Event Twelve





I am a reaper whose muscles set at sundown.
All my oats are cradled. 
But I am too chilled,
and too fatigued to bind them. 
And I hunger. 





ou know what's probably amazing? Waking up to your previously normal front door suddenly being covered by a huge, autumn-themed wreath. Or perhaps you're close enough to the center of the Town to look out your window and get an eyeful of that effigy, staring soullessly at you?

The point is, there's a festival going on! The Town's been decorated accordingly (don't trip over sudden bales of hay), and towards the center of the Town, there are all sorts of fun games, tables of food, and other amazing things set up. Go prance onto the stage, sample some of the amazing food, convince one of your friends to play one of those bobbing for apples games...

Enjoy it! There doesn't seem to be much of a catch this time.

(At least, not until you eat the food, and then you'll figure out just what that "catch" is.)

[There are people who complain back home too, but they're usually either the honest ones who believed that "trying hard" helped you win or the realistic ones who didn't want to die playing Monopoly. You play to win or you don't play at all.

Shiho avoids all those dead-ends, heading for the exit with the accuracy of a psychometer who knows the layout just by touching the walls, keeping half an eye at all times on Ochako in case she got in trouble because she was still tied up and fell or something.

Ochako is fast though, she'll give her that and Shiho isn't sure she could just shoot her again (even if the thought does cross her mind because she's the worst friend ever). But yes, that's definitely Shiho nearly at the exit, stopping for half a minute when she hears Ochako.

That half a minute is what enables her to cross the finish line with one foot and win before she feels someone grab her arm. If she's going to float though, she's not going to float by herself!! She grabs onto Ochako's arm too.]


Ochako-chan! Wha- Don't be a sore loser!

[Ochako's lungs are on fire from all the hopping and sprinting she's been forced to do, but she is determined to cross the finish line at all costs!! It's why she doesn't think twice about sending Shiho right up into the sky. Suffer, you cheater...

But that smug, self-righteous feeling immediately disappears when Shiho decides to hold onto her arm for dear life. She only has, like, one toe on the finish line when she's abruptly yanked backwards, because she is the sandbag to Shiho's balloon. Could she float, too? Yes, and that would make it easier on herself, but she's not about to give in!
]

I can't be a sore loser when you cheated! I was going to win and you know it, so let! Go!

[She's going to grit her teeth and try to pull her arm free from Shiho's grasp, so hopefully Shiho enjoys being shaken the heck around. This thread is terrible? I love it.]

I'm not letting go! [Because then she'll float away, Ochako, geez!

Instead she'll double down, head tucking in and wrapping both arms around Ochako's one arm. Don't underestimate her, she's had Kaoru clinging to her every night since she was five years old!]


And you're talking about something that didn't even happen! [Because first one over the line wins and that had clearly been her!]

Don't make me shoot you again! [Never mind that she'd actually have to.... let go. BUT IT'S FINE

Someone else come win instead and save these girls from themselves and each other.]

[THE SHAKING CONTINUES!!!!!! It gets even rougher, actually, because god damn...]

You can't just shoot people when you feel like it! That's—it's not right!

[And so on, and so forth. You know, they probably keep this back-and-forth going for another minute or so, but eventually... Ochako's arm definitely begins feeling the strain. She doesn't want to give in! She loathes the idea of giving in, actually, yet she quits shaking her arm like a maniac long enough to lower Shiho right down to the ground—

—and swiftly release her quirk. Hope you enjoy landing right on your butt, Shiho! Ochako isn't normally the type to endorse such a thing, but she's preeeeeetty satisfied by the sight... even if she does, you know, get dragged right along with her. It's fine! She's FINE! She will scramble to her feet and try to run right back over to the finish line, because that's just how this is going to go.

[Shiho can shoot her and she will. Landing with an "oof" right on her butt, she could glare except she kind of drags Ochako right down with her too.

This is fine. It's FINE!!

Because she's going to kick out and try to sweep Ochako's legs out from underneath her.]

[And Ochako goes right back down with a yelp—only to begin belly crawling toward the exit just as quickly as she possibly can. Thank goodness for hero training? She's learned to roll with any and all punches.

But once that line is CROSSED, she turns right back around to point a finger accusingly at her so-called friend.
]

Why do you keep trying to cheat? You're acting just like a—

[A villain! But that's... mean to say, even in her annoyed state, so she huffs loudly and slowly stands once more.]

...I'm just glad that it's over.

[It's because she pretty much is a villain. The only thing stopping her is her upbringing and Minamoto.

Shiho is unrepentant though from where she's sitting on the ground because there's wanting to win and then there's not wanting to crawl through the dirt.]


Because the point of any game is to win. [But she will look a little guiltily at Ochako's chin.]

...Does it hurt?

[personal profile] thriftea 2018-11-03 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Part of Ochako is GLAD that Shiho spotted that little scrape, but... well, the other part of her—the vast majority, if we're being honest—doesn't want to actually worry the other girl. She gingerly brings a hand to her chin, absolutely refusing to grimace.]

This? Not really. I've had way worse.

[And that's not a lie! But after a split-second of hesitation, she walks over to Shiho and, like, bends down the slightest bit. Offering her hand is probably a no-go, but she'll offer her arm for Shiho to grab.]

...Here. Let's get you off the ground, okay? We can talk about how we tied when you're back on your feet.

[That's right! She said it! A TIE! And that is quite the concession for her to make, Shiho...]
good_ideas: (geez || I need air freshener)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-11-04 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[It's too late, she's already worried. Besides, all she has to do is touch Ochako's hand and she'll know just how bad that scrape may be.

Which is exactly what she does with only a little bit of hesitation, taking Ochako's arm and pulling herself back into a standing position.]


I can live with a tie. [But just this once.]
