[gurl she ain't gonna read all that shit]

Is your keyboard broken? There are a lot of people here that are good with that kind of thing, so I bet someone could fix it for you, if you asked.

[Kenzi flips on the video and waves at the camera. She turns and looks around the room for something to show off with. Oh hey, books will do.

She turns the camera toward a stack of books which immediately float up into the air and began flapping around like they're birds.

wisecracked: (☠ Well I've been running from something)

[personal profile] wisecracked 2012-09-03 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Kenzi gave a shrug as she sent a couple balls up into the air where they started doing figure eights. "You could say that."

oh...my...god YESSSSSS

[Aschka has the video turned on and she's just kind of staring at her screen through squinted eyes. What the hell is she reading?]

Are you oh and bee buttons broken?

...No wait the bee can't be broken you used it.
wisecracked: (☠ My will to quickly end it all)

[personal profile] wisecracked 2012-09-03 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You should really pay less attention to the paper and more attention to your breakfast Kankri. Because guess what. That plate of food is now floating over to Kenzi.

Parents? [She stresses the s at the end, a little confused by the question. She was supposed to have more than one parent? Her father's father was probably the closest thing to another parent, but she didn't really consider him secondary father or whatever. Isao had been kind of a jerk, anyway.]

I only have one parent. It was... nice. He gives me everything that I want, and all he used to want from me was to train and defeat his enemies.

Up until he sent me here, anyway.
black_lily: (Entirely too much stupid going on here.)

[Action] Ayaka is a terrible person I'm sorry

[personal profile] black_lily 2012-09-03 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ayaka had been about to stomp on the aforementioned spider... up until that weird bug girl suddenly dived in the way]

Ugh...

[Well, if she couldn't stomp on the spider, she might as well plant her foot on one of those bugs she could see scurrying about on the disgusting (in her opinion, anyway) blonde]

[Is Mr. Ukitake kidding? He really wants him to contribute or participate? Oh, if only he could contribute by staying in his room and reading the story instead.]

I really don't know how I could contribute, sir. My talents are rather limited.

Yuugi Hoshiguma - Touhou

[personal profile] growing_pains 2012-09-03 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Action ]
[ For such a big and loud presence on campus, Yuugi is being kind of quiet at the moment. Seated on a bench outdoors, her bag open beside her, she has a rag in hand as she commences polishing her horn.

—that isn't a euphemism, guys. She is literally polishing that big, red, 10" unicorn-like protrusion from her forehead. Get your minds outta the gutter. :| ]


[ Prose ]

"Wow, that's a really cute dress!" Yuugi exclaimed. Either it was to the girl at the party that she was just macking on chatting with, or about one that passed by as she was talking to someone else entirely.

Or maybe she just announced it, loudly, for everyone in the immediate area to hear. It's your call. She's had a few drinks at this shindig already, which is about what the average high school kid would already be shitface by, and she's just a bit tipsy. Not that she keeps her trap shut even when she's sober.

She sighs wistfully, leaning back against the doorway that she's totally blocking. Six-foot-five and built like a brick wall means that, occasionally, she emulates such a structure without meaning. There's no way you're getting in or out without poking her. "Ahh, I haven't worn a dress like that in so long..."

[personal profile] crabtasticsentinel 2012-09-03 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, yes, Aschka is fairly used to seeing weird things. After all she is a fish (shark) girl. But polishing horn? Yeah that ranks up there on the weird meter.

Not that it stops her from bouncing over to settle on the other end of the bench.
]

Do you do that often?
growing_pains: ([31] Grinning like a fool)

[personal profile] growing_pains 2012-09-03 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yuugi grins at the company, but doesn't stop. ] Only when it gets dirty.

[personal profile] crabtasticsentinel 2012-09-03 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you do that makes it dirty? [How does a horn even get dirty?]
diseasing: (concern ☣ anxiously)

[personal profile] diseasing 2012-09-03 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey— What are you doing?!

[She does an admirable job of grabbing hold of Ayaka's foot, the visible spiders promptly scurrying out of the way, under the collar and cuffs of her shirt or into her hair. At the moment, at least, Yamame is more surprised than angry or upset.]

Those are— Leave them alone!
sou_kigetsuki: (What?! You lied to me?!)

[personal profile] sou_kigetsuki 2012-09-03 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[His jaw drops in disbelief and rolls his eyes with a scoff. Sou's voice is deadpan, he leans over his desk with a groan.]

You're kidding me. You mean I have to deal with someone that's going to use subpar products that I'll have to spend hours scrubbing off? That's just...that's GROSS!
green_eyed: (Would you shut up already?)

[personal profile] green_eyed 2012-09-04 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
"It's something SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" Parsee snapped, trying desperately to hide the book she had.
green_eyed: (fuck right off my bridge)

[personal profile] green_eyed 2012-09-04 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
"I didn't ask your name. Just who you were. If you know what's good for you, you'll fuck off." Parsee spat, going back to her hammering. Closed off, to say the least... and generally putting on an air far more threatening than a girl her size should be capable of.
green_eyed: (no just stop talking)

[personal profile] green_eyed 2012-09-04 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... That's neat. I guess. -Jealous...-
green_eyed: (D-DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT!)

[prose] 1/2

[personal profile] green_eyed 2012-09-04 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
... She did it. She really did it. The entire time, Parsee sat there, slack-jawed and red as a beat. Yuugi went and said it. Out loud. Where everyone could hear. And there was no confusion as to who he was talking about. She... she...
green_eyed: (HEY!!)

[personal profile] green_eyed 2012-09-04 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Fuck this.

"Get out of the fucking way, I'm going back to my room."

Bad move, Yuugi. Bad. Move.
sogyo_no_kotowari: (dance with me)

[personal profile] sogyo_no_kotowari 2012-09-04 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
You can sing.
sogyo_no_kotowari: (you're killing my whole zen thing)

[personal profile] sogyo_no_kotowari 2012-09-04 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
You can bring your own stuff, but you're applying it yourself.
sogyo_no_kotowari: (to turn my back)

[personal profile] sogyo_no_kotowari 2012-09-04 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Just... help support my weight. I'm sorry about this..." Not that it seemed like he had interrupted anything besides a snack and some people watching, but he still felt bad.
diseasing: (surprise ☣ uncertainty)

[personal profile] diseasing 2012-09-04 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Wow, you're really touchy today," she said, not sounding the least bit surprised or bothered. Really, her tone made it sound more like a comment on the weather than anything. She stopped trying to peek at the book quite so blatantly, though she didn't straighten up at all, leaving her in an odd position where she half-hung off the top of the bookshelf. "Is it really that embarrassing?"
sogyo_no_kotowari: (a matter of pride)

[personal profile] sogyo_no_kotowari 2012-09-04 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
-Well at least SOMEONE can look past his quirk-

To be honest, I'm not fond of the idea, but it's hard to plan for a worst case scenario when so many people are clamoring for some sort of solution. Registration might not be it. Especially with a lack of mutant representation in government. But no one seems to be presenting other solutions.
wisecracked: (☠ You make me smile)

[personal profile] wisecracked 2012-09-04 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[She turns the camera back to herself and grins.] You guess? Man you must have some epic powers then.
