Roche and Nyxia had come up with a plan easily enough, but now they would need to track down the others. Roche couldn't rightly drag anyone anywhere without putting her hands on them first. [hr] The mascot stopped purring and began walking back towards the school grounds, not that it was apparent at the pace Tsubomi had set for herself. [i]'^' ._. >_<[/i] Its screen continued to change as they walked. Eventually they came to an intersection between some suburban homes and the mascot “glared” at Tsubomi. [i]-_-[/i] It approached a nearby house, or more specifically, a fence. Leaning against the fence was a bicycle. It was rare for people around here to leave out anything, but there was a faster mode of transportation just laying outside. Sure, it was kind of girly, even for a girl. It had a white frame with a pink seat and handlebars, along with tinsel tassels and a glittering decal of a unicorn. It was in pristine shape and didn't have as much as a scratch on it. Even the tires were clean and showed no sign of dirt. Whoever parked here had to be unfamiliar with the area. The mascot rubbed up against it while looking at Tsubomi. Then it climbed on top of the seat and hopped into the basket on the front of it. All without breaking “eye contact” with the lethargic student. Then a nearby bush moved. Leaves flew into the air as a pink haired girl lunged out of the bush. Armed with her [url=https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/43179427-5471-41e5-8251-c31cf7eda08c.png]trusty bug net[/url], she managed to swing it over the mascot’s head. [color=pink]”Gotcha!”[/color] [i]o_O[/i] The mascot tried to wrestle free, but the metal loop on the bug net was caught on the back of the monitor, preventing escape. With a twist, the net was turned over, and the mascot with it. They were flipped out of the bike’s basket and fell completely into the net. [color=pink]”That’ll teach ya ta shit on mah bike!”[/color] She placed her foot on the bike’s tire and swung the bug net over her shoulder. There was a grin on her face, and her other hand was balled into a fist and confidently pressed against her hip. [i]X_X[/i] [color=pink]”And whaddaya doin’ 'ere, kid? Aintcha got homework ta do?”[/color] [hr] [center][img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/693c4ddb-c4a0-4c91-afe8-579347b62006.png[/img] [color=tomato]"Socializing [i]is[/i] bad!”[/color] [color=888888]— Suki Oyama[/color][/center] When Oros the Joyful learned that she could make anyone she wanted infatuated with her, her mind filled with possibilities. She could turn everyone in a classroom into her little darling, transform the school into a giant harem, or even turn the entire town into her kingdom! It all sounded good on paper, until she set out to actually try it. Humans just couldn’t take the potency of her spells. After a single kiss, they’d lose consciousness. Having your date go to sleep the second you want to do something intimate kinda sucked. But Oros had her methods. She was standing against the sink in the woman’s bathroom. Each of her arms held two girls and the five of them stood in a huddle. They were pawing at the side of Oros's face while she tried to tell them how her week was going. [color=tomato]"...And at first I thought winning the tickets would be a blessing, but I couldn't convince her to go with me.”[/color] A girl with a long ponytail leaned in closer. [b]”I would go with you, Oros.”[/b] [color=tomato]"Aww, Takeko! I could roll a cinnamon stick through honey, then sugar, then honey again, and it wouldn’t be as sweet as you are!”[/color] She kissed the girl on the lips, and she collapsed at her feet. [color=tomato]"But I don’t know what I could have done differently! This all started because I pulled one over on her partner, like [i]she[/i] wanted me to! But she’ll stick by that bully! I don’t get it!”[/color] Another girl with a bob cut stepped over Takeko and hugged Oros. [b]”It was all part of Bedshaker’s plan. You were led to look like a monster in front of Nyx.”[/b] [color=tomato]"I couldn’t agree more Koneko! Your wisdom is only matched by your beauty, which outshines the stars like the rising sun!”[/color] Another kiss, and Koneko collapsed on top of Takeko. [color=tomato]"B-but I don’t know what to do now. Nobody in the Detention Club seems to like me.”[/color] A petite girl with shoulder length hair jumped onto her. They wrapped their arms around her neck and swung off the ground. [b]”Make your own club!”[/b] [color=tomato]"It’s not that simple, Isamu. If nobody likes me, than who’s going to join my club?”[/color] [b]”I would!”[/b] Oros smiled. [color=tomato]"That’s because your heart is as deep and warm as, um, my mouth?”[/color] Suki placed her lips over Isamu’s. Before her tongue could slide out of her mouth, Isamu lost her strength and slumped to the ground. The pile of girls was starting to get pretty high. [color=tomato]"Seriously? Is there an end to this vicious cycle?”[/color] [color=lavender]"Yes.”[/color] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/brokenpromise/images/18ad5ccb-ba9e-4d6c-a097-a4529ffa34ec]Tatsu[/url], a teacher Oros managed to snag, positioned herself in front of her. Oros didn’t typically try to snag faculty members but she had always liked Tatsu’s style. She was just so effortlessly cool all the time and seemed invincible. Even better, she was a smoker. Obviously she never did it on the job, but Oros had caught her doing it a few nights while waiting for dates. Seemed Oros wasn’t the only lonely person in this town.. [color=lavender]"You must realize your self worth.”[/color] [color=tomato]”My self worth?”[/color] Oros pointed at herself. [color=tomato]”You’re not just trying to make me feel happy, are you?”[/color] It wasn’t uncommon for those under her curse to just spout nonsense in an attempt to make her feel better. [color=lavender]"No, I am being quite serious. But self worth is self worth. You need to find something you value.”[/color] Tatsu placed her hands on Oros’s shoulders, and Oros slowly leaned backwards into the sink. She draped herself over her, with their noses almost touching. The weight and warmth of her body sunk right through Oros’s uniform. [color=lavender]"You need to become a miner, and really dig inside yourself to find it, but I know it’s there.”[/color] [color=tomato]”Eh, Miss Sugiyama? That kind of sounded like some bullshit you’d see in a feel good tv show.”[/color] [color=lavender]"Is it though? If you don’t dig, you’ll never find it. But maybe I can take the first few scoops of dirt away for you.”[/color] She began to close her eyes. [color=lavender]"Ex marks the spot.”[/color] [color=tomato]”Wha-”[/color] Suki was too shocked to properly appreciate Tatsu’s warmth and taste. By the time she was ready, Tatsu pulled back and wiped off her mouth. [color=lavender]"Can you keep digging?”[/color] [color=tomato]”M-Miss Sugiyama? You’re still awake!?”[/color] Oros smiled. [color=tomato]”Are you a magical woman? Have you-”[/color] Tatsu collapsed on top of Oros. Then she slip off of the deranged magical girl and fell onto the pileup behind her. None of the girls in the pile looked happy. Each one was laying in an uncomfortable position, and the expression on their face voiced that discomfort. Even the cool, immortal Tatsu looked like little more than a sacrifice laying on top of an altar. Her face was exhausted, and her arms were draped back in weary acceptance. Oros stepped around the unconscious bodies and departed from the restroom as fast as she could. She dove out the window and scrambled home as fast as she could go. She tried to not think about what just happened. She tried not to cry. But like everything she tried to do this week, she failed.
