Scarlet Weather Rapture

Young Mistress of Bhavagra Tenshi Hinanawi District Zeta Citizen

[scarletperception]

     The Celestial, while initially excited for the chance to stretch her fingers and cause some mischief with her powers fully returned to her... had a pit in her stomach growing in response to the sights that she viewed from up above the city. Violent clashes, blood, and mayhem-- this was... this was too much.

     Even for her. ... But, it’s not as though she could just sit around, either. From her seat in the heavens, the Celestial pinpointed select spots where these invaders were gathering and shook the earth.

     They were trained, but were they trained for earthquakes, mudslides, and so on? ... No, of course not. But, this wasn’t fun. This wasn’t a game.

     People were really dying. She was really killing people.

“...”

     It was a necessity, wasn’t it? She was saving people as well. But... this didn’t feel right. ... How funny it was. She, the one that didn’t often think about the effect of her actions on others, was certainly thinking about it now.

     She could see the results, after all. And they weren’t pretty.

     ... An aurora formed in the sky surrounding her as silently, the Celestial began to seize scarlet energy from the hearts of the citizens of both cities-- to gather more power. ... But, it didn’t feel good. This didn’t feel good at all.

“You’re flimsy. There’s nothing wrong with a taco. I’ll give you props for being smart enough to put that wrapper on your lap in the first place–”

“But you shouldn’t need the thing in the first place. …Gah, one second, let me–”       Saying that, Eren strode off not too far away, to a nearby food stand, and quickly paid for two tacos–of a bit more special variety. What with his uniform getup and all, he almost didn’t have to, but he still paid the cook what he deserved.       Anyway, tacos in hand, he jogged back to the girl, determined to show her that tacos weren’t intrinsically difficult to consume. The difficult lay within the eater, not the food. “Okay, now look, watch carefully now, because I’m not gonna be spending any more cash than I need to–”       Eren unwrapped the thing quickly, stuffing the paper wrapping in his pocket for later disposal, and stuck the conglomeration of shell, meat, and vegetables in between his hands. After gesturing towards the way his hand was positioned on the thing, he glanced at her quickly one last time, before eating it properly. …He probably did it too fast, though, as he had some difficulty swallowing. “S-See? Nothing wrong with–” Cough. “A…taco…”       And then, with a motion, he lightly tossed the spare one he’d bought at her. “Now, you try.”

[scarletperception]

     With her glare moving from the taco to the boy that had just decided to waltz off for whatever reason, Tenshi quietly grumbled-- lifting the wrapper to eat a bit of the meat that had fallen onto it. By the time the other returned, she had finished what was left.

     Squinting at the other slightly with a frown, raising an eyebrow at the other’s desire to show her how to eat, Tenshi simply crossed her arms and frowned.

     ... Only to snicker at the other as he choked a bit.

“Good thing you aren’t teaching me how fast I should eat. I-- ah--”

     Cutting herself off, she caught the extra taco-- eyeing it.

“... Well then, seeing as you actually bought me another of these things...”

     Grumbling a tad once more, she unwrapped the paper-- taking hold of the new taco. Mimicking the other’s actions from before (while making sure not to devour the thing like Eren had), Tenshi... managed to actually get it right. And she doesn’t speak again until after she finishes the whole thing. ... Quietly, Tenshi scoffs, turning to face the boy with a small sneer.

“I could have done that on my own. But, thanks for choking for my sake.”

[anerointheknee]

     Like a car screeching to a halt Nero’s movements paralyze, expression suspended over the edge of snapping. The way this girl kept interrupting her performance was getting quite aggravating.

     Sharp eyes turn to the stranger, narrowed as she ponders over the other’s words.

     And then, unexpectedly, a smile shows up.

     “…I see.”

     “Though annoying, I am not a stranger to this type of passive-aggressive affection through a thorny, insecure tongue. Perhaps the area has cleared, for reasons unaccredited to my song, but here you still stay vying for my attention. An audience of one is still an audience who deserves a show, indeed! Come, feel free to bask in my glory!”

     Twirling a step away to pose, Saber starts to sing again. “Who do you love ever so much? SABER!”

[scarletperception]

“...”

     Damn it, the other had a small point in her idiocy. That being said, someone like this just bothered the girl more than anything.

“Hmph. A show, huh? Right, right... but, I can think of something more entertaining than listening to your attempts at making me deaf. Hold still.”

     Whether or not the other was listening-- Tenshi firmly doubted she was-- she took a glance the other’s feet, before she stomped on the ground. In response, a keystone popped up from one of Saber’s feet, and instantly jutted upwards to knock her off balance, or on the ground.

“Hah, like that! That’s much more entertaining.”

“Now if I could only get your ego to take a stumble as well...”

[admiralble]

“And you take pleasure in stepping on bananas? I suppose I guess if that’s what you enjoy doing.”

“I would like you to replace my banana though.”

[scarletperception]

“I don’t like stepping on bananas! And I’m not replacing your food, either.”

“If you can be so leisurely in regards to where you keep your food, you can also understand that anything could happen if you leave it in a place like this. Like someone stepping on it. So, it’s not really my problem. Sorry.”

[bewitchedblade-archive-deactiva]

“Well, I suppose self-love is important.”

“I don’t attack you and you don’t attack me, even if something drastic is happening. We put aside our differences and form a temporary alliance, if you will. Do you understand? If so, I’ll be on my way.”

[scarletperception]

“... Alright, fine. I can agree to something like that, then.”

     For now. Anyways, even if she did want to pick a fight... she had many more targets within this huge place. Picking on the maid would get boring.

“Oh, you’re leaving already? ... I mean, yeah, I understand. Bye, then. Have fun, uh... cleaning, or whatever it is you maids do for fun. See you.”

     Turning, Tenshi felt that this confrontation ended on an anticlimactic note. ... Were truces supposed to be this way? Sheesh, that was kind of dull...

[erenyega]

“…Is it really not that obvious? Look, kid–”

“You’re supposed to take that, hold it from the bottom, and eat off the top. Moving down. Make it quick, too, otherwise it’ll fall out. …Unless you want to, I dunno, try eating it with a fork or something.”

[scarletperception]

“First of all, I’m not a kid. Second of all... if that’s the case, I’d rather chop it up and eat it like sushi. But... uh, let me try this...”

     Fidgeting with said taco, Tenshi miraculously... manages to spill broken pieces on to the wrapper she had been smart enough to place on her lap.

“Ugh, it’s way too flimsy!”

“It tastes good, but clearly whoever invented this thing only thought about the taste and not the composition. How terrible... yet also tasty I guess...”

[scarletperception]

“People are talking about a school... I wonder what schools are like?”

“I’ve only ever been given lectures at home, even when I was a human... learning things in rooms with other people sound kind of fun. Makes it easy to distract yourself from the lesson, anyways...”

[anerointheknee]

     “Hah–!?”

     Whipping around with fierce confusion in her eyes she stares at the blue-haired girl who had been so bold as to attack her like that.

     “Pray tell this is just ignorance that clogs your throat, girl!”

     “Did you not listen to my song? Saber is the best and most prominant, I will say it again –” Huffing and inhaling, she begins to clap again.

     “EVERYONE LOVE, LOVE, LOVES ME BECAUSE I AM… SABER!”

[scarletperception]

“What song? Is that obnoxious rant of yours a song? Please.”

     She couldn’t help but let out a small laugh at the other.

“Who are you talking about, anyways? Didn’t you notice you were scaring people away from you by shouting all this nonsense? You’re messed up.”

“... Did you hear me? Or is your ego so loud you can only hear yourself?”

[scarletperception]

“... I don’t get it.”

“How are you supposed to eat these ‘tacos’? It looks like they’re gonna spill the moment I bite in to them... why would people make something like this is it spills when you bite in to it? That’s so stupid!”

[lightningrodkid]

And there it was. He knew it, he knew it, he knew it–he really needed to get better at this whole ‘not getting caught’ thing. He swallowed; jeez, people had a way of finding him at inopportune times. Had she been watching him the whole time? That’d be just peachy, wouldn’t it?

Who even was it? Some lady he didn’t recognize… He wasn’t even gonna ask about the rock.

“Ahaha… I suppose there’s no point in denying it,” Lucas admitted. “What tipped you off?” He crossed his arms, frowning. Even if he’d been caught, he wasn’t particularly inclined to sit here and listen to yet another person’s spiel about property damage.

“Moreover–what’s it to you, anyway? It’s not like there aren’t a million other ways past here, anyhow. If you’re here to lecture me, you oughta know I’ve heard it all fifty times already.”

[scarletperception]

     At his response, Tenshi snorted.

“Oh, really? Good thing I wasn’t planning on lecturing you, then.”

     With her smirk widening a bit, she continued.

“I was flying up above and I just so happened to see you, so I decided to see what all the commotion was is all. I’m a little disappointed, though. That’s all?”

“Come on, you can do much worse than this. You said it yourself, there’s a million other ways past here, right? So I’m sure it’ll be fine if you... I dunno...”

     Glancing at the keystone hovering by her, Tenshi narrowed her eyes-- and thusly, the chunk of black granite smashed into the controls, completely smashing them. That bridge wasn’t going to move itself any time soon. ... Idly, the rock moved away from it’s target, moving back to Tenshi’s side once more.

“Did something like that! That way, it’s REALLY stuck! You gotta think bigger.”

[lightningrodkid]

Company was the last thing Lucas expected on his ventures, though he couldn’t necessarily say it was unwelcome.

He was sort of dancing with the newly-declared militia in Sector oo6–tonight, he teetered on the border of oo5 and oo6. More specifically, a bridge between the two, one that functioned rather curiously in his eyes. It served as a passage over a waterway leading out to the bay outside oo5, with a mechanism that split it in half, lifting the sides in order to allow ships to pass to and fro.

Ships weren’t terribly common, so the bridge almost always stayed in the ‘down’ position; so, he thought, it’d be cheeky to get it stuck, wouldn’t it?

Nighttime, and nobody was really around–he managed to find the control panel, but couldn’t really make heads nor tails of it. The key had been left in, but all he was doing so far was mindlessly pushing buttons. At least one of these had to do it, right?

Eventually, he hit the right combination of switches and levers–with a mighty groan, the bridge began to grind itself apart. Lucas looked around, suddenly struck paranoid–the noise was awfully loud, sure to grab at least someone’s attention.

Still, he couldn’t help but look at his handiwork–and he wasn’t disappointed. Somehow, he’d managed to put the thing in reverse; the bridge’s halves had separated and sunk into the water, thereby rendering the passage unusable via both water and land.

He had to let out a triumphant little laugh at this, though he stifled himself when he heard approaching footsteps. Great… there was no telling how much of this they’d seen.

[scarletperception]

     People were so interesting.

     The Celestial was always entertained by them. She envied them, really. Life in heaven was a paradise-- but a paradise for who? Every day in Heaven was but singing and merriment. It was boring. So, so boring.

     That’s why Tenshi wasn’t quite so unhappy to find herself in this place again, trapped among the various humans. Sure, she wished she had her abilities back... but, she supposed it just made things a bit more interesting.

     Speaking of interesting... hovering up in the air, seated on one of her keystones, she couldn’t have helped but heard some sort of strange commotion going on with the bridge beneath her. That definitely didn’t seem practical. Was it normal? ... She didn’t quite think it was.

     Was it a prank, of sorts? Squinting downwards, she couldn’t help but notice someone moving around in the night... and as such, she descended-- eventually finding herself back on the ground with the large rock she had been sitting on hovering besides her. And as she walked to find out just who was causing trouble... it turned out to be just some kid. Probably around her age, had she still been a human.

“Someone sounds proud of their handiwork.”

     Smirking at Lucas, Tenshi stares at him-- looking him over.

“I take it you’re not the bridge operator?”

[scarletperception]

“What’s so exciting about peace all the time?”

“Chaos is natural, isn’t it? If there’s nothing happening, then someone ought to make some excitement and rock the world, right? What’s wrong with that?”

[paladout-blog-deactivated201704]

   “I’m not fishin’ for ‘nything, I don’t even gotta rod.. an’ we’re not near ‘ny water!”

  “But thanks for callin’ me bold earlier ‘nyhow, ma’am. Even if ya kinda ruined it by calling me pathetic afterwards…”

[scarletperception]

“Oh, you’re welcome. Besides-- you should honor honesty.”

“Learning of one’s faults helps one grow, after all!”

[scarletperception]

how do I GRAZE

     You’d best ask one of the Touhous from a puny shooter, and not from a HARDCORE FIGHTER like me, Tenshi Hinanawi, clearly the best Touhou–

“No, I just like compliments, ma'am! I don’t see who doesn’t.”

“Oh, that’s true. People thrive off of the attention of others, after all.”

“’Life is simple, but we insist on making it complicated’. Compliments are nice, but fishing for compliments from anyone you see is pitiful, isn’t it? Heh heh.”

“Asking a stranger for a compliment when they don’t know you? Then I guess you’re bold, aren’t you? Or, maybe you just weren’t thinking.”
