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. ]

[But weirdly, that...does make him relax a little. Maybe because Kano's admitting that getting excited is the foolish thing to do? Or maybe it's how much he wants to believe that he thinks it's worth this reaction. "Really cool"... He doesn't get it at all.
At the question, he sighs and shifts his weight, then lifts up his shirt again as he changes the bright blue tattoos back to black.]
no subject
He's getting excited. This is great, but also very dangerous, getting excited. Where is his-- notebook, he takes it out of his pocket and quickly scribbles something on it and then turns it around to show Maverick. It's a complete mess of scribbles, like a tumbleweed. ]
How 'bout this? Can you change only parts of it and leave the rest? Maybe you can find a star in all the lines and change it to show that? You can see where I'm going with this, right, Mav?
no subject
It shocks me that you'd think anyone ever fucking sees where you're going. [Changing grades, he thinks, but he's not going to be the one to give Kano the idea if he wasn't thinking it already.]
no subject
He flips the notebook shut. ]
Welcome to the Dan, member number six. I'm recruiting you, and you aren't allowed to refuse~
no subject
[he refuses on principle.]
What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?
no subject
[ mostly bc I promised Tex that Nana would be seven and Kano has no other friends to make the numbers work ]
no subject
Why the fuck do I need to be number six? Number six of what?
no subject
[ Like that makes it 100% better, with Minako as the figurehead. ]
I'm number three, and I'd really like it if you could join~!!!
no subject
You even allowed to recruit, at number three? [And if they're one and three...] Guessing fireball's two?
no subject
Mmhmm, yep~ Minako's one, Ellie's two, I'm three, and you're six~
no subject
Whatever...
[Cute as it is, it's just so Kano can use his dumb power... But that's not a refusal, anymore? Sort of?]
no subject
We're pinkie promising on this, Maverick, hand out and crossing our hearts, no backing out of the Dan now. ]
no subject
[He looks up and shakes his head. Well, even if he agrees to be number six, he's not actually agreeing to do anything else, so. Whatever. Whatever!!!! Here's your stupid pinkie.]
no subject
Welcome aboard~ It's good to have you! I'll be the one contacting you for any upcoming missions, so keep your phone charged and at your side~
no subject
[He takes his hand back and shoves them into his pockets, hunching over.]
Will you fucking go study now?
no subject
[ But don't worry, he'll study later, when he's forcing Nana to marathon all 2509475 Shrek movies while he sits there and refuses to watch that garbage. ]
