[ineuphony]

H-Hold on a sec! You're not seriously going to let that happen, right? I mean this is just one of your "hahaha what if" talks... right?



...


Why aren't you saying anything? -- You're not making me feel reassured here!

Your mun... isn't thinking what I think she's thinking... is she?

[ineuphony]

If you're thinking about our sleepover, yes.

[hellebarde]

[SKREEEE]

Iapologizeinadvanceforwhatevermayhappen-!!

[ineuphony]

H-Hey... slow down. It's not your fault. I mean it... could be a lot worse.

( a sheepish smile. )

[hellebarde]

Why can't I get the other Christmas cracker...

[ineuphony]

( she pats her shoulder trying to... soothe her pain. )

I know you won't be able to help it, but... try not to go too crazy. And if you have to keep kissing me on the cheek or whatever, then... do that. I much rather you doing that to me than someone else and things get really complicated for you.

[hellebarde]

[waaaaaah] Maka-senpai is too kind-!

[ineuphony]

You'd the same for me. 'Sides, you'll have to deal with me singing everything I say. It's the least I could do.

[hellebarde]

But singing isn't so bad...

[ineuphony]

If you're good at it...

( maka, on the other hand, probably can't sing worth a crap. )

[hellebarde]

I'm sure you're great at it!! [like a songbird, be a songbird maka]

[ineuphony]

( she smiles. )

You're sweet, Tsugumi. Thanks.

[inthe_keyofcool]

What is she planning?

[ineuphony]

Something completely embarrassing.

[inthe_keyofcool]

Like what? It's not like your crazy dad is there to bother you. Is he?

[ineuphony]

No, he's not there. It's just me and Tsugumi.

[inthe_keyofcool]

So what's the problem?

[ineuphony]

Everyone is going to receive a Christmas cracker in their mailbox. Each cracker will contain magic and the person will either: A) get stuck with singing or B) get stuck with having the urge to kiss people until Christmas.

[inthe_keyofcool]

...[And he bursts into laughter.] You can't sing!

[ineuphony]

Tell me something I don't know.

[inthe_keyofcool]

That's not too bad. [Snicker, snicker, snicker. The second part of that hasn't sunk in yet, apparently.]

[ineuphony]

But Tsugumi is stuck kissing people. And she and I are planning a sleepover.

[inthe_keyofcool]

...

[ineuphony]

It's not going to be her fault! Especially when a lot of people will be... doing that, too. I mean, I rather her kiss me than some bozo, y'know?

I'm thinking... for her sake with this event, if she get urges to just... contact me. So she can just get it out of her system.

I DON'T HAVE A NOSEBLEED ICON I FAIL SOUL FOREVER

[inthe_keyofcool]

[Pardon Soul while he's over here having a nosebleed at the very thought.]

HAHHA 1/2

[ineuphony]

( PUNCHES HIM. )

[ineuphony]

YOU'RE SUCH A PERVERT!!

[inthe_keyofcool]

Did you have to punch me!?

[ineuphony]

Yes! Because you're being a creep!

[inthe_keyofcool]

[Not gonna argue right now because that punch really hurt damnit.] So that's why you're embarrassed?

[ineuphony]

Well, yeah. I've never been kissed. ( a pause. ) -- Er, I mean in this particular game and this particular version of me, I've never been kissed. And being kissed by a guy is one thing, but from a girl it's... --

( she scratches her cheek. )

-- It's something that never crossed my mind. Ugh, now I know how Crona feels. I don't think I can deal with this...

[inthe_keyofcool]

...Just pretend it's someone else? [Dueling awkward face scratchings go!]

[ineuphony]

Like who? Who in the world am I supposed to think about? I don't want to think about anyone.

[inthe_keyofcool]

Someone you actually like? [And he tries to play this off with a shrug.] It won't be that bad, Maka.

[ineuphony]

Easy for you to say. You're not the one having to go through with this. Just imagine yourself having to deal with Black☆Star kissing you on the lips every single time he sees you until the day after Christmas.

[inthe_keyofcool]

Did you have to put it like that? [He makes a face.]

[ineuphony]

Yes, because that's how it'll be! Granted, Tsugumi isn't a horrible person and I'm definitely thankful for that. But she's a friend and a friend that I don't know all too well so it makes this situation even more awkward.

[inthe_keyofcool]

You really know how to get into trouble, don't you?

[ineuphony]

I-I don't get into trouble! I haven't gotten into trouble in a long time.

[inthe_keyofcool]

[He can't help but grin at that.] Uh huh.

[ineuphony]

Fine, don't believe me.

[inthe_keyofcool]

You'd break the rules if it meant doing something you thought was right. [Another shrug.]

[ineuphony]

Some rules are meant to be broken.

[inthe_keyofcool]

Now you're making sense.

[ineuphony]

( she smiles a bit at him. )

I said some.

[inthe_keyofcool]

Yeah, yeah. Try not to get into serious trouble without me, ok?

[ineuphony]

The same goes for you.

( and her tone sounds a little less up-beat. she can't help but to miss her partner in crime. )

[inthe_keyofcool]

Yeah, you know I never get in trouble.

[ineuphony]

Sure.
