Oh but don't bowl me over [open to all!]

[showsnopiety]

Who: Caren and everyone taking this job!
When: 05/05 - 05/31
Where: Halls of Glory
What: Small description or summary
Rating: Ranging from G, to PG-13, to R. After all, we're not safe for work.




A: General cleaning

To those who knew Caren...it might have been a bit of a surprise. That she was so good at this. Most of the time, she seemed to laze about, not asking for much, reading and seeing about her needs, and not anyone elses.

But here, she was very earnest. Almost too much so. She had scrubbed the courtyard until her hands were raw, and now...was bare foot, and stringing up the clotheslines. Anyone coming up while she's in the midst of this gets a warning.

"I hope your shoes are clean, or you're bare foot. Otherwise, I'll have to punish you for marring up this part of the courtyard." She didn't even look at the person as she said it. She was standing on a stool, barefoot, as she put up the linens. How did she see that person? Magic?

Maybe.

B: Bulletin Board

This part of the job was almost impossible. Really. The notes were tawdry, perhaps more so due to Heaven's feel, and the fact of the matter was, it was...rather something. She kept pausing in the midst of her tearing things down, and staring at some of them.

And sometimes, she even commented.

"No woman would want such a thing. It'd hurt her back." "If it's so big, how could he even fight?" "...ah, I wasn't aware of this pairing."

And so on.

C: Armory

Some of these things made no sense for uniforms. Some of it was all sorts of sizes, for one, but she could understand...at least some of them. After all, her room mates were a great example of various diverse sizes. It was all about getting everything in the right order though. She ended up having to play the game of match the sizes, and making it into a fairly neat pile. Although...some of them, she wasn't quite so certain as to what to do with them.

With a frown, she ended up holding a uniform top. Or, in this case, not much of a top; it looked as if it was designed to show the underboob of a woman. Was there...oh. She plucked it out, and frowned, finding a man's shirt, designed the same way.

...who in the world would or could wear a shirt like that.

D: Roof

"....heh."

Caren stood on the roof, seeing all too many crows. Instead of dressed to clean, however, she was wearing what could only be refeered to as her battle attire. And there was already some monday leftovers on her leg, and some on her back. She tried to be nice about it. This was a job better someone with charm, maybe even natural charm. Instead, things were about to come to a head.

She unfurled her shawl around her.

"It seems you're ready to become target practice." If she wasn't stopped, she would start using her weapon to whack crows too and fro off the roof. Or you can help her, or watch or...even get hit by cloth or a crow. Doesn't matter to her, really.

E: Where the Glory is

She wasn't sure how there was so much art. Really, she didn't think it did anyone any good. Just a lot of gaudy pieces, some of them that were quite untrue. She had been set to taste at polishing some of the pieces. But some of them...

She took a moment to look under a leaf or two, and made a noise.

"You wish." She muttered, before going back to work.

F: Shopping list

This was not how she wanted to spend her afternoon. She had things that she wanted to do, mostly in the way of sparring. And now...there was this.

With a glower, she came up to the next person who she came across, and shoved the list their way.

"Take this. I've no idea what half of these things are, and I do not wish to go shopping. It's easy colle. Enjoy."

G: Wild card!

If you don't see anything here that works for you, feel free to come up with something else!

-It was time to straight murder some crows. Cirno was in much the same condition as Caren, having had just as much luck with peaceful methods, and now her sword was out, slammed into the ground below and already creating a large patch of ice around her. Which wouldn't effect the crows, much, but would give her plenty of room to move around swiftly.-

Wanna make a bet on who can take out the most?

[showsnopiety]

[No one was going to be able to use the roofs for awhile after this. (Though who would want to, but the bird brained themselves?). Seeing the patch of ice, Caren stepped carefully aside, as she shook out her shawl.]

No. There's no need, so long as they are taken out.

[That's Caren all right, a girl with all the right priorities. Also she didn't want to encourage Cirno to do something stupid.

Well.

More stupid then what they're doing now.]

[baka_jyanai]

You're no fun. -But Cirno didn't pout, and rather got a wild smile on her face when she began to skate towards the flock, swinging her blade out and casting forth a flurry of sleet their way, aiming to take them down in waves.-

[showsnopiety]

I've never been fun. [But she's not going to get in Cirno's way as she moves away, and starts to go through her own dance. Not that of ice and sleet, but simply snapping her shawl, inactivated, to shoo and hit crows off her section of the roof.

Though she will be keeping half an eye on Cirno. Just to make sure that the ice isn't coming her way.]

[baka_jyanai]

-As fun as it was to clear out the corvids, some of that sleet definitely did 'accidentally' make its way towards Caren. As if Cirno would forget that tussle on the airship any time soon.-

Whoops!

[showsnopiety]

[Ah. Well. It looks like two can play that game. Some of it struck her thighs, and it was rather...to say the least, chilling.]

Don't even pretend. It makes you look foolish.

[That scolding said, she's going to snap her shawl 'accidentally' at Cirno's face.]

Like so.

[baka_jyanai]

-With an obvious, shit-eating grin, Cirno sped back to dodge the shawl, spinning about in a circle until she was positioned more in front of the other.-

Fine, let's do this the real way! I challenge you to a duel of revenge!

[showsnopiety]

No thanks.

[Her answer came too swift and her wrist jerked again so she could give Cirno a whack on the legs.]

I've no need for revenge.

[baka_jyanai]

Don't sit there and pretend you don't know what you did! -Cirno leapt into an axle spin before starting to skate towards Caren, sword raised for a strike. It seemed she wasn't going to wait for Caren to accept her challenge.-

[showsnopiety]

That's not what I said.

[It looks like the crows are going to be amused a little while longer. With a sigh, Caren dips to the side, both her hands on her shawl. Looks like she might have to throw Cirno off of a high place again...]

[baka_jyanai]

-Unlike last time, this was a Cirno that had time to explore and learn her limits in this world, and since she was already rather good at moving on the ice, she adjusts her motion for Caren's counter-step with relative ease, and gets close enough to swing her sword, though its obvious weight makes it rather slow...-

[showsnopiety]

[She's good, Caren will have to admit to that. Not happily, but she'll admit it. Caren isn't used to working with ice. But she's also, as with home, not built for power. She's more for speed.

She takes another counter step, and she makes to loop her shawl around the blade, so she can drop and twist it away from Cirno.

Who knows if it would work though.]

[baka_jyanai]

-Well it worked, though not to the degree Caren probably expected, seeing as Cirno... didn't let go of the sword, and given how light she was relative to the sword, Caren how had both fairy AND blade heading her way.-

[showsnopiety]

[...Oh no. No one wants a fairy to the face. If Cirno gets close enough, she is getting a BOOT to the face.

...though if she isn't, it's just going to be slamming fairy and sword to the ground. Win win?]

[baka_jyanai]

-Never let it be said Cirno wasn't capable of improvising. Because she usually wasn't, so shut up, but this time she managed perfectly well. She caught Caren's boot to her face, but she also just straight up caught Caren's leg in the process, using a twist in her body to shift the momentum, whipping that leg around in an attempt to take the girl down with her.-

[showsnopiety]

[DIDN'T COMMENT ON IT but whatever. Looked like they were both going to go bowling for birds. There's a started cawing and a flurry of birds as both women go down. But Caren at least tries to roll and twist away from Cirno's grip or something?

Because someone might just have cold and clammy hands.]

[baka_jyanai]

-The coldest. They may have taken away a large chunk of her powers, but they didn't take away Cirno's naturally chilly body temperature. And she was holding on tight now that she had Caren, grapevining her own legs around the one she was holding and twisting the joint.-

Say uncle!

[showsnopiety]

Ow!

[Okay that hurt. THAT HURT CIRNO. Your clammy hand grip was the worst.She refused to say uncle. Instead, she flicked her wrist, and made to fling light into Cirno's eyes. That should do it. Maybe.]

[baka_jyanai]

Gah! No fair no fair! -Cirno let go to rub at her eyes, of course, releasing part of the hold, but her grapevine leg-lock held fast. This was getting awkward.-

[showsnopiety]

[Well, there's the hand. But the leg...

you know what, she's going to let go of the sword with her shawl. Untangle that. So she can loop the fabric around Cirno's neck to CHOKE A FAIRY OUT.]

[baka_jyanai]

-Cirno's hands hadn't moved, so while she was spared a choke out defeat, she now had her wrists and neck bound together, making her squawk and flail about, releasing the hold completely.-

[showsnopiety]

[Good, we didn't want a choked fairy...or a fairy on ice. With her legs free though, she moves back, taking the shawl with her, sans fairy.]

There. Have you learned your lesson?

[baka_jyanai]

-Cirno huffed, rubbing at her wrists as she glared at Caren.-

You won't get so lucky next time. You won because you cheated.

[showsnopiety]

Did I? I used my weapon and my mana.

And you tried to break, if not dislocate my leg. Get over it.

[baka_jyanai]

I didn't try to take out your eyes or choke you! That was totally cheating!
