As the two women exit the store. Venus looks like she's been slapped with a metal glove and her dog got shot directly in front of her. "Sonata..." Venus began her voice wavering from trying her damnedest not to cry her fucking eyes out. Sonata continues walking with her cousin, looking at her through the corner of her eye, "I'm so so sorry about what happened." she says her eyes brimming with tears, "I didn't know that it would be so expensive." she admits, Sonata then pulls out one of the bundles and showed it to her cousin. She immediately went from sorrowful to outright remorse and regret. She knows exactly what kind of items her cousin has bought. No one of no one will be able to get their hands on it now. Incredibly expensive too. Sonata spared no expense in order to keep her possessions safe. There's no way in hell that her aunt can take them nor give them to Venus without all sorts of agony. She hated it when her items were taken and given away by her aunt, Sonata now has to get PC (protection cursed) items in order for her aunt not to get to her shit and just do what she pleased with it. Venus now feels incredibly awful as she knows why her cousin had to resort to this as PC items are not easy to afford as they are incredibly expensive. But they are incredibly effective. Especially against those that ignore your needs, wants and requests.
Perfect in Sonata's case.
The two continue to walk down the main road, Sonata remaining silent while the two women walk, tears silently going down the blonde's cheeks as she keeps weeping, apologizing in between sobs. Venus's apologizes are only met with silence.
Deafening silence.
A carriage appears besides them. An elegant white carriage with a glowing black treble clef on the doors with a raspberry gem within it. Sonata lets out a silent sigh as the door opens for them. "We are going home." an older woman voice of alto and mezzo soprano sounded. It wasn't a request. It was an order. The two women obeyed, Venus more openly begrudgingly than her (presumed permanently) poker faced mute cousin. As the two sit down, holding their shopping in their respective possession. Within the beautiful carriage, is a older woman with a few scars upon her face, one slash vertical scar upon her left cheek and a claw slash scar over her right eye, Her eyes a steely raspberry, her right eye darker raspberry than the other, slender body, dressed in a high collar dark green ankle length dress with lush green pumps and blackish green stockings, her glowing gold blonde hair with dark gray streaks within it and permanently reside tied in a tendril bun, sitting elegantly across from the two younger women. The only two accessories upon her entire person is The Musa family crest upon her neck in a choker and her beautiful mystic pink diamond wedding ring upon the white gold band. Her makeup only being chapstick to show her semi-full sharp lips. This is Mina Musa. Current head of The Musa Clan. Mother of Venus Musa and aunt as well as the current guardian of Sonata Musa.
The carriage begins to move and the ride is silent,
"I see you have gotten more supplies, Sonata." the woman says frankly.
Sonata doesn't answer the older woman. She hasn't spoken a single word to her in years.
"You can't be angry with me forever." Mina says quickly losing patience with her niece.
"Mom. She has every right to be mad." Venus says seeing how her mother is going to blow up again
"It couldn't have been that much."
"500 Sun Coin isn't that much?"
"WHAT?!" Mina looks at her daughter with wide eyes and mouth slightly agape, she didn't think it would be that bad
"Sonata also spent another 10 Sun Coin on the bags that are coiled around her arms." Venus points out, "so 510 Sun Coin in total." she finishes.
"But why would you need to spend so much, Sonata?" Mina turns to her niece again.
Only to be met with stone silence.
"Maybe because you always take everything she's ever owned and never give it back in one piece and lie to me about having her permission when you give me said item?" Venus wondered aloud sarcastically.
They had continued to talk (argue) all the way to The Musa Manor. A mansion of grand splendor. The Musa Manor has changed hands multiple times and thus will change according to the current head of The Musa Family. Originally it was Melody Musa, Sonata's mother...but due to her death, the status of head had been bestowed upon her sister, Mina. But due to Mina having custody of Sonata, who's of the original family head, her room stays the same and has different designs than the rest of the entire house. Sonata even chose to have different locks on her bedroom door and windows than the rest of the house. Having a different set of doors and windows have worked out in her favor because the master keys in her aunt's possession don't work as the master key of the entire Musa Manor has morphed to that of Mina's liking and thus, will not work on her bedroom door and the windows are of a different make and locking system, so they can't break in through the window. The master keys work on the rest of the house, including that of Venus's room but Sonata's room as she was of the original family head and so is of a completely different set from the rest of the entire mansion.
It also doesn't help that Sonata's bedroom also has it's own bathroom. Especially since the house remodel, privacy has gone up a thousand fold and there's no entry point besides going through Sonata's bedroom, to which she has always kept locked. She's the only one with the key to her bedroom and wasn't going to give up the key anytime soon. She also has her own garden that can be seen but not accessed by those that the occupant in question does not want to enter...but unfortunately, it doesn't really work that way. They can enter...but do they want to? Like truly want to?
The carriage passes through the iron gates and parks right outside of the glittering marble front steps. The three women get out, Mina and Venus now screaming at each other as Sonata gets out of the carriage and walks right up to the front door. She pulls out a black and dark pink treble clef key, unlocking the door with no problems. Sonata walks in while her cousin and aunt continue arguing while walking up the steps, allowing their servants take their things. Sonata silently flitted into the kitchen and placed her bags upon the counter directly next to her, she stands before the kitchen sink and with a deep sigh. She begins taking all of her kitchen supplies out of her bag, washing them all within the scalding hot water, the labeling and wrapping disintegrating within the soapy water. Her soap bottle cannot be lifted from it's spot on the counter nor found when placed under the sink. It's smelling of grapefruit, orange and apple with a pinch of mint flooding the kitchen as she scrubs the kitchen supplies with all of her strength (it's how she gets all the stuck on shit off in one go) and the nonstick stuff requires you to scrub it with everything you have in order to keep the nonstick pan a nonstick pan. Any or all scratch marks will not happen if you use every ounce of strength you have and will put them within the nonstick formula and make them vanish...and it's how to truly get all the stickers as well as the residue off and make it stay off. She did the same with cleaning and sharpening the knives. The knives can cleave through bone in one swoop if you put your back into it during the initial cleaning.
She had destroyed the designated kitchen sponge that her aunt had given to her. She has bought her own pack of kitchen sponges of the same Protection Curse variety. She has unwrapped the pack of sponges and used one of them, dull raspberry (the same as her eyes) and stark white, cleaning products are the same color as the owner's eyes. Remember, Sonata's eyes are dull raspberry while Venus has bright raspberry and Mina has steely raspberry. No Musa's eyes are the same kind of raspberry.
She had even gotten a dish rack for the overwhelming amount kitchen tools and utensils. She also pulled out her new basket filled with brand new cleaning products for the kitchen. The sponges had resealed themselves as she is using one of them and places them back into the cabinet underneath the kitchen sink, now sealing and hiding from all that is not the owner. The knives and anything sharp is what she spent the most time on, especially blenders and grinders. It also helps that her dish soap also doubles as a cleaner for the garbage disposal, as long as she doesn't turn it on while hand washing, all the food bits and grime actually disintegrate and add more firepower to the soap within the water and rinsing them off in ice cold water after running a bit of warm water over them. The dish soap will also moisturize and clean her hands as well as any exposed skin (her sleeves are rolled up and when rolled up, they stay up) as she washes the new things that she just bought. I'll wash my art supplies in my bathroom, Sonata thought as she looked at the upright bag that holds all of her art supplies from the corner of her eye. The bag untouched and unopened.
When finished with the heavy duty cleaning, she unplugged the sinks and watches them go down the drain, taking everything including the suds with it. Each one of the kitchen supplies that she has cleaned pricked her hands as she washed them, taking some of her blood in order to activate the PC, healing her hands immediately as she thoroughly washed them. She left the incredibly filled dish rack for the dishes to dry and walks away from them already drying her hands, seeing her aunt trying to move the bag filled with her art supplies and with multiple reluctant servants trying to help her but it won't yield, she grabbed the handle straps of the bag forcefully, shocking the would-be thieves as well as possibly scaring the hell out of them and yanked it from the counter, snatching the bag out of all their hands. Looking at the young woman as if she had just slapped a god as she swings the bag over her shoulder in her tight grip. Since the bags is of the same PC variant as the items...it had activated as soon as she had left the store, and let's not forget those bags never left her hands. It had taken it's amount of blood and then some as she held the bags in a tight grip. She has also placed her bag from the other shop in one of the bags. She had taken the empty bag that held the kitchen supplies that now only has the bag from the flower shop as well as the clothing items meant for the kitchen within it. She also made sure that the sponge was thoroughly rinsed out and put away, a cold stare to the reluctant servants and an even colder stare to her aunt, she walks away with the two bags in hand. "Did she really get PC bags too?!" Mina demanded and a loud sigh sounded at the entrance of the kitchen, "yeah. The bags together were 10 Sun Coin. If you were actually listening to me in the carriage, you would know that." Venus says exasperated and walks off, going to unpack her shopping from within her room.
In Sonata's Room
Sonata's room is something akin to royalty. The colors upon the walls is that of blue nebula that is ever changing. Hanging upon the walls are framed photographs of artwork and a glowing wall clock that plays music throughout the hour depending on the day. It changes the music every hour on the hour, all the while keeping in time with the ticking of the second hand of the clock. There're butterfly murals fluttering upon the walls itself. There're plants scattered throughout the room, her desk is of a beautiful gamboge and black color scheme. Covered with stacks of books, paper and pens in a cup, her chair a floating crystallized round chair that is big enough for her to sit comfortably without getting hurt or hitting her desk. The colors change depending upon the moonlight that night. There're also different kinds of light fixtures and candles in different holders scattered throughout her room.
You can tell that this room pretty much screams, no expense spared and privacy is king as well as, this is what I'm truly like.
There're three doors, one door is the entrance of her room that is a heavy duty door that is a mixture of wood and metal that is incredibly thick, the colors being a white sand, stormy gray, glowing raspberry and fuchsia and damascus black and gray, a large treble clef on the front with her name engraved in beautiful fancy calligraphy (glowing in burning gold with fuchsia outlining while the treble clef is raspberry) while a butterfly made of music notes with a gem in the center is on the back spanning the entirety of the back of the door; a second door, an ocean themed door that leads to her bathroom and a third door that is the colors of the sun, that door leads to her own personal classroom. Venus has one of pretty pink marble. She is the only one of the Musa Family that decided to go against the norm and make her entrance of her classroom something different than make it flow with the rest of the room, instead of a gemstone or some sort of marble...she decided to make it the sun. From sunrise to sunset, the colors will swirl and shine as if it were the very sun itself. Although it is a pretty stark contrast to the rest of her room, it fits in pretty well. After all, it's a beautiful room. She has a orb lantern with a spiral within it and a glowing rhombus diamond in the center, it's her library. Hanging above her bed, sometimes floating all across the room. The orb lantern does come off it's stand and float all around the room, depending on the day and it serves as a safe and secure space for any earthquake or natural disaster, or her aunt and her minions banging on her bedroom door. The swirl grows as her collection grows. All school related things are within her classroom, that includes books and markers.
She walks into the bathroom and begins to clean her art supplies. The canvases and easels have already been gone into the classroom. She has left her bathroom door slightly ajar so to let the steam out and to let the scents of her bedroom which has a lot of plants within it invade the bathroom, as well as the fact the potent scent of cleaner air out from the bathroom. She only uses magic within her bedroom. The door leading into her bedroom is practically sealed shut from all angles.
She sighs deeply as she thoroughly cleans all of her new class supplies.
