first lesson | Why You Should Avoid Flowers In Mayfield

[protectshisclass]

[Feb. 13/14, ACTION, around town]

[So by now, you should know that the mint's effects include the need to hit on everyone in sight till they give you a kiss, right?

Negi has been sniffing mint since the 13th, and now he's wandering around town putting the moves on everyone that...well, moves. Yes, boys and girls, for two days only, the Kissing Machine is in town and completely aware of his actions. Wherever you are, whoever you are, you are not safe, because he is sidling up right next to you with a rather charming smile.]

Ah, hi. Has anyone told you that you're very beautiful yet?

[Yes, fellas, that is a ten-year-old hitting on you. If it helps, he can kiss very well. Just ask Yuna.]

Comments

[tsunmuse]

[A kid hitting on her. Wait... wait a minute this was... librarian-like clothing check, round glasses check, adorable messy brown-red hair check... Ako grinned.]

Not today no actually. But you... are you by any chance Negi Springfield?

[protectshisclass]

[Oh. Well, at least he doesn't have to work for it.]

Ah, yes, I am. I'm afraid I don't have the same pleasure for you, though.

[tsunmuse]

I thought so! You look exactly like Yuna described you.

[Her grin grew catty as she leaned in.] She asked me to pass something on~

[protectshisclass]

[He leans in as well, looking rather excited.]

Is that so? I'd like to know what it was, please.

[tsunmuse]

Oh it's this~

[And without warning, she grabbed Negi and pulled him into a kiss. A long, soul aching, toe-curling kiss.]

[protectshisclass]

[Okay, he was expecting a kiss on some level, but not quite like this. His eyes widen as his brain just shuts down for a second or two, before he returns the kiss just as strongly, his arms wrapping around her.]

[tsunmuse]

[Yeah that kiss was pretty epic on the scale of things, not quite Chachamaru pactio level but close. And soon, she pulls away with a light smile.]

That was from Yuna.

[hegemonstratos]

*Einhard just stared a Negi, blinking in confusion.

Asteion, he flying magic suttfed tiger plushy/device just flew into Negi's face and started trying to bite him.*

Teo! Stop that!

[protectshisclass]

[Poor guy. He wasn't even all that cool in the first place and now he's being bitten by a flying magic stuffed tiger. And flailing about, as well.]

[hegemonstratos]

Teo! Stop that now!

*Her device stops attacking and slowly moves back to rest on Einhard's shoulder.

He's still growling at Negi though.*

Are you alright?

[protectshisclass]

I'm fine, ma'am. It's all right.

[And then, without missing a beat,]

But I would feel a little better if you kissed it better.

[hegemonstratos]

*Einhard's face just went beat red as Asteion moved to start going after Negi again.

This time at least Einhard was able to grab the device by the tail and keep him away from Negi.*

If you don't want him to keep doing that, I suggest you stop.

[protectshisclass]

With what?

[Yes, he honestly has no idea what she's talking about.]

[hegemonstratos]

*Einhard blinked.*

With those kinds of comments.

[bunshins]

Wha-what? [ Sputtering, as he was drinking a coke. ] Don't be weird, 'tebayo!!

[protectshisclass]

Well, you do! In fact, I bet you're the reason why people fall in love.

[...Negi why would you even.]

[bunshins]

I'm the -- what?! [ He shakes his head, sputtering. ] Don't even joke about that! What's wrong with you?!

[protectshisclass]

Nothing's wrong with me! I'm just telling the truth.

[bunshins]

Okay, whatever.

Can you go away now?

[protectshisclass]

But I like it here!

[bunshins]

...

[ Slowly backing away. He knows that look. ]

[drank_the_milk]

[Well, looks like Yuna's about to lose a second kiss to Negi, since she's still under the effects of mint herself. She stops, laughing cheerfully and winking back at him.]

Awwww, Negi, you little charmer!

[protectshisclass]

Thanks, Yuna-san!

[Does he have any concept of personal space? Judging from the way he's drawing ever closer to her, the answer is "no".]

[drank_the_milk]

[Hey, that's cool by her. They can smell minty together.]

You wanna try for a second pactio or something? Chamo-kun isn't even here, you know.

[protectshisclass]

I was just thinking, the only time we kissed was for the pactio. It's such a waste, really...

[Later, he is going to regret this.]

[drank_the_milk]

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing! Maybe we should fix that, huh?

[protectshisclass]

We definitely should.

[And that is all the warning she is going to get before Negi leans forward and presses his lips to hers.]

[drank_the_milk]

[see icon]

[dreamsofmist]

[Chrome turns a lovely shade of red, but gives the boy a shy smile.]

Oh, um, thank-you.

[She leans over to give him a peck on the cheek.]

[protectshisclass]

[He's going to regret doing this once the mint wears off. He's going to slam his head into the wall, punctuating each thud with a "Why? Why? Why?"

But right now, under the mint's effects, he moves to receive her kiss on the lips.]

[dreamsofmist]

[Seeing as she's under the influence of the same plant, Chrome is only too happy to reciprocate.]

[She'll probably regret it later, though in a more confused "Um, why was I going around town kissing random strangers again?" way.]

[protectshisclass]

[If Chamo was here, by now there'd be a circle around them and a card falling out of the air, and at least Negi wouldn't feel so weird about kissing random strangers on the street. As it is, though, there is no circle and no card.

And right now, he doesn't really care. All he does care about at this very moment is that this is a very good kiss from a very pretty person.]

[enemyradar]

Huh?

[Who is trying to-- Oh, it's Negi.

...

Wait. It's Negi.

She'll just...laugh a little before speaking.]

Hey, what's with you?

[Read as: NO. STOP. THIS IS WEIRD.]

[protectshisclass]

[NOT GOING TO.]

Ah, nothing. I just didn't realize how pretty you could be until today.

[enemyradar]

Oh. [An awkward giggle.] Uh...thanks.

[Now she's side-eyeing him pretty hard. Rise's patience with this kind of thing won't last for long, but she's giving him the benefit of the doubt...for now.

Dun dun dun.]

[protectshisclass]

[Poor Rise.]

You remind me a little of Nekane-oneechan, too. You two are really very beautiful. And pretty. And cute.

[The thing is, he's never felt the urge to kiss Nekane, whereas right now he just wants to kiss Rise.]

[enemyradar]

Well, thanks for the compliment. But aren't those all pretty much the same thing?

[Well, she's not sure how much she believes her own words, but she'll say anything to try and make him stop. Her tone is just screaming "STOP BEING WEIRD RIGHT NOW".]

[protectshisclass]

[NOPE, SORRY.]

I just needed to put some emphasis on it.

[Inching. Ever. Closer. This is your chance to run now, Rise.]

[enemyradar]

[BACKS. AWAY.]

Well. You can stop now.

[She's dealt with creepy stalker!fans before, but this is strangely more unsettling. She'll just...push him back with her hand on his face. Firmly.

...And continue to back away as far as arm's length will let her.]
