So! After everything that happened, and. Uh. With the hands sticking thing...

[She looks distinctly uncomfortable, her legs folded under her as she sits on her bed with a little frown.]

Anyway, I thought that maybe I could find a partner for that mission, yeah? I'm a Weapon and I mean. Uh.

[Stops and finally blows out a frustrated breath of air.]

I didn't really like it, but I turned into one of my binding rods, yeah? So maybe someone out there knows how to fight using a rod, so I guess that's what I'm letting everyone know! Even if I really, really didn't like it...

But you have to promise not to throw me at something! Because partnerships are all about trust, yeah? And that's important to me, especially after everything that happened with those sand things.

I'm in my room! I'm in A9 at the Casualty Communal, and what am i supposed to do now!?

[Video] --> [Action]

[socialbutterfly]

Wait. I'll be there soon. [The feed goes dark. Several minutes pass before there's a knock on your door. I really hope you didn't lock it, Vanille...]

[Action]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[She constantly forgets to lock it, so he's in luck as she yells out from her position on the floor.]

COME IN!

[Action]

[socialbutterfly]

[Turning the door handle, Minato wanders in and scans the floor for-- oh, there it is.]

Is this stick you, Vanille?

[Action]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

I'm not a stick! I'm a binding rod, yeah?

[If she could pout, she would; otherwise she just sounds kind of sulky on the floor.]

[Action]

[socialbutterfly]

[He'll squat down to get a better look.] You're really colourful. It's okay if I touch you..?

[Action]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Course I am! I'm the best kind of binding rod, yeah?

[Though she laughs, it's a nervous, shaky laugh.]

Ah...yeah, I guess it's okay. You're going to help me figure out how to get out of this, right?

[Action]

[socialbutterfly]

[He smiles.] Only if it's okay for me to touch you when you're normal too.

[Action]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

You better mean just touching my arm or something, yeah? Otherwise I'm going to stay like forever!

[Sighs and hums.] Okay! Okay.

[Action] I want you to know that writing this sentence made me UNSURE

[socialbutterfly]

[Laughing.] I'll pick you up now. Don't do anything sudden. [And tentatively probing first just in case, he reaches down and wraps his fingers around her shaft.]

[Action] /cracks up Oh god I can't take this one seriously

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Do anything sudden!? What am I going to do, shoot things at people!

[And somehow this makes her so uncomfortable BUT WHY WOULD SHE FEEL THAT WAY!? Otherwise this just makes her feel a little sick.]

[Action] /sobbing

[socialbutterfly]

That weird part at the tip might suddenly come off...

[Feeling uncomfortable is what this thread is all about now. Up you go, Vanille! Minato will pull you so you're standing erect up now.]

[Action] Can't breathe. Laughing and crying too much.

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

It won't come off unless you twist it off.

[Except that's a part of her...]

Don't twist anything! [Oh god, she might be crying on the inside. Please let her get back to herself!]

[Action] I'm running out of innuendo lol

[socialbutterfly]

It'd be best if you got used to this... [He's going to use his other hand now too because you're so... big. Time to see if you extend further. He'll swing you around.>

[Action] AH I HATE YOU

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Careful careful careful! [Yells at him as she's being swung around. At least it's better then when what's his face threw her, and the lines from the top throw out, catching on the chair in the room.]

You uh...reel those in like a fishing rod, yeah? Um. Don't reel in the chair!

[Action] AHahahahaha

[socialbutterfly]

The chair's already stuck in what you fired at it, though... [Because she's already shot out, he's stopped tugging her to and fro. For now.]

[Action] OH THAT ONE WAS JUST BAD

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[Sighs.] Okay! Um, just, grab the handle and reel it in slowly, yeah? Careful!

[Action] Haha I'll stop now

[socialbutterfly]

It's the same as a fishing rod. [He'll start trying to figure this out... grab, tug... Oh, tugged too hard. He ducks and narrowly escapes the chair.]

Oh... oops.

[Action] oh good xD

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[She squeaks as the chair goes flying, and then starts laughing.]

Okay, okay, enough practice! You might break a window or something, yeah? [Teases slightly, though she doesn't want to break a window.]

So, um...how do I get out of this?

[Action]

[socialbutterfly]

[Now you're a leaning stick.] Try cast a spell again.

[Action]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

How am I supposed to cast a spell if I can't move or anything? [Careful with the leaning stick there.]

[Action]

[socialbutterfly]

Yell out the spell name and think about it happening. [That's how it works with Persona anyway. Lots of yelling.]

[Action]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Um. Okay! [Not really how you do it with her, but okay. She'll give it a try. Though the yell comes out more like a whisper, and she imagines she's throwing her arm up in the air.]

Firaga? [Says softly as she wills it to work, when suddenly she's definitely not a stick anymore. More of a flailing mess, actually.]

AH IT WORKED IT WORKED!

[Action]

[socialbutterfly]

[Wow, he hadn't expected that to work. Surprised, he grips Vanille tighter than intended. Actually, he's not sure where his hands are. Probably soon moving to the defend from the flailing.

At least he's touching her, uhuhu.] Ah..!

[Action]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[Oh right. He's holding her. Well, she stops flailing so that he won't drop her, and she looks up at him with a smile.]

You helped me! Thank you thank you thank you! [Wraps her arms around his neck and gives him a hug.]
