[Action - 1125 Taylor]

[Early in the morning, before school, Marisa takes the time to place a multilayer ward about her residence and its yard. It has three specific wards, powerful wards - one each to bar The Major, Bazett, and any troll with tyrian purple blood from the property. There is also a subtler ward cast that will target any non-resident (Merem isn't affected) that tries to significantly harm another while on the property through a combination binding/paralyzing effect. Those with a strong enough magic ability could break the wards, but the general feeling about them is that it would be a bad idea with how well they are woven.

The casting can easily be felt by anyone with the slightest bit of magical sensing.]


[Action - School]

[Marisa is sitting in the cafeteria, completely ignoring her yummy homemade lunch, and seems to be working on a map of sorts. Her brow furrows as she wads up the paper and throws it at the nearby garbage can - missing it - and starts over again. She's going to end up going through a lot of paper at this rate.]


[Phone]

So... I can't remember where everyone lives. Like the addresses and how to get to some place. [It pains her to have to admit this.] I need you all, if you're my friends or allies or just people I like to bug - especially everyone from Gensokyo - to remind me.

Okay?

I'm sure you can figure it out, ze.

Just, uh, keep this between us okay?

[not_so_great_wall]

Maybe. [ She isn't sure if Marisa is just saying it to get lessons, or genuinely believes in her. ]

It's going to be hard to keep that a secret for too long. It's not something you can pick up in a week and be useful. Getting to the actual martial applications takes a lot of time and practice. [ In other words, someone's going to see them practicing at some point. ]

[adropofjupiter]

I know, but don't go all 'Marisa wants to learn kung fu' to people unless they ask, ze. Basically, don't advertise it.

[not_so_great_wall]

I wouldn't do that. [ Yes, she would... normally. But she figures the girl has her reasons. ]

You know, I'm kind of glad you asked, because if I can get you into it, maybe you can finally help me convince Patchouli that some light practice would be good for her health!

[adropofjupiter]

...yeah no, I don't think even I can get her to do that. 'Sides, I like my girlfriend being very happy with me. That'll just tick her off.

[not_so_great_wall]

I know you didn't just say you don't want to do something that could improve her physical condition. She doesn't have your kind of stamina, you know! [ ...is she talking about what it sounds like she's talking about? ]

[adropofjupiter]

[...]

...I don't think you've ever really encountered an example of my stamina.

[Aw... fuck it.]

'Sides, there are far more fun ways to get Patchy to work up a sweat than whatever you have in mind~

[not_so_great_wall]

Yes, but improvement in one area will lead to improvements in others. [ Either Meiling is speaking from experience, or bluffing. But she's lacking any indicator that she's teasing. Meiling is Serious Business when it comes to health and fitness. Why do you think she eats and sleeps like she does? A body like this doesn't run on its own! ]

[adropofjupiter]

Then you work on one angle and I'll handle the fun one.

[not_so_great_wall]

That depends on your definition of fun, I guess... [ She laughs a little, innocently. ]

[adropofjupiter]

The one that only belongs to me, ze.

[not_so_great_wall]

...and anyone in the house who isn't asleep at the time.

[adropofjupiter]

Ah... Haha.

Oops?

[not_so_great_wall]

Mm, well it doesn't bother me. I'm glad she's healthy enough for more than just kissing, though I would like it if she got outside more. I can count the number of times in Mayfield that she's left the property without it being an emergency on two hands!

[adropofjupiter]

...does it count as off the property if it's in the rocket ship?

[not_so_great_wall]

It's still in the yard, so it counts.

Anyway. When do you want to start?

[adropofjupiter]

Damn. Oh well.

Hrm. We can start whenever you're ready.

[not_so_great_wall]

Hmm, give me a few days to figure out how I want to start you off, and I'll call you.

[adropofjupiter]

Sounds like a plan.

[not_so_great_wall]

Then I'll see you later! [ Time to go actually dig up memories of all the training she received when she was younger. This will be one heck of a trip down memory lane, that's for sure. ]

[adropofjupiter]

Later, ze. [click]
