[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.

I do!? (That easily wakes her up. She observes the spot Marisa points to; that is indeed the Yama's name and Reimu is indeed looking more worried.) That...she'll make me go to her class every day! Do I have her every day!?

(Reimu can't see it, but the schedule says she'll get to see the Yama 4 out of the 5 school days. She gets lucky on Wednesday.)

I'm...not even sure who else I have. How did you get used to school?

[adropofjupiter]

You just get used it it, ze. And find things to do to make it go faster. I tend to work on magic formulas in class.

[paradisemiko]

Perhaps I could draw some charms or work on new spell cards...

...both of which I assume won't work in the Yama's class. Which subject does she teach, anyway?

[adropofjupiter]

Law something-something.

[paradisemiko]

Of course...

I guess there's no escaping that, then. I'll have to prepare for when I inevitably fall asleep...

[adropofjupiter]

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

[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.

[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]

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.

[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]

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.

[paradisemiko]

Well there's no fun in that! Definitely not worth the risk in that case...

I guess the rampage would have to wait until after I confirm that...after all of those classes with the Yama...

[adropofjupiter]

Have fun with that, ze. Oh, and don't try to sneak out the window.

[...bad idea, man. BAD IDEA.]

[paradisemiko]

Oh, I won't...not without flight, at least. I'm nowhere near as cat-like as you are.

(She's had enough faceplanting from practicing her somersault kick. )
