Summary: CANDY RAVE PARTY IS GO!
The Story:


"At exactly midnight on the 19th, the mansion becomes a club where the party never stops--even if you want it to. Neon and black lights flicker everywhere and loud music makes the walls shake. Outside, Wonderland has become a grungy city of doorless buildings, lit up in neon that makes it impossible to make out any stars in the sky. The only normal fixture of Wonderland that remains are the merchants, though residents will find them changed. Their masks are the faces of animals, their booths are run down, and they'll swindle, scam, and even steal from you if you don't watch out.

But that's not all. What rave would be complete without candy? It's all over the place, littering every surface, in all shapes and colors. The floors are littered with empty wrappers that tempt you: everyone else is doing it, so it can't hurt to have a piece. Right? ♥

And it doesn't! Not at first, anyway. At first, it's quite pleasant, inducing cheerful, playful, laid back moods in anyone who consumes it. It's quite addictive once you've had a taste, but there seems to be plenty to go around."

Then the post says something about changes when the 20th rolls around. But today is not the 20th, so who cares? IT'S PARTY TIME!

After his observation of Yuu, the Medicine Seller has begun to form his suspicions about the candy.

"I have," he lies. He doesn't reply to the jab about his usual clothing; it's a tool of his trade, and that's all.

Kura's smirk is anything but pleasant, although he looks perfectly relaxed. He was one of the people who became crueler when he was happy.

"We do not think you have. You would not be a liar, now would you?"

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

The Medicine Seller is very, very practiced at lying. When he wants to, he can even do it convincingly, not missing a beat.

"Of course not. Has... Your Majesty been enjoying them, then?"

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

"Enough that we would like to share."

He smiles lazily. "Which candies have you tried then?" He twirls a piece in his fingers, eying the mysterious man.

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

"...Your generosity... overwhelms."

In all seriousness, he's getting creeper vibes even bigger than his own, which is saying something, and that means it's probably time for a tactical retreat, once he finds a smooth way to excuse himself.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you might want to do that, because the master creeper is advancing on you, still grinning.

"Come, try a piece."

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

"I'm afraid... I've already ruined my appetite."

He backs away from Kura, ostensibly just to maintain his personal space.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

"We insist, we can do that, you know."

Still advancing.

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

"You can. As much... as you like."

Until you're blue in the face, but he's going to keep slipping out of the way, so casually you'd almost swear it wasn't on purpose.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

... Screw that, he's grabbing for you! And you would not believe how fast you get after training with a sword for 500 years.

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

That's unexpected. The Medicine Seller is used to more self-control from Kura, which truly says something about Kura's state now. However, he's been fighting for a long-ass time himself, and it's doubtful that he was ever so slow or clumsy as an average human. He sidesteps, bringing his hand up to block... with not his sheathed sword, but a glowstick. Well. It's not as though the sword's that much more use against people who aren't mononoke. He can work with this.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

Even high, Kura has enough self control to not summon the Nox Light. He sidesteps the glowstick, aiming a kick at the MS's legs and trying to pin him down.

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

"I think... Your Majesty is beside his wits," the Medicine Seller says, voice calm and respectful-but-not-quite as ever.

And he steps over the kick and goes for the nearest convenient pressure point.

Which normal peddlers totally know all about.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

The Nox is going to react instinctively to stop that, but Kura is off balance enough that he can't make an effective counterattack right away.

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

"...I will... be taking my leave."

He moves to do so.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

"No, we object."

Kura pounce!

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

The Medicine Seller tries to step out of the way again, mildly annoyed at Kura's persistence.

"...I must... insist."

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

"We do not permit you to insist."

Screw this, a black tendril shoots out of almost nowhere and tried to grab him while Kura is trying to pin him again.

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

Shit. Wasn't expecting that.

The Medicine Seller is grabbed, but does his level best to stay upright and push Kura away from himself.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

Kura is going to try to overbear and either knock him down or pin him against a wall if he can.

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

The Medicine Seller really relies on speed and the element of surprise--he's not in bad shape or anything, but he's... small. Smallish for a pre-modern Japanese guy, sort of small. Already semi-restrained by Kura's weapon, he chooses not to make an undignified struggle, adopting a bored look as he gets pushed to the wall.

"Your Majesty is... quite forward today."

When in doubt, push people's buttons. They get stupid and leave openings.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, Kura is too high to be mad at anything or anyone. He just grins.

"It's time for your medicine~"

And he picks up a piece of candy and starts unwrapping it.

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

He keeps his mouth quite firmly shut, waiting patiently for a good moment to break away.

[gotyourhair.livejournal.com]

MS is not the only one who can be obnoxiously patient, Kura is going to try to force his mouth open to feed him the candy.

"Now, didn't you say you had eaten some already?"

[tadanokusuriuri.livejournal.com]

The Medicine Seller bares his teeth.
