[Marisa's not exactly sounding like herself today. In fact, she sounds a little freaked out though her voice is quiet.]

Um... What, uh... What happens when... ah. What happens when drones, um.... die?


[1125 Taylor (action)]

[Anyone passing by 1125 Taylor might notice the front door is half open and there sun reflects off of something thick and red dripping slowly down it.

[OOC WARNING: Marisa is now suffering the Postman's Curse for breaking into the post office. Any characters coming to 1125 Taylor may be subjected to bodily injury should they have physical contact with Marisa. PM me for more details if needed.]

...where were you investigating?

[There's a sinking feeling in the pit of Sakuya's stomach. She has a feeling she knows, but she's hoping she's wrong.]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[She shrinks down some. She knows she wasn't supposed to go to it - Alice had told her not to - but they hadn't done any exchanges or made any agreements...]

Post office.

[perfectandelegant]

[Just what Sakuya had been afraid of.]

...tell me that you didn't know beforehand what that place does normally.

[Not bloody likely. She sighs, extending a hand to the witch.]

You need to go back over there and give back that magic.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I knew not to make deals! I didn't make any and rita said no.

...I just looked around inside. Had a good plan. Was invisible.

[She takes Sakuya's hand and pulls herself out from under the table. Welcome to some nasty abdominal pains, maid.]

[perfectandelegant]

[The moment Marisa's out from under the table, Sakuya doubles over in pain. She drops the glass of water she'd still been holding, and it shatters against the floor.]

...you...what?

[If she wasn't too busy feeling like she'd been stabbed in the gut, she'd be chewing you out, witch.]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

S-Sakuya? Are you... okay?

[perfectandelegant]

[No, she's not okay; she's fallen to her knees, one hand wrapped across her belly. She'd normally be able to bear it enough to say what's wrong, but right now is not one of those times.]

...no. Feels like - like someone stabbed me...

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Marisa is now on her knees looking for blood.]

You're not bleeding...

[So she raises her hand, it glows a bright yellow, and a powerful healing spell settles over the maid.]

[perfectandelegant]

[That's better. Much better. She's able to get to her feet again a moment later.]

...I'm surprised I wasn't. I don't -- wait.

...you went into the post office and came out with things. That...probably means they still want payment from you. Of some sort. Could've cursed you...

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...I'm not giving him anything. The man is creepy.

[perfectandelegant]

I won't deny that the idea isn't the most pleasant one. But...

[She braces, then holds her hand out.]

Touch it again. See what happens.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...no.

[perfectandelegant]

...do it. I'm serious.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Marisa backs away.]

No.

[perfectandelegant]

[You've left her no choice. She's just going to step up and forcibly take Marisa's hand.]

...you need to see what you're doing by letting this continue. I'm not doing it to hurt, I'm trying to make you see the problem.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Damnit! She wasn't fast enough to get away that time. Marisa's eyes widen as slashes appear on Sakuya's extremities... her arms first and then her legs. That scent of blood is in her nose again.

And she struggles to get free the moment they appear to the point that she'll send a blast of force magic at the maid to knock her back if she has to.]

Lemme go!

[perfectandelegant]

[And she does, that extra bit of force magic sending her to the ground.]

...you don't want to do it, but you need to give it up, Marisa. What if you did this to someone else? Alice, or Patchouli-sama, or imouto-sama? Better me that gets hurt than any of them. I can handle it. But I'm not going to sit here and let you make excuses and hurt one of them.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[One wide-eyed witch for a bit and then she uses that healing magic, it's bright yellow light and amazing power healing the maid so she doesn't have a scratch on her.

Give it up? Give THIS magic up?]

No... no... I earned it, damnit. I'll... I'll find a way!

[perfectandelegant]

In that case, there's nothing more I can do, other than warn everyone to keep away from you. Because at the rate you're going, you're going to kill someone. Someone real.

[And she dusts her hands off. She's done here. And she has the hard job of telling one little vampire that she can't play with her witch friend right now.]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I just... need to not touch anyone until I find a way around this. There has to be something. Rita's not hurting anyone and she got magic from there too. We split it.

[perfectandelegant]

...stop deluding yourself, Miss Witch.

[And she's out the door.]
