[ piper hasn't been around long enough to have anything to clean out for... spring cleaning, she supposes. but! the lunar new year is something she can do and she likes the idea of wish lanterns. it's like the disney movie her dad tried to take her too before he got distracted by work. there's a touch of melancholy, but piper still takes part, whispering her wish and letting it go.

and then, quite suddenly, she is covered in glitter, letting out a startled yelp. there is confetti everywhere: her hair, inside her hello kitty tank top and the sleeves of her silvey jacket, she's pretty sure it's in her boots, stuck to her dark braids. she spits a little out of her mouth. why is it always confetti? ]

At least it's not glitter, [ she muses, picking confetti out of her hair. ]

[ piper is a vegetarian ever since her dad drove her past a slaughter house in chino, but she isn't the kind of harp on about it. if she sees meat, she simply moves on to the next one, happy to try everything else and asking curious questions to the vendors, accepting their suggestions on things to try and collecting a little to go bag.

vendors are just giving it away to her so she usually just leaves the money on their stalls and offers up some of her food to the people nearby to try. ]

Do you want half?

[ opposed to not having anything to clear out, piper is at least bringing things in to her shared bedroom on the sixth floor. she's used to living with the wild assortment of her siblings through aphrodite; if she can live with drew, she can live with anyone. she does bring in a pretty blue blanket for her bed and screens for privacy, but they're made with a gauzy, thin fabric that can easily be pushed aside.

she tends to watch tv on her device rather than the communal television, but she makes good use of the communal kitchen, making leo's vegetarian enchiladas as a comfort food or miscellaneous veggie sandwiches. she doesn't seem to mind the company and she's always ready with an open, friendly smile and a kind word to the people she's living with. she's neat, mostly, but um. well, she's a teenager so. candy wrappers will pile up in the trash, don't ask questions. ]

[ do yo thang. ]
