OPEN | Tonight the foxes hunt the hounds

[backwordscompatible]

Characters: Zatanna & Open
Date: Early September
Location: Mu-Hao to start, though mostly just around Keelai
Situation: Revenge is a dish best served cold; as such, Zatanna enlists her favorite partner in crime to get back at Wan before making a run for it.  In the meantime, catching up with some of the current Turtle population.

Warnings/Rating: None


She wasn't entirely sure when a single challenge had turned into an all-out prank war, but she was pretty sure it had something to do with Wan using his then-secret nature of technically-Korra-even-though-not-actually-Korra to get past her room Wards.  Rude.

It was perfect.  He had snuck into her room, so she would simply keep him out of his.  For a little while, anyway.  Jack had been all too eager to help her, because of course he was.  Setup took minutes.  They only had to wait until he was long gone for the morning.  A thick block of ice covering his door, and a second blocking the window.  He was, in essence, frozen out of his room until the ice melted.

From there, she quickly decided a clean escape while she had the chance was best.  She would return to the scene of the crime later, for sure, but in the meantime, she was suddenly up for a nice, long stroll around the city.

And if someone just so happened to catch her in yet another fit of laughter, well...depending upon who it was, she might be up for explaining over a milkshake.  Preferably chocolate.  With extra whipped cream.

She'd earned it, after all.



((ooc: general mingle for anybody who wants to run into a giddy Zee pretty much anywhere around the city.  Just specify in any starter threads and I'll roll with things~))

[She's a sixteen-year-old, hormonal teenager who had spent the afternoon with her boyfriend talking about their magic together...what do you think she's thinking of?]

You said you wanted to watch the other thing I was up to today.

[onethirdthesoul]

[Oh no. He's completely unsuspecting.]

I did? [He had meant the door freezing, but now that he thinks about it the way he said it could be easily misunderstood.] What was the other thing?

[Ryou, stop. Ryou, no.]

[backwordscompatible]

[He asked.]

I was on a date. With Jack.

My boyfriend.

[Hint, hint.]

1/?

[onethirdthesoul]

[A date?! Ah shoot, he didn't mean to pry--]

2/?

[onethirdthesoul]

[--WITH JACK?!]

3/3

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ryou awkwardly clears his throat after a moment.]

Uh...the one who lives here? The Jack-kun that still believes in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus?

[If it is, he'll make a mental note to always knock before entering.]

[backwordscompatible]

Yeah.

[Stated so matter of factly it almost came out in a duh tone.]

There a problem with that?

[onethirdthesoul]

N-no! Not at all.

[Ryou places his hands together and smiles.] Jack-kun is nice, I'm happy for you.

[He's just kind of weird, with that whole Tooth Fairy thing.]

[backwordscompatible]

[...well, at least this was going better than her conversation with Wan had. Although that wasn't saying much.]

Glad you two get along.

I wouldn't want things around here to get awkward.

[onethirdthesoul]

Eheh, yeah... [He rubs the back of his head, everything a little more awkward than before.]

It just surprised me! But we haven't talked much, so I still have a lot to learn about all of you.

[backwordscompatible]

Oh, there's plenty to learn, alright.

And I wouldn't want to spoil it all in one sitting. Always leave the audience wanting more, y'know?

[onethirdthesoul]

I guess so! It's not like we won't have plenty of time for that. [Considering they lived together, which Ryou still hasn't quite gotten used to the idea of.]

So I guess I won't spoil everything about myself either! Hehe. [He has a lot more to spoil than she might think.]

[backwordscompatible]

[She rarely doubted anybody's ability to have little tidbits in their pasts to spoil.]

Is that a challenge?

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ryou has all the tidbits. Albeit most of them aren't particularly happy...]

Ohh? If you want it to be! Then the winner has to buy the other lunch!

[backwordscompatible]

Sure.

[How they would actually go about determining a winner, she wasn't quite sure, but...hey, free lunch!]

[onethirdthesoul]

Then it's game on!

[He has no idea how they're going to determine a winner either...]
