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 Hopefully the musician doesn't notice that it's been replaced by a duplicate.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?)

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~

[colony_brat]

Awww does that make me your special shinigami 'cause ya led me so far down~?

[akumanotrill]

It might~?

[colony_brat]

I think I feel real special then~ My devil wanted ta lead me from the righteous path and into his dark ways~

[akumanotrill]

You'd better feel special~ ♥

[colony_brat]

I do, very special. Now what can I do with ya since I'm stickin' so close to ya today and generally bein' annoying?

[akumanotrill]

Mn... we could start working on that necklace for Ryu?

[colony_brat]

Sure. You wanna divide and conquer? I need ta find where I put that spell and I need ta find some metal ta work and we need a chair or a piece of leather ta put it on.

[akumanotrill]

Sure! I can go get a chair and find some leather.

[colony_brat]

(ooc: That was supposed to be chain, but chair works.)

Great. I'm gunna run off to the shop and then go scrounge for that spell. Think I know where I hid it. [Of course he knows where it is. He kisses Hijiri quickly before turning and heading out of the house.]

[akumanotrill]

((I was wondering about that...))

[kisses back a bit and heads out for the marketplace as well and soon come back with a thin leather strap and a length of chain that he thinks might work with the pendant]

[colony_brat]

[Duo takes a little longer since he was looking for a while. He has to find just the right metal after all. Then he's heading into, believe it or not, Ryuhou's room. Where else was he supposed to hide his research? He comes back after a while with a handful of paper.]
