Really feeling the height dysphoria tonight y'all... :))))))

Can i pls req dream being reader's sugar daddy :O - 🌼

sorry this took a hot sec ive been working on this one for a while cause i really liked the idea, so here you go :)) it ended up being like 2k words so im sorry

You had it all, anything you could want and more. Wanted to go to rome? Done, your plane leaves tomorrow. Dream absolutely spoiled you and you couldnt be more happy about it. It started off as a thing to help you with rent, but the longer you did it the more you enjoyed being able to get what you wanted when you wanted. Today was your weekly lunch with dream, you had both agreed that at least once a week he would take time off to get lunch with you, it made you smile to see him take time for you. As the tease you were, you decided to wear something a little revealing to tease him since he had cancelled your shopping trip with him the day before. You put on a low cut crop top and some shorts that show a little too much before fixing your hair. You hear you phone ding, getting a text from dream,

Daddy dream <3

Hey baby, i'm out front whenever youre ready to go

You smile and put your phone in your pocket before walking out to his car and getting in. you kiss his cheek quickly “hi daddy” you giggle and smile at him

“Hi sweetheart” he looks you up and down before smirking “like the outfit, all for me?” you giggle and nod before he starts to drive to the restaurant, one hand on your thigh. “Do you know what you want? You know the rule, anything you want no matter the price. And after that we can go shopping to make up for my cancelling yesterday.” you smile at him

“I know, and we dont have to dream, we can just hang out. Its been a while since we did that. Maybe we can go somewhere for you to make it up to me instead” he smiles and squeezes your thigh as he pulls into the parking lot of the restaurant.

“Anywhere you want baby, only the best for you.” you look down and blush, moving over to lean your head on his shoulder as he moves a hand to pet your hair. “Ill take you anywhere anytime and get you anything you want.” you cant lie, at times you had thought about being more than just his sugar baby, having a real romantic relationship, but he was always so busy that it made it seem almost impossible. Sure he took time out to be with you but it was never a lot unless you were traveling. He didnt tell you a lot about his job either, just knew that he had a large following and that he didnt want anything serious and put his partner in a bad situation, but damn if you havent thought about him coming home to you and calling you his.

“Baby? You okay? You zoned out.” he waves a hand in front of your face and you blink back to reality.

“Yeah, sorry i just got a little distracted. Lets go get some food!” you pull away from him and he gets out, walking around to open your door for you and holds a hand out to help you. “Thank you” you smile and take his hand as you step out, he closes the door behind you and puts an arm around your waist, pulling you into his side as you both walk up to get a table. You get seated immediately and he pulls your chair out for you. “Is there a single flaw with you?” you ask genuinely, he just laughs and shakes his head.

“Theres a bunch you dont know about me, sweetheart.” you roll your eyes as the waitress comes back with your mimosa and his water, asking for your orders. He orders for you and him before she walks off to put them in. He always knows what you want and orders it for you. It makes you smile that he likes to take care of you. You shake that thought away and go back to mindlessly talking with him, waiting on the food. It comes shortly and you both start to eat. “Where do you want to go? Japan? Italy? Oh we havent been to paris in a while, maybe there.”

“I think paris would be great, its always so pretty this time of year, maybe we can have dinner on the eiffel tower again!” your eyes light up at the thought of going back to paris. Last time you went was last spring, you both walked around and had the most wonderful time people watching and shopping. You take another bite and he looks like hes about to say something before he stops himself and looks down. “What is it? Is something wrong?” you look at him concerned, scared you messed something up.

“Its nothing darling, dont worry.” you both finish up lunch and he pays before helping you up and leading you back to the car. “I have something id like to ask you when we get to paris if thats okay, its nothing bad i promise its just something ive been meaning to ask for a while is all.” you nod as he opens the door for you and helps you in. “now, a pretty girl like you needs pretty new clothes for the trip, lets go get you some.” he smiles at you as he gets in, resting a hand back on your thigh as he starts the car, leading you both to the mall.

You spend hours in there going to different stores and trying things on, him getting you whatever you wanted without any hesitation. You walk back to the car with armfulls of bags and a couple new suitcases. “Thank you so much daddy, youre the best.” you kiss his cheek and he turns a little red.

“Its no problem baby, why dont you stay over tonight and we can leave in the morning to head to the airport. I can help you pack and we can watch a movie.” you smiles and nod, putting your bags in the back of the car and your new suitcases in the trunk.

“Id like that…” you think for a second about how nice it would be to wake up next to him every day and how nice it is to fall asleep next to him when it happens, even if when you did wake up after he wasnt next to you. The cold bed always made you remember that you would never be more than this, not that this was bad in the least its just sometimes you wish you could be more. He drives you both back to his apartment building and helps you out, grabbing most of your bags, only leaving you to grab the suitcases as you enter the building. He lived on the top floor in the penthouse, expected for how much money he had. You set your stuff down in his room, your new clothes already laid out nicely thanks to him. He walks up behind you and hugs you from behind.

“Youll look so good in all of those baby, gonna be the prettiest one in paris.” he kisses your neck softly before pulling away and taking your hand, leading you to sit on the part of the bed not covered by clothes. “Let me go run you a bath and you can pick out a movie.” you nod and he walks to the bathroom, leaving you alone on the bed. You turn on the tv and start scrolling through netflix looking for a movie, finally deciding as he walks back in and picks you up. You giggle and wrap your arms around his neck, moving your head to rest on his chest as he carries you to the bathroom. He sets you on the counter and takes your shirt off carefully, leaving kisses down your neck and chest and he moves down to take your shorts off. You lift yourself gently to help him take your shorts off. He takes them off quickly before nipping and kissing your inner thighs, ghosting over your core. You whine and try to move closer to him before he presses your hips down into the counter.

“Stay still baby, dont wanna have to punish you. Daddy just wants his desert.” you nod quickly and stay still, his head diving to softly kiss your clit, causing you to whine. He chuckles and starts to slowly eat you out, almost at a teasing pace. You whine and grip the counter, trying to keep from pulling his hair. He pulls away and smiles, “good girl, being so good and not pulling my hair. Just letting daddy eat you up.” after he says that his hands move down to your thighs open as he starts to eat you out like a man starved. You let out a loud moan and throw your head back, your hands moving to his hair and tugging closer. At this point he didnt care about you pulling his hair, to blissed out by hearing your sweet moans and tasting you. Your cries became louder as he dragged you closer to the edge. as you were almost there he stopped, causing a loud whine from you as he moves up to face you. He looked like heaven like this, face covered in your slick with eyes dark from lust.

“Now my good little girl, i want you to get off the counter and bend over for daddy.” you quickly move off the counter and do as your told. “Such a perfect little girl, i want you to watch as i make you feel good, got it? You look away and i stop,” he chuckles and grabs your neck after you nod. His hand moves from your neck to your hair to hold you in place, making eye contact with him through the mirror.

“Such a precious little pet for me, arent you?” you whine as he lines up with your entrance, teasing you, causing you to press your hips back against him. He smacks your ass roughly and pulls you against his chest by your hair. “Thats not very nice bun, its almost like you want me to leave you all worked up.’’ he smirks at you before pulling you roughly back against him, ripping a scream from your throat. He sets a brutal pace, leaving no time for you to adjust to him. He keeps the pace, your legs starting to shake as he brings you back to the edge of your orgasm before quickly throwing you over it. You let out a cry of his name, trails of tears starting to run from your eyes as he keeps going.

“Pretty little bunny, always so good and tight for me. Gonna breed you so good. Fuck you until i know it takes.” he tugs your hair roughly and starts to bite and suck at your neck, leaving marks in his wake. You whine and cry, moving your hands to tug at his hair. “So close princess, gonna fill you up so good.” he moves a hand to your clit to punctuate his statement, causing a louder cry to come from you as you tip over the edge once again. His hips start to stutter as he fills you up, riding out his high with shallow thrusts letting out a few more quiet moans before pulling out of you carefully. You whine and tug at his hair as he does so. He picks you up carefully as he pulls away.

“i figured we could take a bath and then cuddle before we pack and figure out what time we should leave for the airport.” you nod and he carries you carefully over to the tub, setting you down carefully in it before getting and sitting behind you. He starts to wash your hair as you slowly drift off to sleep. You wake up briefly as he lifts you from the tub and carries you to the bed. He moves the blankets back and sets you down gently before crawling in next to you , pulling the blankets back over you.

“Be my partner,” he says as you turn towards him

“Only if we can still go to paris” you giggle and he nods, kissing the top of your head before you both drift off.

----------

“Marinette,” Adrien whines as she opens the curtain the second they get back, “Sleep,”

“Just a minute, I want to design Damian something,” Marinette takes up residence at the desk, throwing open her sketchbook, “I will be friends with him!”

“Wasn't he kind of a jerk to you?” Adrien flops onto the bed, Plagg rig after him, "I think we should go back to that point, maybe sleep on it,"

“You were a jerk too~” Marinette sing-songs finishing up a rough sketch of a sweater.

“I was trying to get the gum off your seat!” Adrien slams his hands down.

“Sure you were~”

“Mariiiiiii,” Adrien collapses back into the bed covers, muffling his whining.

“Come on you,” Marinette collects her sketchbook, “Come get material with me,”

“No, it’s time to sleep,”

“It’s midday,”

“Your point?”

"Ok, Plagg 2.0 should I get you some camembert while I'm out too?"

"I'm up!" Adrien sits bolt upright, "Never call me that again,"

Marinette ends up dragging Adrien out of the mansion he pouts as Alfred delivers them into the city she thanks him profusely.

“We were just in the city why didn’t you pick up fabric then?” Adrien walks by her side down the street.

“Because I’m stuck between 2 concepts and I need to see the fabric before going forward,” Marinette bounces along looking through the windows there are quite a few craft shops in the area which suits her just fine.

“Please don’t run off,” Adrien gently holds her sleeve, “Marinette this city…”

“It’s filled with a dark energy,” Marinette agrees, even in this nicer area had something ominous hanging over it, “It’s like it’s seeped into the city’s very bones,”

“And the Akuma aren’t helping things,” A child across the street starts crying and they both instinctively lookout.

“On the plus side at least hawkmoth doesn't send Akuma after every little thing,” Marinette forces herself to relax, moving on as the kids parents comfort them.

“On the downside, he sends them after emotions that are a lot worse,” Adrien follows along into a store as Marinette filters through the shelves.

“Maybe but we can handle this,” Marinette absent-mindedly raises her fist, meeting Adreins, “Do you think I should make something for everyone, you know as a thank you?”

“I haven't gotten them anything,” Adrien takes the armful of fabric Marinette passes him as she brings out her sketchbook to select old designs.

“I’ll handle the making,” Marinette ticks off a vest she thinks with be perfect for Bruce, “And you handle the finances,”

“I stole my father's credit card,” Adrien says with a grin, “He’ll probably find out where I am soon anyway so might as well start using it,”

“In that case,” Marinette pulls out a roll of incredibly expensive fabric, “We also need new phones,”

“And we should go out for lunch,”

“Get our hair done?” Marinette adds, looking at her half hacked off hair “I still need to fix mine from this,”

“I was thinking our room could use a chair?”

“And the bookshelf is looking a bit empty,”

“A nice expensive rug would really liven up the room,”

“Would it be completely inappropriate to get a motorcycle?”

“Yes,” Adrien agrees, “Let's do it,”

They stop to get new phones first, having destroyed their old ones when they ran away. Adrien finds the most expensive restaurant in town, but it's on the far end so they stop to get a motorcycle first.

“I didn’t know you could ride,” Adrien gestures for the waiter in their private room, “Yes can I please have the duck?”

“My Nona taught me,” Marinette sips at the most expensive drink she can legally buy, “I thought you hated duck?”

“Oh I do,” Adrien grins, which drops when his phone starts ringing, “How did he even get this number?”

Marinette looks over his shoulder to see Gabriel trying to call. Adrien purposefully hangs up rolling his eyes.

“We should go do our hair next,” Adrien leans over the table with a manic grin, ”I was thinking of dying it hot pink,”

“Love the concept,” Marinette cringes at the very thought, “But the execution is flawed, you need to dye it a color you actually like not one just to spite your father otherwise he's still just controlling your life, just in a different way,”

“You're right,” Adrien sighs leaning back examining his blonde locks, “What do you think?”

“A nice pastel or cherry blossom pink would look amazing,” Adrien perks up at the suggestion he can still keep the pink, “Actually I might do that too- oh wait! Will that affect our transformation?”

“Not unless you really want to deep down,” Tikki explains, her and Plagg gorging themselves on expensive cheese and treats.

“Well deep down I really don't want to give away our identities like this,”

“It’s a plan then,” Adrien smiles, “Now do you want to order anything else?”

“Thanks but I’m full,”

“What's that got to do with anything?”

 ---

 “Looks great Nette,” Adrien gives her a side hug, the hairdresser shooing him away while he does the final touch-ups.

“Are you talking to me or yourself?” Marinette smiles at the new and improved shock of pink hair.

“Well obviously I look fabulous, but you look great too,” Marinette rolls her eyes at him looking back in the mirror. Instead of evening out her hair, they had made it look like her little episode was actually intentional giving it nice layers and even doing an undercut on the other side. Unlike Adrien, she didn't go all pink, instead the tips being white ombre up to pink and then her natural hair color.

“Thanks, you have to send a picture of your hair to Nino he's more invested in your teenage rebellion than you are, he’s probably also hurt you left him out of the running away part,”

“He has suggested, more than once, running away together,”

“Why what's wrong with Nino's family?”

“Nothing at all,” Adrien quickly covers, “I think he just really wanted me to run away, his mum offered to pack us lunches,”

“Well, maybe we could have used the turtle,” Marinette sighs, “But I could do that to Nino, you already had to leave Kagami behind, have you given her a call yet?”

“Oh um, about that-" Adrien points at her tapping his chin thoughtfully, "Never mention it again,”

“Adrien,” Marinette scowls, “Call your girlfriend,”

“She’ll kill me,” Adrien hides partly behind a seat looking meek, “Also you don't get to lecture me, you haven't called your parents,”

“That's different,” Marinette groans sinking into the seat, only to get told off for moving, “They’ll want me to come home, how am I supposed to explain that I can’t,”

“They’re your parents,” Adrien stresses, “I’m sure they’ll be happy enough to know your ok,”

“Maybe,” Marinette hums, the cloth being removed from her shoulders letting her get up, “I just feel so bad for putting them through this,”

“Maybe one day they’ll understand,” Adrien walks with her to the front to pay.

“Maybe,” Marinette looks down at the bill, “Wow this is a lot more expensive than the usual dye job,”

Made sense because they were in the higher income distinct of the city.

“Why Marinette,” Adrien grins swiping the card, “That's the point,”

Ten minutes later they were laughing as calls kept pouring in one after the other. They are only interrupted when they get the distinct feeling of an Akuma.

“Duty calls,” Adrien sighs putting his phone on silent.

“Seems so, at least we can call out skills multiple times," Marinette walks casually into an alley with him, “What are you up to?”

“About three,” Adrien shrugs transforming, “It takes about double the time for the transformation to drop now,”

“Same, wish I could say that gives us the edge but really it only keeps us from falling off the cliff,” Marinette also transforms, her new costume bringing a smile to her face.

“How eloquent my lady,” Marinette playfully pushes him, Chat catches himself catapulting over the building, she quickly follows behind.

The Akuma is standard, Marinette guesses the akumatized item is the wrist watch. The problem comes with their recurring thorn in her side.

“Ladybug-”

“Get out of the city,” She cuts Batman off, “Yeah, yeah let us handle this first,”

Marinette throws her yoyo out just in time to deflect an attack headed at Chat.

“Do you need any help?” Robin asks, Marinette smiles, partly at the aghast face Batman makes.

“Do you think you could tag-team it with me?” She asks formulating a plan, with the extra help she might not need the lucky charm, “Make your attacks big and draw his attention, grab the wristwatch if you can,”

“On it,” Robin gives her a nod jumping into the fray, Ladybug doesn't give batman a chance to object running after.

Robin does a good job they work in perfect sync falling back when the other moves to make an attack. When the Akuma focuses on them too much Chat swoops in and gets their attention giving them the chance to swipe at the wristwatch. It goes on she sees Robin get thrown back after another failed swipe at the wristwatch. Ladybug takes the chance to move forward grabbing for the wrist, she isn't watching out for the other arm, the impact hitting and sending her flying back.

“I got you,” Her momentum is stopped by a hand bracing at her back, saving her from crashing into the adjacent building.

“Thanks, Robin,” He helps steady her as she finds her footing again, “I’ll move in you follow me up,”

“No need,” He smirks brandishing the watch.

“You did it,” Ladybug beams, taking the watch and smashing it to the ground, “Great job!”

“Ah, thanks,” Ladybug doesn't pay attention to how Robin brushes, focusing on purifying the Akuma and fixing the damage.

“We made a pretty good team,” Ladybug turns to Robin when everything is settled, “Pound it,”

Robin meets her fist with some hesitance, which disappears when she smiles at him again.

“Ladybug!” Batman yells heading their way.

“Ops sorry,” Ladybug cringes, “Sorry! Cant stop gotta go, bye bye!”

They run from the scene faster than Batman can hope to catch them. They end up back at her newly brought bike stacked with fabric and protected by a bit of luck. Marinette races home to make everyone's gifts, knowing just who she wanted to start with.

 ---

 “There you are!” Marinette exclaims, having spent the past half hour searching the manor for him.

“What do you want?” Damian snaps as if he wasn't just playing with the cat on the floor half a second ago.

“Nothing, I made something for you~” He continues to scowl but Marinette doesn't let it discourage her, “Here, I didn’t know your size so I made a baggier style, do you like it?”

Damian takes the sweater holding it up to where she put it on him looking down a little shocked. Marinette almost wants to laugh at the expressions trying to shift back from awe to disinterest, it’s cute. She smiles wondering what his face would look like if she made a matching one for the cat, and maybe Titus too.

“.... It’s well made,” Damian eventually allows, folding it over his arm, Marinette notices how his fingers linger on the soft fabric.

“Good to know,” She smiles, bidding him goodbye before the moment can be ruined. She bounces down the hall humming to herself.

“Someone's happy,” Tikki flies out of her bag.

“He liked it, why wouldn't I be happy?”

“Someones really happy,”

“Stop it Tikki,” Marinette giggles, making the kwami laugh in turn.

“Just like adrien~” Tikki sing songs floating down the hall ahead of her.

“Well then, keep Kagami far away from this one,”

“Don’t turn into a stuttering mess and we have a deal,” Tikki agrees.

“Please Tikki I’m not thirteen anymore,” Marinette brushes her off, ready to go make the others gifts, if she spent the whole time humming to herself Tikki wasn't going to explain why to Adrien.

Taglist? nope don’t have one, horrible at keeping track of them sorry~

Irritated 4

A/N lol opps I wrote another part I hope you all enjoy this while it lasts. Tehe (insert evil face here)

Bakugou swipes at the steamy mirror wishing his shower could have been hotter.

Hot enough to burn his skin and bring him back to reality. He tongues his cheek as he stares at his reflection. Thinking of the chopsticks, of admitting to thousands of people that he actually LOVED your shitty coffee order that he drank to spite you.

And of your soft body pressed against his as you reached for his wallet. Sure he had pinned you and you had pinned him plenty of times in real anger fueled fist fights.

But that's exactly what they were. Tension come to a head and released the only way the two of you knew how. Talking with a fist was much more honest and effective than any word uttered.

So why were you clinging to him when you came back from the bathroom, sans cup that you needed soooo badly. Why were you wearing such shifty eyes so suddenly when you were fine before? And why were you holding yourself back at the restaurant? Did the waiter dare say something to you? Look at your chest too long? If he had why did you just let it go?

But most importantly why did Bakugou care?

He gives his reflection a grimace before walking into the dimly lit bedroom. Clicking his tongue when he sees your pillow placed on the bed, he rolls his eyes at how the security guard placed it.

Lewd side up with your suit ripped in the stupidest places to reveal more.

He would rip it right down the middle, fucking the zipper up so you couldn't hide from him before deleicatly, so agonizingly slow, sliding it down those broad shoulders to reveal those fat tits.

Wait what the hell was he thinking? Explosions pop on steady fingers as he thinks of destroying the stupid thing.

But then how would he torture you with it?

He shoves it off the bed before rooting around his bag for a pair of black boxer briefs. The kind that hug his ass and thighs nicely, leaving little to imagination on his size.

Movement catches his eye from the balcony and he presses himself into the shadows as best he can. The cool, textured wall further agitates the itch in his hands to ignite. He moves towards the door as he makes out a figure sitting in one of the cheap chairs on HIS balcony.

He bares his teeth as your ill will echoes through his head.

*"I hope you get stalked."*

Was that why you were constantly looking over your shoulder?

Right now it doesn't matter. He is thankful the figure cannot see him as he approaches the glass sliding door. He flings it open, hand erupting in pops causing the figure to jump and turn with lightning speed before floating mid air.

Eyes glowing faintly as they are fixated on his shirtless body.

It takes him milliseconds to figure out it is you.

You clad in hardly anything, your belly button ring catches the light pulling him back to the here and now. Reminding him that you might be displaying your ass for the world.

And not showing your ass with your damn attitude like you normally did. He grips onto your arm tightly pulling you harshly into his chest.

You want to yell but again the faint smell of buttery sugar and spices causing the bubbling anger to stop rising.

"Baka some fans know this is our hotel." He growls, squeezing you for a moment, "The internet can see your ass when *you* post it. Not when some random beta's try taking grainy pictures of it."

You don't say anything as you sink into his touch for a moment because in those quickly ticking seconds you feel normal....safe.

"What are you doing on my balcony?" He asks darkly and you push him away, slipping past his arms and into his hotel room.

"Let's watch a movie Kaachan!" You sing song, offering the best smile you can as you avoid the topic, "Deku was already asleep."

The lie leaves your lips with ease and he does not notice. Although you do notice his slight blush and he does notice your negligence to answer his question.

You plop on the couch curling into the corner as if you nether of you were half dressed as he sits furthest from you that he can. Flipping through the channels waiting for you to whine to stop and when you don't he steals a glance at you.

You're staring at the TV but it looks more to him as if you're staring through it. Nails digging into the couch as he watches everything within a foot radius around you float centimeters above their surface.

What the fuck was bothering you so badly?

A thump at your door and voices outside startle you and the items come crashing down, your cheeks burn.

"Oi. What the fuck are they doing outside?" Bakugou snarls as he goes to stand. You grab for his wrist looking up at him with pleading eyes.

Eyes that he meets with slits before ripping his hand free.

"If we're gonna watch a movie its gonna be quiet in the fucking hall. Now you pick little one." He snarls tossing the remote onto the cushion that was between you two. You hastily grab for it muting the TV as the plastic rectagle in your hand groans from the pressure of your vice grip.

Bakugou opens the door without a second thought despite his lack of clothes. He spots a man with green eyes staring at your door until the numbers burn into his retinas.

Bakugou doesnt miss him deactivating his quirk although the man thinks he is keeping it hidden by angling his body just so. Red eyes watch pale flesh pulling back into itsself forming a solid hand once more.

"Oi, what are you doing?" His voice comes out dark and for a second the green eyed man looks a little less deranged and a little more scared.

Bakugou studies his face, committing the slope of his nose, the width of his eyes, and the small scar on his upper lip to memory and wondering if he's seen it before.

And where he had seen it before? A villain database? A B rated wanted poster?

No he clearly couldn't use his quirk well enough to keep it hidden and his quirk seemed more creepy than harmful.

Still Katsuki did not like him standing in front of your door with eyes that gleamed in the dull light of the hall. Katuki grips the door jamb, the wood whines from the force as he tries to keep himself in check.

"Are you fucking deaf? What are you doing here?"

The man blinks rapidly before offering a smile that looks off. His lips twitching as if he cannot do it properly.

"Have you seen Tejina? I want to give her this. She left it." He says as he rummages through his bag further putting Katsuki on edge. He let's the adrenaline heat his skin as sweat begins to form in his palm, waiting and willing to combust on command.

The man produces a pastel purple cup, with a relaxed Aizawa in an oversized knit sweater holding a sleepy cat. Their expressions eerily similar with MOOD in bold capitalized letters. Scalet eyes narrow, so she had bought it.

Why leave it? Was this guy there?

Bakugou snatches the cup, teeth bared as he speaks again. Who was this asshole?

"I'll give it to her. Now leave before I put you in the hospital. Got it?" Malice radiates off the ash blonde in waves as he thinks of this creep getting to close to you.

Suddenly his demeanor changes as he holds eye contact with Katsuki.

"That's not how a hero should speak." You hear the phrase from the couch causing your blood to run cold. This could be it. This could be game over for Bakugou's career like it almost was for you just a short while ago.

Explosions litter Katsuki's skin as his voice dips so low your stomach clenches with worry.

With fear.

"I don't give a fuck how a hero should speak. I just know how one should act. Now stop hovering around her fucking door before the coroner comes to haul your ass out of here."

"You talk as if she is yours." The man seemingly unphased by Bakugou's most deadly tone.

"So what if she is fucking mine?" Some how an even deadly tone slips out, more violent explosions appear on his skin as he steps into the hall. This time the man swallows thickly, eyes darting as if torn.

Torn between the love he has for you and the hatred he has for this Ground Zero who had his meat head paws sullen your angelic skin. He turns on his heel without a word as he makes his way for the stairwell.

Your heart thuds in your chest as Bakugou returns.

"Your cup." He growls, giving you a pointed look as he sets it on the coffee table.

"T..th.." You clear your throat, "Thank you Bakugou."

He watches from his end of the couch with his head in his hand before hissing out.

"The sooner you pick a movie. The sooner you can get the fuck out."

Bakugou speaks to you like this all time.

So why does it feel like he took a knife to your chest just now. As if he pushed it hilt deep, your breathing hitches. Still you nod as you flip through some channels before finding an old movie from your childhood.

One you used to watch with your grandmother. Comfort slowly fills your chest and you relax into the couch.

That is until you hear thumping, stomping feet and an obnoxious amount of noise before drunken laughing rings out.

You shake without realizing it as if you were a dog hiding in a corner, so unused to people and your master was throwing a party on the forth of July.

Your movement catches blood red eyes. Deft eyes that know that your movements are from fear, yet he still pulls the comforter off of the bed.

"Wha..what are you...?"

"You're cold dumbass." He growls, pulling you onto the cushion next to him fluffing the blanket for the two of you. He pulls it to your shoulders and tucks it this way and that so it does not move before he covers his lap. Resting his jaw onto a bored hand.

You stare, astounded as you look at this much more complicated man than you thought before his eyes dart to you out of the corner of his eye.

"Movie is that way baka." Before a mischievously cocky smirk pulls at his lips, "That is unless you cant keep your eyes off of me in all my glory."

Your cheeks flush before you HMPH as loud as and as dramatic as you can

"Fucking as if!" You hiss. Crossing your arms as you go back to the movie.

With each passing of familiar scene exhaustion begins to weigh heavy on your body.

Your eye lids especially, reminding you of how heavy your head is. You slump, uncaring of your posture as you lean your head against a sculpted but surprisingly soft shoulder.

Bakugou glares at you, quickly slowing his irritated OI! that was clawing up his throat when he sees how relaxed you look.

How *cute* you look. Tucking your feet and really snuggling into him feigning watching the movie as you fight sleep. He sighs, admitting defeat that somethings he cannot fight. Deku's words ring in his head before he bares his teeth.

*"...Shes had a long day."*

And it shows as you fall victim to sleep a lot faster than he thought you would. He leaves you for the remainder of the movie before gently scooping you up, your protest with a groan while your arms give you away. Wrapping tightly around him causing his heart to beat irraticlly, especially so when you nuzzle into his neck with a smile.

He brings you to the bed, comforter and all, lying you down gently. He figured the two of you could switch rooms or at the very least he could take the couch but there was just one little problem.

You wouldn't fucking let go. Even as strong arms pushed against yours you wouldn't budge. He is about to use lethal force until a subtle glow settles over his arms and your hands. Your eyes flutter open just a bit and when he meets them he feels as if his heart was ripped out of his chest. An odd weight settles in his stomach as he drinks you in.

Your eyes are so...so sad looking, as tears begin to well in them even in your mostly asleep state, your plump lips pulled southward in an undying frown.

"Stay." You whisper so lowly he could barely hear you. He scoffs, opening his mouth to retort and tell you that you're half asleep and must be dreaming of an ex. That is until you repeat yourself to him. Voice cracking

"Please stay Katsuki."

His heart races as his cheeks BURN. No one has ever said his name so tenderly before. Sure he has had plenty of past lovers and one nightstands but not a soul has come close to the reaction he has had to your three word sentence.

And who is he to deny a woman in need? A strong woman that is clearly having a very rare, vulnerable moment. A moment she is trusting him with. You are trusting him with.

He sucks his teeth and even half asleep you know he is going to stay. You're more reassured by his decision as he keeps one hand on your bare skin at all times as he whispers complaints, fixing the blanket you are "hogging for kami's sake" as you fade in and out. All before that strong arm wraps around you and pulls your back to his chest.

You sigh, letting sleep fully blanket you as buttery sugar and spices lulls you into a deep sleep.

My loves as per your request @casterixe @ha-tep

@thenezuko

thenezuko tumblr wont let me tag you love :(

Back to You | 1

Summary: He broke your heart, but you’d always love him. Two souls that not even the universe could tear apart, even if you wanted it to at times.

Pairing: Tom Holland x Reader

A/N: I told you guys I'd update to the best of my abilities!!! Hope you guys enjoy, just a bit of a filler, next chapter will be pretty intense so watch out for that. As always I hope you enjoy. I'll clean up the whole post tomorrow if there's a laptop or computer nearby since I'm just updating via cellphone.

Word count: not quite sure.

Prologue | 1 | 2

3 months later

“I’m home!” You hear the door slam from inside of what’s become your room and you het up from your seat, hoodie and sweatpants still on.

“I see you still look the same as when I left you this morning.” Troye gives you a pointed look that has you staring at him with an unamuzed face as you slumped your shoulders, “And not in a mood to joke around, I see.” He pulls out a bottle of wine that clinks with the other bottes in the paper bag and hands it over to you, “That’s for you, my little alcoholic.” He pats your head.

You sit down at the table, your right knee brought close to your chest and your left leg up on the chair as well, “How is the outside world?” You place the bottle on the table, “Is loaf bread still a thing?”

Troye snorts in laughter, “She finally speaks! And bonus, actually made a witty quip.” He ducks down to place the detergents under the sink, “I don’t think I’ve seen you sober without a hangover in two months.” He sits down on the chair in front of you and smiles sadly at you, he reaches across the table, squeezing your hand, “How are you today, love?”

You sigh, pulling your hood off, and taking out the bun in your hair before redoing it, “I don’t know, I still feel like shit.”

“Obviously.” He mutters under his breath, “You two were together for 3 years, you can’t just fucking break that up and not feel like shit for a long time.” He scoffs, “You can do sooo much better, Y/N.” His eyes soften up, “You know, he called me again today. I bullshitted him, obviously, he also asked about why my landline wasn’t in service.”

You eye the wire from the phone that you cut when you’d heard his voice from the answering machine, and you give him an apologetic look.

“And your sister called again too. She was worried.”

You sigh, rubbing your face in frustration, “I just cant talk to them right now. I don’t want to have to talk about him when I’m this out of it. They loved him so much.”

Troye sighs and stands up, walking behind your chair and undoes your bun, brushing his fingers through your hair, getting the tangles out, “Look Y/N. When you showed up on my doorstep three months ago soaking wet with blisters on your feet, I told you to do what you need for as long as you need to. I told you to stay for as long as you needed to. But for the past three months, you’ve been getting drunk and crying over him, this isn’t getting over it anymore, it’s just regression.” He grabs you by the shoulders and turns you to face him, “You are a strong independent woman, and I absolutely love having you here with me, but some things need to change.” He pulls you up and over to your room, “You room is a literal pig-sty.”

He runs over to your laptop, “And you can’t keep getting updates on him.” He shows you the articles opened up on your browser from months ago as he closes them one by one.

“Tom Holland steps out looking fresh from a cry with red puffy eyes and disheveled hair.” Closed.

“Tom Holland eats alone at restaurant, phone glued to his ear as he tries to contact Y/N?” Closed.

“Tom Holland takes dog Tessa out for a walk lookng tired and depressed.” Closed.

“Spider-man actor quitting franchise over relationship problems?” I point an accusing finger towards the article, “In my defense, I got a lot of shit for that, and I didn’t defend myself even if it was just clickbait because I promised myself that I wouldn’t go on social media!” Closed.

“Oh I’ll get to that.” He nudged your shoulder pushing you to sit on the bed.

“Tom Holland caught getting emotional on the phone.” Closed.

“Trouble in paradise? Tom spotted out once again, without Y/N in sight.” Closed.

“Tom Holland, spotted out and about, Y/N still as phone background, have the two worked out their problems?”

“Y/N spotted for the first time in months looking haggard as she grabs a bite to eat at local London Bakery.” He gives you a deadpanned look, “Seriously?”

You shrug, “That’s on you. You were gone for the whole day and I had nothing to eat.”

He sighs, closing the browser window with multiple tabs about Tom still opened, “Sweetie, you have got to stop caring so much. I understand that you love him and you two were in love.” He makes a stupid mushy face, “But he hurt you! Live your life, you don’t have to worry about him anymore.”  He opens the next browser window still opened on Tom’s instagram and twitter, “Exhibit B.” He gives you a look before closing the browser.

“You’ve written so many good songs too! But you won’t even share them with the world.” He sat down next to you, clicking around on your laptop before the room is filled with your voice, singing.

You look over at him, “You really think they’re good?”

“I have literally cried with you at night while you would sing.”

You sigh, “I can’t sing right now. I just don’t feel like I can release at album where I’m at emotionally.”

“Then sell some of these to musicians who will, your songs deserve to be heard around the world. And for goodness’ sake, Y/N. Read this will you? It’s been in the mail bin for a month now, they’ve wanted to meet with you for a while now.” He throws a script on your bed

“You aren’t this stupid crying child, Y/N. You are fabulous and you didn’t need a man before Tom, why the hell would need one now?” He has his hands on his hips, “The Y/N I know is better than this. So unless you plan on being her again, then I’m gonna have to cut you off.” He grabs the half finished wine bottle on your dresser before slamming the door shut behind him, “Clean up your room and I’ll call uou when we need to leave to have lunch outside for once.”

You look over at the script on the bed, “The Greatest Showman”, and turn to the first page.

----------------------------------

“Yeah, I just finished reading the script.” You speak into the phone you kept for business, “I love it.”

“Wait-” Your manager’s voice sounds excited on the other end, “Does this mean you’re going to do it?”

You bite your lip, “Yeah. I think I am, I’m done with this. I don’t want to sit around getting drunk and cry all the time. I’ll send you some compositions I’ve been making these past few months, maybe find some artists who could use the sound on their albums.”

“Th-this is great news, Y/N!” She practically shouts into the phone, “Alright, this is perfect. We’ll fly you out the LA in a few days and you can meet with the directors, meet with the rest of the cast. They’ll be so happy to hear this, I mean, you were their first choice.” she sighs happily, “Alright, well I’ll go ahead and email you the details. I’ll get on the phone with them asap so we can arrange this whole thing!” She pasues, “I’m really proud of you, Y/N.”

“Does this mean you don’t want to be my roommate anymore?” You turn to see Troye pouting with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

You roll your eyes, holding out your arms for a hug, “No way. You’re my bitch forever now.” You laugh, “Thanks for the tough love.” He rubs your back while hugging you, “I really needed it.”

“Ugh, I know you did. It sucked having to be so mean to you.” He pulls away from you, “But please don’t ever ever wear anything like what you were wearing in that article, you looked like garbage.” He scoffs at you, “Now go get dressed and we can talk all about your new movie over lunch!" He squeals.

_________________________

"So glad you could make it, Y/N." Michael leans over to give you a handshake which you take gratefilly, "Hopefully the flight wasn't too tough on you. You've been in London so long, I'm sure you'd have jetlag coming back here."

"It was great! I'm so sorry about not getting back to you sooner, I was gling through some stuf-"

He holds his open palm, "Oh, say no more. I understand, you've been very strong amidst your relationship problems and have stayed above it." He compliments you, taking a bite out of his grilled chicken.

Ylu paste on a tense smile, "We all deal with it in our own ways." You sigh, remembering the days you'd spend drinking glass after glass of wine or whatever liquor was available.

"Anyway, so we wanted you for the role of Anne Wheeler, a pink haired trapeze artist and acrobat who falls in love with Hugh Jackman's business partner and protege, Philippe Carlyle." He ponders for a while, "Obviously we had you in mind for Anne, and we also had Ben Hardy in mind for Philippe, but since you were taking a while to give your answer, we honestly did start approaching other people for the roles and since Ben wasn't too keen on the role after finding out we might be going for Zendaya, it was just more work to get done before the production even started, but now that we have you aboard, everything's going according to plan!"

You clench your glass of water at the mention of Zendaya, you were definitely not feeling well enough to be around too many people, "So…" you play with the table napkin, tearing it to smaller bits and pieces starting at the corner, "When does filming start?"

He munches on some mashed potatoes, "We were hoping to start next month so it would probably.take a good 3 to 5 months to shoot, but your filming would probably be shorter since this is focused more in Hugh's character."

You clasp your hands together, "Perfect, I love it!"

"So, we'll send over the contract within a day or two to your manager, and we'll just pick up from there." He stands up to give you a quick hug.

__________________________________

You hop out the car, walking straight to the elevator in your hotel, your manager following closely behind, "He's your phone. Troye told me you broke it after throwing it against the wall." She looks over at me nervously, "I thought it'd be good for you to listen to his voice every now and then."

You take it without saying a word and stuf fit in your pocket, ignoring the constant dings and alerts coming from it as your manager gets off at the 12 floor. You grip the phone tight in your hand. You knew you didn't hate Tom, you walk out the elevator and towards your room, kicking off your shoes and finding more comfortable clothes to wear.

You could never hate him. But a part of you was afraid of all the messages he'd left you you were scared that if you opened them, you'd come crawling back to him, or if you heard him pleading for you to come back, you'd do it in a heartbeat.

You lie in bed, pondering over the phone, technically, you didn't need to open the messages.

0601 you hear a 'click' before a picture of your scrunched up face as Tom kisses your cheek greets you and you feel your heart ache. You open the photo gallery, and while your scrolling through all the pictures and videos, you accidentally press kn a video.

"I am with a child." You laugh as you watch him,it was raining in London, but you two were out and about, "Babe, let's get back to the car. We can just drive there."

You point the camera towards him as he jumps in a puddle, laughing loudly, pulling you along, "What are you doing with that umbrella? Get over here!" He pulls the umbrella away, "I love you." He mumbles before embracing you and giving you a kiss.

You pull away, giving him a look, "We're gonna be late to the movies, you know."

He shrugs, grinning at you and looking you like a lovesick puppy, he pulls you in again, "It's just the movies." He grins against your lips.

And then suddenly the video cuts and you're left there missing him and missing who the two of you used to be.

You smile sadly at the black screen, clutching it closer to your chest as you hug your phone, the closest thing you had to Tom, as you drift off to sleep.

Lettuce & Cheese Please

So basically I wake up in a new world. After 7 years of dating the same man, I was single. This isn’t breaking news, but being single in this day & age means dating in the era of technology and convenience. I was about to find out how much it sucks. Now, I'm no stranger to meeting people online. Ive been a member of music message boards since I was in my teens & Ive met plenty of people online & formed relationships in that way. That being said, dating apps have created a new dating game where the next best thing is just a swipe away. I'm not use to that life. I am use to going after what I want and seeing that through. I don't have an attention span to date multiple people at once. I am an extremely passionate person and I honestly don't have it in me to give to more than one person at a time. I was about to start a journey learning some hard lessons about dating in 2015 starting with my first date outside of my relationship. This isn’t a tinder story & we met organically so off to a good start I thought. Nah, y’all, nope.

So my new job is above a restaurant and  many days during my breakup Id go down to the bar after work to have a(several) drink. Some days Id still be doing that really cute thing where Id bust into tears out of nowhere. Somewhere in between catching tears in my mouth while chugging my beer & ordering  a margarita that my now salty beer has me craving, I made a friend. The bartender was a nice enough guy & he seemed to be pretty low on the creep scale. I agreed to meet him at a bar near my house for a drink. Side note: Im an introvert, I don’t love strangers & I loathe small talk. I got my shit together and went to the bar. I was first to arrive, fine by me. Give me a fucking drink because Im already way over this. Here he comes a few minutes later, in flip flops & cargo shorts. Now, listen Im no person that claims to have any fashion sense or desire to keep up with clothing trends for the most part. Flip flops are a strong no for me. Unless we are by a body of water, I don’t get it. Throw a shoe on, are you that lazy? Is it sooooo hot that you just have to have your toes out to breathe? Ok, onto the cargo shorts. I get it, they are so versatile. I mean, plenty of room for all your shit. Your wallet, keys, phone, hammer, measuring tape. All the essentials of a first date. Leave them at home or back in the 90′s when they tried to be acceptable before. Anyways, you can tell he is nervous & for some reason he has a very hard time looking me in the eye when we speak. Im a scorpio so Im going to need eye contact so I can see whats a sack of shit you are or aren’t. He quickly orders a drink & suggests we go sit on the patio to talk. Just as soon as we sit down at a table he picks his chair up and sets it damn near on top of mine. Grabs my face (huge NOPE for me, ill get into this) and tries to kiss me. I legit shove him off of my face and just look at him like what the fuck are you doing. He quickly apologizes saying that he thought I wanted him to kiss me. Oh nope, no I sure dont I told him. He feels like an asshole and he should so we go inside to sit among people to try to start over. I should've peaced out but then i wouldn’t have this little gem to share with you all. At the bar now, he proceeds to ask me questions while staring straight ahead. Hey bud, over here. Why cant you look at me while Im speaking to you? He claims that I make him nervous, this has to be his only explanation as to why he did what he did next. He turns to me, grabs my thigh & says to me that my thighs looks so delicious & substantial that he wanted to put lettuce & cheese on them and eat them. I spun around on my barstool and damn near fell off. Looking around me like, are you talking to me?? Yes, he was and went onto say, maybe a little onion & tomato too. Listen bro, I got to go. I jumped up & walked to the front door to head on out. He followed and I got out front just in time for him to pull me close and plant one on me anyways. I laughed and 100% thought ok, my friends are behind this shit. There is no way this is real life. Im on a new hidden camera dating show, haha gotcha! Nope, the joke was on me because now I was going to have to dodge between cars from work to my car in the lot trying to avoid him.

SPOILER ALERT: I failed many, many times avoiding him. Even though I made it clear to him I wasn’t interested, he asked me out every single time until he no longer worked there.

That was a lot to write before getting to my fucking point but I do that. I go on tangents so go ahead & make peace with that now. I’ll wait.

DEATH CITY DAYS CHAPTER 11

while medusa and noah are making prepperations, our DWMA crew head to the city in the sky, and uncover some truth about stocking’s origins.

once again, shoutout to @soul-dwelling for making this RP possible!

-elsewhere- medusa: *smirking* Noah: (his wrists and ankles pinned by her arrows) "Hmph...I'm not saying that wasn't good...but not as much fun as when I get to touch..." medusa: too bad... that was one hell of an orgasm though... that you didnt cause~ Noah: (biting his lip, trying to hold back) "I could tell: your sounds were...enthusiastic." medusa: *griiins* Noah: (stares at her body) "I think you traded up in bodies, too...Those tits..." medusa: what about them? Noah: (smirks) "You proud of them? 'Cause you should be." medusa: oh i am. and with big sis gone, i'm the most endowed gorgon sister.) Noah: (licks his lips) "Put your hands on them..." medusa: heh...nope~ Noah: (frowns) "Fine...If we aren't going to play, then I'll have you get back to work..." medusa: just remember i still have you pinned. Noah: "And so long as I am pinned..." (nods to the Book of Enoch) "...that book is useless to you." medusa: hmm..... *she rubs her foot against his shaft* Noah: (biting his lip) "God..." (moans with pleasure) medusa: if i could, i'd love to skin you alive. Noah: (smiles) "And what would you do with my skin?" medusa: i'd set it on fire. Noah: (chuckles) "I've come back from worse...What would you do with my skinless body?" (arches his hips a bit towards her foot) medusa: i might grind the bones for potions and feed the meats to passing strays. Noah: (laughs) " 'Feed passing strays'? No, the only one I feed is you..." (looks at his hardening penis) medusa:..... *she steps on him* Noah: "Arg!" (pained, but trying to keep a smile) "You cunt..." medusa: *smirks* you're welcome~ Noah: "You know what I would do to you? I'd show you just how flexible you are..." medusa: sure.... i think i remember the prison guards taking some girl to the psyche ward... i think she was your servant... is this correct? Noah: (chuckles) "Yes...Break some bones, break her mind." medusa: you probably used her body up too... like that girl and your old servant, Ilise. Noah: (inhales) "Her blood...God, that smell was delicious..." medusa: blood or blood ink? Noah: (smirks) "I need something to jog my memory..." medusa: *she bites her lip till it bleeds and kisses him* Noah: (swallows her blood, licking at the cut) "Blood ink...is not as good as the real thing..." medusa: heh... Noah: (tries to slip his tongue past her lips...) medusa: *she backs up* uh-uh-uh~ not so fast~ Noah: "Please...Just a bit of fun..." medusa: only if you beg~ Noah: (frowns) "Please...Lady Medusa?" Noah: "I am not fit to lick your toes..." medusa: what was that? i cant hear you~ Noah: (louder) "I am a worm, here at your feet, desiring only one thing: to pleasure you. And I am not even fit to do that." medusa: tch- that's better~ -elsewhere- Patty: (resting her feet in the pool) liz: hey sis. Patty: (smiles) "Hey, Sis! Some wedding shindig that was, huh?" liz: yeah it sure was. Patty: (rubs her face) "Just wish I didn't get elbowed in the face like that...Some conga line..." liz: *hugs her* Patty: (returns the hug) "How 'bout you? You like the dancing and the feasting?" liz: yeah. i'm glad wes got to make it. Patty: :3 "Liz..." liz: ??? Patty: "You going to take him out before he flies to his next gig?" liz: well, he did invite me to dinner at this french restaurant that opened up... Patty: *poke poke* "Go!" liz: well, he's in town for the next 3 days. he invited me out for tomorrow... Patty: (seizes Liz by the shoulder) "We get you a new outfit, get your hair done, and you get a great date with a hottie!" (puts her face against hers) "But you need sleep for all of that prep!" -the next day- Patty: (humming happily) -at the restaurant.- liz: wes! great to see you! Wes: "Liz! It's great to see you, too..." (holds out his arms) liz: *she hugs him* Wes: (smiles, then pulls back) "Love your hair." liz: *blush* thanks. Wes: (pulls out the chair for her to sit) liz: this is a really fancy place. Wes: (nods, as he pushes her chair in) "I was pleased with the reviews--and how amenable they were to get us a reservation." liz: yeah... so where is your next gig? Wes: "Back to London." liz: ah. Wes: "Looking forward to it: packed house. And congratulations again on becoming a college student!" liz: yeah. hard to believe... Wes: (smiles) "You deserve it...So..." (pulls out from under the table a small, gift wrapped box) liz: ?? Wes: "I bought you this, to commemorate your entrance into college...Would you mind opening it?" liz: *she opens the box* --It's a fountain pen-- liz: aw wes. this is so nice of you. *she smiles* Wes: "Something to help you with writing notes...It-It writes clearly, minimal pressure, and it came with a lifetime supply of ink..." (blushes a bit) "My parents got me one when I left college..." liz: *she blushes* Wes: *clear throat* "Um, so...W-Would you like to order?" liz: i think the steak. Wes: (nods) "I think I'll have the same." -at another table.- Spirit: (smiling stupidly) cathrine: mmmh~ the food here is delicious~! Spirit: "Yes, that's what brought me here...and of course you." cathrine: aww~ *she cuts some food* say 'aaaaah~' Spirit: (blushes but opens his mouth) "Aaaah..." --At the bar, watching-- Kami (in disguise): ("Well, I lost my appetite...") --Back at Spirit and Cathrine's table-- cathrine: hehe~ thanks for bringing my magazine for me. Spirit: "Anything for you. Typical of the post office to screw that up." cathrine: yeah, its so hard to get good help these days. *she holds his hand* Spirit: (smiles, lightly rubbing along her hand) "I've enjoyed spending time with you, Cathrine." cathrine: do you think..... *looks around* the bathrooms are spacious here? Spirit: (blushes, gulps) "One way to find out..." cathrine: well come on then~ -she leads him by his tie- Spirit: "O-Okay..." Kami: (watching o_o "Are you kidding me?!") -the music is turned up to drown out the screams- Kami: (spots Cathrine's jacket...) "Hmm..." (walks by...and drops a tracker on it, and goes back to the bar) --Inside the bathroom-- [2 lewd] Spirit: (panting) "That was great." cathrine: ahhh~ damn that felt amazing... Spirit: (smiles) "So, was that 'dessert'? Or did you want one off of the menu?" cathrine: well, we should go back out now.. maybe we can finish up at your place~? Spirit: "S-Sure...Unless you wanted to go back to your place..." cathrine: yeah, but my place i such a mess right now. Spirit: (kisses along her neck as she straightens herself) "If it is already a mess, then it won't be a problem if we make it a bigger mess...But if you are set on it, sure, my place is fine..." cathrine: aww~ *smooch* Spirit: (smiles) "You'll love my bedroom...large bed, satin sheets..." cathrine: ooh~ Spirit: (gooses her as they exit) -in another stall, the occupant is horrified- cathrine: ooh~! Spirit: "Heh heh..." --Back at another table-- Wes: "That was an excellent meal." liz: yeah, it was really good. -at another table- nygus: sid? are you alright? Sid: "F-Fine..." (whispers) "I had eyes on a target." nygus: any updates? Sid: "...They are going back to Spirit's residence. We are not going to get a chance to find her HQ." nygus: darn... Sid: "Just have to hope that magazine Stein and Valentine rigged up works: if she brings it to her home, we can track her. And its bug will let us see and hear..." (shudders) "I think I've heard enough..." nygus:... ?? Sid: "N-Nothing..." (notices someone at the bar) "Hmm..." nygus: ..... *shrugs* Kami: (keeping her back to Sid and Nygus...) -cathrine and spirit have left- -elsewhere- Spirit: "Here we are!" Kami: (down the block, looking at her tracker..."To your place, Spirit? Yuck.") cathrine: you have such a nice place. *she looks at some pictures, some of spirit, others of maka and kami* Spirit: (notices the photos) "Thanks..." (points) "My ex-wife...our Maka." cathrine: *looks at maka* such a sweet girl... its awful what happened to her... Spirit: "..." *sniffs* cathrine: *she hugs him* Spirit: (cries a bit, then calms down) "Thank you...I wish Maka could have met you..." cathrine: ....... Spirit: "..." (kisses her cheek) cathrine: *she smiles* Spirit: (pulls down her jacket a bit, kissing her shoulder) cathrine: ahhh~ Spirit: (removes her jacket, tossing it behind him onto a chair...knocking the tracker off of it so it lands under the chair)) cathrine: spirit you naughty boy~ Spirit: (wraps his arms around her waist) "Will I be punished?" cathrine: actually, i like-em a lil naughty~ Kami: T_T ("I hate this job...") -in what is totally a delivery truck- nygus: O_O Spirit: (smirks) "Oh..." (tugs on the collar to her shirt, kissing at the top of her cleavage) cathrine: *she moans softly* Sid: -_- "I was never the kind of man to be turned on by this...and I'm still not that kind of zombie..." (shudders) nygus: why...just....why? Spirit: (grips along the bottom of her shirt, pulling it up as he gets on his knees to kiss her belly) Sid: "We're being punished. That's the only answer." cathrine: ohhh~ Spirit: (licks along her belly button) cathrine: hehe~ that tickles~! Spirit: (continues licking, as his fingers unbutton her pants) cathrine: ahhh~ Spirit: "Ooh...Very sexy..." (he coaxes her out of her pants, then picks her up, bridal style) cathrine: ah! haha~ Spirit: (brings her into his bedroom, and shuts the door...) -10 minutes later- nygus: O_____________________O Kami: "...I hate this fucking job." Sid: "...Jeez." cathine: AHHHHHHH~!! Spirit: "God, yes!" nygus: i feel violated. sid: "Be grateful they didn't bring the magazine in--or we'd be seeing it..." (shudders) Kami: "..." (facepalm) "Jeez...My ex-husband and some hot witch boinking. FML." cathrine: ah~ right there~! fuck me, daddy, fuck me! Kami: o_o Sid: o_o Spirit: "Take it, baby! Take it!" nygus: *she vomits into a can* Sid: (pats her back) "Stein is going to have to pay us so much over-time..." Kami: "...Well, I see Spirit's bedroom talk hasn't changed. And here's the part where he says--" Spirit: "You naughty little girl! Papa spank!" Kami: "Yep. Predictable." nygus: TURN IT OFF FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TURN IT OFF!! Sid: "Go lie down..." (puts in headphones) "I'll listen...to make sure this witch doesn't kill him...Not before I punch him in the gut." Kami: "..." (fans herself a little) "Man..." cathrine: AHHH~! OH YES~! GIVE IT TO ME BABY! Kami: "..." (shakes her head) Spirit: (panting, grunting) "You like that? You like that?" (loud sound of a spanking) Kami: o\\\\\o "..." cathrine: AHH~! Spirit: "Who's a naughty girl?" cathrine: me~ im such a dirty little slut~! Spirit: "Yes, you are..." (his hands reach her breasts as he continues...) "Take it, you little slut...Take it!" Kami: (shakes her head) "This is torture. This is torture. This is torture..." nygus: TT~TT i've seen horrible things in my life. lacerations. severed limbs, burns... but this is by far the worst of it all... Sid: "It's like hearing two constipated sloths killing each other." nygus: gen you better not pass out on us! Gen: "...I hate life. I want to die..." nygus: .... Spirit: "You naughty minx..." (sounds of more spanking) cathrine: ahhhh~n! Spirit: "Oh God...Oh God! Kami!" Kami: o_o Spirit: "..." Sid: :0 cathrine: ?? uh... *she starts chuckling* aww, did you mess up? Spirit: "...Y-Yeah...Sorry...Um...I-I'm still good...A-Are you?" cathrine: yeah... you gonna finish or what? Kami: (covers her mouth, reaches for the garbage can in her hotel room, vomits) nygus: NOOOOOOO!!!!! Spirit: "Oh...S-Sure...Um..."

Job...And when I next see Lord Death, I'm slapping him." neighbor: SHUT THE FUCK UP IM TRYING TO WRITE IN HERE ASSHOLE!! Spirit: (panting, sighs...laughs a bit as he pulls out of Cathrine) "Ignore them..." (kisses her lips) "Jerk." nygus: *crying* Sid: (pats her shoulder) "It's okay...It's over..." Spirit: "Up for Round 2?" Sid: o_o nygus: *SCREAMS AND FAINTS* Sid: "Nygus! Where the hell are the smelling salts?!" Spirit: (sounds of him kissing Cathrine) "God, you were amazing..." -elsewhere- Wes: (smiles) "That was a great dinner, Liz. Thanks for tonight." liz: no problem. Wes: "...Liz?" liz: hmm? Wes: "..." (approaches her, leans his head towards her) liz: we- Wes: (kisses...her cheek) liz: o///////////////o Wes: (pulls back, looks at her, while blushing) "..." liz: ah.....

What are you thinking about?" stocking: you wanted to talk to me about something? Kid: (hugs her) "We...will have our mission to find the Sky Sage, soon." stocking: yeah.... Kid: "...Is there anything I can do to help you?" stocking: *she holds him* ............. Kid: (holds her, stroking her hair) "It's going to be okay." stocking:........... i think liz is back. Kid: (pops up over the couch) "Oh, Liz. Welcome." liz: hey kid, stocking. Kid: "How was your evening?" liz: pretty good. the music got a bit loud, but great none-the-less. Kid: "Hmm...That's unfortunate. How is Wes?" liz: pretty good. he gave me a fountain pen as a collage gift. Kid: (smiles) "That was kind of him." (smirks) "So, you didn't see fit to bring him home to let us speak with him?" liz: he had to get back to his hotel room. Kid: (nods) "Well, if you see him again, pass along my hello." liz: can do. -elsewhere- soul: MAKA!!........... *panting*........ soul:.....dammit...... Black Star: *yawn* "Dude, it's late...Come on..." (points to the kitchen, where Tsubaki left some cookies) "I'll get the milk." soul: thanks.... Black Star: "...You see your brother yet?" soul:....... Black Star: "You'd better. He's flying out soon, right?" soul:............ Black Star: "...Okay. I'm not going to make you...But that doesn't mean I'm going to let you mope inside this apartment, either. You run into him, you'll have to talk with him, man." soul: yeah.... Black Star: "...Okay." (munches on a cookie) -elsewhere- lord death: *rubbing yumi's stomach* Yumi: (smiles) "They have been kicking so much..." lord death: *he smiles* hey sweetie, daddy's here~ *kisses her stomach* Yumi: (something between a moan and a murmur) lord death: hehe~ cuties~ Yumi: "Look who's talking..." (pats his head) lord death: *purrs* Yumi: (giggles) "You silly..." -elsewhere- Kana: (holding flowers) eternal feather: those are really pretty, kana. Kana: (blushes) "You're welcome. How are you?" eternal feather: a lot better now. Kana: (nods) "Who else visited in the hospital?" eternal feather: tsugumi, anya, and meme....h-hiro visited too. Kana: "...Oh. You are still sexually attracted to him." eternal feather: w-what?! Kana: "Or romantically attracted. Whatever is more appropriate to say. I really don't know. But the stammering and your blushing suggests you have strong feelings for him." eternal feather: ./////. Kana: "Perhaps you should engage in ritualistic activities undertaken by persons attracted to each other: sharing meals, walking together through arboreal locations, shopping together..." eternal feather: hmmm... .////. Kana: "...Maybe start small. See whether you can study together." (walks up to her, hugs her) "Not even Tarot can predict what will happen." eternal feather:...thanks.... -hospital- justin: *reading* Giriko: "Jeez, this is one hell of a pain! Not even a good pain--like a bad pain!" gopher: *humph* serves you right... kirika: *playing neko atsume on her phone* Giriko: "I'm sorry! Jeez! How many times do I have to say it?!" (cringes) "Ah! How am I still alive after that guy twisted me like a fucking balloon animal?!" kirika: immortality maybe?.... he did blast you with lazers..... and throw you around like a doll. Giriko: "Man, I went down like a bitch..." kirika: it was pretty fucked up. gopher: wow... i want to be strong like that someday... Giriko: "Tch. Puttin' it mildly..." (looks at Gopher) "You'll need muscles first, squirt." gopher: *^* Giriko: "Kirika, you brought me what I asked for during my extended hospital stay?" kirika: got it right here. *she pulls it out of her bag* Giriko: (salivating) "Oh, yeah! Thank you!" gopher: ?? Giriko: "Ha ha ha...The nurses here won't let me have cigarettes. They say it harms the other patients..." (pulls out cigarettes...then stops) "Where's the lighter?" nurse: and just what do you think you're doing with those, mr? Giriko: (stares) "Smoking. What the fuck does it look like I'm doing?" -SMACK- Giriko: "Ow! How am I supposed to get better if everyone keeps hitting me?!" nurse: you can have these back _after_ you've been discharged. Giriko: "Dick!" Giriko: "Kirika! Stop that nurse!" kirika: well that sucks... kirika: i'd love too, but alas, i have to go to school. i know, its a travesty. -later- justin: *reading still...* Giriko: (grumbles) "Hey, Priest--I got to take a leak. Empty my bedpan." -after that- Giriko: "Ahh...What a relief..." justin:............ Giriko: "What the heck you reading anyway, Priest?" -it appears to be great expectations- Giriko: "Who's the author?" (read the author...then starts giggling) justin: ....... Giriko: " 'Dickens'...So, what's the book about?" justin:............ Giriko: "...That good a book, huh?" (lies back in bed) "Maybe you should try some audio books instead of loud music all the time." justin:...... Giriko: "Hmph..." ("Come conversationalist..." *yawns* Starts to fall asleep) -you seem to be in a foggy area.- Giriko: (smacks his mouth a bit...) "Huh...How did I wake up here?" (then he realizes something) "Hey...This is familiar..." -a figure is standing in the distance- Giriko: "...Hey?! Where the fuck am I?" (marches up to the figure) spider witch?: ............... Giriko: (eyes widen) "No way..." spider witch?: ........... *she looks at you, sadly* Giriko: "Arachne? How are you here?" (moves towards her, then gets down on a knee) "I..." arachne?:....... *lightly extends a hand* Giriko: (takes it) "I don't know how you are here...I thought you had died..." (looks up at her) arachne?: ............. *she leans in closer* Giriko: (stands up a bit, looking at her face...It seems...off...) "...You do something with your face?" arachne?: *she leans in to kiss him* Giriko: (gulps, closes his eyes, leans in...) -before your lips touch, you wake up- Giriko: "Ah!" (sits up--and screams, clutches his chest) "Ah!" justin: ?? are you alright? Giriko: "...Oh, now you hear me?!" (grumbles) "Fine. Just a bad dream." justin: would you like to talk about it? Giriko: "...I saw Arachne." justin: oh. *he nods* Giriko: "Yeah..." (lies back down) "Just a stupid dream." justin: ............... you laid her to rest, did you not? Giriko: "Yeah...She's dead. Not coming back." (turns his head away) Giriko: "...Just dead." justin:.... would you like to see her? Giriko: "..." (nods) "Soon as I get out of here..." justin: ok. Giriko: "...I'll get some sleep...Um, unless there was something else to talk about..." justin: *he smiles* get some rest for now. Giriko: (blushing a bit) "Yeah, thanks..." (closes his eyes, nods off) -later- Patty: (staring at Liz) liz: hmm? Patty: (clutches Liz's chin) liz: what? Patty: "So...how was last night? You look like you are glowing..." liz: it went really well. Patty: (nods) "That's good...Wes still a hottie?" liz: as you put it, yeah. Patty: (smiles) "You gonna see him again before he flies off?" Patty: ("I knew the makeover would help Big Sis...") liz: probably. Patty: :3 "Should I wait up for you?" liz: ?? Patty: "Will you be out late with Wes? Like until, say, the next morning?" liz: *bluush* patti! Patty: "Ha ha ha! Just teasing you!" (serious) "But if he hurts you, I'm gonna put him in the hospital." liz: *sweatdrop* Patty: (kisses Liz's cheek) "So, what's on the agenda today?" liz: *shrugs* not sure yet. i might check in on kid. Kid: (pops up behind Liz) "You called?" liz: ah! you ok? Kid: (frowns) "Yes. But you seem rather jumpy...especially when we are a week away from a mission." liz: yeah... Kid: (looking down) "Arcadia..." (shakes a little) liz:.....? Kid: "...I am worried for Stocking." liz: i know... Kid: "...Sigh...Well, today, we are focusing on weapons training. This mission to Arcadia will be peaceful, but we have no idea what threats await us, so I want us to be prepared." liz: alright then. Kid: "So, you haven't arranged a date for tonight?" liz: i might visit him at his place. Patty: (eyebrow wiggle) Kid: (smirk) liz: you goddamn horndogs! Kid and Patty: (giggling) liz: *rolls eyes* Kid: "Okay...Patty, bring your sister along to the training room: we'll be working here in the Mansion today. Then you'll need to get Liz ready for her date." liz: right then. Patty: " 'Kay!" --In the training room-- Kid: (focusing on his breath...) "Okay...I'm close to resonating with you both...Please transform..." liz: alright. *she changes into gun form* Patty: "Ready!" (changes into gun form as well) Kid: (armed with both Thompsons, but still breathing...) "Focus, Liz...Patty, focus..." liz: *breaths. focusing* Patty: (matches their breath) Kid: "...Computer...begin." Kid: (keeps his eyes closed--as slots in the walls open, throwing eight bladed circles directly at Kid simultaneously) -BANG BANG- Kid: (still with eyes closed, but drawing upon what Liz and Patty senses, dodges the blades and fires, either shattering the blades or letting those blades knock against each other, destroying themselves) -4 maid mannequins appear and begin attacking- Kid: (fires at the mannequins while dodging their attacks, still with eyes closed) -the opponents are defeated- Kid: (sighs, opens his eyes) "Hmmm...Still three seconds too slow..." liz: that was pretty good kid! Patty: "Yeah! You blew up those mannequins real good!" (resumes human form, picks up a mannequin's head and plays with it like a puppet) " 'Help me! I can't get a-head!'" liz: ugh.... *she changes back as well* Kid: (chuckles at Patty, messing up her hair) "Okay. Two more rounds, then we'll call it a day. Go rehydrate first." liz: alright. -after training- Kid: (panting) "Woo! Okay...That was a lot better. G-Good work, Liz, Patty." liz: careful you dont pass out there Kid: (laughs) "I won't..." (stretches) "Let's stop here. I'm going to shower." liz: *she nods* -some time later- Patty: (studying Liz) "You all ready?" liz: yeah. i'm going to be bringing soul as well. Patty: (quiet) "Oh..." (hugs Liz) "You are a good person." liz: *she smiles* -later- -knock knock knock- Wes: (looks through peephole--and smiles. "Well, that's a pleasant surprise..." Opens the door.) "Hello." soul: *grumbles* liz: hey wes. Wes: "Hi, Liz...Hey, Soul..." soul:.............. liz: mind if we come in? Wes: "No! Come in!" (nervous laugh..."I'll just have to make sure they don't go into the bedroom...") soul: *turns on the TV* liz: nice place you got here. Wes: (smiles at Liz) "Thanks! I wanted a place where I could practice without bothering other guests...Plenty of room, privacy..." (looks at Soul) "And...they were kind enough to give me a room with a, um..." (he points to where there is a piano in the living room) soul:.......... *turns up the TV volume+slumps* Wes: (frowns sadly, sighs, slumps back against the couch as well...They look like twins) liz: *she chuckles* soul: what? Wes: "???" soul:............. Wes: (looks over at Soul...then realizes. Smiles) "We really are a pair..." soul: *huffs* Wes: "...How have you been, Soul?" soul: ...................... Wes: "...I...heard that you were a great Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet." soul:...yeah..... Wes: "...You always have been great on stage." (looks at Liz) "You should've seen him in an elementary school production of 'The Princess and the Pea.'" soul: o/////o *covers his face in a pillow and screams* Wes: (smiles at Soul) "Come on--is it any less embarrassing then when I played Peter Pan in the third grade?" liz: *snickers* soul: ............... Wes: (smiles at Soul) "Remember when my tights ripped?" (laughs) "I was suspended in the air with my butt in the air?" soul: ......................... Wes: (pokes Soul's shoulder) "I remember how much you were laughing afterwards...You didn't let me forget for a month." soul: *grumbles* Wes: (smirks) "Right?" (tickles his arm) soul: whatever.... Wes: (frowns) "..." (leans against the couch again, just watching TV silently...glances at Liz) liz: *sigh* want any pizza? Wes: (smiles) "Sure. You want to try room service?" soul: .......... liz: sounds good! Wes: "Soul? Is pizza good?" soul:...... *shrugs* eh.... liz: i'll take that as a yes. -later- soul............ Wes: "What did you think of the pizza, Soul?" soul: ........not bad. Wes: (smiles) "Liz?" liz: this is really good! Wes: (smiles wider) "Great." (blushes a bit, clears his throat) "S-Soul? This is a pretty awesome hotel. They have, um, a pool...if you wanted to go there. I mean, after our food goes down." soul: im good..... Wes: "Well, we could walk around there...or check out the balcony. I heard it has the second-best view of Death City..." liz: and the best? Wes: "I heard it's the Academy itself...since it is so tall, pretty much in the center of town..." liz: ah. Wes: "...So...back to watching TV? We could order a movie, get some popcorn..." liz: sounds good. soul: ............... Wes: "How about you pick the movie, Soul?" soul: ............ *shrugs* i dont care, get f*cking bambi for all i care. Wes: "..." -they got bambi- soul:.......................................... Wes: "..." (glancing at Liz) liz: ^^; Wes: "...I used to cry when Bambi's mom got shot..." soul:............. *he curls up* liz:.......... *she holds wes' hand* Wes: (holds Liz's hand, puts an arm around Soul) soul: *grumbling* Wes: (sniffs a little, patting Soul's back) soul:........... *silent, slumps over, not saying anything* Wes: (still holding Liz's hand) "..." -bang- soul: *he flinches* Wes: *he flinches* liz: *wince* Wes: "..." (sniffs loudly, then sobs) liz: Q~Q soul:............ *he gets up and locks himself in the bathroom* Wes: (hands over his face, crying) -after the movie- Wes: (passes around the tissues) liz: soul? you ok in there? soul: i'm fine liz! Wes: (knocks on the door) "Soul? We're here whenever you want to come out..." soul: i said im _fine!_ Wes: (backs away, looks at Liz) "Maybe Bambi was a bad choice..." liz: soul........... soul: ................... liz: if this is about what arthur said the other day- soul: I'M FINE! Wes: "???" Wes: (whispers) "Arthur?" liz: some weird kid with a knight complex at our school... -she explains what happened- Wes: "...God, I'm an idiot." liz: you're not an idiot wes... *she hugs him* Wes: "I-I know so little about what he has gone through..." (shakes his head) "I can't be around him all the time...It makes me think..." (sigh) "Maybe I should stop." liz: wes..... *she rubs his back.* Wes: "Maybe...I should stop touring...and stay." liz: ......... soul: havent i burdened you enough? Wes: o_o (realizing he is hugging Liz, lets go slowly to see Soul) " 'Burden'? No..." soul: oh no, dont let _my_ problems get in the way of your _rich and fabulous_ lifestyle! Wes: (frowns) "Soul, I-I have a career. You have a life here. And I'm sorry that--that I haven't been in your life. I want to be. I thought things were fine...but obviously they aren't. And no career is worth...is worth losing family." (balls his hands into fists) "I want to move to Death City." liz: but... what about your show in london? Wes: (smiles) "I guess that's my finale for a bit: wrap that up, move here." liz: for now, i guess that will work. soul: tch-, you probably already ratted me out to your parents. Wes: (solemn, shakes his head) "I haven't said anything to _our_ parents...I leave that to you." soul: maybe when i die, thanks. Wes: (smirks) "Maybe..." (serious) "Is it okay if I moved here?" liz: i think so. Wes: "Soul? Is it okay with you?" soul:...........(thinking: as if those assholes even care that im gone....) Wes: "Soul? I want to be here for you...I think I should be here, physically. We don't...I mean, I wouldn't be moving in with you or anything...unless you wanted. D-Do you want me _not_ to move to Death City?" soul: ............................................ liz: maybe just to keep an eye on him. Wes: ^_^; "I...suppose that's one way of putting it...Soul? Can I move here to Death City?" soul: what do i care?..not like _my_ opinion matters............ Wes: (hugs Soul) "Thanks, Little Bro! I promise I won't be a nuisance! I'll give you your space--" (picks up Soul by his armpits) "But now we can hang out together more often!" soul:............................... joooooy..... -_-; Wes: (sets Soul down) "Let's celebrate! How about wine?" soul: i cant drink! Wes: (bemused) "You can in France..." soul: this isnt france. Wes: (smiles) "Okay...No wine--water, then. Liz? Can I get you some water?" liz: sure Wes: (smiles as he goes to the kitchen to get bottles of water) -later- Wes: "G-Good night, Soul..." --INITIATE: Awkward sibling hug-- soul:.......... *mumbling* Wes: (blushing at Liz) "L-Liz..." liz: see you around. *she smiles* Wes: (nods, smiles) "S-See you..." (slowly shuts the door) -at gallows manor- Patty: (pacing the floor) Patty: "ELLEN!" ellen: ?? Patty: "HAS BIG SIS GOTTEN HOME SAFELY YET?!" -knock knock- liz: im ba- Patty: *glomp* *CRASH!* liz: ack! Patty: "Sis! You're back!" (rubbing her cheek against hers) liz: yes...yes i am.... *squish squish* uhhhh.... Patty: "...What? I'm clingy." -later- Patty: (grumbling) liz: what have we learned? Patty: (mumbles) "Don't grope your sister..." liz: good. Patty: "...You're just angry because Wes hasn't squeezed them yet." liz: O///////////////////////O Patty: "...Or did he?" liz: THAT DIDNT HAPPEN!! Patty: "Well, we can't have that!" (pulls out Liz's cell phone) liz: PATTI WA- Patty: *SEND!* liz: patti what did you do?! Patty: "Hee hee hee..." --At Wes's hotel-- Wes: o_o [text from liz cell: PLEASE IGNORE WHATEVER PATTI JUST SENT YOU!] Wes: [text] ha ha--i figured. don't worry: i already forgot whatever she sent Wes: o_o; "Oh, I'm not forgetting that image any time soon..." [text from liz cell: oh thank god ^^; ] Wes: [well, i'm glad you got home safely. get some sleep. see you before i fly to london?] [text from liz cell: sure. coffee at deathbucks? *coffee emoji*] Wes: [sure! 11 am?] [text from liz cell: sounds good. :) ] Wes: [great! see you then! night!] -the next morning- Wes: "Liz! Hey!" liz: hey wes. *waves* Wes: (approaches) "How are you?" liz: doing good, you? Wes: (nods) "Okay. A little nervous--about the move." liz: have you found a place to stay? Wes: (smiles) "Surprisingly, yes! Last night, my management team made a list, I checked them out super-early this morning, and I signed today!" liz: thats wonderful! where are you staying at? Wes: "It's a historic building here in Death City, about the size of a mansion. Pretty cheap, too." (laughs) "It's funny--one reason I was able to get the place so quickly and for so little money is because people think it is haunted!" liz: O_______O Wes: (still laughing, then slowly stops) "Liz? You okay?" liz: im alright... Wes: "...Okay." *clears throat* "Um, so...Oh! Looks like the cashier is about ready for us. What would you like to drink and eat?" liz: sure. -elsewhere- Yumi: "..." lord death: how are you feeling? *pats her back* Yumi: "...I am going to be glad when this pregnancy is over..." (eyeglasses shine) "Morning sickness is awful." lord death: there, there, sweetie. Yumi: (groans) "Death? Please get me some ginger ale..." lord death: right away, lovey~ -elsewhere- Anya: (drops the scoops of ice cream into the bowls for Tsugumi, Meme, Ao, and Mio) "And which toppings?" mio: i cant have nuts so... ao: matcha if you have any. tsugumi: whipped cream and a strawberry! Meme: "Chocolate and a cherry, please!" --Anya completes the toppings-- Anya: "Well, dig in! Meme and Mio, go slowly, or you'll get headaches again." Meme: (frowns) "It was one time..." mio: *numnum*..... not bad. Anya: (takes a spoonful) "Hmm...Tsugumi, how has your day been?" tsugumi: pretty well. saorin sent me a post card from okinawa. Anya: "Oh..." (frowns) "How kind of her." -at the hospital- Giriko: (stretching) "Ah, that feels better." justin: how are you? Giriko: (smirking) "Long and loose and full of juice! I'm ready to get out of here and cause some havoc!" justin: *spray bottles* easy there. you just got out of the hospital..... besides, didnt you want to visit her? Giriko: (shrieking like a cat as he tries to avoid the water...then serious) "Y-Yeah...I do." justin: where did you say she was? Giriko: "...I buried her near where she was...killed." justin: near baba yaga's castle....correct? *his tone is somber* Giriko: "Yeah...Just need to pack some things, first." justin: very well. -after picking up his stuff at the raven's talon inn- Giriko: "Ready!" (he is carrying a sloppy knapsack, while munching on a bad of chips) -one plane trip later, justin takes the dune buggy to the outskirts of the ruins of baba yaga's castle- justin:................. Giriko: "...Motherfucker..." justin:..... that poor girl.....taken before her time......i can only pray that she has found peace in the afterlife... Giriko: (leans to the marker he left...) "When I was growing up in Loew, I learned stonework..." (puts his hand along the grave marker he carved from the ruins, with an intricate spider design at its top) "I still suck at it." justin: i think it's quite nice.... -he examines a plaque- ['Here lies the beautiful Arachne Gorgon, the one woman i ever truly loved. May her soul rest in peace.'] ........ Giriko: (blushing...) "Could you give me a minute?" justin: take as much time as you need. Giriko: (waits until Justin leaves, looks at the tombstone) "Hey...How you doing?" -silence- Giriko: "...Yeah, I figured." (opens from his knapsack, pulling out a bottle of wine) "It ain't blood, but it's the best I could find..." (pops it, removes two glasses, pours some into both, holds one up to her) "To you." -no reply- Giriko: (sips slowly from his glass, sets his down, then takes hers) "And for you..." (pours some wine onto her grave) -nothing...- Giriko: (finishes pouring, then sets the glass to the side of her grave...He leans against one edge of the tombstone) "I'm...okay. Death City isn't as shitty as I thought. Needs more hookers, though." justin:.................. Giriko: "But...not everyone in that city is an asshole." (laughs a little) "I think you'd be impressed with me. I'm mentoring people. Me, a mentor? It's fucked up, right?" justin: *he smiles a bit* Giriko: "They're pretty chill kids. You'd like Kirika--mean, dark streak in her." (sips on his wine) "That Gopher kid is a little bitch. But...he's oddly defensive. Who knows--if I got him away from that Eibon guy, I could maybe make him more of a kickass dude." -silence- Giriko: "...Is this what you wanted for me? To be Death's whipping boy?" (puts a hand along her grave) "I...still have a shit ton of bloodlust. I want to kill...but maybe I'm just getting old and mellow...I don't know. But I know that without you, something is missing..." justin: ............. Giriko: "...I miss you, Arachne...I miss your face, your smile, your voice, those large tits of yours..." justin: .......... ^-^; Giriko: "I miss all of you, Arachne..." (kisses her tombstone) "I love you. I always will." (leaves the bottle and glasses, packs up his other materials, walks away) justin: are you...alright? Giriko: "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be? I got...closure..." (cries a bit) "Yeah..." justin:....... *hugs* its alright. Giriko: o_o "Ooooooooh...kay. We're hugging." (blushing) "Um...If you, like, don't let go of me, I'm going to totally cut you to ribbons....Seriously." justin: *he lets go* if you ever need anything, dont be afraid to ask. ok? Giriko: (grunts, clenches his teeth) "Fine...Can we get going?" justin: of course. Giriko: "Cool." (slings his knapsack into Justin's vehicle) -elsewhere- Kid: "I almost done packing...Just a few more days..." stocking: yeah... Kid: "...Stocking...This is a good thing..." stocking: *she nods* i know but....i'm scared... of what i'm going to find there.... Kid: "...Answers?" stocking:.... kid..... you know what i am....right? Kid: "...Stocking Pheles. The child of an angel and a demon. The woman I love. A beautiful soul who...is one of the most loyal people I know." stocking: right... born from the blood of heaven and hell.... thats something that.... is rather frowned upon by other angels, from what i know. as the books may tell you, angels and demons dont really like each other.... like... at all... Kid: "And you think that once you enter, these angels will know your demon identity...and despise you." stocking: i just know it.... Kid: "..." (holds her hand) "I already asked the DWMA to assign additional security." stocking:..... Kid: "...It won't come to that. But better safe than sorry..." (holds her hand) "No matter what, I will always love you." stocking:.... *she hugs him* Kid: (pats her back, silently holds her) -soon- Patty: (shoves more items into her backpack) "Come on...FIT IN THERE!" liz: you ok? Patty: "Well, if we are going to Arcadia, I want to be ready for the trip." (points to the backpack--which is full of toys and angel food snack-cakes) "And I can't fit it all into my backpack!" -later- Kid: "All packed, Liz?" liz: yep. so where is the airship? Kid: "It's at the Flight Weapons Practice Center--parked there for the sake of having space..." ((That spot where Kim and Maka were practicing flying in the manga)) stocking:..... Kid: (looks to Stocking) "Ready?" stocking: y-yeah.... Kid: "...Stocking? Should...I mean, when we get there, would you rather stay in the Airship until...I talk with the residents first?" stocking:.... i have to face this eventually so.... Kid: (nods) "Okay...Well...Let's get to the Practice Center, then..." -they board the airship- Patty: (straps herself into her seat) -soon, the airship takes off- Black Star: (covering his mouth) "Not again..." -after a few hours, the glowstone at the front begins flashing- Kid: "...We're approaching...To think, we are coming to Arcadia." tsubaki: so it really exists... Patty: "Oooooh...I wonder how it stays in the sky...Maybe they tie seagulls to threads and fly that place around..." stocking: according to eibon's notes, it remains levitated from the blessing of the ancient grigori. Kid: "A blessing?" stocking: its believed the arcadian angels are decended from the ancient grigori, the attendants and warriors of a being called 'freya'. Kid: "This Freya...Are they on Arcadia?" stocking: i doubt it. freya and the grigori exist on another plane of existance. Kid: (nods) "I wonder what Arcadia knows about the DWMA..." stocking: *shrugs* Kid: "..." (holds her hand) "Let's approach, carefully." -a grandeur city in the sky is seen.- Black Star: (pale...but looks impressed) "Wow..." stocking: ............ tsubaki: its beautiful. Patty: "Like a shiny piece of jewelry hanging up in the sky..." (snaps a pic with her phone) soul: to think this is actually a real place... Kid: "..." (rests a hand on Stocking's shoulder) stocking:....i'm ready... Kid: (nods) "Let's message the city...We don't want them to think we are a threat approaching--" -arcadian guards surround the airship- stocking: too late. Kid: "...Well, that's bad." (to the Guards) "We are from the DWMA. We are here to meet with the Sky Sage to help us contain the Book of Enoch." guard: sky sage? that's a laugh! the sage has been long since dead, and her harp is kept safe. as if we'd allow some outsiders to have their hands on it! head of guard: however, there is something aboard your ship. something that should not exist. hand over the half-blood and we wont have to execute you. stocking: !!!! Kid: "Hmm...Interesting proposal. Here's mine: no, Stocking Pheles stays with us, you permit us the use of this Harp, and you agree to help us contain the Book of Enoch." (smirks) "I am a Shinigami. My friends are the best of the DWMA. No one is going to die today. But I cannot promise you and your peers will not suffer injuries. Now, how about we sit down and talk?" guard:.... commander Lethair, what say you? ???: wait. we shall grant them audience. Lethair: !! your grace? Kid: "???" (whispers to Stocking, blushing) "I-I didn't think I was _that_ persuasive..." stocking: *shrugs* ???? 2: queen Teila, you could not possibl- Teila: we will hear them out. however, before you do so, you must face a trial of strength. stocking:....very well. Kid: "What kind of trial?" Teila: a trial by combat of course~ -Arcadian court field- Kid: "What do you know about Arcadian combat trials?" judge: in the solar corner, step forths the heavenly prosecution; lady Veldt Azmaria. stocking: not a fucking thing. Veldt: thank you. judge: in the lunar corner, our intruders, as well as the half blood scourge. Kid: "Her name is Stocking Pheles, you erroneous bigot!" (to Stocking) "Will this be one-on-one battle? Or are you allowed a partner?" Veldt: for my champion, i choose the head of the arcadian guard, Lethair Castel. judge: and your champion, outsiders? Kid: (looks to Stocking) "I think I should fight...What should I expect from an Arcadian guard?" Lethair: *she removes her neckbow, which changes into a scythe* stocking: that... Kid: "...Very well. I will arm myself with my demon weapon partners, the twin pistols Liz and Patty Thompson." -so the battle begins- Kid: (aims Liz and Patty) "Non-fatal shots to start--we don't know how much power we will have to use on her." liz: got it. Patty: " 'Kay!" Kid: (proceeds to fire shots at Lethair) -Lethair dodges a few and slices some with the scythe, charging at kid- Kid: (tries to dodge, shoving Patty towards Lethair in an attempt to blast directly into her torso) lethair: !!!! Kid: "Fire..." *Blast blast blast into Lethair* lethair: !!! *she evaporates into an egg* guard: COMMANDER! guard 2: GET HER TO A HEATER! Veldt: *JAW DROP* stocking: owned. Kid: o_O "I didn't think that would happen!" (stares at Patty) "I said low-powered shots!" Patty: "I-I-I did do low-powered shots! Did we kill her?!" stocking: angels dont die...they apparently turn into eggs....??? what the fuck?! Veldt: you dont even know our defense mechanisms, typical for a half-blood. stocking: up yours. Kid: "...At least I kept my promise that no one will die..." (glares at Patty) Patty: (reverts to human form, sticks out her tongue) "Just firing your soul wavelength, you jerk!" liz: easy now. --Liz has to stand between Kid and Patty-- judge: the first round is won by the outsiders. Kid: (still glaring at Patty, but speaking to Veldt) "We have won this battle. We desire to begin negotiations with you to contain the Book of Enoch. Will you help us?" Veldt: after two more rounds... if you survive. -the next champion was Ribona Atra- Ribona: my weapon, Helvetica, grant me your strength! *it was a hairband that became a spear* Kid: (groans) "Still fighting?" (sighs) "Let's make this quick..." Patty: "No! Why should I fight when you were mean to me?!" Kid: "What?! Patty, transform, before this opponent attacks us!" Patty: (crosses her arms, pouts) "Nope!" tsubaki: we'll handle this, right black*star? Black Star: (smirks) "Oh, yeah! I kick to fight an angel!" Ribona: ahuhuhu~ dont take me lightly now~<3 Black Star: "??? Um...Tsubaki, transform!" tsubaki: right! *chain scythe mode* Black Star: "Let's go!" (he dashes towards Ribona, waiting to swing the chain scythe at Ribona to ensnare her) -the battle continues until...- Black Star: (coughs up blood) "Damn it..." (laughs a little) "One sharp spear you got..." Ribona: auhuhu~ Helvetica is the strongest there is~<3 Black Star: "...Oh, you think so, huh?" (gets back up...) "We'll see...Tsubaki! Smoke Bomb!" -smoke bomb!- Ribona: eh? Black Star: --blasts through the smoke, his fist coming to Ribona's face-- -PAWNCH- Ribona: ahh! -the blade slices through her outfit, exposing her breasts and panties- Ribona: NOOOOOO~<3! Black Star: "Ha ha ha! I win! I pass through the smoke, silent but deadly!" tsubaki: *sweatdrop* Black Star: "That you best Arcadia people got?! Bring on the next challenger!" Kid: (frowns) "I could've defeated her..." judge: and now for the final trial! Veldt: i shall take the stand and face you myself! stocking: as will i. Kid: "Are you sure?" stocking: *she nods* veldt: *brandishing a riding crop* i look forward to defeating you and eliminating you, half blood. stocking: heh. go shove it up your ass. Kid: "Be safe..." angel: WOOT! stocking: i will. Kid: (holding his hands, watching, worrying) stocking: *she attacks with her blades* -the battle goes on until stocking gets knocked into a wall, wounding her- stocking: *cough* uhh.... Kid: "Stocking!" Black Star: "Get up, girl!" Veldt: now that she's down.... GUARDS! EXECUTE HER AT ONCE! stocking: !!! Kid: (clenching his teeth) "Never!" guards: *begin to approach her, weapons drawn* Kid: "Liz! Patty!" liz: ?? right. Patty: "Yeah!" (transforms into Kid's hand) stocking: *struggling to get up* Kid: (charging his soul wavelength as he rushes to the floor, sliding in between Stocking and the guards...) "Death...Cannon..." Veldt: ?? *she jumps back onto the platform* soul: what the hell are you doing?! --The Death Cannon blast causes a large explosion, knocking back guards-- Kid: (teeth clenched) "Not enough...Patty! Liz! Again! Fire!" -several eggs and wounded guards are left- Kid: (glares at Veldt...and aims...) Veldt: !!!!! stocking: kii...iid.... Kid: (eyes widen, turns) "Stocking!" (leans down) Kid: "Oh, God..." stocking: dont worry...i-i'll be fine....heh...hehe.... ow... Kid: (helps her up) "Lean on me..." stocking: *she does so, stumbling a bit* Kid: (glares at Veldt) "This is what you do to one of your own?" Veldt: she is not one of us. Kid: "Yes, she is. And she is one of us as well..." veldt: she is the spawn of a demon king and that traitor, Felisia! Kid: "Felisia?" veldt: once a member of the royal guard, she betrayed her people by having the child of a demon. she was cast out as punishment, but stole the holy garments she was armed with, with her. Kid: "What was she to do: have herself and her child executed, deprived of life simply because you say so? Life is not something to steal--not when it cannot be returned!" stocking: y-you know what? i'm glad she was exiled. that way i didnt have to grow up surrounded by insufferable, racist, ASSHATS! veldt: !!!!!!!! *yellow diamond pissed face* Kid: "..." (chuckles) " 'Asshats.'" stocking: and one more thing..... *inhales* -she then spews out the biggest swear storm she's made to that point* Teila:................*snickering* Kid: o_o ("Oh my God...That was so hot...") Patty: "Sis, what's a $@#%@$^?" liz: i'll tell you when you're older. Veldt: *JAWDROP* how....how DARE YOU! soul: dude.... your girlfriend is nuts. Kid: "I know..." (sighs, smiles stupidly) "Isn't she great?" soul: suuure... Kid: "*Ahem* We have satisfied your terms of combat. You have seen that we pose a threat to you. I think you would agree that we are much better as your allies than you enemies. Help us." Teila: i see you have trained well. and to be quite frank, i havent had a good laugh like that in a while. so please, do follow me. Veldt: your grace you cant- teila: *smiles+scary aura* oh i apologize, did i fucking stutter? Veldt: !!!!! teila:....thought so~ Kid: o_O liz: i think i might like this queen. -Teila's chamber- -some tea and cakes are given- teila: so now that you know a bit of your mother, what else did you need? Kid: (looks to Stocking) "...Is there more you would like to learn?" stocking: i think i know a good amount.... *eating cake* this cake is delicious~! Kid: (smiles) Kid: "Yes...It is..." (eats some) teila: you mentioned something about the sage's harp? Black Star and Patty: (finish their slices) "More, please!" Kid: (frowning at Black Star and Patty) "Yes...We have been seeking the Sky Sage, to help us contain the Book of Enoch. We would require the Harp." teila: i can give you the harp. but the sage is long gone.... perhaps....the instrument will awaken when it find the new sage..... Kid: "...Would you be willing to let us have the harp, until we can locate this Sage?" teila: it will awaken if you bring it to them, so do take it. Kid: (bows) "We are honored for this gift." teila: you are free to come back whenever you need, even if my guards say otherwise. lethair: *glaaaare* ribona: *covering chest+glaaaaare* veldt: *glaaaaaaaaare* Kid: (smiles at Stocking) stocking: *she smiles* Kid: "Thank you." (bows to Teila) -and so- Kid: "We need to get you medical attention..." stocking: i can heal kid, i'll be fine Kid: "..." (holds her hand) "I am sorry..." stocking: its fine kid. i'm here, we have the harp, and i got some answers... Kid: "And you were almost killed." stocking: kid...... Kid: (hugs her) stocking:........... Kid: "If anything had happened to you...Stocking, I can't lose you." stocking:............ *she hugs him* Kid: "Stocking...Are you...I mean, with learning about your mother..." stocking:...i-i'm ok.... Kid: "..." (holds her hand) -they arrived back- eibon: i take it things went well? Kid: (nods) "We have the harp." Patty: (holding the harp--and plays its strings) gopher: wow... -when he approches, it glows- gopher: ??? uhhh... Kid: "...Seriously?" -it cuts out- gopher: aww... D: Kid: "Eibon?" eibon: well, it reacted to a grigori soul.... however... it seems it was not your lucky day my child. Kid: "...Who else has a grigori soul? Could that be our Sky Sage?" soul: the only other person with a soul like that was......was her.... Kid: "..." (downcast eyes) Patty: (looking at the harp..."An angel's harp...") -later- Kid: "Let's go home and get some rest. We only have a few weeks of summer left, and I think we all could use some sleep." soul: ok. stocking: can i stay at your place tonight? Black Star: "See ya, Kid." (pats Soul on the back) Kid: (nods) "Of course." -the next morning- lord death: we're hooooome~! Kid: (smiles) "Father! Welcome home!" (looks to Yumi) "How was the honeymoon?" Yumi: -_- lord death: pretty well, though yumi did have morning sickness... *kisses her forehead* Yumi: (groans) "I cannot wait to deliver this child. They are kicking so much every day, my ankles are swollen, my back aches..." (shakes her head) "Sorry. I should not complain..." ("No one ever let me complain growing up...") -some of the maids have been working on moving yumi's things out of her apartment and into gallow's manor- Yumi: "Thank you, Ellen." lord death: there, there. why dont we look through these boxes then? Yumi: "Okay..." -there was a vibrator in one of the boxes- kirika: ew. Yumi: o\\\\o "Th-That's private!" maid: s-sorry! Patty: "Oh, hey! Sis has that same model!" liz: PATTI!!!!!! Kid: ("...I shouldn't mention that Stocking does, too...") Yumi: "CAN WE MOVE ON?!" Kid: "...Mother? Please calm down...Think of the baby..." Yumi: (squeezes Death's hand...hard) lord death: right. *whispers* when the baby is born, i think we can use it~ *wink* kirika: OH MY GOD! Yumi: o\\\\\\\\o (punches Death in the face) Yumi: "...Oh my God! I'm so sorry!" lord death: i sorta deserved that just now.... (thinking: she really packs a punch... thats kinda hot.) i forgive you~ -later- Kid: "Well, that's the last box, Mother." Yumi: (lying down on the couch in Death's lap, smiling) "Thank you, Kid." maid: we just have to work on getting your furniture out now.... Patty: "On it!" (lifts up an entire couch with one arm) "Where you want it?" -later, elsewhere- Crona: "Oh, h-hello, Iris..." iris: hmm? oh, did you need something? *she smiles* Crona: "I-I-I was...I mean, I felt...I..." (sighs) "I wanted to get a gift for Mami." iris: oh? well, i havent spoken with her often, so i'm not sure what she likes... i guess flowers maybe? Crona: (nods) "That would be nice...I'm not sure which kind...What do you get for someone who is...maybe...more than a friend?" iris:......... *blushes as the steam lifts her habit off her head by a few inches* e-ehhh?! Crona: (freaks out) "I-I-I-I just meant hypothetically! I mean, if you had someone who was more than a friend, what would you buy?!" (cowers) "Stop having steam explode up!" Ragnarok: (emerges) "Jeez, what a bunch of wimps." iris: *ahem* well... i-i'm not really a romance expert...m-maybe maki could help you? she's much better at this than i am! maki: ya? Crona: "AHHHH!" (hides behind Iris) maki: you ok? Ragnarok: "Ignore them--they're jumpy because they want to know what kind of flowers you should get someone you have the hots for! Any recommendations?" maki: oho~ well, roses are definitely a classic, or if you like, add the person's favorite flowers to the bouquet to make it extra special. Crona: "O-Oh...Okay...I'm not sure what Mami's favorite flowers are...I could find out..." Ragnarok: "Hee hee hee...Thanks, Maki! You aren't some scary ogre like everyone says!" maki: *glaaare* iris: ^^; Crona: "...Um...Iris! Let's get some flowers now! Before Ragnarok says anything else!" -later, elsewhere- Arthur: (checking himself in the mirror) shinra: if you keep checking, bloody mary is gonna come out and slap you. Arthur: "You didn't almost break your nose...Man. That scar is still on my forehead." shinra: dude, just put some make up on it or something. Arthur: "Hmm. Makeup is for girls." shinra: *glares* Arthur: "...No. Don't tell me you wear makeup." shinra: just to cover up blemishes! there's some guys at school that to it too! Arthur: "..." (laughing, slapping his knee) "This is too rich!" shinra:.... !!! *smiles* -that night, he was gonna have maki sneak in and give arthur a makeover- Arthur: "Zzzz..." maki: *smirks* -the next day at school- Arthur: "HAVEN'T I SUFFERED ENOUGH INDIGNITIES?!" shinra: i dont know, do you mr 'i forgot i'm righthanded'? Arthur: "Oh, why don't you walk in on Iris bathing again?!" Patty: (spots Arthur) "!!!" shinra: like you got thrown in jail for attacking lizards? tamaki: wow.....

You look much, MUCH hotter with that makeup!" gwen: so hot! morgan: *SQUEAL* Arthur: o\\\\o "R-Really?" (smiling) "You think?" kim: it looks weird. i can help you make it look better. i think you're more of a pastels kind of guy. Arthur: "Oh...Well, if you ladies insist.

(counting down on his fingers...Five, four, three...) Black Star: o_o "HEY!" stocking: *chuckles+laughs, snorting a bit* kirika: at least he's a strong baby, unlike you, kid! Kid: (smiling at Stocking, then glaring at Kirika) "I have bested Black Star in every duel we have had. Seeing as you could never defeat Black Star in a duel, Kirika, that makes you just a baby." kirika: get fucked. stocking: i think i can accomplish that~ Kid: o_O Kid: "Stocking?!" soul:............dude....... my statement still stands. stocking: *she kisses kid on the lips for a moment* i love you, kiddo~<3 Kid: "I-I-I love you, too..."

Speaking of cunning linguists, you are not one: your pronunciation of the runes is torturous." medusa: *glares* Noah: "We don't have time for you to learn a language--not conventionally. Fortunately for me, I have an unconventional way to get those language skills into that beautiful brain of yours." medusa: oh really? Noah: "Yes. I can implant the language directly into your mind." (stands before her) "Is that acceptable?" medusa: ..........i dont have a choice, do i you shit? Noah: "No." (cups his hand over her forehead and one along the back of her head) "There will be some discomfort. Are you ready?" medusa: *humph* very well. Noah: (smiles) "Good...Oh, and when I said 'some discomfort'--" medusa: ?? Noah: (smirks) "I meant 'pain.'" medusa: !!!!!!! *she screams out in pain* Noah: (smiles madly as the runes appear across her body, across her eyes, filling her brain with a new way of speaking, reading, thinking...Eventually, the runes fade away from her body, and the pain stops...) medusa: *she falls to her knees and coughs* ah....shit.... Noah: (leans down...picks her up, bridal style) "You must lie down...You'll need ice for your head, and a lot of sleep..." (looks serious) "Good work." medusa: *pouts* <up yours.> Noah: (lays her down on a bed) "I'll be back with ice. Don't go anywhere." medusa: *she stares up* ........................... (thinking: if he brings back ice, i'm going to be shocked...) Noah: (he returns--with ice) medusa:...................alright what the fuck? Noah: "We are on a schedule: the longer it takes you to recover, the slower our progress." (stares at her) "Do not mistake this for kindness: it is simply expediency." medusa: *she smiles* fuck you too, honey~ Noah: (smiles back) "I will...Later." (serious) "But seriously: that was impressive. No witch has ever survived that process, not to mention no human..." medusa: i could have died? how lovely. Noah: "I knew you could handle it. You are far too strong to die like that, Medusa Gorgon." medusa: *smirks* Noah: "...Well. I'll let you sleep. Unless there is something else you need." -elsewhere- Anya: "..." tsugumi: how do you feel?

Giriko: "..." (frowns...pulls her in for a hug) arachne:......... Giriko: "Arachne...You are here. That is all I can ask for. Just...don't leave me." arachne:..... *she hugs back* to be honest.... i missed you. Giriko: (strokes a hand along her hair) "I missed you so much..." arachne: *she strokes his face* i was afraid... you would hate me for abandoning you... Giriko: (holds her hand over his face) "I...think I understand. Arachne, just--just be in this moment with me. Please?" arachne: of course.... i have nowhere else to go.... Giriko: "...You have here...You have me..." (closes his eyes, and kisses her lips) arachne: *she kisses back, leaning down* Giriko: (guides her down onto the bed, supporting her lower back as he does, still kissing her) arachne: mmmm.... Giriko: (continues to kiss, unbuttoning the cloak's clasp at her neck) -yep, her body is practically the same as it was- Giriko: (slides the cloak off of her) "Nice body..." arachne: *she chuckles and pulls him close to her* Giriko: (kisses her neck) arachne: ahh.. Giriko: (strokes a hand along the dress's neckline...) arachne: *blush* Giriko: (pulls back) "S-Sorry." arachne: *she chuckles* since when did you get cold feet~? Giriko: "...A lot has changed..."

Mad!Kid: (smiles) "Crona..." pandora: since i was also melted into the blood.... when we escape, i will act as your blood. Mad!Kid: (frowns) "...There is no other way." pandora: so we have an agreement? Mad!Kid: "...Yes." pandora: and soon, you will have that girl back. Mad!Kid: (smiles, sliding a hand over his chest) "Good..." pandora: i can sense you have more lacerations from last time... Mad!Kid: "Is that a problem?" pandora: no, just curious is all.

(blinks) "Don't ask why I keep a photo of Kami in my desk drawer." nygus: memories of old times? Stein: "Something like that. And keeping tabs on people who left the Academy.

So, what do you want?") "What do I want? Man, I don't even know why I came to this school..." [didnt you want to become stronger to help people?] Hiro: (looks at his arm muscle) "Some strength. I'm at a school where I'm the weakest meister here. Even NOT students have killed witches. What have I ever done to help others?" -later- Kid: (adjusting a portrait in the Mansion) "I thought Wes's party was a lot of fun." liz: y-yeah... Kid: "...I am surprised he takes to ghosts so easily..." liz: .___. Kid: "...Liz? Are you going to be okay?' liz: i-i'll try my best. Kid: "...This may be good for you."

Wes: (smiles) "They grow on you..." (holds her hand) soul: ugh... Wes: (looks to Soul) "Soul, would you like a jam session with the ghosts? We could use a piano accompaniment." soul: i think i'll pass. Wes: (nudges him) "It could be fun." soul: i said i'll pass. Wes: "...Okay." (approaches the ticket booth) "Three, please, for 'Road Rage.'" clerk: alright. -after the movie- Wes: "Hmmm...The plot was kind of dull." liz: at least the special effects were decent.

Kid: (looks sadly at a photograph of Spirit and Kami) "..." -there are photographs of other students as well, including sid- Kid: (laughs at Sid's picture) "Look at bony he was." stocking: it's almost kind of adorable. -other pictures include zubaidah, who wore a sweater and long skirt, marie, joe, dengu, and others- Kid: (looking at the photograph of Joe) "I miss him..." stocking:...... even as a kid, mr dinga was really tall. Kid: (small laugh) "Yes...Father has been so good about photographing his...'family'." -there are other photos.- stocking: .... !!!!!!! Kid: (blushing) stocking: k-kid?! what is this?! -there is a picture of lord death, mephisto, a 12 year old stocking and kid, at a party. the young kid is sleeping- Kid: "I-I-I don't know!

[-excuse me.... did you want to play tea party?-] [???: !! no way! that doll is disgusting!] [-the girl runs away crying-] Kid: "...Stocking? Do you remember a boy at a party calling Honeneko 'disgusting'?" stocking: *thinks* a little bit.... i dont think i remember his face... Kid: "Did the boy have _three white lines_ in his hair?" stocking: *she looks at the date* ..... this... this was the first real party i attended and... i remember he wore a white shirt and brown shorts.

How would things have been different if I had accepted your tea party when we first met?" stocking: *she shrugs* maybe we would have been closer? who knows... but i'm happy with where things are now. Kid: (nods) "As am I...I am happy for this moment with you, right here, right now." stocking: mmm.... you know, its not too late for that tea party~ Kid: (smiles) "I would like that." -and so- Kid: "Would you like some more tea, ma'am?" stocking: why of course~ Kid: "Happily! And perhaps another slice of cake for my sweet?" stocking: yes please~ Kid: (slices cake and serves it to her on a plate) stocking: mmm~ Kid: (smiles) "I wish I had known that little girl back then...but I am happy to know now the woman that she has become." stocking: hehe~ Kid: (holds up teacup to her) "To the future." stocking: *she smiles* Kid: (sips) "Heh. Stocking? Do you think our children will enjoy tea parties?" (blushes) "I mean, if we were to have children?" stocking: i'm certain of it. Kid: (smiles, nods) "I'm happy to hear that..." (holds her hand) "You would--will--be an excellent mother." stocking: *she smiles* Kid: (moves to sit beside her, letting his head rest on her shoulder) stocking: hehe~ *she kisses his forehead* Kid: (purrs as he hugs her) stocking: hehe cutie~ Kid: (kisses her cheek) "Cuter cutie." stocking: hmmhmm~<3 Kid: "..."

"I wish I could lie here for hours with you..." stocking: me too... but alas, we have school. Kid: (pouts) "Darn..." (smirks) "Race you to the shower?" -at school- soul: so when do we start college? Patti: "The end of August. I CAN'T WAIT! I'm going to rush for a sorority!" liz: ........... Kid: "Patty, we have no sororities at the DWMA--and we won't, not so long as I live and breathe." tsubaki: do you think we'll have new teachers? Kid: "Well, there will be a substitute for Mother when she is on maternity leave. But she will be back to work soon after...I don't know who our other new teachers will be..." soul: i think there might be some older folks there... i heard one chick's grandma took the program because she learned she was a weapon earlier this year. Kid: "Yes, college attracts students from various ages and backgrounds, including advanced, younger students." Black Star: "Huh...So there will be, like, badass grandparents in our classes? Sweet!" Patty: "Heh heh heh...The old farts probably turn into, like, canes and adult diapers or something..." liz: we should do something special for this. Kid: "Well, we had the pool party. What were you thinking, Liz?" liz: maybe a roadtrip? Patty: "Oh! Let's go to Paris!" Kid: "...We are not driving through the ocean. Again." liz: i was thinking salt lake city. Black Star: "That could be fun. I always wanted to see a city made out of salt." tsubaki: *sweatdrop* Kid: "And who knows which stops there will be on the way between here and Salt Lake--" Patty: "VEGAS! LET'S GO TO VEGAS!" stocking: that sounds awesome! Kid: "...Las Vegas? Really?" soul: ....... Patty: "I'm going to play the slots and craps!" stocking: i wonder if i can get a bunnygirl costume? Kid: (coughs, blushes) liz: ............ soul: ....................... Patty: "...That's hot." tsubaki: oh.... Kid: "..." (collapses) -later- Kid: "I'm okay...I can handle classes...Just...focus...Which class am I in now?" liz: gym. Kid: "Oh...Well, I'll go change..." --After changing into gym attire-- Patty: "With summer weather, I guess we're not indoors...What are we doing today? Run laps?" -baseball- Kid: "Well, since I will obsess over any other position I take, I'll be the catcher." Patty: (chuckles) " 'Catcher.'" Black Star: "Who's on whose team?" -EAT VS NOT, with a few ALT on both teams- Patty: "Stocking, which position will you take? (On the field, not in bed, sweetie...)" stocking: i think i'll take up as batter. Patty: "I'll be pitcher!" Black Star: "Third baseman!" soul: 2nd base? Kid: "Tsubaki?" -after gym- Black Star: (ice on his groin) Anya: (smirking) tsugumi: stocking's pretty strong with that bat. Black Star: (higher pitch) "My balls aren't..." Kid: "Yes, Stocking is very powerful." -elsewhere- Kami: ("Damn it...No leads on Cathrine and her location...I need another strategy to get near her.") -there's a department store, cathrine decides to go inside it- Kami: (smiles. "Bingo..." Enters to see where Cathrine goes) cathrine: *she examines the perfumes and lingere sections* Kami: (nears the lingerie..."Well, here goes...") "Excuse me, miss?" cathrine: hmm? can i help you? Kami: "I saw you over at the perfume section and...Well, this is embarrassing but...I don't know what is fashionable anymore in perfume. I was wondering which ones you were looking at." cathrine: well there's a few new ones out. Hibana has a new perfume called 'Brilliant Blossoms' out. as well as some others. Kami: (smiles) "Oh, I love Hibana's scents! Is Brilliant any good?" cathrine: from what i can tell, it smells like lillies and oranges. Kami: (pouts) "Hmmm...Maybe that would be good...Oh, I'm so indecisive about these things...Tell me, miss: what scents do you like to wear?" cathrine: i'm more of a Moonlight Dream Company kinda girl myself~ Kami: (smiles) "Oh, those are so good. You try that scent they have, Cereus Jasmine?" cathrine: it smells nice. my personal would be Sea Salt Waves. Kami: "Hmmm...I'll try that out, then--thank you!" (shakes Cathrine's hand) cathrine: er, no problem. Kami: (waves, turns to look through lingerie) -later- Kami: (puts on sunglasses..."I had coated my hand with a new substance DWMA CIA had developed: once on a person, it doesn't come off for days, no matter how many times you wash. It's transparent, scentless, and with these sunglasses, it leaves an air trail that will lead me to wherever Cathrine is hiding...Just have to wait and see.") Kami: (holds shopping bag--"And I got some new underwear, too.") -a few days later, elsewhere- Spirit: (whistling) kim: hey mr a. *waves* Spirit: (finger pistols at Kim) "Hey, Kim! How's it goin'?" kim: erm, pretty good. how about you? Spirit: (giggling) "I'm great! And I have some biiiiiiig news." kim: oh? Spirit: (pulls out a box from his shirt, flipping it open to reveal a pricey necklace) "Bam! Bling!" kim: wow... that's fancy. Spirit: "And expensive, too! But only the best for my Cathrine! And that's not the only surprise I have..." kim: oh? (thinking: OH JESUS FUCK GOD NO!!!) Spirit: "I am going to ask Cathrine to move in with me!" kim: oh? thats....won-der-ful! Spirit: (smiles widely) "I know, right?!" (sighs happily) "She is so great: her laugh, her style, her--" (blushes) "Um, well..." (stern) "I better get back to work, and you had best get to class." kim: ok. sure thing sir. Spirit: (keeps walking, then shudders with glee) kim:...*she shudders too, but with disgust* Jacqueline: "Oh, Kim, there you are." kim: .............. Jacqueline: "You okay? You look ill." -kim explains everything that just happened- Jacqueline: "...Gross." kim: it could have been worse..... he could have told me he planned on marrying her! Jacqueline: "True. But if something doesn't happen soon, he could be on his way...Have you heard from Mrs. Albarn?" kim: just a quick text yesterday. Jacqueline: "No progress?" -kim then explains what kami told her about the new tracking substance- Jacqueline: "Hmm...I hope that leads her to wherever Cathrine is hiding. Because if she moves in with Spirit, then it will be harder to find her location." -some time passes- Kami: [texts Kim: hey narrowed down her location--to a five-block radius. not good enough] [TanuCutie: i think i may have a plan.

She goes there a lot from what i can tell. collect some of the hair if you can.] [WanderingWarrior: okay. she already knows my face so have to hope she treats this as coincidental] -maybe a second disguise?- Kami: "Hmm...I could change my hair and eyes again...but my nose and mouth would be the same...I guess I can try prosthetics." -or maybe a facial mask? like doctor's wear?- Kami: "...I guess this mask will have to do. Just hope she doesn't take it off my face. But just to be safe, I'll do some minor prosthetic work, different contacts..." --At Salon 23-- Kami: (with mask over face, waiting for Cathrine's arrival) -she arrived and just had a little bit trimmed and washed- Kami: (bows, disguising her voice, as she deposits some of Cathrine's hair into a plastic bag lined in her pocket) "Thank you for your visit." -later- Kami: [texting: "meet me at 51 stix road, apt 4B] [WanderingWarrior: i got the sample] -and so- kim: i brought the DNA tracker. Kami: (smiles) "Good work." (hands her the baggie of hair) "And I was thorough..." (hands separate baggies with some nail and skin samples) "What a thorough spa treatment..." kim: gross.... *she puts it into the analyzer* Kami: (waits for results) Kami: "How expensive was the DNA tracker?" kim: i have my methods~ Kami: (smirks) "I'm sure you do...So, how much longer does it take?" -ding- Kami: "Huh. What did it find?" -there is a pink dot going to an apartment in the more darker area of town- Kami: "Good work! Okay, we need evidence to confirm Cathrine is a witch and, if we are lucky, find out what she is trying to do. How should we proceed? Someone needs to stay behind in case this plan goes bad. Should we get the DWMA officially involved or go on our own?" kim: we should contact stein. Kami: (nods) "Give him a call." -and so- Stein: "Wish I could say I was surprised that you got Kami involved, Kim." kim: hehe~ Stein: "I'll get DWMA undercover officers and a SWAT team in the area. What's the address?" kim: 711 Arkham Street. Stein: "Understood. While those officers survey the area, I'll meet with you and Kami at your apartment. What is the address?" -later- Stein: "Kami...I like you better blonde." kim: 3.....2....1.... Kami: "Stein...I'd like you better in jail." kim: oooh shit! --Stein and Kami do that electric eye-contact glare at each other-- Kami: (slides the intelligence to Stein) "You show me yours..." nygus: alright, lets settle down now. Stein: (slides his intelligence to her...) "Hmm...Really, her perfume preferences are really relevant, Kami?" Kami: (reading his) "Really, Stein, you couldn't find her address with a magazine subscription? Gee, color me surprised." Sid: -_-; "Can you two act like adults, please? Kim, tell us what plan you had in mind." -later- cathrine: *having just got out of the shower* Kami: (in catsuit with a mask, looking through binoculars) "Got visual...She is out of the shower. Looks like she is heading out." Kami: "What's the next move, Nygus?" nygus: we send in the distraction. Kami: "Roger: send them in..." -knock knock- cathrine: hmm~? Stein: (listening to the audio on the "distraction" "They better not screw this up...") -she answers- cathrine: may i help you? Akane: (smiles) "Good evening, ma'am." cathrine: did you need something? Akane: "I'm sorry to bother you, but I live two floors below you, and I have been checking with neighbors on the other floors about the darndest thing..." Kami: (gestures to the infiltration team) cathrine: and what's that? Akane: "I keep getting power glitches in my apartment at the weirdest times. Sometimes I lose power for five minutes in the morning, then 20 minutes when I get home from work, then up to two hours at night!" (laughs) "It's the weirdest thing. Oh! And on weekends, it's worse--" Kami: (slides open the window...) cathrine: really now? i havent been having problems like that. Akane: "Seriously? Man, that is weird! It's such a predictable schedule! I talked to someone upstairs with the same problem but their schedule was different! It was seven minutes in the morning, 15 minutes after work, and up to 5 hours at night!" (slaps his knee) "Just weird, right! Oh, and weekends, I can barely get any work done! See, I still have to do paperwork all day Saturday--" Kami: (spots something under the couch... "Great hiding place, Cathrine...") cathrine: *faking a smile* (thinking: just get to the fucking point you idiot!) Kami: (reads through the files...and slips away one paper for Kim Diehl's real identity..."Typical...So, what, her plan is to reveal witches?" Then she find something else: a witches' array on the wall. "Just need to snap that pic, and we got her...") Akane: "See, I do computer coding for a Las Vegas company, and we are looking to expand here in Death City! Golly, this is really a wonderful city, isn't it? I tell you, my sister Naomi--wonderful girl, Naomi, but man, she is not a cook at all! Anyway, Naomi told me how just lovely Death City was! I didn't believe her because I thought, 'A city named after dying? That doesn't sound fun in the least!' But everyone here is just so nice--" Kami: (pulls out phone...silent pictures taken of the array..."Now...just have to send...") Stein: (phone vibrates...the array is received) "We got her. Nygus, we move in." cathrine: yeah... my boyfriend actually works under lord death himself. Akane: "Well don't that beat all!" (in his earpiece, Sid: "We got her, Akane: keep her talking...") "What's he do for him? He one of them demon weapons?" cathrine: oh yeah. he's just the sweetest guy. Akane: "Neat! Say, is he handy with electrical problems?" Stein: "Nygus, what's the first move?" cathrine: i'll have to ask. nygus: make sure all exits are secure. Stein: (calling to Sid and others) "Block the exits at street level, at the roof. Make sure snipers are positioned at all sides in case of a window escape. Akane, keep her blocked at the front door. Kami, keep her blocked inside. We begin at Nygus's word..." Akane: "But you're sure your electricity is fine? Maybe you could help me: come downstairs to check my place, and you'll see--no power at all!" cathrine: i'm indecent though! i just got done showering and- Akane: (takes her hand) "It'll only take a second, ma'am! It's real important, or else I won't get my work done!" cathrine: *she pulls back* nygus: now! Stein: "Nygus?" Akane: (pulls her back, holding his arm under her neck, a knife held to her throat) "Stand down, now. Or you are dead." cathrine: !!!?? --Akane's other arm is over her waist to hold-- Kami: (slides the file folder into her knapsack, as she hides to serve as backup for Akane) cathrine: what are you- Akane: "The DWMA has this building surrounded on all sides. All exits are blocked. You are under arrest for theft and under suspicion of being a rogue witch. Surrender now, or you will be executed." cathrine: but i'm innocent! i was framed! Akane: (listening to Stein's evidence in his earpiece) "Which is why you have documents hidden under your desk stolen from the DWMA, and a witch's array on your apartment's wall?" cathrine: please, you have to believe me... *see looks up with sad eyes, almost a bit alluring* Akane: (presses the blade to her neck) "Let's go..." (dragging her out of the room, as DWMA troops march down the hall and towards the room...) cathrine:.....*she smirks and drops the towel* oh no~! Akane: "...Nice try." (drags her out of the room...but troops stop dead in their tracks) cathrine: oh no~ dont look~<3 Akane: (frog-marching her) "I said that was not going to work..." (pushing her naked down the hall...but among the DWMA troops, their eyes are transfixed...and starting to glow pink...) cathrine: eek~! DWMA Troop: (clutches Akane by the shoulder) Akane: "?!" DWMA Troop (female): "Lady Cathrine said let go!" (slugs Akane in the face, causing him to lose his grip on the knife and on Cathrine) Kami: (hears the attack) "What the hell?" (running to the entrance to see what is happening) cathrine: sorry huns, but this lady needs to go now~ *she summons a broom and flies off Trooper: ugh... wha.... what just happened? Kami: "No, you don't!" (runs after Cathrine...and jumps out the window after her...) Akane: "Kami! Stop!" cathrine: *she winks, and a large heart projectile knocks her into the wall* Kami: (eyes widened--then she is slammed against the wall) *cough* (blood comes up, as she then falls face first) "Fuck..." Jacqueline: (watching from afar) "Kim!" (transforms into lantern form) kim: HEY BITCH! cathrine: *she growls and lands in a residential area, taking a young student hostage* Jacqueline: "Shit! Kim, what do we do?" student: *scared* w-wha?! Jacqueline: "Put down that student!" Stein: "Shit! We have snipers trained, but that student and Kim are too close! We can't get a shot!" cathrine: *she drags her to a security guard, who's microphone she's charmed out of him* the following is a message to all witch residents. reveal yourselves now or i'll hunt you all down myself~ Stein: "?!" Jacqueline: "Kim..." kim: .......... over my dead body you whore! cathrine: well, looks like little kimmy decided to come play some more. Jacqueline: "Kim, be careful...What is she planning?" Sid: (arrives with some troops) "Cathrine! Release the hostage now! If you want someone, I offer a DWMA officer in substitution!" cathrine: how cute. you want to save a witch? student: w-what Sid: "???" cathrine: *she smirks* ever heard of something called 'witch killer'? Sid: (aims weapon at Cathrine) "You release that student, now!" cathrine: you'd kill someone with knowledge on all the witches? even the unfound rouges~? Sid: "You have a funny way to negotiate...You have intelligence? Fine. Surrender yourself to DWMA custody, and no harm will come to you." cathrine: surrender? AS IF~! Sid: "Then what is it that you want? How else do we get your information if you are not here to confirm it?" Jacqueline: "Kim...Are they actually going to let her walk away free?" kim: if you wont surrender, then i'll just MAKE YOU! *she attacks at cathrine* KINUTA TEAL! I CHALLENGE YOU TO THE DEATH! Jacqueline: "!!!" Sid: "?!" -the battle lasts for a while until...- ???: HALLOWEEN BOMB! kinuta: ??? *BWOOM* WHAT THE FUCK?! Sid: "What now?" kinuta: the hell?! blair: dont mind me, just a passing stray~ Stein: "Get these bystanders back, now! This is going to get out of hand..." -soon, kinuta is defeated- kinuta: ugh... fuck.. kim: jackie.....why dont we make you a deathscythe today? Jacqueline: "Kim...I-I don't think we can do that...It just does not feel right." kim: AFTER HOW SHE TREATED ME MY WHOLE LIFE?! HOW SHE MADE ME FEEL USELESS AND UNWANTED?! AFTER HOW SHE TORTURED AND ABUSED ME?! I CANT THINK OF SOMEONE BETTER TO- Jacqueline: "Kim! You would kill your own mother?!" kim: WHAT MOTHER WOULD TREAT HER OWN CHILD AS TRASH?!?!?! *panting* Jacqueline: "...You would stoop down to her level? Give her what she wants?" kinuta: heh... i knew you wouldnt do it... you're pathetic! once a weakling always a weakling! ???: "Cathrine..." kinuta: ??? Spirit: (smiling) "Hey, babe." kinuta:...... *she starts chuckling* i was wondering when you would show up.... Spirit: (smiling--and slugs Cathrine in the face) kinuta: ?!?!? WHAT THE FUCK ASSHOLE?! Spirit: (seizes her head, slams it to the floor, holding his blade to her neck) "Never. Talk. To your child. Like that. Ever." (slices lightly along her neck, drawing just a bit of blood...) kinuta:....... *she starts to laugh* Jacqueline: "...Kim. Let's get her to DWMA custody. Now." Stein: "...Spirit. We have the anti-magic handcuffs. Let's get this over with." kinuta: you'd kill the one you loved so much? *she laughs more* here i thought you were just some lovesick idiot! wanna know something? i never even loved you! I FAKED IT! EEEEVERY LAST SECOND OF IT! Spirit: "...No. I'm not killing you." (picks her up, shoves her towards Stein, who slaps the handcuffs onto her) "Still need you for what you know." (other guards slap the ankle-cuffs and neck cuff onto Kinuta) "We're done here." (turns to walk towards Kim and Jacqueline) nygus: i'm actually not surprised by that. Spirit: T_T (whispering) "Nygus, stop ruining my badass moment..." kinuta: AW COME ON! I WANTED TO SEE THE LOOK ON YOUR STUPID FACE AS YOUR HEART BREAKS INTO LITTLE PIECES! I BET IT LOOKED HILARIOUS! *she still laughs* Spirit: (hands balled into fists, still turned away, walking away...) kinuta: I'VE HAD BETTER SEX WITH OTHER GUYS ANYWAY! ???: (slaps duct tape over Kinuta's mouth) kinuta: ?!?!? Kami: (smiles) "Thanks for the perfume recommendation." (slaps the side of her face, as if affectionately--but much, much harder, leaving a red mark) blair: ?? oh hi kami~ Kami: (serious) "Hello, Blair." Spirit: (tenses up, looks behind) "K-Kami?" blair: thats a new look for you. mizune: *in the croud* *starts recording* Kami: "Thanks. Don't get used to it." Spirit: "..." (afraid to walk towards Kami) nygus:......3........2..........1...... Spirit: "KaaaaaaAAAAAAAAMIIIIII!" Spirit: (leaps towards Kami...) *POW* Kami: "..." Spirit: (book slammed into his head, his chin hitting the street) eruka: ok even _i_ felt that. Jacqueline: D: kim: denied. Kami: (winces) "Nygus...Get me to the hospital..." nygus: r-right.... mizune: so that was your ex, huh? Spirit: (slight twitch...) Kami: "Shut up. Get me bandages and drugs. Lots of drugs." mizune: that sucks. *she rolls him over* Spirit: T_T "I hate everything..." mizune: *snaps some pics* Jacqueline: "Kim..." kim:....i'll go to the nurse too... Jacqueline: "..." (helps her up, walking her to the ambulance) "Let's get to the infirmary.." -later- Kami: (stretching) "Witches...They punch like babies." (winces as she touches her nose) "Ow..." Spirit: "Kami..." Kami: (looks up) "Spirit." Spirit: "...You look...good." Kami: (sighs) "Still a terrible liar..." (pats a seat next to her...) Spirit: (sits...silence for a while...then he pulls something out of his wallet) Kami: "What's that?" Spirit: (opens a slip of paper, crosses something off) "A bucket list..." Kami: "...Oh. What are you marking off?" ("Probably, 'Defend a child against her abusive parent,' or 'Have an actual badass moment'...") Spirit: (smiles widely) "Have sex with a witch!" Kami: "..." --The DWMA has an earthquake, as a man is thrown out a window-- Spirit: (falling) "Worth it..." *BOOM* mizune: wow.... *kneels down and snaps another pic* Kami: (fuming red) "Fucking. Hell." Spirit: x___x mizune: oi, you alright there? Spirit: (dazed) "Why, thank you! You are very kind...all three of you..." (he is seeing triple) mizune: .................. *she pulls something out of her bag, a HP up* down the hatch. Spirit: (HP+100) (shakes his head) "...I am now alone again." (fetal position) mizune:..... i was about to make a delivery to chupa*cabra's. part time job. wanna come with? Spirit: "...Okay. Maybe Chupa*Cabra's can overcome my loneliness..." Kami: (watches from the window, still glaring, still red-faced...and hot tears...) "Damn it..." -and so- Stein: "Nygus, anything you get out of our 'guest,' Kinuta?" nygus: just the basic things. Stein: "Well, that's less helpful. She's likely holding out...Why would she risk her life to steal this information from the Academy?" nygus: who knows. -at chupas- Spirit: (downs his drink) lisa: i still cant believe cathrine was a rogue witch. Spirit: "...Y-Yeah...God, I'm dumb." arisa: well, she is skilled at charm magic, maybe it was that? Spirit: (shakes his head) "No...I spent days away from her, and what I felt...and what I felt when I was with her, like _really_ with her...That was real..." (sets down his glass) "I'm an idiot." arisa:..... Spirit: "I'm cursed. I screwed up with Kami...and I sleep with an abusive mother...If Maka were here...she'd hate me more than ever." lisa: ........... blair: *she hugs him* Spirit: "..." (just lets Blair hug him, silently) blair:.... i can tell right now you cant be left alone.... why dont you spend the night at my place? i'm sure nagisa would like someone to play with. *she smiles* Spirit: "..." (nods) -elsewhere- marie: *holding christa* *Knock knock* marie: yes? Stein: "It's me..." marie: ah! *she opens the door* come on in. christa: *she looks at him* Stein: "Hello, Marie." (stares at Christa) "Hello, Christa." (back to Marie) "How are you?" marie: doing good. christa's been growing well, too. Stein: "Yes, she does look healthy. Remarkable skin..." (looks at Marie) "I say that as a physician, not out of my obsession." marie: ^^; Stein: (tentatively passes a hand along Christa's hair...) christa: bwuaba? -her head has some blonde strands of hair on it. the fit amount for a girl around her age- Stein: "..." (looks at Marie) "Sorry. I just needed to get out of the office for a bit. Could I brew you some tea?" marie: sure. Stein: (nods, leaves to brew tea) -later, elsewhere- Kid: (shakes his head) "Unbelievable...What was Spirit thinking?" liz: he didnt know. so we cant hold it against him... we're just glad kim caught onto it. Kid: "I know...It just seems like he attracts trouble." liz: maybe, but he means well from what i can see. mami: he does his best... *sad smile* i actually owe my life to him. Kid: "???" mami: remember the car crash i was in? the one that took my parents? mr albarn found me and pulled me out of thr wreckage... he saved my life. Kid: "..." (nods) "Maybe there is a reason he attracts trouble..." mami: ........... (thinking: i only wish maka and i had gotten closer....) Kid: "...To help...*Sighs* I'll call him." Kid: "I think you should do likewise, Mami." -elsewhere- Jacqueline: "Kim..." kim:...............*she looks up* Jacqueline: "..." (hugs her) kim: ................... *hugs back* Jacqueline: "I'm sorry what you have gone through." kim: ..... i guess i can relate to chrona in that aspect...hehe... Jacqueline: (pulls back, crying a bit) "Yeah..." kim:............ Jacqueline: (cries more, covering her face) -the next morning, elsewhere- Spirit: (snoring) blair: *making breakfast* Spirit: (rolls over--and falls on the floor) "Ow!" nagisa: *she goes over and tries to help her up* Spirit: (groans) "Thanks, Nagisa...I guess I don't land on my feet..." nagisa: *she hands him a pillow* Spirit: (smiles) "Thanks. Is it time to wake up?" nagisa: *she nods* miss blair's making pancakes! Spirit: (smiles) "Okay..." (sits up, stands, stretches) "Let's get going, little lady." nagisa: *she smiles* Spirit: (picks her up and sets her into her chair) "Morning, Blair." blair: morning~ Spirit: (stares at the table, smiling...but his eyes are sad) blair:.... *she gives him a gentle peck on the cheek* Spirit: (blushes, bites his lip a little and keeps looking down) -later- Spirit: (walking through the hallway of the Academy..."I wish I could call in sick...but I used up those sick days...") marie: hey spirit. *she waves* Spirit: (half-hearted wave) "Hey." marie:...... how are you? Spirit: "..." (shrugs) "I'm an idiot." marie: is this because of....y-you know... Spirit: "Cathrine? Or whatever she's calling herself?" (nods) marie: Kinuta Teal, the raccoon witch. Spirit: "Yeah...And a real mother of the year." marie:..... Spirit: (scratches the back of his neck) "Forget it. My own stupid fault. H-How's Christa?" marie: she's doing very well. stein came over the other day. watching them together was just too cute! Spirit: (sad smile) "I imagine. Who thought Stein was daddy-like?" marie: you'd be surprised. Spirit: "A pleasant surprise, compared to all the others..." marie: *she nods* Spirit: "...I have to go see Lord Death. How 'bout you?" marie: i'll go with you. Spirit: (smiles) "Thanks..." --And so they arrive in the Death Room-- Spirit: "Hey...Lord Death..." lord death: howdy spirit! whats up? Spirit: "...Uh...The usual..." (clears his throat) "I was here to submit a revision to my initial report about the Witch Kinuta Teal." lord death: ah, well lets see what you got. Spirit: "...Sir, the only reason Kinuta Teal was able to access those confidential DWMA documents and go undetected for so long was because of me." lord death: ...... *he listens* Spirit: "Months ago, I was approached by Kinuta Teal, under the alias of Cathrine. She had approached me, feigning romantic or sexual interest in me. I fell for her ploy, and she used this distraction as an opportunity to get close to the DWMA, including entering the building as my Plus-1 to your and Azusa's wedding." lord death: i see. Spirit: "...It was my ignorance that allowed her the entry she needed to find the documents, steal them, evade the DWMA for weeks, and threaten the safety of our allies, our students, and our charges." (stands up straighter and looks at Death) "I take full responsibility for what could have become a tragedy, and already has resulted in injuries to bystanders and this witch's daughter." lord death: i understand. thats quite noble of you to do so. This rogue is considered a master.. or rather 'mistress' of trickery and deceit. but if you do insist on a punishment.... i'm putting you on toilet cleaning duty for the rest of the month. Spirit: o_o "I thought I was going to be removed from the DWMA--but toilet duty...Um, sure..." (whispers to Marie) "Please don't smash toilets this month..." lord death: and know this includes the bathroom where....*ahem* the 'big brown' happened... marie: THAT'S A BIT CRUEL DONT YOU THINK? Spirit: o_o; "The...Big...Brown? What is...?" marie: you seriously dont remember? well....lets say the less you know about that the better. Spirit: "..." (cries) "Th-Thank you for not firing me...Please let me have an oxygen tank..." lord death: oh trust me, you're gonna need a hazmat suit in there. Spirit: T_T "Thanks..." -elsewhere- Patty: "And that's why I hate using the bathrooms here!" stocking: *HORRIFIED* Kid: "YOU ARE NEVER TO TELL. THAT STORY. EVER. AGAIN." liz: i cant believe auntie would even tell you that! Patty: "What? We're like BFFs!" -later, elsewhere- Kami: (packs her bag, checks her ID, checks that she has her airplane ticket) "Okay...I guess that's everything..." Kami: (walks downstairs, leaves her key with the apartment's landlord, but finds someone waiting in front of the apartment building...) kim: so i guess you're heading to parts unknown, huh? Spirit: (hiding around the corner, sweating) Kami: "Yeah..." (rubs the back of her neck) "Look, sorry, I'm not someone who says goodbyes anymore. I figure I either will see someone later...or I'll lose them anyway." (Her black hair remains, but she has removed the blue contact lenses) kim: ah.... did you visit....y-you know.... Kami: "...Yes." (swings backpack over her shoulder) "I did." kim: .......well... best of luck. Kami: "..." (sets down the backpack...hugs Kim) kim: !!..... *hugs as well* thanks for everything.. Kami: (pats her back) "Hang in there, Kim. Don't let anyone give you shit." kim: can do. Kami: (pulls back) "Keep an eye on Maka. And that idiot." kim: of course. Kami: (looks askance) "Especially because he's not very good at hiding his soul wavelength." --A squeak of surprise emanates from around the corner-- kim: 7___7;; Kami: (smirks) "Well, here's my taxi. Later." kim: see ya. Spirit: (watches from around the corner, as Kami gets in the taxi...and it drives away...) kim: you gonna be ok? Spirit: (walks up to her) "Yeah. You?" kim: survivin.... Spirit: "Yeah...You eat dinner yet?" kim: not yet. Spirit: "Call up Jacqueline--I'm buying." kim: where to? Spirit: (smiles) "Wherever you and Jacqueline want, kiddo." kim: i could go for some pizza. Spirit: "I know a good place around the corner. And the garlic knots are delicious!" -later, elsewhere- Arthur: "So, they captured a witch?" shinra: sounds like it. Arthur: "Damn. I was hoping I could bring in a witch. Imagine what that would do for my credibility." shinra: *sweatdrop* Arthur: "The knight slaying the witch...It's like something out of ancient lore." maki:................ Arthur: *sigh* "I guess I'll have to go slay another dragon...Excuse me..." maki: *sweatdrop* iris:.......... *she covers her left cheek with her hand* ......... Arthur: (looks at Iris) "You okay?" iris: um, yeah. i-i'm alright... shinra:..... *traces a finger over the scar* damn.... she sure did a number on you.... Arthur: "..." iris:........ Arthur: "Maybe...You should have a healer look at that." iris:...maybe.... Arthur: "..." -elsewhere- Kid: (washing dishes after dinner with Death, Yumi, Liz, Patty, and Stocking) kirika: *finishing her milkshake* Kid: (frowns at Kirika) "I could use your help finishing the dishes." -later- stocking: it tasted delicious, kid! Kid: (smiles) "I'm glad. And thank you for joining Mother and Father for dinner." stocking: no problem. *she smiles* Kid: "You and Father seemed to have a good conversation." stocking: oh? Kid: (nods) "Particularly your discussion with him about baby names." stocking: ah. Kid: "Given how many books Father and Mother have read for baby names...I'm scared that they will pick one that will curse that child for all eternity." stocking: i'm sure they'll find a name... thats coming from a girl called 'stocking' haha! Kid: (smiles) "You make a name like 'Stocking' beautiful." stocking: hehe~ Kid: "Well, dishes are cleaned and stored. And we have the night ahead of us." stocking: movie night? Kid: (smiles) "Sounds great. Which genre?" stocking: im down for whatever. Kid: "How about something with a little romance, and a whole lot of action?" stocking: sure. maybe after that we could watch the new movie i got. Kid: "New movie?" stocking: tadaah~ *it was a horror movie Kid: "Oh, neat!" Kid: "I'll get the popcorn--anything else to bring?" stocking: pajamas? Kid: "Oh, yes. :3 " -and so- Kid: (holding her hand as they watch...) stocking: wow, creepy. Kid: "The nooses..." stocking: yeah.... *she holds his hand* Kid: "Eep!" (sees the fetuses) "So glad Mother and Father aren't watching this..." stocking: yikes.... Kid: (slight squeeze on her hand) "Quite scary." stocking: yeah... Kid: "..." (the mutilated animals and the rituals...) (shudders) stocking: what is this, some weird kishin worship? Kid: (grows pale from fear) "Not creepy enough..." stocking: yeah, not enough eyes either, haha. Kid: (nervous laugh) "Yeah..." -the movie continues- Kid: (leans against Stocking, to be held by her) stocking: *stroking his head* Kid: "I'm glad this is only fiction...even though it is nowhere near as scary as real-life." stocking: .............. --Feeding stolen embryos happens...-- Kid: o_O "So glad Yumi is not watching..." stocking: gross! Kid: "Indeed..." (holds onto Stocking) stocking: ..... --The ending occurs--with self-immolation-- Kid: D: stocking: someone get the brigade in there. Kid: (nods) "Such a sad, scary film..." stocking: yeah.... want to watch something happier? Kid: (nods) "Any recommendation?" -they watched something a little more lighthearted- -Something akin to Ouran--complete with a similar theme song- -later- Kid: (blushing smile of happiness) "That was adorable!" stocking: yeah. *she smiles* Kid: (kisses her cheek) "Thank you. Although the film was frightening, I enjoyed it. And that show was charming." stocking: hehe~ Kid: (rests his head on her shoulder) "Tired?" stocking: yeah. Kid: "...Stocking? There are so many things I want to do...and I look forward to doing them with you." stocking: i do too. Kid: (smiles) "Remind me to tell you something I'd like to do...*Yawn* when we are less tired." stocking: yeah.. night kiddo.... Kid: (kiss) "Good night..." -next morning, elsewhere- Spirit: *yawns* lady: thanks for letting me spend the night. Spirit: o\\\o ("What happened last night?!") "Sure, no problem." lady: *she smiles* you offering breakfast or...? Spirit: ("Oh God oh God oh God I brought another witch home--Lord Death is going to fire me! I'm dead! I'm dead!) (smiles) "Sure! And, just to let you know, I am a great cook..." lady: nice! Spirit: (relaxing a little) "You like spicy food?" lady: is it bacon? Spirit: "I was thinking an omelette with a side of bacon." lady: sure! Spirit: (pulls up his boxers and puts on a shirt) "I'll get the meal going...if you want to shower while I cook? Plenty of hot water, good shampoo..." -later- Spirit: (finishes his meal) "So..." lady: ya? Spirit: "...How was the meal?" lady: pretty good. Spirit: (smiles) "Thanks..." (takes her plate and his, putting them in the sink and rinsing a bit...) "Sleep okay? How was the bed?" lady: not bad. Spirit: (slowly remembering some details...) "That's good..." (finishes washing the dishes) "Um...I enjoyed last night." lady: well, you looked like you shouldnt be left by yourself, so... Spirit: "...Yeah. I hit a bit of a rough patch." lady: well, i should be heading out, i have to take my sisters to school. Spirit: "Oh, okay. Well, have a good day. And thanks." lady: you too. Spirit: (awkward staring at her and the door...) lady:.... you alright? Spirit: "Yeah...I just..." (sighs) "Can I be honest? Do you even know my name?" lady: Spirit Albarn, right? Spirit: "...Yeah. And your name?" lady: just call me Mizune. Spirit: ( o_o "I SLEPT WITH ANOTHER WITCH?!") (smiles outwardly) "Good to know. Well, see you around." mizune: *waves* Spirit: (waves) -later, elsewhere- Black Star: (exits the apartment with Tsubaki) "Hurry up! We got to get going!" tsubaki: *following* Black Star: "Can't wait for these dull classes to end--AND THEN THE COLLEGE CLASSES KICK IN!" tsubaki: excited, are we? Black Star: (smiles) "Just never thought I'd be a college guy! I get to go after every idiot who ever said I'd never get there, and shove it in their face!" tsubaki: ^^; Black Star: "How 'bout you? How do you feel about college?" tsubaki: a bit excited, but also a little nervous. Black Star: (smiles) "You'll be awesome! No problems there!" Black Star: (pats her head) "With your big old brain..." tsubaki: hehe~ (thinking: he's gotten taller over the years...) Black Star: "??? Tsubaki? Something wrong?" tsubaki: hmm? nothing, just thinking. Black Star: (nods) "Well, off to class! Race ya!" (runs ahead) -at school- Kid: (taps a finger at the catalog) "How about this class, Stocking? 'Advanced Team Battle'?" stocking: sounds good. Patty: "Oooh!" (pushes Kid and Stocking aside to point at a page) "Advanced Drawing, too!" -later- Black Star: "Come on, Soul! We can start our own frat!" soul: *chuckles* Black Star: "We rent an entire building, we recruit people, we do what frats do: charity work, get drunk, regret getting arrested." soul: *rolls eyes* sure man. Black Star: "So, Liz, you ladies going to start a sorority?" liz: wellll...- Patty: (smiles) "Well?" liz: i'll consider it~ tsubaki: doesnt the girls dorm count? Patty: "Yeah, but they don't have the Greek letters and enough pranks." -later- Jacqueline: "It was kind of Mr. Albarn to pay for our pizza...but he seemed so sad when he left for Chupa Cabra's." kim: yeah... i mean, he did just get his heart smashed to pieces. Jacqueline: "Yeah...It makes me half-wish we had just told him to begin with..." kim: ............ Jacqueline: "...Kim? Have you thought about...seeing her? In her cell?" kim: ................. Jacqueline: "...Just a thought..." -later, elsewhere- Yumi: "Ellen, please move the crib just a half-meter to the left." ellen: would this work? Yumi: "Yes, thank you. I think this makes the baby's room perfect." (looks at her stomach) "Does it please you, Little One?" Yumi: (looks to Death) "I also have to speak with you." -no vocal response, but it appears the baby likes it.- lord death: what is it? Yumi: "I will be on maternity leave following the baby's birth. However, I am concerned with the recent news...and Spirit's indiscretion with the witch. I expect that, once my leave concludes, I get back to work--gradually." lord death: *he nods* i understand. Yumi: (nods) "Good. I am your Death Scythe as well as the mother of our child." (pats her stomach) "This one is the most important person in my life. But I also have to do my best to fulfill my obligations." (looks to him) "And my promises to you." lord death: of course. Yumi: (sighs) "I'll be glad when this pregnancy is over. Ankles, back pain...among other things I'm missing." lord death:............. o////////o Yumi: (smirks) "Along with alcohol." Yumi: (winces, feeling another kick) "Next time, though: protection." lord death: o///////////////////o Yumi: (kisses Death's cheek) "What do you think of the baby's room? Is it missing anything?" lord death: other than the baby? Yumi: (smirks) "Cute. But I can't help but feel like something else is off. Color? Furniture?" (adjusts the mobile over the crib) "Is this thing positioned correctly? It looks off-balance." -elsewhere- Noah: "Nice." Noah: "You are improving at the spell." medusa: told you i'd get the hang of it. Noah: "Notice any side effects? Headaches? Neck tension? Nosebleeds? Aneurysms?" medusa: a huge headache, and he's talking to me now. Noah: "..." (flips through the Book, shows her the page) "Here, practice this spell. It will quicken the speed and sharpness of your Vector Plate." medusa: alright ten. -she says something in runic- --The Vector Plate is now paper thin, yet able to hold up Medusa's weight-- Noah: (chuckles) "Very sturdy Plate. Can even hold you up--despite your new weight..." medusa: hmm. medusa: *snarls* you callin me fat? Noah: "You were practically starving in that prison. Now you are at least looking healthy." (smirks) "Don't mind having more of you..." medusa: *aims a vector arrow inches from him* Noah: (smiles) "Really, now: we should be making sure your Arrows are faster and sharper. If you are going to attack me, use the new Vector Arrow spell I already taught you." -elsewhere- Kid: (looking out of a window at the Mansion's pool) stocking: *she's taking a quick swim* Kid: (smiles, closes the curtains, makes sure the door is locked, changes into his trunks, and comes down to the pool) "Hello." stocking: *she smirks* enjoying the view~? Kid: (smiles) "Yes." (dips a toe into the pool, sighs with relief, and descends the steps in the shallow end and swims towards her) stocking: hehe~ Kid: (swims under the water...) stocking: *shaking her rear* Kid: ("Dat ass...") (swims up, clutches her cheeks) stocking: kya~! Kid: (emerges out from under the water, inhales, still squeezing her butt) "So perfect~" stocking: *she leans against him, rubbing her rear end against his trunks* Kid: (smiles, puts his arms around her waist) "Last night, do you know what I was thinking?" stocking: what~? Kid: (whispers in her ear) "Skinny dipping..." stocking: it is sunset...mind helping me~? Kid: "Top or bottom?" stocking: surprise me~ Kid: (kisses along her shoulder, as he unties her bikini bottom) stocking: mmmm kiiid~ Kid: (turns her around) "Your turn..." stocking: *she inhales and holds her breath as she goes under, pulling down his trunks and flicking the tip, causing the length to bounce a bit* Kid: o\\\\o "Wow." stocking: *she resurfaces and presses her chest against him* Kid: (hugs her, as his hands go behind her to her top...) "I asked the maids and staff to take this evening off...Father and Mother decided to enjoy a night out of the house and stay at a fancy Death City hotel...Liz was kind enough to take Patty and Kirika out all night..." (unties her top) stocking: *she grins* Kid: (pulls the top up and off of her, flinging it behind him) stocking: *she shows her breasts to him before pulling him in for a kiss* Kid: (wraps his arms around her, returning the kiss...feeling the water pass along their naked bodies) stocking: this feels nice. Kid: "So free...natural..." stocking: *grinds against him slightly* Kid: (moans a bit...his fingers slide along her back, massaging her back blades) -elsewhere- medusa: so what do you plan on doing to me tonight all bound up like this? Noah: (pacing back and forth, rubbing a finger along the enchanted rope holding her) "What do you think?" medusa: one of your deprived fetishes? -the rope is black smooth, like thick cord- Noah: (smirks) "A bit...But that comes later. Medusa, you realize that you are one of the few witches who cannot transform into an animal?" medusa: i can!.... sometimes. Noah: "No, you planted your soul inside of one of your snakes...The Book of Enoch gives you that lesson on transformation..." (he curls his fingers around her neck) "And if you want to get out of these ropes, you will have to get back to your roots, learn to fully transform into a snake." (he holds up the pages) "Read, slip out of the ropes..." medusa: ...... very well. -after a while, she manages to escape- Noah: (smirks) "A bit too well..." (pulls from the ropes her clothes) medusa: keeping my clothes is another stor-w-wha?! Noah: (chuckles) "You learned to transform your body--not your clothes." (tilts his head) "Hmm...That weight on you has improved your appearance." medusa: *she flips him off* my body's back to normal... 7////7 my chest though.... Noah: "What about your chest?" medusa: *stares* seems they've grown.... i blame you for this. Noah: (smiles) "I thought you were proud to be the most endowed of the Gorgons..." (snaps his fingers, and his clothes fly off of him, like bits of paper) medusa: ........... (thinking: that would have been arachne.... but she's gone.... so i guess he's right.... since shaula's just a pancake.) Noah: (approaches her, letting his hand rest on her) "Now you need to learn how you can manipulate your clothes...LIKE THIS." medusa: ?! --The bits of his clothes re-make themselves as the rope again, which wrap around Medusa's limbs, waist, and breasts-- medusa: .///////. !!!! Noah: "You deserve a reward, Medusa..." (his mouth opens, licking along her breast) medusa: *she bites her lip* Noah: "I do like them bigger..." (massages one breast) "I had to make the rope looser this time to hold such girth." (smiles) "Don't you think your breasts are beautiful?" medusa:...they're nice.... a lot better than shaula's. Noah: "Not what I asked." (holds her chin) "There is only you here, Medusa. Do you not think your body is beautiful?" medusa: i know i'm good looking. Noah: (smiles) "Good...Because I need you to learn how you can manipulate your clothes around you..." (slides a finger along her slit) medusa: aahh! ngh.. Noah: "Your clothes have to be like your body..." (strokes the back of his hand against her face) "Feel them, know them." (spreads her lips) "Every crease and fold..." medusa: *blush* Noah: "I want you to imagine your clothes, Medusa..." (with one hand, sliding a finger into her) "Try to feel them as an extension of your body..." (with his other hand, takes her outfit, and strokes it along her belly) medusa: *sighs and closes her eyes* Noah: "Good...Feel this outfit as like skin..." (slides a second finger into her, timing the pace of them in her) "Associate it with what is most inside of you..." medusa: ahh.... --The outfit glows a bit-- Noah: (smirks) "Good...Now let's see whether you feel that clothing like yourself..." (brings the outfit to his mouth...and licks it) medusa: nngh~ Noah: (smiles...) "Excellent...That is all for today's lesson. Tomorrow, we practice in-clothing transformation." (tosses the outfit back--which rights itself and sits atop a mannequin that emerges behind him) "Now, we can play...What do you want to do, Lady?" medusa: what, not even gonna finish~? ruude. Noah: (smirks) "Oh, we're not finished...That's why I was asking where you want me..." (removes his fingers from inside her, as he puts his hands to her sides, massaging her hips) medusa: those ropes were pretty kinky.... but i wasnt turned on in the least~ Noah: (snaps his fingers--and the ropes tighten) medusa: *wince* Noah: (takes a breast in his hand, massage it) "Hmm...Look bigger now. Turned on yet?" medusa: 7///7 Noah: (smirks) "That blush is a yes..." (leans to her face, licks) -elsewhere- Kid: (purr) stocking: ah.... that felt amazing.... Kid: (smiles) "And I thought being with you in a hot tub, or a hot spring, was good..." (kisses her cheek) stocking: hehe mocha: *mrow?* Kid: (blinks, looks up, smiles) "Hello, Mocha." mocha: nyaan~ Kid: (pats on the bed to have Mocha leap into it) mocha: *she curls up and lays between them* Kid: (pets Mocha, smiles at Stocking) "This is great..." stocking: hehe~ cute. Kid: "...Mind if I snap a pic?" stocking: go ahead. Kid: (holds up the phone with Stocking in the shot with Mocha) "Smile!" stocking: *she waves mocha's paw* Kid: *snap* (smiles and shows the pic on his phone) stocking: awww. Kid: "Let's get one of all three of us..." stocking: cheese~ Kid: (smiles) "Cheese!" *snap* (Holds the phone for both of them to see the picture) "You have such a beautiful smile..." stocking: hehe~ are you going to be posting these? Kid: (smiles) "Would you mind if I did?" stocking: i wouldnt mind at all. Kid: "Then yes." (kisses her cheek) -elsewhere- soul: looks like kid updated his soulbook page. Black Star: "Really? What with?" soul: *he checks* look. *hes shows the pic* Black Star: (frowns) "Great...He's a cat person now." soul: *he checks the post* Kid: [Mocha has joined us for a photo] soul: mocha, huh? [Soul_Cool_25: cute cat you got there.] DeathGod42: [Thanks!] [TaMeowKi: so cute!! <3] [RoundTableKnight: Typical cat girl...] [TaMeowKi: > : P] [NumbahOneWarrior: CAT FIGHT lolz] stocking: hehe... *she looks through some of his other posts* Kid: "???" stocking: *she gets to one*...... *she snickers* Kid: (pouting) "What's so funny?" stocking: remember this~? Kid: "???" Kid: o\\\o "Why did I post that...?!" stocking: hehe~ Kid: (blushing, but starts smiling) "Remember the bunny suit?" stocking: yeah. Kid: (holds her hand) "I...like that memory." stocking: hehe~ Kid: "Because you were there...by my side..." (kisses her cheek) stocking: *she smiles* Kid: (holds her hand, as he pets Mocha) "Thank you." -later- Kid: Zzzz... lord death: *he tucks kid in* Kid: (smiles in his sleep) Yumi: (brushes his hair out of his face) stocking: dont worry, he wasnt too much trouble, hehe~ Yumi: "Thank you, Stocking." stocking: no problem. Yumi: "We all better get some sleep. Good night, Stocking." stocking: night. Kid: Zzzz... -the next morning- Kid: *yawn* "Hmm...Good sleep. I better get downstairs for breakfast..." stocking: morning~ Kid: "St-Stocking?" (falls out of bed) "S-Sorry...I thought--I fell asleep--and you are here and--and--and...I'm confused." stocking: well, i live here now, remember~? Kid: (blushing) "Yes...I thought...I was...worried you weren't going to share a bed with me..." (solemn) "I would like you by my side every night...but I also want you to sleep in your own bed whenever you want..." stocking: hehe~ you cutie. Kid: (smile) "You shower yet?" stocking: yeah. Kid: "Then I'll get showered and dress. See you downstairs for breakfast?" -at school- Patty: (in a toga) liz:......................... Kid: "What the hell?" Black Star: (also in a toga) "We're starting a gender-neutral Greek Life Club!" (frowns) "Because the school won't let us start a frat or a sorority." (slaps a sticker on Kid's forehead: "Hades") "Lord of the Underworld!" Kid: -_-; "This sticker better come off with soap and water..." ("At least he put it on symmetrically.") stocking: if you're hades, then i guess that makes me Persephone, huh~? Patty: (flipping through her sticker book) "I don't have that sticker--too many letters..." Kid: (smiles) "I would like that..." soul: *chuckles* Black Star: (holds up a toga) "Want to join, Soul?" soul:.... sure, why not? liz: oh my god. Black Star: "Sweet! You can put on your toga or the Greek Life sticker--which you prefer!" Patty: (pushing Liz towards the bathroom) "You don't get that choice, though! You're getting an awesome toga!" -later, at lunch- Kid: "Surprised the Greek Life club has members...How many weeks you think before Black Star and Patty get bored with it?" liz: *shrugs* Patty: "Until the joke gets old--and then we remember we did that thing." (smirks) "Like how we all remember Stocking in that bunny suit~" stocking: ^^; Black Star: "It'll be awesome! I already know our first charity community project: we're gonna spruce up the park by painting a badass painting in my honor!" Patty: -_- "Or, a mural just to look nice and pretty rather than short and arrogant." Black Star: > : ( -later- Kid: "How many more classes today?" liz: about... 2 i think. Kid: "What's up first?" liz: looks like history. Kid: (nods) "Maybe that will help us find a lead on the next Sage." liz: maybe. just two more to go, right? Kid: "The Sky remains unknown..." liz: .............. yeah. Patty: "Who's the last Sage to find after the Sky one?" liz: just the mountain and forest sages. Kid: "Hmm..." (opens a geography book) "I wonder which mountain is the one to visit..." -Valcona Mountain; a large mountain mine that is said to be home of a sage.- Kid: "Hmm...I guess Valcona is the next stop. I wonder whether this will be before or after our road trip..." liz: after, most likely. Kid: (nods) "Tell me, have you found us a vehicle for this trip?" liz: not yet. stocking: maybe my dad can lend one of his vehicles. Kid: "How many seats does it have?" Patty: "Is it an RV?!" stocking: it's got plenty of room. it can fit in a whole family and more in there. Kid: (smiles) "Very resourceful." soul: thank you, franny foreshadowing. Kid: "???" Black Star: "What's up your butt, Soul?" soul: nothing... -later- Patty: "Last class of the day! What is it?" (smirks at Stocking) "Math?" -sex ed- stocking: .................. Kid: o\\\\o Black Star: : D Patty: "Yay!" Patty: "It's not math, but it is about multiplyin!" -and so- Black Star: "...Dude..." Patty: (writing notes, drawing diagrams) stocking:.... *taking notes* Kid: o\\\\o Patty: (elbows him, whispers) "Take notes!" Black Star: (glances at Tsubaki--and blushes) tsubaki: .//////. liz: hmmm... Patty: (smiles at Soul) soul:........... *looking at the door* Patty: (pouts...goes back to diagraming) Kid: (whispers to Stocking) "Is there going to be a pop quiz on this?" -after school, where do you wish to go?- Patty: "I say we get ice cream! After all those condom demonstrations, I want a banana split!" liz:................. Kid: .\\\\. Patty: "...I guess a 'banana split' would be kinda painful, huh, Kiddo?" Kid: o_o kirika: >;3 Kid: "..." (grows a bit faint, falling into Stocking's chest) stocking:..... *pats his head* Patty: "Oh, Kid's getting two cups now... :3 " liz: *chop* Patty: T_T "Owie..." Kid: "L-Let's just make the ice cream run...I'm hungry..." (pulls himself off of Stocking, but puts an arm around her to lean on) stocking: hehe~ --At the Ice Cream Parlor-- Kid: "What would you like, Stocking?" -a megadecker sundae- Patty: "OoooooOOOOOooo...I'll have one of those, only a quarter-size of it." Kid: "A small gelato, please. Lemon." -later- Kid: (pats Stocking's mouth with a napkin) "Tasty?" stocking: *she nods and smiles* ~<3 Patty: (pats tummy) "Tasty! How were yours, Sis and Kirika?" kirika: not bad. liz: pretty tasty.. Kid: (sighs) "What next? Time to return home?" kirika: i got training to do today. so i'm gonna head out. soul: i have work. Black Star: "Gotta make dinner." Kid: "I guess this is where we separate. Well, until tomorrow. I'll see you at home, Kirika." tsubaki: *she nods* -later- Kid: (blushing) stocking: what is it? Kid: "...Can we speak in private?" stocking: sure. -in stocking's room- Kid: "...I thought today was very informative." stocking: *she smiles* Kid: "But...Stocking, we have been monogamous for so long, and we have used protection." stocking: yeah. Kid: "But sometimes...I wonder what it would feel like _not_ using a condom...But I don't want to when there is still the chance that I could...you know." stocking: yeah, i understand.
