plague upon the world (it's these two gremlins)
WHO: Ellie, Kano, and you~
WHERE: Lumière dorms, around campus
WHEN: first week of school
WHAT: crickets!!!
WARNINGS: crickets... nothing else foreseen, but will edit if necessary!
NOTES: this is a joint post with Ellie and Kano, so you might be tagged back by either of them or both, please let us know if you have a preference!
i. Lumière Dormitory lobby
[ Twenty centimeters isn't a lot. The length of the box's edge just barely exceeds the length of Kano's palm as he carries his package into the dorms, giving it a little shake next to his ear but unable to hear anything inside. The box is pretty light, too... maybe they got scammed?
The only way to find out is to open the box, and Ellie's right there to stab her switchblade into the top of the box and pull down sharply to cut open the box—-
Do you know how many crickets fit inside a 20x20x20 cm box? Originally, around 500.
Now, there's only a couple dozen left, and dwindling every passing second the two of them stare at the plague they've unleashed upon the dorm. ]
ii. cricket wrangling, inside and around the dorm
[ You learn to stop screaming real quick when every time you open your mouth, you find a cricket or two inside, so it's masks on and sleeves pushed up like this isn't shady at all, haha, this isn't their fault. Anyways, stand there, right there, and DON'T. MOVE. Just stay still while the two of them... well, it's no butterfly net, but they've got fly swatters and two socks full of crickets that they can tie off when they're full and— ]
I SAID DON'T MOVE!!
[ If you get smacked in the face, you've already gotten fair warning, now take off your socks and make yourself useful. ]
iii. on the waaaaay other side of campus
[ They pretend they have nothing to do with the fact that an exterminator is being called to exorcise the dorms. They have nothing to do with that? They've been here the entire time, camped out in front of one of the buildings with their little stall— a table dragged out from somewhere, two folding chairs, a sign leaning against the front of the table reading:
€1 EACH
IF YOU TOUCH IT, YOU BUY IT
IF IT TOUCHES YOU, YOU BUY IT
NO REFUNDS
ALL PROCEEDS GO TO THE 7 SEVENS
[ and a megaphone that's a mistake to allow in Kano's hands as he shouts right into it. ]
Crepes! Get your crepes here~! Chocolate clusters and liquid luck! There's a surprise in every bite! Purchase one of each and receive a complimentary ~*~*mystery box*~*~! What a deal! Don't pass this chance up!!
[ The ~*~*~mystery boxes*~*~ are packed up nice and neat on one end of the table, with the rest of it being a spread of little chocolate drops on a tray (they twitch once in a while, but ignore that), several dozen bottles of something dark brown (the liquid sloshes around once in a while, but ignore that), and Ellie currently taking her turn at working the crepe station, once in a while sprinkling in some of the """secret ingredient""" (some of which might escape and leap onto your face and chirp, but iGNORE THAT) ]

[The look he gives Kano is that of a shark]

After all, you can't expect someone to work for free in this economy~
no subject
Ahh, what a problem! You got me~ It's too bad that I'm broke! I guess I'll just have to let you kill them all!!
no subject
Very well then.
[Blue flames wrap around him as a mask forms on his face and his clothes shift to a long trenchcoat, dress pants, a vest, and red gloves.]
We'll destroy them all.

[he huffs... then put up his hood so at least he's doing something]
Oh, and if it turns out you're trying to use reverse psychology to get others to do your dirty work... well...

[ He claps for Ren's magical girl transformation, a round of applause that draws on a little longer than necessary. ]
Well?
[ He echoes, clasping his hands behind his back so they'll be out of the way. Are they going to eradicate the crickets from the kitchen and do Kano's work for him, or suffer letting them live another day so Kano can figure out wtf to do about them? Whichever they decide, he'll make it work, somehow. ]
no subject
[Ren rips the mask from his face as a demonic being takes form and unleashes a burst of black and red energy that spirals toward Kano, and the single cricket hanging out at his feet. I mean, he's in the way after all]

Kano also jumps back, just in the nick of time to get his feet out of the way, stumbling and sitting hard on his backside. ]
Hey! What happened to keeping the kitchen a sanctuary!!
[ Don't go summoning demons in here and blasting the floor apart! Fool! ]

[He gives Kano a very pointed look]
no subject
Probably should do what he says.
