Parsee slammed the hammer down a bit harder than she needed to, shooting a glare at the boy.

"Look. You're Japanese, right? Then I don't need to tell you what I'm doing. So leave me alone!"

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

It doesn't have to be on stage. Your voice can carry just fine.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

... "Miss Kurodani, are your, uh... friends with you? Right now?" Jyuushirou's voice was quiet enough as it was, but this was definitely what one would considered a frightened hush.

[wisecracked]

You're like, really high strung or something aren't you?

[diseasing]

"Hm... Maybe. Some of them are, at least. Do you want to meet them?"

Despite her reply, his tone was not lost on her. But there was a reason she had steadily amassed a reputation for herself...

[diseasing]

"I don't need to know. I'm just curious."

That was when she hoped down from her perch, landing firmly and gracefully beside Parsee. If she had intended to try to escape, it seemed Yamame had plans to follow.

"You're being re-e-eally suspicious, though. If you wanted to hide it so badly, why not just lie to me?"

[diseasing]

[Yamame lets her go. She lets her go so hard she shoves her back as she does so, quickly straightening up again. She isn't very tall at all, and she's obviously angry.]

If you want to do me a favor, go catch me a few grasshoppers and treat my friends to lunch for what you just tried to do.

[diseasing]

That reply didn't seem to discourage her at all. Rather than leaving him to himself, she jumped down from the shelf she had been crouching on to get closer. If he was at a table, she was now standing on it, and if he wasn't she was doing something equally obnoxious and obstructive. A spider fell from the inside of her skirt and promptly crawled back up her leg. "Tell me what you're reading first."

[black_lily]

[Ayaka stumbled back a bit, almost falling over but managing to catch her balance]

Your friends? You should do yourself a favor and visit pest control, then maybe you could find some real friends!

[As if you had many friends with your attitude, Ayaka]

[Yamame, for her part, has parked her tiny butt in the grass nearby. It seems like she's taking the opportunity to let her friends get some air, as there are a number of spiders rather blatantly crawling around on the exterior of her clothes.]

I think you missed a spot.

[Business as usual, apparently.]

[diseasing]

[Ugh, she is so tempted to "curse" her right now...]

You don't know anything. Maybe you should try actually having friends before you start talking about who and what other people call theirs.

Ayaka totally deserves to be cursed

[black_lily]

That-[Even if Yamame had a point, she wasn't going to admit to that]

[Also, still, ew spider friends?]

I still know what is a friend better than you do.

Ezio Auditore | Assassin's Creed

[vendicativo]

[Prose]

There was nothing quite like the rush of having to throw oneself off a rooftop, the next hand hold meaning the difference between life and death. Or life-after-seriously-debilitating-injury, take your pick. Ezio caught a windowsill by his fingertips, the soles of his trainers finding purchase on the mansion's brick facade. The wind was in his hair, the sun warm on his shoulders and the solid earth a good distance beneath him.

[Action]

[ Someone has let Coach Auditore near a guitar, whoops. Ezio strums it like he has any real idea of what he's doing (secret: he doesn't), working out a chord or two while he croons in Italian: ]

♫ They say great men discuss ideas;
Small men, well, only people-
Don't let the small ones stifle you,
Dream big, it yet remains legal. ♫

[ It...sounds way better in Italian. Probably. At least this time he's keeping the really filthy verses in check. Playing to your audience, Ezio totally knows how. ]

[growing_pains]

Didn't get that far. I was a bit slow at it. [ Yuugi frees one hand so she can open and close her fingers. They are the very model of "man-hands". ] Not too precise with these.

[growing_pains]

Yuugi scratched the back of her neck. "Why'd you dress up, though? Someone was gonna notice." Like her, Ms. 'Wears P.E. Clothes All Day Erry Day'. They were the easiest thing to fit into, and were cheap. She needs no fancy get-ups, as most things would just be weird on a frame like hers anyhow.

[growing_pains]

Ahh, really? Thanks, Yacchan. [ Though after a moment of moving her head this way and that, she looks down and over at the girl. ] ...uh, can you point it out? Don't have a mirror with me.

Prose

X-23 was happily lazing about in a window, just enough room for her to sit inside it and look out at the sky. Which is why she noticed someone launching himself at the window ledge and catching hold.

Well, that wasn't very usual, not for someone who didn't seem to have the ability to fly. Fliers usually were a bit reckless with the windows, it generally made her day more interesting in ways she rather her day was boring.

She waited a few moments, trying to decide what the right way to handle such an... odd, social interaction. Finally deciding she should say hello. She cracked the window, enough to talk but not enough he could get in without fighting her to open the window more, "Hello."

Prose

[vendicativo]

Oh, there was someone at this window. Not one to shy away, he pulled himself up to get a firmer grip and shift more of his weight onto the ledge itself, much like a cat clinging resolutely to a table's edge. Ezio flashed her a smile.

"Good afternoon!" This was totally the most normal thing ever, clearly. "It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"

Wow... You don't know what six time eight is?

Sucks to be you.

Margot was not the biggest fan of water -- there was the whole nearly drowning incident when she was little (which, frankly, was very off-putting) and it never mixed well with the fire powers thing she had going on.

Still, toward the end of summer and with classes starting again, it was usually a nice and quiet place to hang out and get reading done. You know, far back from the shore and under a tree. From her safe spot, she scowled at the water and her unwanted companion splashing about.

"Can you keep it down? I'm trying to get work done."

[action]

[lastplaceigo]

[This might be cool. Not quite the running around activities that she likes, but with other training going on, something academic would be a nice balance.

Margot thumbs through the book, actually looking excited.]

I'd be up for acting... It's not that hard, right?

[rider_pictures]

"I don't think voodoo is going to help your current situation," replied Takumi blandly.

[black_lily]

Just because I don't know a worthless piece of information doesn't mean that it "sucks to be me"! I certainly don't think so!

[thought_takes_flight]

[Wait, what? Ukitake's not going to force him to be on stage? Venom lowers his book.]

I... I guess I could do that.

[thought_takes_flight]

Venom couldn't help noticing the spider on her leg. Spiders weren't his favorite creatures. He narrowed his eyes and tried to continue his book.

"I'm under no obligation to tell you what I'm reading." He slowly turned the page, hoping the other girl would leave him be.
