Who: Everyone
When: Day 45, early afternoon
Where: Everywhere

[ You've had your time to exchange candy and spooky stories, and the game has come to an end! Everyone who took part received a bag of candy to take to their train, as a bonus reward for the entertainment. Shortly before the game setting can fade away, Finn's going to declare the winners:

Thyme, Senna, Jasmine, and Clover ]

Aaand that's a wrap. With any luck, you guys had some actual fun. Don't forget to brush your teeth and, huh ... enjoy the candy?

Imagine that. A whole troop of marines, defeated by squats, butts on the ground and bemoaning the day evolution gave them glutes.

Then they have to do two hundred push ups.

[Chuckles.] Superior officers are relentless like that.

[ Huffs a laugh. ]

It sounds like a fun job.

Depends entirely on how much sass trainees can muster. It can be pretty frustrating.

Or maybe that's just Tucker.

There's always gonna be one. Heck, Kaito'd be a nightmare ... [ Mumble ... ]

So would I, probably ...

He does seem like he'd complain the whole way even if he's athletic.

I think it'd depend on the teacher. You're pretty attentive, so just depends if the teacher is an asshole.

[ Nod, nod! ]

He's grumpy and childish. [ Nod!! ] Childish being the keyword ... he seems like the kind of guy who does whatever he wants.

[ ... There's a whole lot more to him that, of course. She knows that intimately well after that memory. ]

Maybe depends on whether Kaito's in the vicinity, too ...

He does have that air about him.

You two would probably be bickering the whole way. Who'd ever train you both at once would have to have the patient's of a saint.

Or he'd flip my skirt like a jerk and I'd have to kill him there and then.

[ she says, so casually, like she didn't just remember being so protective and angry that she tried to shank a mimic for hurting him ]

As you should. He really should stop doing that. [Harass your girlfriend in a less legally dubious way, Kaito.]

[ not dating!!! ]

Thank you for understanding. You're a good friend, Dusk.

[SURE SURE]

Also a lot more mature.

Most of the time.

Who, me? I'm very mature all of the time.

[ no she isn't ]

Well, I meant me, but we also know that's a lie.

Not there's anything wrong with a little immaturity at times.

[ solemnly offers a fist for a FISTBUMP ]

Hear. hear.

[FISTBUMP GO.]

[Offers her a smile, but then it's a look of concern.]

That was really rough.

[ Ah ... ]

That's a word for it, I guess.

Yeah.

Want to talk about it?

... Honestly?

I don't know how I feel well enough to talk about it. It's just ... a lot? It's a lot.

It's a lot.

You don't need to talk about it if you don't want to.

Just promise me you won't let it fester?

Ah, yeah. I promise.

[ Smiles at him, rubbing the back of her neck. ]

It's really not that I don't want to, you know?

I can get that. Just hard to find the words, where to even start, right?

Yeah.

[ He Gets Her. ]

Even if it's - I mean, it's not like I wasn't expecting stuff like this. [ ... ] Except the magic pendants, I definitely wasn't expecting that.

That was a surprise. Does explain why I kept a kind of fancy piece of jewelry. Not exactly my first choice for friendship accessory, I was just thinking you sprung it on me as a surprise.

And it looked like you had...two? Three spells? Did you make Kaito faster?

I'm not that big on jewelry myself - it's cool and pretty, but it's more a special occasion thing for me.

[ Reaches up to fidget with the pendant. ]

There's more than three. Shield, Heal, Time, Space, Paralysis, and MP Drain - that last one drains other people's magic. Making Kaito faster was part of the "Time" spell ...
