[color=tomato]"For some reason the discord crew thinks now would be a good time for me to engage everyone in a group hug. Clearly they don’t know me that well. I don’t want to get shot by a deathray.”[/color]

[color=888888]— Suki Oyama[/color][/center]

No matter how much Suki spoke with Tsubomi, it didn’t seem like anything she said got any kind of reaction out of her. Even waving her hand in front of the lethargic girl’s face did little. The delinquent sighed and folded her arms. [color=tomato]"We need to find a-”[/color] Suki almost said “cure” until she remembered how useful it was to have a partner like Tsubomi. Yes, it would be beneficial to be able to turn her emotions on and off, but not outright leave her with them. Giving her emotions permanently would effectively kill the Tsubomi she knew, and it wasn’t like she was suffering much. At least, she didn’t [i]seem[/i] to be suffering. It did suck that she was becoming more and more withdrawn from everything. It was unusual that she could notice this in a supposedly apathetic girl, Suki thought. 

With her conversation with Tsubomi going nowhere, her attention drifted over to Roche. It seemed like all the rulekeeper had been doing recently was feeling sorry for herself. The beach thing was only a month or so ago, and now a spat with Rei had sent her into another downward spiral. The surprise? She was actually getting support. And not just a little bit either. Tsubomi had decided to work her magic on Roche’s emo ass, despite not having the strength to answer Suki’s questions. The sarcastic Kiyo was able to set her bullshit aside long enough to say a few encouraging words. Shuuko snapped out of her trance [i]just[/i] to dive into Roche’s lap like a jealous lover. Even Nyxia, who she was pretty sure didn’t care for anyone, was able to find a few words in a rant about Rei that were [i]definitely[/i] intended as a compliment. And of course, such a lovely exchange of affection for Roche wasn’t complete without her throwing a snide comment Suki’s way. 

Meanwhile, what were Suki’s prospects? Roche was a no-go out of principle. Shuuko dropped nine points and Suki could never look at her the same again.  Nyxia probably still hated her more than Rei, which was impressive given that all she had ever done was exactly what Nyxia wanted. Kiyo had already friendzoned her and wanted to be sisters. The boring sort of sisters that didn’t do taboo things together. And then there was Tsubomi, at which point Suki might as well start making out with her body pillow again. The other members didn’t matter because they were either in a relationship or hadn’t been around.

[color=tomato]"Riiiiiiigggggghhhhhhhhhhhttttttttt…”[/color] Suki played with the lid on her zippo lighter while walking towards the door. [color=tomato]"Welp, it doesn’t sound like Boss Baby is going to be here today, but it [i]does[/i] sound like we’re going to go hunting tomorrow, which is what everyone wanted right? I don’t think we need to spend any more time here. Maybe then we can show Boss Baby how cool Roach is and get her that validation that she needs.”[/color] She laughed. [color=tomato]"WEW! I think I’m going to treat myself today. I’m going to put some fresh underwear on instead of turning these bad boys inside out.”[/color] Once Suki got past the threshold of the door, she slouched, stuck a cigarette in her mouth, and power walked down the hallway.

She didn’t need them, and she had always knew that. Suki deserved something better than some selfish dark magical girlfriend. With the Gems infringing on their turf, there would be plenty of opportunities to get that ten out of ten light girlfriend that she always dreamed of having. She blew some carcinogenic smoke into the air before leaving school.

[color=seagreen]“That’s not how you do subtle foreshadowing, Suki.”[/color]

[color=888888]— Rei Ishiko[/color][/center]

Rei and Willow were walking down a sidewalk. They didn’t talk, but Rei preferred it that way. Willow was the one person she never had to explain herself to. That didn’t mean she wasn’t prone to doing some [i]very[/i] strange things, but it was easy to overlook her faults when she overlooked hers. 

One of the pros of having a quiet walking partner was that you could focus on your surroundings. Above them, a high tech heroine  soared overhead with a beat up cardboard box. Willow hadn’t noticed, and Rei flicked her eyes away from the sky before she could get noticed herself. It didn’t take the magical girl long to disappear behind a row of buildings. 

In the past, Rei might have called in the rule keeper to notify them of the trespassing light girl, but there was no need. Roache said she would take care of everything, so she wasn’t going to worry about it. After all, seeing how the Detention club dealt with a surprise like this would be more interesting if she didn’t tell them about it. Calling up Roache would have been a hassle anyway.
