ominous network posts?

[ She does adore him but everyone probably thinks he's a serial killer. ]

[unwheeled]

Well it isn't just my overactive imagination plus a lack of sleep. Thank you for the confirmation.

[steleheart]

smelling delicious too?

[ She's not flirting only because Clary is like generally all-round innocent unless you are Jace and then she turns into this creature of need and terrible thoughts. Be glad you can't hear her, Charles. ]

[unwheeled]

Smelling rather like peaches, anyway. It's slightly disconcerting. Pleasant, but disconcerting. What if someone were to get the wrong idea?

[ He will be, yes. ]

[steleheart]

just tell everyone that you've got a new bathscrub or something?

[unwheeled]

No voice at the moment, unfortunately, and I despair what pantomiming 'bath scrub' might bring to mind to whomever I'm trying to communicate with.

[steleheart]

maybe don't do that 8D what about your scary friend? or is him telling everyone about your bathscrub also a no-go?

[ It's easy to tell from the shot that he's outside, moving, with his nose wrinkling up at someone as they go by. ]

I wish I could say the same because something or someone around here smells rotten.

[ Thankfully, it's not him. He checked. Twice. ]

[ Video ]

[steleheart]

Well, I smell delicious.

[ A small teasing smile. ] You're missing out.

[ Video ]

[stelecharm]

If you stay where you are, I'll find out soon enough.

[ Video ]

[steleheart]

I'm not going anywhere. [ Holding up her cup with another teasing lift of her mouth. ]

There's coffee. I could be convinced to share.

[ Video ]

[stelecharm]

[ He's only a few streets away, pace picking up so he'll be there soon enough. ]

You're making me work for coffee? I'm hurt.

[ Video ]

[steleheart]

I have to make you work for something.

[riceballfruit]

Ah, that could be dangerous if people turning into what they smelled like!

What if they were at the supermarket, and got mixed in with the other peaches.

[Tohru goes very quiet.] What if I bought someone by accident....

[steleheart]

I don't think it's going to happen?

[ Oh no, what has she done? Upsetting the entire City by accident. ] Hopefully people would still be able to talk to so they'd be fine.

[riceballfruit]

Oh! You think they could still talk? I hope so.

If you end up turning into a peach, definitely tell me you're really a person so I don't take you home by mistake.

[steleheart]

[ Maybe she's giggling now. ]

I will, don't worry. I'm Clary by the way.

[riceballfruit]

[Relief.]

Thank you!

Oh! I'm sorry, I was rude. I'm Tohru Honda. It's a pleasure to meet you, Clary.
