Needs a Favor

[colony_brat]

[Filtered from Hijiri and Written for Once]

Alright, I need someone who knows 'bout magic and stuff. I wanna put a spell into a piece of jewelery and I don't know how. Need someone ta help me or put the spell in it. Actually, I need ta do it twice.

Apparently I need someone who's skilled with enchantments. The long-term, doesn't wear off kinda thing.

[Action]

[Duo's stolen the necklace he gave to Hijiri for Valentine's Day. Hopefully the musician doesn't notice that it's been replaced by a duplicate. Then again, Duo's acting suspicious, sticking close to Hijiri's side since he doesn't have the protection of the necklace and he's hiding his journal.]

(ooc: Also, Nami, is it alright to say that Duo already stole it? I know we were going to do something with that, but Duo needs it for plot. We can say he stole it in the shower while the soap and Duo's hair was distracting?)

((I don't think there are any more missed ones...))

[pouts a bit, but knows he's just teasing then he looks away as if he's not concerned] I get the house though.

[colony_brat]

(ooc: I hope not. I think that's all the ones I have open. Oh, but I did get a tag out of Arthur.)

Hey! I was there first. And you can't just have Ryuhou to yourself. I'd still wanna see 'im. [It's really hard for him to not chuckle at their teasing.)

[akumanotrill]

Ah~ Ryu is part of the deal~? I didn't know that. I'm definitely getting the house then. I think Ryu would prefer rooming with me than you anyway~

[colony_brat]

Hey! [He really needs to spend time with a dictionary.] That's not fair at all. He might wanna stay with me. I'm sure I could keep 'im entertained. My devil's bein' greedy~

[akumanotrill]

I'm sure he'd still prefer living with me better though~ I give him his personal space. You don't~

[colony_brat]

[Duo shifts the books he's carrying before taking a quick look around again.] Aw~ You don't think I'm fun ta live with~? Think I'm hurt~ And I give him plenty of personal space when I'm outta the house.

[akumanotrill]

Of course I think you are~! Or I wouldn't have moved in in the first place. [laughs] Only when you're out of the house. Hm... I think i have enough books for now.

[colony_brat]

Well then, we'll just have ta make sure you're not too busy so I don't have to leave and then we won't have ta fight over Ryu. Then everythin' works out and I get ta keep my devil~

[akumanotrill]

I guess that works. [chuckles a little] Somehow that all makes Ryu sound like our pet or something~

[colony_brat]

[Duo joins in the laughter.] He does look like a kitty.

[Duo shifts the books enough to offer his arm to Hijiri.] Ready ya go back to the house?

[akumanotrill]

A very grumpy one~

[takes the offered arm] Do you need help carrying the books?

[colony_brat]

But that just makes 'im more adorable and makes ya wanna pet 'im more~

Told ya I was gunna be your faithful and dedicated assistant. That means I carry them. Just don't tug on my arm.

[akumanotrill]

[chuckles] It surely does~ He needs a collar~!

Mn. I won't. [and leans against Duo a bit as they make their way back]

[colony_brat]

The hard part's gunna be figurin' out how ta put one on 'em~ Think I could make a charm like yours and tell 'im it's for protection. Then I can put our initials on the back~ Then he's ours~

[Duo walks carefully so he doesn't drop Hijiri's books.]

[akumanotrill]

Hm... you think he'd really buy that?

[and opens the door for him when they get back]

[colony_brat]

Maybe? I won't lie so when I say it's s'pposed ta protect him, that's what it's supposed ta do. Just won't say how.

[Good because Duo wasn't sure how he was going to handle that. He carries the books in and to the table where he sets them down as carefully as he can.] There ya go! Plenty ta keep ya busy while I'm at Azzip.

[akumanotrill]

We should try it then~!

[sits down on the couch] Guess I won't have to find other entertainment when you're busy then~

[colony_brat]

As my devil wishes~

Better not or I might find some entertainment of my own~ The kind that involves illustratin' why people should keep their hands off ya~

[akumanotrill]

We should give it to him on his birthday or something. So we'd have more reason for him to wear it~

What if their hands were never on me~?

[colony_brat]

I'll have ta check his file again. I don't remember when his birthday is. Might have ta think a some other reason if it's gunna be a long time 'til his birthday.

Then I'd have ta come up with a few other things ta illustrate~ I can be creative~

[akumanotrill]

Hm... another reason... [thinks about it]

But what if they just wanted to be friends ne... I could use some other friends, you know.

[colony_brat]

Don't worry 'bout it. I'll think a somethin' when I have a necklace ta put 'round his neck.

Then I just gotta make sure they don't get any ideas 'bout where they could put their hands. Gotta make sure you're mine~

[akumanotrill]

I'll leave it all to you then~

Not everyone thinks about that all the time like you, Du~o~

[colony_brat]

I'll collar our kitty and make sure he finds his way back to us~

Not so sure 'bout that when they have such a sexy devil leadin' them into temptation~

[akumanotrill]

I don't lead everyone to temptation indiscriminately, Duo~ They have to meet certain standards first~
