[Action - School]

[It's lunch time and Marisa has just managed to escape a gaggle of drone girls that had been intent on acquiring gossip about her 'boyfriend'. Once free, she finds herself a tree in the school yard to climb and enjoy her lunch in. So what if she's in a dress and if one stands at the right angle they might catch a glimpse of her panties? She's pretty sure her drone 'friends' won't find her in a tree.

Clearly she shouldn't be allowed to eat in peace, right?]



[Phone]

[One very annoyed witch picks up the phone after she gets home from school.]

Look. I don't care what anyone says, I'm not dating Guy 'Mustang'. You all probably know him as Guy of the Kutolah. And just because he calls me Lady Marisa and I'm at his house once or twice a week doesn't mean we're dating.

If I have to hear those damn girls ask me one more time about how 'hunky' he is, the Bowl-o-Rama, and if we're going up to Makeout Point anytime soon, I'm quite possibly going to set them all on fire. Besides, I'm already seeing someone that's not Guy.

So, if you hear anyone talking about that me-dating-Guy crap? Don't believe 'em.

I'm gonna hold you to that, ze.

Anyways... One of the aspects of the curse was me hearing voices constantly. Trying to break me down into nothing. One of the things they liked to tell me over and over and over and over and over was that Patchy was only ever interested in my magic - never in me. That I was just some kind of fascinating magical experiment regarding humans and magic that she was observing.

That she cared nothing for me.
That without the magic, I was nothing.

That sounds creepy. [ And, momentarily, she's reminded of when she had all those emotions pulling her in every-which-way, and she shuddered. ]

[ Upbeat. ] It's a good thing you didn't listen, because those voices were wrong! That doesn't sound anything like what Miss Patchouli is like at all.

I know. But I went a couple weeks like that. And to make it worse, I'd secluded myself away from everyone because of other parts of the curse. So the only thing I really heard, were those voices.

...I went a little mad. [Which is different than insane, for the record.] And I'm not completely over it, ze. I just fake it really well.

[not_so_great_wall]

I can't really tell. [ A pause. ] Then again, we never talked much before coming here, so it could be I just don't know what to look out for!

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah... So don't go telling people, ze.

[not_so_great_wall]

I already said I wouldn't! Give me some credit, Marisa. I'm not about to blabbing people's secrets out.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

And yet if Patchy hadn't already told me about that boy you just would have blabbed hers.

[not_so_great_wall]

She didn't tell me I couldn't tell anyone. [ As simple as that. ] You're not making the fact you're dating her a secret, either, are you?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I'm not, but Patchy hasn't told Remilia yet. So I dunno...

[not_so_great_wall]

--that's not going to be good. [ And yes, now Meiling sounds nervous all of a sudden. WONDER WHY. ]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Not if she finds out before Patchy tells her.

...not that it'll be good when she does tell her.

[not_so_great_wall]

I think the longer you wait, the worse it'll be. The Mistress hates when people keep secrets from her. [ Number one reason why Meiling pretty much keeps zero of her own. Not worth the risk. ]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I know, but it's not my place to tell her.

[not_so_great_wall]

Oh, no no no, if you told her, I think she'd flip her hat.

[ Mumbling ] Does she even have her hat back? I should check...

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

And she'd never believe me.

[not_so_great_wall]

Haha, you're probably right about that.
