9th--[Action]

[then_there_were_none]

[Outside Mayfield Elementary]

[After school lets out for the day—or a little before, Flandre was proud of how very sneaky she was—Flandre can be found clambering all over the playground again, making full use of her claws and her wings.

But she’s a bit more careful this time! She looks around before she starts sliding down things like pipes, watching for people approaching. If a person is spotted, the vampire promptly sits on her hands and furls her wings away and looks innocent.

Right next to whatever she just put giant scratches in the paint of.


…no one really taught her how to use the fireman pole okay.]


((OOC: Chronologically the thread with Marceline goes first. Also there may be bats in your thread instead of tiny vampires because everything’s better with bats.))

[Flandre is impressed!

...then chitters.]

What's that in your hands, Yamame?

[thug_disease]

[Yamame holds out her hands, to show Flandre the threads tangled in them.

...which subsequently rips the wings off of her back.]

Oh...oops.

[then_there_were_none]

[Which causes Flandre to shriek and leap backwards a bit further than was probably necessary.

A bit meaning a lot, since landing made her stumble.]

[thug_disease]

Ah! Flanny-chan!

[Yamame jumps up so she can help Flandre stand back up herself.]

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre...wasn't very helpful in this endeavor. Her wings are curled around her shoulders and her knees, and the vampire is holding onto the thumb claws very tightly as if she could keep them all to herself that way.

She doesn't resist, but she doesn't assist either.]

They...came off.

[Her voice is more of a squeak now.]

[thug_disease]

Flanny, they weren't real. Yamame had threads tied to them and they came off when I moved my hands too far.

It's okay, I can just make more! Yours won't come off like that!

ffffuuuuu why do I keep forgetting these

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre doesn't let go of her wings at all, but didn't shrink away again.

Or...do much of anything, really, except stare in a vacant way. It was questionable whether she even saw Yamame anymore.]

I backtag into oblivion

[thug_disease]

[Yamame kneels down in front of Flandre, waving a hand in front of her face. She looks rather concerned.]

Hey...Flanny...are you ok?

:D

[then_there_were_none]

[That at least triggers an instant reaction: Flandre snaps at Yamame's hand.

...at least her bite wasn't terribly strong, though her fangs had returned.]

[thug_disease]

[Yamame doesn't snatch the hand back, she simply slowly lowers it away from the girl. Her voice is gentle, but has suddenly turned much more serious than usual.]

Flanny do you need help? Do I need to find someone?

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre's jaws snap closed on air, then remain that way save for the grinding of her teeth, neurotically gnawing at something that wasn't there.

...she recognized Yamame a little more, now; as a distinct shape and a face that was vaguely familiar.

The vampire released the deathgrip on one of her wings and reached forward, towards this almost-familiar figure.]

[thug_disease]

[Yamame doesn't move, not really afraid of whatever Flandre may do when her hand reaches her.]

It's me, Flanny. It's Yamame.

[then_there_were_none]

[There's just a very slight prickle from her claws against Yamame's cheek as Flandre finally reaches her face. Things became easier to see, now; first a little, then a lot.

Then she blinks.]

...Yamame? When did Yamame get there?

[thug_disease]

Yamame has been here the whole time!

[She seems absolutely unaffected by Flandre's little episode. In reality, she's playing at normalcy so she doesn't freak her out again.]

Is Flanny okay?

[then_there_were_none]

[She blinks again, hand still in place as if making quite sure Yamame was in fact there.]

But...there was a scary thing here. Yamame isn't scary, not at all.

[thug_disease]

Nope, Yamame is not scary!

Yamame is Flanny's friend!

[Trying to be comforting and familiar. To be honest...that was a little scary. What happened? She's probably going to need to ask someone.]

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre's head tilts one way...then the other, like she used to a few moments ago. Before that little...episode.]

...Yamame is smiling!

[That little nonsensical bit of trivia now stated, the vampire drew her hand away until it was at her side properly and abruptly shivered all over, as if waking up from the chill of sitting in place too long. Her wings especially.]

[thug_disease]

Of course Yamame is smiling! Yamame likes to play with Flanny!

[Oh, look Flandre, here comes a big hug from Yamame. You cannot escape.]

[then_there_were_none]

[Now that she's in a much better state of mind, Flandre is okay with hugs! She notices this inbound hug to do much about it besides flail her wings some in a vain attempt to preserve her balance.

Which of course doesn't work as she's bowled over with a fit of giggles anyway.]

[thug_disease]

Hehehehe!

Yamame will not ever hurt Flanny, okay? Yamame will always be your friend!

oh god this thread

[then_there_were_none]

Yamame promises?

This is just the kind of youkai Yamame is

[thug_disease]

Yamame promises! Even if Flanny hurt Yamame I would still be your friend!

[Okay, adding that may be pushing it...but just to make sure she understands...]

EVERYWHERE FRANDS

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre blinks again.]

So Yamame would...Yamame would get better, if Yamame was broken?

[And there's a little tremble to her voice.]

[thug_disease]

Yamame's gotten broken before and I always came back! It's hard to break me!

[Here in Mayfield, anyway. In Gensokyo...it could be a different story being broken by Flandre.]

[then_there_were_none]

[Prooobably a bit different, yes. But Flandre doesn't know that.

She's just now suddenly squeezing Yamame really hard with a really big smile on her face. Really, really big.

It didn't seem to matter how she couldn't fly yet--Flandre just felt so very happy that she could just float.]
