I did have a solo, yes. My character was the Lord of Corruption, a man who was known for scheming and plotting in secret. I had to wear this rather ridiculous-looking costume with this enormous fur cape...

[It was, erm, definitely one of the more ostentatious things Lucifer has worn in his time. Still, it was fun, save for the moments he quite nearly tripped on the cape and faceplanted.

Smirking, Lucifer leans forward, inclining his head toward them.]

I still remember the routine somewhat. If you grabbed us some sticks from outside, I could show you the basics of sword fighting quite easily — at least, the more theatrical version.

( Natsume just puts a gift-wrapped box by her locker and in it is a bomb and it's like, is this a bribe or a threat—

He'll hang out with Hiro for a little while longer, at least until his cold pack gets kind of grossly warm... which then he'll toss it out, according to grocery standards it's now become a health hazard. But before he leaves, )

Can I ask you about your incident with Seki-kun someTIME?

( it would be "now" but if he keeps hiro for too long maya will show up like a bloodhound and getting caught sitting with the fridge open and cooling down with frozen food won't impress her, )

I don't think anyone does. It's just a matter... of resignation, or not.

( resignation...

this isn't the first time she's been told to accept something terrible, or do something worse to escape. and she broke through the first time. they'll do so again. )

If there's anything else, you know where to find me. I wish I could have helped more, though.

Great! ( his voice raises, ecstatic as he makes his way over to her with a smile. he takes a desk, turning it in her direction so he can sit down in it, and view her appearance against the window. yeah, he's not listening to her at all. )

I knew you'd be of great assistance.

( he places the wish strip on the desks' surface to slide them in her direction. )

My handwriting is a pain to look at... I wanted to know if you'd write my wishes for me?

( he's already wrote one set of wishes, but they were very annoying and freakfully honest ones... but the next set he wants to have put up are... a little against his norm. )

[ She purses her lips like how would Komaeda know her handwriting is any better? Never mind her capslock wish ]

Don't you have friends?

[ to ask favors of but also in general. Favors from Chiaki require payment and she squints at him because does he have any? She has cake. Hard to beat cake. ]

...

( friends? does he have friends? look, he doesn't know if he can call them that because knowing his luck... something bad will happen. )

I have you as of now...

( his fingers drum along the table in thought because she's right, he should have asked someone who would deal with him. but... chiaki won't keep anything he does in her mind, he's like garbage ready to put out so she can push her clean trash bag izumi there instead. it's a win/win to him. )

I understand scum like me shouldn't have wishes... but there are people out there who I think are in need of them.

[ maybe, but that would involve everybody else seeing her in meido and somehow, he can't feel too happy about that. ]

It's not that. It sounds...

[ fun? Exciting? Not things he's about. It sounds like being surrounded by people and being stared at by people and that's also not what he's about ]

Troublesome.

[ he dips his head and places a kiss on her forehead ]

I'm going to need a little more before I decide you're worth the trouble.

[ so if something bad happens to her, it's okay. Okay. He's right, though, the moment he's out of sight, he's out of mind and replaced with Izumi. ]

Sooooooo... Why should I care about you, or other people? This isn't how you ask for favors! Start off with what the other person cares about! What can you offer me!

( what happens to her that's bad is that she ends up with izumi or something, listen... komaeda's luck works in mysterious ways. )

You're very selfish, Kudo-san... I know you don't want me near your precious Sena-kun.

( yeah, he said it even though it's said in a ways like he's come to terms with it. )

I only need a few wishes written... what equivalent can I give you? ( want him to fake izumi's wishes for you queen??? he can do that. )

[ if only she knew...

There's no denying her selfishness as she tap her fork against her lips, though. What wish could she ask for, if Rika's already granting her wish board wish? ]

Hmmm... I'll write one wish for you for every one wish you grant of Sena's. BUT!!! You're not allowed to approach him or talk to him or interact with him in any way! Stay away from him!

( it's not like it's not a valid feeling — it's not as if she's not full of hesitation and uncertainty, too, but...

listen. it's not something you tell a feral girl that has an easy access to kicking you in the shoulder, which she promptly does, lips curving into a frown. )

Rocchi... you're a jerk! Put me down!! ( and she begins thrashing around like a rabies-infested cat. YES she will scratch his face too if needed be? )

( he's seen izumi's wishes because of how much he frequents the board himself for ultimates, and every wish was different from the last. some that can be granted, and other's needing the right circumstances, but his were... he missed someone. komaeda guesses he could do the one about his skin, but that would involve getting a knife to scrape away the flesh... it's clearer underneath, i'm sure. )

I can't grant any of his wishes.

( she has to know this, because she would have granted them herself if it was possible. )

...But I can stay away from him for an entire day on how many wishes you write for me. ( same thing, right? )

[ Opens up his arms and drops her down the stairs

It's okay, cats land on their feet. Also bc Chiaki needs her alive for lunch date, there's only one or two steps to the bottom floor, she'll be fine ]

Can't take a hint, huh? But okay, fine. What do you need me to write?

[ it's the same thing... Not being around Komaeda grants you clearer skin, we can fulfill that one ]

( how u gonna make me retcon the cake thread bc she's gonna be too pissed at him to do it?!?!?!?

well, she sure does fall from his arms. flexibility aside, that was kind of unexpected, so her ass takes the brunt of the fall, sending a wave of unpleasant pain up her tailbone.

ow...

... without even thinking about it, she turns and grabs at his leg, pulling him down to see if she can make him fall. bitch? )

( excuse me!??!?!?!?! he's just sucking the decay off the people around him so they live longer, you WANT him to be around izumi? wtf

he pulls out his list, looking over everything he's written so far, and it looks good enough to him. he slides it over to her accompanied with the slips of wish paper that he took. )

Write these, and also that I wish to hold Lily May more often.

( she's soft. )

...No. You helped a lot.

[ It's difficult in the moment, maybe even awkward or out of place, but he tries a subtle smile. Which in the end is only a corner of his mouth turning slightly, trying not to go too far. But... he does want her to know. ]

I couldn't have done this without you. If something else happens... you can count on me too.

[ No matter how little he might be able to do. ]

( she's just going to smile too, even if the events have been sad. because letting it get to her won't help anyone, and she's just... glad to be able to help somehow. )

I know. ( she thinks he's very reliable! not sure what gave her that idea- i'm kidding i promise. ) ... I wonder if we'll be able to find more of those coins.

But, that seems like a thing for another day! I'm gonna go make something to eat. Swing by if you're hungry!

Ah...

[ As usual, he's taken aback by how quickly she changes gears. He knows bouncing back isn't easy, not from something like that -- but she makes it look pretty easy. Nene... you said there are different types of strength, but this is the kind that Shuichi meant when he mentioned what he did. ]

I-I'm alright. But... thank you. See you later, Yashiro-san.

[ And he lets her go because, you know, he has to do his thing and go touch that gorinto one more time. And then probably mope around the whole evening. ]

[ And as promised: Hajun jumps a little and screams. It's more like a gasp, high-pitched. ]

Ah -- shhhh... [ Casually avoids cursing in front of child. Instead, he brings a hand up to the back of his neck and cants his head slightly, more or less confused that she seems surprised. Even though, yes, it was all just a lie. ]

... Yes? [ A brief pause. ] I can't say that you're my girlfriend, due to only being yours for a day, and it would only bring more complications. My mother would want to meet you, evaluate you, and you'd have to stay for dinner no doubt.

[ Maybe if he talks about a bunch of shit she'll just. Never Know. ]

[ Haha. She finally takes a step back to give him room, but the confirmation makes her beam, even if it's just the apparent alternative to girlfriend. ]

I don't care too much about meeting the parents, but I'm perfect, so of course I'd pass any evaluation! If they say otherwise, they're wrong.

Why havent you come say hellooo - I misssssss you.

[ He crawls out of nowhere, maybe he was in the ceiling. Or Chiaki opens a drawer and he comes out of nowhere. Or maybe he just walks up to her like a normal person while shes doing art things. ]

[ Hiro shakes his head no and walks away. Maybe he can sense Maya coming down the hall like a bloodhound, maybe he just doesn't want to talk about murdering Kouji, he's done enough of that at counseling all last month and he's all talked out. ]

[ She's stacking question after question on poor Nao who squints at the paper and is about to ask who "he" is, if not for remembering what Steph had blurted out in front of her the very first time they met. It's because of that that she reaches for the gift but then pulls her hand back, looking at Steph unsure. ... No, Steph said it was hers, so she picks up the paper and unwraps it, careful not to tear it so the flowers stay intact. ]

First the horse and now this... Somebody's been taking things from my locker?

Yeah, I am! But, um...

[ Mm, they fidget a little, leaning away like they're trying to decide. ]

It's no good if I let you handle all of it— I'm not gonna learn that way, and I want to help too! It wouldn't be fair, otherwise.
