[Decipher Nottingham]

During her down time in Texas she had opened up the lines of communication with Vivian. Honestly the world of zoom and all of the other wonders of communication caught her with feelings of amazement and fear at the same time but she did her best to make it work as she sat at her make up table and was listening to Vivian through her phone. Vivian was rattling on like a snake about something and Decipher was trying to make sure she contoured her nose correctly.

"I really think that this is something that you should be discussing with Micah, he understands all of that better than me," she said as she switched hands to get the opposite side of her face. "However he is in the mood of avoiding all phone calls at the moment so I will do my best to help you." Damn that girl for having her cousin's mind all confused and making him avoid his family. It was no wonder their family was so dysfunctional. "First things first though, did you get the break open geodes I sent you?"

She had taken the time to get everyone a gift except for Graysen because let's face it, she was the gift. Their friendship was wonderful and what else did he need. "I sent Trove a light board tablet to help with her color theory, Mila a robot pet shop so she can become more comfortable with her animalistic being of a self, Ribbon got butterfly wood beads and Micah, well he rejected my chemistry kit but I kept it for him in my camper just in case. Look at me thinking about everyone!"

It was a big accomplishment for her but what was even better was that she had did it all while bared faced and absolutely no make up that morning. "Well, did you Vivian?" she asked as she finished her nose and looked at herself. "Ooh lashes, do answer me please I'm still listening as I decide what lashes to wear today."

"I did and I will open it soon. I just have to make sure it is safe" she said as she listened to her and shook her head. "Decipher you know how we have been discussing what you need and what do you not need and we put make up in the do not need category for a little while? It does us no good to talk about these things if you do not listen." She turned and grabbed the box that contained the geodes and looked it over.

"If I break them it is going to throw the number that came in the box off and I do not know if that would be good and yes I would prefer Micah trust me but he saddled me with you so here we are," she said as she heard something about lashes and she wanted to slap her sister. "Lashes?" It made no sense to her why someone needed to go through all of that but she did not say anything. She got up leaving her phone and looked around. She was in this hotel room waiting on her cab and she knew she would be the first to arrive since it always fell that way when she was doing anything with Decipher. "I think I will be better off walking. All of my drivers have been off by a few seconds lately and that messes with me. This isn't going to be like last time or I'll put an arrow through that pretty face of yours."

She would never really but only because Decipher was family. "Oh I was also able to acquire what you asked for. I found some random street peddler and he sold it to me for around ten bucks. I would have never picked you for street jewelry type though you come across as someone who loves her diamonds and such which I can secure you some of those too if you need or want anytime I would just need a few weeks notice in advance."

Decipher was looking over her lashes as she listened to Vivian. "Just take the little hammer thing it comes with and reach back and smack them. It is not that hard and did it not say that it came with ten? Surely you can break that into twenty pieces easy." Oh. She went silent a minute and then spoke. "Numerical precision. Fuck I forgot, okay no big deal I can just ship all of that to Micah too but damn that means I need to get you something that works better."

She was becoming ecstatic because how could she forget. "Your my sister Vi, I should know you better than I do!" she exclaimed as she put her lashes on and flickered her eyelids to make sure that they were on good. "Beautiful, beautiful!" she said as she blew an air kiss to the make up table and stood up. "Look I need to put my shoes on and then can you meet me at the corner of 5th and Elm instead? I love you lots see you there!"

She got up and opened her shoe closet and picked out a pair of pink, sparkling heels to go with her white pants suit. She needed a splash of color against all of her color of choice white as she slid into her shoes. Luckily it was not a long walk for her as she waited for Vivian to show up and to no surprise it was located by one of her favorite toy stores. She loved watching the smiles that would be on their faces when they walked in without a toy and came back out with one. She went in and bought a jump rope and a few packs of gum. As she waited she looked down at her feet and heels and slowly began to attempt to jump rope. "One, two," she said as the rope got caught up under her heel and she almost fell. "Dang it this is hard." It was not the heels she knew that for a fact or so she thought anyway and she was never raised to quit so she gave it another go and her height got in the way. "Fuck that shit," she said as she railed back and slung the jump rope to a kid and yelled. "You can have that!" she said as she looked down at her shoes. "Probably would have scraped up the bottom of my shoes anyway stupid piece of rope, don't worry babies I would never mess you up."

She thought about saying no but for the past few days she had found herself wanting out of that hotel room and though the destination had changed she was still getting out so she went with the change and would sort it out when she seen Decipher face to face. As she finally rounded the corner she shook her head.

She waved a small amount to get Decipher's attention and then looked at her. "I swear I see you and it's still hard for me to believe how over the top you are." She would never be like that but she welcomed everyone being who they are even if she did not understand others a lot. She had enough to keep numbers sorted. "Well here we are and whenever you are done talking to your shoes is it?" She would never get it but she thought the whole feminine thing was too much then again women were hot but that was different. "What is it that we are doing here again?" She was intrigued however she was also cautious and she knew Decipher never seemed to be. "I am going to assume it is not a robbery since that is more my thing." She looked around again. "What is with you and these meeting places?"

Decipher watched the traffic as she stayed leaned up against the wall as she was waiting on Vivian. The more that she thought about it the more she slightly realized that maybe she should not have thrown the jump rope but in a flash of a second she disliked it and wanted it gone, besides she could always buy another one. She wiped the dirt off of her shoes one more time and looked up at Vivian. "Hey if a girl treats her shoes right then her shoes will never leave her unlike a lot of other things," she said as she shrugged.

She knew it was a strange way to look at it but it made sense to her. She nodded as she clasped her hands together and reached out to hug Vivian and then she let the hug go. "I like it here. I mean look at the corners they are nice shapes and such and plus this is a special store but I do not know I felt like I needed some fresh air."

If she did not get outside every once in a while she would get really bad cabin fever and she did not want to drag Vivian through the experience quite yet. "Besides there is a shop a few blocks down that has a lot of objects that center around numbers and I want to get you something from there if you do not mind to go with your geodes."

Being around decipher was a lot like being around something that she knew she would never get. Still Decipher was her sister and she was going to do her best to try and always have the two of them have a really good relationship as she smiled. "I bet somewhere inside of your head something is always running around and being formed. It would explain to me why you have such a burst of energy all the time." She smiled after because in a way she found it interesting though she also found it annoying more than that. "I suppose as long as you have shoes then you have everything you need."

She ran her hands through her hair and looked around. The streets were busy and there were from what she could count inside of her head about forty people out right now. "All corners are nice," she added before nodding. "I swear you would sleep in a shop if they allowed you. You need to add shopaholic to your list of things that make you weak," she laughed. It was not bad Vivian just could never run through money the way it seemed Decipher did. "Lead the way," she said. "I might see what I can get a five finger discount on though."

She tried her best not to think about the inside of her head. She did not think that she was anymore abnormal as any other person but everyone was different. "I like to think that just because I have a child like mind it keeps the things that I experience fresh and new. I will be honest enough and say that I thrive on experiences where as some people would say differently, say that experiences scare them and I have been there but I still do my best."

She shook her head. "No need for you to feel like you need to do theft today. My inheritance well some of it got put in the bank today to add on to what I had been saving so we can buy it. Next time I see you, you can feel free to steal whatever you want once I am out of distance. I do not look down on it or anything, I just, well there are very strict restrictions and such when it comes to my monthly allowance of money so the more it appears I am doing well the better," she said as they arrived. "You know how it is right, no matter how much of an adult you are parents are still parents."

She liked to listen to Decipher mostly because it helped her to not keep count of every single thing that was going on and though there were times that the conversations seemed a bit childish she had grown used to it over the past few months. Sometimes she also felt like there was more to her sister than could be seen but it was not her place to point it out. "I guess that is a good way to look at it. I mean when I see children walking and looking at stuff it is easier to see the wonder in the eyes of small children that it is adults." Kids were amazing but so needy though which was why she simply looked at them and never had yearned to put being a mother in her pocket not that she could ever see herself up under something so displeasing as a man.

"Okay no theft today but next time if you are being so gracious to let me steal," she said as she laughed. "I get to pick where we go and I would prefer a meeting at night. I feel like if you really want to see me grab something good the darker and more wide of a space the better." It was cliché at it's best but the truth. "Yeah if it appears you are doing well then they staff off of you but Decipher don't you get tired of putting so much into how you appear? I mean make up all the time and every time I see you you are so put together and pretty." It was sickening but it also took a lot of effort too. "Nothing would ever be wrong if you just did not pull everything together so much just once in your life."

"I wonder about a lot I mean I am sure that everyone does but I wonder about what most adults would consider silly things like why is a bird red and another bird blue and why do people walk faster on one foot more than other but that is not why I wanted to see you today. She took a second and nodded. "Okay that is good with me you pick and I will meet you and it can be an adventure all of it's own."

She stopped and looked at Vivian. "I do, I mean I have natural beauty obviously but if it is not help with make up then someone, anyone might get close enough to truly see how broken I have always been and I do not want that. We are strong Vivian, and besides tears could never form from my ducts anyway at least now without getting mixed up with my make up and I do not want that." Vivian seemed to care about how Decipher was doing and she did like that. "Well there was one time recently," she said as she leaned up against a wall. "As you know I have been traveling with Graysen ever since his grandparents kicked the bucket and when you spend that much time with someone, well you don't always have time to look your best. I had done a bender and I had to throw up and after I mean my face was as naked as a baby's ass and yet..."

She paused and felt her eye twitch. "Anyway I gave him four affection points for that. I am almost officially more closer with Graysen than my cousins. Only because I told him once he reaches fifty or so he could buy me a car, but you know me I never take a gift without giving one in return and you should also know that is why I have to butter you up to help me steal a baseball card. I don't remember who the guy is, I'll have to him but you'd help me right?" She lifted herself off the wall as she turned into the shop. "Come on, we are here! I know it's more of a scammy numerology shop but it will still be fun, are you ready?"

It was strange to her for them to be talking not that they had not before but they had not really known one another when she was younger only after being adults and that made her think about Mila too. She knew she needed to get in touch with her soon but one sister at a time so for now she spoke to Decipher. It was good to know that Decipher would want to talk to her even if she did not need anything from her.

"Natural beauty is rare you should show it more. If someone is only around you because you look pretty one I can cut them for you and two you do not need that sort of superficial in your life trust me you bring your own superficial to the table and too much of a good thing will ruin it." She nodded. "Just because you were broken does not mean that you are not together now it just means you are fragile and that is something I would bet a lot of people could relate too but your choice in the end." She perked up at the mention of Graysen. "Yes so you keep telling me, time together is special."

She had only met him once but seen a lot of pictures of him and she could understand why Decipher kept him around. He looked as if he could throw a decent punch for a man. "He seen you and he stayed?" Wow. "Well I mean he is used to men and must so not like you are competing with much." It was true and funny as well as she laughed as she heard what Decipher said. "Oh right you don't believe that you could love someone because you love yourself so you allow yourself affection points with people."

It was strange but it seemed to work for them so who was she to judge. Besides Vivian thought it showed just how much she cared at least when it came to this guy. "Or I could help you make him a gift. You could add all the sparkle and glitz and it would come from your heart, maybe he will return your affection." She walked in behind Decipher and looked around. "So much in a tiny space, where should we start first?"
