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.))

[Marceline's heading down the road, away from the high school. Her axe bass is strapped to her back, and her parasol is in her hands, keeping the sunlight away from her gray skin, her pointed ears... her generally non-human appearance!

She's not quick enough to notice Flandre sliding around the playground, but she does notice her just. Sitting there. Next to that destruction. She raises an eyebrow.]

Hey, kid. What are you doing?

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre blinks--then chirps, then tilts her head farther and farther to the side as Marceline approaches.

At least until she starts to talk; then her head snaps back upright again.]

I remember your voice.

[Her wings flutter a bit in interest.]

[buryinmysound]

[She remembers that voice too!]

Oh, hey. Flandre, right? [She easily climbs over the fence separating the playground from the street, even with one hand still gripping the parasol.] Whassup?

[then_there_were_none]

Hello! [And now Flandre stands up properly, shaking her wings again to get bits of mulch off WHAT IS STRANGER DANGER.]

I'm playing!

[sunnydwithagun]

(Just strolling on by, minding his own bu-

-wait, that's Flandre! She's looking less dismembered much better today! The solar boy will proceed to check up on you.)

Hello Flandre!

[then_there_were_none]

[She is indeed possessed of all her body parts today! The wings seem to have stuck around, though--much smaller wings now, but still there.]

Oh, hello!

[Recognition makes her face light up properly.]

I remember you too!

[tsunmuse]

[Huh, that looks far too innocent for being normal. Still, Ako is just watching her wordlessly before speaking up.]

Having fun?

[sunnydwithagun]

(He'll look past the whole wings thing since she's looking bright and adorable and alive.)

That's great! I'm glad to see you're doing well.

How've you been? It's been a while since I've last seen you.

[then_there_were_none]

[Well, she does have batlike wings on her back. And when she smiles she has some very pointy looking fangs, too. So maybe not quite as innocent as at first glance.

But her smile is bright and genuine.]

I am! Or, I was.

[then_there_were_none]

...I got better.

[One of her wingtips flicks to the side.]

Oh, I still have your scarf! But it's at home.

[tsunmuse]

Well don't stop on my account. It'll be fine if you're doing whatever.

[And she walks over.] Ako. Nice to meet you.

[sunnydwithagun]

Ah, so you held onto it...thank you.

(Django's truly thankful for that. He is.)

Would you like me to walk you home today?

[badladyscramble]

Oh? There you are.

[IT'S THE FUN POLICE YOUR SISTER.]

[then_there_were_none]

Remi!

[YESTERDAY IS TEMPORARILY FORGOTTEN sister is here that causes excited Flandre. She scrambles to her feet, wings fluffing out almost immediately.]

[then_there_were_none]

Meiling's going to take me home today!

[SUDDENLY. THOUGHTS.]

...though I think I know where that is by now...

[Oh boy]

[then_there_were_none]

You're not going to get me in trouble, then?

[Her wings ruffle a little bit.]

Hello, Ako! I'm Flandre.

[tsunmuse]

[A shrug.]

Why would I? It's not like I'm looking for trouble.

Nice to meet you Flandre.

[sunnydwithagun]

Ah, that's very nice! It's great that you're in good hands.

(There's no way of telling what Flandre's thinking. Django sure can't tell.)

That's good, too! You know, in case you need to go there on your own for some reason.

[thug_disease]

[Oh look, Yamame's hanging upside-down from the swing set just watching.]

[adropofjupiter]

[Guess who's by as promised, Flandre?]

Heya!

[then_there_were_none]

[She seems to have gotten herself lost thinking about directions.

She keeps talking to herself out loud.]

...left, here--no right,then there are flowers, then the funy car and more flowers...or is that the other direction?

[then_there_were_none]

Last time there was a man who was a man who was mad I put scratches in all the things.

[tsunmuse]

Huh that's silly. You're just being yourself. There's no harm in that.

[sunnydwithagun]

(Riiiiight, he's just going to assume she can't remember.)

Meiling's house was the one with the pretty red flowers, wasn't it? Maybe it would be better to wait for her to pick you up?

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre glances around again, to make sure that scary fellow wasn't around, and--]

Yamame!

[Boy she's doing an awful lot of hopping to her feet, but up she goes again.]
