Oh, bother, this again... really, some of the re-runs can be quite disappointing.

[ But she definitely learnt from last year, and as such. IS ARMED WITH A BOOK. ]

I do hope everyone is quite alright, and not too... traumatised, I suppose! This really isn't quite so terrible, as long as people have brushed their teeth!

Now if only I could get

action; backdating like a pro..

[reversetheremix]

[ Chilling out in the square because the shop is covered in mistletoe and two flat-chested girls with a penchant for beating the crap out of him lurk there in the night. Peas in a pod, really. One he'd much rather stay out of. Besides, he needs to pick something up for Ichigo... ]

action; I see you thar

[roseblooms]

[ And here she's ducking under the awning of a shop, the book 'dismissed' for a bit as she catches her breath. She hasn't noticed Shinji yet, or his signature, but--

Breath, first. Greetings later. ]

...there wasn't even any mistletoe for that to have been an excuse. Bollocks...

[ She seems to be speaking to her phone, la la la ... ]

action; or not fff sorry ):

[reversetheremix]

[ And since his sensitive ears catch a familiar voice, he scans the area with his senses, ignoring the obvious in lieu of niches first. Ah - she seems a little more disheveled than usual, but he grins and calls out once he's closer. ]

Yo, Megumi-chan! Been a while... rough time at work?

action; my rabu ;; 1/2

[roseblooms]

[ She's not paying attention. Absolutely not, why, if she were, she wouldn't have been so startled when Shinji approached, and she certainly wouldn't have swung out the hand with her medical journal and--

Ow, his face had better be insured. ]

[roseblooms]

[ Quickly dismissing the book and her device, she finally sees who it is, and reaches out to grab Shinji by the shoulders ]

I'm so sorry! Oh, Shinji, you startled me there, luv! Are you alright?

action; 1/3

[reversetheremix]

[ His face isn't insured, it just abruptly stops bleeding because it has to - otherwise it'd never stop. Still, he clutches it out of habit while she has his shoulders. ]

Real rough...

[ Love is cruel... ]

internal lightbulb;

[reversetheremix]

[ ...YET KIND!! She's concerned with the state of his face, never mind that it'd been she who'd sledgehammered him~!! ]

action;

[reversetheremix]

[ Okay it's all good, he's stopped bleeding and is facing her now. ]

... Forgot you had that reflex.

action;

[roseblooms]

Aheh... didn't need it until now, you see.

[ Sob she's been on edge, okay. And she draws a hand up to cover his own, letting her fingers move over his and her ability dissolve whatever blood was there, letting it disintegrate. ]

I'm still sorry. That must smart quite a bit, eh?

[ She smiles sheepishly, still looking up at him and making sure his face isn't broken. ]

Been a while since I've needed to do that, though!

[reversetheremix]

[ Aw but he likes that healing trick. Every thing is working right, check. ]

Don't worry 'bout it. This curse ain't for everyone what a lotta people might think it's cracked up to be...

[ He's reminded of Hiyori and Tatsuki yelling at him all day and ... ugh ... before he glances around and shrugs. ]

This part of town seems pretty clear so far. Where you headin'?

action;

[roseblooms]

[ Finally drawing her hands down, she moves them behind her back, smiling up at him. ]

Home, of course. Though any time I stop anywhere, I get a pleasant reminder that I oughtn't have.

[ She's just a while away from her -actual- place but needs to head to Building 1 so no one follows her to it, anyway. ]

Bet the ladies haven't stopped wanting an excuse to be under the mistletoe with you either, eh?

action;

[reversetheremix]

[ Doesn't seem like a pleasant reminder at all. As for his experience with this curse... ]

Hmm, me?

[ aaand now his smile turns bitter-creepy ]

Ain't in the habit of tellin'. [ lmao zero ] Still got a couple errands to run though. Bankin' on it being clear enough for now.
