[You've been putting off some work for ages and today is the day you are finally DEFINITELY going to do it. Nothing is going to distra-oh fuck there's Marisa with a bottle.]

Heeeey, buddy! I'm bored, lets go get plastered!

-2-

[Some of your stuff has gone missing, so of course the first place you go to check is Marisa's place.]

Sup?

[How can you doubt that innocent grin?]

Master SPAAAAARK!

[Need I say more?]

I'm sure someone will tag 3

[not_good_not_wicked]

Why ask me? Did someone take your pudding?

[One (1) empty pudding cup quickly hidden behind Marisa.]

[karuta]

. . .

[nods]

[stomach gurgles pathetically]

[not_good_not_wicked]

H-hey, that wasn't your whole lunch was it?

[karuta]

[thoughtful] Hmmm...

. . .

...I'm not sure...which meal... [tilts head to side]

[not_good_not_wicked]

[Quietly magicking the empty pudding cup inside.]

Lunch, but forget about that. Let's just go into town and get something.

[karuta]

[Too observant not to hear something being whisked inside, but then you have her attention again] . . .

You'd...treat me...?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Well I never said that. I bet there'll be SOMEONE around who can treat us if we bug them enough, though.

[karuta]

[blinks slowly] . . .

Fried...soba noodles... [gazing into space, apparently okay as long as food is at the end of everything]

[not_good_not_wicked]

Alright let's go!

[At a gesture, Marisa's broom zips over to her like an obedient puppy. She mounts it and takes off. You can fly too, right Karuta?]

[watching Marisa disappear into the sky





...Oh hey, if this is Gensokyo, then

she has nothing to hide so

yeah why not--]

[2/2]

[karuta]

[An ominous skeleton 15 times the size of a human is catching up behind your broom, Marisa, looming after and leaving a trail of purple smoggy aura behind it.]

A human who...can fly...? [Her voice is warped and echoes like a large cavern.]

[not_good_not_wicked]

[Marisa shakes off the weird ringing noise in her ears and glances behind her to see OH FUCK GIANT SKELETON!]

Of course I can- What the heck!?

[karuta]

[Keeps looming after... its enormous jaw crickity-cricks open and closed vaguely whenever she speaks]

I thought you...might be a youkai...

There was a...smell, or something...

[not_good_not_wicked]

No, I'm just an ordinary magician.

Now go take a more reasonable form or you'll send the village into a panic and we'll NEVER get our lunch!

[1/2]

[karuta]

Okay...

[Welp, she'll need to just hover closer and over Marisa--]

[2/2]

[karuta]

[--so she can dissipate back into human form and land right behind Marisa's seat, hugging her middle so she stays on.] Can I have a ride, then...?

[not_good_not_wicked]

[Creepy.]

Yeah. Sure.

[karuta]

[creepier than the gigantic flying skeleton?

what a lovely view...] You're better than...the other 'ordinary' magician's I've seen...

[not_good_not_wicked]

That's cuz most magicians don't have their hearts in it.
