Okay.

Somebody out there's gotta know the full answer to this, so I'm just gonna ask. How many kinds of curses are there? So far I'm counting status effects, crazy invented memory bullshit, world curses. Anything else?

If you've got a warning, SPEAK THE HELL NOW.

Only if your aim is better this time.

[errandry]

Hey, that was a fluke!

[ heading to the other room and back, easily, brandishing another tiny package with his return. ]

Three-second warning!

[merespark]

[ this time he's going to catch it. gloriously. ]

That's the way to go.

[errandry]

I try!

[ except instead of flopping into his seat, he's... striding over, crossing the floor, bracing a hand against the back of the couch and—bending to kiss Spitfire? however briefly.

wait. wait what just. ]

[merespark]

...........

[ that's... sudden?? ]

[ kazu what are you--? he blinks with a half-amused and half-confused smile on his face. never knew you had it in you. really. ]

1/3

[errandry]

[ the kiss is light and easy! and it might have stayed that way if Kazu hadn't thought about the movement. ]

[errandry]

Wh—

[ as it is, he sinks back, unthinking for all of a second before his actual brain kicks in—actually, it'd be almost impressive how fast his back hits the opposite wall, considering leg injuries and all, if it weren't for the whole Flame Road bit. ]

[errandry]

[ he's also muttering a lot of curses under his breath. like a dying bee stuck in a hat. ]

wzzzrtfckrngbstrdmroejegddmit.

[ well, they're probably curses. ]

1/2

[merespark]

[ leans a bit forward as he suddenly backs away, causing him almost lose his balance, but he recovers quickly. ]

[ if that wasn't a curse then... it was a curse, right? there's no reason why else... right? ]

[merespark]

[ i don't understand a word you're saying, but that body language tells all there is to know. ]

... Am I that irresistible? Haha...

[errandry]

[ god, how low can he pull the hem over his face, how much effort would it take to glue the damn thing on. ]

—wasn'tmyidea!

[merespark]

[ at that rate you're going to rip the thing in half. ]

That was a curse, wasn't it? What do you think triggered it? Haha, you're so red.

[errandry]

Hell if I know, it's like it just hits people out of the blue! Uh.

[ screw this, yanking off the hat because he feels ridiculous, and pressing a palm to his mouth instead. and studying the floor. ]

S-sorry.

[merespark]

[ slowly starts unwrapping the cookie. ]

I don't mind, it wasn't your fault. Just make sure you give me a heads-up next time.

[errandry]

Next—

[ .......................... ]

Next time I'm not even gonna bother getting out of my room. Shit.

[merespark]

Haha, c'mon, it could have been way worse than that. [ no seriously. it could have. ]

1/2

[errandry]

Yeah, this time!

[errandry]

Shit, now I'm saying it like that.

[merespark]

Do you want me to tie you somewhere so there won't be any risk of it happening again?

[errandry]

Wh—I'm fine! It's not gonna happen again! What kinda solution'd that be anyway.

[merespark]

Only trying to help.

[errandry]

[ that sounds sort of suspect. ]

[ that sounds really suspect. ]

[ ... but it's still Spitfire... ]

So—so I can stay in the other room or something! If I move into this one without forewarning, that'll be a clue.

[merespark]

Are we going to continue this conversation via yelling at each other from different rooms?

Or do you suggest we use cellphones? [ great thinking Kazu ]

[errandry]

Anything's gotta be better than getting tied to stuff.

[ he sits in his old seat, though, meanwhile. ]

[merespark]

Depends on the context. [ uh huh ]

I promise to karate-chop you the next time you try anything.
