match 19 | one year anniversary

[mathisradical]

A. Action | All around town

[ It's been exactly a year since Niou's arrived in Mayfield. To be honest, with everything that has happened, it feels like a lot longer.

Instead of doing his usual morning training, he spends most of the morning lounging around the house, thoroughly lost in thought. Eventually, he decides he can't stand staying in the house all day, and goes on a walk.

Expect to see him wandering all around town, still looking distracted. ]


B. Action | The park

[ At the park, Niou sits on the back of his favorite bench, his feet resting in the seat. He has his elbows on his knees and his chin propped on his hands. Again, he's not paying very close attention to his surroundings. Go ahead and bug him, he probably needs it. ]


C. Action | Rec center tennis courts

[ The only time his behavior is different is when he's at the tennis courts.

Here, all of his focus is on his tennis. Not Mayfield, not the year he's spent here, not his friends and family back at home, just tennis. He's rallying against the wall, playing with all his strength. It's likely that he won't notice anyone's presence right away. ]

have an a~

[princecreepshow]

[ Guess who's passing by on his way to bug people at the bakery. Bel tilts his head in confusion as Niou passes right by him.

He turns around, breaks into a run and jumps up on Niou's back. ]

Hey, are you sleep-walking?

heee~ c:

[mathisradical]

[ Wow, way to take him by surprise.

He lets out a yell and stumbles forward. His knee actually touches the sidewalk for a second before he manages to straighten up. Out of reflex, he hooks his arms around Bel's legs to keep him up. ]

If I was, I sure as hell ain't anymore. [ Grumble grumble. ]

[princecreepshow]

[ Bel laughs and wraps his arms tighter around Niou. ]

Did I surprise you that much~?

[ He licks Niou's cheek, upsetting a couple passing drones in the process. ]

Why're you so gone today?

[mathisradical]

You catapulted your ass onto my back.

[ Which basically means, yes, Bel fucking surprised him.

He crinkles his nose and wipes his cheek on his shoulder. ]

Just thinkin'.

[princecreepshow]

Do you mind~?

[ If it does, Bel doesn't care. ]

About what?

a; with a frog

[breaking4thwall]

[ Oh, guess who is there, right behind you. Well - it sure looks like Belphegor. It also sounds like him, and act like him, too. But well, it's still Fran; although he has completely changed his appearance to Bel's.

He covers Niou's eyes, and this little Bel-act is very much perfect; he is a top illusionist and magician, after all~ ]

Guess who~?

ohmygod this is going to be awesome |D

[mathisradical]

[ What.

Oh. Man. He needs to start paying attention.

He reaches up wrap his fingers around Fran's wrists. ]

Wow, this is difficult. Hm....

[ Sarcasm to the extreme. ]

yes, yes it will X3

[breaking4thwall]

[ He snickered Bel's laugh. ]

That's the problem, ain't it~?

[ Amusement. ]

XD

[mathisradical]

Hm.... Is it... that guy I hooked up with last night?

[ He's joking, of course. ]

[breaking4thwall]

[ Fake pout. ]

How evil of you. Is it someone I should slize up for you~?

C

[quickly]

[Scout grabs a few small pebbles and casually tosses them at the unsuspecting guy on the bench, aiming for his head.]

[mathisradical]

[ Wow, rude.

After the first few hit him, he dodges the rest and glares. ]

If you're about to start bitchin' about this bein' your bench, then fuck off.

[ Because its happened before. :| ]

[quickly]

[Out of pebbles to throw, Scout wanders over to the bench and casually shrugs.]

Nah, it ain't mine. I was just bored.

This place is boring.

[mathisradical]

Ain't that the truth.

[ The only interesting thing in Mayfield is all the people. ]

[quickly]

I haven't even found a damn baseball field yet.

Shit's ridiculous. Every town's got a baseball field.

[endlesswitch]

[ she'll appear right behind him ]

Ohoh. Being lost in thought like that in a place like this can lead to a dangerous situation, right...?

[mathisradical]

[ He stiffens, just a little bit, and glances at her over his shoulder. ]

Guess it could.

[endlesswitch]

I wonder, I wonder. Just what are you thinking about as you are lost in thought like so...? [ cacklecackle ]

[mathisradical]

Guess.

[ Niou likes guessing games! ]

[endlesswitch]

Will you not offer a hint of any sort before I am to guess?

[ Charles spends a lot of time at the park. He likes to people watch, read minds in passing, and generally relax. It was weird relaxing. Even when things got stressful here, he managed to find it not too bad. He spots a young man is sitting on a bench, on his way to the other end of the park. ]

People watching?

B.

[mathisradical]

[ ... Okay, sure, let's go with that. ]

That's one way of puttin' it.

[helpmeguideit]

How would you put it?

[ ...Hey, he knows going to the park and moping. ]

[mathisradical]

Hm. Target pickin'?

[ Going to the park and moping is a pastime for Niou. ]

[helpmeguideit]

Targets?

[ looks towards ]
