[OOC] Sapphire Roses

[Genkai]

Yeah I know. u_u

I think Botan and Kurama may want to solidify the rumors before hand. It just seems clearer IMO to have them just give in sooner for her and his sake and then when he saves her from jumping off the roof or cutting her throat, everyone could become less envious and more 'happy for them' or something like that. Well not all the girls would be accepting but that act would probably earn them both some 'points' of some sort.

We can just gloss over the training since I think that might be a pot-hole for us to get stuck in. XD But I did want her to be some sort of healer over time but not just starting up. I think being around plants would be able to show she has that kind of an affinity.

And yes, some scrubs can try to join but find it to be boring, not as sexy sexy as they imagined it to be haha.

Yeah I mean imps, little tiny nameless fuckers who are more mischievous than dangerous so they'd be able to give Botan a challenge with speed but not overpower her in battle.

I'm almost done with my post, I hate it but I'm too far in to do heavy editing. >___>'

[SoleAccord]

That was my second plan. Kurama just takes the initiative and claims Botan during lunch or something because if he doesn't, there's no telling how much she'll be harassed for dates. So if he does stop her, school-wide OTP lol. It may be a problem if anyone hears about it though, since that was too close to being the third suicide at that school. What's Botan to tell anyone who asks?

I think we talked about her just being a very utility-based combatant. We'll touch on it when it starts, but yeah, Botan isn't a Yusuke or a Hiei whatsoever. She is a delicate flower and must be protected. ;3

What would they expect in a hot ass greenhouse? TOTALLY good times? They'll be backing out after a couple of days.

Sounds good. Should we pencil that in for later in the week, or next week?

I know that feeling :C do your best. Progress is progress, right?

[Genkai]

It would be funny to see girls throwing shade and guys tripping over themselves to get to her and Kurama has enough of this nonsense with all the questions and stares and just flat out says they're a couple without warning Botan. But in his defense, they both benefit and they can't have distractions while they try to find out who/where the demon is hiding. XD I just assumed Kurama would save Botan in a semi-public place with a handful of people around, sort of allowing him to look less stuff/stoic. But if you wanted him to do it alone, that would probably work too.

Botan needs to get her bat and lay some demons the fuck down.

Demon hunting at night? It could be this week or next.

And I added some basic info on the CS tab as I wonder how to end my post. Feel free to add your own post/info there though. I wish you could edit...

So when I do end my post, should I take us to lunch or let you do that? I don't see much happening between ow and then.

[SoleAccord]

Oh, with that in mind, let's have it be during lunch, and the admirers of Botan are just all over their table. It's been going on since their first class, with people looking at her with longing looks. I think, for the sake of Botan's sanity, his own, and their ability to get shit done as far as investigations go, he will take the matter into his own hand. They can't tip-toe around that issue forever. Kurama will come out at lunch and admit to their relationship, which Botan will hopefully understand why he's doing such a thing. I think he'll place a hand on hers ;3 He can save her somewhere, whether catching a blade before she drags it across her throat, or wrapping his arms around her and pulling her away from a certain death drop.

Bring the bat, it's her signature weapon, and they can try to make plans to do legwork before they return home, but not too late. Shiori worries :C

I noticed. I wish I could edit too, but when information of importance comes up I'll try my best to make a section for it.

I'm sorry you lost the post D: if you didn't, I'd say end it at lunch so Kurama can take the next step. From there I might have to let it roll out so Botan can talk about what he just did.

[Genkai]

That works for me, I think it would be a real surprise but she'd figure it out and try to have fun with it. Do you think we should have them demand to prove their status? Botan and Kurama are gonna have to come up with how they met and how long they've been together, etc. But it could also be a 'reason' why Kurama hasn't been keen to get close to anyone, mostly girls. Though how shitty would those girls feel if they thought Botan tried to kill herself because of them? XD

She will need to modify it to channel her energy but that can be done later.

Alrighty, let me know if anything does need to be edited though.

I'll try to take it to lunch if I feel up to it. *sighs* I was just reading it before I posted when it died. Guess it wasn't a fan eheh. But I'll start on a new now, hopefully I don't take too long with it. I feel bad I lost it. I'm sorry.

[SoleAccord]

If it's demanded, it could extend the lunch scene a bit, and it's best they get it all out of the way now so everyone can just accept it later. Botan's status as Kurama's secret lover does make Kurama's distance from other girls make sense, too. And I don't think any of those girls would risk messing with Botan in front of Kurama. It would need to be some criticisms he isn't around to hear. If they did hear about Botan's actions, they'd probably feel like human trash xD

Don't feel bad for an honest mistake dude. At least you're starting over again in a timely fashion. I'd be too fucking sad to do so xD

[Genkai]

Decided to make myself feel better by looking at house layouts. I know we mentioned the layout briefly but I'm a visual gal so I wondered if any of these looked good to you so we're ref the same thing? We can probably put a garden anywhere. I also knew we saw it briefly in the anime, or at least I recall but who cares.

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Option 4

They may accused Botan of being some hired girlfriend or something, at least when Kurama isn't around. ^^; But I still vouch in favor for making the bitches feel like shit when Botan does try to kill herself. Fuck bullies man.

And I'm hoping I can have the post done within the hour since at least I know the general set up, unlike the first go around. Try, try, try again yeah? You don't need me to find a ref for Botan's uniform do you? I found one once but I'm just wondering if I need to Google it again or nah.

[SoleAccord]

Didn't Kurama and Shiori live in an apartment? Ah well. Option 2 looks good. It also helps that the bedrooms are just a step away, since Shiori will have Master, and Botan/Kurama are free to conduct some business... and some business on top of that business ;3333

Hired girlfriend? Hooooly shit I'd bust my gut laughing. Fuck bullies, I second that. Let's go with a few female students who crush on Kurama being petty with Botan. Male-wise, I think Kurama can keep some men away who don't understand the position they're in. He'll remind them who Botan is with. There won't be a third reminder though :O

Yeah but I take things a lot harder than you, you know that. As for a reference, it's the blue one right? I don't think I need a reference for it, unless the uniforms at Kurama's academy are far different than the ones Yusuke attends?

[Genkai]

I thought it was a small townhouse of sorts. I thought Yusuke lived in an apartment. Oh well, it doesn't really matter now lol

I've been bullied. If I could fuck with them mentally, I'd totally had done it XD But the horny boys wanna put their thing in her thing! It's only natural right??? Botan is gonna be pretty tempted to add gas to the fire if some girls do keep asking her for details about Kurama and stuff. You know Kurama won't add to locker room talk but he may need to shut it down.

And no, it's the maroon one so the clothes he often wears are his uniform, go figure right?

ref 1

ref 2

ref 3

[SoleAccord]

It's been a while xP

You and me both dude. What do you mean by locker room talk? I have an idea of what you're talking about; is it sort of like what Botan would do when she's in Spirit World and in a relationship with Kurama at the time, and she goes and tells anyone who listens how amazing it is to be with a legendary bandit like him? Oh, Botan, you're going to be a handful xD

The maroon color actually looks pretty cool. A huge contrast to Botan's hair. Talk about standing out even more!

[Genkai]

Ah well, creative licence yo.

I mean like, the kind of BS guys talk about alone together which probably deals with women and the raunchy like topics. Unless guys don't do that?

And yep, I prefer his private HS uniform to Yusuke's junior high one. Though we may as well assume during any season they just wear the same thing, less complicated. And I'm about 75% done with the post. Wooo.

[SoleAccord]

Oh, I thought you meant BOTAN was going to be the one to do all that talking. Guys in the locker room talking about Botan? Yeah, he'll get a handle on it. It's gonna be weird to him, being a boyfriend even if pretend, but he's a protective guy so I think it'll come natural to him.

75%? Hot damn :D!

[Genkai]

Oh no, she might tease the girls but nothing more hahaha. She knows she's lucky, it being a facade or not. XP And who doesn't love a protective Shuichi~?

Yep, almost done. This time I'm saving my post as I go along, just in case.

[SoleAccord]

Something tells me Botan might lead them on a little to make them jealous. How often does she ever have the chance to do that? Not very. I look forward to when the Yoko side of him comes out for a threat. No one could believe Kurama would fuck someone up, but for that split-second in time they're believers xD

Better yet, plug that shit in. LOL!

[Genkai]

Yoko won't like people talking about his woman. XDXDXD And Botan will get pretty feisty if pushed too. They're perfect for each other~

And I plugged it in already. In fact it's done charging. It ends up holding 11-12 hours so I seldom have to charge, which is why when it does need to be plugged in, I have to figure out where I put the charger last. Eheh.

And you should be getting it in 5 mins, just gotta format for color. I actually like this post more, even if it pisses me off.

[SoleAccord]

It will be a LITTLE tamer because this is Kurama, rather than the full Yoko persona, but for a second there you wouldn't be able to tell the difference if you knew both sides. He wouldn't want to lose his cool in front of anyone, but if he had to hear another sick remark about Botan he was going to lose it. Maybe people know not to fucking say shit about her then, and word gets back to Botan about Kurama having a locker room confrontation to defend her honor. <333 Botan can't beat anyone up though in her own locker room tho!

And yet you still somehow blew it. Tsk tsk! At least you like this version more, but why are you upset because of it?

[Genkai]

I swear when they go on dates around the park, there will be spies just trying to take pics and creepy shit like that. >___>

But I am done! It's not easy finding legible colors so let me know if any of the need to be switched out.

And I like this one because it was more 'to the point' with maybe 1-2 paragraphs less of filler. But I hate having do twice the work for one post. Argh. But for you, it's worth it.

[SoleAccord]

Let's hope it won't come to that. I think Kurama's statement will be enough. You ever think you're hidden and then the one you're spying on just turns around and looks right at you? Yeah, no one wants that. No one.

Your colors were all appropriate! You did miss a small bit of Botan dialogue to color in and bold on the second or third paragraph but I didn't miss it, so don't worry.

You said everything that needed to be said so there are no complaints here. Now I get to plan out how these questions are going to come, and Kurama's response. Expect that it may be a little shorter, since I want Botan's reaction to being his girlfriend to be the major point for your next post <3

[Genkai]

You just never know with fan groups. I do look forward to when they're pretending to go on dates and then actually become a real boyfriend/girlfriend without noticing. :3

Aw darn, should I go back and edit?

Oh yeah, I'm not expecting anything as lengthy as mine, I did have to skip. ^^; I'm sure Botan will have quite an interesting reaction, depending upon what all happens in your post. I'm probably going to hit the hay in a few minutes though, or at least log off. My body is killing me after the workout this morning.

[SoleAccord]

Check your phone and get some rest. You more than earned it :D
