For Cater & Kalim; between fliers for 666 Flags appearing and Riddle showing up

[effortaverse]

Be real with me.

[Leona is, as he tends to be when the three of them are in Kalim's room, laid out on his side cross-ways at the foot of the bed, head propped up in his hand. In his other hand he's got one of those fliers clipped between his two first fingers, arm lazily draped over his bent knee.]

If I say, 'don't go near this park', neither of you are gonna listen, are ya?

[broasis]

Come on, Leona! Haven't we done this before? And didn't we have a great time?

[It was totally cool if you don't count the almost-getting-turned-into-puppets part!]

What if we all go together?

[caycay]

There is literally, literally no way you're keeping me out.

[This wouldn't be like Playful Land! Certainly this one was not a clearly obvious scam! Sure, it was called 666 Flags, but they couldn't all be red.]

If you don't wanna go, Kalim and I will buddy system it up, no prob.

[effortaverse]

Kalim, that trip went fucking terribly.

I'm pretty sure you both know that.

[he sighs, putting his palm to his forehead.]

Do you even know the difference between Playful Land and what this horndog over here's yappin' about?

[he gestures at Cater, who is now in conversational horny jail.]

[broasis]

Horn...dog...?? [did anybody else catch that rumbling sound?]

...Oh, man. Do you think they'll have corndogs?

[Oh right, Leona asked him a question.]

Wait-- uh. Iiiiis there a difference? It's just a theme park in hell instead of on a giant ship! I've been to hell before, it's fine!

[caycay]

Oh, I'm sure there will be some kind of dog.

[Hotdog-shaped objects. Cater's eyes are not straying anywhere disrespectful as Leona puts him in the slammer. Unrepentant. He will commit even more crimes upon release for good behavior.]

You heard the guy. C'mon, Leona, you don't think that Kalim's a big boy able to make his own independent decisions?

[Neither of them think this.]

[effortaverse]

No, I don't.

[there is no hesitation.]

You just run around thinkin' just because you're an angel, things'll go right for ya wherever you go, don'tcha, Kalim?

Tell ya what. You wanna know what kinda shit they're servin', have another look at the pamphlet.

[Which he flings Kalim's way—]

[broasis]

Well, it's all worked out so far, hasn't it?

[Sticks out his tongue as he snatches that pamphlet out of the air, then huddling over himself to give it a good scan...]

Oookay, soo... There's roller coasters and go-karts aaaand a dance club, an arcade... [It seems he's just glossing over stuff he either isn't interested in or perhaps does not have context for! Either way, the more he reads, the more hype he looks!] Oooh, a hookah lounge sounds like it could be a good place to chill out and take a break later.

[Looking between them, just beaming away.] What do you think?

[caycay]

[As to be expected of Kalim, his power to read selectively was off the charts.][They can go to the hookah lounge that definitely wasn't also a BDSM bar.]

I think it sounds like a great time.

1/2

[effortaverse]

[just. this face. at both of them for a second.]

[effortaverse]

I think it sounds like this is gonna end up a pain in my ass.

[he's losing, isn't he. ugh. he does NOT want to be the Jamil in this equation, either.]

Kalim.

[he's just gonna cut to the choice.]

Tell the class what BDSM means.

[broasis]

Uhh...

[Can you hear the dial-up noises?]

...Belly-dance, Salsa and Merengue?

[caycay]

[He can't. He can't take it. Cater's consistently smug expression breaks as he bursts into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, gripping his sides.]

OMG. OMG, Kalim!

[He could've just said he didn't know! He didn't have to try and fill in the blanks on the spot!]

Oh, honey, that is super not what it stands for!

I finally found your inbox!

[unpaidovertime]

[There is a very buisnesslike knock on Kalim's door at a time when Nanami is fairly certain only Leona is in. He's trying his best to look calm and reasonable, but if Leona opens the door at all he will likely be able to smell how nervous Nanami is right now.

He isn't there to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean he thinks there will be no trouble at all.]

LMAO you found it before I did...!!

[effortaverse]

[there's a distinct, tired yell of a "what?" before a pause and some footsteps, and finally the door opens.]

What'd you forg—

oh.

[Leona stares blankly, blinking.]

...Yes?

[unpaidovertime]

[He's not sure what he expected, but at least the door isn't being slammed in his face.]

Would you mind if I came in? I have something I would like to talk to you about and the hall is a bit... public.

[effortaverse]

Is there a problem?

[Leona asks, but... he does step back and out of the way.]

[unpaidovertime]

[Nanami lets himself in. He's trying not to stare at everything, that's not why he's here.]

I hope not, but I'm not sure of the etiquette here.

I've acquired this recently, and I was hoping you might help me learn how to use it.

[He digs in his pocket and retrieves a pen with a gem on the end in a blue that matches his wings.]

[effortaverse]

[Nanami presents his pen, and Leona is presented with a lot more questions. he doesn't react much, though, instead raising a brow slightly and asking;]

Azul give you that?

[unpaidovertime]

No. He doesn't know I have it. And I would like to keep it that way, for now.

[He's remained very serious, but there's a sudden spike of stress. He hadn't considered that Leona could potentially spoil things for him.]

[effortaverse]

So you're askin' me next.

[ugh. figures.]

You think I'm just gonna tutor you for free?

[unpaidovertime]

I'm asking you because I have something you may want in return for teaching me. That is, if you're interested in getting into Heaven as a permanent resident.

[Staring him down, dead serious.]

[effortaverse]

And why do you think I would be?

[he crosses his arms, surveying— and trying not to suggest one way or another how he feels about it with his expression.]

[unpaidovertime]

You're living here, and the standards in Heaven are much nicer than the alternative. And it's something I can offer you. I've done it before.

[effortaverse]

I dunno what you mean. I'm living just fine in Mr. Asim's good graces and all, but my room is just fine.

[he says, never in the damn room.]

Besides.

You think the goons downstairs are gonna take an angel like me seriously? Please.

[he isn't shooing Nanami out yet, though, so perhaps there's more to it...]
