[A. Action - Downtown]

[Marisa has a bag of groceries in hand and the top thing in her bag is an open container of mushrooms. As she heads back to the residential areas, she munches on the mushrooms like they're candy.

And she's giggling.]

[B. Action - 340 Brady Lane]

[Marisa's bustling about the kitchen, looking oddly domestic with a frilly apron on and her hair pulled back, as she cooks. There's a couple containers of mushrooms set out, one opened and half eaten.]

... You stole it, didn't you?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Um. It's not like I can buy it here. I tried. They said no. So I got it anyways, ze.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Well, they're drones, so I can't care that much.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Exactly! [Marisa starts looking for glasses to put the wine in that are a little nicer than water glasses. She's trying for some class here...]

Oh, hey, gotta question for you. How often do you read to Gilgamesh?

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Generally, whenever he asks if I'm not otherwise busy. I don't keep it to a schedule.

[She glances over her shoulder with a raised eyebrow.]

You let him sit in your lap? [maaaaybe a little girlfriend possessiveness/jealousy there.]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

He's a child. What's more, he insisted.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Only because he wants to be a child. I know he has an adult form, ze.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

When he is a child, he is definitely a child. When he is an adult, he's a pompous monster. But as a child, there is a clear difference in his personality. It is not simply a physical change.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Ah. I thought it was just a physical change. That explains why he didn't match up with they way he's portrayed in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

[She comes over with glasses and pours the wine.]

So what did he do to make you terrified of his adult form? [serious girlfriend mode]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

It was nothing he did, really. Just something I sense.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it? I'm going to assume it's not his enormous power level...

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

His personality, really. His arrogance is tremendous, but it's made all the more real when backed by his power. It's that feeling that he has both the ability and the willingness to make anything, or anyone, his.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Well, he can't have you; you're mine. [She gently caresses Patchouli's cheek.] And if he ever does something like that, I'll stop him.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

I doubt he wants me beyond having someone to read to him. He may even want me as a friend. I'm never certain with him.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Just making sure you knew, ze. He's kind of a dick to me, but we didn't exactly meet under the best circumstances.

He has offered to fight me. I'm considering it if he agrees to danmaku.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Don't! Don't you dare!

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Why? He said he won't hurt me because it'd make you mad.

...though he's got Reimu's level of luck, so I'll probably lose. [which sucks]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... He said that?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Why are you surprised? He seems fond of you.

[Clearly Marisa doesn't like this fondness, but she's dealing.]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Why would he be fond of me?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...why wouldn't he?

[Really, Patchouli, asking MARISA that question?]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... Nevermind. But I don't think he appreciates me in the way you're thinking. I'm merely amusing to him.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I'll like it better if I'm wrong, ze. Then I can stop being jealous and stuff.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... Jealous? You?
