"Well, I know you want your room as emerald green, but what if we did a sponge pattern or something?" Nieva suggested, pointing a hand to a picture of a sample room.
Karael offered a massive sigh. She had willingly gone along with this trip to the hardware store to decide on paint and carpet colors for the rooms downstairs. And they had lots of colors to choose from. The difficulty was in telling Nieva that Karael did not want something fancy or difficult to do. "I like the look of solid green. I was thinking of making a stripe of gold about three quarters of the way up the wall, break up the color a bit. What do you think?"
Nieva paused, considering this. "I suppose. Maybe if you made the green end there and painted the wall and ceiling above that all white. It would make the ceiling look much higher."
"Done!" Karael said, before glancing around to see if her parents were nearby. They weren't, of course, but she was taking no chances. "Now on to the baby's room..."

"Dua, put that down!" Nova yelled, yanking a spanner out of the minature angel's hand. "I've told you, we are -not- here to get you any tools, or anything like that. You are here because there was no-one to babysit you, and I don't trust you at home without supervision, because I'm still irritated by that hole in the lawn!"
As you might have guessed, the shopping trip was not going well. Nova's family were regular customers at this store - bits of the house regularly blew up, burnt down, or were otherwise destroyed, and thus she had spent long hours here.
"Awww, No-va-"
"No" Nova sighed, taking the child's hand. "Come on, sweetheart. We need paint; remember?"

Karael's heering was keener than Nieva's, and she picked up the sound of a yell. Tilting her head to one side she listened curiously for a moment and then shrugged and returned her attention to the paint colors.
"Well, I've already decided on a multishaded blue sponged look. You want your green and gold, so... what do you want for the baby's room, since it's your baby?" Nieva queried, waving a darkhaired hand at the rows of paint samples. "Purple would seem a bit too girlish, in ase it is a boy."
"Maybe yellow, but that can be a bit offensive on the eyes," Karael mused, idly picking up a shade of yellow to examine it more closely.

[it also attracts flys Dx]
The pair turned up at the section dedicated to paint, after a short trip through chemical fertilisers (definetly not), electronics (coming out of *your* pocket-money, sweetie), and gardens (Nova couldn't help that one; such pretty flowers. Pity they had such loud voices through - so shrill!). Dua was wondering about whether the tins would be good to pack explosives into, and whether you could get certain chemicals out of the paint again.
Nova was planning on painting the spare room a bright green; then she would fill it with lots and lots of plants from her garden ~ ! Browsing the shelves, she pondered whether that particular shade was too poisonous...

((I did not know that.... o__o))
"Maybe a lighter shade of green?" Nieva suggested, holding up a paint sample.
Unfortunately for Nieva, Karael was distracted by the appearance of another person in the paint samples section. The person also appeared female and had a child in tow. Hmmm... another person looking to repaint. "Hello," she said, watching the woman browse. "I suppose you're repainting as well."

/Senai-chan, why are we here?/ a woman asked in a whining tone. It looked as if she was only wearing a bra, pants, and a fishnet shirt. Behind her was a tan man ((hee hee! XD)) that was also wearing a fishnet top and pants. No bra for 'Senai-chan'.
/We are not leaving the entire house white. That would be ugly. Ugly is bad./ Senai replied.
/. . . I hate when you talk to me as if I'm stupid./ she sighed. /Any ideas, Designer-san?/
/Not really.../
They both sighed simotaniously. Damn.

[We painted our kitchen that color a few years ago - then hastily repainted it >>;;]
"Hmm?" Nova looked up from her study of a -wonderful- shade of ocean blue (she would just have to buy that to stare at it, she thought absently). "Oh, yes - there's a new baby on the way, so the spare room has to be properly shielded and painted" she grinned, putting the sample back.

Kujaku blinked as she heard people. 'Painted'.... did that mean they were in the paint section? As good as a place to start. She walked behind Nova (silently of course, she had been a ninja) and tapped her on the shoulder. "Excuse me, is this the paint section?"
Who knows where Senai wandered off to.

New baby? That sounded mightily familiar. "We're in a similar situation. I know what color my room is, she knows what hers will be, and we're still deciding for the baby. Ooooh, look, Kari! Purple!" Nieva said excitedly, pulling a shade of pale lavendar from amongst the many samples.
Karael pulled a face. "Errr... no, not purple," she said as she watched another woman walk up behind their comrade-in-paint-searching. "Yes, this is the paint sample section. I guess we're not the only ones repainting today."

The dryad jumped, then turned - she almost answered the affirmative before realising they had just answered.
"Ah, I was thinking jungle green. Then let some of the more artistically-inclined children loose on it" she grinned at Nieva, grabbing Dua's hand and yanking her away from a pyramid of paint cans. The angel pouted, chewing her bottom lip reflectively.

"It seems not." Now where did Senai-chan go? She looked at all the colors and sighed. So many choices. Damn. Where was Senai when you needed him? She picked up a strip and toyed with it mindlessly.
Senai was just wandering around. He was a bit lost. Especially since he couldn't read the signs that said what everything was.

"Jungle green is always a good color," Karael voted emphatically. She couldn't help it that she was so biased; she adored the color green. She watched the young thing's hand be removed from a bunch of stacked paint cans, smiling just a bit. Really, that didn't remind her of any of her siblings.
Nieva watched the unfamiliar woman looking through the colors. Poor dear. Couldn't decide either? "Having some trouble picking one?" she asked with a gusty sigh, eyeing a strip of pastel pink herself. Now, that was a pretty shade.

"Mmm, it is rather" she smiled, wondering if she could find something to keep Dua occupied whilst she hunted for paint...

"Yeah. My brother is better than me at this, but he's lost in here...." Stupid Senai-chan. Getting lost without her? "I mean, I don't want something DARK, but not something hugely girlish...." Why was she doing this again? Oh yeah. Because white was boring. Stupid owners of the stupid apartment.
Senai was looking at the variety of wood that they had. Interesting...but not paint.

Karael, after rejecting the shade of pink that Nieva shoved in her face, noted that the child tagging along with her... mother, most likely... was looking rather bored. Poor dear. She flicked a three-fingered hand at the row of paint samples, stretching her mind a bit to use her gift.
It worked, and a half dozen varying colors of paint samples whizzed out and twirled around her hand.
Nieva blinked. "Lost? That's not good," she pondered, sticking back the pink sample and looking for another one. "Not dark but not girlish? Maybe a light shade of green," she said, pulling a mint green paint sample out.
