sacredchants | 🐝 kano catch-all

[ card it's physical affection effects week.... is he really wanting to have his face that close to her's. sounds dangerous. ]

I, I don't know. We've barely met.

[ Naru it's 2am, do you think I remembered about physical affection effects week ]

Aw, what's that matter? You know what they say about first impressions~

[ LKJSEKJRW WELL I'M HERE TO REMIND YOU. either way, she's. not gonna get any closer to him...to spare both of us this. ]

No, what do they say about first impressions?

[ Kano grins and leans in a little closer, because it is 2am and all care has already gone to bed. ]

To go with them! Believe in your gut feeling!

[ And if your gut is going ugh, then that is the right reaction to have. ]

[ her gut reaction is to go UGH but at the same time, she doesn't want to lose to him like this, so she's going to stay her ground. if they're going to play chicken with this then they will.

how much closer is kano gonna get? izumo is gonna call his bluff. ]

Here I thought it was to make a good one.

[ He does not get any closer... but chicken means the onus is on Izumo to make the next advance. ]

Didn't I make a good one? And here I was, thinking I did a lot better than with everybody else!

[ card, i'm making you play chicken with me or so help me. also until i get a definitive answer on my plurk, i shall continue to play chicken w/you. ]

If anything you're continuing your bad impression.

[ Oh my god. ]

What? How? I'm offering myself to you!

[ A whole 9% of his body, wow ]

[ YOU VOTED YES SO I HOPE YOU'RE READY FOR WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.....

either way, thanks for the comment, she'll be shoving him in the face but also pulling him closer because my votes look bleak. ]

D, don't word it that way!

[ BWAHH-- he gets shoved in the face but that's ineffective when his arm's still connected. ]

Pft, hahaha... Then, how 'bout I give the rest of me to you too?

[ THE VOTES WERE "YES". i'm crying card. why. WHY. THIS WASN'T WHAT I WANTED...... ]

I, if you're going to keep saying things like that, you better mean it.

[ me, never trusting other people to vote............... ]

I sure do mean it. Want me to prove it?

[ card??? ???? ???

but i guess. let's...go............... closes all of my eyes. ]

Sure, go for it. Show me how much you mean it.

[ Kano pops his arm off

jk

Naru I stared out the window and dissociated for literally two minutes.

Kano leans in and places a kiss on Izumo's forehead THIS DOES NOT COUNT ]

[ i'm glad.

so glad....i refuse to go down suffering during this adventure which is to also say that i am going to have to decide if i want this to escalate to the point where it would be actually reported or just. leave it as is....... which is to say, uh. (flips a coin.)

she's going to place her free hand on her forehead where he leaned in and kissed her face burning red. ]

Wh, what was that?

[ WHY DIDN'T SHE PULL AWAY?! GIVE HIM HIS ARM BACK!! ]

You asked for it, alright?!

[ I FLIPPED A COIN. ]

I didn't ask you to.. [ yeah, she's still holding onto his arm and just yanking on him, apparently. dear god they're like the same size so she's just... up in his space now. ] to—

[ i'm begging. ]

Wh, why my forehead!

Did you want me to kiss somewhere else??

[ THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME HEIGHT SO THE ONLY OTHER PLACE THAT'S RIGHT THERE IS

YOU KNOW

you know..... yeah............ okay

Kano leans forward and kisses Izumo on the lips, bECAUSE SHE INSISTED ]

[ i guess it was my turn to look into the great abyss and understand the choices that i took to bring me to this point in time. i must never forget that this happened. for it did. SHE WASN'T INSISTING BUT. this is fine. it's part of the game lore now......

( insert izumo screaming )

thanks for taking her first kiss, kano. now you must take responsibility for it... which also means cue izumo finally letting go of kano's arm and flinging herself backwards just enough to shove him on the ground.

( insert more izumo screaming )

....for a change of pace insert izumo curling up into a ball—now also on the ground—while turning as red as can be because WOW HER FIRST KISS!!!! TERRIBLE. ]

[ They're on the stairs and Kano just fucking falls backwards and tumbles down half a flight of stairs, RIP ]

[ me constantly forgetting their on the stairs so fucking rest in pieces kano.

...except no, izumo will not be that heartless as to let him fall to his death. kind of. she'll run down the stairs to check up on how he's doing.

eventually.

so, uh, enjoy your fall as she watches this all take place in some sort of out-of-body way. ]

[ Oof. It's been a while since every part of his body hurt, but Kano just lies at the bottom of the stairs and stares up at the sky. He doesn't cry out, or cry in general, just sort of lies there and stares and then picks himself off the ground, turning his arms over to check out the new bruises he'll be accumulating.

He has a split lip and can taste blood in his mouth and just sorts of licks at the back sides of his teeth to see if any are loose. Head injury? Unclear. If he can stand then it can't be that bad. ]

[ closes my eyes.

this thread is going so many places and oh boy doesn't izumo wish she would have reacted in order to catch him before he fell because now she has to deal with this. something that was totally in her court and her fault. terrible.

she'll be rushing down the stairs to his side but won't stand closer than within a foot of him. ]

I— [ what is the first thing that should come out of her mouth? ] I'm sorry.

[ she brings her hands in front of her hesitantly and unsure if she should touch him anymore after this. ]

Do... Would you let me help you?

Mm...

[ He's quiet, staring at nothing and not looking at Izumo, contemplative more than anything, like he's trying to figure something out but thinking hurts too much and so he just shakes his head in the end, which makes the room spin so he stops that too.

A sigh.

And he puts the smile back on his face. ]

Nope, no need~ There's nothing to be sorry about and nothing to help! You didn't do anything wrong. I told you, didn't I? If you hate me so much, you can do what you just did. It's okay.

[ SIGHS CARD NOW I HAVE TO FIX THE OTHER THREAD GOD.

his reply has her fluctuates between being furious with herself, worried for him, and furious with him. what the hell!! why is he just standing there like that? what's up with that reaction?

why is he smiling!! ]

That doesn't mean I can't still help you. [ she clenches her fists by her side. ] And don't go putting words in my mouth; I didn't say that I hated you.

[ yet, she's not saying she likes him because that's a lie and someone should only have so much to say. ]

What's your problem anyway? Shouldn't you be mad at me?
