[feeling homesick?]
Who: the student body
When: October 9
Where: anywhere outside!
What: set fire to the rain
Warnings: some people might get chewed on by a fox
[On the morning of October 9th, a bright, almost ethereal glow flares from the rooftop]
[It lasts but a few seconds and can be seen from anywhere outside, as well as through the windows of the school. though it dissipates quickly, small bursts of light remain scattered in the sky, slowly floating down to the earth below. they are. . .]
[. . . small tongues of blue fire? they dance in the air like playful sprites, wiggling this way and that, inviting you closer with their whimsical shimmies. should you get too close to these sprites, you will hear a familiar voice echoing in your head. it is the voice of someone very close to you! someone you cared for. someone you once loved very, very much. someone you miss. someone you would do anything to see again]
[touch these tongues of blue flame, and that same person will appear before you, smiling with their hand extended. you will feel compelled to take it, almost as if you are in a trance. almost as if you cannot resist]
[the apparitions of your loved ones will attempt to guide you into the forest. characters who touch the flames will be reduced to a dreamlike state and compelled to follow them. this trance can be broken by another character with either a) a solid punch/stab/any kind of inflicted pain or b) a kiss. this knowledge is not known ICly, so you better get to experimenting!! if the trance is broken, the apparition will vanish in a whirlwind of blue fire with an irritated shriek, leaving nothing behind but a sense of loss and forlorn longing in the character who was affected]
[should a character's trance not be broken before they reach the woods. . . well. the apparition of their loved one will smile wickedly as it sprouts blue fox ears and three fluffy, blue tails at its back. its eyes will turn white, its teeth sharp, as its entire body shifts and morphs into a four-legged kitsune with blue fur and white-socked feet. the trance will be broken right as it attacks, as it attempts to sink teeth into its victim's neck and tear them limb from limb. whoops! looks like you got suckered into a miniboss fight!]
[the kitsune are pretty quick on their feet! they are difficult to hit, and their bites hurt, leaving an icy-hot sensation crawling across the skin at the site of the wound. they cannot be killed, but they can be injured with typical weapons (their blood oozes dark black), and they tend to balk when faced with more than one opponent. if you have a friend with you to fend them off, they are more likely to flee than not, curling up into balls of fur and popping out of existence with a bright blue spark of heat. the buddy system will be invaluable here!]

Glancing up, she watches as the older man continues further into the forest, deciding for herself that no good would come out of continuing down that path, even if there's a part of her that wonders what would happen if they did.......
No. What's important is that Zuo Le isn't acting like himself. She steps in front of him again, this time close enough that he has no choice but to see her, look at her, or so she thinks. ]
There's nothing good waiting for you there. Unless you want to get into a fight? But you don't seem like you're in the right state of mind for that, you know... So snap out of it!
no subject
But even right in his face, it seems like Zuo Le is doing everything in his power to look past her, still fixated on the man who has stopped, looking agitated and beyond disapproving by what is happening right now, like he's growing disappointed in Zuo Le once again......
He does his best to lean around Nei to call out to the man. ]
Father! Please, just a moment! I can't seem to...
[ No, it's an excuse, and a weak sounding one, and he does not particularly care to let Zuo Le try to explain away his own failures, so Zuo Le's voice trails off, a troubled look on his face. ]
no subject
As he peers around her and calls after his father, she lifts her hands and presses them to the sides of his face, forcing him to stand face to face with her again. ]
Hey! [ she whispers, again, ] Zuo Le. Look at me. That isn't your father. Your father wouldn't lead you into danger, would he?
[ Well, she doesn't really know if he would. But she's going to pull on his cheeks anyway. Is this anything. ]
no subject
Though Zuo Le doesn't explain any of this to Nei. Even forced to look at her by both her hands on his face and the command she whispers to him, his eyes seem to struggle to see past her, despite the fact that there is something clearly obstructing his vision.
The quiet sound that bubbles out of him is pure confusion and frustration. He can't understand why this is happening right now, though he will wince as his cheeks are pulled.
It still doesn't seem to be quite enough to break him free of this yet. ]
no subject
... ... ...
Would he continue to ignore her if she hurt him, she wonders? Like, seriously hurt him? With her fists, or with her sword, even...? ]
You're really starting to get on my nerves, you know...
[ But right now, the only thing clouding the impulsive (?) desire to inflict harm on him more is her desire to do so on her true enemies. Zuo Le is not one of them...
And so, at a loss, all she can really do is lean in and really get in his face. ]
You're not seriously going to keep ignoring me when I'm this close, are you? Aren't you going to blush and fluster with someone like me face-to-face with you like this? Come on, you idiot...!
no subject
The creature who he can no longer see as his vision is obstructed by...?
His thoughts feel muddled in a way he can't explain as he blinks rapidly, looking more befuddled than the usual flushed and flustered he might if he really could properly perceive the face right in front of him. Just holding her hand had him turning beet red, and yet now he stares at her without truly focusing on the face mere inches in front of his own. ]
no subject
...Nei shakes her head. No, he's not... he's not the enemy, here. It's that man, she's sure, and so without further indecision, Nei leans forward and presses her lips to Zuo Le's. It's a fleeting, almost shy little thing, but it's there nonetheless, even lingering in the way she's pouting when she pulls away shortly. ]
You'd better be paying attention now, or I'll actually kill you.
no subject
At the slightest brush against his lips Zuo Le blinks in response to the stimuli, the first time he's really seemed to react much to anything she's done to him. One blink, two blink, three blink and his face is immediately flushing a notable shade of pink as his spine instantly snaps straighter and his tail begins to lash around like crazy behind him.
It seems like he is paying attention now. ]
Rin?!
[ Did she just--??! ]
1/2
...Well. Now she's kissed him and he's blushing and now she's blushing because he's blushing and of all the things she'd done and said to him in the last few minutes, this is the thing he actually notices. ]
You...
[ You're back. ]
no subject
[ Not seriously. Unless? But no, she's just incredibly flustered and tsun-ing out, so her hands fall to his shoulders and shake him. ]
no subject
To take--
To take responsibility?!?!?!
The pink is quickly turning into a full red as his tail keeps whipping around in a frenzy of movement as his nervousness peaks. ]
I-- There's not really--
[ He can't exactly take her on a date in a haunted school, can he?!
Taking a deep breath he takes a step back, though still within arms length so she can shake him still if she wants, and ducks his head down in an apologetic gesture. ]
I promise I will find a way to do so!
[ Take responsibility that is. ]
no subject
G-Good, because you owe me! It's like you were completely possessed! Do you understand how I just saved your life!?
[ PRAISE HER!! ]
no subject
Or not, because it's already gone, and they're still talking here.
God, he's still so red right now even as he nods in understanding. Sort of understanding. He remembers what just happened, but it was all so hazy, and he--
How is he managing to look even more embarrassed right now? How is that even possible? It's because the one thing more embarrassing than how painfully bad he is with any interactions that veer even the slightest past platonic, is visibly messing up so badly. ]
I-- I didn't--
[ He didn't mean to, but he still did... His next words come out in a rush. ]
I'msorrythankyou!
