kitchen - monday

[keepsthefire]

[Monday afternoon will find the resident half-demon perched at the kitchen table, surrounded by cooking books, a note pad, and several crumpled up pieces of paper.

He looks a mite frustrated about something, and will keep mumbling to himself, scratching at his hair, and scratching out things after writing them down until some one bothers him]

[spacecase]

[For once, Jade isn't teleporting around to get to places, so when she sees Rin she's making a beeline to the fridge, bass strapped to her back.

It then occurs to her that Rin seems to be in deep thought (a rare sight, cough) so she walks over to him.]

Hey, whatcha doing?

[symmetrophile]

Ahem.

[All at once, there's the hollow clunk of a small metal wastebin dropped onto the floor beside Rin and the table littered with crumpled wads of paper.

With one gesture, a black-sleeved arm sweeps the offending clutter off the edge and into the trash receptacle.]

...That's better.

[Now that the immediate issue is dealt with, Kid can indulge his curiosity, pulling one of the scraps back out of the wastebin and attempting to flatten it out so he can read the scribbles there. That proves to be a useless effort.]

What are you doing?

[halfhearted]

[Rin probably has picked up on his present pretty quickly, especially with the noises. There was a ruffling of a bag, unwrapping of a wrapper, and crunching of the candy that he popped in his mouth.

After another cycle of candy munching, he'll help himself further in and plop some candy down in reach of the other. Just the standard cherry, orange, and watermelon flavors of hard candy.

He was without a hat so far, and keeping quiet as he munched on another piece from his bag.]

kitchen - monday

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Preparing for your lessons?

[The jade troll was stopped in the kitchen doorway. Don't mind her, she just felt like spending some more time around the villa. Too many people she doesn't get to see often enough, all piled in one convenient place. And if she's going to meet with Jade and Maka, she might as well take some time to get to know the other residents, right?]

Monday - living room

[spacecase]

[Jade is in much higher spirits than she has been lately, though given that she's Jade "high spirits" is indistinguishable from her usual brand of cheeriness. At this moment, she's situated herself sitting in midair, several tasks she's doing floating around her. Her bass, some plans and tools for a new robot, a few books--she doesn't appear to be done with thinking up new tasks for herself to do either, she occasionally stops and ties a new colored string to her fingers. A reminder of something that she needs to do so all the ideas forming in her head don't push this one out.]

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Oh, hello Jade.

[She was about to pass by the living room entirely, but she couldn't miss greeting her space sister, and lets face it, it's hard to not notice a flying dog witch with a bunch of things floating around her.]

Keeping quite busy, I see.

yard - Wednesday

[doctor_dragoon]

[Yukio's been in Vatheon less than a month, but he's already settled in fairly well... outwardly. Or at least that's how it seems when he's actually in the villa, which isn't all that often. Not with the two jobs he's already managed to procure to keep himself busy. Seeing him just lingering around the house is rare, but today just happens to be a rare sort of day.

Anyone who wanders outside will find Yukio on his hands and knees in the grass, carefully tending a new little patch of herbs he's just planted. Stranger than that? He's wearing a rather frilly, flowered hat. Fabulous.]

[paladaddy]

[The gardening he does not question. The hat, he does.]

What did you end up planting?

[proudsister]

[ At some point, Yukio is going to find a shadow falling over him as Liz comes up from behind. She leans over him, hands clasped behind her back, as she tries to see what he's doing. ]

Whatcha doin' there?

[spacecase]

It doesn't match.

[Wait what--

Oh hi, Yukio, it's that doggirl witch again, hovering above the ground and staring at him.]

The hat, I mean, it doesn't match your eyes or your outfit.

living room - Tuesday

[paladaddy]

[Shiro is in the living room, and he is actually lounging about on one of the couches today.

He also happens to be holding Mephisto's hat. Don't ask how he got it, he just has it.

He's not wearing it yet, but he is twirling it on the tip of one of his fingers in a nonchalant manner as he searches the channels on the tv.]

[keepsthefire]

[hat wat]

...

[Rin actually stops dead in his tracks and doubles back to stare at it for a second]

How'd you get that?

[pierrotdemonique]

Thou shalt not steal.

[ He walks in... no sauntering, no sudden dramatic entrance demanding his hat back. Just walking in and folding his arms against the back of the couch Shiro sits in. He's not garish today, either. Modestly dressed in a plain black cassock. It's a little scary, really. ]

Or so it says in the Holy Book.

Any day tbh

[heartandsoul]

[Because when is Maka NOT reading?

If one were to happen upon her they would find her settled in reading a book...backwards?

No, it's just a text that happens to be in Japanese. If anyone is going to throw themselves bodily into reintroducing themselves to a language they technically know, it's Maka. Approach y/n?]

[keepsthefire]

[Hope you're okay with surprise hugs from behind, Maka. Not a tackling hug or anything, just sudden boyfriend arms around you and a chin on your shoulder.]

What'cha reaaadin'?

Re: Any day tbh

[howamanlives]

Hey Maka.

[Oh hey, it's Masaru. He has... never tried to chat Maka up when she was reading.

Or shown any interest in books before.

What is this?]

Good book?

Back when they talked about this thing.

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[Looks like a delivery of new books has just arrived, in care of a certain troll friend. Something seems a bit off about her today though: she's not glowing at all.]

Hello Ms. Albarn.

backyard - monday

[circumsutus]

[So, Stein has actually managed to acquire a scythe. Obviously not a demon weapon, and no he's not replacing Marie, but there's something comforting about a scythe in his hands.

The scythe is built almost identically to Spirit's weapon form, a faintly curved blade narrowing to a needle-sharp point, the blade attached to the main staff with a short bar, though the colors are more traditional metal-and-wood instead of Spirit's completely black form.

It's not Spirit, the balance isn't quite the same, and there's no response from it. But adjusting to the use of an inert weapon isn't going to be too difficult for Stein.

So, Stein's practicing. Shibusen scythemeisters are nothing if not flashy.]

[paladaddy]

[Shiro knows well enough not to interrupt, so he'll lean against a wall and watch Stein until he stops his practice.

Knight (which includes all weapons that aren't ranged, even scythes) was always Shiro's weakest area, and he doesn't have any personal experience with scythes, but he can still tell that Stein knows what he's doing.]

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[Heads up Stein. You've got an audience, in the form of a young troll girl in a dress watching nearby. She waits to say anything until he finishes a set of moves. She doesn't want to distract or interrupt him, after all.]

I never actually seen one of those in use. It's nothing like I expected.

[keepsthefire]

[Rin has seen Maka with a scythe a few times - also not her weapon partner, but it mattered little given her skill with it. It's impressive, to say the least, and one of the few things he envies about her since he knows his own skill with a blade is intermediate at best.

He watches from the sliding glass door, leaning against the frame, keeping quiet as Stein went through his practice.]

Re: backyard - monday

[doctor_dragoon]

[Oh Lord, it's the crazy man who happens to live in the same house Yukio does. And the crazy man has a large weapon. Strangely enough, though, the exorcist can't quite make himself turn and walk away just yet.

Yukio's no Knight, but like his father, he recognizes a skilled fighter when he sees one. So... he's just going to watch quietly from the safety of the house. Seriously, he's practically hiding by the edge of the door.]

[heartandsoul]

[A wild kawaii student appears! She seems to be holding something behind her back.]

Professor! I've got something for you!

i'm late i'm late for a very important date

[secondcoolest]

[ Well, there's no hat thing on Bon's head thankfully. Blissfully curse free this time, it seems.

He can be found in a couple of places, as usual:

A - out near the garden in his zen space. Today he's working on the sand garden.

B - the library; gotta keep reading.

C - his room. Wanna chat? Stop on by!

D - elsewhere. Seriously he can basically be anywhere that isn't someone else's room. ]

Yo.
