Rebel 28 [Action -- Forward-dated to Morning]

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi started out this morning with the intention of getting some groceries, but the sheer number of new people in the village is making her pause. And look a little dumbfounded.

Why is she getting a really bad feeling the clinic is going to be overrun something fierce...?

She'll just be making her way to the store and then trying to make it back to House 48 without bumping into too many people.

Give her a hand? Knock the groceries out of her arms? Just stand there and whistle at her? Your choice!

She'll also be making her way back into town to try to find some familiar faces later on, because if Kokonoe or Tager or Bang have found their way here, she wants to see them.]

That's no surprise! People live for the sake of love!

[not_meatbuns]

But how did you know about-- [Wait, wait. Maybe they don't really know. Maybe they're just testing for a reaction. She shakes her head.]

...I'm sure you could say the same of quite a few people in this town.

Indeed! Some of the humans here seem to possess the miracle of love!

How wonderful! Oh, how great is the power of love…! Love is everything!

[not_meatbuns]

I suppose I can't really disagree with that... [Stop appealing to her inner hopeless romantic. :C]

[demonsoflove.livejournal.com]

Exactly! You must be one who has the seed of love in your heart.

[not_meatbuns]

W-Well, I...

[Trying to lie about it would really be pointless, wouldn't it.]

[demonsoflove.livejournal.com]

[you don't need to be the 16th or 34th demon of hell to see through that]

But please, don't forget. You are responsible for nurturing your love.

[not_meatbuns]

Ah... yes, I know. But it's just... not so easy.

[demonsoflove.livejournal.com]

[said in unison]

Love can accomplish any impossible thing! This world is love itself!

[and kind of just...hopping around her now.]

[not_meatbuns]

I appreciate the encouragement, but...

[Why is she blushing so much, anyway? This is ridiculous.]

[demonsoflove.livejournal.com]

Indeed! Love is the strongest power in the universe! With love, you can bring about a miracle!

[just choose who you love. JUST CHOOSE.]

[not_meatbuns]

[THAT'S THE HARD PART, OKAY. ;_;]

...I don't know. Sometimes, I think it just might take a miracle.

[love that bears no fruit is the worst kind of love.]

Hey, Zepar. I wonder if there's a magic item appropriate for her?

After being called out like this, we can't go without giving something, right?

[demonsoflove.livejournal.com]

I know! We could grant you a fantastic magical item that could remove even the strongest barriers from love!

[not_meatbuns]

[Is it bad that she's a little curious about this?]

A... magic item...? I'm not sure it could remove this particular barrier, whatever it is.

[Because derp, the only thing getting in her way is herself.]

[demonsoflove.livejournal.com]

[That's up to her. But a little jump-start never hurt anybody right?...right.]

You can't say that! After all, we're two of the 72 highest demons!

[not_meatbuns]

[There's some vague, nagging fear that this item is going to make her forget someone very important... But she's still curious. Dammit.]

...What does it do?

[demonsoflove.livejournal.com]

[and deciding amongst themselves. Maybe a carnation removing the barriers for a little while, just so she could finally accept that love.]

Well then, if you want small magic, for one day, it will send the partner great blessings!

[not_meatbuns]

Well... I suppose that would be alright.

[she, or "she" sees that look on your face, Litchi.]

Do not worry! It's the magic of gratitude. There aren't any curses or negative powers.

2/3

[demonsoflove.livejournal.com]

Only that on worrying, you'll forget any of the blessings.

[demonsoflove.livejournal.com]

But we promise. This magic sends no trouble to the receiver.

[not_meatbuns]

I'd certainly hope not. He's been through enough as it is. [Hnngh, what to do, what to do. On the one hand, it would be nice... on the other...

Litchi sighs.] ...Alright. I suppose giving this a try couldn't hurt.

[demonsoflove.livejournal.com]

[and voila! out of nowhere, a carnation. With both clasping hands with each other and offering it to her with a giggle.]

Your partner, who receives the carnation, is given, just for one day, magic protection.

That being said, we're demons with the amazing power to satisfactorily grant you this item, so you too should accept it in fear.
