Korinas Bribery Attempt 240828


(Korina's bribery attempt)

[Mon Aug 12 2024]

On the Walkway Leading to the Front Steps of Town Hall
This sidewalk has recently been paved and placed, with mortar in between
the thick slabs of concrete. Some grass has attempted to grow between,
sprouting out thickly here and there, though it still remains in good
condition. Some casual indigenous wildflowers have been planted to either
side of the sidewalk, blooming during the warmer months and resting as dark
brown patches in the winter. A few trees offer shade here and there.

It is afternoon, about 83F(28C) degrees,

After a very annoying bike ride, Korina makes her way over to give hSD deputy some money.

Not very subtly, Korina sniffs at Olivia who stands nearby watching the definitely-not-a-bribe, and tells her, "You forgot shoes."

Olivia looks particularly disheveled--she might only have the shirt, honestly, and a wad of some bills in the hand holding her phone. Her hair is wildly mussed, small twigs and leaves seen here and there lest one suspect a more carnal romp. Or hell, this is Haven--who actually knows? Olivia's expression turns to an acknowledging smirk at Korina as she points out, "It's been a day. Is dude bro satisfied?" she asks, glancing toward the deputy.

Korina blinks at 'dude bro', her eyes glancing around for a couple seconds as though trying to figure out if there's another Mister Dude Broster around that she hadn't noticed before. Nope, Olivia glanced at the deputy. She stares.

"... yes." comes the eventual conclusion, even if the deputy in question would probably not be opposed to some more cash money being slipped into his wallet sneakily. "Dude bro is satisfied." The slang sounds incredibly unnatural coming from her, her accent a lilting, unfamiliar one, and then she makes a face. "You need a shower," she tells Olivia, no beating around the bush. Presumably, many bushes have been beaten around already, considering her state.

"Shower considered and planned around. I just thought it best to get a cover-up from Narnia before, like, taking the bus," Olivia informs Korina with a drily amused sort of voice, far more used to wielding slang perhaps. She cracks the space between her phone and its case, feeding her bills into the relative safety-by-obscurity of the plastic as she admits to Korina, "But yeah, a shower's on my plans. Sucks--you have a free day to tan and a wwol--wild dog chases you off before you really get to start. At least I didn't get bit," she murmurs, checking on the back of the heel of a dirtied foot.

Korina wrinkles up her nose - nay, her whole face - at the thought. "Bite them first, next time," she advises Olivia like some sort of reverse-werewolf, and then walks off, perhaps to simply spare her olfactory senses more of whatever's going on around Olivia. "I am going to bed," she offers in lieu of a farewell. That's all Olivia gets, which is probably for the best so she can get to that shower as soon as possible instead of loitering around barefoot near the town hall.
