3rd Broken Illusion

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Phone ]
Whoever messed with the punch at the dance? Good going, idiot. Maybe you thought you were making things "fun", but all you managed to do was ruin an evening that could have passed without incident otherwise.

This town's bad enough. Why would you do something like that? Gah. [ U MAD, TOUMA?

Seriously, he didn't even want to be there, but it messed Misaka up badly, and thus subsequently cut something short that Mikoto was looking forward to. Even if the vomiting saved his ass. That's what has him all pissed off. ]

---

[ Action : 840 Hastings : Open ]
[ Now that he's gotten that bit of frustration out, Touma was back to being restless. He's currently milling about the house, trying to find something to do. The drones are off doing whatever it is that drones do out of the house. He is used to living (mostly) alone, so he's doing stuff just to have something to do.

This includes but is not limited to:
a) Cleaning his room, or organizing all the books in the house.
b) Raking the yard and bagging up the leaves.
c) Washing the car -- and contemplating getting driving lessons. ]

(ooc: Back-dated to Sunday, and action is open to anyone passing by the house, or stopping in to visit himself or Morgiana. o/ )

[Silence, as Imouto seems to consider something.]

[There's no silence here as Misaka jumps on Touma.]

SO IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY'RE DRUNK?!?!

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Crap! Why didn't he sit in a chair by himself? He's holding Mikoto at bay the best he can. ] I NEVER TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HER? WHAT KIND OF PERSON DO YOU THINK I AM?

[misakanetwork]

'It was the other way around, though Misaka admits she would not mind being taken advantage of by you,' Misaka explains quite honestly.

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

[You get a slight reprieve, Touma as Misaka is turning to stare at Imouto.]

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Pointing. ] SEE?! She even said--

[ Wait. Staring at Misaka, too. ] Huh?!

[misakanetwork]

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

[This is an awful situation with red faces and the thought that she has to kiss Touma to prove herself better.]

[guitarslaying.livejournal.com]

Yeah probably.

But it's the fun type of wrong.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

There's nothing fun about making a kid who didn't know any better have to go home sick.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ His mouth moves before his brain does, though he's mostly mumbling to himself with his head down and his hands messing with his hair. ] Even if you liked me, that's not how you put it...

[ What is his life? What was it, before and what's happening to it now? Is this what it feels to be driving a car with cut brake lines? ]

[normality]

Did anything bad happen after that? [ He does sound a little worried. ]

I mean, if some people might have gotten badly drunk it could have gotten out of hand..

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

I don't know. I helped clean up the mess, went to try and dump out the bowls, and got chased out.

[normality]

[ A slight sigh. ]

I guess I'll have to ask someone else for the full story.. Thank you for this much though.

Why did they chase you out, either way?

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

I dunno. Maybe they thought I was trying to ruin the dance, or one of them did the spiking in the first place. I didn't stick around to ask since I was obviously outnumbered.

[normality]

Sounds like it was pretty tough, huh? It's too bad that happened even though you were trying to help out a little by cleaning up.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Sometimes people can't appreciate a little help. [ Story of his life, even though he doesn't realize it. ] I didn't hear anyone else making a big deal about it over the phones, so that might be the most exciting thing that happened all night for all I know.

[normality]

That's a good thing. You never know what might happen with this place, right?

I can't say I personally have a lot of experience with it yet, but.. I've heard plenty of stories that make me believe worse things could have happened.

[What a strange game. Where the only winning move is to do nothing.]

[guitarslaying.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but chances are? They had fun while they were doing it.

And learned, you know. To be more careful about something that obviously tastes off.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Ah! [ Quickly, he claps his knees and stands up. ] I know when I'm overstaying my welcome.

[ And slowly, casually, turning toward the door......... No sudden movements, Touma. ]

[abovelions.livejournal.com]

You would not be. [she says that, but she does look a bit hopeful if not touched.]

I try to practice often but... I can't know if I'm correct or not. Or making mistakes.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ He smiles a bit. That doesn't come out so often, here. Nor does he sound so... enthusiastic. ] Then I can help with that part. I promise I won't laugh or anything. It can be hard to admit what you just did to me, but I think it's great that you're working toward improvement!

'No you're not,' Misaka explains that she is sure that you are always welcome, whether it is in Onee-sama's house or Misaka's house.
