ROSENHEX DORM - BIRTHDAY VENUE

SCENE I

PUPPET: [Upon this blessed day, we bring to you an offering that seeks to satisfy your whims. On behalf of us, servants, we present to you the one which the fates considered worthy: VIL SCHOENHEIT.]

ROSA: Vil! You came!

VIL: Of course. After all, I had been summoned by this puppet of yours a while ago. What an odd thing it is, to tell you the truth. I haven't seen enchantments like this in quite a while.

ROSA: Hehe, isn't it cool? Professor Yaga says that it's from her personal collection so it's bound to be old!

VIL: That woman... Just how ancient will she claim to be until she is satisfied?

ROSA: Aaah, I'm not sure about that but it's kinda cool that she has all these gadgets, right?

VIL: Indeed, I suppose that for a Rosenhex student like you there would be interest in this sort of technology. If we may call it that.

ROSA: Mm, I guess so! Though I'm not really that good with enchantments, to be honest... I'm definitely the sort of witch who leans more towards charms! You could even say that they're my speciality! Hehehe!

VIL: Hmph, is that so? Your conceit is rather enchanting in its own way, I suppose, but you shouldn't let it go to your head. You'll look just like a child with an inflated ego.

ROSA: HUH?! Seriously?! Ahhhh, that's the last thing that I want... Ok! Then! Today, for my very special birthday, I would like to observe Vil as my birthday present!

VIL: Observe me? Now, that's quite an interesting proposition. And what exactly are you hoping to accomplish by that, hm?

ROSA: Well! Since Vil is so mature and adult-like, I'd like to learn your tricks so I can get that sort of allure as well! Isn't that really, really smart on my part, hehe?

VIL: Smart? You really just come up with the most ridiculous things... But very well, I will grant you this. But first and foremost, sit down here.

ROSA: Huh? Why? What's happening? Is this our first lesson?

VIL: Don't get ahead of yourself. Before even thinking of becoming my disciple, you must look the part. A cute, full-checked face would be more fitting for a young Ingenue, but since you're so adamant about having a mature allure... Yes, I know what must be done. Now sit still.

***

VIL: There. We're done. You may look at yourself in a mirror now.

ROSA: ... WOAAAH!! Amazing!! This is really cool!! Eh, is this really me? Am I the one in the mirror? Waaaah!! That eyeshadow really fits me so well and I'd never have thought of using it like that! Hehehehe, it's just as I thought! You sure are amazing, Vil! Ever since we were kids you've had a knack for this sort of thing!

VIL: Yes, yes, I appreciate your praise very much, Rosalia. But please don't move around too much or you'll mess up your hair. The ponytail you did today suits you well, and matches the overall aesthetic of your outfit too.

ROSA: Hehe, thank you~ I really did my best since I thought the best way to celebrate my birthday was by having a complete rehaul of my own image! Getting it to behave was a bit hard, but now that it's finally in order, I'm a bit afraid the scrunchie will snap...

VIL: Oh, is that so? Then he must have known quite well how to act in this situation.

ROSA: Hm? What's that supposed to mean?

VIL: Nothing. Instead, here, this was something that Jack asked me to bring over to you.

ROSA: ... A scrunchie? WAIT! IT'S ACTUALLY-

It's the one I saw in that magazine! But it's kinda weird... I remember Jack asking me to look over them because he wanted to buy one for his little sister and I told him this one was the cutest, but hm... Maybe his sister didn't like it after all? But then- Why is he sending it over to me?! He should send it over to the seller! Seriously! That Jack!

VIL: Good grief, I can understand now why things are so complicated between them...

SCENE II

ROSA: Hehe, this look is so cool~ Ah, Vil, can you take a picture of me like this so I can show it off on Magicam?

VIL: Goodness, very well, since it is your birthday, I suppose I can indulge you for a bit. Now, let's see...

[camera flashes]

VIL: Not bad. It seems that all your work as a model really paid off, hm?

ROSA: Hehehe, I'm a pretty ambitious pupil so I had to catch up with you quickly, you know! Ah, lemme just post this quickly and... Ta-Da!

Oh, it's getting a lot of engagement right away! Hehe, that's nice!

PUPPET: [Then shall I proceed with the game?]

VIL: Game?

ROSA: Oh! That's right! We're supposed to be playing a sort of game right now actually... Then, if you're ok with it, Vil!

VIL: I suppose I must as those are the rules. Very well, what is your game then, puppet?

PUPPET: [Understood. I shall now proceed to ask a question that Rosalia Morgainne will answer and which Vil Schoenheit will be tasked to interpret.]

VIL: Oh, now that's a birthday game that I'm not familiar with. But go ahead. Ask your question.

PUPPET: [Question: You are at the bottom of a collapsed set of stairs. You can see no other way up and to safety than to shout for help. When you do that somebody answers your call. Who would it be?]

ROSA: Hmmm, who would it be, who would it be... Oh! I know! It would be Marcia!

VIL: The Prefect of Kriegskald? How so?

ROSA: Well, Marcia is always such a busybody I have no doubt she'd find herself in all sorts of weird places! And she never leaves the house without her trusted broom so if she finds me, it would be super easy for her to give me a lift! Isn't that really, really helpful?

VIL: I suppose... But I expect she'd ask for something in return as well. I doubt you would get off that easily.

ROSA: Aaah, that's true... I'd definitely end up broke in that situation! I hate that! Aaah, it better not be Marcia that shows up!

VIL: Calm down, it's an imaginary exercise. If you're so bothered by her showing up, then why not imagine somebody else instead?

ROSA: Somebody else... Hmm... Hmmmm... Hmmmmmmm...

Oh! I know! Jack!

VIL: Jack? How so?

ROSA: Well, hm, I guess because he's got a really good nose and good ears so even if something would happen to me, he'd find me very easily! Like! That one time we went shopping for a present for his mom, I accidentally got lost in the crowd after we were separated, and he found me super quickly!

But... hm...

VIL: Oh, so it's not all settled then?

ROSA: No, I mean... The thing is that... Jack is really prudish!

VIL: Prudish? And how would you know that?

ROSA: Huh? Well... When we were out to get that present and after he found me, I suggested that we stick together by holding hands going forwards. But when I did, he suddenly turned completely red and flustered, and wouldn't even look at me, but would kinda just hit me with his tail now and again! Talk about rude!

VIL: ... I see. Things must be really rough for Jack, I suppose.

ROSA: Rough? In what way? Is something wrong with him?

VIL: No, never mind all that. Come here instead. Let's take a picture that you can send him now.

ROSA: Huh? Oh! Yeah! I can show him the scrunchie and tell him I'm keeping it then, hehe!

Let's do it, Vil!

[camera flashes]

SCENE III

PUPPET: [Please proceed to the last part of the interview.]

VIL: A piece of paper... Ah, I see. It's a little question. Very well. Then-

“If you could not have chosen your current dorm, which would have been your second option?”

ROSA: Not chosen Rosenhex... Hmm... Hmmmmm... Hmmmmmmm...

VIL: Rosalia, stop making those noises. It's unbecoming.

ROSA: Ehehe, sorry, Vil... But this question is a bit...

VIL: Is it now? I would have assumed you'd be jumping up and down, overjoyed at the thought of transferring out of here.

ROSA: Eh, ah, it's true that I would have done that in the past... But now...

You know! I always thought that maybe I made a mistake picking Rosenhex when looking at the other dorms back in my first year. Maybe if I had been somewhere like Monarchia I'd have learned by now how to cool and wild and found a bunch of friends there. Or maybe I could have been a Noctasis girl - cool and mysterious and confident enough not to care what anyone thought about me, but, um, I actually ended up in Rosenhex that was really challenging for me...

But maybe that's a good thing?

VIL: Oh? How so?

ROSA: Well, um, it's kinda like... Ugh, I'm not good at explaining that sort of thing! But it's really just about overcoming adversity and all that! Rising above this whole stuff and just growing as a person!

Aaah, wait, that makes so sense... Let me start again from the beginning!

VIL: That's alright, Rosalia. I think I understand what you mean.

ROSA: You do? Hehe, as expected of Vil!

But hm? Why are you smiling like that?

VIL: It's nothing. I was just thinking of how much you've grown up ever since we were children. It's rather endearing.

ROSA: Huh? Endearing? But I don't wanna be endearing! I should be cool and mature now, right? Just like you!

VIL: There's still a long way for you to go until you can catch up to me, you know. But, for a start, this is not so bad.

ROSA: Eh? So it's good?

VIL: Goodness, you're truly something.

[*]

PUPPET: [Congratulations. The interview portion has been completed. Please proceed to the last event of the celebrations. A bottle has already been prepared for you.]

ROSA: Hehe! Champagne is the way adults celebrate, isn't it?

VIL: Well, I suppose you could say that. In any case, let us fulfil this last task as well.

Happy Birthday, Rosalia Morgainne!

title. our bodies and other tales of lust

rating. M, R18

characters. Jack Howl/Rosalia Morgainne

summary. [R18] The day when Jack offers her his hand, Rosalia has to make a choice between what she's been taught all her life and what truly matters to her.

MINORS DNI

When she is too tired to keep her eyes open anymore, she looks to the moon for comfort.

It is not the sort of thing she used to do before. Nights used to be spent in her bed, among the pillows and blankets, the soft weight of the hay used to stuff them lulling her to sleep with its scent. They gathered it at the end of summer, right before the autumn rains would settle in. They carried the soft glow of the sun and the murmur of rivers, the belch of cows and the smoke that rose high when they had to burn the rotten corpses of the animals. That summer half the village’s cattle had died, from blood loss or bite marks, too large to be a dog and too vicious to be a bear’s.

Rumours began to spread, but nobody could be sure of the truth.

Rosalia still remembers how the world changed when they found the first cadaver. She remembers the udder, torn apart with rivulets of milk coursing out into the ground. They mixed in with the blood, until they turned pink and she had to watch her little dog, a small, girlish thing, lick at it until its snout turned red. Its mouth smelled of iron. When it licked her hand, it stained her skin as well. And the blood had seeped into her body by some strange design, which meant that for a week she could drink nothing but milk from cows that have recently birthed calves. Her body would reject anything else her mother tried to feed it, puking up the remains and leaving her weak and emancipated until at last, game was brought in from the forest and fed to her by force. Her mother sighed in relief when she saw colour slowly return to her face and her cheeks filling out again. Her body, which had once been thin and spindly was becoming soft and welcoming and before long it turned inviting. A transformation had occurred. Though nobody was sure how.

walpurga-nacht-academy: Lore + Persephone please!

Thank you for the ask!!!!

I'll gratefully use this opportunity to explain Persephone's backstory!!

Daffodil: rebirth and new beginnings

Persephone grew up in a "perfect" family, it was the epitome of a stereotypical "successful" family, and she was the epitome of a "perfect child." With her parents working in magical professions. She was aspected to do as well as them.

From the very beginning her parents had already planned out her fate, such as what type of job she would do in the future, hobbies she would have, clothes she would wear, the way she speaks and how she presents herself to others.

Rather than a person, she was treated like a doll made to represent her family's desires of how a child "should" be. Hence why Persephone never really thought of herself or what "she" would want. It has always been "Ah, Mother would want me to do this." and "Father would be happy if I chose this." She has been trained to make her decisions based on how her parents would decide for her. Thus never having her own opinions as she was never able to develop them, what was "right" and what was "wrong" depended on her parents.

Persephone had only seen what freedom was, but she had never experienced it herself since she was always afraid to take that first step. To her, it didn't matter anyway since she had never felt strongly about anything before. Furthermore, to her, it wasn't like she "needed" to decide on anything as "her" choices or fate has already been scripted from the start. (The stress from the limitations placed on her will start to build up though...)

The first decision she made was during the sorting ceremony. After seeing Rosalia's witches dance, she felt inspired to follow her own "heart's desires". Thus she had chosen to go to Rosenhex, instead of Grimmare. Which was the dorm her parents, had wanted her to chose.

....Her parents were furious, to say the least, with how she had strayed from the path they had wanted her to walk on. Thus they started to devise another plan, one they would make sure she would follow. ( Which will tie into a blot au hehe!)

After making "her" first choice she was somewhat in a state of delirium, wanting to experience things in order to find out her own likes and dislikes. Persephone had heard some girls talking about virtual singers or singers who had hidden their faces for privacy. In her high, she had gone to cover a song. Which had received a large amount of support due to her angelic voice. ( I headcanon that Persephone will be one of the singers Idia likes to watch and support! ) From here, Persephone has been trying to carve out her own fate, trying to keep people from finding out about her secret career and figuring out who "She" is.

#Thank you so much for the ask!!#I felt that it gave me the chance to talk about her past!#I hope this was comprehensive enough!#I felt like I didn't expand it enough.....maybe It's because I'm bad at character building...?#I'll figure it out as I go along I guess....#Is it the same for everyone I wonder...?#persephone apate #twst #twst oc #twisted wonderland oc #twisted wonderland #walpurga nacht academy #rosenhex #grimmare #rosalia morgainne #idia shroud

walpurga-nacht-academy: 👁‍🗨 for Amon and any of the WNA girls?

Lets play a game of how long Amon is allowed on WNA campus before the Nisse Tomte roll his ass down the hill in a barrel...

Rosalia: He had heard about her Witch's dance and thought she'd be much more... impressive than she is, finds her forgettable.

Blanche: An easy target, and will likely give him the exact reactions he'd be looking for. Hasn't been allowed to torment her as he would want because the noise is disturbing to others as well.

Marcia: He thinks she's hilarious and loves her dedication to the hustle. Offered her madol in exchange for taking part in some of his experiments, which she graciously declined.

June: Her finds her strength very exciting and very likely got kicked off of campus for pushing her buttons to see it at it's full potential. He finds her a bit unhinged and loves how easy she is to set off. If he were straight he'd have a huge crush on her.

Diana: He finds her very disconcerting but also very interesting. He likes the animalistic energy, but suspects she'd fight back too much to be of any fun.

Cassandra: Who? Not interested.

Agatha: Thinks she's hilarious, she has a lot of spunk for someone so small and would love to test her limits because he suspects she talks a bigger talk than her walk.

Vita: He would kill to get her hands on her magic, and loves her energy. Like, anyone else with a strong personality and an impressive magic he wants to completely destroy her and watch her squirm. He finds her incredibly intimidating in the most complimentary way, and loves to watch her command others.

Ok, so I’ve been planning my next few months for the past week to take into account my writing schedule and I think I finally came up with something that might be feasible! In other words, this is an announcement of what my (hopefully achievable) goals will be!

The first section is fics that are in the process of being complete or in the editing process already, with only the third and fourth being in the planning stages! The word count is all over the place for these ones, lol, but hopefully I’ll be able to keep it somewhat consistent.

The second section was pretty much born out of a need to try out flash fiction after I’ve been binging it for a while. The themes and characters chosen were things or themes that just appealed to me! Titles are still undecided for this section, so instead I decided to include the sentence that made me think I should give this a try! I will try to keep to the proposed word limit simply because I was to challenge myself.

The last section is something I’ve been thinking of for a while now, simply because summer does inspire a theme of love in me, haha! It’s centered on the WNA girls and the various relationships (romantic and platonic) that they share with the canon characters. They’ll most likely going to be rather short, very descriptive and primarily fluff!

Upcoming

❀ something in the way she knows - R18, ship fic, Azul Ashengrotto/Diana Arrow

❀ at the foot of this mountain, i only see clouds - T, gen fic, Malleus Draconia & Kore Hightower

❀ don’t go, don’t go so easy - T, (unrequited love) ship fic, Ace Trappola/Kore Hightower

❀ day to night to morning - R18, ship fic, multichapter, AU, Kalim Al-Asim/Kore Hightower

❀ you gave me a lily, but now it’s a field - T, gen fic, fluff, Kalim Al-Asim/Kore Hightower

Flash Fiction

✒ Cater: “He’s told that summer is best enjoyed together with others. Cater begs to differ.” - 50 words

✒ Lilia: “Lilia believes that love can be measured in heartbeats.” - 100 words

✒ Idia: “The Sun is falling.” - 750 words

✒ Jamil: “They find the snake’s skin, but not the tail.” - 1,000 words

Vignettes - Kisses

☀ Jack Howl/Rosalia Morgainne, theme: beach kiss

☀ Riddle Rosehearts/Blanche Dion, theme: first kiss

☀ Sebek Zigvolt & Marcia Pyroeis, theme: blowing kisses

☀ Epel Felmier/June Himalia, theme: frustrated kiss

☀ Azul Ashengrotto/Diana Arrow, theme: proposal kiss

☀ Silver/Cassandra Delphinne, theme: hand kiss

☀ Sam & Agatha Voisin, theme: head kiss

☀ Idia Shroud/Vita Dies, theme: victory kiss

walpurga-nacht-academy: Yuuki's opinions on the Prefects in the WNA!Yuu AU? 👀

@walpurga-nacht-academy

Rosalia Morgainne

“Rosalia looks cute and all, but she’s still a prefect of this school....”

While Rosa may seem harmless due to her looks, Yuuki doesn’t loosen her guard around her. She considers the fact that Rosa is a prefect and concludes that she must be very capable in magic, thus she shouldn’t be looked down upon. When learning of Rosa’s celebrity status, Yuuki is understanding of Rosa’s desire to change people’s perceptions of herself. After all, she was seen as a walking dormant from her old world. Also Yuuki can’t help it, but to compare Rosa’s plight to Perfect Blue the j-pod idols from her world that try to branch out from their “innocent” personals.

Possibility of Friendship: 68%

Blanche Dion

“I’ve seen her in the library before, she seems very smart and very stiff...”

Is very impressed with Blanche’s academic achievements. So impressed that she has considered asking the other rabbit girl for help in researching a way back home. Though Blanche’s strict attitude might detract Yuuki a bit. Any concerns Yuuki has towards Blanche would be focused on how much she down plays her own achievements. Sure there may be other people better than you, but that doesn’t take away the passion and effort you put in to your works.

Possibility of Friendship: 69%

Marcia Pyroeis

“She’s very energetic, someone who I wouldn’t mind being friends with. I hope she doesn’t overwork herself.”

Yuuki can appreciate a hard worker when she sees one and is amazed by Marcia’s achievements. Though she worries about Marcia overworking herself with all theses side jobs and competitions. It’s great that she’s working hard for her dad, but she needs to take care of herself too! Yuuki can understand about not wanting to be an inconvenience to her family and locking up any issues, thinking that it’ll help. However she knows that will only make things worse. She hopes that Marcia will stop belittling her own problems. This isn’t an angst competition, it’s okay to ask for help!

Possibility of Friendship: 75%

June Himalia

“I like to garden, she likes to garden. Nuff said.”

Honestly I want to believe that these two would be instant friends for both the “Vita irritates me” solidarity and gardening! However I’m sure she would be intimidated by June’s aggressive nature, but she still does have Yuuki’s respect with how responsible she is! Though, Yuuki does wonder if all these responsibilities that June’s been given as a prefect might be too much for her. Especially with how much of a short fuse June seems to be.

Possibility of Friendship: 65%

Diana Arrow

“Sharp, distant, and quiet. What more can I say about Diana? She’s a beast, and I mean that in both ways good and bad.”

Remember when I said June intimidates Yuuki? Well Diana tops that intimidation ten fold. Yuuki sees her to the equivalent of a warrior princess Wonder Woman. She finds Diana’s strength and wit very admirable, but that beastly side of her’s can really send shivers down to Yuuki’s spine. If they could become friends I see them bonding over animals and maybe Yuuki helping out with taking care of the monsters maybe not so close to the felines though. Possibility of Friendship: 69%

Cassandra Delphinne

“She’s very nice! And her vast knowledge of obscure facts of media can be interesting!”

Friends. They are friends that bond over their love for their grandparents, photography, and birds. Base on her own experiences, Yuuki would have a decent understanding of Cass’s issues with being used by others. She knows how selfish those kinds of people can be and how detrimental it is to be used by these kinds of people. She’s wants Cassandra to know that’s it’s okay to say “no” to the world, especially if it’s for your own self care.

Possibility of Friendship: 80%

Agatha Voisin

“She thinks I’m friends with Vita... Not sure if she wants to be friends or if she wants to eat me...”

Honestly Yuuki doesn’t mind Agatha at all! Sure the weird nick names and sharp teeth does kinda feel like the scary mermaid wants to eat her, but hey at least she can act friendly as she can be. That’s decent compare to how other people in the academy had treated her. Yuuki knows what it’s like being a fish out of water and how terrible people can be, so I think she would be understanding of Agatha’s plight in making friends. Doesn’t fully understand how someone can look up to Vita of all people, but to each their own I guess.

Possibility of Friendship: 50%

Vita Dies

“Vita Dies. What can I say about Vita Dies? They’re so much to be said about her, but this needs to be short. She’s very intelligent and devoted, plus she has that dread queen personality that I would imagine a witch having... I don’t appreciate being seen as a toy to play with by her. Though I’m sure once the novelty of me being from a different world ends, she’ll loose interest and leave me alone....hopefully.”

One would think that she hates Vita, but hate is such a strong word. It’s more like, Yuuki would rather not have Vita near her. Other than that, she could admit that Vita does have some admirable traits. She can appreciate a smart and dedicated person, but not a troll. It’s funny, these two have several significant things in common (great relationships with their grandparents, a love for knowledge, respectful of traditions...) and could be good friends if only they give the other a chance...

Possibility of Friendship: 10%

"R-Rosalia-senpai! It's a pleasure to finally meet you!" Persephone stuttered as she nervously greeted her senior. "I've been wanting to have a word with you ever since I saw your performance at the witch dances!" she added with her face facing towards the ground, her long bangs covering her expression. "It...It was truly...Incredible!" Persephone blurted out as she raised her head. Her eyes shining with admiration. "Your transformation... was what made me choose Rosenhex! I genuinely,,, admire you a lot! May I..know...what drives you to work towards your ambition? I know nothing of my own desires, so I would like to hear about what fuels you! ,,,, if you please." - Persephone

(Thank you so much for the ask and I'm so sorry for the late reply!!)

"Eh?" Rosalia barely managed to utter as she stared at the first year in front of her. Ever since coming to this academy and even more so after becoming Prefect, she's rarely experienced this sort of enthusiastic response from one of the students here. Less so from one coming from her own dorm. To say that she was surprised would be an understatement. It would be like saying that the Prefect of Galdtrea had a short temper. Glancing around, she tried to figure it if this was some hare-brained scheme from another of her classmates to try and humiliate her, get to fall for the bait and pull the rug from under her. That sort of thing.

Once she was sure that nobody was waiting to jump out and humiliate her, she finally looked back at the girl before her and nervously straightened her back. "I-I mean- Of course! That performance came out really great! I had it all totally planned out and stuck to the scenario with no deviations and... uh..." The hopeful gaze made her ego soar a little. She'd rarely been looked at like that since her enrolment. And for this act of rebellion too, which had cost her her own comeback and was received poorly. It felt good to have somebody praise her for being herself for once. "A-Anyway, um, you asked about my ambition? Right? It's really simple, actually! More than anything, I want to become the sort of actress who can portray villainous roles! Because those are the coolest, you know! It's like the mark of adulthood to play that sort of role where nobody treats you like a child or like you can't make your own decisions..."

She keeps quiet for a while, staring at the tips of her shoes. "Being Cherry was nice and all, because I could make other people happy but... At some point, it became too much about other people and I just felt like I lost myself in the role. Like I stopped being myself and became Cherry instead. And nobody seemed to mind which was really scary... That's why I want to become the sort of person who doesn't let themselves bossed around by anybody else, and taking my career into my own hands is the first step... I think."

Pausing again, she plasters a big grin on her face. "So that's what I'm gonna start doing! When it comes to what drives you, it's gotta be your own dreams and hopes and nothing else, right? You can't get bogged down by what other people think!"

Vil: Good grief. This has gone too far, Rosalia. It’s unsightly.

Cherry: If you’re gonna be mean to Cherry, Cherry won’t be your friend! Cherry doesn’t like bullies like you!

Jack Howl

Jack: Grrr! My head is spinning… Drop the act, Rosalia-senpai! What’s gotten into you?

Cherry: What, what, what? Cherry’s Cherry because she’s Cherry! Stop messing with Cherry’s head, you mean mutt!

Rook Hunt

Rook: Aaaah! Reine de la Passion! This light does not become you at all!

Cherry: None of you understands Cherry’s appeal! No one! No one! No one!

Witch Trial

In the judgement room, tall, large with walls made of white marble, Yuuki is sitting at the ornate bench made of heavy mahogany. It is dark - she can barely see the ground, shrouded by shadows as it is. All she knows is that the room is cold and desolate and frightening. How did she get here? Just moments ago she was on the beach in Rosenhex - the Prefect there, Rosalia, Overblotted. Black ink surrounded her, engulfed her entirely until she wasn’t herself anymore, but a grotesque parody of a Harlequin pulled by its strings. They battled - Yuuki can remember that much. And Alkin was there, some of the dorm members too. In the end, she lost - or so it seemed. She can’t be sure anymore. All she remembers is the mask of the Harlequin breaking and then-

Kit: Hey, hey! Ya better not fall asleep on yer feet! We’re here to judge a crime after all!

The voice - small, high-pitched, and inexplicably cruel startles her. In the darkness, she can’t see anything, until a spotlight suddenly turns on. What it illuminates is the small figure of a familiar face - it’s the creature that has been following her around since the start of the year!

Kit: Yes, yes! I can see ya’re delighted to cross paths with me again, but I’m gonna ask ya to keep yer enthusiasm to a minimum! There is time for ya to sing my praises later!

Johann: Now, now, Kit. You mustn’t be so harsh with our esteemed judge.

The other voice Yuuki recognises as belonging to the other one that has been tagging along as well. He sits there in his large coat, dabbing at his sweaty forehead with a handkerchief.

Kit: Bah! There ya go again, kissing up to others, Johann! Ya have no spine!

Johann: And you are too impertinent, my dear.

Kit: Better that than a coward!

Option 1: Stop! Right now!

Option 2: If you’re gonna keep fighting, can I leave?

→ Option 1

Kit: Hmph! Now ya’ve found yer voice!

→ Option 2

Johann: Please wait but a moment, our dear judge!

Kit: In any case, we don’t have time for this nonsense! We have a sentence to give! So, without further ado, let’s declare the witch gu-

Johann: Wait, dear Kit! We cannot give a sentence without a trial!

Kit: Says who?

Johann: The law.

Kit: Bah! We make the law, Johann! If we say she’s guilty, she’s guilty! I say we prepare the guillotine!

Johann: Not without a trial!

Kit: We’ll have a special, 5-second trial!

Johann: Those are inhumane.

Kit: You’d know.

Option 1: Wait, what’s going on?

Option 2: I’m so lost right now…

→ Kit: What? Ya still haven’t figured out? This is the trial! And ya are the judge! So judge!

Yuuki watches as the lights turn on. A sea of shadows disperses only for another to take its place. In the rows before her, there are countless shadow people of all heights and designs standing there in silence, expressions vacant, except for the eyes - the eyes who watch and follow every movement. Kit and Johann bow deeply before them and then with jolly expressions turn towards the bench again.

Kit: So! Let’s get the show on the road! Whatcha say, human?

Option: What am I supposed to do?

Kit: Funny ya should ask that! Well, ya see, ya just gotta up that large hammer next to ya and yell, as loudly as ya can. “GUILT-”

Johann: Objection!

Kit: Bleh! What now?

Johann: You are influencing the judge, my dear Kit! That is unbecoming!

Kit: Shut up! I don’t want to hear that for a suck-up like ya!

Johann lets out a yell as Kit begins pulling on his tail. Yuuki isn’t sure if she should intervene or not. The whole situation is strange. Looking around her she notices that the shadow people have not moved an inch, simply continuing to gaze at her with terrible, sharp eyes. They don’t care at all for the abuse Kit rains down on Johann, or, she suspects, anything else at all. She wishes they would stop.

Picking up her hammer she raps it once, then twice and finally, Johann is spared. Kit scoffs as he returns to his bench, discontent, and Johann starts dabbing at his forehead again.

Option: Please explain what’s going on here!

Kit: Ya sure are slow today, aren’t ya? Well, that doesn’t matter. Since I’m such a nice guy, I’ll make sure to catch ya up!

Yuuki nods, apprehensive, for it doesn’t seem that Kit has any intention of being wholly truthful. Though she wouldn’t be surprised by that either. Ever since the start of the school year, when she found that old bottle in her room, hidden behind the bookshelf, and released the two by accident, they’ve been nothing but nuisances. No, worse. Pests. They refused to leave her alone - which truly, wouldn’t have been that bad if they weren’t so utterly intolerable most of the time. Kit more than Johann since he was the ringleader.

He’d taunt and mock the rest of the students, quietly, so only she could hear, tell her lies about magic and the world, and sometimes even truths. He’d try to play his pranks, but every time Head Prefect Alkin was near, he’d simply disappear. He was afraid of him, but why that was, Yuuki didn’t know. She stuck close to the nekomata after, and she’d seen less of them, but only until she got back to her room where she’d find Kit rummaging through her belongings like he had any right to do so.

Yes - now that she thought it better, “pest” really fit him well.

Kit: Ya see, ya’re here ‘cause we gotta figure out what to do with the witch that went berserk. “Overblot”? I think that’s what ya humans call it. To us, magic creatures, it’s all the same really! Whether ya die or live - it ain’t our business!

He starts laughing, and Yuuki can’t help but bemoan how grating it is. Luckily, Johann decides to chime in.

Johann: Ahem! Your… status might not be our concern, but this “Overblot” situation is-

Kit: Yeah! Yeah! We get it! Ya wanna feel superior!

Johann: I-

Kit: What? Ya want me to come over and pull yer tail again, huh?!

Johann jumps in his seat, tucking his tail under, but otherwise keeps quiet.

Kit: Anyway, like I was saying! We don’t care about your petty troubles, but this “Overblot” thing is something else.

Option 1: Is it really that serious?

→ Kit: Ya think I waste my breath for any old thing? Huh?!

Option 2: Why do you care about it so much?

→ Kit: Cause we gotta! Otherwise the big boss-

Johann: Ahem!

Kit: Whoops! Said too much there! Anyway, ya heard nothing, got it?

Biting her lip, Yuuki glances over at Johann who seemed to have doubled his efforts in whipping his forehead.

Kit: This “Overblot” thingy that ya humans do is really annoying, ya know? Can’t be having ya all running around and going out of sorts like that! Ain’t good for the magic around here, after all! So when one of ya goes crazy - like that little friend of yours back in Rosenhex did - we gotta step up and fix this shit! Got it?

Johann: What an uncouth way of putting it… But he is correct, Your Honour! This transgression must indeed be discussed and judged! It is simply unacceptable for it to pass as such. However!

It startles her to hear the confidence in Johann’s voice all of a sudden. He’d always been a meek fellow, hiding in her shadow, always helpless before Kit’s mocking or violent outbursts. She couldn’t count the number of times Johann has decided to hide behind her, whenever trouble arose. At the first sign of danger he would immediately be gone, only emerging again when it had passed, and it would frustrate her to have such a troublesome imp wax self-important speeches on bravery when even sparrows could send him in a frenzy of fear.

Johann: Your Honour! I simply don’t believe that sentencing the witch to her death as such is the right answer! Humanity’s beauty lies in your altruism after all! Allowing even the smallest bud time to flower and enjoying the richness of its beauty, even as it-

A book flies by, soars through the air and hits him right in the head. Kit’s cackling is so loud it fills the room completely.

Johann: You brute!

Kit: Serves ya right! Nobody wants to hear yer dumb speeches! Not when we have a witch to execute!

Johann: Spare!

Kit: Execute!

Johann: Spare!

Kit: Execute! Chop her head off and mount it on the walls! Bwahahahahaha!

Johann: Th-That! Your Honour, you cannot allow that!

Kit: Huh? Why not? It’s what she deserves, ain’t it?

He turns to Yuuki. The distance between them seems much shorter now all of a sudden. His eyes make her think of fire, and witches burning on pyres.

Kit: Think about all the grief she put ya through? Ever since ya got in this place, these witches have been nothing but trouble, haven’t they? Being snide and rude and jeering at you - how long are ya gonna keep turning the other cheek, huh? It’s time ya give them a taste of their own medicine!

She thinks back on her first day here. The confusion as she got off The Endor Express, the sight of witches flying on broomsticks up in the air, the journey up the mountain and being told how unless she had magic she couldn’t attend this school. She remembers her first night in the green room after a talking, two-tailed cat told her she’d be his assistant for the time being until they figured out a way to get her back home.

She remembers her first day on the job - having to look after a group of witches from a dorm called “Rosenhex”. Tall, pretty, vain girls who simply scoffed at her and turned away, ignoring her completely as they went about their day. She’d have wanted to tell them off, tell them how rude and ugly their behaviour was, but somebody else beat her to it. She was about Yuuki’s age, with long, wavy pink hair and brown eyes, and cuter than any doll she’d ever seen. She yelled at them and told them to apologize, that they were besmirching the reputation of their door, but all she got in return was a sneer and then she was waved off, left behind to clench her fists and grit her teeth. Yuuki thought she had seen her eyes tear up, almost on the verge of crying but when she asked her if she was alright, the girl just snapped at her and then walked off.

And it wouldn’t be the first time that would happen. She wasn’t sure how it would happen, but every time she met one of the girls from that dorm, she’d received a mean remark, and before she could respond the girl with the pink hair - who she learned was called Rosalia and was supposed to be the Prefect of that dorm - would jump in to scold them, only to be ignored. Yuuki would try to talk to her, only to see her dart off, leaving her more confused than ever.

It was a hostile place. She missed her home, her family, her world. And this all just made it worse.

She gulps as Kit gives her a smirk, the corners of his mouth pulling so high, all his teeth are barred. Then he screams in pain and is suddenly gone from before her, having turned around to start pelting Johann with his little fists. The latter releases his tail and raises his arms above his head to protect it from the onslaught.

Kit: Ya cheeky shit! Ya think ya’re funny or something, huh? Ya ass-kisser! I’ll show ya what hypocrites like ya get!

Option: ENOUGH!

They both jump, separating from one another and glancing at her apprehensively. Johann starts to dust of his coat, dab at his forehead, while Kit takes off his hat and wrings it in his tiny, sharp hands. He grumbles under his breath before he starts to talk again.

Kit: Well? Aren’t ya cheeky too? Don’t tell me ya got swept in Johann’s shitty speech!

Johann: How vulgar! It is not so! It is not so at all, dear Kit!

Kit: Hmph! Ya don’t say - then!

Johann: Then?

Kit: If ya’re so stubborn how about ya tell your dear judge, why that is?

Johann gulps. His tail starts to tremble, thumping against the hardwood.

Kit: BWAHAHAHAHA! YA CHICKEN SHIT! CAN’T DO IT, HUH?!

Very well, guess I hafta do it then-

Johann: N-No, th-that-

But he’s silenced almost immediately, having his coat pulled over his head and kicked in the knees. He topples over the edge, and Yuuki hears a thump, but in the darkness can’t see the body or the floor at all. Kit laughs again and puts his hat back on his head.

Kit: He rolled over like a log, that ass! BWAHAHAHA! Serves him right for being a pretentious shit! Talking about sparing witches like that. Ya know why he did it? ‘Course ya don’t, ‘cause yer stupid, so let me explain it to ya!

That old shit wants to save the witch just ‘cause she’s cute! Can ya believe that crap? Only a shithead like him could fall for that kind of stuff, hahahahahaha!

He prods at her, tries to make her join in his rambunctious laughter, but gets nothing in return. Yuuki simply sits and ponders over the situation. Is this the truth? Is all that Johann cares about beauty? She could believe it somewhat. Unlike Kit, Johann had always been a little more concerned with the abstract. He liked poetry, he liked literature, to the point he would ‘reward’ Yuuki with long lectures on books and novels she has never heard about - a particularly favourite series of his being “The Azure Witch.” So the appreciation for the arts was there. But she doubted it extended to humans. Not once has she heard him compliment any of the girls or creatures on campus. Not in the way the domovoy tended to do with fierce glares and loud voices, each defending the girls that lived in their dorms.

No, Johann was merely content to watch the birds, and flowers and trees all around them, writing away in his little notebook until his ink ran out or Kit snatched it away.

Kit: Hmph, ya look like ya don’t believe. That’s fine and dandy, I guess. Ya’re just a dumb human after all. So I’ll tell ya another thing!

What that guy understands by ‘cute’ is really messed up.

Option 1: Messed up?

Option 2: Are you saying it’s different from the usual?

Kit: Yep, yep. It’s- Well, it’s creepy is what I’m telling ya. So ya better not be listening to any of his crap. Ya’re just bound to end up in a shitty position after all! Bwahahahahaha!

Anyway, about all this Overblot stuff-

She watches him inch closer to her, smirking as usual, and signals for her to bend down. When she does, hesitantly, he leans over and starts to recount to her the events prior to the Overblot.

It had been a week or so of being insulted by the Rosenhex witches, ‘rescued’ by their Prefect and left to wonder if there really was any hope of going home after all. The Headmistress, steady and firm, assured her that they were doing everything in their power to do this, but that such sensitive matters required precision and knowledge. It couldn’t be done so quickly. So she had little choice but to resign herself to waiting. Except she couldn’t do that because it was simply silly. So that was why she found herself in the big library, scouring through the archives, and books and parchments trying to find anything, any little clue that could help in her predicament.

It was easier said than done. The library was vast and huge and difficult to navigate and she often found herself lost among the shelves trying to reach one section but winding up in another by mistake. It was troublesome. Especially because neither Kit nor Johann - who of course had to accompany her every time she went there - had any inclination of helping her at all. And she couldn’t rely on Alkin either since he was busy walking the grounds of the school to ensure there was no issue or incident about to happen.

Left to her own devices, Yuuki tried her best to make the most of it each day. It did not yield many results. But on her fourth day of doing this, it did lead to an interesting meeting as she passed by one of the lower windows and heard, almost by mistake, the sound of somebody sobbing. She paused. The crying was unmistakably coming from her right, and though she knew she had no obligation to do anything about it, she still went and poked her head out, wondering just who it could be.

It was the Rosenhex Prefect, laying on the ground, hugging her knees and crying her heart out. Her shoulders were shaking, and occasionally she would wipe away her eyes, though it would not do her much good since the tears would just keep coming. She was hiccuping in between sobs, her voice strained, but even so, she still sounded quite endearing.

Yuuki only had time to let out a soft breath, before she jumped to her feet and turn with tear-filled eyes to glare at the black-haired girl.

Option: Are you ok?

Rosalia: Huh? Wh-What’s it to you?! I’m fine! can’t you see I’m fine?

Option: Uh, you’re crying…

Rosalia: !!!

She furiously wiped her tears away with the white sleeve of her cardigan, making Yuuki back away slightly.

Rosalia: I’m not!! See? No tears! So don’t make stuff up!! I’m not a child! I don’t need to cry just because-

She gulped, her eyes filling up again, then with a flustered face she looked back at Yuuki and yelled.

Rosalia: Nobody asked you to get involved! So stop butting into other people’s business! Just leave me alone!

And just like that she was gone, running away in the small woods outside the library until Yuuki couldn’t see her anymore.

Back in the present, she feels Kit’s small, cold claw pat her cheek affectionately. He grins so widely, she’s surprised his mouth doesn’t split open.

Kit: See what I mean, huh? That ain’t how good kids show their gratitude, ya know? Yelling at somebody for showing concern! Ya agree, dontcha?

Option: …

Kit: So why show her any mercy at all? She’s just a pest! She’s annoying! They all are! Treating ya like crap just ‘cause ya don’t have magic! I say we cut off all their heads! Bring out a guillotine! Or better yet! Let’s all go to a tavern - BWAHAHAHAHA!

Option: …

Kit: Ya get it? Ain’t no need for sparing anybody here! They’re all just filthy witches who deserve the pyre! So let’s just get to it! It’s gonna be fun! Trust me! We’re gonna-

Johann: OBJECTION!

She startles. The one who shouted right then was none other than the same Johann who is now trying to climb over the edge, and onto the desk. He’s grunting and sweating more than she had ever seen him before and it almost makes her worried for him. She’s the only one showing such altruism.

With quick steps, Kit closes the distance and with a certain glee begins to kick Johann’s head and hands, making his climb so much harder.

Kit: Huh? So ya climbed up all the way here? Not bad for a kid like ya! Let’s see how far that determination will take ya!

Johann: Ah! Ple-Please cease this immediately! If you don’t, I will - ack! - I will fall into the abyss again! Ack!

Kit: Maybe this time ya’ll get stuck there, ya-

Option: ENOUGH!

Yuuki uses the hammer to emphasize her point, and it seems to work as Kit backs away until Johann is able to eventually climb up again. He doesn’t seem worse for the wear at all, though he’s shaking like a leaf and trying to fix his little bow, that almost got undone.

Johann: Your Honour! I don’t know what foul words my associate might have used to trick you, but please be kind and show mercy to these witches! To simply execute them like that- It’s a crime beyond any words!

Just think back on the confrontation at the beach, please! That should bring at least a tear to your eyes!

And she does. She remembers the scent of seawater, the sand being stirred gently by the breeze, the look of utter despair on Rosalia’s face. Her eyes have gone blank. She sits rigidly there until the third year old that was addressing her starts to speak again, haughty voice carried by the wind.

Rosenhex Girl A: Well?

Rosalia: Huh? Well?

Rosenhex Girl A: Tch. You’re always so- Are you ready for the Witch Duel or not?

Rosalia: Witch Duel? What?

There’s a scoff and the girl’s glare becomes harsher. Around her Yuuki can hear the rest of the Rosenhex dorm whispering under their breath - the comments are less than friendly. Next to her, Soulis Dergos sighs and pulls his cap lower on his eyes. Up on the cliff, the heads of the domovoy can be seen peeking out. The commotion has caught their attention as well.

Rosenhex Girl A: What do you mean “what”? Are you telling me you had no idea that this was coming? You’ve been a nuisance ever since you came here. Getting special treatment just because you have been on TV, while you keep acting like a brat.

Rosalia: … A nuisance? Is that… Is that what everybody thinks… ?

The look that she gives the crowd makes Yuuki avert her eyes to the side. Alkin told her that she was merely to observe, not intervene. The witches govern themselves. It is not their place to act. But even though she knows this, she can’t help but feel sorry for Rosalia. The day when she caught her crying outside the library building flashes through her mind.

Rosenhex Girl A: Of course. Nobody here can stand you, but it’s not surprising with the way you’re acting. Look at the petition. It’s almost full.

The piece of paper that she produces is filled with names and signatures all the way to the bottom. Rosalia simply stares at it with no discernable expression. The wind seems to pick up in intensity.

Rosalia: Aaah… That’s a lot of signatures…

Rosenhex Girl A: Of course. You would have figured it out too if you weren’t such an idiot and actually paid attention to things around you.

Soulis grunts and the girl shuts her mouth, though Yuuki can see that she had a lot more to say. Rosalia continues to stay quiet, her gaze never wavering from the piece of paper before her.

Rosalia: Aaah… So everybody is mad at me…

Rosenhex Girl A: That should be obvious, given-

Rosalia: Why?

Rosenhex Girl A: Huh?

Rosalia: Why... is everybody... like this?

Rosenhex Girl A: What? Are you even listening to me? Don’t you dare ignore me!

Rosalia: Aaaah… I don’t get it… I don’t get it at all… Why? Why? WHY?

The earth shook. Yuuki could feel it. The tremble travelled through her entire body, the aftershock nearly throwing her off her feet. The girls behind her screamed, huddling together as the scene around them turned black and grey. The sea was raging on, the waves erratic and reaching higher and higher every time they smashed against the cliffs.

Rosalia clutched the fabric around her chest, gripping her magic gem in her hands. Ink as black as night began to coat them, staining the ground beneath her as they dripped slowly. The girl who was previously so confident and haughty had begun to back away too. Her ears twitched and the hair on her tail stood up.

Rosalia: EVEN THOUGH I TRY MY BEST- EVEN THOUGH ROSALIA TRIES- EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY-

I HATE IT!! I HATE THIS!! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! IT SHOULDN’T HURT!

Rosenhex Girl A: He-Hey, ju-just calm down… You’re… You’re going be-berserk…

Rosalia: SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! ROSALIA ISN’T LISTENING! ROSALIA DOESN’T WANT TO HEAR THIS! IF YOU’RE NOT ROSALIA’S FRIEND, THEN SHUT UP!!

The earth was shaking. She could feel it properly now. Her body fought to stand upright, but it wasn’t long before she sought shelter on the ground. Next to her, Soulis Dergos swore as he tried to get up and walk over to the witch who was now on her knees, still clutching her gem, as ink continued to coat her body.

Rosalia: Aaaaaaaah… But there’s nobody here who is Rosalia’s friend is there? No, no, there isn’t. Even though Rosalia tried her best to get along with everybody… She still was hated…

Aaaah… Ahhhh... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- THAT’S FUNNY! SUCH A FUNNY JOKE! ROSALIA IS LAUGHING! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Soulis: Shit! This is Overblot! Morgainne! Snap out of it! If you keep going down this path, it’s gonna end up badly for you!

Rosalia: AHAHAHAHAHA! WHAT A FUNNY THING TO SAY! AAAAAAAAAH!

Everybody looks so concerned for Rosalia! How sweet! How nice! But you don’t have to worry, because Rosalia is fine! She’s gonna make everybody happy again! Yup, yup! Just wait and see!

But they don’t have to, because the ink overwhelmed her completely, moving and swirling around her until all that left was a strange figure of red and black patterns, red strings pulling at her joints. She moved in spasms as if she had no control over her body as if it had been left in somebody else’s care. Grinning she stood before them as the world was dyed into darkness.

Cherry: See? what did I tell you? Isn’t it all better now that the one and only, your bestest friend in the whole world, Cherry, is here?

There was a fight then, but after she can’t remember much.

Inside the quiet judgement room, the shadow people begin to squirm in their seats. The air feels so much colder all of a sudden. Yuuki shivers, and Kit takes this as his opportunity to talk.

Kit: Guess ya remembered, huh? So whatcha think? Pretty gruesome, right? Ending things like that just because of a dispute. What kind of a solution is that? I’m telling ya these witches are just no good! It’s best that we do away with them right now! Before any have a chance to go berserk!

Johann: OBJECTION!

Kit: Ugh.

Johann: My dear Kit! How can you be so cruel, when it is clear that the child was merely hurting?! That’s why she reacted as such! We should strive to understand her-

Kit: There ya go again with yer speeches! Can’t ya see nobody cares for that, huh? I’m telling ya, these witches should be executed! I should know!

Johann: Why is that?

Kit: ‘Cause I’m older, ya idiot!

Johann: A-Ah! But then oughtn’t you be wise enough to see-

Kit: HUH?! ARE YA TRYING TO CALL ME STUPID, YA LITTLE SHIT?!

Johann: ACK! NO! NO!

Yuuki had seen Kit fuming before, but not like this. He looked ready to scorch the earth in his wake. She raps the wood with the hammer to attract their attention and that seems to help calm him down somewhat. Though she might have spoken too soon as she notices the wide grin that passes over Kit’s face. When he speaks his voice is chipper and benevolent, and it makes her certain that he is up to no good.

Kit: Ya know, now that I think about it - ya might just be right there, Johann, old boy.

Johann: Oh? I-I beg your pardon?

Kit: Yeah, yeah. I think I got all carried away there for a moment and acted uncouthly.

Johann: O-Oh? I-Is that so? My, that truly shows how wisdom does come with age after-

Kit: Yeah, yeah, yeah - age and all that. But ya know. I’ve been thinking here, with my wise brain, that we forgot one important thing. Don’t ya think so?

Johann: An important matter? Just what on earth-

Kit: Well! Ya been talking about making things fair, and thinking about the other’s feelings and all that cra- I mean, all those good points. And it just occurred to me that we’ve forgotten to speak to one person. The most important person I’d say!

Johann: The most important?

Kit: Exactly! The star of the trial itself - The Harlequin!

Johann: You cannot possibly-

Kit: BRING OUT THE WITCH! LET’S SEE WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY ABOUT ALL THIS!

Johann: Ack! Kit, my dear, just-

But it is too late. The ground begins to shake and tremble, and Yuuki has to hold onto the desk in order to make sure she isn’t thrown off her chair. Johann isn’t as lucky, and soon enough he falls to the ground on his belly, his arms raised above his head. Kit shows no signs of distress, no fear or even apprehension. Nimbly he begins to dance, joyously laughing, as a platform descends from the abyss. On it the Harlequin, a grotesque vision of black ink and colourful patterns, sways from side to side, the chains she is bound in clinking away as they bump against one another.

Yuuki inhales sharply, clutching the handle of the hammer in her grasp. The Harlequin is staring right at her, and when the platform finally stops moving, so that they are on the same level, though at a reasonable distance she throws up her arms and starts giggling.

Cherry: Hellooooooooooooo~ Long time no seeeeeeeeeeee~

Option 1: Ye-Yeah…

→ Cherry: Awwwww~ Are you shy? You don’t have to be! Cherry loves you no matter what~

Option 2: You’re in a good mood.

→ Cherry: Of course Cherry is in a good mood! Cherry’s seeing her bestest friend ever, isn’t she? It’s so nice it makes Cherry tingle with excitement~

Kit: Ya’ll be tingling with terror soon enough, BWAHAHAHAHA!

Johann: Kit, my dear! What is the meaning of-

Kit: Shut it! Ya wanted a fair trial, I’m giving ya a fair, trial. Ain’t I?

It’s gonna be so fair, it’ll end in a bang! BWAHAHAHA!

Johann: Aaaah! I think this is not-

Kit: Witch! Yeah! I’m talking about ya! Look over here, would ya!

Cherry: Hmmm~? Yuck! What are you supposed to be? Cherry doesn’t like ugly things, you know?

Kit: Grrrrr, ya little- Ahem! Forget about that and just answer us all some questions, will ya? Yer life kinda depends on it, ehehehehe! Though even if ya keep quiet, I guess I can spin it to my advantage- Ooops! Guess I said too much there!

So, witch, tell us!

Cherry: Tell you? Tell you what?

Kit: Why ya Overblotted! Of course!

Cherry: Overblot? Who did? Oh no! That sounds bad! Hm? But what’s Overblot again?

Kit: Trying to lie won’t help ya!

Cherry: What? Are you calling Cherry a liar?! Cherry would never lie! Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever and ever! Only bad kids lie! And Cherry has never been a bad kid!

Kit: Oho? Those are bold words there, given what ya had done on that beach! Ain’t that right, human?

Option: You put everybody in danger…

Cherry: Huh? Danger? Danger how? Cherry was just playing with her friends! Cherry loves doing that more than anything in the world! Being friends with all the children is Cherry’s greatest wish! How could that be wrong?

Johann: E-Exactly!

Kit: Huh? So ya found yer voice at last?

Johann: Ack! We-Well, it is not about me, but rather about our accused, so I must intervene…

Be-Because as you can see, my dear Kit, there was nothing cruel about her actions at all! They were done out of love-

Kit: Misguided!

Johann: Um, well, th-that’s true- But it’s still love and thus-

Kit: Geh! If were to hit ya in the back of yer head just cause I feel like it, would ya still considered it love, huh? Hm~ Then again knowing ya- BWAHAHAHAHA!

Johann: AAAAAH! KIT! PLEASE DO NOT GIVE OUR DEAR JUDGE AND WITCH ANY ODD IDEAS ABOUT ME! I AM A DECENT IMP OF GOOD UPBRINGING!

Cherry: Oooh~ How cute! You two seem like good friends~

Kit: Blegh, hardly.

Johann: Um, I am afraid things are more complicated than that, my dear…

Cherry: Hm? Are they? You joke around and laugh together, don’t you? That’s what friends do! Cherry knows because she has seen it on TV all the time! It’s really, really, really cute!

Option: Seen it on TV? Don’t you mean you’ve experienced it yourself?

Cherry: Eh? Experienced myself? Hahahahahaha, you really are cute! Cherry loves you a lot for that! Thinking that things like friends exist in real life is really, really cute!

Yuuki pauses. The Harlequin is smiling, with no sign of mockery or viciousness present, and yet she can’t help but feel like there’s something wrong underneath.

Kit: See! What did I tell ya? Her head’s really screwed on wrong. Who would ever think of saying this but demented witches? So we should just-

Cherry: Huh? Cherry isn’t a witch! Cherry is really cute, and witches are all ugly! They say mean things about you, and treat you like trash! Cherry has never done anything like that! No, no! Cherry hates bullies more than anything!

Option: Is that why you always intervened on my behalf?

Cherry: Huh? Oh, oh, you mean that? Hm~ Well Cherry felt bad for you because you were treated like Cherry used to be before she became the one in charge! Everybody always made jabs and mean remarks at Cherry, even though she always did her best to make friends with everybody!

Johann: Yes! Indeed! We can see clearly that she did not mean-

Cherry: That’s why Cherry got really angry at the beach. All those bullies ganging up on Cherry to tell her how much they all hated her. Hmph! How mean! How rude! Cherry is a good girl! How dare they treat her like this? I had to punish them! I had no other choice!

The room breaks in a murmur. The shadow people all band together to exchange what she presumes are their impressions of the case so far, though she can’t be sure. The distance is too great for her to make out anything, and even if she would try to strain her ears it would be useless. Kit already began to speak.

Kit: Aha! So we see the real reason!

Johann: The re-real reason?

Kit: Are ya stupid? Or just acting? BWAHAHAHA! Not like there’s a difference in the first place! But ya heard her loud and clear! She didn’t care about friends or any of that crap! She just wanted revenge! Like a witch would!

The shadow people begin to speak louder, and now Yuuki can catch fragments of their conversations. The words “evil”, “unnatural”, “pathetic”, “dangerous” seem to echo over and over again. She swallows as the intensity with which they are uttered seems to increase.

Johann: No! There must be another explanation too! We should-

Kit: Ya should shut up! The witch herself admitted it already! Did ya not, huh? Witch?

Cherry: Hm? Did I?

Kit: Didn’t ya just say you wanted revenge on those witches, huh?

Cherry: Oh? I did!

Kit: So ya wanted to hurt them!

Cherry: I did!

Kit: Make them pay, right? Skewer them alive? Drown them in water? Burn them on a pyre?

Cherry: I did~ I did~

Kit: AND THERE YA HAVE IT! THE BARE AND NAKED TRUTH! ALL THE WITCH EVER WANTED - ALL THAT WITCHES EVER WANT - IS TO KILL AND MAIM YA! ‘CAUSE THAT’S THEIR EVIL NATURE!

The court erupts in screams. They all seem to agree with Kit, their passion translated into wild euphoria that sends a shiver down her spine. Suddenly, the shadow people seem more human - she sees more defined traits, more details and she looks away before their faces come into focus. She’d rather not find out if any of them look familiar.

Next to run Johann is panicking, breaking out in a sweat and wringing his handkerchief in his hands.

Cherry: Huh?! Everybody is angry at Cherry? But why? What did Cherry do?

Option 1: You admitted to your faults, remember?

→ Cherry: Faults? Cherry did?

Option 2: You said some awful things…

→ Cherry: Awful? Cherry would never do that! She’s a good, good, good girl!

Kit: KEEP QUIET, WILL YA?

Yer sentence is about to be passed!

Cherry: Sentence?

Kit: Yep, yep! Our esteemed judge over here is about to pronounce yer punishment: EXECUTION! BWAHAHAHAHA!

Cherry: Hehehehe~

Kit: Oho? Ya’re laughing? Sure ya get what’s about to happen, witch?

Cherry: Hm? What is that?

Kit: Ya’re about to be guillotined!

Cherry: That won’t happen, ehehehehe!

Kit: What?

Cherry: That won’t happen because Yuuki is a good kid!

Option 1: Huh?

Option 2: What do you mean?

Cherry: Hehehehe, it’s just like I said! Yuuki is a good kid who wouldn’t hurt others! Cherry has known this since that time you cheered her up back then outside the library!

Option: You remember that?

Cherry: Of course! Cherry was soooooooo moved! Nobody had been that nice to Cherry ever since she came to this school! They all sneered and laughed at her… Cherry thought you would do the same when you saw her crying, so Cherry felt really mad that you saw her like that!

But you didn’t, and that made her really, really, really happy!

Cherry wants to be loved by everybody, so Cherry won’t be hurt again! If Cherry has love, Cherry feels like everything would work out! That’s why all the children should love Cherry and be Cherry’s friend!

Kit: AHA! THERE YA HAVE IT!

Cherry: Hm?

Kit: Making demands from people like a spoiled brat! Is that what a good kid would do? No! Not at all! Good kids keep quiet and don’t lash out at others! Only witches do evil things like that!

Yuuki keeps quiet as Kit turns to her, his grin reaching from horn to horn as his tail swishes back and forth menacingly. Behind him the court has erupted into a cacophony of screams and yells of outrage, everybody calling out for blood. The word “Execute” is repeated consecutively, until she can’t recognize it anymore. But the anger, the fury - those are pouring from every direction and leave her dizzy.

Kit: Well, ya heard the people! It’s time to give the witch her just deserts! Time to execute!

Johann: Wait just one more minute-

Kit: We’ve waited enough! It’s time to make the choice! There’s only one right answer, so make sure ya pick the right one! BWAHAHAHAHA!

In the chaos, Yuuki grips her hammer tightly and glances all around: Kit continues to smile at her, assured of her victory; Johann has covered his eyes with his palms, trembling; the crowd continues to yell for blood, figures distorted; and the witch - she seems not to care or even be aware, merely staring at her with a serene expression.

Yuuki gulps. She clears her throat, raises her hammer high in the air and prays she has made the right choice.

Option 1: Execute the witch.

Option 2: Spare the witch.

Are you sure? There is no going back.

title. tears

rating. T

characters. Jack Howl/Rosalia Morgainne

taglist. @ITSOCXCANONWEEK

When he was younger, he found the sight of Rosalia’s tears akin to a calamity – world crashing, completely devoid of hope as if the skies themselves had opened up and swallowed the sun, leaving only the pale light of the moon behind. It sounded ridiculous, but the helplessness he felt whenever he would catch her trembling shoulders, pursed lips, the sharp hitch in her voice, he would feel the weight of an ocean pressed against his back. She would shed big, fat tears like they were peals gathering at the soles of her feet, and he’d watch the piles grow bigger and bigger until they couldn’t grow anymore. But she’d still cry. Until half her chest was hollow and only the sigh between the bones of her ribcage could be heard.

Rosalia cried as if the world was ending. And for Jack, it might as well have.

He was never good at comforting people. It was not his expertise, not the sort of thing that he might have managed to achieve one way or another, or perhaps even been taught how to. People in his family tended to be more stoic, more withdrawn. He’d rarely seen his mother cry, or even had much cause for it himself. They lived with a certain kind of understanding of their feelings and how they ought to be carried, which left him woefully unprepared for the world that Rosalia carried with her, nestled in her chest, close to her heart and prone to breaking every so often.

In the shade of the tree, cooled off by the breeze, she sat hunched before him, leg spread out, whipping furiously at the corners of her eyes where the tears had gathered. His ears turned down by instinct at the soft, high-pitched sound that threatened to spill out of her chest.

“It doesn’t hurt!” Rosalia insisted. The wound on her knee pulsated strongly, marred with red and pink and specs of dirt mixed in, which he was afraid might get infected and end up in a worse condition. “Look, it’s not even bleeding anymore, so you should just forget about it! It’s fine!”

“... We should have that looked at.”

We. The word slipped out so easily he barely even noticed, but it sat there, in the distance between the two of them, turning its head back and forth to catch their argument.

“That would be just a waste of time!” She hissed when his fingers ran over the wound, drawing her leg away from him, a glare on her pretty features. Her eyes gleamed with tears as if they were made of diamonds. He wanted to run his thumb across the lashes and catch every single one of them so he wouldn’t have to see her crumble like this. “The nurse will look at it, say it’s ok, then turn us out, you know? So, let’s just forget about it and go back to running! We still have a lap or two to do, don’t we?”

He was coddling her. He might not have meant it, but it was plain as day that he did, and that she resented it. She wasn’t a helpless child, a damsel in distress, somebody who needed to be carted off in the hero’s strong arms and gently placed onto the altar as if she was made out of porcelain, prone to crumbling, prone to breaking. And still, he couldn’t help but worry. It was instinct. His father once told him that he could feel whenever Jack’s mother had so much as pricked her finger because the pain would be shared equally among the two of them and it really wouldn’t matter whether it was big or small, but just that they shared it. Jack couldn’t really understand it at that time, but he figured it must have been because of their bond as mates. People who are that strongly connected must be more emphatic to each other, sharing the same blood and breath, and feeling the same pricklings and disappointments. That is what it meant to be a soulmate. It’s not just the romance, it’s the intertwining of one’s life to the threads of another’s.

Rosalia gasped when he hooked one arm under her legs, and one around her back, raising her slowly as to not cause her any more pain. She was light as a feather, her puffy hair, tickling his nose, and he did his best to keep his tail from wagging when he felt her small fingers digging in his shoulders. She kept her head just under his chin, body stiff as a board until he suddenly felt pressure on his shoulder as he realized that she hit him. Or attempted to, at least.

“Wha… What are you doing all of a sudden?” Rosalia shrieked. “You can’t just pick people up like that! I told you I was fine! So just let me down already!”

Jack thought for a moment. Then, after he glanced at her injured knee, turned on his heels, marching towards the exit of the dorm and further into the campus. All the while Rosalia continued to move and pound her fists uselessly, as he made his way through the mostly deserted grounds. The few classmates that spotted him, merely watched with detached curiosity and a smidge of jealousy, until he was out of focus or they got distracted by something else.

“Hey! Don’t ignore me when I’m talking to you! I’m still your upperclassmen and… and…”

“We’re almost there,” he told her. Pulling her closer, he felt her face bury itself in his neck, soft breath sending goosebumps down his skin. He had to bite his tongue from the surprise. “Then the nurse can have a look at it.”

“I told you, it wasn’t necessary…”

“It’s fine,” he said after a pause. Rosalia’s hair smelled like strawberries and was softer than cotton, her frame lithe and slender, and even dishevelled she looked pretty. He could feel the softness of her waist, and her chest pressed against his, and it made him wish that the nurse’s office could be a little farther so he could keep holding her like this. “My knee is hurting a little too, so I thought somebody should have a look at it.”

“Did you fall too, Jack? But I didn’t see you…”

He couldn’t help the way his tail started wagging, or that his ears were twitching, nor the sudden, wild beating of his heart that he hoped she couldn’t hear right now. He racked his mind to find some excuse that he could appeal to, to dissuade her question, but when he came up empty, he figured that perhaps he shouldn’t bother. She would probably sense if he was lying anyway, feel it like a prick on her finger.

“No… It’s just that it started hurting a while back. Don’t worry about it, senpai.”

“Well,” Rosalia said after a while, resting her cheek against his shoulder. “Then we should go let the nurse have a look at it. I really don’t want you injuring yourself like that… A-As your upperclassman, I mean!”

She really would be the death of him someday, though he’d come to accept it. Rosalia just had a quality about her that kept his heart in her palms whenever he so much as saw her, and no matter how old they might get it would never change, he realized. But he did get better at comforting her and the world wasn’t ending now when she cried, as he ran his fingers across her cheeks to catch the tears that were falling until he could see her gaze clear and bright as always.

And when she smiled at the end, it was like he was rebuilding the world again, so he wouldn’t feel that prickling in his finger anymore either. It was just like instinct.

POCKY DAY

A/N: It's Pocky Day so I wanted to take advantage of it to write a little fluff for them! Of course, some of them ended up being more comedic than others, but that's just the way it is, hehe!

GOLDTOWER

WHO WINS: Kore

FLAVOUR: Strawberry

He's trying. He's really trying his absolute best here to follow the rules of the game. Kore knows this so when he breaks the stick again for the fifth time since they started playing, and goes straight for the kiss she doesn't even chide him anymore. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she just pulls him closer and lets herself melt in the kiss.

When they part, Kalim reaches out for the pack next to them and shakes it. He frowns when he hears nothing rattling inside.

"Did we run out of it?"

"Well," Kore says. "You did eat a bunch before we started."

Kalim laughs. "That was before I knew we were going to play this game!"

"It wasn't really a game. You just went straight for the kiss each time!"

He smiles at her and squeezes her waist slightly. With her legs on either side of him, she thinks that she would have a lot of explaining to do if anybody caught them like this, but Kalim seems entirely at ease. It calms her too.

"I really did, didn't I? But every time I thought I would do better, I saw your lips and couldn't hold back, hahaha! Hm? You've gone entirely red. Did I say something weird?"

She only heard his laughter resounding around the room, as she buried her face in his neck. He brings her closer as he trails kisses along the side of her neck and she struggles to keep from giggling. His honesty was going to kill her one day and she wouldn't even mind it. After all, nothing compared to the feeling of being loved so candidly by somebody else.

WOLFBEAUTY

WHO WINS: Jack

FLAVOUR: Peach

"Ugh! Why are you so good at this game!" Rosa complains, a pout already forming on her face. "Aren't younger guys supposed to be timider?"

Jack simply stars in return. "It's only a one year difference..."

He doesn't add that maybe it was just that she was quite easily flustered by these sorts of things which he never really understands the purpose of, but still does because it makes her happy. Except that it wasn't really working right now, what with her crossing her arms and pouting. There are still a few crumbs in the corner of her mouth. By instinct, he licks the same spot as he stares at her. Telling her how cute that looked would only just upset her, so he refrains for now.

"Hmph! That doesn't matter! One year is still one year! So yo-you should be more bashful!"

He nods. "I'll try to keep that in mind."

That seems to appease her somewhat. His traitorous tail is already twitching in delight. She must have leaned over to grab another packet (for some reason she brought six of them) when his arm wraps around her waist to pull her closer, so he could kiss the spot he had noticed earlier. He feels his face turn red and watches her own slowly start to match his.

"We-Well," she speaks loudly and fast, crushing the packet in her grasp. "I-I think that's enough sweets for today! I'm not a big fan of them anyway, you know? A star has to keep her figure and my intake of sugar is-"

Even her lips tasted like peaches now, and if anybody asked him he wouldn't have admitted he preferred it compared to the real thing.

ROSEDOLL

WHO WINS: ?

FLAVOUR: Dark Chocolate

"What a ridiculous game," he tells her as he turns the page. Blanche gives out a hum of acknowledgement as the tip of her pen moves swiftly across the paper. "I can't understand the purpose at all."

"I think it's merely another way of gauging out who's bolder," she says. Riddle frowns as he thinks about her words. It made sense, in its own way, but surely there would be less outrageous ways to achieve the same result. He pauses. No, no matter how he thinks about it it's still a waste of time.

"Cater seemed really eager to try it out," Blanche continues. His face starts to turn red in response, as he remembers the shameless way that Cater proposed the notion to the girls of Grimmaire when they first came to the dorm. They hadn't paid him attention, but Riddle was still aghast at the thought. Walpurga Nacht was their sister school. To display that sort of indecency would look bad on not only them but the dorm and school as a whole.

"I'll make sure to properly scold him later on," he promises her. "As his Prefect, it's my responsibility to whip him in shape. So incidents like this won't happen again."

He forces himself to keep a stern face as she laughs. It is soft and muted, but in the silence of the library, he can hear it clearly. "Don't be too harsh on him. I think the girls were just as amused. To tell you the truth, they're not as proper as they might seem. Also."

She pulls out a small box from her bag and puts it next to him on the table. The tip digs a bit in his hand, but his eyes are too busy trying to make out the words on the front. He's too busy fighting off the blush that threatens to completely overtake him when her hand rests over him.

"A little break wouldn't be so bad, I think. We can count this as research into youth culture."

"I heard it's important."

"Very much so."

HARVESTAPPLE

WHO WINS: Epel

FLAVOUR: Chocolate Banana

He's immediately shot down.

"'he fuck? 'hat sounds stupid," June tells him as she lifts up the prop and moves it to the left. Epel thinks he can hear Rook shouting in the distance, calling out for the 'Amazon' but if that's so, she pays it no mind. The rest of the Pomefiore students are keeping their distance from them, perhaps out of reverence (or fear) of her. Everybody except Vil, who's too busy chewing out another actor for forgetting his lines. Again.

"Ace told me about it," Epel explains. It does do much except make her grunt. The subject of Ace is not something she's interested in, after all. "Said he heard it from Cater, who saw it on MagiCam. Guess there's all sorts of trends nowadays..."

"City folk ain't got anythin' better to do," she spits out with a grimace. With narrowed eyes, she seems to survey him. The back of his neck is getting sweaty and the box in his pocket is suddenly a lot heavier. "And why'd ya bring it up, anyway? Huh? Whatcha want?"

"I- I mean, I received a box and-"

"No way." She immediately turns around, though he can see the tips of her ears turn red and her hands shaking. She really wasn't good at bluffing her way out of things. "I ain't doin' 'hat. Piss off."

He pauses. He thinks. Then after a brief moment gathers all his wits and hopes he plays it right. "If you're scared you'd lose, you can just admit it, you know?"

It works. She freezes, looks back and him with a snarl and snatches away the box he's holding now towards her. "Ya fuckin' pipsqueak - 'he fuck are ya so smug about? Huh? 'hen ya're basically the size of a fuckin' termite? I'll fuckin' teach ya what's 'hat-"

He smirks. "Sure, let's see you try. Though if you back down, it's my win. Remember that!"

She didn't seem to - or maybe it was just nerves. For such a tall girl she seemed to get flustered by the oddest things. But it suited him fine, he figured. It meant she took him seriously and didn't treat him like porcelain. He was a guy in her eyes.

WILDOCTO

WHO WINS: Azul (?)

FLAVOUR: Cookies and Cream

"Absolutely not," Azul says with the same tone of disgust that he might use if somebody had suggested he donate all his profits to charity. Fiddling with his glasses, he takes to wiping the lenses clean as Diana hoists herself up on his desk. He glares at her - weakly - but since it's just them in the VIP Lounge today, he doesn't voice any objections. Except those related to the packet she has in her hand. "I don't have time for this sort of frivolous things, Diana. Not to mention it would interfere with my calorie intake and just be a waste of food."

She nods, eyes trained on him as always. "I see. So you don't want to play."

"I think I made that perfectly clear."

"Mm. Then I'll go find somebody else."

He starts to smile, then pauses. "Excuse me?"

"My little sisters got me this because they said it would be fun. I don't want to waste their good wishes." She shrugs. "I wanted to do it with you, but since you don't want to, I'll look for somebody else-"

"Wait," Azul says. His face might be turning some shade of pink, but he would be loath to admit to such a thing any time soon. Besides Diana would have noticed by now. She had this annoying habit of being too observant for his liking. "I can't let you run around and scandalize the patrons of the Lounge like that."

"I can go outsid-"

"Or anybody else from Night Raven." Reaching over he grabs the packet and scowls at the flavour. He might as well just eat a bag of sugar instead. The effect would be the same. "If it keeps you from causing trouble, I'll play along with you. Just know that I won't go easy at all."

He swears he saw her smirks. But it's gone far too soon to be sure and he doesn't want to look like a fool by implying anything. Instead, he takes satisfaction in the knowledge that he already figured out her plan - she simply sought to fluster him a bit and edge him as well. Maybe even get him to kiss her. Well, she was sorely mistaken if she thought he would let her play out her little fantasy like that.

Their proximity is still something that leaves him rather flustered, but he manages to push past that and focus on the pace at which he's moving. He has to keep things steady, keep himself focused and only then can he-

The sound he makes when her lips capture his is something that must never leave this room. That's the only thing going through his head. That and the fact that the flavour isn't that bad. And that Diana has nice lips, even if they're a bit chapped. And that he got duped again, though he isn't that upset about it.

She licks her lips when they part and the sight almost leaves him breathless. "I lost. Can I have a rematch?"

"You-" he starts to say something but isn't sure what. When she moves to straddle him, he tries to remember if the door was locked or not. Then immediately forgets about it as the taste of artificial sugar and she becomes overwhelming.

SILVERFEY

WHO WINS: ?

FLAVOUR: Pizza

Silver has remarked that for all the complaining and whining Sebek does in regards to the other first years, he still hangs around with them. It seems almost strange how he himself hasn't noticed it but his father did advise not to bring it up. Apparently, Sebek was still young and had a lot to learn. Judging by the way he kept ranting for half an hour about this game that Ace told them about and then for another when he noticed Silver had fallen asleep halfway through his explanations, he figured his father was right.

"Um, wa-was the game a fun o-one?" He doesn't get worried about Cassandra's tendency to stutter whenever she talks. It used to bother him a bit at first, but now he hardly paid it any mind. Besides she does it far less now than back when they first met each other. Though it seems it's only like this with him. That he does find a little odd.

"Hm, I can't really remember," he says. Taking the Mazariner she offers, he makes sure the little blanket is properly covering her legs before he bites into it. "He made it sound like it was a game of deceit. Maybe a prank?"

"Oh," she replies as she fiddles with the thermos. Cassandra made good coffee, though she herself never drank it, so he always looked forward to these picnics that they had. "That doesn't sound ve-very nice. Making fun of pe-people isn't... very good, right?"

"I guess," he says. "Though Fa- I mean, Lilia-sempai does play them on us from time to time."

She's quiet for a moment. He can see the cogs spinning inside, then her mouth moves into a grimace and he feels bad. Maybe he shouldn't have said that. "Oh, um, I suppose that fa-fairies do tend to like that so-sort of thing. They might find it no-normal after all."

"Not all fairies," he quickly adds. "I don't think it's standard for them. Or the majority. You'll be fine. I think."

"Oh, re-really?" She gives a tentative smile. "I hope to learn a lo-lot from Mister Vanrouge and Lo-Lord Draconia about fairies. Um, I think then I-I would get along better with e-everybody..."

They don't say anything for a while. Then Silver shifts slightly and feels the tip of something jabbing his thigh. It's a box Lilia had left with him when he heard that he'll see Cassandra today. He isn't sure why, but Silver does remember seeing his father smile in a mysterious, incomprehensible way.

"Lilia-sempai gave me this," he says handing her the box. She takes it and reads the lettering carefully before glancing back at him. "I'm not sure what for, but you can have it if you want to. The flavour is strange so maybe you can use it to prank people. Like he does." Yes, that makes sense. That was why he received this odd box.

This time Cassandra smiles more genuinely and it sets his heart at ease. She cradles the box close to her chest and she begins to formulate with him pranks that would require the use of the box, though he doesn't get farther than four or five sentences before he falls asleep. She leans over to touch his shoulder every time it happens and he bolts awake, grateful for her patience.

It ends up being a nice picnic again.

BLACKFLAME

WHO WINS: Idia (?)

FLAVOUR: Whiskey

"I'm busy," Idia immediately replies. He doesn't even take his eyes off his console to look at her, though when she presses against him from behind he almost jumps out of his chair. Vita is grinning like a cat even when he turns back to scowl at her. "I'm close to clearing this level. Go play with somebody else."

He makes a shooing motion towards her, but quickly stops when she grabs his hand and intertwines their fingers. They're cold, like usual, and he can already tell the tips of his hair are turning pink.

"My love~ It would be most unnatural if I were to do that when you are already here. Do you not think so~?" she purrs out in the same tone she always does when she sets out to tease him. Though now that she's actually moving to sit in his lap, he figures she might actually be quite serious about it all. "After all, we are to share everything together. No?"

"I-I think we can pass on this one!" he stammers out with less confidence than he intended but doesn't move to push her off. Taking a lot at the box, his eyes narrow. "And how did you even bring this here? I never even knew they made this flavour..."

"'Tis a little secret~" she says. "But, if my beloved does not wish to engage, I shall not insist. I do not wish to scare you, after all."

He pauses. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh, nothing at all. Do ignore this slip of the tongue." She smirks and he feels himself getting heated. "I simply do not wish to cast you in an... unfavourable light."

"As a what?"

"A coward. I understand it must be quite unbearable to fear defeat to such a degree that you would not even attempt a 'children's game'."

Idia exhales softly through his nose. When he hoists her closer, she gives out a little squeak he knows she put on for show but doesn't care about it. Not now. Getting riled up like this is doing nothing but playing in her hands, but now that he's worked up, he can't really back down. "Give me that box. And get ready to be humbled!"

He proceeds carefully, keeping eye contact though his hands are digging in her sides, and just before he thinks he'll give up she suddenly breaks off.

"Oh, no~ It seems that my nerves have gotten the best of me this time. May I try again, my love?"

"Huh? I-I mean, sure." He isn't sure why she's putting on the show, but his ego is certainly being inflated right now. He doesn't even notice that each time their lips are getting close enough to touch she breaks off but has her arms slowly wrapping around his shoulders. He thinks he's going to win and is already thinking of what victory phrases he's going to use when he beats her, but suddenly, she's not backing away when she breaks off and he feels her lips and her body pressing against his own. The chair he's in almost topples over and he's holding onto her like a lifeline, while he's marvelling at how she makes the flavour taste like candy.

When she breaks off the kiss, he moves to follow after but stops. "Congratulations, my love~ It seems that you have once again won~"

"That's-That's obvious, heh," he mutters without much conviction. Licking his lips, he wonders how many boxes she might have brought with her.

WNA HALLOWEEN - THE GREAT HIDE & SEEK HUNT!

Did you know that there’s an old legend surrounding the town of Brocken? Apparently a long, long time ago a rich girl was waiting for her beloved to return from his exhibition up the mountain. He claimed that there was gold up there, enough to buy the whole town and finally be worthy of her hand. The girl was beside herself with joy at the prospect - ever since they met, she wanted nothing more than to marry her lover and live happily ever after. Finally, it seemed that her wish would come true.

Unfortunately it was merely a dream. Her beloved went up the mountain but never returned. She waited years and years and years for him, but no matter how much she hoped and prayed she never saw him again. Some claim that the mountain took him. Some say that he ran away to marry another. Others even claimed they saw his ghost wandering around on Halloween looking for his way home. However, the truth remains the same - the lovers were never able to be reunited and the would-have-been bride mourned for him all her life. Dressed in black, she wandered the halls without uttering a single word. Until a tragedy befell her - what sort of tragedy? Well, here it starts to get interesting, my dear. For you see - her body was never actually recovered.

Thus, in this year’s edition of Halloween, the eight dorms of Walpurga Nacht Academy would like to invite you on a little hunt! Go forth and as the faithful lover attempt to reunite with the beloved bride and discover just what tragedy has befallen her in your absence! But make sure to make haste and be cautious, for the halls of this mansion are crawling with ferocious imps ready to throw you out once they catch sight of you! And if they do, you can never return back!

Of course, you will not be left helpless, for you will be allowed two useful tools: a bell to drive away the imps once you have caught them and a guide to open the door to the chamber where your beloved lies!

Now, the only question that remains: will you make it there in time?

Stay inside the shadows, all you girls and boys/ Don't you make a noise, or I am going to find you~

RULES

In order to participate, the guests must buy a ticket for the event!

The rules of the event are simple! Participants must scour the old mansion for clues as to where the Lost Bride is hiding while making sure to avoid capture by the students dressed up as the imps. In order to make sure the rules are respected, Nisse Tomte are found through every nook and cranny observing the going-ons. Once they discover that a student was caught by the imps they throw them out of the mansion as they have been compromised.

The game lasts from dusk until midnight when the chime of the clock indicates that the last ones standing have won the game.

You can either win the game by making sure to avoid detection by the imps until midnight, or by finding the chamber of the Lost Bride.

Once a guest has reached the entrance of the chamber they must wait for the Guide (Yuuki Tsukino) to open the door. Forcing the entry open will result in a disqualification!

Magic is forbidden here! Moreover, so are phones as they will be considered akin to cheating. All caught breaking the rules are disqualified immediately.

Once a guest catches an imp, they attach a little bell to their dress! The imps are still allowed to move after, but it will be easier for guests to navigate the manor after as they will be alerted by the sound.

THE LOST BRIDE

None is more pitiful than the bride who wasted away waiting for her beloved to return - but the manner in which she did so is rather mysterious. None are sure how or when it happened, but suddenly one day she was simply gone. And thus several theories have been born -

THE BRIDE OF ROSES

The students of Rosenhex would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance in the rose garden, where among the bushes and greenery you will find your beloved lying in a grave of roses, the thorns and vines covering her entire body as the last proof of love she will ever give.

Now, awaken your bride!

ROSA: My love- I knew you would come for me at last! Even as the years got harder, I never gave up hope. I closed my ears to the vile rumours they spread about you, and to the doubt that blossomed in my heart as well. I knew that only death could keep you apart from me. So, without any other choice, I’ve decided to let myself be swallowed by the earth as well in hopes of reuniting with you also. It seems my prayers have been answered at last.

THE HANGING BRIDE

The students of Grimmaire would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance in the library, where among the shelves and paintings you will be witness to a gruesome sight - the corpse of your beloved strung up by the noose. Dangling in the air, she makes for horrifying scenery as she opens her eyes, and addresses you full of resentment.

Now, awaken your bride!

BLANCHE: To think that you would dare to set foot here again, you scoundrel. Were the years I have wasted on you not enough? Was my sacrifice in vain after all? I waited for you all this time, hoping you would return and at the end of my life, I realized I wasted it all. What a poor and pitiful soul I must have been, chasing after shadows and false promises at last. But no matter what, at least it seems that you have fared no better than I.

THE BURNING BRIDE

The students of Kriegskald would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the courtyard, where you’ll see the bride strung up on a pyre. When you approach closer, the body bursts into flames and is completely disintegrated by the temperature, yet somehow a voice still calls out to you from the carnage.

Now, awaken your bride!

MARCIA: Love - to think you would return to me after all this time. It’s a pity our meeting couldn’t have happened sooner. You see, after you disappeared rumours started going around that I bewitched you and sent you in search of gold. They claimed I was a temptress set out to destroy the town and the only way to protect themselves was to punish me for my sins. But that I got to see you here in my last moments should surely speak of my innocence, is that not so?

THE IRON BRIDE

The students of Galdtrea would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the basement, where you’ll find a most peculiar chamber. It is filled to the brim with tools and off contraptions, and in the middle, there’s an old Iron Maiden, that reeks of blood and carnage. As you approach it, a voice calls out to you, filled with fury.

Now, awaken your bride!

JUNE: So yer- So you returned? You dare show your face here after you abandoned me? After you decided to up and- to desert me like the lowly scoundrel that you are?! And what have you returned for? To gloat to me about how wealthy and happy your life has become? You bas- You monster! I will make you rue the day you betrayed my- my love!

THE DEMURE BRIDE

The students of Monarchia would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the parlour where you’ll find a young woman having tea by the window. She seems frozen in place and mournful, her gaze betrayed the toll the years have had upon her and when she addresses you, she seems almost content. There is no horror that awaits you, you think, until you notice the crib in the corner.

Now, awaken your bride!

DIANA: Love. How odd - I had come to accept my fate of the widow. But now you return. I have waited for you all these years. I had hoped you would come to find me, though I knew that only death could keep you apart. I’m sorry. I wished the three of us could have spent our days together, but in the end…

THE SLEEPING BRIDE

The students of Oraluna would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the sleeping chamber where you’ll find a young woman resting among the silk and satin. She looks cold to the touch, like a corpse frozen, but when she opens her eyes, you’re shocked to see the light and warmth in them. She smiles at you and reaches for your hands.

Now, awaken your bride!

CASSANDRA: Um, th-thank you for coming back, my lo-lo-lo-lo-love. I-I have waited for ma-many years, for you to return, um. Even when they said I should lo-lo-lose hope, I never faltered… That is, until, they brought ba-ba-back your watch. The one I had gifted to you when we promised we would we-we-we-we-wed… Um!! Upon seeing such proof, I could lie to myself anymore, and from a broken he-he-heart I have fallen into a deep slumber… I’m so-sorry…

THE BRIDE WHO POISONED

The students of Eliksia would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth into the kitchen where you’ll find a young woman hunched over a cauldron. There is a foul smell emanating from it and as you glance around you notice all sorts of elixirs and potions are strewn around. And are those bones in the corner? No, surely not.

Now, awaken your bride!

AGATHA: Welcome… ehehehehe… I… have… waited… so… long… for… you… my… love… Too… long… to… even… remember… when… I… started… to… turn… out… like… this… They… all… said… that… you… deserted… me… but… that’s… not… true… is… it… ? They… all… just… sought… to… keep… us… apart… that’s… why… I… made… sure… they’ll… pay… for… it… ehehhehehehehehe…

THE ETERNAL BRIDE

The students of Noctasis would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth into the old family crypt where the cold will freeze your bones and incite you to all manners of horrors. It seems deserted, only perhaps the corpses and skeletons keeping you company, but as you walk deeper in you soon realize it is not so. A woman stands up suddenly and welcomes you warmly, despite the paleness of her visage which makes your blood curdle. What is she doing here among these corpses and old bones?

Now, awaken your bride!

VITA: My heart~ You have at last returned, just as I knew you would. After all, death is nothing but an obstacle for us who love each other so truly. The years have been long and the wait was painful but as you can see - it did not conquer me at all. Just like, I have become eternal~ So, then, my heart, come, let us join together amidst these bones and all this grime. Is that not what you are here for, after all~

OUTFITS

No hunt is truly complete without a nice outfit, and Walpurga Nacht has made sure to provide only the best for its students and guests alike. The dresses of the brides were sewn together by the Nisse Tomte, as were those of the students playing the imps. The material is black to represent the mourning state she was in until her death, and clothes pertaining to her own wardrobe were chosen as examples.

The Brides.

The Imps.

The Hunters.

PRIZES

Participating in the hunt isn't just a good way of spending Halloween night doing something exciting with friends, but also to win the chance to visit the grounds of Walpurga Nacht Academy on your own! Those who manage to outlast the imps during the chase will be rewarded with a few magic items chosen at their discretion, but those who find the chamber of the bride will be awarded a tour of Walpurga Nacht's interior including the main campus, its courtyard and the opportunity to chat with one of the Prefects at their own dorm!

Moreover, all profits made from this event will go towards the upkeep of Brocken's landmarks and monuments!

OTP QUESTIONS - WOLFBEAUTY

1. WHO IS THE MOST AFFECTIONATE?

Rosa definitely, though she lacks the self-awareness to realize she's clingy. She likes to just latch onto Jack whenever they are close and acts very natural about the whole thing so it's hard for him to say anything in return. Not that he would mind you. But he does tend to be very awkward with PDA.

2. BIG SPOON/LITTLE SPOON?

He's the big spoon and she's the little spoon - the height difference makes it impossible otherwise. She likes to bury her face in his neck and fall asleep like that. They never spoon from behind because her hair always gets in his face.

3. MOST COMMON ARGUMENT?

That Jack tends to fuss over Rosa a bit too much. She really wants to affirm her independence so she thinks the fussing is going against her desires and inhibiting her from reaching her full potential. Because she's a very emotive girl, she tends to completely blow things out of proportion which leads to them arguing but they always make up really fast.

4. FAVOURITE NON-SEXUAL ACTIVITY?

Training! Or jogging! Basically, anything that keeps them active. They're quite athletic so they enjoy outdoor activities a lot. Jack also introduced Rosa to caring about cacti though she's trying to learn how not to kill plants accidentally, and sometimes when they're not doing anything else Jack will read lines with her. He's always extremely awkward if it comes to any romantic scene.

5. WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO CARRY THE OTHER?

Jack. 100%. Rosa might attempt as a means of proving she's tough, and Jack even might humour her by pretending to be lifted slightly, but he's always the one carrying her bridal style or on his back.

6. WHAT IS THEIR FAVORITE FEATURE OF THEIR PARTNER'S?

Rosa would say that she loves that Jack is wild, though her absolute favourite thing about him is actually that he's very caring and attentive to her needs in his own awkward way. Also that his tail is fluffy and it wags when he's happy.

Jack likes that she's hard-working, passionate and driven. He appreciates Rosa's simple honesty a lot since it responds to his need for fair play. He likes her eyes a lot because they're very honest, but also her lips which he stares at occasionally despite not meaning to. He thinks they're very cute.

7. WHAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT CHANGES WHEN THEY REALIZE THEY HAVE FEELINGS FOR THE OTHER?

They get so much more awkward. Rosa never really realized their interactions might come off as romantic before Jack's confession, and after she rejects him for the first time, she instantly assumes that they will stop being friends. So any further conversations between them are very tense on her part, whereas Jack becomes more proactive in courting her which sort of flies over her head. If only Rosa would realize earlier that she returns Jack's feelings she'd have been able to just skip all the awkwardness.

8. NICKNAMES? IF SO, HOW DID THEY ORIGINATE?

I don't think they use them. At most Jack calls her Rosa, while she thinks it's too embarrassing to give him any cutesy nicknames at all. When she's older she might switch to "babe" occasionally, but generally, they prefer to use their names.

9. WHO WORRIES THE MOST?

Jack for more mundane reasons, Rosa for more jealousy-fueled ones. Jack typically is protective of his loved ones, and that is especially the case with Rosa given that her career can lead to meeting some rather seedy people which he fears might hurt or take advantage of her. Her general ditziness also tends to worry him since he's afraid she might just give in to her impulsive nature and then end up in trouble.

Rosa tends to be quite insecure about how attractive she really is - she wants to leave her cute image behind, and go for something sexier, but worries that Jack might not think of her in that way. She tends to worry that if a prettier girl came along with a better-looking body and a more mature personality, Jack might leave her. She is aware that this is pretty ridiculous as Jack is very loyal but this particular issue resurfaces often when they first start dating.

10. WHO REMEMBERS WHAT THE OTHER ONE ALWAYS ORDERS AT A RESTAURANT?

Jack. He has pretty much all of Rosa's preferences memorized and is very casual about it, which Rosa finds even more charming. On the flipside, Rosa also starts to make sure she doesn't eat food that smells particularly strong or has onions or garlic in it since Jack has shown that he hates those sorts of food.

11. WHO TOPS?

Both do, though Jack does it more often. They're both switches and Rosa especially likes to roleplay being a seductress so it usually leads to her trying to top until halfway Jack decides to take the reins. Rosa sometimes pouts because she wants to roleplay a little longer which makes Jack feel a mixture of shyness and giddiness.

12. WHO INITIATES KISSES?

Rosa! Jack tends to be quite awkward with PDA, while Rosa loves it, so she is usually the one who gets on her tiptoes and asks for kisses which Jack obliges in his usual flustered and gruff manner. Secretly he quite likes her kisses.

13. WHO REACHES FOR THE OTHER'S HAND FIRST?

Rosa does. She's very lovely-dovey by instinct and likes clinging to Jack whenever they are together, whether in public or in private, which always leaves him quite flustered. She doesn't really notice how clingy she is, however, and Jack doesn't really know whether he should tell her or not since he does not actually mind it that much.

14. WHO KISSES THE HARDEST?

Rosa. She's very passionate by nature so she channels that energy in their makeout sessions as well. Poor Jack was horribly flustered the first time it happened but is now used to it and even looks forward to it. It's nice to know that's so receptive to his feelings and that she's not as dainty as she looks. He quite likes this wild side to her.

15. WHO WAKES UP FIRST?

They're both early risers, but Jack usually wakes up first. He generally contemplates whether he should move or not, since Rosa is almost always clinging to him and while he knows she wouldn't mind, he still feels bad for waking her up intentionally. So he just sits there for about ten minutes until she comes to as well.

16. WHO WANTS TO STAY IN BED JUST A LITTLE LONGER?

Rosa. It's usually mostly because she was spoiled as a kid, but she tends to pout and whine when Jack tries to leave the bed, asking him to just stay like this for a few more moments and then they'd both get up and go for their usual morning jog. And since she always presses into him when she says this, she usually wins too.

17. WHO SAYS "I LOVE YOU" FIRST?

Jack does. It leaves her absolutely and utterly shocked, very giddy and extremely panicked because it comes after her own failed attempt to confess to Vil and she's unsure how to respond along with the fact that she doesn't want to lose Jack as a friend. So she does the only thing that comes to mind: she tries to run away but trips and sprains her ankle.

18. WHO LEAVES LITTLE NOTES IN THE OTHER ONE'S LUNCH? (BONUS: WHAT DOES IT USUALLY SAY?)

Rosa. They're mostly encouragements and nice messages for when he might be feeling down, which Jack says are 'unnecessary' but his tail starts wagging every time that he does read them to himself. Rosa asks him to leave some in her lunch too, but he's not good with words so they're not particularly romantic or cute, which does cause Rosa to pout and ask him to do better in the future.

19. WHO TELLS THEIR FAMILY/FRIENDS ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP FIRST?

I think Rosa does first because she's a bit of a blabbermouth and it just slips out whenever she's talking to anybody for more than five minutes. Jack probably takes longer since he seems like the type who'd consider that it was not anybody's problem who he does or does not date.

20. WHAT DO THEIR FAMILY/FRIENDS THINK OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP?

They're both pretty happy for them. Rosa's dad is a big fan of Jack's since he seems like a reliable sort of guy and treats his daughter respectfully, so he warms up to him almost immediately. Jack's family is a bit surprised to see Rosa the first time, but since she proves herself to be a very hardworking and genuine girl, they warm up to her as well. Jack's sister looks up to her as an older sister figure, while his brother seems to have a bit of a precocious crush on her, so they tend to steal her attention whenever she visits the Howl household much to Jack's displeasure.

21. WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO START DANCING WITH THE OTHER?

Given that Jack can't dance, it's usually Rosa that's initiating them. They generally only take place if she's in a good mood and a song she loves starts playing on the radio at which point she'll get off the bed and drag Jack along with her to dance. He usually ends up being flustered by his lack of skill which Rosa assures him it's very cute and charming.

22. WHO COOKS MORE/WHO IS BETTER AT COOKING?

Jack. Rosa is not used to cooking for herself or anybody really so most of her creations are odd and inedible at the beginning, but soon picks up the craft when it becomes obvious Jack prioritizes meat instead of vegetables and she does not consider this a healthy diet at all.

23. WHO COMES UP WITH CHEESY PICK-UP LINES?

Rosa. They're very intentionally cheesy and meant to fluster Jack, though sometimes he might turn the tables on her if he thinks she's having too much fun teasing him.

24. WHO WHISPERS INAPPROPRIATE THINGS IN THE OTHER'S EAR DURING INAPPROPRIATE TIMES?

Neither does on purpose, but Rosa might have done it a couple of times by accident. Jack only catches on after a few moments so it's quite comical to see his face turn bright red while Rosa is worrying that he might have a fever. When he asks her why she did what she did, she always turns red as well and denies having any such intentions.

25. WHO NEEDS MORE ASSURANCE?

Rosa. Despite her appearance, she's a pretty insecure girl, worried that Jack might find somebody better so needs a lot of assurance at the beginning that he loves her and doesn't find her annoying. he's not particularly good with words, so he finds it embarrassing to confess his feelings so frequently but for her sake, he makes the effort.

26. WHAT WOULD BE THEIR THEME SONG?

It would be "I Love You 3000" by Stephanie Poetri, both for the cute, soft aesthetic but also because of the movie references and the overeagerness that comes across from the singer, which matches their relationship really well.

27. WHO WOULD SING TO THEIR CHILD BACK TO SLEEP?

Rosa would since she's also pretty decent at it. She'd pick up Cesca and start singing to her all sorts of songs her father used to sing to her when she was little, while Jack would watch from the door. If Rosa can't get up to put the baby back to sleep, he'll also very awkwardly attempt the singing technique which Rosa finds very adorable and sweet.

28. WHAT DO THEY DO WHEN THEY'RE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER?

Rosa complains a lot mostly through messages. She always sends him 'good morning' and 'good evening' texts accompanied by a ton of emojis, as well as selfies and all sorts of pictures about her day and the things she's seen. This is mostly at the beginning of their relationship when they're still very much unsure how to proceed, but eventually, things calm down. Jack himself mostly just sends her messages or collects things he thinks she might like to give to her when they meet again.

29. ONE HEADCANON ABOUT THIS OTP THAT BREAKS YOUR HEART.

I think it's the very teenage way they go about things - because Rosa starts off by being in love with Vil, a childhood crush which mistakes respect for infatuation, and has her heart broken when she's rejected. Jack, meanwhile, has been working on a way to figure out his feelings for her while also attempting to confess to her but being still in "mourning" after Vil rejected her, she immediately turns him down, not because she doesn't like him, but because she's afraid that if she does become his girlfriend he'll end up being bored with her.

Post-rejection Rosa is very afraid of being rejected again so she prefers to isolate herself romantically than ever attempting it again. So the two stay in a sort of limbo for a while with their unresolved feelings.

30. ONE HEADCANON ABOUT THIS OTP THAT MENDS IT.

The fact that they work it through. Jack confirming that wolf beastmen pick one partner for life and that they're their soulmate, really helps Rosa feel more secure in starting a relationship with Jack since she feels that he must be pretty serious about her if he wants to date her. It helps ease her anxiety every time she sees that he accepts her as she is, in his own gruff way. And their relationship ends up being very healthy for both of them since they learn to open up about their feelings (Jack) and to be less anxious about their relationships (Rosa).

WNA HALLOWEEN - THE GREAT HIDE & SEEK HUNT!

HALLOWEEN INTERVIEW - ROSALIA MORGAINNE

SCENE I

[distant screaming]

ALKIN: Hm, it seems that the festivities are going quite well by the sound of it. There have been over 400 tickets sold and the students are hard at work to make sure that everything is going smoothly. That's good.

I think that you would have enjoyed this as well, Astra.

[footsteps]

... Hm. It seems that Morgainne's chamber is currently empty of visitors. I shall pay her a visit then.

[door creaking]

Greetings.

ROSA: My love- I knew you would come for me at last! Even as the years got har-

ALKIN: This is unnecessary. There are no guests here as you can see.

ROSA: Huh?! Then you aren't-

ALKIN: Hm?

ROSA: Wait! Who are you supposed to be?!

ALKIN: It's me- the Head Prefect.

ROSA: ... HUH?!

ALKIN: ?

ROSA: WAITWAITWAITWAIT- THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE! THE HEAD PREFECT IS A CAT, ISN'T HE?! THEN-

ALKIN: It's a disguise.

ROSA: Huh?

ALKIN: I suppose that you must have not been aware of it... I am, in fact, not a cat, but a nekomata. A creature that hails from the Far East with the ability to change my appearance at will. Old or young, tall or short - I can assume any form that I desire, provided that I can imagine it. What you see before you is the human form I take when interacting with large crowds. It's easier to talk to you like this since you're more likely to obey.

ROSA: Tha-That sounds kinda ominous...

ALKIN: However, Morgainne... You should have known this, as Prefect of Rosenhex, a dorm that specializes in charms and hexes.

ROSA: URGH- Um, well, I was so caught with preparations for the event and staying in character, hahahaha...

ALKIN: Hm.

ROSA: I-In any case- What do you think of our work, Head Prefect? Isn't it cool?! The vines look just like the real thing, don't they?

ALKIN: Indeed. This is charmed rope, isn't it?

ROSA: Exactly! You have an eye for this sort of thing~ It's actually the same kind of rope that they use for docking boats, so the material is extra rough to the touch! The frays that are shooting out make for the perfect base for thorns and we tied a bunch together and threw them all over the floor to imitate the real thing!

ALKIN: I see- Then the enchantment?

ROSA: It was minimal! We favoured form over function since we merely wanted to give off the illusion of plants rather than the real deal. And this way the environment doesn't get damaged either~

ALKIN: It would have taken quite a long time to get so many together, and they most likely would have dried out as well by the time the tours would have ended.

ROSA: Yep~ I kept everything in mind to make sure it all worked out~ Even Vil said he was impressed by the craftsmanship, hehe!

ALKIN: Ah, the child from Night Raven.

ROSA: We're old friends actually so I got him a ticket to come to visit us today~ Well, he and a bunch of other people came actually... It almost lead to a disaster.

ALKIN: Is that so?

ROSA: Yeah, yeah! Listen - It was a bit out of the blue but the group of people that Vil came with had Jack in it as well. It seems that they made it through really easily thanks to Jack's hearing so they ended up here much faster than I expected. I was in the middle of eating that rhubarb pie that mom brought over and got so startled I dropped some jam on my dress and face! It wasn't so bad because at least it looked like blood but-

When I began to do my act, Jack came over and picked me up to wipe it off me! He had this really pale look on his face until he realized it was just jam then he told me [You should not take jokes so far, Rosalia-sempai]! Hmph! Like he was the older one or something!

Well, at least both Vil and Yuuki praised my performance so that just shows how good of an actress I really am! Isn't that right~?

ALKIN: ... Astra always said that young love tends to be difficult.

ROSA: Huh? What that's supposed to mean?

ALKIN: Nevermind.

SCENE II

ALKIN: It seems that you have kept rather close to the ideals of the dorm when you interpreted the story of the bride and her lover. That is surprising.

ROSA: You think so? Well, to be honest, I just thought that they would fit really well together. The story of the Witch of Roses is one of love as well, isn't it?

ALKIN: Indeed, but I believe it's somewhat different.

ROSA: You think so? The way I see it they're one and the same.

ALKIN: Is that so?

ROSA: Mm! In the end, all the bride wanted was to reunite with her beloved and live happily ever after, but since that couldn't be she decided to join him in the afterlife instead. It's kind of melancholic, but it's the happy end she was hoping for. Same with the Witch!

ALKIN: Oh?

ROSA: I think, in the end, all the Witch wanted was to reunite with Mother Sea but since that couldn't happen she resigned herself to her fate just like the bride did. All they wanted was to be happy in life, but since that wasn't possible for the moment they sought happiness somewhere else.

I like to think that the bride and the Witch were both reunited in the end with their loved ones, even if it's just a childish wish.

ALKIN: Hm.

ROSA: I-Is there something weird about what I said?

ALKIN: No, I was merely contemplating on the innocence of children.

ROSA: CHILDREN?! I know I said it was childish but still- That was too cruel Head Prefect! I think I prefer you in cat form actually.

ALKIN: As I told you before, I am not a cat but a nekomata.

Still, that you hold such childish ideals even now... It is rather charming I would have to say.

ROSA: Somehow I don't think that's true...

SCENE III

ALKIN: Your make-up.

ROSA: Ye-Yes?

ALKIN: It's quite well done. You truly give off the impression of a deceased bride that has mourned her beloved to death.

ROSA: Right~? Actually, it was my mom who did it for me! You see, she's a professional make-up artist who worked on a lot of big movie sets! Her forte is as a SFX make-up artist who specializes in horror movies!

ALKIN: SFX?

ROSA: Special effects! You know the stuff that they pile on the actor that plays the monster to make him look even scarier!

ALKIN: ... Hm, I thought those were the real deal.

ROSA: Wha- No way! Those sort of monsters only exist in fantasy, right? No way would they be real! You're trying to pull my leg, aren't you? Head Prefect?

ALKIN: ...

ROSA: A-Anyway... Since mom heard that we'll be doing this sort of thing, she decided to come over and help us out. Isn't she great?

ALKIN: A warm and welcoming home does often bring up healthy and strong children, that is true.

ROSA: Hm, dunno about strong but my dad always says that I had the health of an ox! A really cute one! I've never caught a cold in my life!

ALKIN: ... There's an old saying... No, never mind. It seems that you have been enjoying yourself today, child.

ROSA: Yeah! It's been really fun, to be honest! Getting to play this scary role and make everybody tremble in fear- I feel like I'm getting closer to my ideal! Hehe, Halloween is really the best!

ALKIN: I see that you are really fond of this human festivity. How curious. Is there something really so enchanting about being haunted and harassed by ghosts?

ROSA: Ha-Harassed... I don't think that's the case, haha. But- I've always liked Halloween since I was a kid! The celebrations in the Rose Kingdom have always been so much fun!

ALKIN: Really?

ROSA: Mm! My mom and dad would usually take me to the funfest that took place in the town plaza and where they would organize all sorts of activities! Like apple bobbing and pumpkin carving!

ALKIN: Hm, what odd activities-

ROSA: They're really fun! My dad is actually a pro at apple bobbing and my mom made the cutest carved pumpkins for me when I was little! I really liked watching her at work. She turns super cool when she'll concentrate like that! My dad would always get soaking wet and get a cold, but I was always fine, you know~

ALKIN: ...

ROSA: Well, I say that but my actual favourite thing to do was nut-cracking!

ALKIN: A new ridiculous thing has appeared.

ROSA: It's not ridiculous at all! It's actually super romantic! You see, nut-cracking is when you place two nuts over the roasting fire and give them names! Then you wait to see which cracks first and that's how you know who your true love is supposed to be!

ALKIN: I see... And then?

ROSA: Then, um, I guess you eat them?

ALKIN: You're unsure?

ROSA: ... Um, truth is... mine... mine never cracked. Even though I only picked Vil's name...

ALKIN: Hm?

ROSA: NE-NEVER MIND! UM! I-I think the next group of people might come up, so-

ALKIN: I hear no footsteps.

ROSA: AAAAAAH, HEAD PREFECT PLEASE GET A CLUE ALREADY!

[door slams]

ALKIN: Hmph, what a strong-willed girl.

... But I suppose that is what a witch should be after all.
