[Phone]

Okay, I can't remember all your addresses, but who of us from Gensokyo have enough back to put up a good danmaku fight? With Mokou gone, I need to find an alternative.



[A: Action - Grocery Store]

[Marisa is pushing a cart around the grocery store filling it up with random food stuffs. There's literally no rhyme or pattern to what she's picking out, making it nearly impossible to figure out what she's planning to cook. Or for how many people.]



[B: Action - Church]

[Marisa is sitting in the second pew from the front with her boots resting on the back of the one in front of her. Looking bored, she tosses a star bullet repeatedly up into the air and catches just as one would a ball. Eventually, she'd be approached...]

Comments

[scripturale]

That doesn't make a difference to her, so please don't worry about that! [waves a hoof] But-- why would she keep quiet about it? She gave me more chores than usual, but didn't yell at me more or anything beyond that. She's never like this when she's in a bad mood. I don't understand...

[adropofjupiter]

[That was really kind of... disturbing. Ciel not caring much about her soul being attacked.]

I dunno, ze. Arcueid thought she'd calm down sooner than this.

[scripturale]

[details, DETAILS. YOU KNOW SHE DEALS IN SHADY THINGS MARISA THIS ISN'T NEWS...]

Well, Master's been acting like usual this week. She was being weird the most last week! She did go back to the house a few times though, for more than just resetting the droning timer too, I think. You didn't catch her even once, Marisa-san?

[adropofjupiter]

No. Like I said, ze - she's been avoiding me.

[scripturale]

[skips


a beat...]

Ah. That's... really rare, for Master... She left earlier today though. Have you been at the house before coming here?

[adropofjupiter]

Didn't see her earlier. Which is why I'm here.

[scripturale]

You didn't miss each other on the way, did you...? [excuse her while she mumbles worriedly to herself...]

[adropofjupiter]

I don't know.

So I'll just stay here until she comes back.

[scripturale]

Um...

I-I'll... I can go look. Please give me a moment, Marisa-san! [kind of terrified whelp because MASTER IS A SCARY PERSON but she seems pretty set anyway. Carefully placing the shiny star onto the center of the pew, Seven is getting up with a swish of her tail and making her way towards the exit door.]

[adropofjupiter]

...alright.

[Marisa glances at the star and then creates another one to toss up into the air to keep herself occupied.]

1/5 hi im ruki and i like iconspams................

[scripturale]

[with a final small nod to the witch, the horse girl disappears. ...she IS a spirit, those don't really walk to get to places.]

2/5

[scripturale]

[TIME PASSES HERE...]

3/5

[scripturale]

[And then the church doors swing open, letting in one (x1) scrambling pony girl who's on the verge of hysterics.]

I, I'm sorry, Master, I'M SORRYYYY~~~!!

4/5

[ex_seventh238]

[followed by one familiar blue-haired bespectacled local nun, but dressed in her casual city wear instead of the religious habit.]

Quiet down before you worsen things for yourself, Seven. [the tone is fairly neutral, but strangely, there's still something bone-chilling about it...] Now--

5/5

[ex_seventh238]

[Whatever she was going to say next doesn't come.

...

Uh-huh, Ciel's spotted the black point witch's hat and the mass of golden hair seated at the front.

...Well then.]

[adropofjupiter]

[Marisa tosses the star up once more before it dissipates.]

...can we talk?

[The witch then picks up the star she'd made for Seven and holds it out where the horse-spirit can see.]

Here, honey. Don't forget this; enjoy it before it disappears tonight. Think you can give me and Ciel some space? The Rat King's around somewhere in the back.

1/3

[ex_seventh238]

...

[Ciel chest heaves a little in silence, and she gives a small wave of her hand. Seven, still cowering on the ground, seems to understand the message. After shooting one final apologetic glance towards Marisa, the spirit vanishes on the spot.]

2/3

[ex_seventh238]

Geez, all that ruckus for this... How troublesome, I didn't think she had it in her...

3/3

[ex_seventh238]

Good afternoon, Marisa. [She's greeted with a small and easy smile.] It's rare for you to come here. Mm, I don't mind, though this looks like it might take a while. Would you like to move to the back? I can get some tea started, if the hot weather doesn't put you off for it? [--And there's the everyday Ciel of always, as if nothing's ever happened.]

[adropofjupiter]

...

[Marisa frowns a little at the spot where Seven had been then looks down at the star. She gets to her feet and shoves it in her pocket. Yup, in her pocket.

It is a little hot for tea, but tea fixes everything by Gensokyo standards.]

Yeah, tea sounds good. But first - I'm sorry. And I kinda miss you, so I want you to come back to the house. [A beat] I don't miss the nagging, but I kinda miss you.

[ex_seventh238]

[she was starting to lead the way to the kitchen in the back when the whole deluge of surprisingly forward... 'confessions' (?) came.

...

blinks...

And she chuckles quietly.]

Don't be silly, you have nothing to apologize for. That's sweet to hear, but you don't have to push yourself, hm? I was just there earlier. Did we miss each other?

[ciel totes has


everything under control...]

[adropofjupiter]

[Seriously, Ciel, two weeks of basically no one at the house but drones and occasionally Mion would get to anyone.]

Yeah, I do have stuff to apologize for. So... I have.

[The witch follows Ciel to the kitchen area.]

I guess we did. I picked up food for Tsuchinoko earlier then came over here.

[ex_seventh238]

You're being uncharacteristically hard on yourself. I already said it's okay, haven't I? [off to the kitchen to fill the kettle!] Aha, now that's just bad luck, though I can't say I'm surprised. [she doesn't know Seven said something similar...] I did notice the groceries. Did you just pick things at random? It's a... large variety, to say the least!

[you'd shrug it off if you're used to working alone GET ON HER LEVEL NOT!DAUGHTER

also on the stove it goes, water'll be boiling shortly... n_n]

[adropofjupiter]

...you're so weird.

[Marisa's just gonna boost herself up onto the counter.]

[ex_seventh238]

That's neither here or there though, and it can be said of anyone. [she's not denying either...] At any rate, you seem to be doing quite well. Did anything interesting happen recently?

[gonna start setting the stuff up while she talks, okok]
