@maskeradis​ :    For White Day, Adele came up with a grand plan, or so she thought. She decided to visit a certain leech twin, however, not because she wanted to hand him a gift. No. The brunette wanted to play a prank on him. So, instead of walking around with chocolate, she hid behind a bush, armed with a slingshot and a bunch of handmade takoyaki for ammunition. The moment Floyd approached, she jumped out of her hiding spot. With her slingshot in hand, she aimed at his head, before shooting the food at him. Adele made sure to make the takoyaki extra spicy  —  just in case the other decided to catch it with his mouth. “Hah! Take this!” // addie @ floyd sorry not sorry :)

predictably or not so predictably, floyd’s prepared when adele begins to pelt pieces of takoyaki in his direction. the little teppō̄o may have thought she was being sneaky but he could smell his favorite treat long before he was even in her general vicinity. he’d be able to smell it even if they were miles away. silly fishy, don’t you know eels use their acute sense of smell to hunt? you can run but you can’t hide. even then he doubts many could outrun him for long.

as each piece of delicious takoyaki is hurled toward him, floyd manages to catch each one in his open mouth. as the eel keeps his mouth open wide, his second jaw & set of teeth peek through, giving an underlying feeling of danger as he reveals his bares his threatening maw in her direction. 

when he’s finished catching them all, floyd pauses, looking briefly pensive as he mulls over the taste of the treats he’s been given. there’s something different about this batch of takoyaki. teppō̄o-chan really likes her spices it seems. it doesn’t really bother him though. floyd can handle a little kick like this & then some. the added flavor is even welcome really. the eel flashes a satisfied smile in adele’s direction, letting out one of his signature cackles.  ❛    ehehehehe ~ thanks for the snack, teppō̄o-chan. but what gives? did’ja think this would stop me from takin’ a bite outta ya?    ❜

@maskeradis​ said: ❝I didn’t know you had a little brother.❞

     She was perplexed — and even that was an understatement. She froze in place, not moving even a little as she cut her sentence off abruptly. For a while she hasn’t said a single thing, nor moved from her original position being consumed by the many thoughts that were crossing her mind. Did... did she really said that? Maybe she misheard her? There is no way she could have slipped up so easily, right? She is great at keeping secrets, so the possibility of her simply mentioning it by accident just seemed surreal. Yet, it seemed to have happened. 

     Her shoulders slumped all of a sudden, and her head hung low. She felt ashamed that she was stupid enough to make such a mistake. What was wrong with her? She was the very same person who would scam fairly acquire money out of people in such a calculated way. Yet, here she was blurting it out like an absolute moron. She sighed loudly, her hand rubbing her forehead slightly. Then, she turned to her friend with an expression of defeat and opened her mouth to speak. “I guess the secret is out... yes I do have a younger brother. He is part of the NRC and he is that dumb happy-go-lucky guy from Octavinelle. Can you believe it? He is hanging out with these fishsticks... unheard of.” she sighed. “Don’t tell anyone though or I will personally hide your body where nobody will be able to find it.”

@maskeradis​ said: "it  will  not  be  easy  keeping  something  like  this  a  secret  for  long."

     A sigh escaped her lips, as she put aside the task of cleaning the space around her for now in favor of properly answering her friend. She knew exactly what she was talking about, as it was a little secret the two shared together. A business of sort if one can call it that. After all, it did seem more of a scam than an actual fair business. Not that Lorelei cared, and it seemed like her friend Adele didn’t either. A coin was a coin, one should not be picky about it. Then again, if someone was to find out it wouldn’t end well, right? She knows for sure she’d most likely get a lecture, maybe even beating from her infamous dorm leader. 

     “Oh I am aware.” she spoke calmly, while smoothing out her uniform. “However, I believe that we are better than this to let something like this slip out near... certain individuals.” with this she turned to properly look at her friend, while situating herself on a chair. “Unless you mean more or so our little trips to the NRC? I think we are pretty good at sneaking out as of now. Also, in my humble opinion, we are excellent at getting these idiots to give us money while being pretty hush-hush about it.” she paused for a moment. “Is there something you are worried about in particular that prompted this response?”

@maskeradis​ said: ❛ don’t  tell  me  to  be  calm! ❜ // addie throwing a tantrum? @ any sibling

     Lorelei shook her head slightly at her friend’s antics, before letting out a sigh. Adele wasn’t usually the type of person to be throwing a temper tantrum as such, but yet here she was. She seemed to be quite irritated about the matter at hand, which was evident by the tone of her voice. She tried reasoning with her, but it seems like “calm down” was the wrong way to go about this. What a drag. 

     “Are you seriously getting worked up over some guy?” she questioned and then swirled the stick of a lollipop she acquired ( stole ) earlier. She wasn’t the one to talk. After all, she had her moments of weakness too. Maybe Adele should remind her of all the times she got annoyed with Azul. Perhaps that will shut her up for once. “To hell with him! He is not worth your energy, so calm down or else.” and with that she proceeded to bite down on the sweet snack, crushing it with her sharp set of teeth. “Ah geez, bad idea. It got all over my teeth... but you got the jist of it, so that’s all it counts. My point still stands though not worth it.”

@maskeradis​ said: ∗ 12﹕ sender  invites  receiver  to  dance . /w roy & lorelei :)

     No matter how many times she has given him the cold shoulder, he bounced back with even more determination to get to know her than ever before. While she could tolerate his presence, as he was close to her best friend, she still had no intentions of befriending him. She hated guys, and she most definitely disliked guys like him. There was always something off about that smile of his, and his whole demeanor even though many loved him. She cringed at the mere thought of his little fangirls and other admirers. Ugh, so annoying — is what she always thought to herself before moving on. Thus, it was expected of her to be acting rather disinterested, at times annoyed around him. Yet, he didn’t seem to be bothered by it, which was another thing she found strange about him. 

     As she walked, she remembered the conversation the two had. It was one of the rare occasions when she allowed him to talk freely to her. While she wasn’t much of a talker ( he did most of it for her anyway ) she recalled a moment during which she talked extensively. He asked her about her hobbies, and she was quick to answer that she found herself drawn to dancing, waltz especially. She gushed about the beautiful music, and the movements required for the dance. Shortly after she finished her little rant by saying that it’s been a while since she danced, Roy asked her to meet up with him another day. Usually she’d refuse of course, finding no benefit in meeting up with others for recreational purposes. However, her mood was particularly good on that day so she agreed without giving it a second thought. 

     A sigh left her lips as she wondered what the meeting was about exactly. He hadn’t given her much to work with, and so her head couldn’t help but come up with possible explanations. Perhaps he needed help with homework? Maybe it had to do with Adele? Were the two of them having some issues he needed advice on? It really was a huge mystery, which she would soon uncover. She stood in front of the doors that lead to the designated spot they agreed on, her hand reaching out for the handle hesitantly. Straightening her posture and taking a deep breath in, she walked inside. Once he realized that she was in the room, he outstretched his arm towards her and graced her with a single question. Shall we dance? Although it wasn’t a proper explanation, at last she knew what he wanted to do from the beginning. 

     She was hesitant. She wasn’t sure if she should take his hand and thus agree to his offer. Although she was knowledgeable on dancing, she wasn’t used to dancing with others. Even back in the day when she practiced with her brother, it felt awkward and she didn’t danced her best. Her violet eyes looked up at him briefly, before looking off to the side for a moment. “Very well...” she began still unsure about the whole ordeal. While she wanted to dance so terribly bad lately, she still felt nervous thinking about actually going through with it. Thus, she inhaled deeply and exhaled loudly in hopes of calming down her nerves. “I’ll dance with you...” she started again, taking a step closer to him. “but under one condition.” she turned her head to look at him properly. 

     “If you wish to dance with me, you got to keep up with me.” she said taking his hand into hers gently, while the corners of her mouth raised to form a soft smile on her face. “So, don’t screw it up, okay?”

@maskeradis​ said: ❝ Your hair looks just like starlight. ❞ / roy tormenting lorelei as promised

     Lorelei wasn’t the type of person to get embarrassed by compliments, since she was an arrogant little thing who believed in her sense of worth, at times by too much. She was especially not the type to be caught off guard by men, knowing that most of their words weren’t genuine, and simply thrown around with ease at any person within the 5 mile radius. Thus, usually when complimented she’d simply agree and go on and on how amazing she is. Alternatively, she would dismiss said compliment with disgust or simply disregard it. However, this time it was different and she found herself quickly reddening at his words. How shameful! 

     First, it hit her face with an evident shade of pink on her cheeks. Then her head turned towards his direction, at what seemed to be thousand miles per hour. Her mouth was agape as she stared straight at him, expecting an explanation as to why in the HELL he would say something so... random. Now that she looked at him, it seemed as though he had no idea what he just uttered. Could it be that he spoke without thinking? Would that mean that this compliment was... genuine? No! Get a grip girl! Her mind immediately answered her questions, and so she turned her head away from him before he realized just how red she was. 

     She struggled forming her words. She wasn’t sure what she should say, or if she should be saying anything at all. Others would be overjoyed that the prince charming himself here would go as far as to compliment them and would immediately answer with words of gratitude  — not her though. She was contemplating whether or not she should kick his shins, or tell him to eat dirt. Ultimately she simply coughed, rather loudly, before speaking up. “D... d-don’t you have better things to do than stating the obvious? Like, I don’t know... rehearsals or something? Just don’t say more stupid things or I’ll throw up.”
