[EVENT POST]

*It's a bit after 9:30 at night. Suguru's in Domino, walking towards the station for the monorail back to the school.

Their general mood is looking angry at themselves and glaring at the ground, or just staring up into the sky and looking fairly beat-- meaning not really paying attention either way. Such moods are dependent on who inevitably bumps into them.

Have at them.*

"...Hey Suguru." *someone's standing in the dark, near the station. Whoever they are, they're smoking a cigarette, that's giving off blue embers.*

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*...damnit I don't need to be bothered after all of this. Damnit damnit damniiiit. She halts her stroll near immediately, and stares into said darkness. She's obviously tense, if... Said defensive stance seems strained.*

... What do you want?

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

*he knocks a few ashes from the cigarette and laughs*

"Y'know, be 'round ya. Ya coulda jus' blown work off fer me."

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*There's a minor look a conflict, before it settles right onto rage.*

What, blow off my job the day after I manage to get it!? You really must think highly of yourself, you jerk.

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

"Like I said, I thought we 'ad somethin' special, Suguru. Though I can see ya needin' the job... I ain't gonna fault ya fer it."

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

... We don't have anything "special", and you know that.

*She hmphs, crossing her arms, and forcing herself to take a step forward towards the station itself.*

... Besides, I'd be mad if you didn't know why I'd need one. You're the reason why I decided to get a job this fast...

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

"What's yer 'scuse this time? Ya've 'ad plenty of time ta think straight. ...What'd ya say if I offered ta pay ya back fer the dress, an' the trouble?"

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*... ergh, take another step legs. Longer I have to listen to him, less chance I'll be able to make it back to the island...*

... H... He's already tried to offer to pay back for that dress. And I told him no. I don't want to be "paid back" for something I did, so you wouldn't go and end up stealing it.

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

*he crushes the cigarette in his hand and tosses it aside*

"Ah, but a gentleman shoulda paid fer it. Didn't 'ave cash the first time, but I do now."

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*... she makes a very short laugh.*

Psh, a "gentleman"? I don't see any gentleman here. Just some jerk who's going and talking to me from the shadows.

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

*Bossman steps out from the shadows, smiling.*

"Better, Suguru? I don't need ya ta look down on me, 'aight?"

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*... damnit don't smile. She looks away from him, obviously wanting to act like she's fed up.*

Why be bugged if I go and do that? Ain't like it makes much of a difference.

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

"It makes a difference to ME. I don't want ta be a jerk all the time, y'know. An' ya make me feel like I don't hafta be one. It's like how I make ya feel like ya need ta be angry with me, instead of jus' grabbin' onta me."

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

... W... What makes you think I'd want to "grab onto you", anyway!?

*... Other than the stutter and the fact that she's even talking to you or the fact that she hasn't been able to make her legs move since that first step, of course.*

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

"It's what ya wanted ta do last time we met, Suguru. I mean, why would it change? Ya can talk like ya don't wanna talk ta me when I ain't 'ere, but yer stutterin' 'ere."

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*she grits her teeth, clenching her fists. Stop stuttering, you're just going to go and make things worse for yourself.*

... I said before that "things change". I ain't the sort who'd go and just... Just go and do something like that. No matter how nice you might go and "act", or how many times you might go and decide to say my damn name.

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

"Ah, but it's gettin' ta ya. Things change, so ya might become the sort of person ta do somethin' like that. 'specially if it's me."

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*she turns just a bit red-- either from anger, embarrassment, or a mixture of the two. She starts walking again.*

E-Even if it's "getting to me", I'm pretty damn sure I could just ignore it until he's actually out again. If I wanna get something like that out, then I could just do it to him instead!

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

*He laughs.*

"Right, right. But 'e ain't me, an' he'll never BE me. 'e ain't gonna do somethin' like that."

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*... stops walking again, taking a deep breath.*

... H... He doesn't need to. I'm perfectly capable of just deciding to do something like that, myself... I think.

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

"Really Suguru? Then what 'bout me? Ya can decide somethin' when it comes ta me, can't ya?"

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

... I've already made my decision about that. Just... *Shakes her head, trying to clear it out.*

Why are you doing this. Is this part of that whole "seducing me" nonsense that you went and mentioned? What, were you even waiting to see if I'd come by here?

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but now ya seem ta want ta go back on that decision."

*he scoffs*

"I don't need a reason, y'know? I do what I want, I wait where I want, an' I'll burn what I what. I may 'ave been waitin' fer ya, or I may be waitin' fer tits. ...I think ya'd like 'er. She could be what ya wanna be."

[remarkablerain.livejournal.com]

*... "What ya wanna be" probably hit just a bit too close to home than even she actually realizes, seeing as she's finally sent a wind blast at you.*

Given that name you're going and using for them, I could probably take a good guess at what their damn defining trait is. What the hell makes you think I'd wanna be anything like that?! You just give me more and more reason to keep to my decision, with stuff like that!

[magmaheart.livejournal.com]

*He laughs and manages to keep his footing.*

"Yeah, yeah. I meant in the fact that I gave 'er a kiss a few hours ago. Or ya wanna follow me 'round, askin' fer orders, an' cryin' when I ain't 'round. Maybe she's got the figure ya've always wanted. Hell, I dunno."
