[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

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

Sounds good, do you want me to bring snacks?

[adropofjupiter]

Cause they have as little money as I do, ze.

[Nope, not going to clarify on when she'll be back.]

You do realize being stuck as 'children' in this town means we generally have to deal with an allowance, right?

[adropofjupiter]

We're buying popcorn there, but bring anything else you want. I'll have some cookies since Ciel bakes when her panties are in a twist.

This means there's always some baked goods around my house.

[drank_the_milk]

I don't mind getting a little close.

[ex_seventh238]

Apology not accepted. And if you're referring to yourself, I'd rather sooner kill myself than having to contemplate such heresy for even an instant.

[GLANCES TOWARDS MARISA...]

But he's right about one thing. If he insists, you wouldn't be able to stop him no matter how hard you try. [why does everyone in this room suck. :|||||||]

[adropofjupiter]

I'm driving, so I don't really care how many we pack into the car. Just watch out for crusty old vampires that like to think they're pubescent boys that like to play with their rats. One's trying to come along.

[drank_the_milk]

It's okay, one of my classmates from home is a vampire, nothing to worry about.

[splitthebaby]

[Oh god, he is laughing. What sheer mirth.]

What a bold statement!

But I'll retract my insistence to go under one condition.

[His left arm disappears and a familiar white rat appears in his right hand. He offers it over to Marisa.]

You take my friend instead.

[adropofjupiter]

Except this one is a total drag and a dick that seems to want to ensure I don't ever get to have fun.

[adropofjupiter]

[Marisa rolls her eyes at Ciel and then looks at the Rat King. She remembers him.]

Yo. You're far cooler than Merem.

[She holds her hand out so he can crawl on her if he wants to.]

Do you like popcorn?

[ex_seventh238]

[son SHE WILL COME OVER HERE]

You gave up easier than I thought. No, he just likes cheese. [YOU DON'T GET TO ANSWER THAT ONE, MEREM. >:|]

[splitthebaby]

[The rat does speak up screw you!]

If there is cheese on the popcorn....

[As for you, Ciel.]

I didn't give up. I simply wished to discuss with you our future arrangements.

[ex_seventh238]

You haven't tried stealing from drone families yet? I'm surprised!

[She looks up, that wasn't a joke.]

[adropofjupiter]

[Yeah... 'future arrangements'. Riiiiight. So that's what vampires are calling it these days.]

I'll make sure there's some cheese popcorn for you then.

[Her eyes move to Ciel with a warning look. She doesn't want Merem here any more than absolutely necessary. She doesn't want him anywhere near her workshop in the basement, nor does she want her wards down there tampered with. And she really hates that she has no control in the situation. Because Merem sucks.

Though, she supposes she could ask Arc for help since Merem is absolutely infatuated with her.]

[action-1 is the loneliest number]

[doudemoe]

[Unlike in his previous classes, Minato's actually awake for this one. Even if it had nothing to do with today's actual lesson.]

A little late for that warning.

[adropofjupiter]

[Marisa kind of pouts.]

...it's not as much fun when they don't care, ze.

[adropofjupiter]

[Lunch totally counts as a class!]

No one was listening when the flowers were everywhere, ze. At least these ones weren't full of dead people. Just weird feelings.

[ex_seventh238]

[Unfortunately for Marisa Ciel and Merem is a complicated mess. She'd be the first to kill him but she would also be the first to whiteknight him. No it doesn't have to make sense because it really doesn't. He's just annoying, but as far as Ciel's concerned, he's still harmless.]

You could have just waited for my patrol. Do you actually miss me, Merem?

[splitthebaby]

Hardly. Doing what's most inconvenient for you is always the best option.

[Of course, the rat speaks at the same time.]

That's good then. Thank you. Should I take a different form for this trip?

[ex_seventh238]

So the means matter more than the ends? That doesn't make for a good thief.

Phone

[nozomisitter]

There's a drive in?

[adropofjupiter]

[Marisa will pay attention to Ciel and Merem's conversation, but focus mostly on the Rat King.]

You can do that? That's kinda neat. So far, just my girl friends are coming along, so... I dunno. They'll probably think you're the cutest thing like this. Except Shana, but Shana likes to pretend she doesn't think anything is cute and stuff.

Phone

[adropofjupiter]

Yup! It's kinda hard to miss.

Unless you're new, ze.

Re: Phone

[nozomisitter]

Yeah I'm new. December wasn't exactly the nicest time to see much of anything.

I'm Rin by the way.

[doudemoe]

[Right. And the lesson of today is, yakisoba can be recreated using spaghetti.]

Hopefully they won't use that idea.
