Yuugi Hoshiguma - Touhou

[growing_pains]

[ 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..."

[crabtasticsentinel]

[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]

[ Yuugi grins at the company, but doesn't stop. ] Only when it gets dirty.

[crabtasticsentinel]

What do you do that makes it dirty? [How does a horn even get dirty?]

[growing_pains]

Haha, you'd be surprised! [ She briefly looks away, then turns her head over and down to the girl. ] I kinda got some clay on it.

[crabtasticsentinel]

[She stares at her in complete confusion.] How...?

[growing_pains]

Art project! [ Like that explains everything. ]

[crabtasticsentinel]

That involved flinging clay around?

[growing_pains]

No, see, I put it on my face. We were making masks and I thought "hey, I got to get the horn!" [ ...Yuugi, that was paper-mache. ]

[prose] 1/2

[green_eyed]

... 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]

Fuck this.

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

Bad move, Yuugi. Bad. Move.

[growing_pains]

"...huh?" Yuugi blinked down at her. "What's up? Thought you were enjoying the party." The question was like her toll for letting Parsee through. Though it was more like she didn't realize she was blocking the door in the first place.

[green_eyed]

"You're an idiot." Parsee growled, counting that as her answer as she attempted to rush past. She was in an awful hurry... and embarrassed to the core. People were giggling in the background at the sight.

[growing_pains]

Being insulted is nothing new, but usually people tell her what she did wrong so she can... well, okay, she rarely fixes her behaviors but at least she can see her blunders coming! Sort of. She's not too bright in that respect.

Yuugi brings her arms up to push herself back and out of the doorway without scraping the top with her horn. The big girl pockets her hands and just sort of follows after Parsee with long, easy strides. "A shame to cut out early..."

[green_eyed]

"Well you're welcome to go back to it. In fact, go ahead and do that. I don't want you following me, you oafish jackass." Parsee snapped, though her voice shook as she did so. And a sniffle came as well. It wasn't long before she was outside, trying her best not to look at Yuugi.

It was stupid. The whole thing was stupid. The party, the dress, Yuugi, the stares from her 'fellow mutants', her... it was all stupid.

[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.

[green_eyed]

For Yuugi. But like hell was she going to say that after that display the giant had put on. If she was too stupid to get it, it was her own fault. Parsee just shuddered and kept walking. Though it was obvious, even to Yuugi, by now that the girl was definitely Not Okay... and likely on the verge of another irrational fit.

[growing_pains]

She's definitely picking up on something, even if it's just in the girl's body language. Yuugi scratched her head and picked up the pace a bit, so she could practically lean right over one of Parsee's shoulders as they walked. "...was it something I said?"

action

[diseasing]

[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.]

[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.

[diseasing]

Hm... It's there! [She points emphatically, sitting up onto her knees and leaning over to brace one elbow on the edge of the bench's seat.] Kinda on the bottom on this side...

[growing_pains]

This side? [ Point at the edge that is in her "blind spot", no matter how hard she looks up. ]

[diseasing]

[She climbs up onto the edge of the bench, kneeling beside Yuugi as she gesticulates even more vigorously.]

There, there—!

[At this rate, she'll just take the cloth and clean it herself...]

[growing_pains]

[ Yuugi leans down more, head turned up so she doesn't accidentally stab Yamame in the forehead or something. ] You're gonna have to show me, Yacchan.

[diseasing]

[Yamame half crawls over Yuugi's lap so she can take the rag from her, fully intending commence polishing her horn for her if allowed.]

He~re!
