Well, at least it's not glue.

RULES:
o1. Put down your character ( name | series | any preferences).
o2. Those replying can pick / rng / ask Snape on the astral plane to choose one of the prompts below.
o3. You know what they say: birds of a feather get stuck in questionably legal situations together!

Hope you enjoy your enforced quality time, when you're both stuck -

o1 in traffic, after an atrocious argument.
o2. distracting this person, while your partner in comedy/crime organizes their surprise party, or slashes their car tyres.
o3. defending the base for the next vicious 42 min, until your cavalry to get here. Ladies, gentlemen: good luck.
o4. on a raft, idly drifting the way of the nearest deserted island, a surely cute shark in tow.
o5. in an air vent, after fruitlessly stalking this person, whom you thought to be a serial killer. They don't make friendly neighbours like they used to.
o6. trapped in a codependent relationship with your bed / pet / really domestic hobby, from which this person hopes to break you by way of ~~alcohol~~ a social intervention.
o7. in a waiting room, while you're hanging around for the results for a highly embarrassing disease test, and would really rather not run into anyone you kno - ...God damn it.
o8. trying to safely navigate through a department store, after carelessly forgetting you were out on your measly errand during Black Friday / the year's biggest one-day sale.
o9. standing guard in front of a bedroom with this nigh-stranger, so your Romeo-Juliet-like friends can finally get it on in behind closed doors, thematic noises included. Get the small talk going.
10. with your hair in one of their zippers. You pick which. Everyone else just points and laughs.
11. delivering some pretty terrible news to them.
12. with your hand in their mailbox, just as they're coming out of their house, or apartment.
13. doing the dishes, when you both forgot your wallets and can't foot the bill.
14. playing moral support for your friend, who's stuck in a magician's box, while said magician goes off to look for the key. And coffee. And dinner.
15. reading a manual on how to defuse a bomb, or a very sensitive alarm system. Tick-tack. No rush.
16. waiting for the movie reels to get changed over from an accidental porn showing, courtesy of teenagers in charge of the screening room. You're also out of popcorn.
17. under the only stone building around for miles in the middle of an acidic rain. And then you wonder whether pollution's really on the rise.
18. on the roof, after the ladder's snapped in half. Your neighbour's particularly irritable cat might also be out on the prowl.
19. in a bdsm swing. Look, no one's judging.
20. baby-sitting, pet-sitting, or car-sitting. Yes, that new Ferrari needs day and night surveillance.
21. in a lake, because this person caught you skinny-dipping and won't. Go. Away.
22. on the phone for an important interview / business conversation, while this person tries to distract you.
23. waiting to be ransomed, while in the actually quite loving care of especially incompetent criminals.
24. with your and this person's thumbs engaged in a dysfunctional Chinese finger trap.
25. waiting for them to make the Important Announcement they've been hinting at all week, while they taunt and tease you with it.

[ How about a mix between 3 and 9 for ultimate benefits? I'm still a bit slow including today, but starting tomorrow I should be able to tag faster again! ]

[ooc; sounds good! Let me know if I need to change anything. C: I'm also slow atm because of the work week, so please feel free to take your time as well. ♥]

[The life of a hero was in no way meant to be quiet, but when one added teenage angst to the mix, the results were a complete soap opera.]

[U.A. High and St. Hebereke's School for Girls were in no way rivals. However, when one of the pampered, rich heiresses from St. Hebereke fell in love with a student from U.A., it was deemed scandalous by the student body because she'd deigned to "stoop" to a Plebeian's level. Meanwhile, the boy from U.A. - who reciprocated the girl's feelings - was deemed a traitor for fraternizing with such snooty, stuck up elitists. Thus, the stage was set.]

[Kodachi was not really a friend of the girl in question - when she'd announced a tryst and had begged the best and most cunning heroines of St. Hebereke to help, Kodachi had only agreed because she was curious about the guy (who'd become the talk of the town in her school). However, she soon found herself beating people off with a proverbial stick as everyone clamored to get to the room where the two were having their "secret" meeting.]

[This was why she now stood in front of the door where the rendezvous was set, stewing in her own juice and wishing she could just explode the entire building. She had enough bombs to do so, after all.]

[ooc: It looks great! ^^b! ]

[Eijirou has seen a lot of soap operas in his life, part during boring afternoons where a female family member had snatched command of their television (in his mother's defense most of those dramas had ended up containing some fights or crimes as well) and part from living in the dorms with twenty to forty other super-powered kids who were all technically rivals.

In actual practice most of them were perfectly fine being friends as long as no ranking event happened and even then only a few selected idiots really took it to far. Which... sort of got Eijirou into this mess of a situation, because he was both a really good friend and one of the more competitive members of the heroics department, sporting just the perfect combination of rationality and idiocy that good friends and accomplices need to have.

When he spots the gaggle of students he almost turns on his heels and heads right back to his dorm, though. But his phone is already buzzing with frantic messages from his friend and the girl inside that room, begging him to come help keep their secret safe and yelling about how he cannot leave a girl alone on bodyguard duty and the last part really gets to him because doing something like that wouldn't be manly at all. So he sighs and and squares his shoulders, trying to get through.]

Okay, sorry, can you- Hey! Just let me-- Ow! Careful that was my eye! [Okay, there's no getting to that door the nice way. Armoring his elbows and shoulders Kirishima takes a deep breath and tackles the situation the Bakugou way.]

ALLRIGHT you hoity-toity motherfuckers, let me through!!

[It actually works. For a moment it seems as if the wall of students is going to part in front of his sheer volume and some medium-past-gentle pushing and nudging, but then it parts too fast and Eijirou finds himself stumbling forward until he trips and lands right in front of Kodachi's feet.]

[Kodachi was vastly unimpressed with the person who'd just somehow landed face first at her feet. With a flick of her wrist, one of her ribbons snaked around him, wrapping snugly around his chest. Another jab, and he was yanked up onto his feet.]

Who're you?

[The girl had given the names of the guy's friends, and only they were allowed to get near Kodachi. The rest were unwelcome.]

[Kodachi, meanwhile, was in an even worse mood, because she didn't see anything in the situation for her, and she all but glowered at the newcomer.]

Ahaha-owww.

[That had been a lot rougher than he had planned. Pushing himself up with a groan Kirishima grins up at Kodachi with what he hopes is a disarming smile (which ends up displaying each of his sharp teeth a bit too much, but it's the thought that matters.)]

I'm -whoa! [Okay, ribbon, being pulled up, how did she do that? He aims a distracted frown at the ribbon around his chest, wondering if that is her quirk before he realizes that he is being glared at. Shuffling a little to get back to standing properly on his own feet (as far as the ribbon was allowing it) he shoots her a look that is way more sheepish than before, but lacks any sign of real intimidation.]

I'm Kirishima. Kirishima Eijirou, aka the second of this gig's force-recruited bodyguards or something like that. Thanks for picking me up!

[Kodachi was undaunted in the face of his fangs. After all, she had a pet alligator.]

[Her ribbons released him, dropping him onto his feet.]

I am Kodachi, the Black Rose of St. Hebereke.

[If he was in the know, he would've heard of her - she was the rhythmic gymnast and martial artist who'd won a reputation for her sneakiness and her . . . attitude. "Batty in the belfry" was a nice way of putting it.]

[If he didn't know her, then . . . probably all the better for him.]

Oof. [He makes a show of landing and straightening back up before he shoots her a curious grin.]

Pleased to meet you. Are you doing your friend a favor as well?

[Her name rings something with him, but he doesn't remember exactly what it was about her that he heard about. Just that she's one of St. Hebereke's must-know students.]

My hero name's Red Riot by the way!

She is no friend of mine. She simply asked me because I am one of the strongest heroines of St. Hebereke.

[She let out a little "hmph". The other students were still clamoring to break up the little rendezvous, and with an irritated sound, Kodachi swept her arm in their direction. A flurry of black rose petals seemed to come from nowhere - and with them, paralysis powder. Those affected froze in their tracks, falling over.]

However, let it not be said that I am against true love.

No friend? Then why did you- [Oh.

A flurry of petals and that best heroine remark later and Kirishima has a feeling that he already knows the answer. He grimaces a little as he backs up until he back blocks the handle of the door they're guarding.]

Ok, nevermind, I think I get it already. You're one of those guys. Uhm, you're only sending them to sleep, right? I don't think Recovery Girl will be happy if we send half the school to the infirmary.

[Kodachi only gave him an enigmatic smile. She held her hand out in front of him, and without warning, a black rose emerged from her fingers.]

[It wasn't a quirk, but rather a sleight of hand - but it was impressive nonetheless.]

[She handed him the rose.]

They're not sleeping. They're just stuck in place until the toxin wears off.

[Her smile was sweet.]

[Kirishima 'ooh'ed at the sudden rose, taking it with a look that is clearly impressed. The moment she mentions poison he drops it as if bitten, though.]

Toxin?! Are you trying to poison me too?!

[WHAT.THE.HELL.GIRL! Is she trying to get them all kicked out of school doing something that dangerous?!]
