Rumia is standing at the front door, knocking steadily. It doesn't look like she's going to stop any time soon. >Ambiance<:. The door suddenly swings open inward, revealing a very tired-looking Marisa. Her hat is on crooked and her hair looks very unkempt, as if she had just woken up. Rumia:. Marisaaaaa! Rumia has a bright smiling face stuck on her... face. She seems very glad to see Marisa. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Yawwwwwwwn. What's up... uh... Rumia?" Marisa says, looking slightly annoyed at being woke up, but that seems to be fading away quickly. "Whatcha want?" Rumia:. I want you to teach me your strongest skill! Rumia:. Like Rumia:. Really strongest! Marisa_Kirisame yawns again, still a bit slow to think. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Strongest... skill? That'd be magic." Rumia puts a hand on Marisa's shoulder and looks into Marisa's eyes Rumia:. Don't worry, you can trust with your secret skill, I'm strong! Marisa_Kirisame:. "Wha? I don't think ya can use magic, Rumia." Marisa_Kirisame only seems confused. Rumia:. Of course I can! I need you to be strongest though! Please teach me! Rumia puts both hands on Marisa's shoulders, and stares her in the eye... Though she's a bit short, which killed the atmosphere Rumia tried to create. Marisa_Kirisame:. "....Why don't ya come on on and I'll make ya some tea. I'm a bit... yawwwwwwwn... drowsy." Rumia jumps and makes a squeaky 'Yay', then follows Marisa inside the house. Rumia:. So, are we going to start? I'm going to be the strongest! Marisa_Kirisame gets out some stuff for making tea with, hanging a teapot over her Mini-Hakkero, which is emitting a fire. Rumia sits down in a chair, but is unable to sit still. The chair squeaks as Rumia tilts it back and forth. Marisa_Kirisame doesn't take long to make the tea, and gives Rumia a cup of it, drinking down a cup herself. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Wah, that's much better!" Marisa says, looking a lot less tires nearly instantly. Rumia takes the tea and gulps a whole cups of tea, trying to imitate Marisa, which resulted in a burnt tongue Rumia:. Blah! hot! HOT! Rumia falls out of her chair and runs around in a circle around the table. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Whoooa there, settle down." Marisa says, catching Rumia mid-circle. Rumia settles down a little, though her tongue is still hurting. Then turns and looks at Marisa again, eyes a little teary from getting a burnt tongue, but still trying to look reliable. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Alright, first off, I can't teach ya magic. Simply can't. I dunno how, I have a hard enough time learnin' this stuff myself, ze." Rumia:. But you learned it! So can I! Trust me! Marisa_Kirisame:. "Second off, ya can't learn magic in a day! Took me mosta' my life ta get me as good as I am!" Rumia thinks for a second, then thinks some more. she doesn't say anything for a bit Rumia:. I know! I'll make you a deal! I'll do something for you, and you teach me magic! It's like one of those... uhh... Mother and daughter things... Rumia:. (What am I saying?) Marisa_Kirisame gives Rumia a curious look, and struggles to stifle a laugh. Rumia:. ...Why are you making a funny face? Marisa_Kirisame:. "You thinkin' of movin in with me now? Wahahaha! That'd be funny to think about! What were ya thinkin' of givin' me in exchange?" Rumia sits down and starts to think, which is looking like it's taking up a lot of energy. Rumia:. (I don't know... what does a human need anyways? I don't think she eats humans... does she? Ahhhhhhhhhh...) Rumia smiles and looks at Marisa, still trying to figure out what to do. Rumia:. Umm... is there... anything I can help with? Marisa_Kirisame looks up and sighs for a moment. "Probably not, really. I've been living out here in the forest for forever now, haven't had any trouble yet. Sorry ta' burst yer bubble. 	Rumia flops her face onto the table, not too happy with the answer. But then pops up again suddenly  Rumia:.	I GOT IT!  Rumia:.	...... Sorry... I was hoping to think of something while I shouted I got it...  Rumia:.	I... I'll help you... cook... something...  Rumia:.	Yes... I... am a geat... uhh... Lamprey eel... cook...  	Marisa_Kirisame chuckles a bit. "I might be able to whip up a potion or somethin', but this isn't a charity I'm runnin' ya know."  Rumia:.	Huh? What potion?  Marisa_Kirisame:.	"I dunno, maybe somethin' ta make ya physically stronger? I got lotsa potions, although none of them will make you shoot Master Sparks." Rumia:.	Master Sparks... where have I heard that before...  Rumia:.	Oh yeah! Thats that thing, that thing I wanted you to teach me! That boom thing! How do you do that?  	Marisa_Kirisame thinks for a moment but her thinking is interrupted with that comment. She gives Rumia a look of embarassment. "Yes, it's the giant laser."  Rumia:.	How do you do that? I have to know! Pleeeeeeeeeeease!  Marisa_Kirisame:.	"First of all, to do that I need my mini-hakkero." She goes over and picks it up from where she left it to make the tea. "These things are pretty rare, though, and they're tough ta use."  	Rumia looks at the Hakkero curiously, not sure what a box can do to help shoot giant lasers.  Rumia:.	What is that?  Marisa_Kirisame:.	"It's a like... hmmm.. it's like a big magic oven." Rumia:.	Well... what does this have to do with the Laser Spark? Bleh... I want to know how you shoot a giant laser.  	Rumia does a pose to look like she's shooting a Master Spark.  Marisa_Kirisame:.	"I add a bit of powder I mix up beforehand using those mushrooms over there..." Marisa points to her workdesk. "...And then I concentrate on someone I don't like and blast their head off"  Rumia:.	Magic... It's so mysterious... hmm  	Rumia nods in agreement with herself.  Marisa_Kirisame:.	"Best I can do fer ya' is a potion... or maybe some of my special concotions of magic powder."  	Rumia looks around, and comes up with yet another idea. Pointing to some of the books on the ground, asks Can I borrow a book?  	Marisa_Kirisame comes full stop for a second, before suddenly breaking into a fit of laughter.  Rumia:.	What's so funny?! I can... can't... read...  Rumia:. Don't worry! I'll find one with lots of pictures and have my friends help me figure it out! I just need one of those books! Marisa_Kirisame:. "Wahahaha! Reminded me of how I got those books in the first place! Wahahaha!" Marisa has to stop for a momnent to wipe off a tear before laughing again. Rumia:. Wha... Rumia is thoroughly confused. Marisa_Kirisame slows down the laugh. "Waaaaah, it's nothing. You just made me think about myself for a second." Rumia:. ((Rumia and the Magic Squad lol, I wonder if Mystia knows how to read)) Marisa_Kirisame:. "You don't look like the type books would work well with." Rumia:. ((And I just realized how funny borrowing a book from Marisa is.)) Marisa_Kirisame:. ((hence why she laughed)) Rumia:. I... I can figure it out! I'm going to be the strongest! I have friends to help, too! Rumia:. Hey! Don't underestimate me! I'm actually really smart! Marisa_Kirisame:. "I don't mind ya borrowing a book, actually, but I don't know how much help it'll be." Rumia:. It'll be really, really, really, REALLY, helpful! Please! I won't ever forget this favor! Marisa_Kirisame:. "Sure... uhhh... lemmie find something that'll suit yer fancy." Marisa_Kirisame starts digging around through her piles of books, searching for one Rumia could possibly enjoy. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ya lookin to learn any kinda magic in particular? I don't think my light magic would go well with 'yer powers." Rumia:. The strongest!... something... like that stuff that goes boom! Rumia actually doesn't know what she wanted to learn Marisa_Kirisame:. "Buncha magic does that!" Marisa calls out from her searching. "Name somethin ya like about the outdoors." Rumia:. Hmm... I like... I like the tasty people that run around once in a while... and, and stars, and birds... and... flying around at night, I love the night and everything and stuff... I like, like, like playing with my friends in the dark, like hide and seek! Marisa_Kirisame makes an "Mmmph" noise, not really aided by what Rumia said. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ya use darkness powers, right?" Marisa says, still searching. "Anything you can't do with that that you wanna do?" Rumia:. I... I want to make really big beams like you do! Marisa_Kirisame:. "Beams 'a darkness? That sounds like it'd be pretty advanced as far as magic." Rumia:. But you make it look so easy to do! Just, like, "Aaaahhhh! SPARK!" like. I want to do that! Marisa_Kirisame:. "It's easy for me because I'm pretty tough, ze!" Rumia:. I'm also strong! Can you just tell me what I can do to send everyone flying? So no one will ever beat me up again? Marisa_Kirisame gives a concerned look, but her back is to Rumia because she's still looking in her piles. Rumia walks towards Marisa and looks over her shoulder at the things she's flipping through. >Ambiance<:. It's a bunch of books of all titles and subjects. Marisa is currently flipping through a book of some basic darkness magic, but the pictures all look like stuff Rumia can already do. Rumia:. What are you looking for? >Ambiance<:. In fact, the book even has a few scribbles of a Rumia-looking person showing examples of the spells being cast Rumia:. Hey... that looks like me, what is that? Marisa_Kirisame:. "Book o' magic of basic dark magic like you do." Marisa says, before realizing she had scribbled Rumia into some of the pictures. "Ah, I drew those in later." Rumia:. Remember when you asked me what I wanted to do with my power that I can't do? Marisa_Kirisame:. "Yeah. That was just a few seconds ago." Rumia:. I want to be like you, you never get beat up by anyone, you can make all the wierd thing stop happening. I want to be like you Rumia:. Just give me something you think'll be useful, I'm sure I'll make use of it no matter what. Marisa_Kirisame looks up from her book to give Rumia a warm smile. "Hmmm, that's pretty nice of ya to say, even if ya are a youkai." Marisa_Kirisame:. "Well, let's see here. I don't think this darkness magic book will help ya much, and I don't think you'd like light magic, or fire magic..." Rumia:. Well... what about something like... what other magics are there? Marisa_Kirisame:. "All sorts. If ya can think of it, there's probably a magic for it." Rumia:. Then what about rocks and swords and stuff! Stuff that's tough! Marisa_Kirisame:. "Sounds like earth magic." Marisa comments, digging around for a book on the subject. "Should have one or two books of those around here." Rumia:. (I don't know what I can do with dirt... but if she's this strong, I'm sure it'll be useful) Marisa_Kirisame:. "I still don't think it'd suit ya to well... any other subjects you'd be interested in?" Marisa_Kirisame is digging through a different stack of books. Rumia:. Umm...... really really hard things that I can use to not get beat up. Marisa_Kirisame stops to think for a moment. "Hmmmm..." Marisa_Kirisame:. "I think I got just the thing!" Marisa says, getting an idea. "Gotta find that book though..." Marisa_Kirisame gets up and looks around before she gets a grin on her face, remembering where the book is. Rumia becomes excited again because she sees hope that Marisa will teach her something. Or at least give her something to learn from. Marisa_Kirisame goes to a rather pile of books and sticks her hand deep in it, feeling around for a bit before pulling a book out with a bluegreen cover. This action sends the pile of books toppling all over the floor, but Marisa shrugs and mutters "I'll clean it up later." Marisa_Kirisame:. "Here ya are. Basics of it shouldn't be too tough." Marisa says, handing Rumia a book titled "The Book of Barriers" Marisa_Kirisame:. "It's full 'a spells for magic shields and the like." Rumia takes the book, her eyes sparkle as she stares at the cover, which she knows says The book of Barriers because Marisa told her. Rumia:. Thank you so much! Marisa_Kirisame:. "No giant lasers in there, but ya won't get beat up with spells like that, at least... if ya can keep the magic workin, anyway." Rumia hops happily to the door and says Thanks again as she walks out Marisa_Kirisame stops to call out "Hey wait!" Rumia stops and turns around Rumia:. Huh? Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ah, I'm feelin generous today so I'll give ya somethin else that's nice." Marisa says with a smile. Rumia wonders what Marisa is talking about and walks over to her. Rumia:. What something else? Marisa_Kirisame runs to her desk to grab a small book, then goes over to her shelf of magic powders to grab a cup-sized jar. Rumia is curious as to what Marisa is doing and follows her around the room as she does it. Rumia:. What is all that stuff for? Marisa_Kirisame:. "Now, ya gotta be real careful with this." Marisa says, handing her the jar. It's full of solid black powder, and there's a crude drawing of Marisa flying out of an explosion, with a big red square around it, like a warning. Rumia:. Okay! Got it. There won't be a problem Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ah, also, in exchange..." Marisa says, opening up her book and flipping through it. Rumia:. Yes? Marisa_Kirisame finds the page and puts it up to Rumia's face. It's a picture of a solid black mushroom with a spherical cap. "If ya find a mushroom that looks like this, pick it and come find me so I can make another batch." Rumia:. Don't worry! you can leave it to me! Marisa_Kirisame:. "If ya get into a pinch, throw the jar at someone and you'll get a neat light show and a quick escape." Marisa_Kirisame:. ((As in, the contents of the jar will explode)) Rumia:. Neat, I'll keep that in mind. Marisa_Kirisame:. "It'll pack a big punch, though, so make sure you're clear out a range when ya toss it, ze." Rumia:. Got it, thanks Marisa. Marisa_Kirisame:. (I wonder why I'm helping out a human-eating youkai so much) Rumia turns around and resumes skipping towards the outside. Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ah, maybe you'll put up a fight next time I wanna duel, wahaha! See ya around!" Rumia turns around and smiles Rumia:. I'll be the strongest! Marisa_Kirisame:. "Ya sound like that ice fairy!" Marisa calls out with another laugh. "Good luck with that magic, and don't eat the book!" Rumia slowly flies away, she said something after that, but it was too far for anyone to hear.
