[There is a poke at Marisa's side; one with her fingers bent so Flandre didn't stab her with any of her claws.

There was really nothing more that she could add to the matter, at least that she hadn't grumped about before. Probably at Marisa, occasionally. Adding more sound to the echo chamber got tiring after awhile.

So Flandre started talking about something else.
]

Did you know you're upside down?
stardustreverie: (Eh?)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2015-07-18 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Eh?

[Marisa looks confused for a moment, almost as if she's just caught on to that fact. There is a moment before her normal grin is slowly coming back.]

Yeah, gets the blood ta my head faster that way! Or could be me usin' wishful thinkin' on that one. Mayne think of a way ta help in this whole mess.
jolie_aile: (Yes I'm sure the weather is nice today)

[personal profile] jolie_aile 2015-07-18 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
What about now?

[From where she was standing behind the couch, Flandre didn't have to reach far to latch on to and lift Marisa up off the couch by her ankles. Not very far up! But enough for Flandre to actually need to stand up straight.]
stardustreverie: (Wink)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2015-07-18 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[It might work! Marisa closes her eyes for the moment, actually trying for a moment before reopening them up and shaking her head. No amount of suprise or worry on her face]

Was worth a shot at the very least. Nothin' yet but it might take longer then this. Or a bung of upside down people ta think it over. Although that'll take a lot of people who are willin' ta hang upside down.

[It's a thought. Probably a idea that will get her in trouble again but still!]
jolie_aile: (Yes I'm sure the weather is nice today)

[personal profile] jolie_aile 2015-07-18 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not being a very good bat, Marisa.

[Flandre still didn't want to talk about the news. So she just carried on the conversation while hanging her friend upside down like nothing was out of the ordinary.

Normal friend behavior!
]
stardustreverie: (Laughing)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2015-07-20 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'm solar powered. Can't be a bat like that. More like a cat if anythin'

[Hey, she's for it. Anything to get her out of the scowling funk the news could put her in at any given time. It's almost enough for her to avoid the TV all together.

Marisa lets out a meow, as if teasing.
]

Besides, I can't see in the dark that well anyways.
jolie_aile: (This is somewhat silly)

[personal profile] jolie_aile 2015-07-20 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe a fruit bat? Or a plant-

[Flandre bursts out laughing and can't finish her sentence. Marisa please.]

If you needed me to hold your hand you could have just asked.
stardustreverie: (Wink)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2015-07-25 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Joining in the laughter with a wide grin. Reimu, there will be random meowing in training. GOOD LUCK.]

I can handle a little blindness...'sides ya needed your hands free just as badly. If needed I could always let out a flash of light.

Besides, Cat. Meow.
jolie_aile: (Yes I'm sure the weather is nice today)

[The entire team probably knows whenever Flandre is cursing in French because she got frustrated at something; fair was fair.]

That'll just blind me instead, Marisa.
stardustreverie: (I've heard this before...)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2015-07-25 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
Not if I warn ya ta cover your eyes first!

[One of these days Marisa will probably let out a string of curses she learned from her teacher..which who knew what half of it was.]

Of course, I'd probably blind myself too so there's that too.
jolie_aile: (Default)

[personal profile] jolie_aile 2015-07-25 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[As long as she doesn't start sneezing fire!]

And if I don't hear you for how much shouting you do otherwise?

[She's not serious.

But has also neglected to put Marisa down.
]
stardustreverie: (Gotcha!)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2015-07-25 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[No promises!]

I gotta keep it mixed in or else whoever else we want it ta effect won't know what's goin' on until it's too late.

[Well, even with that Marisa's face is getting red. Although she's ignoring it. because why not.]
jolie_aile: (Yes I'm sure the weather is nice today)

[personal profile] jolie_aile 2015-07-25 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'll ask you to guide me around like a seeing-eye dog. If I don't swat you first.

[Flandre seems oblivious.]
stardustreverie: (Why yes I'm the best!)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2015-07-25 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, if that's goin' on I don't think there is a service mutant vest for that purpose. Unless there is one somewhere here...Huh. That sounds like something ta look for.
jolie_aile: (look you can actually see her eyes)

[personal profile] jolie_aile 2015-07-26 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
What, something in blaze orange with 'Do Not Touch' on it?
stardustreverie: (Content)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2015-07-26 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Somethin' like that. It has ta be somewhere right?

[After a moment...]

Hey...ya mind puttin' me down? I think I'm losin' all the blood from everywhere else ta my head.
jolie_aile: (what no stahp)

[personal profile] jolie_aile 2015-07-26 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
What?

[-shit]

-oh! I'm sorry--

[And hurriedly putting Marisa sown--not fast enough that she dropped her, but fairly quickly nevertheless.]
stardustreverie: (Eh?)

[personal profile] stardustreverie 2015-07-29 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[After she's put down, Marisa rolls to the floor and sits up. Give her a moment be because bloodrush.]

It's alright. Not like worse hasn't been done in trainin'!
