[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

[Phone]

[tsukihime]

[Urk. There's a pause on her end of the phone. Jeeze...she saw her like that? Arcueid's voice drops in volume as well, and sounds just a bit sheepish.]

Oh...yea. I didn't know you saw that.

phone;

[adropofjupiter]

[Gods, Rin, you are the biggest tsundere to have ever tsundered at Marisa. And the witch thinks it's ADORABLE.]

I have home-baked cookies by the town's best baker in my possession. Chocolate. I might happen to be bringing a few plates of them with me to the drive in for the people I really like.

[Phone]

[adropofjupiter]

No one does. I'm glad Ciel took care of you.

...I'm gonna hug you when I see you, ze. Just so you know.

[Phone]

[tsukihime]

I'm sorry you had to see that.

[Phone]

[adropofjupiter]

Not your fault. You're better. That's what matters. Got it?

[Phone]

[tsukihime]

Mm.

[That's really all she has to say in response. She didn't know anyone besides Ciel and the kid she didn't even know had to see that.

At that point...she had no idea what to say in response.]

[Phone]

[adropofjupiter]

So... I have to take the Rat King with me.

[wizardoftheweek]

... You're inviting so many people... I think I'll pass.

[adropofjupiter]

S'okay, love. I don't wanna share you with anyone anyways. I'll come over tomorrow after I get done playing with Flandre, and it'll just be me and you.

...sorry I wasn't around this last week. I ended up with a nasty cold and didn't want to accidentally get you sick.

[badladyscramble]

It's not the colors, it's a the whole winged-witch thing. You're not an angel or a devil. It clashes with such a wide-brimmed hat. Your usual magic orbs are much better.

[Marisa should regain her laser skittles some time...]

[wizardoftheweek]

... About last week, actually...

[adropofjupiter]

What about it?

[Someone was so stuffed up she couldn't smell anything and thus was unaffected by the flowers she encountered while on autopilot.]

[Phone]

[tsukihime]

Why does he have to come?

[Phone]

[adropofjupiter]

It was either him or Merem himself was going to come along as a chaperon. Because he sucks. At least the Rat King is pretty cool. I promised him cheesey popcorn.

[Phone]

[tsukihime]

Why does Merem care anyway?

[Phone]

[adropofjupiter]

I think he just likes being a dick to me.

[wizardoftheweek]

... Well, it's better spoken of in private, I think.

[adropofjupiter]

...then we'll talk tomorrow. [There's a slight uncertainty in Marisa's voice. Like she knows she's not going to like what Patchy's going to tell her, but she doesn't know how much.] I gotta get going... help the Rat King decide what to look like for the movies tonight.

Tomorrow, love.

[AND TOMORROW--

Marisa will do her standard sneak-into-the-house thing and show up in Patchy's room.]

Re: [Phone]

[tsukihime]

That's one of his favorite things to do to everyone...as far as I can tell.

I kind of avoid him.

Action; Evening

[manipulator_of_objects]

That is correct. That girl must have spoken of me.

[Phone]

[adropofjupiter]

Don't blame you, ze. He's got that creepy infatuation with you.

[Yup, she heard the love declaration on Valentine's Day.

It's almost as creepy as his obsession with Ciel.

Action; Evening

[adropofjupiter]

Yup. Back before this resurrection crap happened. She said something about us meeting, but I don't remember what. We're friends, ze.

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett decides not to press the matter any further. The girl seems confident that she could defend herself from whatever strangers.]

Then what sort of criteria do you use to judge whether or not a person is "boring."

[Phone]

[tsukihime]

It's only kind of with me. It's hard to explain.

But Ciel's probably his only actual friend so he just clings to her. They work together or something.

[Phone]

[adropofjupiter]

Yeah, I guess he's part of that Burial thing, too.

Anyways... see you soon?
