Rox and Roll!

“…”

She had finally turned around. Roxi stared at the smaller girl for a long while, the glass falling out of her hand and smashing on the ground below. She gently pinched herself on the arm to confirm that she was awake before anything else. She then staggered a little, before a torrent of tears began rolling down her cheeks.

“Roxi-?!” She jumped as soon as she saw the tears falling, and the glass shattering really didn’t help matters. Ayaka threw up her hands, stepped a little closer, then seemed to think better of it.

"n... NO! D-DON'T LEAVE M-ME ALONE!"

But it was too late. She was gone. The planner pulled at her hair as she folded over, oblivious to the reappearance of the ghost.

It was so tiring to even stay awake at this point. She felt like she was going to pass out or throw up at the same time, and her thoughts blurred in a twisted, dark mess. Roxi stared at her gloved hands in her room for a long while, before clenching them into fists and standing up off her bed.

She decided to go to the smoothie bar to get a drink. While they didn’t have any alcoholic drinks (she had checked), a smoothie would be a decent substitute for now. The funeral planner hadn’t actually checked the new area opened up to them just yet, but maybe there was alcohol or any type of drug or drink that could make her forget. She actually despised both, but she would take anything that could let her forget about what happened. She was blending fruits when she spotted someone in the corner of her eye, and spoke without turning to them just yet.

"-!! Hey, give me that!"

He was startled to leave the pantry and find someone else already at it with the blenders—and then his face fell. It was Roxi. She… Was she… She probably couldn’t even stand to look at him anymore but, but—

“U-u-um…”

He shakily put his bowl down on one of the tables. “I… I-I…”

“I-I’m… ggggg…” His shoulders shook. “I… s-s-s-s… I-I-I—I-I-I-I-I’m…!”

She wrapped her arms around him and swayed back and forth, gently mumbling soft comforting words as she buried her face into his shoulder. Even if she was angry at him, which she wasn't, she wouldn't have had the energy to yell or cry, or emote in general.

"It's okay, Ohi... It ain't your fault..."

She gently rubbed his back, sighing deeply.

“Uh… n-no thanks. I’m not that thirsty.”

Ayaka rubbed her head as she stared at Roxi, trying to figure out just what had happened. How much time had passed? Why didn’t she have some sort of headache? How had she been knocked out again? The last thing she remembered was Ayato falling to the floor… oh God, had they been attacked? Was Ayato okay?

"..."

She had finally turned around. Roxi stared at the smaller girl for a long while, the glass falling out of her hand and smashing on the ground below. She gently pinched herself on the arm to confirm that she was awake before anything else. She then staggered a little, before a torrent of tears began rolling down her cheeks.

“Pfff- I’m not a princess, sweetie. I’m… A sorcerer! Yeah! My magic is being super cute, so that people go easy on me in battle!”

"Pfft, yeah, that's my secret. I'm a special Magical Girl, and because I'm the tallest I'm the strongest, too."

Roxi was trying her best not to laugh at her own sentence, folding her arms with her lips clamped together. She gave a gentle laugh as he gestured to the monitor, giving a gentle shrug.

"Pfff- I'm not a princess, sweetie. I'm... A sorcerer! Yeah! My magic is being super cute, so that people go easy on me in battle!"

Sir Michael slowly scratched his head as he wandered around, mentally reaching out for memories that were just below the surface. Something was familiar about this place, yet brand new. Deciding to give up for now, he started to explore the building, until he found someone else.

“Ah, hello there, huhuhu! It’s nice to meet you, Sir Michael! I’m Roxi~! Nice to meet ya, cutie pie.”

"Well, I don't know about the 'brave' part, but yeah, I'm a... 'Warrior' here, huhuhu! I- Woah! Watch where you're swinging that around, sweet pea! Huhuhu!"

“Fair maiden? Heh, I’m more of a dragon person, y'know! I have the hair for it and everything!”

She looked a little nervous at the sight of the sword, but brushed it off.

“You see… This is only a secret form! I am the all powerful Necromancer, and I’m here in disguise to take over the academy! Mwahahaha! And you are my first target!”

"Ah, curses! Defeated by the oh so powerful knight!"

Well, this was certainly not going to plan. The funeral planner had simply been walking down a school hallway, when she noticed a bouquet of flowers set up for decoration purposes. But… They were all in the wrong order. Who had even arranged these? It was like they’ve never seen a good bouquet in their life! She stopped, looking to the left and then the right to make sure nobody was there, before stepping over and sorting them into a prettier pattern. 

However, her hand slipped, and she accidentally knocked the vase onto the floor, water spilling everywhere. Oh. She crouched down to pick it up, but as she started to straighten herself, she slipped on the water. Roxi hit the ground with a thud, and with her height it resembled a tree collapsing.

“Ah, son of a b…”

She soon realised that someone was there, and quickly changed her aggressive tone and expression

Oh. Oh, she was cute, damn. Suba grinned, laughing as the girl corrected her language.

“Hey, don’t worry about a damn thing! You can cuss around me all you want, I really don’t give a shit! And besides, who am I to boss around such a cutie?”

She straightened herself out, brushing off the dust from her clothes before turning to Suba and speaking.

"Ah, I prefer not to swear. My father detested it, and I don't want to disappoint him by letting myself say such horrible words, honey cheeks."
