Yeah, actually. Cause I know I'm a giant pain in the ass.

[ex_seventh238]

[you can get a straight answer at the cost of a headpat. C'mere.] Of course, like everyone else whom I've got a chance to meet and get close to in town. Hehe, were you actually worried?

[adropofjupiter]

[The headpat is begrudgingly accepted, though she frowns at the answer.]

Yeah... So I'm just like everyone else?

[ex_seventh238]

That's not right either. I'll never meet another girl as troublesome as you.

[...]

That airhead vampire set aside.

[adropofjupiter]

Hee~ [It seems Marisa is accepting of that.]

You think we'll remember any of this when it's all over?

[ex_seventh238]

If I were to really raise a girl, she'll never turn out even remotely close to being as much of a handful as you've been! [ciel stop encouraging marisa...

but okay after a soft thoughtful hum:]


...Mm. It's unlikely.

[Marisa rolls onto her stomach and rests her chin on her hands, looking at Ciel with a Grin. that is all. JUST A GRIN. Like the icon which is why I'm using this account for this post]

i see...

[ex_seventh238]

[raising an eyebrow....

Yes you might as well have it written on your forehead in bold neon, young lady. Ciel doesn't look particularly rattled, but DOES SHE WANT TO KNOW...]

...What is it?

[adropofjupiter]

So... if we're not gonna remember and it's the end, you should just do it, ze. JUST ONCE. Just once, ze. And I'll let it be...

[gets up and starts picking up the empty cans marisa's left strewn on the roof...]

It's been a good talk, but I have to get dinner started now. Try to get back inside in an hour, Mari. Understood?

[this is ciel ollieing out]

[adropofjupiter]

Hey, hey, hey! Stop trying to deny that attraction is there! I can see it plain as day! And it's adorable. Come on, Ciel. Just once. ONCE! And neither of you are going to remember when this is over.

[Marisa ships it so hard.]

I guarantee she'll turn bright red, stutter and then take off afterward, but there will be that moment. Can't you just... give in for once? What's it going to hurt?

[Following after. CIEL ISN'T GETTING AWAY.]

[ex_seventh238]

[nope nope nope NOPE NOPE you already got her to tell you what happened to elesia YOU HAVE OVERSTEPPED ENOUGH MISS KIRISAME]

Just because someone feeds a stray cat and looks after it occasionally doesn't mean anything. And I've already seen her like that when she heard the boy she likes loves her back. Take these goggles elsewhere, young lady. I'm busy.

[nope dropping those cans off by the back and entering the kitchen through the back door. ...Careful to not get caught by it closing, by the way!]

[adropofjupiter]

[Oh, she slips inside before the door closes like the thief she is.]

And I've seen that same look on her face when talking about you. [Arc was drunk at the time but DETAILS.] I've seen you and her, ze. Why do you keep denying there's something there?

You've got nothing to lose by just kissing her once. ONCE. And it doesn't even have to involved tongue. Though you are more than welcome to take it that far...

[ex_seventh238]

[calmly

starts

that chicken noodle soup

with the alphabet noodles]

She was never meant to have human emotions. Put her in a helpless state where the surroundings are always shifting, of course she'll come to rely and get attached at anything steady. Your presence included. [kitchen tinkering noises go here...] I'm not denying anything, it's your teenage girl hormones talking. Why don't you go to bed early tonight? Maybe you can will yourself to dream absolute nonsense from happening.

[adropofjupiter]

And why do you keep denying you have them, ze? [Marisa pops up to sit on the counter nearby.] Don't you want a moment of happiness, of closeness? I know you're not a teenager anymore but you're body is locked as one. You can't claim it's my hormones, ze. You've got the same ones.

...what's it gonna hurt, really?

[ex_seventh238]

I don't, you're confusing denial with your own expectations. [Getting the ingredients out and the stuff she needs to have this ready...] I'm perfectly okay the way I already am, Marisa. It's one thing to voice what you think is best for someone else, even if it's wrong, but it becomes rude when you try to force that opinion onto them.

[adropofjupiter]

There's one thing wrong with all that, ze. You're not saying the things that would get me to leave this alone.

Sometimes the things you don't say tell me more than the things you do say.

[ex_seventh238]

[getting started on the veggies...]

You don't seem willing to leave it alone no matter what I say or how I keep quiet, so I doubt that I have a choice either way.

[adropofjupiter]

You know, I'd think by now you'd realize that I actually listen to reason and logic if it's presented to me in a respectful manner, ze.

No one ever really thinks, after I've borrowed something, if they just go 'can I have that back' instead of going off the handle with me, I'm more likely to give it back.

Just sayin'.

[ex_seventh238]

[She chuckles faintly while she keeps cooking.]

There's nothing logical or reasonable about what you're asking to begin with, though, so of course that won't work out.

[adropofjupiter]

And yet, from what I've seen, I've observed and the answers I've gotten from various questions, it is logical and reasonable to me.

[ex_seventh238]

With how much you've altered the chemical balance within your own body, your idea of logic is likely quite removed from the norm.

[adropofjupiter]

You know... I haven't been high once while here that wasn't because of bad milk. Do you have any idea how much it sucks not to be able to take a vacation from my own mind? I'd have killed for the damn town to give me my mushrooms back.

And that's a poor rebuttal, ze. Try again.

[ex_seventh238]

Definitely at least somewhat, actually. I'm quite grateful to the first magus who came up with self-hypnosis and put it to use. And if you just asked me, I would have went to trade some back at the Post Office in your place.

It'll have to be from another angle, hm.
