Who: Inoue Orihime (lies_the_heart) & Magus (zealous_prince)
What: Show and tell (I mean abilities people!)
When: 2/14
Where: Uhhh...yet to be determined
Summary: Orihime offered to show Magus her ShunShun Rikka and he offered to show off some of his magic.
Rating: None for now.



Orihime closed her notebook and stashed it away. Running a brush quickly through her hair before she slipped from her room. She couldn't figure out why she felt so excited and nervous at the same time. Maybe it was because she hadn't tried to use her abilities since her arrival.

The auburn haired girl waited patiently outside the building she now called home as she waited for Magus. When she first talked to him he seemed a little scary but now she didn't think so. He actually seemed really nice! Kind of like some of the Arrancar...although they were still rough with her.

Magus hadn't had anything to get excited about since first coming to Luceti. Some of the people here might have been interesting, but he'd always been too distracted by the lingering thoughts of escaping and finding Schala to care. The fact that he didn't have anyone here that he recognized didn't exactly help.

He'd only checked on the young girl named Inoue Orihime out of a vague feeling of duty. He had been one of the first to greet her, after all, so he had an obligation to make sure she was alright. But she'd proven rather interesting... this power of hers, he'd wanted to see more of it. And he'd wanted to talk to her more as well.

So it was that he found himself striding up to her just outside the building she'd taken to living in. He hadn't seen her in person before, but the picture from the laptop was easy to recognize. "Nice to see you in person, Miss Inoue."

As Magus approached, Orihime stepped away from the building smiling warmly at him. "Same, Magus-san."

Clasping her hands behind her back she looked around. She still didn't know her way around that much so she wasn't sure where a good place to show off her abilities.

"So where to?" she asked, turning to look back up at him.

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

Magus considered that for a moment. "Hmmm... We'll need some space, especially for me to show you most of what I can do. I hear there's a lake nearby."

[lies-the-heart.livejournal.com]

"Oh, a lake sounds nice. You have been here longer than I have so I'm sure you have a better idea of where it is, right?" she replied before looking one way then the other. She knew which way the mountain was but she wasn't sure about the lake.

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

"I haven't been there myself, let me think for a moment..." Magus lifted his hand to his chin and stroked it, considering. Where was that lake supposed to be... "Ah yes, now I remember. This way." Confidently, he turned to lead the way.

She giggled lightly and followed after him. "I hadn't noticed the snow was beginning to melt. Kind of sad...I was hoping to enjoy it more."

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure whether to be used to it or not. There wasn't any snow where I used to live, but I often went to places where there was." Wait, why was he telling her that? Oh well, it wasn't like that was one of his (admittedly many) secrets or anything.

[lies-the-heart.livejournal.com]

"No snow where you lived? That doesn't sound very fun. I'd been stuck in Las Noches and while everything is white there there's no snow. I wonder how they all dealt with everything being so white? I wasn't there long but I found it boring...aha...not that I didn't have other things to worry abo-" she stopped talking, looking down at her feet as she walked. "Ahaha...sorry I talk too much sometimes."

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

"Mmmm, it reminds me of someone I know." This was true, though how well Magus could say he knew Lucca was debatable. "As for your thoughts... I suppose it depends on the people in question. Perhaps they just really liked white. I'd agree with you though. A bit of color is nice." Considering his outfit, it probably wasn't a surprise he felt that way.

Orihime thought for a moment, it felt like much longer than it had been since her brother had died. "Six years now...Nii-san died not long after I turned ten." she looks down, clasping her hands together over her chest before she looks up again, a soft smile on her face. "But I know he's in a better place now and he got to say goodbye to me. He wasn't mad because of the fight we had had."

She raises a hand and brushes her fingers again one of the hair clips. "He was the one that gave these to me. I wasn't alone though, he looked after me and I had Tatsuki-chan as well. Oh...I'm sure she's really worried about me."

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

"Ah, so you had an older sibling to look out for you as well..." he looked off into the distance, sighing softly. "I haven't seen my sister for twenty years now."

"Tatsuki-chan? A friend?"

[lies-the-heart.livejournal.com]

"Yes. I don't really remember my parents but Nii-san said they weren't very nice." The auburn haired girl made her way over and placed a hand on his arm staying silent for a moment before she spoke again.

"Mhhm. She kept the bullies away from me and taught me karate. She's really strong and kind."

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

"My father passed away when I was young. My mother was kind... until something awful happened to her mind. By the time we were separated, she wasn't the woman who had raised Schala and me anymore..." He shook his head, but blinked at the feel of her hand on his arm. It brought a little smile to his face.

"Bullies, hmm? I can see how getting some martial arts training would have been helpful."

[lies-the-heart.livejournal.com]

A small frown appeared on her face as he spoke. "How sad..." she said softly, giving his arm a bit of a squeeze. She couldn't imagine such a thing.

"They picked on me because of my hair...they even cut it off. But that was so long ago I don't have to worry about them anymore."

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

He shook his head. "No worse than your story, really."

"Your hair? That's quite possibly the stupidest reason to attack someone I've ever heard... and heard quite a few."

[lies-the-heart.livejournal.com]

"Well...my hair is a bit of an unnatural color back home. Tatsuki-chan said they were just jealous."

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

"Heh. They'd have been downright horrified by mine." He laughed, tucking a few strands of stray blue-white behind his ears.

[lies-the-heart.livejournal.com]

Orihime nodded and began to look around as well. After a bit of searching she found the chocolate bars and began to go through them. "Hmm...dark or milk? Maybe some of both. Which do you prefer Magus-san?" she asked turning to him.

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

"I always liked the darker ones best." he responded, looking over the selection. "Hmmm... what's with these white ones?"

[lies-the-heart.livejournal.com]

"Hmm...I'll just get both." she replied dropping them into the bag. "Huh? Oh...white chocolate...although its not really chocolate if I remember correctly. But we can use it to decorate the other chocolates. Oh! Food coloring would be wonderful, some pink and red to mix with the white chocolate!"

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

"White chocolate, hmmm?" Noticing a spare piece that had drifted out of one of the bags, he popped it into his mouth for a taste-test. As he chewed on it, he noticed the food coloring and some powdered sugar nearby. He snatched them up.

She giggles softly as she watches him. "Alright, we just need some fruits, nuts and molds."

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

"Fruits and nuts'll have their own sections. I don't know where we're going to find molds though. Those are good."

[lies-the-heart.livejournal.com]

"Okay, let's get those then...hmm. Does this market sell kitchen tools?"

[zealous-prince.livejournal.com]

"Don't know. Let's have a look around. We need to find the produce aisle and the nuts anyway."
