[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.

[hahaha walking into the living room]

You don't know how exciting I can be.

And I'm living here part time.

[adropofjupiter]

I didn't agree to this. This was my house first! [Neve rmind that Spades was there before her. HE DOESN'T COUNT.]

[splitthebaby]

You agreeing or disagreeing has no bearing on the matter.

[adropofjupiter]

WHY are you living here part time?

[Oh, she wants to Spark you for being a creepy douchebag, Merem, but she's not letting people know she has that back.]

[ex_seventh238]

[Leaning on the doorframe with arms crossed and this face.

Talk about unwelcome home intruders. :|]

[splitthebaby]

[It's all your fault, Ciel. And yes, he knows you're there, Ciel.]

I'm living here because I wish to be with Ciel. If you don't like that, you can attempt to force me out. Any attempts are welcome.

It's unfortunate that you have no method of killing me, though.

[adropofjupiter]

I don't kill people. And you're acting like the creepiest stalker boyfriend ever, straight out of Wuthering Heights, ze.

Totally not cool and will not get you anywhere with her. Or any self-respecting woman for that matter.

[Does Marisa know Ciel is there? Maybe... maybe not. WHO KNOWS?]

[ex_seventh238]

[Going to pipe up now with the flattest tone ever while maintaining her position. :|]

That's enough nonsense from you, Merem. What do you want? [Also silent cue for Marisa that she can go off and do her own thing, mama's here and will take care of this.... as "best" as she can.............]

[splitthebaby]

[And Merem gives the bigger silent cue to keep Marisa around.]

How shameful that everything from you has to revolve around feelings. To degrade Ciel in such a manner...you must think she's so boring that a dull, ignorantly old vampire would want to be in a relationship with her.

I'll apologize on her behalf, Ciel.

As for me, I want to go with her.

[adropofjupiter]

...actually, yeah. I kinda do.

[Sorry, Ciel, but you are boring. And a nag. And totally in need of getting laid, but sadly only an old, dusty vampire will have to do because no one else is that desperate. Or Arcueid. Really, she likes you, Ciel, but you ANNOY HER SO MUCH.]

Anyways, you're not coming with me, ze. So suck on it and stay here with... how does Arcueid refer to her? Ah yeah... Stay here with the nun.

[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. :|||||||]

[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]

[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.

[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.]

[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?

[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.

[ex_seventh238]

But you're not just inconveniencing me, you're also troubling third parties. Do you really mill out enjoyment over such pointless things?

[peers over]

Oh, please tell Hirai-san to not do anything to him, otherwise I'll have to go talk to her myself!

[splitthebaby]

Ask me that again when you get my age.

[Why Ciel.]

A-Are you sure. Being a teenage girl may be easier...

[adropofjupiter]

Shana won't be a problem, ze. And if she decided to get all Flame Haze-y, I'll just stop her.

[Does Rat King like to be pet? Cause Marisa tries to pet him a little.]

If you want to... I guess it's okay. You'll take up more room and all, but if you really don't want to be cooed over and able to sit on my shoulder to watch the movie... alright.

[ex_seventh238]

No way, I don't ever want to be that senile. Not even as a joke or a nightmare.

[Why Merem.

Why Marisa.

Why here.]

Please and thank you, then! [Yeah Shana overdoes things sometimes...]

[splitthebaby]

[The rat looks heavily in debate. He doesn't want to have too much attention focused on him. He is a rat, after all, not a cat or a dog. But then again, he doesn't want to be a burden. Aahh, the choices.]

Why don't we just let the girls have fun and wait to discuss this when they're gone.

[adropofjupiter]

... or you can just hide on my hat, ze.

[Regardless, she heads out to leave the vampire and the nun to BOND. And go get some cookies to bring along.]
