Nonone of Your Business

[niceguypose]

[Continued from here!]

[Sorry Nonon, as usual he can't quite tell what you want. So he keeps on shouting her, now with a confused hope in his words.]

A- a prank? N... Nonon-san. Are...

...Are you saying that I am truly beautiful?!

[And of course as they keep shouting, more of the crowd begins to notice her in addition to Lee.]

why

[shikisha]

What?!

[ She can't even... well yes she can, she can understand why this boy is so dumb. Because he obviously has some genetic link to the underachiever and this is what happens when you sprinkle in boy dna with Mankanshoku blood. Or something like that. She just wishes she could ignore him and walk away, but she can't.

Nor can she ignore all the shouting from the crowd next to her. Which means that the nearest idiot is getting his foot stepped up. ]

Shut the hell up you fur-covered pig! [ Then she lifts her attention back to Lee, pointing at him angrily. ] And you, get the hell down from there and find your clothes!!

because.

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee's eyes lighten up, and his tears transition into tears of joy.]

S-so... it is true. Nonon-san!! You truly do think I am beautiful! [Somehow that's what he got out of her response.] Thank you so much! I will gladly do as you say!

[Then he leaps up off the stage, unaware of the view being offered to many in the process, and he comes to a landing amongst the crowd near Nonon.]

I will seek out my clothes immediately!

they puns they hurt

[shikisha]

[ What is it with her and boys crying around her all the time? It's really getting to be an issue... ]

The only thing I admire about you is your loyalty! [ I couldn't care less what you look like!! Really, obviously her her own predilections swing the other way when it comes to looks. ...Though she will never in a million years talk about his eyebrows versus Satsuki's. ]

And when you find them make sure you teach whoever stole from you a lesson!

it's just a jokezure

[niceguypose]

[She must be a magnet for their tears.

Her words make him smile, and he sniffles as that was what he wanted to hear about instead of his beauty.]

Nonon-san, you value my loyalty so much...! I am so very glad!! And proud!

[And so the world is deprived of such a high-brow conversation...]

Yes, I will be sure to find them and teach them the difference between right and wrong! Do you wish to come with me or to wait here? Either way, I promise that I will not let you down!

TERRIBLE

[shikisha]

[ That's the last thing she wants to be a magnet for really. ]

So long as you follow my orders without question that's what matters.

[ How is... how is anyone friends with someone who talks like this? Her arms cross over her chest, only turning her her a little to actually look at Rock Lee. ]

I've got an important date to keep, so go on without me. But I expect to see you in your proper uniform next time!

[niceguypose]

[Sorry Nonon, maybe one day your babe magnet will reactivate.

Lee nods obediently.]

An important date? I understand. Nonon-san, I will not let you down!! Please, enjoy that date! [Rock Lee salutes her, and then he dashes away dramatically.]

Hajimake it So

[niceguypose]

[Continued from here!]

[He is startled to hear the truth.]

That sounds very unfair! Hajime-san, you should not be a prize to be won... and I refuse to believe that someone as skilled as you could truly lose this game!

[He gives her a thumbs up.]

I will not let you down!

[And finally he turns to face the stallkeeper.]

Let me take your challenge head-on!!

[heartsandcrafts]

Well, I'm more of a crafts-y person than a game-y person!

[But no, she's not that bad at ring toss... at least, human ring toss]

Right, it's three credits for five rings.

[The shopkeep waits for the money before handing over the rings, which seem ordinary enough... as do the poles he's supposed to throw them on. It couldn't be that hard, could it?]

[niceguypose]

[He nods in understanding.]

We all have our strengths and weaknesses, Hajime-san. This is true!

[And then he nods as he presents the credits to the stallkeeper.]

I will do my best! I am ready!! [He seen takes his first ring and throws it right at a pole!]

[heartsandcrafts]

Go for it!

[Hajime watches as he throws the ring towards the pole and it looks like it's about to go right on.... until the pole next to it suddenly reaches over and slaps the ring out of the air, right back at Rock Lee.]

Ah, boo....

[niceguypose]

Ack! [He quickly ducks out of the way of the ring and then looks back at the game sheepishly... but mostly undeterred.]

Ah... That was a very unique challenge! I will try harder this time! [Now he tries throwing his second ring towards one of the other poles!]

[heartsandcrafts]

[This time, the ring makes it onto the pole easily enough... except it catches fire as soon as it does. By the time it makes it down to the base, it's nothing but ashes]

Does that one count...?

[The shopkeeper grumbles, then shrugs] Half a point.

A Pentaghastly Scare

[niceguypose]

[Continued from here!]

I... I...

[He groans and whimpers as he struggles some more, then he finally sighs in defeat.]

...I would appreciate your help, Miss!! I apologize!

[buttonedup]

( She has been here scantly a fortnight and yet here she is, rescuing people from muck again. With a weary sigh, she readies herself for the rescue effort. )

There is no need to apologise. ( She understands the desire to not be dependent on others, at the very least. ) Now, let's get you out of there.

( She takes a step back, assessing the situation. )

I think it may work best if I lift you by the arms.

[niceguypose]

The arms? Yes, that sounds like a reliable place to start! [He then tries to raise his arms enough so that she can grab on!]

[buttonedup]

( Without any further ado, Cassandra grabs the boy by the forearms and PULLS. She is a formidable warrior and has a lot of upper body strength. Let's hope that it's enough. )

[niceguypose]

Gah! [So far, so good?! It looks like she's making some progress. But his feet are still firmly stuck in the goo. And watch out, it's kind of slippery.]

Y-you... you can do it!

Hikari On

[niceguypose]

[Continued from here!]

I am not sure... I cannot choose, Hikari-san!

Is there any ride that you would wish to go on?!

[givesalittlewhistle]

[Somehow, she got the feeling saying whatever ride you want, Lee-san would lead them into an endless loop of indecision.]

Umm...the...bumper cars one sounded fun! And not too scary.

[niceguypose]

[Wisely done, Takari. In a polite-off, there are no winners.]

Bumper cars? Ah, I have heard about such a ride! It sounds very interesting! Ah, let us seek them out!

[givesalittlewhistle]

It's a lot of fun!

The cars are really small, and they're surrounded by a lot of rubber and stuff so that nobody gets hurt. You drive around and try to bump into other people. Kind of like tag.

[She explained as she walked along, looking for signs of the attraction as they passed row after row of...interesting setups.]

[niceguypose]

[He looks enchanted by the concept.]

Ah... That does sound very fun! A tag-like competition in which no one is harmed.... I am sure that I will love it, Hikari-san!

[He keeps his eyes open too, possibly raising a hand every now and then to block Hikari's view of any risque-looking areas. But soon it looks like they might just be nearing something...!]

[givesalittlewhistle]

[Now, Hikari was often known for being a very smart, mature girl. But even she had a hard time figuring out why Lee would every so often deliberately block her view from something as they went along. She never even got a peek. Not a single visual hint as to what he was doing.]

Is...something wrong, Lee-san?
