It's been a rough few days with that curse and all, so...

[Rather than find people to hug, Rita has set her device to video. And now she pulls it into her chest and hugs it, giving it a good half-minute squeeze before she pulls it away, face now red.]

Th-that's all you're getting from me, got it?

[ooc: Cursed! Feel free to action either at the house or out and about in the City.]

Comments

[negativegate]

[Oooh, nice! :D]

But either way, they're both still deadly...

[Whoops, how did they get on such a depressing topic?]

Let's forget about weapons right now, anyway.

[blackshadow]

[ It was! I'd like to make it again! ]

[ He groans and had no problem with the subject change. ] Yeah...

We can get rubber ducks instead.

[negativegate]

[What kind of stew was it?]

[It's not that she minds discussing something serious, but they were having such a good time...]

Rubber ducks? What would those be for?

[blackshadow]

[ Trinidadian chicken stew that I saw on TV! The chicken was sooo tender. We used boneless thighs and they were great. ]

[ They really were... ]

Squirting water at each other.

[negativegate]

[Ooh, that does look really good! :D]

[They can get back to it!]

Instead of throwing whole buckets full, huh...

[blackshadow]

[ It was! It was pretty spicy to me, but my brother thought it was sweet. ]

[ Hopefully! ]

Less is more sometimes, right?

[negativegate]

[Aha, I usually find things spicier than my family, too. |D]

[They will-!]

You only say that so I won't bring out my magic, right?

[blackshadow]

[ Hee |D Not as used to the heat? ]

[ Yes-! ]

Your water magic is way too cold to bring out.

[negativegate]

[Not as much as they are! |D]

Hmm, yeah...

I should save it in case you fall asleep in there.

[blackshadow]

[ Awww :') ]

—Hey! That's too much!

[negativegate]

[We like plenty of other things, though, right? :D]

[And she just laughs at him now. She probably won't actually do it, but it's fun to imagine...]

[blackshadow]

[ I do! I'm not big on spicy foods, actually. I like things mild all the way. Not sweet, not sour, not spicy... ]

[ He pouts a little at her, and he blushes just a bit... ]

[negativegate]

[Ooh, so not overpowering, right?]

[Is she embarrassing him? She isn't sure, but she just keeps smiling. It'll be nice if they can go together--she's determined to make it happen.]

[blackshadow]

[ That's right! :< ]

[ She can definitely smile cruelly... But he doesn't feel bad. The way she smiles is so cute and sweet that he doesn't think she means anything bad. Besides, them joking like this is fun. ]

I...have water magic, too, you know...

[negativegate]

[Sob, wow, what was that tag from me...I was thinking this was the school thread jkasd.]

[Tyr is so cute, too. She keeps grinning, though she decides to let up a little. Especially when he's giving her an expression like that...]

Oh, that's right--I guess we'd both be in for it, then.

[blackshadow]

[ s;lgsf ahaha, maybe we shouldn't play when it's so late... I thought you meant 'build the bath together'. |D; ]

[ When she says that, a confident smile returns to his face. ]

And I learned from you, so you know just what you're in for.

[negativegate]

[snmkdjf haha maybe fewer threads when it's late...BUT AT LEAST IT MADE SENSE TO YOU IDK?]

[Oh, what a way to turn that around on her! She falters for a second, then laughs again.]

We'd end up destroying the bath at that rate.

[blackshadow]

[ IT DID! I've written weirder replies at night... We just need to learn moderation... ]

[ He laughs with her at that. ]

Good thing I didn't learn to be competitive from you, too.

[negativegate]

[YAY! And haha, yes...we have so many going right now!]

Yeah, you're already competitive enough yourself.

[blackshadow]

[ We dooo... It's just like old times! ]

Exactly. If I picked up yours, I wonder if we'd still have this room.

[negativegate]

[Hee, that's right! :3]

You say that like I'm destructive or something.

[blackshadow]

[ I like it! :D ]

There are a lot of holes in the study...

[negativegate]

[Me too! :D Sorry I'm slow, though! I've been feeling sleepy all day.]

Th-that didn't have anything to do with competing...

[blackshadow]

[ It's okay; there's no rush! We're having fun~ ]

I didn't have to prove that you're competitive...

[negativegate]

[That's right! :3 And I guess tomorrow we'll do grab bag stuff?]

So I'm saying that stuff wasn't my fault...entirely.
