Who: Kano & OTA
What: magic practice, pettiness, finals
Where: Lumière, greenhouse, library
When: mid-month, before finals
Warnings: self-harm for prompt i., none expected for the rest
Notes: details of Kano's new Fey Contract can be found on his app

i. Lumière dormitory rooftop
[ Fey magic is a really... terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea. But Kano is determined to make it work, this new Contract that he'd forged a couple of days ago, but it's just so different from his usual illusion magic that he'd worked ten whole years to get to the point where he is now, illusions seamless and effortless compared to him staring at his arm right now wondering what he's doing wrong?

Because his arm is bleeding, a bloody knife on his lap while he pokes at the wound with his other hand and it just comes back bloody, him wincing because it hurts and why isn't the magic working? There's nothing intuitive about this at all, and he has no idea how he's supposed to make it work, with the magic supposed to be healing and dulling pain but it's just doing the opposite for him, the pain making it hard to keep a smile on his face, and making him feel like crying a little.

With a sigh, he waves hand over the bleeding cut instead of touching it, and it disappears— simply masked underneath an illusion, but it's still there while he tries to figure out how to do this, preferably before he bleeds out.

It won't come to it, though. He has three years worth of band-aids stocked up, and he knew they would be useful someday. ]


ii. campus, on the way to the greenhouse or inside
[ But you know what always makes up for terrible days? Even more terrible ideas to get your mind off previous ones. This one isn't that bad, though, because it's something that'll have positive long-term consequences. Probably.

Anyways, it's Kano with long sleeves and pants and winter gloves and the hood of his jacket pulled over his head and eyes and also a bandanna over the rest of his face so he can have as little skin showing as possible. It isn't all because of botched healing practice, though, it's because he's lugging around a three gallon plastic jug in his arms— you know, one of those large plastic containers twice the size of your head that you can buy cheese balls in, but instead of cheese balls, it's bees.

It's a jar full of bees.

He had to ship them to a PO in town and then lug them all the way back to campus; this insect purchasing restriction is really an awful pain. ]


iii. library
[ But also, anyways, it's almost finals and while Kano did surprisingly okay on his midterms, he's got to do slightly more okay on his finals too, because exam scored are literally all that's carrying his grades without the homework to pad it.

So the library it is... Books, his arch nemesis... Him, sitting at one of the open study areas with a stack of brand new text books in front of him that barely look touched, a mug of something on the table that's a dark dark red to the point that it's almost black and also has four tea bags sitting inside it that's steeped so long the tea is no longer steaming, and also hands clamped over his ears like he's trying to block out ambient noise, or massage away a headache, or give himself a headache so he can go hang out in the infirmary for the next two weeks and not do finals.

Why does Daybreak have to be a school??? Schools suck. ]

Wait, hang on, that's not what I said! I just meant... even if you were...

[Ay, now he's done it. Even if the kid's laughing. He makes a face.]

Look, you're probably not a jerk. [Maybe. Past experience makes things questionable.] But I have known jerks and they can have their moments too.

[it is maverick's, but he'll accept that he invited the suffering himself.]

One, that wouldn't fucking break your spine, fucking thanks. I don't weigh that much. Two, probably, but you might lose function of your fucking legs, so you might as well go to the exam and guess.

[Clever! Nana, as she's waking up, doesn't quite register that. She blinks, but--no he must have paused it. Scrolling credits are hard to follow.

She lets her head lean against his and decides this is nice and worth the slow deterioration of a funny franchise.]


The first two were great. The last two were okay. I think they should have stopped with two. But... it was interesting?

[oh no, a theater kid is happening:] How an idea for a script and formula can work, so they keep doing it. So even though Shrek should have learned that he was good enough for Fiona as he was after the plots of the first two films, he had to do something about it again and they had to keep doing weirder and weirder takes on fairy tales, where the fourth movie basically repeated the emotional context of the story from the first and second combined.

Instead of trying something new. It makes me appreciate how hard it is to write a good script, especially for a sequel.

[A beat, then the important question:] Also, why are a donkey and a dragon able to breed, Kano-kun? That knowledge is going to live in my nightmares.

And when your 24 hours are up and I get them back, I can make them reappear again.

[Plus he's been studying them for a while now, as one is supposed to do with notes.]

I was wondering why you had that.

[Sure, okay, he hands it back. It was a nice gesture though, he guesses? People don't normally even play at giving him gifts, so he likes it fine.]

[Mav leans in and props his chin on the heel of his palm to accentuate his dumb grin.]

Ask nicely~ and actually study~

Love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All we need is love. [She catches herself before she literally starts reenacting the scene or singing the song. She's not sure if he knows that movie.

Then:]
But it doesn't make horrible dragon-donkey babies possible.

...Miss Rivera's cat? I-I mean... Pepita is a cat...

[She starts to make a face. She's not familiar with Indrik.]

...maybe they can adopt..?

[That makes him laugh, and he sits back again on his palms.]

Don't like the taste of your own medicine, huh? Alright, let's hear it.
