[The Park]
[This time, the park isn't a partially ruined mess.

Nope, today is a science day. Multiple tables have been dragged together. Along them are sticks, stones, pipes, and a few other random items. Truly an assortment for the scientist. Well, one table does have a microscope at the end. Microscopes are needed for SCIENCE.

Of course, there are papers with badly, badly drawn diagrams. Don't make fun of Merem's art skill!

What's all this for? He's waiting for Marisa to show up, as promised. She's got a few things to learn so her own training can continue.

If you're not Marisa, you're free to chill out with Merem. He's more than willing to share his knowledge of nature, at least. It's his biggest love aside from history.]

[Welcome to the kitchen of Ciel's house.

Where Merem and Marisa are finished with making curry and are now chowing down.

Don't you want in, Ciel?]

[tsukihime]

Being secretive is dumb, it doesn't make you cool you know.

[Fine, if he's going to shut her out then she's going to change the subject. She just stares at that microscope, not looking up at Merem.]

What was your problem at the prom, anyway?

[splitthebaby]

[no it makes him wise and cool

and why arc] My problem? Possibly a sickness only this town can dispense.

[tsukihime]

That usually only happens on a wide scale. I didn't really notice anyone else there getting sick.

At least not early on, anyway.

[splitthebaby]

I'm afraid I can't help you understand anymore than that.

[tsukihime]

Did you drink too much?

Well...I guess that doesn't make sense because that wouldn't make you sick either.

[splitthebaby]

I don't drink alcohol in the first place so the point is moot.

[tsukihime]

That's weird.

[Arcueid's getting bored, and currently poking your stuff, Merem.]

So did you end up going home, then? I didn't see you the rest of the night.

[splitthebaby]

That is exactly what happened.

[not]

[tsukihime]

That's too bad, I was even gonna dance with you.

[splitthebaby]

Yes, a real shame.

[tsukihime]

Are you feeling okay now? You're being pretty curt.

[splitthebaby]

I am being curt because I would prefer to avoid this topic of discussion.

[tsukihime]

[Well Merem's just being no fun at all today.]

Fiiine I'll leave you alone. Tell Marisa I said hi.

[splitthebaby]

I never said you had to leave.

[Just don't talk about that shit!!!]

[tsukihime]

It's boring if you're just going to be all cryptic about everything.

[Switching to pout mode.]

[splitthebaby]

I am only cryptic about secrets. You have your own secrets, don't you?

[tsukihime]

[Arcueid really has to stop to think about that.]

I guess so? They're not that important. I guess it's just stuff nobody ever really asks about.

[splitthebaby]

Perhaps no one asks because it could be rude.

[tsukihime]

Would it be? I guess if it were really personal or something.

I don't really see the point of keeping secrets, though.

[Boy is she a terrible liar. She's trying to act cool.]

[splitthebaby]

I'm sure I could ask something and you would refuse to answer it.

[tsukihime]

What? No way. I doubt there's anything you could ask that I'd refuse to answer.

[Arc wtf are you doing stop.]

[splitthebaby]

Alright then. What are your true feelings on "Tohno-san"?

[tsukihime]

[Ouch. It's not a question that she won't answer...it just stings a little bit.]

I dunno. It's weird now, plus I don't know if I'll ever even see him again now anyway.

[She's not even being avoidant, either...she really doesn't know how she feels about it anymore. Stupid Shiki.]
