“Good guess, I’m glad to see you’ve remembered me!“ There’s absolutely no animosity in her tone as she replies, smiling.  His client... of course. And he’d won too, then. It clicked in her mind, and her smile quickly turns into a delighted grin as she claps her hands. “Congratulations on your win! That’s wonderful news. Changing majors truly worked for you, it seems.“ She catches the light shining on his badge in such a way that she can’t help but quickly glance at it, and all of a sudden it feels so real and yet so strange. They’re not in college anymore, but there’s something about the goodness of his heart that hasn’t changed since then. “Trouble? Oh, not at all! Not this time.“ She quickly waves in a dismissive way as if to whoosh away the thought. “Detective Gumshoe asked me to bring him some evidence here, and I obliged.“ Assuming Phoenix knows the man based on the fact they were in the same courtroom moments ago, there’s no need to detail more. “How about you? How long have you been a lawyer for?“ There’s curiosity in her tone, and as Tarokki awaits his response, she spots a confetti on the top of one of his spikes. “Um, may I help?“ She doesn’t move her hand too close in order to not intrude on his personal space.

The courthouse was not the first place that usually came to mind in regards to handing out case files, yet that’s where Tarokki stood, more precisely in the lobby, folder in hand and waiting for the detective to exit the courtroom to retrieve said file. 

Lightly stretching to suppress a yawn, she hears the sound of footsteps before the door clicks open, the detective being the first person to get out, having barely escaped the flurry of confetti that was flying in the room behind him. With a “Thanks, ‘pal, you really saved me a lot of time here!“, he left with the document, most likely for another work-related task. Tarokki wondered if the man ever slept at all. Another quick look around to make sure she hadn’t left anything behind and she would leave as well, ready to enjoy her day off. Except when she does scan the room, Tarokki stops halfway through, frozen in place as she stares straight ahead. She blinks. Once, twice, to make sure her eyes aren’t deceiving her, and it turns out they aren’t. The familiar dark spikes of hair were the first things that caught her attention, but now she’s looking for other distinctive signs. There’s no flashy pink sweater this time, instead having been replaced with a blue suit which, juxtaposed with the determination in his eyes, gives this man a more serious and more mature look than she’d remembered him having. So he’d fulfilled his dream, then. “Phoenix?” She’s quick to speak his name, walking towards him with a smile on her face. The years apart from each other had no effect on her fondness for her old friend, which she was now eyeing with great curiosity. “Did…. did you just come out of a trial?“

It doesn’t take a genius to piece together that the expression on the woman’s face isn’t a happy one. 

“I’m really sorry, have I upset you in any way?“ Her expression is one of genuine worry and a mix of sadness, at the sight of the crumpled concepts of the LAPD Sanrio characters. They looked so adorable, too.

To see someone crawling around their office floor is one thing, but to see them not only crawling on all fours, but circling their desk like a dog is…another.

“Where is it? Where is it where is it where is it…?!” the young woman is mumbling, but her anxiety makes this loud and clear.

She’s so focused on investigating every inch of the floor, she doesn’t even notice the other woman peeking in the doorway…

[grandepretresse]

{{I’ve had very very busy two weeks, sorry for the inactivity! Getting to replies very soon. I hope you’re all well!}}

[grandepretresse]

The situation makes it impossible for Tarokki to stay fully serious, and a laugh escapes her lips before she can register it.

“Well, that’s great! You won’t need to torment yourself with questions of its whereabouts now.” There’s no mockery in her tone, she’s genuinely happy for the woman. “It’s a really cute pen, I can see why you cherish it so much.”

“Hm?“ Her interest was piqued, and Tarokki curiously looked as Imogen perked up, stepping closer to look at her drawing. “Oh, those are really great and cute ideas! You’ve really thought this through, it would definitely make more sense like–” 

Wait. She stops mid-sentence, staring at the pen in the woman’s hand. Is that Pompompurin? “Miss, would that be the pen you were looking for, perchance?”

It was a blessing that there weren’t too many drivers on the road at the time, and the pleasant weather definitely helped make the experience less daunting. Of course, too many was loosely subjective and only applied to the US. Back home, she would have been terrified by the number of cars surrounding her. Tarokki had gotten used to driving after so many years in the country, but she still had that mildly anxious feeling of being in a state of hypervigilance. The crime scene’s location made it difficult to avoid taking the car today, so, with the utmost care, the brunette drove her way to her first destination. Miss Misham’s office wasn’t too far, thankfully. And having a passenger would help ease her nerves on their way to the scene. With the car neatly parked, Tarokki rang the bell to the art conservationist’s studio, thinking about this morning’s brief exchange over the phone as she waited. With the detective busy for the day, the responsibility to go pick up the consultant for this case had fallen on Tarokki. There was suspected forgery, and the department had chosen to call on Vera Misham’s expertise. The brunette had promptly called the woman to discuss the details of the case and convene a time for the meet-up, which was now. 

“Greetings Miss Misham, thank you for helping us on the case.“ She said with a smile as the door opened. “Is there any equipment that you need help carrying to the scene?“

{The difference between icons Tarokki and concept Tarokki still baffles me because in threads she appears as:

and when I draw her she looks like this:

???}

[grandepretresse]

She takes a step back in order to give the woman some space as Imogen gets up.

“A pink police rabbit, at that. My Melody’s cute pink shawl and big ears might clash a bit with the place.“ The brunette briefly chuckles at the thought while scanning her surroundings a second time to see if she’d catch a yellow pen around. “Hmm.. I see. And you’ve already looked around your desk too. Could it be that you left in in another room or near the coffee machine?“

 real name — Tarokki Léanne Halia

single or taken — Single. She had a long-term relationship in the past, but moving overseas proved too much of a challenge for it to last.

abilities or powers — It’s not a power per se, but Tarokki is very intuitive. Over the years, she’s learned to stay calm under pressure and be very observant of her surroundings. Very in tune with her cards as well.

eye color — Deep brown with hints of red around the pupils

hair color — Purple-ish brown

family members — A maternal grandmother and a younger brother. She has other relatives but doesn’t know much of them/isn’t close to them.

pets — Tarokki used to have pet rabbits at her grandmother’s countryside house in Europe. She doesn’t have much time for pets of her own now, but she certainly loves all kinds of animals.

something they don’t like — Extremely cold weather, being on screens too much (oh the irony of her current occupation)

hobbies / activities — Reading cards, drinking as many different teas as she can find, cooking, art-related activities such as drawing, painting, and playing video games. (The last one she doesn’t like to say as she believes it contradicts the image people have of her.)

ever hurt anyone before — Yes. She used to have extremely poor self-esteem and worldviews as a teenager. It caused her to isolate herself and she tended to be very snappy and closed off from others, which hurt her relatives, especially her younger brother. She decided to change when she saw the impact it had on him.

ever killed anyone before — No, perish the thought.

animals that represent them — The turtle can be quite representative of her, especially in a more grounded state. They’re said to represent wisdom, patience, protection, and receptivity, which matches Tarokki on her best days. The rabbit is another candidate for its gentleness and sensitivity.

worst habits — Tarokki tends to retreat in isolation whenever she’s faced with issues of her own. She doesn’t know how to ask for help, and the limited friends she’s kept due to her move has made it hard for her to open up to the people around her and show emotions such as sadness or anger. Her sociable and grounded persona is a little too good to a fault, as it makes people easily trust that she has everything under control and never needs help when it isn’t always the case. Can be uptight and extremely critical when it comes to herself and how she can be perceived in the world.

role models — Her grandmother, people who follow their dreams and listen to their intuition. She’ll be more easily swayed into admiration for intuitive/spiritual people, such as Mia or Maya.

sexual orientation — She’s pan/bi with no particular leaning. She tends to fall in love for how a person is rather than how they look, but that isn’t to say that she finds no appeal in how a person presents themselves.

thoughts on marriage / kids — She hasn’t given it much thought after her last relationship. Tarokki isn’t against the idea of getting married, but finds the whole ordeal and paperwork over-the-top and unnecessary proof of the union of two people. As for kids, she’s quite good with other people’s children, but is a little hesitant to have kids of her own due to her background. 

style preferences — Dark/Light academia + cottagecore fit her fashion sense quite well. She likes to wear more muted colours in work settings, and indulges in pastels in her free time. She isn’t impartial to a more mature style on formal occasions.

someone they love — Her family. She loves her brother dearly, and makes time to call him and their grandmother at least once every week. She’s also very fond of her friends. Once you’ve gained her trust, you’re bound to find a very loving and loyal friend in her.

approach to friendships — She is not that bad at making friends provided her interlocutor is a bit receptive. She is quite friendly and warm, so people tend to open up to her a little easier. Quite inquisitive and curious, direct when needed, but never with ill-intentions.

favourite drink — Tea, especially matcha. She occasionally likes to indulge in fizzy drinks if they’re not too sugary, and water.

favourite place to spend time at — She’s turned her living space very homey, so she naturally loves spending time there. Think of a hobbit home, that’s what she always strives for. Cafés, florists, bakeries, and libraries are her favourite when it comes to places outside of her home. Huge bonus if the place is all four in one.

swim in the lake or the ocean — Both! She loves being in water.

their type — She admires people who stay true to themselves and believe in themselves and their dreams. Confidence is beautiful, especially when it is accompanied by an even bigger heart. Someone who can express themselves, their desires, and passions, and with whom she can have a generous dose of playful banter and complicity will make her heart flutter.

camping or indoors — Indoors, but she’s adventurous enough to want to try camping, with the right person/people.

Tarokki’s smile grew as she caught the woman’s gaze. The newfound confidence in her words warmed the brunette’s heart.

“Absolutely! As you said, Pompompurin is the best fit for this place out of the rest of them. A friendly police rabbit would definitely be a bit off the mark, hehe.” She decided that the My Melody stationery would have to serve outside of work, but that was a tangent for another time. “Of course! It’s indispensable for your work, so we must find it fast. Is there any chance that one of your colleagues could have borrowed it?”

“Mhm...“ The brunette nodded as she listened to Imogen recall the events before the disappearance. “That certainly makes it easier. If you were using it recently it mustn't have gone too far.“ She was about to ask something when the woman described the pen, and the question that left her lips was entirely different than the intended one.

“Pompompurin? You like Sanrio characters too?!“ It's like her excitement jumped through the roof at the mention of the familiar mascot.
