Ellspen from Self Aware. LIKE LISTEN. I KNOW I WRITE THE THING. BUT I NEVER CONSIDERED THAT UNTIL READERS STARTED SHIPPING IT
C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will (be nice)
Uhhh idk I never thought about it. Ig i’m not really a fan of Aizawa/All Might? that’s the first ship to come to mind. oh and also Hawks/Endeavor. not my cup o tea, never will be
D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t (again: be nice)
Any ship with Tanaka from haikyuu that Isnt him and kiyoko. like art of him and enoshita or him and noya are Cute, but i just dont ship it

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why
I don’t think tumblr’s ever stopped making me like a fandom, but just like. stop going in tumblr’s tag for it. for example 15ish year old me was NOT ready to see the things in the undertale tag that i did. oh god the horrors.
J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr
i dont think tumblrs ever led me to starting a show/getting into a fandom, but pinterest has. most of my fandoms have been through seeing random things on pinterest ngl
K -Say something nice about someone in any of your fandoms
Vigilantedekus is The Best and I Love Them
L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves (chars you’re neutral on are fair game, as are chars you dislike)
Matsuda from death note might’ve been played as the “Funny because he keeps fuckin up” kinda chara, but i do like that he was the one to shoot light and that he had that kind of outburst about light’s dad. BUT ALSO MATSUDA’S THEORY IN THE END OF THE MANGA? RIGHTS.
M - Say something genuinely nice about a ship that you don’t ship (or its shippers, or anything related to you)

Right now “The mind electric” reminds me of Jamie from SA, “Butterfly’s Repose” reminds me of Mell And Kai
P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)
uh uh uh uh Self Aware but without Aviancorp. That’s the only difference. The au is just what kind of ripple effect it would have on everyone and their lives
Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why
nothing’s coming to mind
R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships
Sobs. Seki and Shimizu from Goodnight Punpun. I only say them for this because theres So Little People who know them

Athen (my oc, Choosing(02)) wants to see hatsune miku because he uses a voicebank to speak and “! she sounds like me!” 
T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)
I’m going to do these with my OCs instead. because while im the author, they’re headcanons because most of them i cant Really make canon: 
Athen has a mothman pajama set. He and adam have matching “Humanfucker”/”Robofucker” shirts
athen Has seriously wondered if adam would leave him for mothman
athen gets a pet roomba named Hal
Jamie would be a good parent
Sam (one of the dead kids from Subject 402/SA-) would’ve been a soccer player if she lived
Letho (the Other dead kid) would’ve been an art student
if jordan(Kai) had a Normal Life and WASNT a human experiment, he wouldnt be very accomplished in school despite being a genius, he’d be kinda a delinquent and getting in trouble a lot
If mell had a younger sibling, people would probably think HE’S the youngest one. they would not believe he were older if they were close in age
U - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms
Mob from Mob psycho
L and Light are tied
Aizawa and Shinsou and Deku are top faves ig
ash and eiji from banana fish. love them. AND SHORTER> LOVE HIM
i like punpun as a character but if i had the chance i would prolly throw hands
V - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

Shindeku OR tododeku - bnha
(Letho and (Redacted)) - Self Aware (but like. the au if letho Lived)

ngl there aren’t many Precious Babies. like I’d say Hinata is a precious baby but haikyuu ends when he’s like fuckin 30 so what counts as a precious baby hmmm
Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)

Bar Fight
Because I love protective little sis Anna.
“What were you thinking?” 
Anna didn’t meet her sister’s gaze, but she didn’t apologize, either. Beside her, Kristoff squirmed. His movement didn’t go unnoticed. 
“And you! What were you thinking, letting her do that?!” 
Kristoff cleared his throat nervously and spoke in a voice nearly an octave higher than usual. “I-in my defense, I tried to stop her! This black eye came from her elbow when I tried!” 
This time, Anna did grimace. She hadn’t meant to hurt Kristoff. Elsa groaned and buried her face in her hands. After a moment, she waved her hand. “Alright, fine. You can go, Kristoff.” 
Kristoff hurried to his feet. Anna shot him a panicked, pleading look. He just shrugged and gave her a look that clearly told her she deserved it before he left. She resisted the urge to stick her tongue out at the door. 
“Anna.” 
She looked at her timidly. “Yes?”
  “What happened?” 
“Nothing.” 
“You sent a man to the hospital. You’d better have a good reason.” 
She shook her head and looked at the ground. Quiet footsteps approached her and her head was tilted up to meet angry yet worried blue eyes. She hadn’t exactly come out unscathed.
  “Tell me. Now.” 
Anna made a decision right then and there. She would not tell Elsa the truth. It was a dangerous decision, for Elsa would be furious if she found out, and an angry Elsa was way too reminiscent of their mother. But she just couldn’t know.
  “I got in a fight.” 
“I know that, but why?”
  She shrugged. “It was stupid. I can’t even remember what he said.” 
Elsa rubbed her temples. “Anna, I should not have to tell you this, but you cannot fight people just because you’re angry. As a princess, you have to set an example.” 
Anna shot to her feet, an angry response on her tongue, but last minute, perhaps for the first time, she held it back. She bit her tongue and clenched her fists. “I know,” she responded robotically. “I’m sorry. I will not do it again.” 
She felt Elsa’s eyes burning into her. She prayed that she would just believe her and move on. After a few moments, Elsa spoke. “Alright. Go find Gerda and let her take care of your wounds. I’ll see you at dinner.” 
Anna nodded stiffly and walked out. ‘She can’t know, she can’t know.’ As much as she wanted to defend herself, she wanted to protect Elsa more. ‘She can’t know what they said about her.’ 
If Anna would have looked behind her, she would have seen Elsa looking at her suspiciously. She went back inside her study, closing the door behind her, and sat at her desk. For the next hour, she tried to work, but she just couldn’t focus. Something wasn’t right. It wasn’t like Anna to take an accusation like that without replying with some sort of justification. She knew she had wanted to. But what held her back? And she had lied to her, as well. She could tell. It wasn’t just ‘nothing’. Despite her feisty personality, Anna was a gentle person. She’d never hurt anyone without a reason for doing so. 
‘Maybe they insulted Kristoff?’ She shook her head. ‘But why would she lie about that?’ 
Finally giving up on getting any work done, she decided to find the ice harvester himself to find the truth. She walked to the stable and found Kristoff there, talking quietly to Sven. 
“How’s your eye?” Kristoff yelped and nearly tripped over his own feet. She cringed. “Sorry.” 
“No, no, it’s alright. I’m fine.” He rubbed the back of his head. “So, what brings you here?” 
Elsa approached him and hesitantly patted Sven’s nose when he stretched his neck out to greet her. She examined his stiff posture and how he refused to make eye contact. “Kristoff, relax. I’m not angry at you.” She frowned at his swollen eye. “Would you like some ice for that?” 
He slumped in relief. “Yes, please.” 
She made a handkerchief and filled it with ice and handed it to him. He sighed in relief as the cold soothed his skin. After a moment, she spoke. “Kristoff, what happened today? Anna won’t tell the truth, she actually lied to me, in fact. But I need to know the truth.” At his hesitance, she added, “You’re not betraying her. I won’t even tell her you told me.” 
He finally gave in. “Alright. I took Anna to the local bar. Not to get drunk!” he added hurriedly. “She just wanted to check the place out. Then she heard this guy say, uh...” he hesitated. 
“Something about you?” 
He shook his head. “No, it was about you.” 
Her brows shot up. “Me? What did he say about me?” 
Kristoff again shifted nervously. “I probably shouldn’t say. It wasn’t nice.” 
Elsa sighed impatiently. “Please, just tell me.” 
“He called you a-please forgive me for saying this-an ice bitch. And some other stuff I promise you don’t want to hear and I can’t say.” 
She had to say that stung a little, but she already knew some people had less-than-positive opinions of her. She chose to ignore it for now. “What happened next?” 
“Well, Anna heard, so you can imagine how upset she got. When she lunged the first time, I caught her, but she elbowed me in the face, so I let go. Then she proceeded to beat the living sh-uh, beat him up.” 
Elsa nodded. “So, she beat him up...for me?” Her throat was suddenly dry.
  Kristoff’s face softened. “Yeah. She really loves you, you know?” 
Elsa couldn’t respond vocally, but she nodded. She turned away when her eyes began to sting. He was kind enough to pretend not to notice. She finally composed herself enough to speak. “Thank you for telling me. I’ll go talk to her.” 
She went back to the castle and straight up to Anna’s room. She knocked gently. “Anna?” 
There was silence, and she was afraid she was being ignored, but then the door opened. Her heart broke at her red eyes that meant she had been crying. Anna stepped aside so she could come in and shut the door. Elsa sat in awkward silence, wringing her hands, trying to come up with words to express how she was feeling. Eventually, she just gave up and, in a very Anna-like manner, pulled her into a hug. Anna gasped in shock, but then recovered and returned it, for she could never refuse her hugs; she had gone too long without. 
Elsa tried hard not to cry, and she was mostly successful. She waited until she had composed herself before pulling away to look at her. She took her hands and rubbed them. “I...know what happened. What really happened.” 
Anna’s eyes widened. “How-Kristoff!” She growled the last part. 
“Don’t be mad at him, I made him tell me.” She squeezed her eyes shut; she didn’t know where to begin. “Anna, I...thank you.” She pulled her back into the hug as a few tears ran down her cheeks. “Thank you for defending me. I...you...” She buried her face in her shoulder. 
Anna was confused and concerned. Elsa wasn’t usually like this. “E-Elsa?” 
“I’m sorry,” she mumbled, voice shaking. “I’m just not used to having people defend me, that’s all.” 
Now that made Anna want to cry. She hugged her tighter, burying her face in her neck. “Of course I defended you,” she said. “You’re my sister. No one’s allowed to talk about you like that, I don’t care who they are. And he was wrong.” She moved her head so she could kiss her cheek before continuing the embrace. She was perfectly content to stay this way, no matter how long Elsa needed it.
  Elsa finally leaned back to hold her face. She smiled warmly, eyes glistening. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.” When Anna just grinned back, she peppered her face with kisses, because she loved her more than anything. Anna’s giggle, like always, made her heart sing and reminded her that maybe Anna was right, maybe she wasn’t all those things after all. 
She pressed a final kiss to her forehead before leaning hers against her. “Can you do something for me?” 
“Anything.” 
“Try not to send anyone else to the hospital next time someone says something offensive about me.” 
Anna giggled. “I will make no such promises, but... I guess I’ll try.” 
Elsa sighed and shook her head fondly. “I guess that’s all I can ask.” For she didn’t want to change her. She loved every bit of her, slightly violent tendencies and all.

So I just finished s01 of Shadowhunters and I have some thinky thoughts about it. I’m putting it under the cut because it’s not all positive (well, most of it isnt really) and if you are a die-hard malec shipper, you should probably skip this.
Overall, I think my opinion so far can be summed up as this show has a lot of potential to be really good and interesting and nobody seems to want to do anything about it. I mean the set up is great - demons threatening the world? Awesome. A secret society of warriors whose purpose is to protect the world? Nice. Magic? Warlocks? AU worlds? Perfect. Class issues between the races? Homophobia? Relevant and important concepts to tackle. So in theory everything is great. But in practice? Not so much.
I think the two main issues this season has are 1) thngs happening way too fast and not enough time and focus given to certain topics and characters in order to understand their motivations and the worldbuilding of this universe and 2) the problem with show, dont tell - that is to say we keep being told things but almost never shown anything to actually back up these claims.
Now I know there are time limits and you cant fit everything into a single episode or even a single season and you shouldnt have to. I’m not saying they should have crammed everything into 13 episodes. That is not the issue. The problem is that when topics that should be given due focus and time within the specific episode arent, things get confusing. For example, why did Alec decide to marry Lydia? We find out in the next episode that he’s decided to restore the family honor on his own terms after finding out about his parents’ past. Which is great. We have Alec’s motivation. But in the episode itself where he proposed everything was set up for him to follow his heart. That was the theme of the episode and Alec through the entire thing kept agreeing with Magnus and whoever else was telling him to do what he wants. Only for him to turn around simingly out of nowhere in the literal last minute of the episode and decide to get married. Dont get me wrong, I dont have a problem with him NOT choosing to follow his heart given the situation but there wasnt enough focus on his struggle between the two during the episode in order to make his last-minute turn seem less weird. And that doesnt even cover Lydia’s side of thngs. Why did she decide to get married to a literal stranger after meeting him like yesterday? And this is not an exxageration - Alec proposes literally 2 or 3 days max after Lydia shows up. Is she that desperate to run an institute? Wouldnt she be allowed to have the position if she’s not married? Why does it even matter - doesnt it make more sense to give her the position based on her skills and results on the job? We dont know. But these are the sort of worldbuilding questions you might want to answer.
This is just one example of how things are going way too fast and there’s not enough time given to explain the characters and universe properly. There are more but if I keep going, we’ll be here tomorrow too. I’m not even gonna bother to cover all the scenes that just flat out do not make sense cause then we’ll never leave.
The other thing bothers me even more - there are sooo many things we are TOLD but never really SHOWN - Alec has been in love with Jace for I dont know how many years, Alec is repressed, the SH society is homophobic (admittedly we are not told this in canon, I dont believe? but that is at least the implication made), Magnus is in love with Alec and Alec feels the same, Magnus is a centuries-old warlock, one of the most powerful people in the world, Ragnor is even more powerful, etc etc. But. Where is the evidence? If Alec has spent so long being in love with Jace and repressed, wouldnt it have been more difficult for Magnus to get him to agree to a date than one half-assed phone call? Wouldnt Alec be struggling even more with accepting that Magnus is interested and panicking about what to do, denying everything with all his might? Shouldnt there be more struggle here?
So far I havent seen any signs of anyone in the Institute being homophobic. Maybe that changes in s02 but so far? Nope. Even Alec’s parents whom fandom for some reason has decided to demonize as some kind of terrible scumbags are not homophobic and actually hella decent people all things considered. Lydia is not homophobic. The goddamn Silent Brother seemed more interested in the kissing scene than anything else.
Warlocks are supposed to be hella powerful yet Magnus needed Alec’s help to fight off ONE circle member and Ragnor got killed by a TINY demon thingy that even Clary can handle. We were told Magnus cares so much about that necklace he’d risk his life to get it back yet 5mins later just casually gives it away to Izzy and doesnt mention it again. 
Clary and co LOVE to make these passionate speeches about how they’re the new generation of shadowhunters who respect the downworlders and believe everyone is their equal and the Clave is wrong - yet the moment a downworlder refuses to help them, they have no problem blackmailing, focing, lying and going behind their back to get what they want. And this is admittedly not a bad thing to show that these people despite their good intentions cant just change over night, if the narrative at least acknowledged their hypocrisy as a sign they need to grow some more but it doesnt.
Again, I an keep going but I wont. And finally there’s Malec. By all accounts I think this is the thng that disaapointed me the most. It could have been so awesome if developed properly! Like again we have a great set up - two people from opposite sides of the war, leaders to their respective groups, meeting and falling in love against all odds - it’s basically every enemies to friends to lovers fic ever and it’s AWESOME. Except not really because the way they play it in canon is just what even? So they meet and Magnus is obviously sexually attracted to Alec and wants to pursue that. Cool. Alec is... feeling whatever it is he’s feeling, I honestly cant even tell if he was interested from the start or just happy someone was paying attention to him. I suppose that stuttering scene when Magnus introduces himself is supposed to show he’s interested. Or something. Then Magnus calls to ask him on a date which yay, makes sense with how eager he was when they met. And then Alec agrees. And this is where things start going wonky for me.  Why does he agree so easily? Isnt he supposed to be in love with Jace? Isnt he supposed to be terrified of anyone finding out he’s gay? Next scene after they heal Luke, Magnus goes you’ve unlocked something in me and I go was it your dick? Because this line for all its romantic vibe and whatnot in the context we’ve been presented so far makes no sense. Because now the show wants me to believe that Magnus fell in love at first sight. Except this is not how they played it - what I saw was Magnus being really fricking horny. I did not see any grand revelations of omg, I just fell in love for the first time in over a century with this hot piece of shadowhunting ass I just met. Now I’m supposed to believe Malec has had enough development and enough scenes together to warrant such a strong emotional reaction from Magnus two episode after meeting Alec and after like 2? 3? scenes interacting with him. Insert the sure jan gif here.
Fast forward to the wedding - awesome scene really. Kiss and all (such a hot kiss and I ask why arent they kissing like that in s02 instead of these we’ve been married for 50years and cant wait for one of us to die already pecks?). But again, it only works if you ignore the context and take it as a stand alone scene. Because otherwise the emotional depth that it’s supposed to have? Goes out the window to stand besides all the emotional and mental development that was needed between them in order to make the scene really work and resonate on a deep level. And dont even get me started on how wrong Magnus acted at the beginning of the episode.
I can buy - at a push, a big big BIG push - that Magnus fell in love from the start but I absolutely do not believe Alec did as well. Honestly, I dont believe he loves Magnus even now in s02 (I havent watched it yet but I have enough context about some of their key scenes to say this, there is no way I man in love would tell his boyfriend not to take a treath to his life PERSONALLY, amongst other things). And that is just sad. Because this could have been a great love story, all the fire and passion and fireworkd like we keep getting told there is but what we see is something different.

The Importance of Being Earnest
The Importance Of Being Earnest August 22, 2017 SCENE Morning-room in Algernons flat in Half-Moon Street. The room is luxuriously and artistically furnished. The sound of a piano is heard in the adjoining room. [Lane is arranging afternoon tea on the table, and after the music has ceased, Algernon enters.] READ: The paperback version of the importance of being earnest on Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/1975665783/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_qlkNzbXTHMP86 Algernon. Did you hear what I was playing, Lane? Lane. I didnt think it polite to listen, sir. Algernon. Im sorry for that, for your sake. I dont play accuratelyany one can play accuratelybut I play with wonderful expression. As far as the piano is concerned, sentiment is my forte. I keep science for Life. Lane. Yes, sir. Algernon. And, speaking of the science of Life, have you got the cucumber sandwiches cut for Lady Bracknell? Lane. Yes, sir. [Hands them on a salver.] Algernon. [Inspects them, takes two, and sits down on the sofa.] Oh! . . . by the way, Lane, I see from your book that on Thursday night, when Lord Shoreman and Mr. Worthing were dining with me, eight bottles of champagne are entered as having been consumed. Lane. Yes, sir; eight bottles and a pint. Algernon. Why is it that at a bachelors establishment the servants invariably drink the champagne? I ask merely for information. Lane. I attribute it to the superior quality of the wine, sir. I have often observed that in married households the champagne is rarely of a first-rate brand. Algernon. Good heavens! Is marriage so demoralising as that? Lane. I believe it is a very pleasant state, sir. I have had very little experience of it myself up to the present. I have only been married once. That was in consequence of a misunderstanding between myself and a young person. Algernon. [Languidly.] I dont know that I am much interested in your family life, Lane. Lane. No, sir; it is not a very interesting subject. I never think of it myself. Algernon. Very natural, I am sure. That will do, Lane, thank you. Lane. Thank you, sir. [Lane goes out.] Algernon. Lanes views on marriage seem somewhat lax. Really, if the lower orders dont set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them? They seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility. [Enter Lane.] Lane. Mr. Ernest Worthing. [Enter Jack.] [Lane goes out.] Algernon. How are you, my dear Ernest? What brings you up to town? Jack. Oh, pleasure, pleasure! What else should bring one anywhere? Eating as usual, I see, Algy! Algernon. [Stiffly.] I believe it is customary in good society to take some slight refreshment at five oclock. Where have you been since last Thursday? Jack. [Sitting down on the sofa.] In the country. Algernon. What on earth do you do there? Jack. [Pulling off his gloves.] When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring. Algernon. And who are the people you amuse? Jack. [Airily.] Oh, neighbours, neighbours. Algernon. Got nice neighbours in your part of Shropshire? Jack. Perfectly horrid! Never speak to one of them. Algernon. How immensely you must amuse them! [Goes over and takes sandwich.] By the way, Shropshire is your county, is it not? Jack. Eh? Shropshire? Yes, of course. Hallo! Why all these cups? Why cucumber sandwiches? Why such reckless extravagance in one so young? Who is coming to tea? Algernon. Oh! merely Aunt Augusta and Gwendolen. Jack. How perfectly delightful! Algernon. Yes, that is all very well; but I am afraid Aunt Augusta wont quite approve of your being here. Jack. May I ask why? Algernon. My dear fellow, the way you flirt with Gwendolen is perfectly disgraceful. It is almost as bad as the way Gwendolen flirts with you. Jack. I am in love with Gwendolen. I have come up to town expressly to propose to her. Algernon. I thought you had come up for pleasure? . . . I call that business. Jack. How utterly unromantic you are! Algernon. I really dont see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, Ill certainly try to forget the fact. Jack. I have no doubt about that, dear Algy. The Divorce Court was specially invented for people whose memories are so curiously constituted. Algernon. Oh! there is no use speculating on that subject. Divorces are made in Heaven[Jack puts out his hand to take a sandwich. Algernon at once interferes.] Please dont touch the cucumber sandwiches. They are ordered specially for Aunt Augusta. [Takes one and eats it.] Jack. Well, you have been eating them all the time. Algernon. That is quite a different matter. She is my aunt. [Takes plate from below.] Have some bread and butter. The bread and butter is for Gwendolen. Gwendolen is devoted to bread and butter. Jack. [Advancing to table and helping himself.] And very good bread and butter it is too. Algernon. Well, my dear fellow, you need not eat as if you were going to eat it all. You behave as if you were married to her already. You are not married to her already, and I dont think you ever will be. Jack. Why on earth do you say that? Algernon. Well, in the first place girls never marry the men they flirt with. Girls dont think it right. Jack. Oh, that is nonsense! Algernon. It isnt. It is a great truth. It accounts for the extraordinary number of bachelors that one sees all over the place. In the second place, I dont give my consent. Jack. Your consent! Algernon. My dear fellow, Gwendolen is my first cousin. And before I allow you to marry her, you will have to clear up the whole question of Cecily. [Rings bell.] Jack. Cecily! What on earth do you mean? What do you mean, Algy, by Cecily! I dont know any one of the name of Cecily. [Enter Lane.] Algernon. Bring me that cigarette case Mr. Worthing left in the smoking-room the last time he dined here. Lane. Yes, sir. [Lane goes out.] Jack. Do you mean to say you have had my cigarette case all this time? I wish to goodness you had let me know. I have been writing frantic letters to Scotland Yard about it. I was very nearly offering a large reward. Algernon. Well, I wish you would offer one. I happen to be more than usually hard up. Jack. There is no good offering a large reward now that the thing is found. [Enter Lane with the cigarette case on a salver. Algernon takes it at once. Lane goes out.] Algernon. I think that is rather mean of you, Ernest, I must say. [Opens case and examines it.] However, it makes no matter, for, now that I look at the inscription inside, I find that the thing isnt yours after all. Jack. Of course its mine. [Moving to him.] You have seen me with it a hundred times, and you have no right whatsoever to read what is written inside. It is a very ungentlemanly thing to read a private cigarette case. Algernon. Oh! it is absurd to have a hard and fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldnt. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldnt read. Jack. I am quite aware of the fact, and I dont propose to discuss modern culture. It isnt the sort of thing one should talk of in private. I simply want my cigarette case back. Algernon. Yes; but this isnt your cigarette case. This cigarette case is a present from some one of the name of Cecily, and you said you didnt know any one of that name. Jack. Well, if you want to know, Cecily happens to be my aunt. Algernon. Your aunt! Jack. Yes. Charming old lady she is, too. Lives at Tunbridge Wells. Just give it back to me, Algy. Algernon. [Retreating to back of sofa.] But why does she call herself little Cecily if she is your aunt and lives at Tunbridge Wells? [Reading.] From little Cecily with her fondest love. Jack. [Moving to sofa and kneeling upon it.] My dear fellow, what on earth is there in that? Some aunts are tall, some aunts are not tall. That is a matter that surely an aunt may be allowed to decide for herself. You seem to think that every aunt should be exactly like your aunt! That is absurd! For Heavens sake give me back my cigarette case. [Follows Algernon round the room.] Algernon. Yes. But why does your aunt call you her uncle? From little Cecily, with her fondest love to her dear Uncle Jack. There is no objection, I admit, to an aunt being a small aunt, but why an aunt, no matter what her size may be, should call her own nephew her uncle, I cant quite make out. Besides, your name isnt Jack at all; it is Ernest. Jack. It isnt Ernest; its Jack. Algernon. You have always told me it was Ernest. I have introduced you to every one as Ernest. You answer to the name of Ernest. You look as if your name was Ernest. You are the most earnest-looking person I ever saw in my life. It is perfectly absurd your saying that your name isnt Ernest. Its on your cards. Here is one of them. [Taking it from case.] Mr. Ernest Worthing, B. 4, The Albany. Ill keep this as a proof that your name is Ernest if ever you attempt to deny it to me, or to Gwendolen, or to any one else. [Puts the card in his pocket.] Jack. Well, my name is Ernest in town and Jack in the country, and the cigarette case was given to me in the country. Algernon. Yes, but that does not account for the fact that your small Aunt Cecily, who lives at Tunbridge Wells, calls you her dear uncle. Come, old boy, you had much better have the thing out at once. Jack. My dear Algy, you talk exactly as if you were a dentist. It is very vulgar to talk like a dentist when one isnt a dentist. It produces a false impression. Algernon. Well, that is exactly what dentists always do. Now, go on! Tell me the whole thing. I may mention that I have always suspected you of being a confirmed and secret Bunburyist; and I am quite sure of it now. Jack. Bunburyist? What on earth do you mean by a Bunburyist? Algernon. Ill reveal to you the meaning of that incomparable expression as soon as you are kind enough to inform me why you are Ernest in town and Jack in the country. Jack. Well, produce my cigarette case first. Algernon. Here it is. [Hands cigarette case.] Now produce your explanation, and pray make it improbable. [Sits on sofa.] Jack. My dear fellow, there is nothing improbable about my explanation at all. In fact its perfectly ordinary. Old Mr. Thomas Cardew, who adopted me when I was a little boy, made me in his will guardian to his grand-daughter, Miss Cecily Cardew. Cecily, who addresses me as her uncle from motives of respect that you could not possibly appreciate, lives at my place in the country under the charge of her admirable governess, Miss Prism. Algernon. Where is that place in the country, by the way? Jack. That is nothing to you, dear boy. You are not going to be invited . . . I may tell you candidly that the place is not in Shropshire. Algernon. I suspected that, my dear fellow! I have Bunburyed all over Shropshire on two separate occasions. Now, go on. Why are you Ernest in town and Jack in the country? Jack. My dear Algy, I dont know whether you will be able to understand my real motives. You are hardly serious enough. When one is placed in the position of guardian, one has to adopt a very high moral tone on all subjects. Its ones duty to do so. And as a high moral tone can hardly be said to conduce very much to either ones health or ones happiness, in order to get up to town I have always pretended to have a younger brother of the name of Ernest, who lives in the Albany, and gets into the most dreadful scrapes. That, my dear Algy, is the whole truth pure and simple. Algernon. The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility! Jack. That wouldnt be at all a bad thing. Algernon. Literary criticism is not your forte, my dear fellow. Dont try it. You should leave that to people who havent been at a University. They do it so well in the daily papers. What you really are is a Bunburyist. I was quite right in saying you were a Bunburyist. You are one of the most advanced Bunburyists I know. Jack. What on earth do you mean? Algernon. You have invented a very useful younger brother called Ernest, in order that you may be able to come up to town as often as you like. I have invented an invaluable permanent invalid called Bunbury, in order that I may be able to go down into the country whenever I choose. Bunbury is perfectly invaluable. If it wasnt for Bunburys extraordinary bad health, for instance, I wouldnt be able to dine with you at Williss to-night, for I have been really engaged to Aunt Augusta for more than a week. Jack. I havent asked you to dine with me anywhere to-night. Algernon. I know. You are absurdly careless about sending out invitations. It is very foolish of you. Nothing annoys people so much as not receiving invitations. Jack. You had much better dine with your Aunt Augusta. Algernon. I havent the smallest intention of doing anything of the kind. To begin with, I dined there on Monday, and once a week is quite enough to dine with ones own relations. In the second place, whenever I do dine there I am always treated as a member of the family, and sent down with either no woman at all, or two. In the third place, I know perfectly well whom she will place me next to, to-night. She will place me next Mary Farquhar, who always flirts with her own husband across the dinner-table. That is not very pleasant. Indeed, it is not even decent . . . and that sort of thing is enormously on the increase. The amount of women in London who flirt with their own husbands is perfectly scandalous. It looks so bad. It is simply washing ones clean linen in public. Besides, now that I know you to be a confirmed Bunburyist I naturally want to talk to you about Bunburying. I want to tell you the rules. Jack. Im not a Bunburyist at all. If Gwendolen accepts me, I am going to kill my brother, indeed I think Ill kill him in any case. Cecily is a little too much interested in him. It is rather a bore. So I am going to get rid of Ernest. And I strongly advise you to do the same with Mr. . . . with your invalid friend who has the absurd name. Algernon. Nothing will induce me to part with Bunbury, and if you ever get married, which seems to me extremely problematic, you will be very glad to know Bunbury. A man who marries without knowing Bunbury has a very tedious time of it. Jack. That is nonsense. If I marry a charming girl like Gwendolen, and she is the only girl I ever saw in my life that I would marry, I certainly wont want to know Bunbury. Algernon. Then your wife will. You dont seem to realise, that in married life three is company and two is none. Jack. [Sententiously.] That, my dear young friend, is the theory that the corrupt French Drama has been propounding for the last fifty years. Algernon. Yes; and that the happy English home has proved in half the time. Jack. For heavens sake, dont try to be cynical. Its perfectly easy to be cynical. Algernon. My dear fellow, it isnt easy to be anything nowadays. Theres such a lot of beastly competition about. [The sound of an electric bell is heard.] Ah! that must be Aunt Augusta. Only relatives, or creditors, ever ring in that Wagnerian manner. Now, if I get her out of the way for ten minutes, so that you can have an opportunity for proposing to Gwendolen, may I dine with you to-night at Williss? Jack. I suppose so, if you want to. Algernon. Yes, but you must be serious about it. I hate people who are not serious about meals. It is so shallow of them. [Enter Lane.] Lane. Lady Bracknell and Miss Fairfax. [Algernon goes forward to meet them. Enter Lady Bracknell and Gwendolen.] Lady Bracknell. Good afternoon, dear Algernon, I hope you are behaving very well. Algernon. Im feeling very well, Aunt Augusta. Lady Bracknell. Thats not quite the same thing. In fact the two things rarely go together. [Sees Jack and bows to him with icy coldness.] Algernon. [To Gwendolen.] Dear me, you are smart! Gwendolen. I am always smart! Am I not, Mr. Worthing? Jack. Youre quite perfect, Miss Fairfax. Gwendolen. Oh! I hope I am not that. It would leave no room for developments, and I intend to develop in many directions. [Gwendolen and Jack sit down together in the corner.] Lady Bracknell. Im sorry if we are a little late, Algernon, but I was obliged to call on dear Lady Harbury. I hadnt been there since her poor husbands death. I never saw a woman so altered; she looks quite twenty years younger. And now Ill have a cup of tea, and one of those nice cucumber sandwiches you promised me. Algernon. Certainly, Aunt Augusta. [Goes over to tea-table.] Lady Bracknell. Wont you come and sit here, Gwendolen? Gwendolen. Thanks, mamma, Im quite comfortable where I am. Algernon. [Picking up empty plate in horror.] Good heavens! Lane! Why are there no cucumber sandwiches? I ordered them specially. Lane. [Gravely.] There were no cucumbers in the market this morning, sir. I went down twice. Algernon. No cucumbers! Lane. No, sir. Not even for ready money. Algernon. That will do, Lane, thank you. Lane. Thank you, sir. [Goes out.] Algernon. I am greatly distressed, Aunt Augusta, about there being no cucumbers, not even for ready money. Lady Bracknell. It really makes no matter, Algernon. I had some crumpets with Lady Harbury, who seems to me to be living entirely for pleasure now. Algernon. I hear her hair has turned quite gold from grief. Lady Bracknell. It certainly has changed its colour. From what cause I, of course, cannot say. [Algernon crosses and hands tea.] Thank you. Ive quite a treat for you to-night, Algernon. I am going to send you down with Mary Farquhar. She is such a nice woman, and so attentive to her husband. Its delightful to watch them. Algernon. I am afraid, Aunt Augusta, I shall have to give up the pleasure of dining with you to-night after all. Lady Bracknell. [Frowning.] I hope not, Algernon. It would put my table completely out. Your uncle would have to dine upstairs. Fortunately he is accustomed to that. Algernon. It is a great bore, and, I need hardly say, a terrible disappointment to me, but the fact is I have just had a telegram to say that my poor friend Bunbury is very ill again. [Exchanges glances with Jack.] They seem to think I should be with him. Lady Bracknell. It is very strange. This Mr. Bunbury seems to suffer from curiously bad health. Algernon. Yes; poor Bunbury is a dreadful invalid. Lady Bracknell. Well, I must say, Algernon, that I think it is high time that Mr. Bunbury made up his mind whether he was going to live or to die. This shilly-shallying with the question is absurd. Nor do I in any way approve of the modern sympathy with invalids. I consider it morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others. Health is the primary duty of life. I am always telling that to your poor uncle, but he never seems to take much notice . . . as far as any improvement in his ailment goes. I should be much obliged if you would ask Mr. Bunbury, from me, to be kind enough not to have a relapse on Saturday, for I rely on you to arrange my music for me. It is my last reception, and one wants something that will encourage conversation, particularly at the end of the season when every one has practically said whatever they had to say, which, in most cases, was probably not much. Algernon. Ill speak to Bunbury, Aunt Augusta, if he is still conscious, and I think I can promise you hell be all right by Saturday. Of course the music is a great difficulty. You see, if one plays good music, people dont listen, and if one plays bad music people dont talk. But Ill run over the programme Ive drawn out, if you will kindly come into the next room for a moment. Lady Bracknell. Thank you, Algernon. It is very thoughtful of you. [Rising, and following Algernon.] Im sure the programme will be delightful, after a few expurgations. French songs I cannot possibly allow. People always seem to think that they are improper, and either look shocked, which is vulgar, or laugh, which is worse. But German sounds a thoroughly respectable language, and indeed, I believe is so. Gwendolen, you will accompany me. Gwendolen. Certainly, mamma. [Lady Bracknell and Algernon go into the music-room, Gwendolen remains behind.] Jack. Charming day it has been, Miss Fairfax. Gwendolen. Pray dont talk to me about the weather, Mr. Worthing. Whenever people talk to me about the weather, I always feel quite certain that they mean something else. And that makes me so nervous. Jack. I do mean something else. Gwendolen. I thought so. In fact, I am never wrong. Jack. And I would like to be allowed to take advantage of Lady Bracknells temporary absence . . . Gwendolen. I would certainly advise you to do so. Mamma has a way of coming back suddenly into a room that I have often had to speak to her about. Jack. [Nervously.] Miss Fairfax, ever since I met you I have admired you more than any girl . . . I have ever met since . . . I met you. Gwendolen. Yes, I am quite well aware of the fact. And I often wish that in public, at any rate, you had been more demonstrative. For me you have always had an irresistible fascination. Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you. [Jack looks at her in amazement.] We live, as I hope you know, Mr. Worthing, in an age of ideals. The fact is constantly mentioned in the more expensive monthly magazines, and has reached the provincial pulpits, I am told; and my ideal has always been to love some one of the name of Ernest. There is something in that name that inspires absolute confidence. The moment Algernon first mentioned to me that he had a friend called Ernest, I knew I was destined to love you. Jack. You really love me, Gwendolen? Gwendolen. Passionately! Jack. Darling! You dont know how happy youve made me. Gwendolen. My own Ernest! Jack. But you dont really mean to say that you couldnt love me if my name wasnt Ernest? Gwendolen. But your name is Ernest. Jack. Yes, I know it is. But supposing it was something else? Do you mean to say you couldnt love me then? Gwendolen. [Glibly.] Ah! that is clearly a metaphysical speculation, and like most metaphysical speculations has very little reference at all to the actual facts of real life, as we know them. Jack. Personally, darling, to speak quite candidly, I dont much care about the name of Ernest . . . I dont think the name suits me at all. Gwendolen. It suits you perfectly. It is a divine name. It has a music of its own. It produces vibrations. Jack. Well, really, Gwendolen, I must say that I think there are lots of other much nicer names. I think Jack, for instance, a charming name. Gwendolen. Jack? . . . No, there is very little music in the name Jack, if any at all, indeed. It does not thrill. It produces absolutely no vibrations . . . I have known several Jacks, and they all, without exception, were more than usually plain. Besides, Jack is a notorious domesticity for John! And I pity any woman who is married to a man called John. She would probably never be allowed to know the entrancing pleasure of a single moments solitude. The only really safe name is Ernest. Jack. Gwendolen, I must get christened at onceI mean we must get married at once. There is no time to be lost. Gwendolen. Married, Mr. Worthing? Jack. [Astounded.] Well . . . surely. You know that I love you, and you led me to believe, Miss Fairfax, that you were not absolutely indifferent to me. Gwendolen. I adore you. But you havent proposed to me yet. Nothing has been said at all about marriage. The subject has not even been touched on. Jack. Well . . . may I propose to you now? Gwendolen. I think it would be an admirable opportunity. And to spare you any possible disappointment, Mr. Worthing, I think it only fair to tell you quite frankly before-hand that I am fully determined to accept you. Jack. Gwendolen! Gwendolen. Yes, Mr. Worthing, what have you got to say to me? Jack. You know what I have got to say to you. Gwendolen. Yes, but you dont say it. Jack. Gwendolen, will you marry me? [Goes on his knees.] Gwendolen. Of course I will, darling. How long you have been about it! I am afraid you have had very little experience in how to propose. Jack. My own one, I have never loved any one in the world but you. Gwendolen. Yes, but men often propose for practice. I know my brother Gerald does. All my girl-friends tell me so. What wonderfully blue eyes you have, Ernest! They are quite, quite, blue. I hope you will always look at me just like that, especially when there are other people present. [Enter Lady Bracknell.] Lady Bracknell. Mr. Worthing! Rise, sir, from this semi-recumbent posture. It is most indecorous. Gwendolen. Mamma! [He tries to rise; she restrains him.] I must beg you to retire. This is no place for you. Besides, Mr. Worthing has not quite finished yet. Lady Bracknell. Finished what, may I ask? Gwendolen. I am engaged to Mr. Worthing, mamma. [They rise together.] Lady Bracknell. Pardon me, you are not engaged to any one. When you do become engaged to some one, I, or your father, should his health permit him, will inform you of the fact. An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant, as the case may be. It is hardly a matter that she could be allowed to arrange for herself . . . And now I have a few questions to put to you, Mr. Worthing. While I am making these inquiries, you, Gwendolen, will wait for me below in the carriage. Gwendolen. [Reproachfully.] Mamma! Lady Bracknell. In the carriage, Gwendolen! [Gwendolen goes to the door. She and Jack blow kisses to each other behind Lady Bracknells back. Lady Bracknell looks vaguely about as if she could not understand what the noise was. Finally turns round.] Gwendolen, the carriage! Gwendolen. Yes, mamma. [Goes out, looking back at Jack.] Lady Bracknell. [Sitting down.] You can take a seat, Mr. Worthing. [Looks in her pocket for note-book and pencil.] Jack. Thank you, Lady Bracknell, I prefer standing. Lady Bracknell. [Pencil and note-book in hand.] I feel bound to tell you that you are not down on my list of eligible young men, although I have the same list as the dear Duchess of Bolton has. We work together, in fact. However, I am quite ready to enter your name, should your answers be what a really affectionate mother requires. Do you smoke? Jack. Well, yes, I must admit I smoke. Lady Bracknell. I am glad to hear it. A man should always have an occupation of some kind. There are far too many idle men in London as it is. How old are you? Jack. Twenty-nine. Lady Bracknell. A very good age to be married at. I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing. Which do you know? Jack. [After some hesitation.] I know nothing, Lady Bracknell. Lady Bracknell. I am pleased to hear it. I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square. What is your income? Jack. Between seven and eight thousand a year. Lady Bracknell. [Makes a note in her book.] In land, or in investments? Jack. In investments, chiefly. Lady Bracknell. That is satisfactory. What between the duties expected of one during ones lifetime, and the duties exacted from one after ones death, land has ceased to be either a profit or a pleasure. It gives one position, and prevents one from keeping it up. Thats all that can be said about land. Jack. I have a country house with some land, of course, attached to it, about fifteen hundred acres, I believe; but I dont depend on that for my real income. In fact, as far as I can make out, the poachers are the only people who make anything out of it. Lady Bracknell. A country house! How many bedrooms? Well, that point can be cleared up afterwards. You have a town house, I hope? A girl with a simple, unspoiled nature, like Gwendolen, could hardly be expected to reside in the country. Jack. Well, I own a house in Belgrave Square, but it is let by the year to Lady Bloxham. Of course, I can get it back whenever I like, at six months notice. Lady Bracknell. Lady Bloxham? I dont know her. Jack. Oh, she goes about very little. She is a lady considerably advanced in years. Lady Bracknell. Ah, nowadays that is no guarantee of respectability of character. What number in Belgrave Square? Jack. 149. Lady Bracknell. [Shaking her head.] The unfashionable side. I thought there was something. However, that could easily be altered. Jack. Do you mean the fashion, or the side? Lady Bracknell. [Sternly.] Both, if necessary, I presume. What are your politics? Jack. Well, I am afraid I really have none. I am a Liberal Unionist. Lady Bracknell. Oh, they count as Tories. They dine with us. Or come in the evening, at any rate. Now to minor matters. Are your parents living? Jack. I have lost both my parents. Lady Bracknell. To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness. Who was your father? He was evidently a man of some wealth. Was he born in what the Radical papers call the purple of commerce, or did he rise from the ranks of the aristocracy? Jack. I am afraid I really dont know. The fact is, Lady Bracknell, I said I had lost my parents. It would be nearer the truth to say that my parents seem to have lost me . . . I dont actually know who I am by birth. I was . . . well, I was found. Lady Bracknell. Found! Jack. The late Mr. Thomas Cardew, an old gentleman of a very charitable and kindly disposition, found me, and gave me the name of Worthing, because he happened to have a first-class ticket for Worthing in his pocket at the time. Worthing is a place in Sussex. It is a seaside resort. Lady Bracknell. Where did the charitable gentleman who had a first-class ticket for this seaside resort find you? Jack. [Gravely.] In a hand-bag. Lady Bracknell. A hand-bag? Jack. [Very seriously.] Yes, Lady Bracknell. I was in a hand-baga somewhat large, black leather hand-bag, with handles to itan ordinary hand-bag in fact. Lady Bracknell. In what locality did this Mr. James, or Thomas, Cardew come across this ordinary hand-bag? Jack. In the cloak-room at Victoria Station. It was given to him in mistake for his own. Lady Bracknell. The cloak-room at Victoria Station? Jack. Yes. The Brighton line. Lady Bracknell. The line is immaterial. Mr. Worthing, I confess I feel somewhat bewildered by what you have just told me. To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution. And I presume you know what that unfortunate movement led to? As for the particular locality in which the hand-bag was found, a cloak-room at a railway station might serve to conceal a social indiscretionhas probably, indeed, been used for that purpose before nowbut it could hardly be regarded as an assured basis for a recognised position in good society. Jack. May I ask you then what you would advise me to do? I need hardly say I would do anything in the world to ensure Gwendolens happiness. Lady Bracknell. I would strongly advise you, Mr. Worthing, to try and acquire some relations as soon as possible, and to make a definite effort to produce at any rate one parent, of either sex, before the season is quite over. Jack. Well, I dont see how I could possibly manage to do that. I can produce the hand-bag at any moment. It is in my dressing-room at home. I really think that should satisfy you, Lady Bracknell. Lady Bracknell. Me, sir! What has it to do with me? You can hardly imagine that I and Lord Bracknell would dream of allowing our only daughtera girl brought up with the utmost careto marry into a cloak-room, and form an alliance with a parcel? Good morning, Mr. Worthing! [Lady Bracknell sweeps out in majestic indignation.] Jack. Good morning! [Algernon, from the other room, strikes up the Wedding March. Jack looks perfectly furious, and goes to the door.] For goodness sake dont play that ghastly tune, Algy. How idiotic you are! [The music stops and Algernon enters cheerily.] Algernon. Didnt it go off all right, old boy? You dont mean to say Gwendolen refused you? I know it is a way she has. She is always refusing people. I think it is most ill-natured of her. Jack. Oh, Gwendolen is as right as a trivet. As far as she is concerned, we are engaged. Her mother is perfectly unbearable. Never met such a Gorgon . . . I dont really know what a Gorgon is like, but I am quite sure that Lady Bracknell is one. In any case, she is a monster, without being a myth, which is rather unfair . . . I beg your pardon, Algy, I suppose I shouldnt talk about your own aunt in that way before you. Algernon. My dear boy, I love hearing my relations abused. It is the only thing that makes me put up with them at all. Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who havent got the remotest knowledge of how to live, nor the smallest instinct about when to die. Jack. Oh, that is nonsense! Algernon. It isnt! Jack. Well, I wont argue about the matter. You always want to argue about things. Algernon. That is exactly what things were originally made for. Jack. Upon my word, if I thought that, Id shoot myself . . . [A pause.] You dont think there is any chance of Gwendolen becoming like her mother in about a hundred and fifty years, do you, Algy? Algernon. All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. Thats his. Jack. Is that clever? Algernon. It is perfectly phrased! and quite as true as any observation in civilised life should be. Jack. I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays. You cant go anywhere without meeting clever people. The thing has become an absolute public nuisance. I wish to goodness we had a few fools left. Algernon. We have. Jack. I should extremely like to meet them. What do they talk about? Algernon. The fools? Oh! about the clever people, of course. Jack. What fools! Algernon. By the way, did you tell Gwendolen the truth about your being Ernest in town, and Jack in the country? Jack. [In a very patronising manner.] My dear fellow, the truth isnt quite the sort of thing one tells to a nice, sweet, refined girl. What extraordinary ideas you have about the way to behave to a woman! Algernon. The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her, if she is pretty, and to some one else, if she is plain. Jack. Oh, that is nonsense. Algernon. What about your brother? What about the profligate Ernest? Jack. Oh, before the end of the week I shall have got rid of him. Ill say he died in Paris of apoplexy. Lots of people die of apoplexy, quite suddenly, dont they? Algernon. Yes, but its hereditary, my dear fellow. Its a sort of thing that runs in families. You had much better say a severe chill. Jack. You are sure a severe chill isnt hereditary, or anything of that kind? Algernon. Of course it isnt! Jack. Very well, then. My poor brother Ernest to carried off suddenly, in Paris, by a severe chill. That gets rid of him. Algernon. But I thought you said that . . . Miss Cardew was a little too much interested in your poor brother Ernest? Wont she feel his loss a good deal? Jack. Oh, that is all right. Cecily is not a silly romantic girl, I am glad to say. She has got a capital appetite, goes long walks, and pays no attention at all to her lessons. Algernon. I would rather like to see Cecily. Jack. I will take very good care you never do. She is excessively pretty, and she is only just eighteen. Algernon. Have you told Gwendolen yet that you have an excessively pretty ward who is only just eighteen? Jack. Oh! one doesnt blurt these things out to people. Cecily and Gwendolen are perfectly certain to be extremely great friends. Ill bet you anything you like that half an hour after they have met, they will be calling each other sister. Algernon. Women only do that when they have called each other a lot of other things first. Now, my dear boy, if we want to get a good table at Williss, we really must go and dress. Do you know it is nearly seven? Jack. [Irritably.] Oh! It always is nearly seven. Algernon. Well, Im hungry. Jack. I never knew you when you werent . . . Algernon. What shall we do after dinner? Go to a theatre? Jack. Oh no! I loathe listening. Algernon. Well, let us go to the Club? Jack. Oh, no! I hate talking. Algernon. Well, we might trot round to the Empire at ten? Jack. Oh, no! I cant bear looking at things. It is so silly. Algernon. Well, what shall we do? Jack. Nothing! Algernon. It is awfully hard work doing nothing. However, I dont mind hard work where there is no definite object of any kind. [Enter Lane.] Lane. Miss Fairfax. [Enter Gwendolen. Lane goes out.] Algernon. Gwendolen, upon my word! Gwendolen. Algy, kindly turn your back. I have something very particular to say to Mr. Worthing. Algernon. Really, Gwendolen, I dont think I can allow this at all. Gwendolen. Algy, you always adopt a strictly immoral attitude towards life. You are not quite old enough to do that. [Algernon retires to the fireplace.] Jack. My own darling! Gwendolen. Ernest, we may never be married. From the expression on mammas face I fear we never shall. Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out. Whatever influence I ever had over mamma, I lost at the age of three. But although she may prevent us from becoming man and wife, and I may marry some one else, and marry often, nothing that she can possibly do can alter my eternal devotion to you. Jack. Dear Gwendolen! Gwendolen. The story of your romantic origin, as related to me by mamma, with unpleasing comments, has naturally stirred the deeper fibres of my nature. Your Christian name has an irresistible fascination. The simplicity of your character makes you exquisitely incomprehensible to me. Your town address at the Albany I have. What is your address in the country? Jack. The Manor House, Woolton, Hertfordshire. [Algernon, who has been carefully listening, smiles to himself, and writes the address on his shirt-cuff. Then picks up the Railway Guide.] Gwendolen. There is a good postal service, I suppose? It may be necessary to do something desperate. That of course will require serious consideration. I will communicate with you daily. Jack. My own one! Gwendolen. How long do you remain in town? Jack. Till Monday. Gwendolen. Good! Algy, you may turn round now. Algernon. Thanks, Ive turned round already. Gwendolen. You may also ring the bell. Jack. You will let me see you to your carriage, my own darling? Gwendolen. Certainly. Jack. [To Lane, who now enters.] I will see Miss Fairfax out. Lane. Yes, sir. [Jack and Gwendolen go off.] [Lane presents several letters on a salver to Algernon. It is to be surmised that they are bills, as Algernon, after looking at the envelopes, tears them up.] Algernon. A glass of sherry, Lane. Lane. Yes, sir. Algernon. To-morrow, Lane, Im going Bunburying. Lane. Yes, sir. Algernon. I shall probably not be back till Monday. You can put up my dress clothes, my smoking jacket, and all the Bunbury suits . . . Lane. Yes, sir. [Handing sherry.] Algernon. I hope to-morrow will be a fine day, Lane. Lane. It never is, sir. Algernon. Lane, youre a perfect pessimist. Lane. I do my best to give satisfaction, sir. [Enter Jack. Lane goes off.] Jack. Theres a sensible, intellectual girl! the only girl I ever cared for in my life. [Algernon is laughing immoderately.] What on earth are you so amused at? Algernon. Oh, Im a little anxious about poor Bunbury, that is all. Jack. If you dont take care, your friend Bunbury will get you into a serious scrape some day. Algernon. I love scrapes. They are the only things that are never serious. Jack. Oh, thats nonsense, Algy. You never talk anything but nonsense. Algernon. Nobody ever does. [Jack looks indignantly at him, and leaves the room. Algernon lights a cigarette, reads his shirt-cuff, and smiles.] ACT DROP

DEATH CITY DAYS CHAPTER 6
the 6th chapter be heeeere
thanks @soul-dwelling for being a champ ^^
Kid: (nods) "Let's take a sample question, such as this one with the angles of a triangle." stocking: thats 3 angles. that one i know, since 'tri' means 'three', right? Kid: "Yes, and three sides. That's the key: the three angles and the three sides correspond with each other. The big side has opposite it a big angle, and a small side has opposite it a small angel." stocking: you mean a small angle? *she chuckled* Kid: "Well, can you blame me?" (smiles) stocking: *she chuckles* Kid: "So, returning to...'angles,' the three angles of every triangle equals exactly 180 degrees. So if you know the degrees of two angles, you can figure out the third angle's degrees." stocking: ah, i see. Kid: "So if Angle A is 70 degrees, and Angle B is 50 degrees, how much is the remaining Angle, Angle C?" stocking: hmmm... either 70 or 50? Kid: "We know that the total of all three angles will always be 180 degrees. And we know the other two angles. If we subtract 70 and 50 from 180, then we'll have the answer. So, what is 180 minus 70?" stocking: 110? Kid: "Yes! And now subtract 50 from 110..." stocking: 50 then? Kid: "Not quite." (writes out 50 then above that 110, then covers the zeroes with his hand) "What's 11 minus 5?" stocking: 11 minus 5..... 6! Kid: "Right! So, instead of 11 minus 5 being 6, we add zero to the end of each...so 11 is 110, 5 is 50, and 6 is...?" stocking: 60! *she smiles* Kid: (nods with a smile) "Excellent." stocking: yay! Kid: "Now, let's take this a next step...What do you know about the Isosceles Triangle? What makes it special?" stocking: i think i heard the name before.... Kid: "An isosceles triangle has two lengths that are the same as each other, and two angles which are the same as each other." stocking: ah...and the 3rd? Kid: "That's where the fun is!" (he's so giddy over this stuff) "The third angle and the third length will not be the same as all as the other two. But as we pointed out, will be whatever is left after subtracting the two other angles, and that third angle will tell us the length of the last side! Isn't this exciting?!" stocking: ah, i see. *she smiles a bit* Kid: "So, look at this Isosceles Triangle: because two of its angles have to be equal to each other, we have this triangle with one angle at 40 and the other two angles at 70 each. So if we know one angle of an Isosceles, we can still figure out the other two." Kid: "Here's an example: if one angle of the Isosceles Triangle is 80 degrees, and the other two angles are equal to each other, how much are those two angles of equal degree?" -elsewhere- spirit:.... *on his walkie-talkie* joooooe, how much later do we have to stay out here? Joe: "Our shift is over in an hour. I suggest you calm down, maybe enjoy a fresh cup of coffee..." (sips his, and grimaces) "Make that a _good_ cup of coffee..." spirit: well, hurry on up will ya? if ya dont hurry over, then im sending justin to find you. justin: do be patient with him, its been quite a long night. Joe: (studying the subject) "Remind me how I will know that I've found what we're looking for." justin: i believe we're looking for people who are out after the curfew... Joe: "Then I spotted at least one. On the corner of King and Grissom." justin: oh? Joe: "One person. Looks to be the height of a student. Hoodie. I can't see their face...and I'm having some difficulty getting a trace on their soul..." -in that moment, a figure runs into an allyway- Joe: "Someone else! Just went into the alley!" justin: oh? *the signal begins to static* huh? Joe: "Justin? Justin, come in!" (looks to alley) "Damn it!" (runs into the alley) -there's a figure standing at the end, completely still.- Joe: "Excuse me. It is after curfew. Come on, you're coming with me to the Academy for processing." -the figure turns around- tsumiki: ah, mr buttataki. good evening. *she smiles, content* Joe: "Tsumiki?" (lowers his guard) "I have not seen you for some time...Now, come with me back to the Academy..." tsumiki: oh? f-for what reason? Joe: "The DWMA put in a curfew, and you're out late. We have to take you to safety and hold you overnight for your safety, at least until daylight hours. You'll get a meal, some sleep in a good bed, and be up and ready for class the next day." tsumiki: since when was this curfew enacted? i've been....out of town a while. Joe: "For weeks now, after a number of serial killings." (approaches, putting out a hand...as he focuses his soul energy right to that hand...) "Come with me. I'll explain on the way." tsumiki: is that it? its quite alright. im not really scared of that. i know i'll be ok. -something seems....off....- Joe: (preparing any potential attack) "No, this is an order. Come with me, now." (moves to grab her arm) \i wouldnt do that if i were you\ Joe: "Now!" tsumiki: *her eyes are fixated at something behind him* Joe: ("Oh no...") (turns to see what is behind him) -the alley has extended for miles. pitch black darkness on either end of them.- Joe: "What the hell?" (puts hand to his ear) "Justin? Spirit? Do you copy?" walkie talkie: \you know...im rather tired of being everyone's little pushover\ tsumiki: *she just stands there, expressionless* Joe: "What?" tsumiki: you know~ while i was gone, i learned to stand up for myself. to become more assertive.... to know the world really is a kill or be killed kind of place.... i have him to thank for that. Joe: "And who would 'he' be?" (as he talks, he lowers his radio back to his pocket...and reaches for a pistol...) tsumiki: someone much like me. someone who was always alone, afraid. someone who had the whole world against him for merely being born. someone abandoned and left to rot in a dark cold space. Joe: "Tsumiki? Are you the killer? The one responsible for these deaths?" tsumiki: *she chuckles* for the most part~.... it wasnt easy thought, but i've been getting better~ *something manifests behind her* Joe: (grips his pistol behind him) "Tsumiki...Stop this. Please. You can help us if you just stop." tsumiki: but why would i do that? if i did that, all my progress would be for nothing. tsumiki: besides~.....i'm much happier like this. -a tall figure has formed behind her- ????: you say you can see the truth, and yet you deny the truth in front of you? how pitiful.... Joe: (frowns) "Guess that leaves little choice..." (presses down on Tsumiki's wrist, tugging it and forcing a Soul Menace attack into her) -tsumiki has oddly vanished, and the figure stands in front of joe- ?????: faked you out. Joe: (groans, fires three shots at the figure) -the figure isnt even phased, it just grins and removes its bandages- Joe: (looks behind him for an exit) -shink- tsumiki: oops. *she has pierced a knife through his abdomen* Joe: (shudders, coughs up blood) Joe: (struggles to grasp at her) ???: how cute, he's struggling like a little worm. *wraps bandages around him and tosses him into a wall* Joe: "Uff!" (crashes into wall, barely conscious now, collapsing on his side on the alley floor) tsumiki: *she picks up the gun and holds it to his head* our little secret, ok~? Joe: "No..." -BANG- justin: *he heard the gunshot and ran to the flower shop alley* stein, i heard gunshots in the flower shop alley, send back up, over. Stein: "On it!" tsumiki: tsk, tsk....whats wrong? a big strong man like you couldnt handle a little girl? oh well, your sacrifice wont be in vain... ????: seems we have company. tsumiki: hmm? Joe: (shuddering, eyes wide) justin: *he stands at the ally entrance, horrified* wh-wha? b-butta- ???: how ironic that you're the one to find us, justin law. justin: *he doesnt say anything* -the figure drags him in- justin: *SCREAMING* -by the time the back up arrives, both tsumiki and the figure are gone, as is joe's soul. justin is laying against the wall, cut in several places and barely breathing- justin: st-ste...in.... Stein: "Justin!" Stein: "Paramedics! Here, now!" (looks at Justin) "Stay with me, Justin. Stay with me..." justin: dont...let them....tsu..mi.... *his vision goes dark* -the next morning, patchwork labs- Stein: "Is he okay to talk?" valentine: he's alright. but for now, he should rest. marie: *she's crying* spirit:...... Stein: (groans) "The moment Justin is ready to talk, contact us." (points to Spirit, taking him aside) "What has forensics uncovered?" spirit: once again, nothing.....*slams his fist against the wall* DAMMIT! i shouldnt have let him go on his own! Stein: (removes two cigarettes, lights them) "No kidding. Why the hell did Joe run in alone?" spirit: *he takes one* thanks....and i wasnt talking about bj....i meant justin.... damn...he shouldnt have been put through whatever that was. Stein: (irritable) "I'd debate which is worse: what Justin went through...or what Joe went through..." (closed his eyes) "or what Marie is going through..." Stein: "That'll have to be tabled. You sure nothing on Justin's person can lead us in a direction? What about what that...whatever did to Joe?" spirit: *sigh* well, we'd have to ask val about the autopsy then. Stein: "Super." (puts out cigarette, removes another one) "Just super." -the next morning- speaker: attention, a mandatory school meeting is about to take place. please make your way to the auditorium for further instruction. repeat. this is a _mandatory_ meeting. thank you. Kid: ("This is not good...") (groans aloud) Patty: (humming cheerfully) tsugumi: what do you think this is? mio: probably something boring. Anya: "Oh! That'll be fascinating! To experience an actual school meeting!" Meme: "Huh. You really haven't gotten out much, Anya." Maka: "Soul, Black Star, hurry up!" stocking:....(thinking: i have a bad feeling about this) soul: yeah yeah. Black Star: "Tsubaki, where's the best seat? Up front to show I'm the best at paying attention, or all the way in the back with the cool people?" tsubaki: maybe someplace in the middle? -auditorium- tsugumi: what do you think's going on kimi? Stein: (on stage, fidgeting) kimiko: im not sure, the headmaster just told me to give the announcement. he seemed shook up... Anya: "Best give the announcement. The students look agitated." madoka: ah! i think its about to start. Jacqueline: (sits beside Kim) "What is this about?" kim: *shrug* -best give the announcement then- Stein: "May we have your attention, students? We have an important announcement." -i think everyone is listening now- Stein: "Last night, the DWMA was enforcing its nightly curfew." kirika: (thinking: which is still BS) Stein: "At least one individual was found out after this curfew. Two DWMA operatives followed this individual into an alley. When additional DWMA operatives arrived, they discovered one of our own was badly injured, and another was dead." -shocked muttering amongst the students- Kid: "What?!" Maka: "Oh no." stocking: !! soul: shit... Black Star: "Grr..." Meme: (remembering Sid, putting hand over mouth, about to cry) kirika: WELL WHO DIED? -several students agree to wanting to know- mio: sempai? are you ok? Meme: (sobbing) mio: !!! Stein: (holds up hand) "Please! We are not finished! We are sad to report that the injured is Death Scythe Justin Law, and the deceased is Joe Buttataki." tsugumi: meme-chan, its ok. its not your fault, you didnt do anything, we were there with you last night, remember? liz: !!! Anya: "Agreed! Meme, it's okay. This is not about you." Meme: (still sobbing, collapsing forward) Patty: "Liz? How could...How could this happen?" mio: ..... liz: ....... soul: ........ ginka: *silent* Maka: "This is--This is--How?!" Kid: "Professor! How could this have happ--" --A scalpel lands by Kid's head-- luna: sayaka and i are going to go see him later, you can come with us. stocking: !!! Stein: "I am not continuing until every one of you is silent." -silence- Stein: "As you know, the number of killings in the previous weeks has had the DWMA on high alert, hence the establishment of the curfew. With the loss of at least one member of the DWMA, we have to take a more forceful response. After the conclusion of this meeting, all of you will assemble in lines to return to your homerooms. There, your instructors will direct some students to return back to their homes for today and until further notice. And many of you students will be assigned tasks related to our ongoing investigation--and to ensure that the now extended curfew is enforced." (looks back to Spirit, whispers off-mic) "Anything else to add? Anything I got wrong?" spirit:....*he shakes his head* Stein: "At a time like this, we know many of you are upset. Justin has been a close adviser to many of you, and Joe has been a passionate crusader for the mission of the DWMA, an insightful investigator--and a close friend and guide to many of us, especially those of us who have sought his counsel. We will be providing numerous therapists and other counselors. If you would like to speak with any of these counselors, please speak with Auntie at the front desk." Kid: (balling his hands into fists) "Joe..." Kid: (looking down, shoulders hunched over) Maka: (gripping the armrest...crushing it) Black Star: "..." Stein: "We will be taking no questions at this time. Right now, we ask that you focus on our continuing mission, and that you keep Justin and Joe in your thoughts and souls. I think it would be appropriate to have a moment of silence for our peers." stocking+liz: *hugging kid* -silence- Patty: (patting Kid's back) Black Star: (breathing heavily) Anya: (putting a hand on Meme's shoulder) tsubaki:..... kirika: shit...now what? gopher: kirika? kirika: im fine... homura:...at least justin didnt-..... Stein: (nods) "Thank you. Please, remember that in these times of difficulty: we need soundness. A sound soul..." Maka: "...dwells in a sound mind..." homura: and a sound body. --Stein leaves the stage with Spirit, leaving it to staff to direct students to homeroom-- sayaka: so, you needed two healers to help justin? Stein: (nods) luna: my friend would like to come along as well. justin has been looking after her during her time at the school, it would mean a lot to her. Stein: (hesitant) "Okay. Let the healers go to the work, and keep your distance until he awakens." ginka:....ok... eternal feather:....*crying silently* Stein: (puts a hand on Ginka's shoulder) "I'm sure he will appreciate your presence. A soul can respond well to having company." Kana: (curls up against Eternal Feather) eternal feather: *sniffs* t-thank you...kana.... Kana: (nods) "I'm sorry." eternal feather: its ok kana, you didnt do anything wrong... Jacqueline: (looks at Kim) kim:.......what? Jacqueline: "Stein is sending *healers*..." kim: he doesnt need to know...no one else does... Jacqueline: "I'll respect your decision...and advise you that Justin is going to need all the help he can get." kim: ..... -in homeroom- Maka: "But who is being assigned to participate in this investigation?!" ibuki: *raising her hand* IBUKI VOLUNTEERS! Kid: "As so I! And my weapons." stocking: ....i'll have my dad send someone as well. homura: i'll take it upon myself to assist in any way i can. shinra: i'll help to! Tamaki: "Me too!" Arthur: "I lend my sword to this battle!" zubaidah: settle down, i know you're all worked up. but do try to remain calm. *she looks at tezca like 'help me out here will ya?* Tezca: "Hey! If you want to join this mission so badly, why not ask Lord Death?!" (beat) "Oh...crap." zubaidah: T__________________T# Kid: "Yes, I agree!" (departs) "Liz! Patty!" tsugumi: oh dear... Maka: "Wait up, Kid!" Black Star: "Come on, Tsubaki!" Tezca: "Okay! No one but those three and their weapons are leaving! The rest of you are staying here!" -later- lord death: alright, settle down everyone, one at a time. Kid: "Father, I demand to be assigned to this investigation! Whatever you need!" lord death: alright then, what all can you do? Black Star: "Beat a confession out of someone!" -after all that- kohaku: tch- this is stupid, by having students join, they're just endangering more people than they need to... what a bunch of idiots. -gallows manor- Patty: (listlessly twirling straw in soda can) "What now...?" liz: i'm not sure.......kid? how're you holding up? Kid: (shakes his head) liz:.... -kid's phone rings- Kid: (too distracted to look who is calling) "Hello?" stocking: hey kid, need me to come over? i can come via the mirror if you want... Kid: "...Yes. I'll set the mirror up. I think Liz and Patty would like your company, too..." (looks to Liz and Patty for approval) liz: *she nods* liz:....(thinking: wait, mirror?) Patty: "Stocking being here would be nice...but what about curfew?" Kid: (sweats) "Um...Sigh...I guess the secret's out...Stocking, stand by your mirror. I'll ready my end." stocking: ok. Kid: "You'll be entering the living room, okay?" stocking: alright. Kid: (approaches mirror, breathes on it, and writes the number. The mirror glows to allow Stocking entrance...) Patty: o_o stocking: *inhales and backs up, running in.* Kid: (standing before the mirror) stocking: *she makes it through the mirror, landing right on top of him* ah....oh...hey kid... *blush* Kid: o\\\\o "It's fine...Um...Can you get off of me?" Patty: (whispering to Liz) "Oh, like they aren't used to _that_ position." liz: patti oh my god. stocking: ah! sorry. *she gets up* Kid: (holds up hand as she helps him up) "It's...okay." (small laugh) "Thank you for coming." stocking: no problem. *she lays down on the couch, offering him to lay on top* Kid: "..." (lies alongside her) Patty: (whispers) "Um...privacy, maybe?" stocking:....*she gets up and hugs him* its ok kid...let out what you need to... Kid: "...I had been seeing Joe for therapy for some time..." stocking:.... *listening* Kid: "He listened to me discuss many concerns I had: about being a shinigami, about school, about anxiety, about obsessions...about feeling like I could have a normal life..." stocking:.... *still listening* Kid: "...And he's gone. He was someone who helped me and...I wasn't there." liz: kid... stocking: its ok kid, its not your fault... Patty: ):> Kid: (nods) "I cannot be everywhere at once...but it is going to take some time to accept that--that...that I wasn't there to stop whoever did this." stocking:....kid? remember when i comforted you? back at the lodge? Kid: (nods) stocking: do you remember what i told you? Kid: (nods) "Tell me again...I want to hear it." stocking: its not your fault. you're right here kid. and i'm going to be right here for you when you need it, ok? Kid: "...I'm scared. I'm scared what happens next." stocking: shhhh, its ok kid. just breathe...everything will be ok... Kid: (inhales, exhales...sobs) Patty: (clutches Liz's wrist, cries into her shoulder) liz: *hugs her* stocking:...*humming the music box melody* Kid: (still sobbing, but calming his breath) Patty: "Sis..." liz: its gonna be ok patti...i promise... Patty: (clutches Liz in a hug) liz: *hugs back* Kid: (stops sobbing, puts an arm around Stocking) stocking: *she kisses his forehead* Patty: "...When we find this killer..." (looks up, eyes hard) "...they'll pay..." liz: ...... Kid: "That makes two of us, Patty..." (looks up to Stocking) "I'm sorry. I'm just...angry." stocking: i know.... liz: but we need to be rational about this. we can just let ourselves be blinded by our emotions. Kid: "...Yes. Just need to channel those emotions towards finding this criminal...but it sounds like Father is still holding back some information...and I don't think he does so to keep it a secret. I think this is more dangerous than we anticipated." liz:..... -the next day- -where to?- [] alley way [] patchwork labs [] school Kid: "This alley...I feel something about it...Let's approach just to the edge of it, until I get a sense of what I'm feeling." -seems homura is there- Kid: "Homura?" homura: !! oh.. hello kid. are you here to assist the investigation today? Kid: "If the investigation team will have me. I just did not want to sit by and being useless." homura: *slight smile* well, im sure we'd appreciate it. Kid: (follows Homura into the alley) "Does something feel...off about this crime scene? Almost like...an energy around it?" homura: other than the sense of unease that someone died here..... *she kneels down and picks up an empty can* Kid: (shakes his head) "Maybe it's nothing..." (puts a hand along one wall) "I thought shots were fired in here. Why don't I see bullet marks? How hard are these walls?" homura: well, the bullet did get lodged through the back of his skull.....sorry... Kid: "...I thought it was _shots_ fired. And Joe always carried a gun..." homura: hmm....*she touches the wall for a moment*....damn...still nothing... Kid: "I have to imagine at least one shot came from Joe. So, where are the casings?" homura: hm.... *a few casings were found at the edge of the alley. the alley itself is only 15 feet deep* Kid: "That explains that...I doubt Joe was a bad shot, so how did the murderer survive those shots?" homura: perhaps they were quicker.... Kid: "But no bullets in the walls? Or on the ground? They wouldn't just disappear." homura: ...... Kid: "Something is odd here. I don't think we are contending with someone who is human." homura:...i was beginning to have that same thought. Kid: "Unfortunately, the list of entities that can survive bullets is too long to narrow...We will need additional evidence to determine what can do this." homura: if justin is awake, you could probably ask him. Kid: "Any update on Justin's recovery? Is he up for talking?" homura: i havent been updated as of yet. Kid: (nods) "I anticipate Stein will ask him questions when he wakes up." -where to now?- soul: ugh, im so bored! Maka: (drops another five books on the desk) "Then preoccupy yourself with these." soul: hmmm... *picks up a book* Maka: (passes notebook paper) "And take notes. I want a summary of what can beat a Death Scythe and overwhelm someone with a strong soul, especially one with strong soul perception." soul: *siiiiiigh* yes, _mom_ Maka: (glare) Black Star: (sitting atop a stack of books, thumbing through them) "Put this on the 'Maka will end up reading it' pile..." tsubaki: black*star! Black Star: "What?! I'm helping! I'm sorting books for whatever useless nonsense she wants!" tsubaki: 3....2....1.... Black Star: "Huh?" --CHOP!-- Black Star: (twitching on the floor) tsubaki: warned you. Maka: (frowns, looks at Soul) "And do you have any smart-ass comments?" soul: no ma'am... Maka: (smirks) "Good." (serious) "We have to do something, if not to bring Joe's killer to justice, then to help stop future ones." tsubaki: right. Black Star: --dead-- morerororororororo -elsewhere- marie:..... Stein: "Hey." marie:....hello... Stein: (sits beside her, keeping about one cushion seat distance between them) "Justin...has talked. But nothing coherent, or for very long." marie: *she sighs* at least its something... may i see him? Stein: (nods, stands to walk with her) justin: *sleeping* Stein: (behind Marie...tries to put a hand near her...then pulls back) marie:....poor thing... Stein: "...Yes." (looks over at the machines, tracking Justin's vitals) -seems he's in good condition- Stein: "..." ("When are you going to tell us what you saw, Justin?" justin: *he's shuffling in his sleep* Stein: "???" -after a few minutes, he wakes up screaming- Stein: "Justin!" (prepares a sedative) marie: *she hugs him, using her healing wavelength* Stein: ("That works, too...") -soon, justin finally calms down- Stein: "Justin? We are here for you, right now." justin: *panting* ha....h-hello stein.....marie..... *his voice seems slightly dry* Stein: (pours water into a cup, hands it to him) "Here." justin: *smiles weakly* thank you. *he takes a sip* Stein: "Justin, we are in the middle of an investigation. When you are ready, we need to debrief you." justin:.....*he nods* marie: how're you feeling? justin:..sore....but i'll manage.. Stein: "Okay. Do you want to take some time?" justin:....*nods* Stein: "Okay. I'll let you rest for a bit. Do you want me to bring anything? Or anyone? You have had many people who have wanted to say hi and wish you well." justin: just you two right now.... Stein: (nods) "Anything else you need? More water? Food? More sheets?" justin: some tea might help... Stein: "I'll brew it...Green tea? Chamomile?" justin: chamomile...please... Stein: (nods, pats a hand on Marie's shoulder as he leaves her and Justin alone) -later- marie: *walking with justin to the death room* are you sure about this? you still need rest though... justin: i know, but it's imperative i do this as soon as possible... --Stein is waiting in the Death Room, along with Lord Death— Maka: "Justin? Hi." justin: good evening everyone. lord death: how are you feeling? justin: better. Kid: "That's good to hear..." justin: yes, but there is something very important i need to tell you, you probably wont believe me, but what im saying is true. lord death: go on. justin: *inhales, then exhales* ......i know who's behind the murders. Maka: "..." Kid: "..." soul: what?! Stein: "Do we need to have a lockdown of the campus?" justin: yes, i saw them standing over joe's dead body when i arrived.....but here is the unbelievable part. lord death: lets hear him out first. go on justin. justin: the one behind the murders was...is a missing student.... Maka: "Who was it?" justin:.....it was mikan tsumiki..... soul:......*bursts out laughing* oh dude! you really had me going there! Kid: (eyebrow raised) Maka: (slaps the back of Soul's head) soul: oh come on, you guys cant possibly be buying this! this is tsumiki. tsu-mi-ki we're talking about! she couldn’t hurt an ant even if she wanted! justin: but im serious!! Kid: "I believe you, Justin. In light of how shocking these murders have been, and the fact that the culprit is something who has not been seen lately at the Academy, such an accusation makes sense. But how could someone like Tsumiki commit such murders?" justin: well..when i saw here, there was....someone else with her... *he seems tense* Stein: "Who?" justin:....*he inhales*.....the kishin asura. lord death: WHAT?! Stein: (tenses) Maka: "What?" Kid: "No..." soul: y-you gotta be shitting me, right? justin: i wish i was bluffing....but... i know what i saw... Kid: "Father? Can you sense the Kishin's presence?" lord death:..... i fear he has learned how to use soul protect somehow...damn! Stein: "And taking out someone with an advanced soul perception would be helpful..." (looks at Maka) Maka: (starts sweating) soul: *holds her hand* Kid: "How, then, do we proceed? Search for Tsumiki's soul wavelength? Search for her door to door?" lord death: for one thing, we update the board. then send an alert to all the other branches. Stein: "You think she's already out of Death City?" lord death: no one has seen her in a few days... considering what happened with-...*ahem* its most likely. Kid: "I agree with Father that we should alert other branches. But this is also someone who has been targeting so many here in Death City. This is not someone who is trying to avoid capture: they is someone killing many in our own home, to send some message. And I don't think they will stop with just Maka." Kid: (seizes, realizing the last six words he just said) "Um..." soul: *tenses up* spirit: *PROTECTIVLY HUGGING MAKA* nooooooo!!! Maka: -_-; "Get off of me before I crack your head open." spirit: my babyyyyy Q~Q --CRACK!-- Maka: "Great. Now I need a new copy of this book..." spirit: X~X Stein: "We will be putting certain students under increased security, then. And I think we will need to go through specific locations to confirm Tsumiki is not hiding somewhere in the city...or below it." lord death:..... Kid: "???" -later- soul:.... Maka: "You expect me to tolerate the equivalent of house arrest while some mass murderer is still out there?" spirit: dont think of it like that, think of it more as spending some quality time with your favorite papa~! Maka: "Good. Where is he?" spirit: Q-Q Kid: "Take this seriously, Maka. Until we know how on earth someone like Tsumiki could kill someone like Joe, it is irresponsible to rush into battle without a strategy." soul:........ Maka: "Then maybe someone here needs to hurry up and think of a strategy! Or are we just going to sit here and twiddle our thumbs?!" liz: that's what we're already doing. Patty: "Yeah, Little Miss Particular!" (she pinched Maka's cheek) "So just hold your horses!" Maka: "Ow!" liz: for now, we should try thinking about other things. like how about we play some gamecube? Kid: "...Not a bad idea, actually. Perhaps we should let Maka pick the game?" Maka: "How about 'I'm going to break Patty's face if she doesn't let go of my face right this minute'?!" Patty: (still tugging on her cheek) "I don't think we have that game..." soul: patti come on. Maka: (smacks Patty's hand away) Patty: "Oh! That's my favorite hand!" Kid: "Liz? Please, pick a game..." liz: *gets her some ice* soul: we got smash bros. Kid: "Very well, then. I'll play as Kirby." -later- Maka: "Smash! SMASH! SMASH!!!!" spirit: i dont know what im doing! Patty: "Dying! That's what!" (her Samus blasts Spirit off screen with a Smash Attack) tsubaki: anyone want anything to drink? Patty: "Red Bull!" soul: m-dew. Maka: "THE BLOOD OF MY ENEMIES!" (silence, blushes) "Um...Just water." liz: same. Black Star: "Liz wants to drink blood?" -WHAP- liz: water please. Black Star: (bruise on his head) "Okay! Jeez!" Kid: (inhales Liz's character) liz: !! Kid: (spits out the character, gaining their abilities) "Yay!" tsubaki: kid, what did you want to drink? Kid: "Just water!" (isn't looking at the screen...) soul: *knocks him off* owned. Kid: (gasps) "Fly! Fly little, Kirby! Fly--" Patty: "Nope!" (blasts Kirby off-screen) "Dead!" soul: rest in fucking pieces. spirit: language! Maka: (blasts Spirit again) Patty: "Burn, motherfucker, burn!" spirit: Q~Q Kid: (crying) "Kirby..." Maka: "Down to Soul, Patty, and me. Who's going to emerge victorious?" liz: *pats his back* Patty: (blasts at Soul) Kid: (grabs Liz, crying into her shoulder) soul: *blasted* ack! liz: !!! h-hey, calm down, its just a game. Kid: (still sobbing) "Kirby!" Maka: (slams down Patty) "Soul! Gang up on her!" Kid: (soaking Liz's shirt) liz: shhh, its ok, he's fine, ok? spirit: hey, whats wrong? Kid: (kept pointing at Kirby) "The symmetrical blob was defeated! And to be defeated by--by--BY A SAMUS WITH HER WEAPON ON ONLY ONE ARM!" Patty: (rolls her eyes) "Relax, he's fine. See? He's already back to worrying over symmtery!" Maka: "You should worry for yourself!" (delivers one last attack, knocking Samus off to death) Patty: (throws down controller) "Fuck!" tsubaki: *gives him his water* here you go.. Maka: "Just you and me now, Soul..." Kid: (sips) "Th-Thank you..." (then sees how wet is Liz's shirt) "Oh no..." soul: tch- yer on! liz: its ok kid, it'll dry. Maka: (swings Link's sword at Soul) soul: *gets hit* gah *tries to use falcon punch* Maka: (dodges--and delivers one bomb at Captain Falcon) soul: oh shi- *BOOM* *jawdrop* --AND THE WINNER IS...LINK!-- Maka: :D spirit: papa's so proud of you! Maka: "Thank you. And you...lasted longer than I thought you would." spirit: well, i am a death scythe for a reason. *bishonen sparkles* Patty: (looks around in confusion at the bishonen sparkles--then takes one in her hand, shrugs--and eats it) liz: h-how.. Kid: (sniffs from crying) "Don't--just...don't ask." liz:...*pats his back.* Black Star: "Tch. So you won in a video game. Big deal. In the real world, you'd go down like a sack of flour." Maka: -_- tsubaki: 3...2....1... Maka: "CHOP!" --The roof of the apartment building goes up and comes back down— ox: what was that? an earthquake? Harvar: (looks around) "Maybe?" liz: 0_0 Black Star: (pixlated due to graphic nature) Patty: (poking the pixels) liz: stop that! Maka: (checks her book) "I am going through so many books this week..." -later- Patty: (finishes scooping Black Star's remains with a broom and dustpan to reassemble him) tsubaki:..... Maka: (leans back on couch) "I am not looking forward to being locked in...Is it too late for you all? Do you have to get home before curfew? Or can you stay for a bit?" tsubaki: i think black*star and i can stay the night. liz: we have to be getting home. Black Star: (dazed) "I can feel my toes again." Kid: (nodded) "But if you need anything, call us." (looks to Soul) soul:...yeah... Maka: (nods) "Okay...Well, thanks for visiting." liz: no problem. kid's due for his nap anyway. Kid: (frowns) Patty: "Bye bye, Soul! Make sure Maka and Black Star don't do anything stupid!" soul: *nods* -at gallows manor- Kid: *yawns* "Guess I am rather tired..." liz: want some warm milk? Kid: (nods) Patty: "Me too, Sis!" liz: ok then. Kid: (lies back on couch, eyes closed) "What are we going to do..." Patty: (looking around the room) "I wonder where the staff is?" butler: good evening. Patty: "Oh, hey! How're you doin'?" butler: quite well. young master i brought you the daily crossword, and for miss patricia the child's activity page. Kid: *yawn* "Th-Thank you..." (takes the pen) Patty: "Goodie!" (takes the crayon) "You guys doin' okay, what with...everything happening in the city?" butler: we've been able to manage as best as we can. Kid: "..." Patty: (nods) "Thanks again." liz: ok, milk time. Patty: "Yeah! Activity page and milk! Thanks, Sis!" (sips on hers) Kid: *yawns* "Yes, thank you..." (taps pen on paper as he sips a little) liz: *she smiles and sits next to him* how're you holding up? Kid: (shakes his head) "Still bothered. But some things are becoming clearer." liz: hmm.... Kid: (drinks a bit more milk) "I'm too tired to even finish the crossword..." (tipping a bit to the side) liz: careful there. Kid: "...I better finish my drink and...go to...*yawn*...bed..." Patty: (finishes her drink) "Man, I still feel wide awake!" (leaps up) "I can stay up all ni--" (collapses, sleeping) -the next morning- Kid: (waking up) "No...N-No..." (sits up, breathing heavily) "Ugh...I'm covered in sweat..." liz: kid? you ok? Kid: (nods) "Bad dreams. How about you?" liz:....want to talk about it? Kid: "...Just...a lot of people I saw...scared...worried...running away from something." liz: then what? Kid: "...I saw people die." liz: kid..... Kid: "A lot of people we know...and have lost." liz:.....*listening* Kid: "...You...and Patty..." liz: !!! Kid: (puts hands over his face) "No. Not now. I can't talk about this now." liz:....you dont have to. right now, i'd suggest taking a shower and getting some breakfast... Kid: (nods) "Okay..." (gets out of bed, taking his robe with him) "I will see you downstairs in the kitchen in a moment." liz: ok. --After Kid's shower, he comes down to the kitchen-- Patty: (quietly eating, silent) liz: you ok? Patty: "Just...thinking." liz: about what? Patty: "It's been a long time since we had someone we know die..." liz:...yeah.... Patty: "...Sis? I'm scared." liz: *she sighs and hugs her* its going to be ok, i promise... Patty: (nods) "I know..." liz:....kid's starting to have night terrors again.. Patty: "...I can see that." -at school- stocking: hey kid. Kid: (small smile) "Hello. How are you?" stocking: been better... Kid: (nods) "Same." stocking: did you sleep ok? Kid: (shakes his head) "Nightmares." stocking: oh, kid... *she holds his hands* Kid: "...I'll sleep a lot better when we find this killer." stocking: yeah.... Kid: "What do you do when you feel like you can't find a solution?' stocking: well, i usually find help from others, usually my dad. Kid: "...I used to go to Joe." stocking: oh...maybe you can go to your dad? Kid: (nods) "I feel that Father...I mean, I worry he is distracted. It is hard to find time with him." stocking: ah... Kid: "I do think a conversation with him would help..." stocking: we'll go see him after class. Kid: (nods) "To class, then?" stocking: yeah. Kid: "What is our first class?" stocking: hmm, what day is it today? Kid: I believe its Wednesday. stocking: ah, *sigh* math again... Kid: (presses her hand gently) "Just keep at it. You'll be fine." stocking: yeah -after class- stocking: i think im doing better than i was. Kid: (smiles) "That's good. You'll be ready for this test soon." stocking: *groan* -lunch- Kid: (just putting his fork through the mashed potatoes...) liz: kid... Kid: "Sorry...Just thinking." liz:...*sighs* come on, you have to eat _something_ Kid: "...Yes." (puts some mashed potato in his mouth) stocking: why dont we go do something after school together? Kid: "What would you all be up for? A game? Shopping?" liz: how about karaoke? Patty: (perks up) "Yeeeeeeeeees..." Kid: "Um, sure." stocking: that sounds great~! Kid: "Let's meet after class, then?" stocking: sounds good. Kid: (takes more bites of food, eating a little more quickly) -after school, at the karaoke parlor- Patty: "Who's going first?" stocking: i'll go up first. *she chooses a cute pop song* Kid: (leans back in his seat, listening...) liz: she's pretty good. Kid: (sighs, smiles at Stocking) "She's great..." Patty: (humming along) -soon, she finishes- liz: not bad. Kid: (clapping enthusiastically) "You have a great voice! Divine!" stocking: aw, thanks. *she smiles* Patty: "Me next!" (takes the microphone) Kid: (pats a spot next to him for Stocking to sit) stocking: *she sits next to him* Patty: "And now, for some light, happy music!" [it was Barbie girl] liz: *claps* Kid: (claps, a little unnerved by that much pop...) Patty: (dramatic flip of hands and bow) "Thank you, Death City! Good night!" (tosses mic to Liz) liz: well, ok then. *ahem* *she sings good girl by carrie underwood* Kid: "...Wow." Patty: (smiling widely) stocking: neat. Kid: "She is rather good." stocking: she sure is. Kid: "..." (puts a hand along Stocking's) "Thanks for bringing me here." stocking: of course kid. Patty: "Woot! Go, Sis! Yay!" liz: *sigh* ok, your turn kid. Patty: (to Liz) "You need to encore after Kid!" Kid: "Um...what should I sing?" Kid: (flipping through...) "Hmm...Well, I don't like the 'samurai' part, but it is catchy..." (sings "Dancing Samurai"--with all the dance moves, too) liz: oh my gosh. Patty: o_O "This dancing and singing will be burned into my brain for all eternity." stocking: *she's checkin out the booty* uehuehue~ Patty: (notices Stocking, tilts her head) "Huh. Yeah, that is a good view..." liz: oh my god! Patty: "Come on--Kid has a fine-ass booty, Sis." liz: shhhh! Patty: "Pst, Stocking? Did that sound like a denial to you?" stocking: come on, let up you two. i was just having a bit of fun. Kid: (concludes his song, in a pose--then realizes what he's doing and blushes) "Um...H-How was I?" stocking: ....!!! oh! great! encore! *sweats* Patty: "...Booty-ful!" liz: OH MY GOD! Kid: "...Liz? You didn't like my performance?" liz: i was trying to listen, but stocking and patti distracted me by talking about your butt. stocking: L-LIZ!! *blushes* Kid: o\\\\o Patty: "...You have a butt as gorgeous as your singing, Kid! Encore! Woot!" stocking: ## *sigh* kid, can i talk to you, liz you go on up. -outside- stocking: *sigh* im really sorry about that kid, i got a glimpse and my perverted mind distracted me, then patti had to join in. i'm really sorry for doing that to you. Kid: o\\\\o "No, no problem...I mean, you find me attractive, and I don't consider that perverted--I mean, it's normal for people to find each other attractive. It's not like I don't think about your backside from time to time...and your legs...and arms...and--" (slaps his hand over his mouth) stocking:....................................................*NOSEBLEED* geh-....*cough cough* im good.... Kid: (holds up tissue) "Um...Stocking? I know you find me physically attractive...and you know I find you physically attractive too, yes?" stocking: y-yeah. Mutual physical attraction is one of the key things to make a relationship work, as is mutual understand and respect as well as mutual friendship and family-like bond. Kid: (smiles) "Well, we have mutual physical attraction, and I don't think that is going away any time soon...so I will focus on mutual understanding, mutual respect, and mutual familial bonds. Okay?" stocking: *she smiles* come on, i think liz is finishing up. Kid: "Okay." --Enters with Stocking-- liz: *phew* well, how did it go? stocking: it's all good. *she smiles* Kid: (smiles as well, resting a hand on Stocking's) "Yes." liz: ok, you wanna go now kid? Kid: (nods) "Yes..." Kid: (wiggles the mic) "Perhaps a duet, Stocking?" stocking: *blush* sure. --Kid and Stocking begin singing-- Patty: (puts her chin in her hands, her elbows on her knees, and sighs, content) liz: *no comment* Kid: (continues singing, looking at Stocking with a bright smile) -later- Patty: (applause) "Great singing, everyone." stocking: *she hugs kid and kisses him on both cheeks* Kid: (blushing) "You were excellent, Stocking." stocking: you werent so bad yourself~ Patty: "Any more singing?" (drinks her glass of juice) "Or is that enough singing for today?" liz: its gonna get dark soon, so... stocking: hey kid, could you spend the night, if its no trouble? Kid: "I would like that..." (looks back to Liz and Patty) "Would you mind if I stayed with Stocking tonight?) liz:...well, just be careful, ok? Patty: "Yeah. If you see someone who's giving you or Stocking trouble, bop 'em in the nose!" Kid: (small laugh) "Of course. You two be safe, as well. Text me when you get home." liz: of course.

(kisses her neck once more) stocking: aah~ h-hey now... *she chuckles* Kid: "You like it--you know it..." (licks a little on her neck) stocking: oh, so you want a round two, eh? Kid: "I think so...Are you?" stocking: yeah. Kid: "Then let me warm you up...Where do you want my hands?" stocking: anywhere you need them... Kid: (puts a hand along her neck, as he kisses along her neck and above her breasts, his other hand along her lower back) stocking: ahhhh~ Kid: "Sing for me, Angel..." (he slides his hand down along her backside, massaging her right cheek) stocking: aaaaaah~! <3 Kid: "You have such a beautiful ass...You like my hand there?" stocking: yes~ Kid: "You want my fingers digging into your ass?" stocking: *she nods* Kid: (puts both hands on her cheeks, as her hot core rubs against him--and he digs his nails into her cheeks) stocking: *she moans as she rubs against him, still riding him* Kid: (continues to alternate massaging and digging into her backside, staring as her breasts sway) "You beautiful angel...God, Stocking, your breasts..." stocking: w-wait, you should put a fresh condom on first.. Kid: (nods, turns his head to take a new wrapped condom from the nightstand's box) "Help me?" stocking: *she helps him remove the old one and slip on the new one* Kid: (moans with pleasure) "Your fingers are so good..." stocking: yeah...ready? Kid: "...To enter you?" stocking: yeah... Kid: (smirks) "Not more foreplay..." (he brings his tongue to the tip of her nipple, licking lightly) stocking: ah~ unless you want to~ Kid: "I still need to harden a bit more..." (he guides her hand to his penis) "...and maybe you need a bit more..." (kisses along her breast to her armpit) stocking: ah~ *she strokes him slowly* Kid: (licks slowly along her armpit, letting his tongue's texture be felt there) stocking: k-kid~! that tickles~! Kid: "Maybe I think your laugh is enchanting..." (licks again, repeatedly and quickly) stocking: kyahaha~! Kid: (smirks) "I love that laugh...Tell me, where else are you ticklish?" stocking: why dont you try finding out~ Kid: "You tease..." (He seized her shoulders, flipping her onto her back) stocking: ah! *she blushes* Kid: (kisses her lips as his hand slides along her stomach, one finger stroking along her navel) stocking: mmn~ Kid: (his lips move off her lips to her left cheek. His fingers now brush along her abdomen, seeing whether she is ticklish there) stocking: *her hips raise slightly* aah~ Kid: (smirks) "So maybe there?" stocking: l-lower~ Kid: "Not yet...I want to hear you beg..." stocking: kid, please~ i want it~ Kid: (his fingers move slowly, agonizingly slow, from her navel downward...) "You feel so warm..." stocking: *she breaths heavily, sighing a bit* Kid: (slides one fingertip along her lips) "Do you know what I want?" stocking: w-what do you want~? Kid: "You..." (spreads her lower lips) "...against that wall..." stocking: o-ok... *she gets up and presses herself against the wall, slowly shaking her rear.* Kid: "Stocking...is this okay? Please, say no if you don't want to do this." stocking: its ok, i dont mind kid. *she smiles* if its you, then i'll be alright. Kid: (wraps his arms around her chest, burying his head against her back) "If it's you, then I am alright...I love you, Stocking." stocking: *she smiles and kisses his hand gently* Kid: (leads his hand down to her core, pressing his finger along her clitoris) "I am going to make you laugh, and howl, and scream, until you are shouting only my name, you hot, beautiful angel..." stocking: ahhhh~ *she shivers, blushing* Kid: "You feel so hot inside...Tell me..." (He eases his finger into her slowly) "What were thinking when you saw my butt? What did you want to do to me?") stocking: nngh~ i-i wanted to...*blush* s-smack that booty... Kid: "How hard?" stocking: enough to leave a mark... Kid: (He slides out his finger) "You'd have to do it symmetrically..." stocking: of course. Kid: (has slid the finger out of her) "You are burning up, Angel...How hard would you spank me?" (Light smack on her backside) "This hard?" stocking: ah~ Kid: "Maybe harder?" (Spanks her harder) stocking: ooh~! Kid: "Still no mark left on that gorgeous ass...Maybe you are just too perfect not to bruise..." (pulls back, spanking her even harder) stocking: AHHH~! Kid: "Did that hurt?" stocking: f-felt good~ Kid: "Good." (One last smack--that finally leaves a mark) stocking: ahh~!!<3 Kid: (rubs his hand along the mark) "Should I kiss it?" stocking: if you want to~ Kid: (gets on his knees, lightly kisses repeatedly along the bruise) stocking: ahhh~ Kid: (continues kissing...until he makes one long extended lick along her cheek) stocking: di-did you want to take me from behind? Kid: (smiles) "Yes.. I just wanted...a taste first..." (kneels lower and licks along her slit) stocking: ahhhAHHHHH~! Kid: "Should I have another taste? Or should I shove my hard cock into you?" stocking: if you want~ Kid: (kisses along her slit...While a finger moves at the top of the crack of her backside) stocking: ahh-ahhhhh~! Kid: (stands up...and spreads her cheeks a bit) "You do have an incredible booty yourself...When this is over, you can spank me as long as you want..." stocking: *she mewls lightly* Kid: (relaxes her cheeks, holds her hips and kisses along her back) "Ready to feel me in you?" stocking: ahhhh~ y-yes~ Kid: (gulps) "G-good..." (lets his fingers spread her lips, as he guides the top of his erect penis along her, rubbing her first) stocking: oohhh~ kiiiid~ Kid: "Say my name again..." (He slides the tip into her slowly) "I couldn't hear you..." stocking: kiiiiiid~! Kid: "Louder!" (He thrusts hard into her) stocking: KIIIID~!! Kid: (thrusts a bit more gently) "Good..."
