ayano's theory of bruises - 9/19, 4:15PM

Ummmm

Is there anyone on here who’s like...good at make up that can help me...Like one of those instagram models or something...

I was clumsy enough to give myself a black eye, and I need to hide it from my parents so they don’t freak out or get the wrong idea…

[A picture of Ayano follows, purple and black underline her left eye--thankfully not particularly swollen. Even so, whatever she smashed into must have smashed into her pretty hard. She wears a weak, sheepish smile on her face despite the heavy bruise. If it weren't there, this would be a perfectly good Facebook profile picture, in fact.]

It’s not that bad, right? Silly me...
Maybe I should just do the emo hair thing...?

text, whoops pretend this isn't so late

It's not makeup, but I can do a little bit of healing magic.
I can't promise it will cure it entirely, but it should help.
Do you still need it?

[kagepuro]

healing magic

What???

[cattack]

Oh
Have you not been a member of Retrospec long?
Some people wind up learning magic from it.

[kagepuro]

I've heard of it, but never met anyone with magic powers before...

You can fix my eye?

[cattack]

I can try, anyway...
It cannot do much.
Broken bones and the like are far beyond it.
But a bruise should be doable, or at the very least, lighten it enough to make it easier.

[kagepuro]

That would actually be so helpful!

But...the idea of having magic performed on me...it's kind of unbelievable...

[cattack]

I agree...
You can turn it down if you want to.
I understand it is a bit creepy to think about when none of us understand it.

[kagepuro]

well...you know...when in Rome!!

& I used to live there

So i would know

[cattack]

Rome?
That's impressive.
I've never left Recolle.
But if you'd like to try it...
Where would you like to meet?

[kagepuro]

Right now I'm at Recolle High....does that work? I feel safe meeting strangers here, is all.

[cattack]

I haven't been there since I graduated, but I don't mind.
Ah, although... I probably can't go actually on the school's premises like this...
This new bike is quite inconvenient in a lot of ways.
Well, as far as the parking lot should be okay.

[kagepuro]

I'll come outside and meet you, don't worry! Just be outside the front gates...

[cattack]

Understood.
I'll be there shortly.
Look for the helmet with cat ears.

[kagepuro]

[True to her word, Ayano is on the look out, sitting on a bench outside of the school gates.]

Hmm...Cat ears...

[cattack]

[It doesn't take long before a motorcycle pulls up... Except it's silver, heavy steel, looking like it's covered in armor. The rider herself, though, has the leather riding gear, and her helmet indeed has cat ears on it!

She pulls up, parking on the side of the road, before pulling off her helmet, revealing... actual cat ears on her head, under her helmet, twitching like she's trying to stretch them out.]

Hello. Are you Ayano?
