Pest Control: Start!

Who: Who indeed?
Where: Where indeed?
When: When—Day 259

[ Today's rainy day may be a respite from the summer's heat, but the clouds that herald the weather are darker than one might expect—pitch-black and foreboding, they seem to be bringing in more than just rain. . .

Incidentally, whether you decide to spend today inside or enjoy the rain outside, you might see a brightly colored something hopping around. Does it have four legs? Two? Is it a stray cat, perhaps? Whatever it is, it's laughing at you.

It darts around the periphery of your vision as though to taunt you, fast-moving blurs of glaring color, before suddenly coming into view—along with something recognizable. The creature itself could be anything: humanoid or animal-like, with devil wings or forked tails, but that might not be important to you, because right now it's holding something important to you. It isn't necessarily the most important thing to you, but it does carry some sort of emotional significance or necessity—or maybe just something you were about to use or that meal you were just about to eat—and if it's not a something that it's carrying, then maybe it's a someone. Hey, what the fuck?

Before you can really react, the creature snickers and scampers away with your belongings, running into the rain. . . but not without dropping a little bomb, similar to what an AlcheME!'s smokebomb might look like. In an instant, it sets off, leaving you covered in glitter and with a new (relatively harmless) change—purple hair, animal ears, tiny helium balloon voice, or anything else to the tune of an AlcheME! potion's status effect. Just like an AlcheME! potion, the effect will wear off anywhere from 10 minutes from now to a week from now, but are you going to take this lying down? That thing just took your shit and prank bombed you!

If you do end up chasing after it, you'll find a growing stack of Precious Belongings™ in the park, which has now been transformed into a mud moat and maze. Various effect bombs have been planted in the area as traps, just waiting for you to set them off.

If you don't end up chasing after it (or, hell, even if you do) you'll see another creature—certainly not the same one although looking very similar to the first one you saw—attempting to do the same thing, either to you or someone else, or maybe attempting to sneak into your dorm so it can rifle through your stuff.

Attempting to catch the creature is a crapshoot, but if you manage to do it—whether with your hands or with a net or you know, just killing it—the creature explodes into a puff of dark smoke before dispersing, maybe even dropping something else along the way. Before you know it though, there'll be another one trying to prank you . . .

What's going on? Who turned AlcheME! into actual goblins?? If that's not AlcheME!, then what the fuck is happening??? Who's responsible for this???? And, most importantly, how do you fix it????? ]

[ she's about to run off in a different direction, but then she jolts straight back into izanagi. ] Oof. Hey, what's the big id.. ea... [ she looks at the handcuffs and oh. ]

...

[ wtf. ]

[ WILDCARD. ]
bondsofsuffering: ([Ow] over me)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-07-09 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[wtf indeed.

"Get down on one knee and pretend to propose to someone."

...The hell is this? Another game?

[personal profile] 420blazeit 2020-07-10 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
If this is another game it's not one I want to participate in.

[ uhhh, this is kind of ironic considering their pretend relationship during the other roleplay live. ]

Izanagi... [ she takes his hand in her own and gets down on one knee. ] I know we haven't know each other that long, but I wanted you to know that I really care about you, as a friend, and I think that we should forge a serious friendship by getting frarried, so will you do me the honor?

[ does this count?
it feels like it should count. ]
bondsofsuffering: ([Smile] even a flashing)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-07-10 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Ain't it just.

He's mildly surprised she's actually going for it, but he'll play along.
]

Wow, I'm sooo happy! Yes, I'd love to be frarried!

[Squints at the handcuffs. Did they just click?]
420blazeit: (pic#13139611)

[personal profile] 420blazeit 2020-07-10 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ as soon as she drops a kiss on the back of his hand she hears the click, surprised. ]

...

Did that really just work?

[ she immediately starts laughing. ]
bondsofsuffering: ([Smile] so threatening)

1/2

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-07-10 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, technically it was a proposal of some kind.

[And hey whatever works. Sliding his hand out of the cuff.]
bondsofsuffering: ([Ow] While we're made to)

2/2

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-07-10 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
-We should probably deal with those little gremlins, though. I'd rather not get cuffed to people all day if that's what they're up to.

[No offense D.Va.]

[ none taken. ]

I don't blame you, honestly.

If these little shits are running around you need to be able to run around too.

[ another couple of imps run up to the two of them, but she immediately takes out her heart weapon. ] Don't even think about it!
bondsofsuffering: ([Surprise] all the answеrs)

[He doesn't have any cool attacks to use when they don't seem to have any scars, but he did have an umbrella from the rain, so he'll go ahead and toss it at one and then use his power to drag it in to catch the thing for D.va to deal with--

Except it poofs upon capture so hey that's convenient.

-Ah.

...huh. It sorta looks like these things suck at existing. I guess that means they're not going to put up much of a fight, but in groups they're a royal pain in the ass.

[ gives him a devilish grin. ]

Do you know how to use a whip?
bondsofsuffering: ([Heh] misstep to fall)

Re: 2/2

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-07-11 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
As far as my memories go, I have never used one in my life.

I guess this is going to be a learning experience then. I figure we could take out a bunch of them on a bike with a whip.
bondsofsuffering: ([Smile] theory of surrender.)

Re: 2/2

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-07-12 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty confident I can figure it out as we go!

That's the right attitude to have. Let's go grab one of my bikes.

[Whaaaaaaat that's so cool

Definitely taking that hand to jump on up, let's go!!

[ time to bring him to the balcony attached to her body shop, so they can pick out one of the bikes she's got. ]

I need to get a whip too... [ she hops off her aibou as soon as they arrive and takes out her phone. ]
