“Well, I’m not letting you back in there, that’s for damn sure,” Ran grumbled crossly. She was tempted to shake the smaller girl off her arm, except that she didn’t know what kind of drunk Minako was (except bubbly, at least superficially), and the girl was latched on like a lamprey and could be hard to remove. Besides, she didn’t really want to stop feeling, however fleetingly, her elbow brushing against the girl’s bo-

SELF-CONTROL, RAN. GET IT TOGETHER!

It was an absolutely terrible time for this to happen; Ran hadn’t been sleeping too well for the last few nights, due to stressing over an upcoming kendo tournament, and she wasn’t at her most coherent. Never mind that it was also the middle of the night. Exhausted and not entirely in her right mind, Ran was much more prone to bad ideas and slips in her self-control. And where Minako was concerned… that could prove troublesome in the extreme. Best to get her home as soon as possible, then find her own bed and hope the girl was properly contrite in the morning. Or afternoon. Whenever she woke up from her booze-induced stupor.

“If not to bed, then can you at least give me directions? I haven’t been to your place yet, remember. And I don’t think I’d ever live it down if I brought you back to my place.”

She could just hear Kouya taunting her now. “You brought a girl home, huh? Way to go, Ranko!”She wanted to punch his imaginary face for the comment already.

“Wh-why would I want to go back in. back in,” a pointer finger holds steady on an otherwise wavering arm, reaching behind her and towards the door, “in there.”

...Hic!

One would imagine her limb still thinks it’s still bound by a cue with the way it swings in a wide arc in front of her now (thank goodness she’s bolstered by Ran’s frame - arms and elbows and hands wrapped around her ribcage, which presses even further at antics, with little regard to what’s where. Ho ho! If anything, she’s received two sources of wonderful, coveted body warmth tonight), yet a short and polished nail lands and boops her friend’s nose ever-so gently, sing-songing what she apparently deems should be obvious, “Yoooouuuu. Brought me... ...Out here!! So noooow ...I’m with you!!” Her claimed arm pulls a swimming head closer for shoulder nuzzles to emphasize her point in near feline fashion. 

( Friend! Nice friend! Strong friend! Good company! I like you! )

A bit of stumbling brings them to the sidewalk and the question of destinations. Thankfully, coursing spirits in her blood keep the flailing coming. From back to side, and now to front, she points dreamily off into the horizon (and down the street to the left). 

“The river Seine. It’s a lovely place.”

“........ turn on.”

“Loafers.”

“Cute!” ❤

“Patent leather.”

“How am I supposed to deny you, Mary-san? Though we should probably find some privacy... just in case.”

“One of these days, I’ll be old enough to give you a proper kiss. Until then, can I at least give you a kiss on the cheek?”

“Wh-wha... seriously?”

Not that Ran was against the idea, but Minako had given her so many mixed signals, she didn’t have a clue what her actual feelings were. Still... she didn’t want to turn her down. For multiple reasons.

A cheek kiss would probably be safe enough, right? So that’s what Minako got, a gentle peck against her left cheekbone.

Hooboy, this’ll take a little longer than the last one. I’ll break this up by muse this time. Also going to put it behind a cut because OMG long.

Three things that make my muses happy, eh? Let’s see...

Ran: The ocean, warm weather, and a good workout.

Rise: Singing, dancing, and snuggling.

Since you didn’t specify a muse, I’m going to assume Ran since you’ve the most experience with her. :)

4: How do you get into your OC’s mindset to write for them? How do you find the muse for them?

Ran is one of the easiest of my muses to write for, because in many ways she’s most like me. She’s far from a self-insert - she has some neuroses I don’t have - but when I’m having difficulty roleplaying, I tend to drift back to Ran first before anyone else.

8: What does your OC look for in a significant other? Are they looking at all?

Ran isn’t actively looking for anyone, but that’s never stopped her from falling in love - and falling hard. She’s a romantic, though, so for her, the most important thing in a significant other is understanding one another.

15: Does your OC have any awful fears? Do they get paralyzed with fear or can they work through their fears?

Two - plants which can move on their own (like flytraps), and up until she manages to accept her Shadow, restraints of any sort on her body. This isn’t just in a lewd fashion either; a quick way to make Ran panic would be to slap handcuffs on her.

16: What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?

Honour and romance are the two concepts most important to her. Honour comes in part from her kendo training, but a lot of it is also from her indulging in the romance of the samurai legacy, and choosing to adopt a personal code of honour akin to that of the samurai of the past. Romance is just something with her, and it’s more of the classic definition - the heroic or adventurous.

23: Any ships for your OC?
