( wow, look at them, cooperating for once. it's a christmas miracle done early! that said, she looks almost bewildered when komaeda places her hand on his chest... not because he's playing along, but because she did not expect him to have any titties? hello? why isn't your chest caving in? extremely weird. )

Weell, actually... ( i said she approached ishimaru on 6/8-ish so the ish gives me wiggle room. yes. (alice voice) close enough ) Marumaru said we can go for our maid cafe slash host club idea!

( she beams, triumphant. the shirtless calendar was a no-go, even after she assured him chiaki would buy it out had izumi participated, so alas... )

Exciting, isn't it? I'm gonna look sooooooo cute in a maid dress. ( sighs wistfully, glancing over to komaeda... pinches his cheek. ) Maybe we can put Koma-kyun in a suit, too... Oh, Senpai, do you know anyone who can sew? We'll definitely need help with the outfits.

( cakes? he's surprised like... how normal that is, it kind of throws him off to the point he doesn't realize rika's copping a fucking squeeze. does rokkun really believe komaeda to agree to something so simple, so domestic, so... bomb the yogenment. where's the hitman ideas, that's some people's fantasies.

when she mentions the cafe idea, komaeda hums as he looks between rika and rokkun. )

I enjoy escape rooms more... ( personal preference because they aren't that noisy, but he'll make do. ) Modify the outfits to be like animals, you remind me of an aggressive kitten.

( she puffs up when she doesn't get her way when has been seen many times at those family meetings. )

You can have triangles for ears, and things like that. As for Rokkun... ( let's see... maybe horse tail and ears. ) Wombat.

( he sits right next to akira, shoulders bumping so he can follow the pattern of taking a look at the console nanami has in her hands. he could call akira out right now for even getting close to her, but he refrains. )

You were right, I like them, what made that so obvious?

( he places his hands down in his lap as he looks towards nanami, smiling softly before placing his attention on akira. he thinks back on what he saw yesterday between someone komaeda's long forgotten despite meeting them once, and akira dragging their body out of view. komaeda's feelings are already in place from what he saw, it took him a bit considering who else he saw down there with madison. )

...It's amazing what others can use to play games.

[Apparently you can get it on Amazon which hasn't been invented yet, and Lucifer's five seconds from being like "just order it on Akuzon" before he remembers that that's a demon thing and that technically if this is the 90s that also hasn't been invented yet.

Also they sell such roots at apothecaries, so:]

Most of those sorts of magical herbs that are less-common are sold in herb shops or metaphysical stores. If there isn't one of those nearby, don't worry about it. As useful as it is, we could also use other herbs.

[Lucifer puts together a list using the notebook he usually keeps on his person. It's... quite the list. Listen I'm not going to link my entire google doc on the topic of herbs used as spell components because it's 46 pages long but Lucifer cherry-picks common herbs from a list that He has in his head and writes them all down under certain categories like so:

Banishment:

Cloves

Thyme

Binding:

Honeysuckle, Hydrangea, Ivy, and/or Morning Glory. If you raid someone's garden, don't get caught.

If you can't find the above, get the longest pieces of grass you can find from outside.

Hex-breaking:

Chamomile

Nutmeg

They'll also need a piece of paper, and finding who originally had the blood on the herbs would assist with the binding-breaking portion of this, but if not, this should be fine. In addition to what's above, he writes down sage, basil, and bay leaves at the bottom of the list so that they can get a non-bloody stock of it. Because, really, people also use those in the kitchen and this place already has blood water, we don't need blood herbs too.

He trades Hikaru for the chalk, and absolutely fluffs their hair up before handing over the list in the most fatherlike moment of his entire existence. Listen, this kid makes him proud, okay. He has a lot of pride in them.]

Sadly, I can't reimburse you for your help, [because his entire household funds is demon currency and he has none of it here anyway] but we'll work out a deal when you return. You don't need to get everything on the list, just one thing from each category.

Clamor, [haha you guys thought I was done] A trap is a great idea. Assuming we can find out whose blood got onto the original herbs, we might be able to drag them in for assistance. Protective wards aren't my specialty. Can I comfortably leave that to you?

( Finally, his dream of being referred to as a great duke of Hell is realized. )

I've met worse and still liked THEM, so I wouldn't worry about IT. ( hiro, his mans. ) For starTERS...

( ...he looks past him, at the wisteria tree— )

Are there any dead bodies beneath the TREE? ( ... ) It's a popular urban legend with cherry blossoms on school campusES, so I was curious if perhaps it was the truth HERE, given the way this school's graduation requirements are quite... high, let's SAY.

( third year class, so the question is... can komaeda sneak into rokkun's class with luck and sit with him while the teacher is talking? y/n. if he can't do that, he'll catch him after one of the classes to sit with him, he's here to be "annoying". )

Edited (not ME forgetting his name in the title whoops!) 2021-06-16 18:17 (UTC)

Ohh, gross!

[ But it's said in that delighted way little children do when they see bugs, and Chiaki reaches out to touch the bruising around the wound, a light stroke that can barely be felt. ]

Didya get him back?

[ wombat

All he knows about wombats is that they're a dying species, which he supposes is fitting even if nobody's going to guess the right animal with just little round ears on his head. ]

Your cafe slash host club is going to need food to serve, you know. [ His cupcakes are still relevant, thank you very much. ] And most people just rent outfits? There's no need to sew anything from scratch... If you want something custom made, ask whoever's in the home ec club. Akira can also sew. ...in a sense. Bully him into it.

... Didnt you say Akira the other day, 'Who doesnt like video games?'

[ Nanami smiles gently, looking over toward Akira seemingly entertained that the two were shoulder to shoulder. A part of her wondered if she should come closer to Akira, but she worried it would cause too many problems. So she settles in her spot not to far away, but close enough. ]

...

[ Nanami woulda forced Nagito to help them shiny hunt but... Well her smile fades into a neutral expression once again and she says - ]

Didn't you have something you wanted to ask Akira-san about?

[ Can't believe Nanami abandoned him, he doesn't know what to do sitting shoulder to shoulder with Komaeda other than shift his shoulder slightly away and mumble something under his breath about it being too hot. ]

Something... about video games?

[ About video games, right? please be about video games ]

( wombat... )

Hmm... well, I guess animal ears are an easy accessory to include! Though, I'm not sure about wombat ears... you might need to pick something more generic... maybe a dog for Koma-kyun, and a fox or a wolf for Senpai! Oh, a rabbit is also an option... or a mouse!

( she's just gonna ignore the fact that komaeda called her aggressive and move on. she's the cutest, most docile, most amazing girl ever, thank you very much. )

Renting is fine, but we'd need someone to do it for us... on top of that, Marumaru needs to approve the outfits. ( she hums thoughtfully. ) But if Akki can make some modifications... 'cause, like, I want my dress to be super special, you know? ( HMMM HMM HMM ) Oh, maybe Chiakkin could help us with the renting... I'll tell her she gets to pick what outfit Senacchi is gonna be in... Oh, Senpai! Do you wanna help with the food?

( the cogs are turning. )

Edited 2021-06-16 18:41 (UTC)

( look... she's gonna ambush him outside of class, after they're all done, sneaking an arm around his and clinging to him like the obnoxious leech that she is. )

Akki! ( does she feel bad about almost giving him a heart attack that other day... maybe.

but also she's probably giving him one now, so... ) Nanamin told me you're like, suuuuper into video games. I'm no good at these, but... wanna show me some? Maybe I'll grow to like 'em, too!

( she's... half-lying but she needs to get him in a comfortable spot so he agrees to everything she asks, so listen — )

[ get him in a comfortable spot
grabbing his arm and giving him a heart attack

The latter wins out and he flusters, half trying to pull away and half glancing over his shoulder because nobody can see this, stop, no, Rokkun is just two doors over and what would he do if— ]

I- uh.

[ okokok, first thing's first, he's going to try to shake his arm out of Rika's grasp, just sort of wiggling his elbow free without pulling her hands off himself. ]

You don't want to play with her instead?

Now, now... ( that's not okay, but he has to act like the normal person for like five minutes while rika is going insane with her thoughts. she's young, so her imagination is endless which isn't a bad thing. ) You can't pick and choose the people you want for this, Kawaii-san, but if you the perfect blackmail...

( then maybe it's okay, he's not going to complain. )

Getting Fujioka-kun on your side should be first, but be careful... apparently he has a tendency of lighting people on fire.

( is he saying this around rokkun while looking in his direction to figure out if he was lying or not? hell yeah. does he care? not really. perhaps they're going to akira when they need the school lit up. )

[ How is this supposed to be cute and soft, there isn't an extra chair around so either the student sitting beside Rokkun excuses themselves to go to the bathroom and gets mauled by an invisible imp on the way and never comes back and frees up a seat, or Komaeda just walks in and sits down next to Rokkun on the same tiny chair so they're both half falling off of it and the teacher just stares at Komaeda for a moment before turning back to the board and continuing the lecture on optical physics. ]

Something like that... I don't know many video games to reference what I want to ask.

( he shrugs his shoulders while he makes sure to close the distance against them when akira tries to shift away. he isn't getting away, but he decides to lock arms with him like they've been friends forever. komaeda may be an ultimate, but he treats himself as complete garbage which means him and akira are the same.

it makes him wonder if now's the time — normally he works when they're calm and it's easy to tell when akira isn't, but he should have a bit of time before saihara can even crash their little party so. )

Hmm... I got it! Why don't we play a game together, it may not be a video game, but you'll feel better, right?

( he looks at akira... isn't komaeda thoughtful. )

( if he wants to call out to rokkun for help, he may, but it might be too late by then... rika's fast and she's still holding onto him Very Tightly. )

Hmm... nope! She'd like, fall asleep midway, or something. Besides, I wanna get closer to Akki! Since... we shared... an intimate moment... ! ( GASPS.

anyway, she won't let him wiggle out of her grasp. if he wants freedom, he has to struggle with his whole life on the line for it?? )

Aaaaanyways, where do you usually play, Akki? Library? Club room?

[ He huffs a laugh at the mention of Akira lighting people on fire. Make of that what you will. ]

This is all stuff you should discuss with Marumaru, isn't it? The expenses involved, the manpower you need... It's going to require money upfront, but it's not as if the student council is without funds. If you can convince Maya it's worth it, a lot of your problems will be solved.

[ Or they can scavenge school materials and make it happen themselves, if they don't want to sacrifice Natsume's fingers. ]

Whaaa... ? Akki, setting people on fire? No way... he looked like he was going to burst into flames himself, last time I spoke to him. He can't even look me in the eye, y'know? Sooo cute... like a little, trembling mouse!

( sighs... wanna torment him bad... )

True, though, all of this has to go through Marumaru first. But, it's okay, because Marumaru loooooves me and will absolutely say yes to anything I think of, I'm sure of it!

( or rather, she'll corner him into agreeing, because she's terrible and persistent and not above using dirty tactics. you know, gentle persuasion. )

Maya-chin, though, huh... Kuuderes are so hard to crack, but maybe... ( RUBS CHIN THOUGHTFULLY. maybe natsume can work some magic, once he pleads his way back into her graces... )

[ Somewhere in bed, Hiro wakes up and sneezes, can't believe he's worse than the gardener. ]

Not physically. There would not be enough space for the graves.

[ He would have to be the one doing it? He's not up for digging holes, he just wants to water plants and hum to the flowers. ]

Those who perish here are honored in different ways. They are not forgotten.

Shh!

[ Lord. She's not allowed to talk to him in the middle of the hallways, but the trouble is that there's hardly any private places to talk in a school, let alone play video games with somebody without Komaeda gatecrashing before they even start. ]

With Nanami-san? We usually meet up by my locker, unless she finds me after class first...

[ There's a little nervous glance he throws down the hall like he's half hoping Nanami would appear and save him, but she's like Rokkun who he suspects would just take one look at this scene and wave him goodbye and good luck. ]

And then wherever there isn't a lot of people. We could go downstairs and play together... maybe?

Eh... [ Hyde thinks about what the other said, like it never occurred to him to do that. ] You know what - why didnt I?

[ The self imposed 'Therapist,' titled seem to make him feel inclined to NOT stab him. For a strange reason, like he immediately felt the male were there to contend with his own wants and please him... But maybe he SHOULD stab him. Hyde lets his shirt go if shes done touching, even if shes not. He's thinking hard over how to stab the counselor now.]

Maybe next time and I'll bring you a present too.

He's pretty weak which is true, but if he managed to set Rokkun afire once... doesn't that mean he's willing to do anything?

( he seems off-put about everything around him, and komaeda has never seen that man not tremble which says a lot about him. whether he's afraid or knows something more does dwell in komaeda's mind, but there's one thing that remains true. )

But you managed to overcome it since you're laughing... I'm proud of you.

( just a little praise, not too much. of course, his eyes move towards rika's words about ishimaru's affections, and you know... how he is about ultimates... he's bothered now. almost like he doubts it, but he won't say anything. actually, i'm crying how dare she call ishimaru by a pet name? he's going to go insane. he ignored it first time, but now... it's mocking him. )

... ( woo sah... ) There has to be someone to talk to Arisu-san... one time she accepted a cabinet without a name attached. All I said was that it's a surprise from someone.

Pft- are you going to now?

[ Good luck, she seems to imply, his shirt falling back over her hands before she pulls them back to herself. ]

Bring me back something tasty!

[ Rokkun looks a little bothered about Ishimaru's affections too? Hey, Marumaru, you watch your back. ]

It doesn't have to be her directly— no, I'm not scheming anything more with you guys. I'll make cupcakes, okay? That'll be my contribution.

[ Maybe wear wolf ears if Rika asks him, but that's it. ]
