Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull waits on top of a rooftops air conditioner. It's a high skyscraper and you can see STRAIGHT to the ocean in Uminari Bay over there- and the lights of the theme park---and the twinkling lights of the cars on the highway and the moon hanging in the sky---and you know- some sort of freaky weird floaty flower. Gull was not under that skyscraper. It was still unsettling.

She'd called Riventon-chan because she now has the abilities to ACCESS AN EMPLOYEE DIRECTORY. Well. Actually. She had to con someone with actual access to do it. She did this with big wide eyes and pleading and saying 'Pleeeeeease' to a mundane worker. Riventon can file a complaint to Hannah later involved contact antics that are harmless in the end.

Corvus is on her shoulder.

"Are you sure this is a good idea, Gull?" asks Corvus softly. "He's a jerk. A big magical jerk. And White-chan blushed a lot when you mentioned him and she said she'd be fine- but.. well. Sometimes people lie to themselves. Remember?" he warns.

Gull closes her eyes. "Yeah. But... I mean. He helped me...too...kinda--- and.. meh. We'll just wait when he gets here, Imma gonna put on my chipper face!"

She smiles to her self and looks around a bit. "Mhph.... is he late...?"

Takashi Agera has posed:
Riventon is late. Why is Riventon late? Becayse he's conflicted about even being here. Is it a trap? So he's actually spent some time watching. Now he's convinced it's not a trap.

Now the other question needs to be asked... should he even be there? It's not an easy question to answer. He's not sure what Gull wants, really. The way she called him Riventon-chan... well, that struck him a little strangely.

Eventually he decided to land, largely because soon the small fox on his shoulder was liable to ask interesting questions, and so he walks up behind Gull - intentionally making his footsteps loud so he doesn't startle her on the quiet rooftop. "Hello? What did you want to see me about?" he asks. His tone is mostly cordial, professional. "Is it something for White-san?"

Ayana has posed:
As soon as Takashi lands, the fox hops down off his shoulder, landing lightly on the rooftop. Strangely blue eyes shine out of her face; out of place for a fox, but this creature is almost assuredly magical. She pads to the air conditioner and hops up, sniffing at Cure Gull's feet curiously. A trio of big fluffy tails wag lazily back and forth as she investigates.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull goes to answer Riventon and-----

"OH MY GOD! SHE'S ADORABLE! WHAT'S HER NAME!? IS SHE YOUR FAMILAR!? CAN I PET HER!? I WANT TO HU--------"

Corvus already has a wing over his face. Ayana has met Gull once. She fed her burgers! She doesn't have burgers with her tonight.

"Nrg!? R-right..." she looks down. "Sorry- she really is adorable...." she asides. "Um...actually...I... um."

"You remember... me when I was Scorn. Right?" she asks softly, tapping two fingers together in front of her.

"White-chan said you were bookish and sweet... you're a little curt--but..." she sits down on the air conditioning unit when Ayana has had enough investigation. "What do you like to do, Riventon-chan?" she asks softly.

Takashi Agera has posed:
Riventon blinks. He then smiles, as Cure Gull goes on about his familiar. "Yes, she's my familiar." he adds, after a pause. Then Cure Gull asks a very good question.

"I'm not... sure. That's a good question." he says, honestly. "What do I like to do. Well, I spend a lot of time reading. I'm taking college level courses.... I played chess the other day, that was fun."

"Why do you ask?" he inquires. "I mean, people don't usually ask me up to rooftops and inquire about my personal life."

Ayana has posed:
The little fox sneezes briefly to the side as Cure Gull takes a seat, then turns around once and bounds into the girl's lap. She peers up at her--or maybe she's peering at Corvus on her shoulder. A moment later, the fox starts trying to climb up onto Cure Gull's shoulder, herself--but is it to lick Gull's face, or to eat the bird?

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull blinks at Riventon's words. Corvus is eyeing Ayana with a careful frown. He's used to trying to be eaten by now. Ayana is trying to come up, so she helps the fox up to her free shoulder and smiles. "Now I have a shoulder fox!" she insists.

She peeks down at Riventon and blinks again.

"So you read. What?" she asks softly. "Enjoyment books? or study books?" she asks with a bit lip.

"Well! I asked you out here....." she says crossing her arms.

"To ask you out on a date." she says crossing her arms and just comes out and says it. Arms crossed!

Takashi Agera has posed:
"Both. I think knowing things is interesting, so if I'm studying, I'm learning, and that's fun and enjoyable." he says, honestly.

Then there's a pause, as Gull explains her purpose. He looks at her. Then he looks at Ayana. Then he looks at Corvus. Then back to Cure Gull. "....excuse me?" he asks. He is completly, and utterly purplexed by the question she has asked. "I..."

There's a big pause. a big breath. "Why?" he finally asks, confused. He is very confused.

Ayana has posed:
The little fox perches carefully on Gull's shoulder, eyeing Corvus carefully on the other shoulder. ~Because she's cute,~ the fox sends to Riventon, mentally. ~And because she likes you. Don't argue it, just go with it.~

Then, she tamps down a little before leaping towards Gull's other shoulder, attempting to catch Corvus in her mouth.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull ack and grabs Corvus-Chan! "Corvus-Chan is not for eating! Stay away!" she insists to Ayana! Corvus flails, unable to say anything atm as he's being MA---GIRLHANDELED by Gull-chan.

She frowns at Riventon. "Hey...." she says softly.

"I... look you studied me a lot as Scorn. I guess I kinda got a crush and it was really hard to ignore and White-chan said I should just ask you out then but I couldn't find the courage...." she admits.

"W--Well I have it now! So---!" she huffs and points, POINTEDLY at Riventon.

Takashi Agera has posed:
There's a long period of silence. Then he pipes up with an objection. He thinks it's a reasonable objection. "So where would we go on a date that we could stay in henshin? Since you're the one asking, do you have something in mind?"

He thinks this might be a good enough roadblock for now. And he, of course, hasn't said yes. "White-san said that?" he adds, also. He's gonna have to have a talk with her about this too, for sure.

Ayana has posed:
The target of the little fox's assault is gone! Suddenly and inexplicably gone! The little creature flails its legs, then winds up face-planting on the air conditioner with a yelp of pain. She shakes her head clear, then turns around and glares at Cure Gull. ~I take it back! She took food from me! Not good enough!~

Then she pauses and reconsiders. If Takashi were to go on a date, it might distract her from protecting the bird. If that happened, maybe she could eat it. It looks so tasty.

~Wait I'm wrong,~ Ayana is quick to send to Takashi. ~Amusement parks love halloween costumes! You could go to an amusement park!~ She's a helper, this fox.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull huffs. "Leave my mascot alone! He's Corvus-chan! He means a lot to me! Don't eat him!" she scolds Ayana. She huffs and frowns and now hugs around Corvus-chan who feels safer- if suffocated.

She blushes. "There's a burger joint I know of that doesn't mind if I'm in costume- that might be good for a first one... not like. Ritzy or anything but the night worker is super cool and doesn't mind costumed heroes! He thinks it's neat!" she smiles wide. "Or we can go to a place people except cosplay. Theme park. A convention." she says softly. "Stuff like that!" she says.

Takashi Agera has posed:
"First date?" he comments, stunned. This means, logically, she has plans for future dates, too. "Gull-chan. I don't know if this is a good idea. For a whole lot of reasons. Like, what if we're out on this date you want to have, and someone sees me? They're probably going to attack me. I don't just roam around in costume." he adds.

"Wait wait. Let me... let me ask you a question. Why are you working with Miss White now, anyways? I thought you were... you know... with the" he stops. He cannot say 'good guys' in front of Ayana. That would be admitting that he's not the good guys.

"the people who fight me." he finally settles on after a /really long/ pause.

Ayana has posed:
Ayana licks her lips, but with the bird coddled by Cure Gull, she can't get to it. No, better to lie in wait, nurture the opportunity. So the little fox hops down off the air conditioner and walks back to Takashi's side, tails swishing with every step. She hops up into his arms--of course he'll catch her, right?

~Just try it~, Ayana suggests to Takashi mentally. ~I will keep watch while you go on your date.~

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull huffs. "First keep your fox over there for a bit!" she says as she places Corvus as he crosses his arms. "Well I think this is a silly idea and I think you're a big jerk." he says frankly and honestly. Haruna frowns and closes her eyes.

"I...owe White-chan a lot Riventon. She's going to help me save my sister. She helped me when Corvus was a big jerk and tried to kill me! She helped me when I had to hang around with you guys!" she says.

"And---there's other reasons too! Maybe selfish- but... not really!" she says.

"I'm still gonna punch her when she does stupid stuff and I'm still gonna punch you when you do stupid stuff!" she insists at Riventon.

She huffs..."Blue-sama... said that sides don't exist when we're not fighting. Like. We're not fighting right now! So there shouldn't be a reason for me to punch you!" she says. "Nor any reasons for you to launch big balls of energy or something at me, right!?" she asks. "And we can just....be people..." She says quietly.

Takashi Agera has posed:
Suddenly a fox hops into his arms! Riventon catches her and she curls up, so he almost automatically starts scratching behind her ears. Like he does when he's working on a complex problem and she's around.

"Gull-chan. I'm not sure this 'Blue' is right. Like..." he takes a deep breath. "I don't become a different person when I fight. I just am more able to... do things. To act out." he says. He has to choose words VERY carefully now.

"To try to change the world into what I want it to be. But I'm always that person. The one you think is a jerk." Another long pause. More petting of a fox.

"So I don't think I can just be 'people'. But... you went out of your way to come out here, to talk to me. You seem to really think it's a good idea." And his fox seems to, too. And, well, in a certain way, being people is at least part of his current line of inquiry. "So I tell you what. We can have one date. One date won't hurt anything, I don't think." He seems somewhere between resigned and hopeful about this idea. "Just don't fill your own head with ideas that aren't true."

Ayana has posed:
~Worst case,~ Ayana sends to Takashi as she leans into the scritchings, ~you can always figure out the source of her power, and use it.~ Her eyes lid a little as she goes practically boneless into his scritchings. Because honestly, there's only one thing better than food in this world.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull humphs!

"And you don't think I don't know what White-chan's agenda is!? As long as she isn't killing herself to make herself more powerful than you or I could imagine, she can try all she wants!" she says with a huff! "-AND- I know White-chan's real identity! So if you think you can't trust me, or you think it's a trap! You're wrong!" she says with a huff.

But then she lets those sink in. "Deal! One Date! But I have a condition!" she says with a huff and lean forward. "If I even make you smile... a /little/ before the end of the date, you owe me one! And you keep owing me one every date I make you smile!" she insists waving a finger!

Takashi Agera has posed:
Takashi leans over and looks at Cure Gull. His head tilts ever so slightly. "You... you can't put conditions, on a date that you're asking for, Gull-chan." he says, plainly. "That only works if I was asking you for a date. I should be the one putting conditions on this..."

He's thinking. This is dangerous. He's thinking about what Ayana just said - this is /much more dangerous/. After a bit, he begins. "If you want to go on a date, you can't bring Corvus. It's not a date with a third party." This is notwithstanding the fact that Ayana will be there - but Takashi also knows he couldn't possibly help that.

"If Corvus comes I'm gonna call my fox, and she'll show up and eat him!"

Ayana has posed:
Despite being fully engrossed in her scritches, the little fox lifts her head suddenly and stares at Cure Gull when she names her "condition". Piercing sapphire eyes seem almost calculating. ~Dangerous,~ she notes, but Takashi is thinking the same thing. The little fox breathes a faint sigh of relief, then lowers her head once again so that he can continue scritching.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Cure Gull huffs! "Fine!" she says as she crosses her arms. "Corvus can stay home for a night!"

Corvus blinks and heys! "Over my dead feathered butt!" he says.

"Too bad!" she says crossing her arms indignatly.

Coruvs hrmphs and crosses his wings.

Gull peeks and huffs! "Well! How will you know you won't want a second or third one then!" she says as she points! "but FINE!" she says as she lifts up off the ground, wings forming on her back. "We'll go on a date and you're gonna love it!" she insists!

Takashi Agera has posed:
Riventon watches Cure Gull fly away after she responds to his 'condition', and he looks down at Ayana. "You seem to think this is a good idea too... why?" he asks, honest confusion in his voice.

Ayana has posed:
Ayana watches Cure Gull fly away, then leaps out of Takashi's arms. Before she hits the ground, she transforms into the dark familiar, shorter than Takashi, yet still a girl nearly his age. She squints after the retreating Gull and says nothing for a few moments. Then she turns back to him and shrugs. "You mean other than wanting to eat the bird?" she asks him honestly. "Because if you are all work and no play, you will forget what it's like to smile and love." She wraps her arms around Takashi in a hug, then squeezes a little. "Especially if I'm off being a Magical Girl, I can't be the only one there for you. You need more than just me, Takakun."

Takashi Agera has posed:
Riventon looks at her, and sighs. "You know, what I said earlier was true. I don't think my work and my play are different. I enjoy what I do." he says firmly. This may not sound as true as he wants it.

"I think this is a big mistake. For a lot of reasons." he adds, with a resigned sigh. "Oh well, lets go home."

Ayana has posed:
Ayana's eyes narrow just faintly at him, then she pokes him gently in the chest. "It's never a mistake to investigate those who think punching you is okay," she scolds him gently. But she's hungry, and the bird was not eaten. "Home sounds good," she says, then transforms back into a fox and leaps onto his shoulder.

Takashi Agera has posed:
"Ayana, there is a very long list of people who believe punching me to be okay. I do not have the time to go on dates with all of them." he says as they launch into the sky.
