But at least she’s aware of the 90s MSDOS game ‘Jill of the Jungle!’”[/color] [color=888888]— Suki Oyama[/color][/center] It was hard for Suki to stay calm. The light cutie had stopped running and was making eye contact with her. Suki's heart felt like it was going to explode out of her chest. When she commented on how unsettling Suki looked in flight, the blood witch giggled before tipping her head. [color=tomato]"I was scared too! I’m glad I lived!’”[/color] Such a considerate girl, far too pure for the likes of Hibusa town. Suki expected the angel to run away again, but instead she did the unthinkable. The unbelievable. A huge surprise. In fact just hearing her do it caused Suki’s jaw to swing open. Her eyes twinkled like lakes in the summer sun. [color=tomato]"Lycoris, or Homura!?’”[/color] She couldn’t be entirely sure, but it sounded like [i]Homura[/i] had just told Suki her magical girl name [i]and[/i] her real name. [color=tomato]"Such beautiful names for a beautiful angel!’”[/color] To think she trusted Suki with so much information so soon! It was official, Homura was [i]totally[/i] into Suki. But to Homura’s credit, she was going to play hard to get. She used the ol’ “Is that your phone? I gotta skedaddle!” trick. But Suki had run through fire, headbutted a tree, and just learned Homura’s name. There was no way shei could let her go. She looked at her phone just long enough to assuage Homura’s concerns. But once Homura's back was turned, the chase would resume. Suki already had two trees lined up that she could use to fling herself towards her mark. She wouldn’t aim too high this time. Her crimson tendrils coiled around the trees and- [i]*Smack*[/i] Suki reeled backwards as a bullfrog landed square on her head. Even if the attack had blinded her, she could feel the amphibian’s wet, slimy body sliding down her face. But the frog clung to its victim, and was very chill with its perch. Suki reached up to pull the frog off of her face and- [i]*Smack*[/i] A second bullfrog landed on her face. Suki used her other hand to pull it off before assessing her surroundings. But directly overhead, myriad silhouettes descended from the overhead branches and landed all over Suki. [i]*Smack-Smack-Plick-Smack-Smack-Smack-*[/i] Bullfrogs, tree frogs, Suki was bombarded by so many frogs her only recourse was to topple backwards onto the forest floor. But there were even more frogs there. They were hopping all over the place, and didn’t seem to care if Suki was there or not. While the blood witch was initially confused by their appearance, that slowly changed to joy.. One by one, she caught the frogs, kissed them, and then tossed their unconscious bodies into the forest. But as she kissed more frogs, her brow started to furrow. It wasn’t until she kissed her ten or twentieth frog that she started to get [i]mad[/i]. [color=tomato]"Come on! Where is he!?”[/color] Before long, Suki was surrounded by a few dozen unconscious frogs. But Homura was nowhere to be seen. She could track her, but that was assuming that no more frogs would show up. And there absolutely, positively, would be more frogs.They likely covered her tracks with their rampant hopping too. With nothing better to do, Suki opened her phone and read her messages. She didn’t respond to anything. She just sighed before closing her phone. No angel, no frog prince, no romance tonight. She almost didn’t feel like eating. Suki’s bangs covered her eyes as she disappeared in the shadows of the trees.
