57 - [video of feet + action]

[blackshadow]

[ The device turns on with a clatter and...purring. ]

—Hey! Cut it out-!

[ And Tyr's very annoyed voice as he tries to shoo away the two long-hair cats that are rubbing against his legs as he stands at the kitchen counter. ]

This isn't even— Sindar!

[ And a second later, another cat is plopped to the floor with the other two. ]

I don't know how Luc put up with you...

[ He finally reaches for his device to click off the feed. And probably get back to making breakfast. ]

Comments

[negativegate]

['3' njkasd a very exciting relationship. (AT THE TIME....)]

[Rita stands by ready, and just watches him curiously. So he's tempting the cat...]

You think she'll fall for that?

[blackshadow]

[Always heart-racing-! (SOB. HE'S SORRY...)]

Do you have a better idea for luring her out?

[negativegate]

[Always adventurous-! (SHE DOESN'T MIND-!!)]

I-I'm not saying it's bad! Just go ahead, okay?

[blackshadow]

[Always exciting-! (IS SHE SURE?)]

I'm trying!

[But she's just sitting there in the far corner, looking at him innocently.]

[negativegate]

[Every single time!! (THE MOST SURE!)]

[And Rita will helpfully stand there and make comments! Very helpful.]

Well, try getting under there to get her out!

[blackshadow]

[ Never a dull moment!! (WELL. GOOD. HE DOESN'T WANT TO SCAR HER.) ]

[ Ugh, Rita. ]

I can't crawl and carry her at the same time.

[negativegate]

[A different design, every time!! (TH-THEY BOTH MADE IT THROUGH...)]

[...Okay, she can maybe be a bit more helpful.]

Just do it, and I'll grab her!

[blackshadow]

[ That just sounds cute! (THEY DID. SORTA.) ]

All right- Just keep an eye out for her.

[ And he crawls under, reaching out for her----

But she scrambles out for under the bed before he can even touch her. ]

[negativegate]

[Ahaha, it kind of does. |D (M-MAYBE....BUT NOW THEY CAN HANDLE IT!)]

[Rita yelps and tries to run after her, but she's not as fast as the cat and just ends up on her knees staring under the bed. Well.]

Ugh! What kind of trap was that?

[blackshadow]

[ It makes me imagine them wearing really weird underwear. (THEY CAN HANDLE ANYTHING NOW!!!!!) ]

A bad one!

[ RITA WAS SUPPOSED TO CATCH HER. Now Tyr tries to crawl back out and see where Ariadne went... ]

[negativegate]

[Tyr wears fish-print ones when he goes fishing... (NO MATTER WHAT IT IS!!)]

Then try again!

[H-huff Rita totally tried!! She scowls and looks around, finally spotting Ariadne on the dresser.]

[blackshadow]

[ Rita's have beakers on them when she decides to spend all day in the lab... (EVEN DEATH) ]

[ Ugh, Tyr hates when she's up there! He scowls when he sees her and jumps to his feet to grab her. ]

You still need to help!

[negativegate]

[Aha, yes...Or equations when she's doing research! (DEATH, GHOSTS...BRING EM ON-!)]

[Rita scowls, more at the cat than at Tyr, and shoves herself to her feet, too.]

I am helping, okay?

[blackshadow]

[ Yes~ 8D Chemical formulae when she wants to make something-! (THEY CAN TAKE IT-!) ]

Then get the door ready so I can get her out of here!

[ Lunging at Ariadne!!! ]

[negativegate]

[Perfect! Tyr can have salt and pepper shakers when he's cooking~! (ALL OF IT)]

[And Rita stomps over to the door, hand grasping the knob.]

Now just grab her!

[blackshadow]

[ Eee, yes~! And >:3 faces when he's training~ ]

[ And Tyr shows how good he is with animals but just hugging an unhappy Ariadne to his chest and trying...to get her to a more comfortable position without letting go of her. ]

There-!

[negativegate]

[omg yes, the best faces!]

Now--quick!

[Rita opens the door!!

--and Reinbach runs in.]

[blackshadow]

[ They show his true self-! ]

[ And then Ariadne squirms out of Tyr's arms and runs back in the room.

Which

more or less

makes Tyr throw up his arms. ]

Let's just use another room- we have four other ones.

[negativegate]

[As a bratty kid?!]

[RITA WILL PRETTY MUCH DO THE SAME for once she's starting to actually dislike cats.]

I don't care which one--let's just get out before they follow us!

[blackshadow]

[ ...sob, yes, as that!! ]

[ He practically shoves Rita out the door and blocks the path out with his legs. THESE CATS AREN'T GOING TO FOLLOW THEM. ]

Then choose one!

[negativegate]

[All his >:3 faces!!]

[Rita grumbles loudly but rushes right out along with him, then grabs Tyr's arm and pretty much drags him towards the other nearest door (that isn't Riou's room!!).]

Okay, okay! Come on!

[blackshadow]

[ He'd have one right now if he could! ]

[ Tyr slams the door shut before the cats can get out, and they end up in Ted's old room.

But at the moment, Tyr is okay with this. And he slams that door shut, too. ]

Finally!

[negativegate]

[If they could just get back to where they were-!!]

[...Except now Rita takes a few deep breaths, still annoyed, and as she thinks how they were before...]

Right--now let's just-

[She'll just grab Tyr and try to sort of forcefully mash their lips together. It's pretty jerky and clumsy.]

[blackshadow]

[ IF ONLY. :( ]

Mh-

[ ...That is really forceful. But if that's how she wants to do it, he'll be just as forceful and awkward about it, mashing his lips to hers and...putting her against the door? That should work. ]

[negativegate]

[THEY JUST NEED TO TRY HARD!!]

[Rita makes a grunt and keeps crushing her mouth against his in a hard, messy kiss--but being against the door does make that tingle sort of show up again...

She grabs his hair, pulling harder than usually but not enough to be painful, and tries to turn them around or push Tyr against a wall or--something.]
