Apropos of Nothing

[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?]

Comments

I would do 3, but I have no idea what powers Karuta has in her other form, so [2]

[karuta]

[Look at these puppy eyes look at them]

...My pudding...

Do you...have it?

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.]

3

[Yuyuko has barely any time to react before getting a lazer to the face. While she's looking a little singed around the edges she isn't down for the count quite yet]

You may have a powerful toy but you've left yourself open.

[A small swarm of butterflies materializes around her as she moves to make her counter attack]

[not_good_not_wicked]

Heh, go ahead and play around with your tricks all you want. The only thing that trumps power is more power!

Master-

[Is she going to...]

[ex_bloomnobly385]

[The swarm only grows larger and whirls around her before shooting directly for Marisa]

Repository of Hirokawa!

[karuta]

. . .

[nods]

[stomach gurgles pathetically]

[not_good_not_wicked]

SPAAAAAARK!

[Yup there she goes again. The second spark might be a bit smaller than the first, but it's still ludicrous in power, and smashes straight through the middle of Yuyuko's spell card just a split second before the first wave of danmaku reached Marisa herself. Now it's just a matter of whether she can dodge the bullets around the edge of the ghost princess's attack that weren't hit by the master spark.]

[ex_bloomnobly385]

[She's a little more prepared for it this time and the bolt just barely grazes the back of her robe. It seems doubtful that she'll be able to keep this up much longer]

[not_good_not_wicked]

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

[not_good_not_wicked]

[Two of them back to back seems to be her limit for now. Marisa flies into the hole her laser created just as danmaku fills the space she had been previously. She keeps up the offensive, though, with a much more modest spray of star shaped shots.]

[ex_bloomnobly385]

[Even if they're not as powerful they're definitely faster and Yuyuko can only escape the first few shots before being showered by bullets]

[not_good_not_wicked]

[She pulls to a stop, hovering on her broom as she catches her breath.]

Hah...hah...Give up yet?

[karuta]

[thoughtful] Hmmm...

. . .

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

[ex_bloomnobly385]

[She takes a much less aggressive stance and brushes off her shirt before smiling up at Marisa]

I concede. You would obviously keep fighting until you could barely stand.

Besides,it's just about lunchtime.

[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.

[not_good_not_wicked]

[And suddenly all the tension in the atmosphere is gone.]

Sweet! I've always wanted to know what kind of crazy food they eat in the afterlife.

[ex_bloomnobly385]

It's certainly no stranger than the food you eat in the living world.

[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]

[Following her back.]

Yeah but I'll never KNOW unless I go to see for myself.

[After a moment she stops.]

Say, this isn't one of those kinds of things where if I eat food from the afterlife I can never come back to Earth, is it?

[ex_bloomnobly385]

What? Of course not. I've eaten food from the living and I can still quite comfortably return home.

[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?]

[not_good_not_wicked]

[back to following]

Look you never know with that kind of thing.

[ex_bloomnobly385]

You have my word.
