Yea, especially with teaching- though people are kind of desperate with the crap happening right now. Anyways, gonna get some z's so I'm ready for that, but I am SO sorry that for that crappy post, I just couldn't think of anything else that wasn't unnecessary just yet cause it's a nice happy mood and my next actual point involves daddy dearest showing up and I don't want to kill the lovely mood going on right now XD

Hotaru looked at Larel when he came over, "Giving away your prizes?" she smirked lightly, "One of these days I'll find something suitable to return the favor," she said, holding up the cat, before tucking it in to her bag on her side, making sure it wasn't in any way going to fall out. She felt Eryn watching them though and turned a fiery glare at him that had him quickly backing away though he was laughing, quite pleased that she was so viscously embarrassed.
"So, Larel, do you appreciate my handiwork? I know everyone appreciates what I've done with Mera, though we will probably never see it again with that atrocious cloak of hers," He pouted a bit, earning him another glare from the mentioned female, but he was waiting for Larel's answer, "I really didn't have to try too hard to bring out all her natural beauty, though again, it will probably never be seen again, since you know... she's a bit of a brute."
"Why do I keep coming off that way?" Hotaru seethed, "You and that damned Kaori both-"
"Your temper for one."
"How can I not get pissed off with you basically insulting me-"
"Oh hush," he waved her off and though of ripping his hand off the wrist crossed her mind, "I want to know whether or not my handwork was appreciated."

Mera rolled her eyes hearing the conversation before looking at Alari when he spoke, "Didn't earn it? You mean your "embrace"? Well even if you had, which you weren't too far off if I'm being honest, I think someone might kill you for coming within close enough proximity," she said, crossing her arms as she looked up at the sky, waiting on the show to start, "Though the time was short lived, I definitely appreciate it. I was able to come in a little more contact with my emotions that I had tried so hard to push back for so long because I only saw them as a hindrance," she murmured, "And it's only because your insistence that it happened, so thank you for that," she looked at him, "But now it seems I'm stuck with these things," she looked at her wrists, "Because there is no way I will be able to tell you what I have to tell you to be able to unlock them with him prowling and glaring at us...." she mumbled, glancing over towards Larel and Hotaru before looking back up at the sky, "I'm sure you like knowing there's a guarantee for something else like this happening again..."

Yea, that's true. Like me taking my Praxis tomorrow- one of these big tests I have to take to be able to graduate. I don't necessarily have to pass it to graduate, but passing it would look much better when I go applying to get a job whenever that happens.

Hotaru hadn't thought about how the people around them would react to the two of them jumping up on to the roof and she nodded to his statement of going to ask the vendor first. However, when he handed her the toy cat, she smiled softly, looking at the little toy, "Thank you," she murmured, definitely planning on keeping it close. She looked up as he started to walk away and paled a bit as she saw Alari and Mera walking together. Were they walking arm in arm? She was starting to wonder if that funny taste had been some sort of drug or something.
She followed Larel over as he approached them, not missing the look of sheer annoyance that crossed Mera's face. She hadn't intended for either of them see this and now it was too late to pull her arm back. Mera put her hand to her face when Larel started theorizing on what Alari was up to, muttering under her breath in her tongue before they finally decided to just go watch the fireworks.
"Right, fireworks," Hotaru nodded and started in the direction that Alari had said, "Now that this has gotten completely awkward and all that," she added
"Be quiet," Mera muttered to her, pulling her arm back, "Larel, i understand you and Alari have your differences but I am more than capable of handling myself," She said rather shortly before starting to walk that way, taking a rather angry bite of her food as she walked. Hotaru was almost afraid to stand to close to her with the sheer level of irritation she could feel rolling off her. In all honesty the irritation came from embarrassment. This was turning out to be a completely embarrassing kind of night and honestly she kind of felt like she had had enough of being exposed in someway shape or form. She glanced over at Hotaru who was making the effort to not make eye contact and noticed the cat she was holding, "You two play the games?"
Hotaru jumped a little at being addressed but nodded, "Um, yea, we had a little competition of sorts, though Larel won," She thumbed to him
"Which one won that?" Mera used her skewer to point to the toy
"...He did."
Suddenly Mera didn't feel quite as embarrassed though she was sure neither of those two had any idea what was really going on with each other. She took a bite with a satisfied smirk, "Of course he did," She said, stopping as they reached the area where people were clearly waiting for the fireworks to start.
Eryn came up behind them, putting his arms around both women's shoulders and pulled them close to him, "Well ladies, have you enjoyed your evening?"
"You're dead for making me wear this," Hotaru said simply.
"Remove your arm, "Eros," before I skewer it," Mera said without looking at him.
Eryn looked a little hurt, "Oh come on," He pouted looking between them, "Did you or-.... You two were being crude to try and avoid telling me the truth," he grinned, "You two are so adorable," He gave their arms a squeeze though they were glaring at him at that point, "Oh but sister you still have those cuffs on. Is it you cannot admit your-"
"Continue to speak, dear brother, and I'll kill you."

Goodie for midterms and all that, I understand needing time to get through that. I would say can't wait to be done with those, but I might go after my master's next >_<

Hotaru was grateful for the mask as she felt Larel grab her hand. He was the only guy to ever grab her hand before and for some reason that had a huge affect on her. It was enough of a distraction to stop thinking about what was bothering her and she appreciated the effort. When he asked whether or not she was alright, she nodded, she felt better with less people around. It was easier to think.
She felt something at her hip and looked to see a gourd- similar to something alcohol was carried in- tied to her hip. She moved her mask, "That definitely wasn't there before," She took it off and opened it, going wide-eyed as she did as the scent hit her immediately, "Guess Eryn kept his part of the bargain," she took a long swig of the contents before putting the top in, "That tasted weird, but whatever," she took a deep breath, "So much better," she looked around as she put it back on her hip, "So where are the fireworks? It's been ages since I've got to see some, so I hope these are good," She smiled at him, feeling much better now that the thirst wasn't starting to be ball she could think about.
She wondered what kind of blood was in the gourd as it definitely didn't taste human and it wasn't gypsy. Her guess was some kind of animal and she understood then why it would be guilt free. She didn't necessarily feel bad for killing some over reproductive rabbit or something or that nature.
"Maybe if we get up on the rooftops the fireworks would be easier to see," she suggested, pointing up to the roofs closest to them, looking back to him, wondering what he thought of the idea then realized she was missing one of her prizes, "Oh, left the fish," she glanced back, "Oh well...." she shrugged and looked at him, "I think we both know you won anyways," she smirked, "Some other kid will enjoy him for awhile."

Mera looked over at him as he spoke, still a bit embarrassed she got so completely carried away about herself, wondering if those damned cuffs had anything to do with it, but raised a brow as she saw him grab his wrist, wondering what was up with that. But she deadpanned when he consulted his book to look for advice and stifled a sound of some sort of laugh at his comment about going 'aaah.'
"I would swear you've never paid attention to any couples you've ever seen around you from the way you talk about it," Mera said once she regained her composure, "Tonight is a one time deal, you hear me? And if you tell anyone about this ever, I will bury you alive never to be found again," she prodded his shoulder before hooking her arm with his and pulling him in to the crowd, "If you want something to actually be intimate, you kind of just have to do as your heart wants, don't consult books about it, especially not in the moment when you're trying to do something to show your intimacy with a person," she looked at him at that, "Kind of makes it feel less personal and more like an exercise rather than what most people call a date," she said before going up to a stand, buying a couple of the Yakitori, "Just cause I'm actually hungry, not because I'm trying to squash the moment," she explained, holding one out to him as she had them both in one hand, still holding on to his arm, "You can handle me doing this right? Or do I need to let go else you're going to just die and pass to the netherworld here and now?" she asked, raising a brow at him.
She had gone in the opposite direction of Kaori as she didn't need to listen to him right now while she was trying to figure this out for herself and all, but inadvertently had gone in the direction of Larel and Hotaru since they had moved away from most of the people. She hadn't been trying to keep up with anyone in the crowd as her focus wasn't exactly capable of being devoted to that at the moment

I'll reply tomorrow if I get the chance to breathe *crosses fingers for a snow day*

Leiko followed his gaze to the matching game and nodded in agreement about using it as a finale. When he declared he was going to be the winner, she laughed, "Well, I'm glad you've got such confidence in yourself!" she smirked at him before he mentioned her going to the festivals before and she shrugged, "I didn't really get to eat anything like this when I was there because my parents said it was commoner food and we weren't to be on the same level of the rabble. She had a lot of nerve considering she was lower than them," she muttered before going over towards the card table, watching someone else play before paying to play herself.
She glanced around as the guy shuffled and laid out the cards before looking back and tapping her finger on the stand as she tried to think of which cards to pick. She flipped over two, not surprised to find they weren't a match. In the end she managed to get one match, sighing in annoyance at her poor luck, "Six attempts doesn't really feel like enough..." she mumbled, waving off the prize as it isn't much of anything to start with. She leaned on the stand out of the way so that Larel could play, "Your turn," she said before looking around again and then raising a brow when there was a break in the crowed and she spotted Alari and Mera, "Holy crap and I though Eryn did a number on me," she mumbled, but she was also surprised at the fact Mera was clearly blushing about something. She finished her last piece of food before a scent hit her hard. Her eyes darted around and she saw some little kid had tripped when they were running and had cut their knees on the small pieces of gravel on the path, "Of course," She hissed under her breath as the kid started crying, their parents ushering over. She pulled her mask back down before looking back, hoping she could just keep it together a little longer. She was having fun, she didn't want this curse she had no control over at this point to ruin everything.

"You know, there's a reason the house I had for the last two decades was away from the village- I don't do crowds," Mera sighed, putting her hands on her hips, before he mentioned that her opinion mattered, to which she rolled her eyes then raised a brow at his reaction to looking to where the tattoo was, "That? It's part of the tattoo that covers my back. It's a.. flower patch of sorts, a different flower for each of my siblings," She explained, "Cheesy I know but my connection with earth made it seem fitting," she rubbed the back of her neck, blushing lightly again but with embarrassment this time, "The rose is for Mary because my mother used to say that roses would always bloom during times of strife and with the shape our family is in now it seemed fitting for her, there just wasn't enough room to get it completely on my back," she explained, "Maybe one day you'll see the rest and maybe I'll add more for the lot of you making such an impact on my life," she put her hand on her chin, "But where would I put them?" she seemed very complexed with that question before explaining why it mattered, "Tattoos are more than just pictures, their placement matters too- at least to me. The flowers are on my back because as siblings we're always there for each other, even if we can't necessarily see each other, and we'll watch each others backs in a tough spot," she murmured, "The vines on my arms are because I felt bound by everything that was happening to me at the time," She held her arms out, looking at the thorny vines on her forearms that went up to her elbows, "I supposed I could put something on my hands for Larel and Hotaru," she mused, turning her hand over to look at the back of them, tilting her head as she thought about what she would put then blushed again as she realized she got carried away, "Sorry," she mumbled, quickly dropping her hands to her sides

Sorry that one took me so long. I've had quite the last couple of days >_<

Hotaru smirked a bit at his reasoning for not getting the cat mask and nodded when he explained why he got two masks. She was surprised to hear that Alari had sealed Zenmaru but she had to appreciate the lack of snide comments she was sure would keep Larel from actually enjoying himself. She could understand that having fun felt foreign but something in her really wanted to give him the real chance to enjoy himself, though she herself hadn't gotten the chance to do it growing up.
She followed him as he picked their next game and put her hand to her chin as the vendor mixed up the cups, following his hands as he did, figuring he would end up having her go next. Sure it was cheating just a little bit to have some idea of where the cups were when the vendor finished but then she got the feeling that she didn't want to resort to cheating to have to win. She reached over and really quickly mixed them up some more, "Sorry, knew where it was," she waved off the confused vendor before tapping her chin and picking up the middle one. She pouted a bit that it wasn't there, almost wishing then she hadn't mixed them up but she grinned when she found it under the next one, "Ha ha! Success!" she beamed, clapping her hands together before getting her prize, "Since we both got a prize, does it count as a tie, or do I get it since I found it before you did?" she looked at Larel, tilting her head, the beads on her hair decor jingling lightly, "All I know is my hands are getting a little full and unlike these nic naks, I can't stick this little guy in my bag...." She looked at the gold fish in the jar before looking around, "I'm going to keep an eye out for some kid that deserves a fish," she smirked and nodded as she looked back to him, before that feeling hit her again and she caught his arm, "Food," she pulled him towards another stand, paying for their food, "Hope you like fish, pretty sure this has octopus in the middle," She looked at one of the balls in her hands before taking a bite, "This keeps away the urges though, so if you're not going to eat them, I will," She said before looking around, "One more game to settle the score? And you pick cause I picked the first two," she took another bite, finding she could appreciate the flavors as they were put together. Cause there would be no way she would eat Octopus on its own.

Mera stiffened as he caught her doing it and stepped away, "No, don't do that," She said shortly, "It's not necessary," she cleared her throat, "Though you have proven you are apparently naive in that area as I am and have about zero tact," she mumbled before motioning forward, "Let's get this over with, yea? You said your big plan was this thing with the fireworks, let's see if you can.... if you can earn it," she said, looking at him, blushing a little bit at the idea of intimately embracing someone. She cleared her throat again as she felt her stomach erupt in to that feeling as she turned to head towards the street, blinking as she saw a butterfly before her face deadpanned as she looked around. 'Butterflies, thank you for explaining, Eryn' she knew he had more than likely given Mary one of the butterflies he kept in containers in his home to give her the clue. Her "phenomena" was butterflies, "How ridiculous," she rubbed her forehead before starting forward around the butterfly to the street, "Unless you have some other plan, Alari, we should get on with it before there's nothing left to do. I'm sure the vendors don't plan on going to whole night if they have people they want to watch the fireworks with as well," she said as she glanced back at him, "Or are you going to add some other stipulation to be able to maybe in the end get these off? I still have to put it all out there for you, but I imagine you rather enjoy trying to drag it out, don't you?" she mused, tilting her head at him as she held her arms out to show the cuffs again
