eight paintings burned (and many kisses received)

[thehangedrose]

[This is already starting to be one of the worst weeks in his life, in Garry's opinion.]

[He's been warned about what would happen by Ino, but it seems that avoiding the kissing going around is easier said than done. So many kisses he hadn't even meant to instigate...darn it, most of those people were his friends, he didn't feel that way towards them at all!]

[He opens the journal, and he can't really hide the uneasiness in his voice.]

If someone has a cure for sheer embarrassment...I think I would like to take it off your hands, if I could.

[And he shuts the journal, trying his best to keep his composure. He's trying his best to avoid people as much as he can, and is hanging out in the library, somehow stupidly sure that whatever magic is making him do this to people won't happen in a place like this. He's been noticing the nutcrackers around, but he's too frazzled to make the connection at all between his impromptu smooching and their appearance.]

[Too bad there's a nutcracker on the shelf above him where he can't see...]


[ooc: OPEN TO PLANNED AND UNPLANNED KISSES OF ALL KINDS! Make Garry's life even worse, you know you want to.]

Dictate for now!

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Oh, what's wrong?

dictated

[thehangedrose]

[Oh god, not Rapunzel. She's like the only person he wants to kiss, and yet he's been kissing all these other people. SO EMBARRASSED, OKAY.]

W-well! Um..let's just say that I had some quite awkward meetings with people, if you will.

dictated

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

...I think I know what you mean.

Where are you now?

dictated

[thehangedrose]

[Know what you mean...oh dear, have people been kissing her? DOES HE NEED TO KICK ALL OF THESE PEOPLE IN THE FACE but oh wait he's been doing the same thing so he can't blame them.]

Oh, in the library. It's a good hiding place as any, I suppose...

dictated

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

[...HE REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW.]

Would you like some company?

dictated

[thehangedrose]

...Yeah. Yeah, I'd love some, honestly.

dictated -> forever action!

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

I'll be right there, then.

[And she does make it to the library quickly, considering she was up in her room. She's quick to find Garry and settle down beside him.]

Hello there, cutie.

[wilder]

[ Guess who Garry]

[Actually no just kidding. Zelos IS in the library, but he isn't seeking Garry out. More just passes him as he's looking through the shelf for things to read. He notices a few nutcrackers, but eh, like he gives a damn]

[thehangedrose]

[SCREAMING]

[But Garry does notice that bright red hair and peeks his head out of the aisle he's in, watching him pass by.]

H-hey! Zelos, right?

[wilder]

The one and only, that's right!

[He turns and looks. He's still trying to connect the name but he's not really phased by people knowing who he is since haha that's his life]

What can I do for you?

[thehangedrose]

Oh, nothing, I'm just...

[possibly needing another person to vomit my feelings of insecurity and confusion and awkwardness on about the whole kissing thing, really]

Surprised that another person is here, that's all, hehe.

[wilder]

-- You're surprised to see people in the library?

[That might speak volumes about your attitude towards reading mister]

[thehangedrose]

[HE LIKES READING, MAN, he just thinks that he's like one of the only people who does HE DOESN'T SEE TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS PLACE, OKAY.]

I-I don't mean it like that! I'm...okay, I'll be honest. I'm just trying to hide. Strange things have been happened, and I don't really want to get more involved with them!

[ino]

[peeks out from a shelf behind him. STEALTHY NINJA]

You're already that embarrassed?

[thehangedrose]

HYYEEK!

[Congratulations, Ino, you have received one (1) manly shriek from Garry!]

[Boy, he is not liking all these ninjas sneaking up on him, he isn't.]

Ino! You scared me!

[ino]

[she just puts a hand on her hip, looking vaguely amused]

Keep it down! We're in the library.

[thehangedrose]

I'd keep it down if I wasn't being ambushed by people!

[And a sigh.]

What are you even doing here?

[ino]

I didn't ambush you. I just talked to you.

[GOSH. and she'll hold up a book in her hand -- "A Garden of Words" by Martha Barnette] I was returning a book.

[thehangedrose]

By being all sneaky, sure!

[And he looks over at it, raising his eyebrows.]

...Oh. Well, um. [how do you shot conversation] Is it good?

B)

[not_mafia]

[Guess who's in the library a table over, sitting with his head in his arms miserably?

Paradisa, what part about him moving out of the castle because he doesn't want to be in it do you not understand?]

you are evil

[thehangedrose]

[Garry notices the guy sitting a little over and...hey, that's Tsuna! He gets up and wanders over. Man...did the castle effect him too.]

Tsuna! Um...you got kissed too, didn't you?

HEHEHHE

[not_mafia]

--huh? Oh, Garry-kun.

[He blinks at his friend, then sighs as he rests his chin on his arms.]

No, not yet. I was hoping to avoid it by staying at home, but... I guess the castle had other plans for me. [his life is suffering garry]

Re: HEHEHHE

[thehangedrose]

Yeah, same here...it just seems that everywhere I go, I get involved in something like that! It's unfair...

[his life is suffering too LET'S MAKE A LIFE IS SUFFERING CLUB WE'LL HAVE T-SHIRTS AND EVERYTHING]

Re: HEHEHHE

[not_mafia]

[And the t-shirts could say "I'm with loser" and have an arrow pointing upwards!!]

I don't think Paradisa really understands "fair".

[His foot shifts a little, bumping something hard and wooden under the table.]

...ah?

[thehangedrose]

It seems like that, huh?

[And a pause. What was he reacting to?]

Um. Did something happen?
