A ⦿ Soaking in Your Arrival
    KERPLUNK, SPLASH!

    Regardless of what you were in the middle of, you and your familiar have been magically pulled into the world of Avalon just above the Bay's waters. After a brief plunge into the Bay, the rush of water filling your ears and soaking up into every creak and crevice of your body, you may need to cough to clear your airways when you rise above the surface. You'll definitely see other new arrivals plopping in. If you can't swim, a red-headed woman known only as the Lady of the Lake will drag you to the shore if she doesn't spot someone else near you helping so no one ends up drowning. She's a little busy casting directive magic to make sure everyone lands safely and playing lifeguard, so if anyone attempts to talk to her, she'll tell them to head up to the Rent-a-Ride. The shores themselves are littered with new arrivals complaining their way up a staircase carved into the walls of the White Cliffs. There is no railing, so be careful, but if you do fall, be prepared for a mysterious sand hand to reach out of the side of the cliffs to catch you. The hand will pat you atop the head twice before retreating back into the wall. This is the Cliff Beast; despite the name, he is quite friendly.


B ⦿ The Caravan to Camelot
    Once everyone is wrangled up to the top of the White Cliffs, the handsome owner of the Rent-a-Ride, Archimedes, will distribute smart phones and a pair of earbuds to everyone before getting them settled in groups into modernized carriages pulled by horses and give them a basic explanation of why and how they've been brought to Avalon: The universe is frozen in time and your character has been brought here by a familiar that was able to bond with them. They'll have to learn magic to help save their own world from destruction, but first they've got to get them to Camelot. It is here that you have the first opportunity to decide who they will be in their new home. You'll have about an hour to wander around here, meet and greet, and pet the horses before it's time to go.

    These carriages use fae technology that combats weight, so your character will be able to get in regardless of whether they're light as a feather or weigh two tons. The carts have air conditioning when it's hot, heating when it's cold, and a mystical shield to protect from bugs. There is also a mini-bar that pops out of the console with nip bottles. Characters can use their smartphones to connect to Camelot's internet service, [community profile] avalononline (AOL), to chat with other characters, watch dumb videos, learn about the world, contact Camelot Support (they'll answer any questions they can for you, from how to use a smart phone to where to find quests and resources to learn more about your magic). Be careful if you decide to use your phones while in the caravan-- if you don't use those earbuds and start forcing everyone to listen to your nonsense, Archimedes may make you walk.


C ⦿ The Red Spring
    The journey from the White Cliffs to the City of Camelot is a long one, and the first evening you arrive you'll end up spending at the Red Spring, a booming resort town. Because of the volume of new arrivals and vacationers, inn rooms are assigned two-to-a-room. The rooms have two twin beds, a bathroom, a mini-fridge and microwave, and a TV equipped with a couple of entertaining video games and a few free movies.

    If you don't want to relax in the room, try taking a dip in the spring for another chance to meet your fellow travelers. The waters have restorative properties that help horses and travelers recover quickly when drunk. It is known to relieve stress, improve energy levels, and mildly accelerate healing.

    The springs are also home to a large training grounds just outside town limits, where there are teachers who will teach basic magic safety and help you discover what kind of magic you have together with other new arrivals. Try target practice, obstacle courses, meditation circles, and other ways to try to figure out just what you can do.. if you didn't already have an accidental discovery on the ride there.



A ⦿ Get Fresh
    Upon arrival in Camelot travelers are ushered to a large set of wash rooms where they can clean up and make themselves presentable for the Welcome Feast. They are informed that once the feast concludes there will be an announcement on where they can seek lodging and how to begin their magic studies.


B ⦿ Be Merry
    After they freshen up, travelers are led into the main dining hall. The decorations range from simplistic to a little more grandiose, it is likely everyone will find something familiar. A modern mash up with a medieval flair. The jester makes his rounds, perhaps he has a joke or two to tell, go ahead, give him a listen or perhaps volunteer to participate in one of the jester's shows, like knife-throwing or hypnotism. Within the crowd of staff there are mummers, a juggler, here and there dabbled through small troupes perform mini skits, perhaps they’ll perform a well known verse from a traveler’s world or tell a tale of fancy from this realm.


C ⦿ Eat Well
    A banquet is prepared with food that while all “rustic” in appearance are usually a version of modern dishes ranging from basic roast chicken and veggies to Korean-Mexican fusion and French patisserie. The drinks are much the same; while served in old fashioned goblets, they are drinks modern travelers will be familiar with.

    Have a seat, meet a new neighbor, find a roommate, maybe a new or old friend? Talk to the person to your left, your right, across from you. Mingle, enjoy the food, the music, it shouldn’t be long before the information promised is provided. Till then take your fill and get to know your fellow travelers.




You've been here a few days now and have gotten a chance to settle in, find a place to stay, and Camelot's citizens have decided that you've been here long enough to start living your life again. Well, your new life.

A group of citizens have decided to give everyone their first quest.

"Hear ye, hear ye!" a man in chain mail with a tablet with his statement typed up on it declares to a crowd from atop a pedestal. There are two other citizens around him with phones to post the video to AOL later to make sure the word gets heard ye all around.

"Those with magic, we beseech thee! Findeth us a grail most holy hidden in the depths of the Brocéliande! This holy grail is known to grant thine wishes three, a most noble quest for noble souls! Great reward will come to those who find it and proclaim at least one of their wishes to find the great Excalibur for King Arthur!"

This is the first you've heard about King Arthur, and it seems curious that he hasn't yet shown his face around town. It also seems strange that this guy is speaking like he's stepped out of a bad period piece, and probably should be the clue that this is more or less an attempt to haze some of the newcomers by sending them into the forest... but no one is telling newcomers this. It's better to get them out there and start praciticing, after all.



A ⦿ Lost, and Lost, and Lost Again
    The Brocéliande is well-known around Camelot for being a forest that's both bountiful and mysterious. Oddities are known to happen that may never happen again to the point that even if something weird happens and you can't prove it, most citizens will assume you're telling the truth.

    Which is what makes it peculiar when you keep passing the exact same locations over and over again, as if you've been traveling in circles or reaching the end of the map in a video game and coming out the other end. You're stuck in a space loop. The only way out is to successfully find the one difference in each loop five times in a row and collect it. Maybe it's a strange frog, a crystal that wasn't there before, a small wooden step that doesn't lead anywhere, or some other singular item, you've got to find what stands out... pick the wrong item, and you'll have to start your five count over again, and again, and again...


B ⦿ Grail, and Grail, and Grail Again!?
    If you either missed the space loop or managed to get out of it, eventually you'll come to find one of... quite a few copies of a grail with holes in the side placed throughout the forest. They look like they might be good for draining noodles, but that's about it. Though they're spread out, it's entirely possible you'll find more than one, but each of them are placed in situations where it's impossible to get to by normal means. You'll have to use magic! It may be hidden in a bird's nest at the top of the tallest tree, inside of a hole in a rock with bars that prevent you from reaching in (perhaps an animal friend could reach it), inside a boiling pond, or inside the body of a bear fir... there are a load of possibilities, and now's a chance for you to try out your brand new magics! Use one of those samples, find something from the bestiary, or come up with your own adventure to get your hands on that less-than-holy grail.


C ⦿ A Quest Completeish
    Or it would be, if you could ever find the guy who announced it... The AOL posts have since been deleted. You may end up spending a lot of time trying to find the guy. At this point, citizens will start telling you that you shouldn't take quests unless they're on the quest board or else you're going to get scammed... that's definitely an olden times themed noodle strainer. If that doesn't make you give up, or perhaps motivates you to find the guy to kick his ass, you'll have to head out to the farmland and chase them through a cornfield. (Be careful not to get lost, it's a maize in there.) If one of the boys are caught, they'll explain they were just testing you-- and hey, you got a free addition to your kitchen! If pressed, they'll apologize and give you a bit of money for your trouble. It's not much, but it'll get you at least a meal.

Hotsprings wild card 8D ahah...

Kise was never studious in his life in things that didn't interest him. It's just how things were. Basketball and few subjects were alright but anything else fell through. So when he arrived here and learned he can actually PROPERLY cast magic, he threw himself at it. His familiar, Vila, told him what he should practice and he was doing that.

In the evening, completely spent, Kise drops in by the baths. They reminded him of onsens back home and Kise was delighted to just soak in it for hours on end. He could hear the door open in front of him, but his view was obscured by his familiar. She's sitting on the edge of the springs, her whispy clothes floating around her, bunching down around her waist, leaving her topless.

Kise inherently knows she's a master illusionist and handles the wind without a problem, so she had received just a frown from him. He figured that since he's alone in here, he doesn't care what she does.

But when the door opens, she is the first thing that Takao sees- hands in her hair as if she's washing it and making a messy bun out of it, very skimpily dressed, flushed from the bath with legs still in the water. Kise's trying to see who came in but she's blocking his field of vision for now.

I love you for this <3

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-08 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Takao is, in fact, a good student, studying does not bother him, and maintains his grades out of a sense of duty to his parents, basketball, and because one day he wants to have a future. Magic, kind of freaks him out so while he is excited, he is also nervous and has not done much practicing. Instead, he spent his time familiarizing himself with their new home.

He has explored around so he is reasonably certain he knows which baths are the men's and right now relaxing in an onsen that does not have enchanted waters and can just remind him of home sounds like heaven.

When he opens the door, he expects someone may be in there. What he does not expect is what appears to be a half-naked woman, tying her hair up into a messy bun. He jumps so harshly that the night sparrow on his shoulder flutters up and away from him in shock.


"Huh?!" He actually stands there for several heartbeats, flush tinting his ears as Takao Kazunari is struck speechless. Once he gets his brain back functioning from seeing the most naked woman he has ever seen in person in his entire life he sputters.

"I..excuse me I thought this was the men's bath!"

Back in Lunatia, Kise had magic as well, to warm things up. But that was the extent of it. This time it was more, well, real. Today he even managed to conjure a shield. It lasted for ten seconds but he still succeeded! It was very cool!

It's also very draining which is why he is on verge of dozing off. The door opening and a very familiar voice, however, snap him out of his daydreaming. Finally, he peers past his familiar, still not paying attention that she's, well, half-naked and his eyes light up when he sees Takao.

"Takaocchi!" He doesn't even know if this is THE Takao he knows but- Takao! It's Takao! He gives him a happy wave with both of his hands. "Come on in!"
The woman, half-turned Takao's way, gives him a gentle, mischevious smile, but makes no move to leave or get dressed or anything. Just shifts ever so slightly to the left to make some space for Takao to get into the pool.
deliveryhawk: (i heard something interesting)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-08 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Takao never did a lot with his magic on Lunatia, maybe zapped someone softly as a joke or charged a phone to see if he could. For the most part, when Iris was not making him weird, he tried to live as normal of a life as possible. Finding Kise and seeing his friend's enthusiasm for their new skills may help him go for it and throw his caution to the wind.

He is stuck in place, staring at that woman, then he hears Kise. Wait, Kise?! He blinks once, head-clearing as he leans around her, and his face lights up just as much.

"Kise!" Wait, why is Kise in a bath with a half-naked woman and acting as if it is no big deal. Oh god, that smile, why did she do that, why is she so comfortable here?!

Oh, no way, he is not getting in that pool near her, nope, excuse him while he slides around to the other side, watching her cautiously till he gets close to Kise. Sliding in, he sidles right up against the other player's side, not in the least bit shy about wrapping a hand around his arm and leaning in to whisper.

"What am I walking into?" Is he interrupting? He has no idea, but of the two people in this bath at the moment, Kise feels the safest to him, so excuse him while he stays right there beside him.

The only magic Kise did was when Midorima demanded to keep the water in the bathtub warm. Or when he kept his own tea warm as he drank it. But that's about it.

Kise waves, standing up a bit in the small pool, waving frantically. He doesn't seem to notice what Vila is doing. To him, she's just sitting there, playing with water. He beams at Takao when he comes to his side, but a bit confused as he clings to him.

"Walking into? What are you talking about?"

Vila gives Kise a raised eyebrow, but what Takao sees is a suggestive chuckle and her crossing her legs. The only cover on her upper body is her hair that she didn't manage to pin into a bun.
deliveryhawk: (whoa whoa whoa)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-11 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
The first one would come as no surprise to Takao what so ever. A certain someone is very spoiled, isn't he? Lucky Kise, Takao is turning seven shades of red and doing his best not to look directly or indirectly at her.

When Kise asks that question Takao sputters and jabs a finger at the familiar. His own choosing that moment to settle on top of his raven-haired head.

"She's half-naked!"

Oh god! What does he do? Well, probably not what he does, which is scoot in closer and hold a little tighter to Kise. Why, because Kise is safe and that familiar is giving him a look that he is not sure what to do with.

"Like that, did you see that?!"
dvine: (11)

[personal profile] dvine 2020-11-11 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Kise is very, very confused. Okay, maybe Takao's embarrassed that a familiar is going to see him naked, sure, but he's not acting as if he's embarrassed because of that.

Especially after he yells that she is the problem, for being half-naked.

"Huh..." He stares at Vila, who stares back. Then raises an eyebrow at him, and it finally clicks and blond runs a hand down his face. But also chuckles because, he can't deny, it IS amusing. A little.

"Don't pay mind to her, she's not naked." He sits back down in the water, dragging Takao with him with a laugh. "She's an illusionist. She's probably pulling a prank on you."

As he says that, the illusion-vila blows Takao a kiss and disappears in gentle wisps of light.
deliveryhawk: (again?)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-13 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Thankfully Kise did not say that out loud because it would add a whole other layer to his current issue. He has not thought of his nakedness so much as the familiar's.

When Kise laughs, Takao stares at him as if he has grown an additional head. What is so funny?

"Huh?!" When Kise pulls him back, Takao offers no resistance, not eager to move away from the blond, while his familiar is being far too familiar for the young man.

Then she blows him a kiss, shooting color straight across his cheeks before she disappears. Once she is gone, he slumps into Kise in relief, huffing out a breath that sends a strand of raven hair bouncing.

"That's ridiculous; she looked like she had no clothes on the top of half of her body; you really couldn't see it?"
dvine: (37)

[personal profile] dvine 2020-11-15 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I said, she was using an illusion on you, she's not naked," Kise says with a little bit of a grin as they settle back in the water. "She's a master illusionist, made it that only you could see her that way. I walked into the wall earlier, she tricked me, showing the doors were there when they weren't." His nose still stings from the impact.

He watches her, a bit unimpressed, when she disappears, and then reappears next to Takao's side. Dressed, this time. But clothes are still sticking to her so she might as well be undressed. She flicks Takao's bangs and then disappears again. But this time she won't be coming back.

Hopefully?

"Sorry you had to see that," Kise laughs sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.
deliveryhawk: (thats kind of embarrassing)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-17 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
"That is so freaky." He grins at the other, finally relaxing. A naked woman was one thing, Kise another, and he is perfectly comfortable with the other "Wait, she made you walk into a door?" He immediately looks over the other's face, not noticing any visible injuries, which is good.

When she suddenly reappears, the relaxed point guard jumps, flings his arms around Kise, and ends up koala clinging to his side versus climbing in his lap. "She's going to give me a heart attack."

"Think she's gone for good this time?" He looks around, not moving away from his friend.

"It's not your fault; I don't think we can control them."
dvine: (11)

[personal profile] dvine 2020-11-18 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"I know right? I still can't get used to it. Apparently, I can do it too, just not yet." Think of all the pranks he could pull. He'll get yelled at, but he's used to it. At least this time they will have a reason for it.

Kise yelps in surprise when Takao jumps at him, reflexively catching him, hands wrapped around him and somewhat falling over in the water. He sputters through a laugh, sitting up a little and not really caring Takao's still in his lap.

"I think so? She comes and goes as she wants. But usually, when I'm with someone else she leaves." After poking fun at them. She laughed at Midorima before, giggled herself right out of the air.

"It just needs some getting used to it. She's not evil." ...he hopes?
deliveryhawk: (hahah how chaotic)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-20 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"If you can do that too, we could have fun with that." He is thinking of precisely that, all the pranks Kise could pull and all the antics he wants to help him pull. They can get yelled at together because Takao is down for this.

Takao doesn't think anything of reaching up and wiping some of the water from Kise's face with a sheepish sort of grin on his face. "Sorry..."

"She's going to get you in trouble." Yeah, he noticed, though he would have gladly taken laughing versus the very flirtatious show he received. Finally realizing how silly he is being, Takao snickers. Truth, he does not entirely realize he is in Kise's lap at the moment, but he's comfortable, so he doesn't move.

"She's pretty enough for you, but she needs a warning label. Did you see the Tanuki, Shin-chan got?" Now that the familiar is gone and he seems to have taken flight for a fair bit, the point guard relaxes and finds some amusement at the entire scenario and at the familiars his friends got.

"What kind of magic did you get? I'm supposed to be able to move stuff, but best I got was a leaf off the ground so far."
dvine: (11)

[personal profile] dvine 2020-11-24 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
"One day, one day!" Kise grins- it seems that they are on the same wavelength when it comes to pranks and teasing. Getting yelled at together is better than being by yourself.

Kise smiles and shakes his head softly, "Nah, you just surprised me. She did too," he nodded at the empty space next to Takao, where Vila once was, "I thought she left." He still can't tell when she's truly gone. Sometimes she still lingers around, invisible, and Kise is none the wiser.

Kise also doesn't pay attention that Takao's in his lap, he just sits there.

"Pretty enough for me?" Kise waggles his eyebrows then bursts into cackles, "I did! It's impressive how it persistently follows him! He had so many figurines of it too, in all sizes!? But- imagine if he had something ominous like a crow or bad omen. He'd never leave the house." To be honest, if Midorima got a lucky cat familiar it would've been good because he'd feel calmer. There's no horoscope here so...

"Me? Uhh, I think it's light magic? Something that makes shields, invisibility and illusions and stuff like that. Pretty useful. And hey- the leaf is a start, next- you'll knock down a tree!"
deliveryhawk: (hahah how chaotic)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-24 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll help you practice." Plus, it means he can practice, and well combining the two powers could only make it more fun. Always better to get yelled at together, plus it gives them someone to laugh about the antics over with, definitely more fun pulling pranks with a friend.

"How do you know when she's gone like gone? Can you feel her?" Takao is cautious with her last exit, also staying close to Kise so right in that lap, it's comfortable; sue him for not noticing or caring.

"Yeah, you know, since you're so good looking makes sense you'd have a sexy familiar too." Or you know, Takao could just round about call Kise sexy, sure why not. The very thought of Midorima getting a bad luck omen for his familiar sends the point guard into that sputtering laugh of his that seems to come from his whole body. "He'd never get out of bed! Even for that guy, it would be too ridiculous."

Though Takao will make sure to keep his own familiar out of sight around Midorima as much as he can, the yosuzume is not ALWAYS an ill omen. Still, it is certainly not a lucky item, and it seems his thoughts are following Kise's "Too bad we couldn't get him a lucky familiar, something stronger than a tanuki."

"Sparkly, it fits." He is teasing, though light magic does seem very Kise to him, and he smiles fondly before the thought of blowing over a tree makes him snicker again. "Yeah, right on top of someone if my luck from Lunatia holds."

dvine: (75)

[personal profile] dvine 2020-11-28 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Hmm, it feels like I can do magic more easily when she's around. But yeah, it feels odd when she leaves. I- can't really explain it, really." It's as if she's amplifying his abilities but once she's gone they deflate a little. Kise, of course, has no idea how to put that into words. He's never used magic before.

Watch it with wiggles, he's naked.

"Pffft haha, well thank you! I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I'll accept the compliment graciously because I TRY my best," Kise grins and gives Takao a wink. Yep, it feels good when you get compliments. His face is flushed from both the bath and praise.

Yeah, the thought of Midorima having a bad-luck/omen familiar would be dangerous. He'd either try to get rid of him or get himself into trouble trying to nullify it. Or just never leave the bed, as Takao said. "Yeah, he says he doesn't like cats, but a lucky cat would've been good." And the guy still has the four-leaf clover necklace Kise gave him so maybe he'll be, uh, chill? For a while?

"Well maybe that someone deserved it, you don't know!" Hey, at least it will look badass. Kise will give him thumbs up while he gets reprimanded.
deliveryhawk: (nyah)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-29 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
"I think I get it, kind of like when the bird disappears, I don't feel the same tingling in my veins like when he's around." If that makes sense, to Takao, it makes sense; it's like static kind of, it goes louder when the night sparrow is there.

Right! Then don't make him laugh.

"That's a lot of words for a simple thank you, Mr. Fancy." He teases, flashing a playful smile and poke of the tongue to that wink.

"I wonder if we can find one, maybe some wizard can magic one up, you think?" Even if he hates cats, something lucky has to be better than nothing. Losing that part of his daily routine and the safety blanket of his lucky items to boot is going to be hard, and Takao is worried about him, a fact that shows when for the moment, he is talking about it his brow furrows with real concern. At this point, he'd sport the rabbit ears and tail if it would help.

"What would someone do to make me need to drop a tree on them?" Though it would look badass, Kise is right. This is why Kise is a good friend, even if that thumbs up would have Takao snickering while he was yelled at.
dvine: (136)

[personal profile] dvine 2020-12-05 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah! There's like, a bit of a difference, I suppose." He'd know more if he'd sit down in a library and studied but Kise and studies just don't go hand in hand. He'd go if someone made him tho...

"I am just stating the truth!" Kise's finger pokes Takao's side and grins back.

"Wait, an item that can magically give luck? Is that even possible?" The thought of that suddenly gives him uneasiness and a hunch that if it's possible, Midorima will try to enchant every single item with luck.

"Um, well, chase you to hurt you? Who knows what types of people are around here. OR on wild animal. Like a boar! Or wolf! Maybe bear!"
deliveryhawk: (oh holy fuck balls)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-12-06 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
"I did not miss school, this place is going to make me study again." He can already tell because there is just too much he does not know here and if he is going to keep him and his friends safe.

"Hey! No fair." He wiggles, Kise's fault for poking his side, he's ticklish okay!

"I bet there is, I mean, there's magic, has to be some way to make some kind of permanent lucky item." Though if they find it, maybe just give Midorima the item before he goes and does exactly what Kise is worried about.

Then he slowly gets wide-eyed, there is definitely a little terror in his eyes. "Okay, new rule, we only go out in pairs, I do not want to become bear food, I'm too cute to die that way."
dvine: (38)

[personal profile] dvine 2020-12-06 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do we have a choice? Can our familiars teach us?" As always, Kise will try to skirt around studying and school if he can. Midorima can probably "bully" him into it, but that's something to think about later.

His fingers stop tickling him, but Kise grins playfully all the same, in the "I can do it again" manner.

"Yeah. He hasn't been all closed off because of the lack of items yet, so hopefully we can come up with something." Or not. Maybe if there's nothing to tell him the list he will think less about it and just acquire popular lucky things?

"No one goes alone anywhere outside of the city. After that jackass put up the fake quest on the board, I'm finding it hard to accept anything that comes by." The boy who called wolf situation and all.
deliveryhawk: (again?)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-12-10 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
"I think they can, but he's going to make us study." Or at least he'll make Takao by studying himself which will encourage the point guard. Not that he is bad at it, but it's more fun studying plays the other team makes than books, but hey it's magic so maybe it will be fun. Either way, he'll be studying or helping Midorima study, so Kise is going to get dragged along by one of the two. Sorry Kise, but they both care about you a lot at least!

Takao side-eyes him, the look is meant to be reprimanding but the twist to his lips and the glint in his eyes makes it all too playful. Do it and he will tickle back, then there will be a tickle war in the spring!

"At least we can work together, everyone else is going to think it's no big deal." It's nice, having Kise who understands Midorima's little quirks and how to help when things get rough for the shooter. They can hope, knowing Midorima, he is going to go overboard somehow, the lack of a horoscope is only going to make it worse.

"Deal, we should let everyone know, I think Kuroko's the one we need to worry about the most, he's a wanderer." He sighs, thinking about that stupid quest and how he got lost in the woods, leaning back in so his head rests on Kise's shoulder, drawing comfort from his friend and the closeness. "You know I got stuck in a time loop, had to have some grumpy guy help me find my way out cause of that stupid quest."

Kise slumps back against the wall of the onsen and sighs. Studying... well, at least this thing will have a practical approach too so it won't be AS boring. Books- he really hates them. He doesn't want to spend hours reading them. Midorima will definitively make him do it. Takao you traitor, you should get him out of it, not enable Midorima!

"Yeah... we need permanent residence. Inn is nice, but it doesn't feel, uh, I dunno how to explain it... safe? Secure? I dunno, it feels as if we're overstaying our welcome there and they'll kick us out soon."

Kise laughs, "Ah yes, Kurokocchi really does like to snoop around and get into trouble." He tried going 1-vs-5 against some bullies. Thank god Kagami and he were there to lend Kurokocchi a hand. "I heard about that time loop thing. Apparently, it was a scam too? A fake request."

It can kind of be like studying basketball, since they will be able to get out and try it on for size, actually practice what they are learning not just take stupid written tests. He will make snacks while they study and give post-study cuddles or shoulder rubs as compensation for his traitorous ways. Because he all too often enables Midorima.

"Yeah, it's not ours so they can just boot us out at any time like if a bunch of newer people comes we could end up on our heads."


"Yup, it sucked I walked in the woods for hours." He sighs, leaning back in comfortably against his friend he turns his head and gives Kise's cheek a kiss with a smile "But it's over now, your familiar stopped freaking me out and we can finally relax."

Except it's not basketball and Kise will complain after sitting still and reading the same page for an hour. Oh well, Takao is used to people complaining- GoM is very spoiled. They grew up, but they are still spoiled.

"We should look for an apartment for rent or a small house when we get the money.

He grins broadly when Takao plants a kiss on his cheek and returns the favor by pressing one to his. "Yeah. Sorry about her. Next time just ignore it. She just likes the shock value," Kise laughs and closes his eyes to relax. Mental note- don't fall asleep, no matter how tempting it is.

He is very used to it and the spoiled way of being that the GoM has; he is more than ready and equipped to handle two of them; Kise need not worry. In the end, he'll end up spoiling in his way, the way he does Midorima.

"That should be the first thing we get; then we don't have to worry about where to stay."

"I've never seen boobs, kind of hard to ignore." But for now, he is just going to smile at that return kiss to his cheek and settle there on Kise's lap. He definitely should not fall asleep, but for now, it's warm, snuggly, and comforting, so he is not moving.

Kise usually only needs attention. Like a puppy in a way. Don't leave him alone for too long.

"Yeah. And after that we can save up to buy our place." But they can handle that down the line.

Kise chuckles, head leaned against Takao's as he rests, "mmm, well, it was an illusion so you didn't really see them. It's like... seeing a picture in adult magazines." If that's any consolation.
