Prospecting {Sara/Open}

Chloe's been back in Siren Cove going on a week now and she still hasn't found the right place to call home, despite her realtor's best efforts. Living in a hotel is fun...for about two days, and then it gets real old real fast. She feels like she can't fully unpack, in case she finds a residence she needs to pounce on, and her purses are suffering for it. Poor babies need to be displayed, not locked up in stuffy, but seriously cute, suitcases.

So today, she's hit the pavement again, taking it upon herself to walk around Siren Cove and call on buildings that catch her fancy. But does she want to be near the water? Or in town? Possibly in a more private area just on the outskirts? The possibilities and Chloe's indecisiveness are bringing on a headache when she spots a shop, unmarked with a giant FOR SALE sign painted across the windows. Chloe tilts her head, because this storefront is incredibly charming. It's really too bad it's a shop and not a condo of some sort. As she admires the craftsmanship, the store owner steps out, almost running smack into Chloe. The two get to talking, and soon she learns from the other woman that the store was a failed attempt at an all-natural, homemade bath and cosmetic company, with a healthy mix of magic. The woman gave up on the shop idea when she quickly ran out of funds before she could even create her first batch of soaps.

Chloe takes the woman's business card, tucking it away safely into her designer bag as she wanders off to her next stop: Quill. Standing in line to order a coffee and a snack, she pulls the woman's card out of her purse, flipping it over in her fresh mani.

"Hm...owning a business wouldn't be bad, right?" She has the money. She could invest. Or buy the business plan off the woman. It's tempting, exhilarating even, but is she ready for that kind of responsibility? She hums to herself, completely lost in thought as she weighs out the pros and cons.

ooc: This post is for Chloe and Sara to become business partners. But if you'd like to run into Chloe just for interactions, feel free. She'll be chillin' at Quill and open to meeting new and/or old friends!

"I have tattoos, doesn't that count for something?" he asked. They were joking but sometimes he was weirdly competitive with his brother. Not that his brother cared, or anyone else, but sometimes it was tough to hear his Aunt praise Danny all the time.

"And I didn't say you're cute. You are very cute, but I said your eccentricities were cute."

"Okay, bonus points for the tattoos. Got anything else up those sleeves that'll push you past Danny?"

Chloe plays with her coffee cup, looking as innocent as possible. "I'm sorry, I can't hear you over how much you keep saying how cute I am!"

"Well," he said, leaning in closer, dropping his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "The other day I'm pretty sure I found a muscle in my sleeves. I think it was a bicep. Or at least half a bicep. A cep at the very least."

Working out was one of the things he actually liked that the record label made him do. He'd never been into exercise before but now he kind of liked it.

"I said you were cute once," he said, rolling his eyes at her even as he smiled. "Once today, I mean. I think I wrote on your 8th birthday card that you were the cutest girl in all of Maine."

She gasps, holding a hand over her mouth. "No! Hrm, but doesn't Danny have muscles as well? At least, he did seven years ago. Maybe he's withered away since then." Chloe knows all too well how in shape the Yoo boys are. Kim's management made sure to play up the group's physique and well, Danny's just Danny.

"And that statement still stands to this day. No one has overthrown me, have they?"

"Yeah, yeah, Danny has muscles too," Kim sighed dramatically. "But you can't buy a poster of Danny and hang it over your wall."

Which was actually mortifying, really, one of the things he'd done while "in character" that he looked back on as being absolutely ridiculous. Not that Chloe would be very sympathetic, he didn't think.

"No, and I've visited a lot more places and can say you're at least the cutest girl in New England. Possibly the entire east coast. I might go so far as to say east of the Mississippi."

"Oh my god, I'm going to search ebay for one of those," she laughs. The idea of sweet, quiet Kim Yoo from all those years ago posing as a sex symbol pop star is hilarious to her. And she won't let him live that one down.

"Fantastic. I'd hate to have to get my hands dirty taking out the competition. Speaking of, keep buttering me up and you just may win this one against your brother."

"You are an evil, evil woman," Kim groaned. She would absolutely not let him live that down, as she shouldn't. What good were friends if they didn't tease you mercilessly about ridiculous things you've done?

"Well, there's no competition so everyone is safe. You're the fairest one of all."

"Will you sign it for me and everything?" She's really enjoying this too much and rests her chin in her hand like a proper Phoenix Falling fan.

"I'm going to have to call Danny and see what compliments he can offer. But you're winning. And probably most definitely my favourite."

"Noooo," he groaned, hiding behind his hands. That would mean he'd have to come face to face with the poster and that would just be too embarrassing. He'd be mortified.

"Danny will tell you whatever you want to hear but he won't mean it like I do."

She taps her chin, thinking. "I bet I could find a pair of leather pants you wore on ebay too!"

"It's true, he's way too good at acting for me to ever fully believe his compliments."

"That is really disturbing," he said, making a face. At various points in his life Kim had had a crush of various degrees on Chloe and the idea that she would want his leather pants was weird.

"He's not THAT good."

"Hey, as a fellow pop star, you should know that fans hold onto and sell anything. No worries, it won't be for my personal collection. I don't have a Kim shrine, as much as I'm sure you're disappointed I don't." She can't help but laugh at Kim's face. Chloe was always fine with whatever fans did as long as it didn't involve stalking, but Kim's the type to enjoy his quiet privacy. No telling what horror stories he may have.

"I've had pants go missing. And seen pictures of their shrines," he added, making a face. It had been a weird thing and not the sort of thing that he missed at all. Now he knew where his pants had gotten to.

"No love notes or proposals? I have missing bras and found an engagement ring on my pillow in a hotel room. Still not sure how someone managed that one," she frowns. "But hey, Siren Cove isn't as creepy, right?"

"Oh yeah, I got that stuff all the time. Getting asked to prom too and stuff," he said with a shrug. That had never bothered him too much just because he knew that if everyone knew what he was really like they would have absolutely no interest in him at all.

"But yes, give me weird magic stuff anytime. That seems normal compared to other stuff."

"Kim Yoo, regular heart breaker," she sighs. "If only they knew you like I do." Chloe teases Kim mercilessly. She always has and she probably won't stop any time soon.

"Any idea what you're going to do in this weird magicy town now?"

"Oh, and how do you know me?" he asked, trying to look serious before smiling. Chloe knew that he was a giant, shy dork that could only act like a normal person when he was literally acting, pretending to be a character.

"I think I might open up a recording studio."

"Super shy and incredibly dorky Kim Yoo." She smiles at him to show she's teasing, but it's also very true. "Yeah? To record yourself or help others?"

"I am a completely normal amounts of shy!" Kim said, feigning indignation. "And I'm not dorky at all."

Kim was actually super dorky, he knew that, but he didn't mind. Plus, he knew that Chloe didn't mean it in a bad way, more as a term of endearment.

"Both. Anyone would be welcome to record and it would be a good place to record anything I want to do. Are you going to keep doing music?"
