[Action - School]

[Marisa is sitting on top of the table in the cafeteria, legs crossed, as she's finishing up telling a tale to the other students sitting around her at lunch.]

...and that's why you need to be careful when you see lots of flowers just suddenly appearing all over the place, like they did here, ze. They could be a bunch of dead people just waiting for a lazy shinigami to take them across the Sanzu to Higan.



[Action - Makeout Point - Evening]

[Anyone attuned to the flow of magic with the capacity to sense it feel a surge coming from Makeout Point. In fact, this sudden concentration feels VERY much like Shana's Guren no Souyoku Unrestricted Method that grants her wings of flame.

Only it doesn't feel quite right. It doesn't feel like fire, but... starlight? A shimmering yellowish glow can be seen from the Point.]


[Phone]

So who wants to go to the Drive In? It's almost dark and I feel like seeing a movie on that really big screen with popcorn and some friends and b--

[She cuts herself off. No, no drinking tonight because... The phone is partially muffled as Marisa yells something back into her own house.]

Oi! Ciel! I'm taking the car tonight. No, I'm not going to drink. Yes, I know how to drive. And no, you're not stopping me. I already got the keys, ze.

[And back to talking on the phone.] So who wants to come with me? No boring people allowed.

Comments

[adropofjupiter]

Usually the people who know they're boring or will probably bore a bunch of teenagers will automatically stay away. Otherwise, they need to have a sense of humor and stories to tell.

Mostly the 'no boring people' thing is to keep the sticks in the mud that think they need to keep an eye on me away.

[adropofjupiter]

You'll either get over it or deal, ze. It's not like I'd use this much anyways.

[adropofjupiter]

Believe me, she won't let you. Not even you can sleep through her class.

[badladyscramble]

Hmph. Well, it's not as if I care. You're the one looking silly.

[answerer_sword]

I suppose I am one of those "boring" people then. Still, if you need an escort, I can provide one.

[Unless, of course, all the teenagers knew some way to defend themselves.]

[adropofjupiter]

...an escort? I totally don't get why I'd need one of those. I already told on chaperon to screw off.

[answerer_sword]

[Now that she thinks about it, the girl's words make sense. Mayfield, with its drones, is, unless in the case of a pre-planned event from the town, safer than other places. The only danger might come from unruly residents, but she cannot think of any reason that they would attack teens heading to or from the movie theater.]

...Are everyone in your party capable of defending themselves? Can they be trusted not to attack anyone?

[adropofjupiter]

Woah, woah, woah, lady. I don't even know who you are and you're asking me stuff like that? You're being awfully worried about a bunch of teenagers going to the movies.

[answerer_sword]

You never know what might happen in this town.

[She sighs.]

But if you insist that you are alright, I suppose it is not my business who your party consists of.

[adropofjupiter]

And you never know who might look like they're just a girl but packing more magical power than an entire coven.

We'll be fine, ze.

[thebeastwithout]

C'mon. How bad could your friends be?

[Four hours later, Beast Boy will learn to never jump to any conclusions ever again. He will also be scuttling away as quickly as a tiny ant possibly can.]

[paradisemiko]

That's what scares me most: I'll have to actually use effort in that class! Someone did this on purpose...

[adropofjupiter]

[Marisa puts two fingers to Reimu's forehead and gives a little push.]

Duh.

[answerer_sword]

...Do you know of magic?

[She cannot help but think the girl's proposed example is a little too specific.]

[paradisemiko]

Of course: this is Mayfield. What a truly sinister town...

(She's just going to push her hand away. Playfully, of course.)

...since sleeping's not an option, any advice?

[adropofjupiter]

...who doesn't know of magic?

[adropofjupiter]

Pay attention, ze. You are capable of that, right? You gotta remember, you don't have your epic luck of the gods here.

[paradisemiko]

I can manage that. It's just going to be especially hard to do so in her class...

...maybe I'll get my luck back as a regain one day.

[adropofjupiter]

Probably. We just don't know when we'll get what back. Kinda sucks, ze.

[answerer_sword]

I mean as something other than rumors or legends. Do you practice it or know anyone who does?

[paradisemiko]

Makes me wish I could get my luck first so I can guarantee the good stuff coming earlier, like my spellcards. There's little a few spellcards can't solve.

[adropofjupiter]

Yup.

[Yes, she's being obstinate on purpose.]

[adropofjupiter]

I'll remind you that you said that the first time you get droned for trying to blow up something.

[paradisemiko]

...would whatever I'm trying to blow up at least blow up?

[adropofjupiter]

Not entirely sure, ze. Some places are unblowupable.
