Masato comes back to Tama's tree. "Tama-san, I think I've got the last thing you were looking for!" He holds out Elle's hair. He still feels awkward about it, but this should be it. Mission Accomplished. Right?
Tama swings down with a flourish, snatching up the hair.
"Fuckin rad! You can come up and stuff now if you want!"
Contagion | Channing | Event Reaction OPEN
Channing’s eyes followed Tama’s directions, but though she had no clue what they were talking about, she didn’t for a second let off of her goofy grin, and looked back to Tama unphased.
"Then I’ll just climb onto the castle walls and boost myself over. It’ll be no problem. What, are you gonna try and stop me too?"
As if she already knew the answer, she released the tree from her bear hug and scooped down to pick up a rock and hurled it at Tama. Oh how the turn tables.
The rock missed, without the tanuki even having to dodge. Seems fevers don't do much to improve one's aim. They were thoroughly unimpressed and made a noise that implied as much. Suddenly, their features began shifting.
"Herp derp, my name's Pissbaby I don't know how to throw a fucking rock and I'm a huge dumbass who wants to fall in the moat and get drowned by kappa."
Well then. Rude.
Contagion | Channing | Event Reaction OPEN
"Climbin’ a tree, gonna escape this cluster f***,"
Or so she claimed. Not only did Channing have the legs of a writer, she had the arms of one too. You know, when you grow up apart from nature and you avoid nature like the plague, practical skills like climbing trees don’t exactly sound the most tempting. But bizzaro!Channing knew nothing of the sort, and this giant tree was just an obstacle she needed to get over. So, doing all in her power, she attempts to claw her way up, which results in little more than splinters breaking out under her nails.
…Why were you worried Masato?
"You're pretty shit at it."
Tama swung lazily, snickering as Channing floundered her attempts at climbing. "Pretty shit" was an understatement. She wasn't even reaching for a branch.
"Dunno what you're talkin about either. There's nothing up here but my house, dumbass. The door's over there."
They pointed at the untouched castle gates.
Contagion | Channing | Event Reaction OPEN
Instinctively, Channing let out a high pitched squeak when Masato pushed right onto her pressure point, but the moment was soon over as Channing burst into another fit of laughter. What exactly did Masato hope to accomplish, trying to reason out with a psycho she had become? Sense was never applicable when someone was suffering from a disease of this magnitude.
And following in the ritual of sense-making, of course Masato had the bright idea to let Channing go on. Of course, such freedom came with a stern warning. But would she heed such a warning?
Nah.
Just as Masato finished speaking, Channing took off into a dead bolt towards that tree, running as fast as the weakened legs of a writer could carry her.
Masato preps himself to run after her when a new thought comes into his mind… Why NOT just let Tama deal with her? She could probably stand to be ridiculed a bit before he knocked her out… And seeing as Tama wasn’t in the most positive place in his mind, they could probably stand to deal spend some quality time with her as well…
Well, if worst came to worst, he could always just step in and knock out Channing anyway… Something told him that Channing wouldn’t be the one on the worse end…
He sighs. Let’s just see how this plays out he seems to think as he walks closer to the tree to be prepared.
"Tama-san!"
He calls out to make sure they have the tanuki’s attention… Wasn’t that instigating things a bit much? Who knows.
Truthfully, Tama had been watching the procession heading towards their tree since it had appeared outside. In their opinion, it was hysterical. Seeing Ninja Douche flustered and Pissbaby taking the stick out of her ass for once was pretty awesome! They're hopping down branches to go talk to Channing before Masato even opened his mouth and as she collides with the solid wood, they hang down from one of the lower branches to make their greeting.
"Whatcha dooooin?"
Go to the tree, she said. It'll be fun! she said | Masato | Chapter 3 | [Closed for Momoe]
Was she even part of this conversation? She honestly could ask herself that. Looking around the tree wasn’t worth it if she had to solve a riddle, she wasn’t exactly the best at figuring those out was she? Riddles where something she didn’t want to try her hand at anymore.
But, in all honesty there wasn’t anything that she could even say as things progressed there, she didn’t want to get involved in whatever in the world was going on.
Though, just the fact she was there she always slightly involved.
"I’ll ask it for what seems like the 20th time, what are you doing…"
She doesn’t even sound like it’s a question, she just sounds. So confused and rather finished with this. Not that she’d leave, that was something entirely different.
Normally. A normal person would respond to this situation with something along the lines of “It’s not what it looks like!” Panic, pull away, and try to cover for themselves. But you see, Masato isn’t that kind of person. He knew what his intent was, and quite frankly, he has no interest in boobs, so in his mind, groping them made absolutely no sense. Especially when Tama’s reaction to it was… Well… Incredibly casual. So there wasn’t really any reason to panic. Instead he casually removed his hand, and just kinda looked at it.
"Well uh… I was trying to grab the leaf from around their neck… And uh… Yeah. That happened."
He said to Momoe. To be honest, he was completely puzzled by it. By all means, that shouldn’t have been something that happened. But he was had to accept that it did.
"… It must have been Magic or an Illusion or something… There’s no way I should have missed grabbing that…"
Well. Seeing as we failed once, we should probably try a second time to be sure. ask politely about it.
"So uh… Tama-san… What would happen if you removed your leaf? Would you uh… Revert to your true form? Or uh… Something like that, yeah."
But they also said something about a riddle, right?
"Oh right! You’re the one who uh, writes the riddles…"
Considering the options, why would he pay them. Didn’t they GIVE him the coins when he solved the other riddles?
"Perhaps I could uh, solve a riddle if that will get me into the tree…"
Doesn’t change the fact that he’s still curious about the leaf thing.
Tama snickers madly as Masato takes back his hand and makes his excuses. What a nerd.
"Sure bro, keep telling yourself that."
They pout at Masato's admission that he was trying to take the leaf, seeming put-out and slightly offended.
"The only thing you'd get outta takin this is seeing me naked, douchebag. So how about we fuckin don't, yeah?"
At the mention of the riddle however, their mood seems to bounce back, at least mostly. They make a long drawn out hmmmmmm noise, leaning back thoughfully, bare toes wiggling.
"Since it's for both of ya, and because you were totally fuckin rude, I guess it can't just be a straight riddle! So how about... you bring me three things. Bring me a petal from the reddest rose, a smile that will never fade, and gold that's softer than silk, and you two can look around all you want."
Go to the tree, she said. It'll be fun! she said | Masato | Chapter 3 | [Closed for Momoe]
The idea of actually getting to the top of the tree had never crossed her mind, that could be something pretty interesting… Maybe they could have found someway out of here?
Nah, doesn’t seem like anything was going to get done here now.
Masato giving the Tanuki was a bit confusing if for a moment, she had to take that moment to actually remember anything about Tanuki’s. Blame the fact she wasn’t the most attentive of students when it came to this stuff.
Though, she wasn’t surprised when the leaf ended up fluttering around in the wind. Least the guy had tried honestly, even if it had been kind of strange of an idea.
"I almost don’t want to even know…"
She mumbled, crossing her arms and glancing away. She felt like she had nothing to even add to this. Thanks Momoe.
Wow Tama. That’s rude. You don’t just rip up someone’s leaf like that, especially when they just want to see if placing it on your head will make you transform. … Wait. Speaking of leaves, there appears to be one. Right there. Around their neck…
"I uh…"
Welp. Masato was pretty confused by that last statement… What on Earth could they have possibly meant by that?
"… I don’t understand what you mean…"
Of course, that was only half true. Considering this tanuki’s nature and things they said earlier, he should have been able to figure it out. But right now, there was a different question he wanted answered.
"I apologize in advance."
He said, seemingly out of nowhere as his hand shot out towards the leaf hanging around Tama’s neck. Mission: Remove that leaf.
Also while he was at it, he could learn which was quicker, Tanuki or ninja… Maybe. If he doesn’t end up just punching himself in the face.
Well Masato, it was technically Tama's leaf, since not only did you give it to them but you also ripped it off of their house without asking. Rude.
"It's kind of fucking obvious? If you want in the tree you either pay me, oooooooooooooor you can solve a riddle or do a dare or--"
Masato did not punch himself in the face. But he didn't grab the leave in one fluid motion either. Instead he managed to wrap his hands around something else. Something much more...squishy.
"Bruh, grabbing my tits does not in any way make your homo crush on anime pretty boy any less obvious. And like, if you wanna feel them you should ask? You can't just grab someone's balls without asking."
Go to the tree, she said. It'll be fun! she said | Masato | Chapter 3 | [Closed for Momoe]
She pouts a bit at Tama’s comment, wasn’t that more presumptuous than anything else? Clearly though, she wouldn’t get anywhere pointing that out, she remained instead with the scowl she had chosen earlier.
So she had nothing to really say for the most part there.
"Considering that this tree is part of the area we just got access too it would only be natural for us to want to look around it right?"
She couldn’t even climb the thing probably, she preferred her feet very much on the ground. And she still managed to look annoyed, thanks Momoe.
More than likely, she could have fit in the look around it part.
Well, at least the topic had changed now… Even if on a crude remark from a troublesome tanuki… Wait… Tanuki… Tanuki… Hmmm… We’ll try that out in a bit.
"Hmm… I was just going to uh, investigate the area… I wanted to climb up to the top of the tree and see if there was anything I could see but…"
Masato moved over to one of the lower hanging branches and jumped up, picking a leaf off of it before walking back towards Tama.
"Would that uh… Would that be okay, Tama-san?"
Yep. This is going to turn out to be a terrible idea. I can already feel it.
They stretched, chest jiggling. It was safe to say they weren't wearing a bra.
"Welllll, since it's my tree, I think that it's pretty natural for me to say who can and who can't do that!"
Tama took the leaf from Masato and snickered, ripping it apart with their hands idly.
"Uh, bruh? As much as I appreciate the sentiment, I think I can get a leaf from my own fucking house pretty easily on my own. Find a better bribe ninja douche."
They threw the ripped up pieces of leaf in the air like confetti, and got a mischievous glint in their eye.
"...OOOOOOOR we could do something fun."
Go to the tree, she said. It'll be fun! she said | Masato | Chapter 3 | [Closed for Momoe]
Honestly, she knew just about as much about the comments as Masato appeared to know. She hardly noticed Masato’s comment to her though, frustration does not do her well when it comes to thinking. Or noticing things.
Despite not being particularly close to either of the other two she did jump for a moment upon Tam falling from the tree, appearing to be doubled over laughing at this situation? That could be her best guess.
Well mad wasn’t a bad description of her right now but the rest of it. What in the world…
"If you’re using slang don’t expect people to know it right away."
She scowls, put those down for things she never really wanted to think about. The joy of not caring about that kind of stuff was amazing to her at the very least.
A long silence. Masato needed to comprehend what he had just heard. So… basically what they had been saying was…
"Ah… I see… So you were suggesting that—- … Wait- What?! No."
He seems shocked. Astonished. How dare you say that about him, Tama.
"No. I’m not interested in those kinds of things!"
It seems that he got the gist of what you were saying… the… Implications. You could probably bet that behind his mask his face is probably bright red.
"Pfft! As if you're fooling aaaaanyone! Deny it all you want, ninja douche, but these eyes see right through ya."
They crossed their legs, still snickering, and crossed their arms over their bodacious chest.
"So what the fuck do you two want anyway?"
Go to the tree, she said. It'll be fun! she said | Masato | Chapter 3 | [Closed for Momoe]
Just as quickly as things were being answered she was still getting just as confused, her hands clenched at the ends of her skirt as she tried to control her annoyance.
Admittedly, she did watch Masato as he fell, how do people do stuff like that… Being as non-athletic as she was stuff like that was still pretty over her head.
But, this was not the time to continue to think about that. Amazingly, she managed to cut off the thought quickly.
"No, I don’t have a clue what you are talking about…"
She does let a bit of annoyance get in her voice, eyes glancing between the two. All the interactions with this one had been more about one sided tossing of acorns at her, why they found this funny she had no idea.
"What are you even saying!”
She glared at Tama as she did recognize the ‘insult’, as bizarre as it sounded she at least caught that much.
Letting out a sigh a moment later though, her expression softened a bit. Just a bit, any more would be asking a miracle. She was annoyed and a bit angry but she didn’t exactly want to show much more than that.
She was even annoyed at herself for continuing to just ask questions!
Does she seem annoyed? … Maybe… Is she annoyed with Masato or Tama though… Masato couldn’t tell. Well, better to play it safe and be a good person.
"I uh… I’m sorry if I’m bothering you…"
He managed to say before his attention was once again distracted by Tama. No-homoing? Thirsty? What the heck was this person even on about? Slang terms? Right over Masato’s head.
"Thirsty? What uh… What do you mean? I mean, I guess it’s kinda hard for me to drink anything with this mask on but…"
Pchoooooooo! There they go.
"… Maybe I uh… could go for some water right now… Wait…"
Ok, now he looks like he’s just thinking way to hard on this… After pondering for a second he points at Momoe.
"If she’s salty, wouldn’t that make her thirstier because uh… Salt dehydrates you… Right?"
They laughed again, honestly it was getting to the point where they never seemed to stop laughing, bringing their hands up to clutch their stomach. They laughed so hard their legs lost grip on the branch, and they fell to the ground landing on their back seemingly unhurt, as the laughter continued unabated. Suddenly they sat up, looking different again for some reason, and still laughing under their speech.
"God, now you don't even understand basic words! Salty, like mad? Duh. And bro, I'm not talkin about that kind of thirst. I mean like, they gayest thirst that you can fucking thirst. Bumpin tongues and uglies."
They dissolved into laughter once more.
Go to the tree, she said. It'll be fun! she said | Masato | Chapter 3 | [Closed for Momoe]
A frown crosses her face, she got no answer to her question and she didn’t get things that were being said. The worst combination for her honestly, thanks Momoe.
"What in the world…"
She mumbles to herself, shaking her head for a moment. At least she didn’t look as mad as she felt, that was something.
If only this was a different situation, she wanted to ask Masato about that second comment of this. But, for now they had this troublesome… Thing. To deal with.
She couldn’t quite connect the dots about Tanukis, this place didn’t seem like the kind of place that would have one. It seemed more western, not that she put any thought towards that honestly, she just didn’t connect it.
Though, she kept mostly quiet, seeming to scowl as they changed faces. Why would they do that… It was rather grotesque in her opinion.
"What are you even trying to do?”
Despite her still standing on the ground away from them both she still managed to speak up, she was so weak. There was no way she could get up there.
Masato was simultaneously annoyed and relieved when Tama announced that they, in fact, locked him in. A strange combination of emotions to be sure, but that at least confirmed one thing… But Masato… There was nothing in the world that could ever have prepared him for the transformation that took place directly in front of him.
He jumped in surprise. Quite literally. Resulting in the complete loss of his balance as his feet failed to land firmly back on the branch and slipped over the side. Luckily, this wasn’t followed by a crash to the ground. He grabbed the branch as he fell, using his momentum to turn it into a swing, landing safely, albeit sloppily, on the ground.
But how did Masato actually react to what he said? To what he just saw happen? After a couple of seconds Masato snorted before letting out a laugh.
"No, no… We didn’t kiss."
He said lightheartedly.
"However we uh, did discover some things we would have otherwise missed thanks to your uh… Prank."
That was what he would call it. He didn’t really feel like this tanuki was evil persay. At least after Jamie’s reveal in the trial he had a new solid definition of the word. Not that that made Tama any more trustworthy.
"Ah- I’m sorry, Furugawa-san… You uh… Probably don’t have any idea what we’re talking about…"
He would make a point to inform her later if she asked.
Their features changed once again, back into their previous shape.
"Got a problem acorn eater? You salty? Don't bitch if you get Tama'd!"
They seemed to be talking to Momoe, as they laughed in her general direction for that sentence before turning back to Masato.
"You didn't? Why not? Are you no homo-ing? You're not fooling anyone bro, you're hella thirsty."
They laughed again, jumping down to the branch Masato had fallen from, hands first, and then falling down to hang from the tree by their legs.
Go to the tree, she said. It'll be fun! she said | Masato | Chapter 3 | [Closed for Momoe]
Well at least it wasn’t something that would seem too stupid admittedly. She couldn’t hope to get anywhere in that tree honestly, she probably could barely pull herself off the ground. She didn’t say anything as he continued with that, pretty set on watching what would happen. His talent was something to do with ninjutsu right? He’d be good at this.
Though, even she was really surprised at the other seemingly appearing out of no where in from of Masato. What in the world…
Of course the moment that the other decided to start laugh she swore she could remember that laugh. Her lips turned to a rather harsh scowl, there the memory was.
"You! So you were the one throwing those acorns!"
Almost definitely she sounded angry, glaring at them as they hung in the tree. She definitely wouldn’t forget the multiple acorns she had been pelted with throughout her investigations. Or attempts at puzzle solving.
She doesn’t say another word though, there wasn’t anything she could think to say at that point. Plus, she was still all the way on the ground, not like she could do anything.
Masato waved his arms around wildly to regain his balance he had suddenly lost as the person materialized in front of him. Seriously! Talk about a way to almost injure someone! Luckily he regained his balance and kept himself from falling out of the tree. Phew.
Hearing that laugh though, and what Momoe immediately shouted at them… This guy! God, Masato had a couple choice words for them. … But no, he was going to hold back those words.
"So you’re the one who dropped those coins on my head…"
His voice was filled with realization. Glad to finally meet you face to mask mr tanuki. Kinda glad.
"Does that mean you’re the one who locked us in down there?”
He seemed shocked because, well… He had always imagined the tanuki as a disembodied voice, and for a while he thought that they had just been in his imagination… For a while being before they dropped the coin on his head. So knowing that the tanuki had a body was…
They laughed again, even harder, and hauled themselves up, bending over the branch to support themselves through the uproarious action.
"Yeeeeep! Sure was! Did you have fun during your alone time with your pretty anime boyfriend? Did you..."
As they spoke, their features seemed to change, shifting like water into features that were vaguely human, but physiologically impossible.
"...kiiiiiissss!?"
Were those fucking bishi sparkles? The tanuki suddenly looked like he had jumped out of a badly-drawn shoujo.
Go to the tree, she said. It'll be fun! she said | Masato | Chapter 3 | [Closed for Momoe]
Momoe rather enjoyed being outside after being cooped up in that castle for so long. It was so dark and humans needed some sunlight didn’t they? It felt rather nice in her opinion.
She made a small note to herself to find something else to change into soon. But, she decided against the thought as of now. Looking around was perhaps a bit more important, and that seemed to be saying a bit.
Considering it was a newer area she was expecting people to be looking around as well, though it was a bit later wasn’t it? She wasn’t keeping the best track of time at the moment. She refrained from making a rather tasteless joke as it came to mind, now that was harsh even for her.
But one thing she didn’t really expect was to come across someone stretching. It had never really seemed like something that someone would do… Though, she actually had quite the idea there weren’t even the right words for her to think about it. There was just a feeling.
At least he noticed her. This would be the second time something like this would happen right?
"Good to see you Shinjin-kun. I’m fine all considering."
She replies simply, raising an eyebrow at what he is still pretty much doing. She’ll give him the fact he’s determined.
"… May I ask what you’re doing?"
She asks as she crosses her arms, honestly nothing was coming to mind for her own ability to try and answer her question. And yes, she did try to do that more often than not.
Masato nodded as he went to stretch his legs, acknowledging her greeting.
"That’s good to hear."
His voice was genuine as he said that before continuing to answer her next question.
"I’m uh… stretching."
Obviously.
"You see, it’s been a couple weeks now since I’ve been able to go outside…"
You and everyone else.
"I thought it would uh, be a good idea to get some exercise and fresh air…"
Turning his back to her he looked back up at the tree. It seemed that his stretches were finished as took a couple steps back, prepping himself for a running start.
"I uhm. I saw this tree and I just… I want to climb it."
And with that, he ran forward, jumping off the ground as he closed into the tree and kicking off of it parkour style as he reached for the first branch and grabbing it with one hand before swinging the other over and pulling himself onto it. From there he made a made a grab for the next branch when…
When someone seemed to materialize in thin air directly in front of his face and started talking.
"What the fuck do ya think YOU'RE doin hot shot? I mean as badASS as that jump was, it's not polite to climb around on people's houses."
The figure was hanging, seemingly effortlessly, from a higher branch with their arms, and started swinging back and forth and cackling hysterically as Masato started from their sudden appearance.
Both Momoe and Masato had definitely heard that laugh before. And that voice. The voice of a certain riddler who enjoyed throwing things a bit too much…
hahahaha
balls
