April Fools Pranks!

[answerer_sword]

April 1

All around Mayfield; Action

[Those of Mayfield's residents out on the streets will see a very strange thing. An angry woman, swearing in a mixture of Gaelic and English, is tearing down the street in only her lingerie.]

GET BACK HERE, YOU CLOTHES THIEF! WHEN I CATCH YOU, I'LL...!

[After being pulled this way and that by the strange sensations that had started soon after her "prank" on Little Slugger, she had wandered through Mayfield, finally stopping at Tohsaka's house. A strange symbol had been painted on the driveway. She had tried to investigate it, but in the process had fallen victim to a prank. Not only that, but soon after she realized she had been pranked, her suit had disappeared, only to reappear on the prankster who had gotten her.]

[So now, she is chasing after the girl who not only humiliated her, but stole her suit. At the very least, she is determined to take her clothes back.]

[OOC: Those who reply here might also have to speak to Tony Stark, who will be accompanying her.]


April 2

1. 340 Brady Lane

[After the events of the previous day, Bazett had discovered that she had none of her tailor-made suits left, all of them having been destroyed or stolen. Therefore, she has settled on wearing one of her Mayfield-provided blouses and a pair of her drone son's pants.]

[She has looked up her victims' addresses on her phone. Though she dislikes doing this, she knows that if she simply sat back and allowed others to prank her, she would eventually lose her regains and end up in a weakened position. The only way to offset this would be to prank her victims and hopefully take some useful regains. Though she is not much of a prankster, she has worked much with Father Kotomine, who had been very good at pranks. Therefore, all she had to do to succeed with a prank was to imitate his mindset.]

[With that in mind, she rings the doorbell.]
 

2. 5721 Cunningham Lane

[Bazett has moved on to her next victim. She believes that this prank will both be easier and harder to accomplish than her previous ones. Harder, because the target knew magic, but also easier because of that. The target had mentioned that she used her magic to keep her body functioning. Therefore, Bazett had made a bounded field around the subject's oddly unwarded house.]

[The bounded field would not have any major effects. It would simply interfere with the prana flow of those within it. It would not be enough to cut off the girl's life support magic, but it would weaken it to the point that she would feel a little uncomfortable.]

[After this is done, Bazett hides in the surrounding shrubbery to observe if the prank will be successful.]
 

3. 2240 Stevens Road

[This time, Bazett is just going to try ding-dong-ditching. The message has been written on the porch and she is ringing the doorbell.]

4. 1447 Mitchell Road

[Again, Bazett's first attempt will be ding-dong-ditching, followed by other pranks if the initial attempt falls through.]

Comments

[littlest_devil]

[Being the only member of the household not presently too busy or unwilling to go to the door, Koakuma is—fortunately for Bazett, but unfortunately for herself—the one to answer.

She gives a somewhat-blank stare, having not expected company at all.]

Ah...hello?

[answerer_sword]

H-hello.

[She looks down at the girl.]

Do you know where Koakuma might be?

[She is praying for the girl to not be her intended victim.]

[littlest_devil]

That...would be me, actually. [Well, that's just Bazett's luck, isn't it.] Why do you ask?

[answerer_sword]

Ah...um...

[She is torn between simply walking off now and going through with her prank. She stands silent as she considers her options.]

[littlest_devil]

[Meanwhile, Koa is absolutely clueless as to this internal struggle.]

Miss?

[answerer_sword]

[She grits her teeth. She has to do this for the sake of her allies. She would not hurt the child too much, and she would apologize afterwards.]

I'm...sorry.

[With that, she reaches toward Koakuma.]

[executed]

( And here comes Corey out onto the porch, looking relatively... normal and sipping her coffee.

Well, admittedly she does look mildly uncomfortable but its probably because of that drone child running past her and calling her 'mom' so happily. )

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett watches the woman standing outside. She frowns as she realizes that her bounded field is having no effect.]

Is her magic...this strong?

[executed]

( It's definitely something! That is, it's nothing at all. So, do excuse her as she takes a seat on the top step and get to reading the discarded newspaper. Not like the news ever changes in this place. )

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett decides to get a closer look, so she steps out from behind the bushes.]

Hello.

[The woman still looks completely healthy.]

[executed]

( Corey glances up as soon as the other speaks, raising her brow before the familiarity catches up with her. )

Oh, hey there. You're the magic lady from the phone, yeah?

[answerer_sword]

Yes, I am. For a magus, your house is oddly open. There is not even a bounded field.

[Her body tenses as she speaks. Since the magic had no effect, she is planning on using phyiscal force.]

3

[spitefulvitae]

[Dutifully, with the knowledge that her useless drone-husband would not and should not answer the door, Natalie opened it up to see who it was.]

He... llo?

[There was no one there. No one there at all. She looked up the street, down the street, and then down at the doormat for good measure.]

Re: 3

[answerer_sword]

[There is a message carved into the concrete of the porch.]

"I have just ding-dong-ditched you. Forgive me. Mayfield assigned you as a target."

[spitefulvitae]

...

[She kneels to get a better look. And then runs her fingers along the letters, looking faintly alarmed. What kind of power would someone have to carve into concrete?

Also, the nice red chiffon scarf that she was wearing vanishes and probably appears around Bazett's neck.]

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett examines the scarf. It seems to be nothing more than a warm scarf. She pulls it off and emerges from the bushes.]

Is this yours?

[Since it was of no use to her, she might as well as just give it back.]

[spitefulvitae]

[Natalie starts slightly when the other woman emerges from the bushes. Ah. Well. This is sort of nice.

She quirks her head, smiles wryly, and points a finger at what's engraved on her step.]

Yes. Is that yours?

[answerer_sword]

[She steps closer and holds the scarf out to Natalie.]

Yes, I wrote that. I did not have a pen and paper at the time, so I had to improvise.

[thecoolexec]

[You know, Tony's positive he must have done something right today. Maybe that dog he petted today was actually some kind of fairy that rewards good deeds, because the sun is shining, he's feeling well-rested, the Mai Tai he just had was scrumptious and now he has a dee-lightful view of one stubborn redheaded minx in her indoor clothes. He isn't sure what will cause him more pain, though: announcing his presence, expressing his admiration for her physique and offering to help with whatever she's doing, or keeping his distance, not saying anything and just enjoying the view. He reasons he can at least high-tail it if he stays put, so he does.]

[answerer_sword]

[By now, Bazett's face is even redder than her hair due to the mix of embarrassment and anger.]

GET OUT HERE AND--!

[And then she notices Tony. All the color seems to drain from her when she sets eyes on him. Her previously red face turns ashen pale and she just stands there, frozen in her horror.]

[thecoolexec]

[Um. Whoops. She spotted him pretty quickly. Why's she staring at him like that, is there something in his teeth...? Oh, no, wait, she's half naked, duh. He shades his eyes with his hand and waves with the other one, a smile on his face.]

Yo! Bazy! You seem to be missing things there. But then, "missing" implies there's a troubling lack of something, and I'm not troubled at all...

[answerer_sword]

[She cringes in response to his voice and rushes to shield her lingerie from his view.]

T-tony?

[She barely manages to squeak out his name.]

I'm...um...well...a little...indecent.

[Her face is rapidly reddening again.]

[thecoolexec]

What's indecent is the fact that you've been hiding such an impressive physique! Who knew? Do you work out? You must. Color me impressed! Your boyfriend is a lucky guy.
[He glances both ways, then crosses the street in her direction, pulling off his suit jacket as he walks.]

[ragazzamento]

[She's lucky, Romana is just curious enough to open the door, carefully peering out through a tiny crack]

[answerer_sword]

[There is a message carved into the concrete of Romana's porch. One that she might or might not understand.]

"I have just ding-dong-ditched you. Forgive me. Mayfield assigned you as a target."
