Mastery of Prank 2 [REAL Event Thread | Chiyo & Takumi]

It was a late evening at the guild hall, where most of the people were about to fall asleep on the benches around here. Bumps of glasses falling to the ground could be heard, which alerted the bartender to take care of the remaining drunks. However, the guild wasn't only filled with alcoholics; not to make it sound generalizing, Mura was around the benches too. He was sleepy, judging by the look on his face. Kyuken was with him, the spirit that tried to drink some too. "..." Kyuken could definitely see the amount of boredom within his master, which prompted him to ask: "Master, are you too bored? We can always just go home, now..." The spirit mage would snap his head in a sudden, before moving his gaze at Kyuken. "Ehh... I'm alright. Just need to find out what to do... it's really late, though, and the guild isn't so living at night," he mentioned, hitting his head on the table. He closed his eyes in and hoped that something, or someone, would give him anything to do, anything entertaining and tonic-like...

chiyo walked into the hall, come to visit takumi. "hey mura. wanna pull a prank on takumi with me?" she said as she approached the spirit mage. The bloodbender looked at mura with those icy blue eyes of hers and tossed back her long black hair.

Takumi was sleeping with his arms stretched over his head, his ever-faithful pet snoring in his armpit. The ice mage looked contented in his sleep for once, almost looking peaceful. But there were still dark circles under his eyes and a sense of discord about him.

His sleepy eyes caught glimpse of a familiar voice, most likely the best buddy of his icy guild mate Takumi. it was Chiyo, who'd visited the guild for... a prank? Wait, she asked him to prank her own brother? That suggestion lit him up like a torch, quickly charging off the bench. "Sure, sure," he cockily replied to Chiyo, "Do you have any idea? Hehe, I'm already on it, though." Despite the lack of sleep, his brain functioned abnormally sharp this time of the day; or perhaps it was due to the fact that he'd been thinking about ideas for the entire evening. "... What's this idea, master..?" Kyuken anxiously asked his master, having a feeling that this would most likely go too far at some point...

"Hm... give me a second," he told Chiyo, before heading up to the ceiling, instantly flying RIGHT through it. A while would pass the lady, before Mura reappeared with something on his hands; a pair of scissors, a ball and lots of duct tape. "What do you say if we..." he teasingly suggested Chiyo, "... tape him upside down on the ceiling? Hehe..." He couldn't wait to perform the plan, very eager to see Takumi's expression when finding himself in such a weird place and with dozens of blood inside his head. Man, wouldn't that be some of a prank...

"Actually? That isn't a bad idea. Why not?" Chiyo bounced childishly on the balls of her feet. This sounded fun. But dangerous were the tape to decide to suddenly not stick anymore. "Let's do this!" The elegant young woman studied takumi, who was snoring like a buzzsaw.

as the mage snored he muttered something about kyoko, his sister. someone had put his cloak over him like a blanket. a dark shadow seemed to fall over his face, his expression now anguished and confused.

"Oh, snap..." Mura spotted the soon to awakening Takumi, realizing that if he wanted to launch the plan, then it was now! With smooth, quick movements, the shaman rolled a tape around the ice mage's feet, before quickly soaring up to one of the guild hall's roof boards. He rolled the duct tape around that too, having a firm grib on it at the end. "Alright," he spoke, before soaring down to Chiyo, "Now, try it with Wist too. I'll coverh is mouth now, and hurry... They'll be so shocked when they wake up again..."

Chiyo began working with speed one would not have thought possible from such a woman. She wuickly wrapped Wist in the duct tape until he was throughly hog-tied. The blood mage giggled at the sight and quickly took a picture before wrapping one last loop of tape around wist's wrists, tight enough that he wouldn't be able to shift when he woke up.

While Chiyo was busy binding Wist, Mura ripped some of the duct tape off the roll and proceeded to stick it onto Takumi's face. Being the first time to work with tape, it turned out quite creepy; a kind of ball-like piece of tapes was now dangling on his face. "... *grin* Hahaha..." he let out quietly, "Hey, Chiyo, take a look at this; he looks like a duck now..!" The shaman would have a good time at the moment, feeling like years since he'd had this mcuh fun, despite the fact that he had so much fun every single day here.

He continued by soaring to the floor and holding a rope-like form of tapes on his right hand. With that, he pulled on the sleeping ice mage, so that the body would bounce up and down from the roof. "He's going to wake up now... Chiyo, try the same," he suggested her, while having an evil grin on his face.

Chiyo was grinning as she taped up Wist's face as well. She activated her bloodwings, flying up with wist and taping his feet firmly to the roof. It hadn't been so fun for Chiyo in a good long while. She hovered in the air near Wist and Takumi, waiting for them to wake up so she could laugh in their faces. Her pet stayed below with his own wings folded, his expression one of amusement. The wolf looked up at his master, his fur changing from black-and-red to silver. The blood mage, meanwhile, decided she would put Takumi under her bloodbending when he woke up, so she could force him to make duck noises.

Takumi woke to find all the blood rushing to his head, and making duck noises for some reason. Instantly knowing who was responsible, he struggled to break free so he could kick Mura's and Chiyo's butts. The ice mage laughed as he  realized his sword was still attached to his back, and that he couldn't get at it. Takumi continued to struggle, but only ended up making himself nauseous as he swung from the roof. "You guys are so getting it!" yelled theice mage looking directly at Mura as he did so.

The shaman’s face was filled with a pleasant joy as his little plan turned out to be a success. The mere reaction from Takumi was enough to lighten up the evening, judging by how he was earlier. With a sticking tongue out to the ice mage, he and Kyuken replied: “Yeah, yeah, try and get down first, kitty.” The samurai would look at the outcome with acceptance in his eyes as if he was some kind of judge for the prank. “Very creative, I must say,” he commented. He was surely right; not only thanks to the shaman, but also Takumi’s friend who just showed up the right moment… now, Takumi would find a way down sooner or later, and when he did, Mura would expect a wild reaction from the ice mage. Perhaps a rematch? Or maybe Takumi was planning on returning the favor, somehow; either way, Mura wanted to be ready.

Chiyo stifled a giggle, knowing full well Takumi would be too terrified of her to do anything to them. "You shouldn't have fallen asleep in the guild hall you idiot." The blood mage laughed at him with a smirk on her face and flew right up to Takumi. She put her face right in front of his, close enough to kiss. "Idiot." Chiyo laughed again before pulling away.

Takumi struggled against the tape, face murderous. His blue eyes seemed to be full of blue flames, funny enough because he was an ice mage. His pet had his eyes open wide and attempted to shift shape. Wist couldn't do it because of the restricted space, however. Takumi wriggled as much as possible, swinging back and forth from the roof.

“…” Mura’s eyes were focused on Takumi and Wist as they struggled with inner rage pouring out of their eyes in the form of flames. Things were getting tense in here, weren’t they? Perhaps he shouldn’t stay close; who knew, if Takumi managed to find a way out, then he would most likely try and repay Mura for the joke in any way possible. And this was Takumi; who knew what he could think of. Slowly, the shaman backed out of the guild hall, his face pouring down sweatdrops, meanwhile Kyuken wasn’t aware of his spirit master’s absence. Soon, he would stand out of the guild hall, curiously thinking of what Takumi would do if he ever got free… he should be ready for an outrage sooner or later…

Chiyo slowly backed up in the air. She had never seen Takumi this angry in her life... and he could get pretty mad sometimes. If he broke free there was no telling what he might do. She nervously landed and crept after mura, aiming to get to the door of the guild. But a sudden ripping noise stopped her in her tracks.

Takumi had managed to break free of the tape, rage giving him extra strength. "I'm gonna kill you!" He roared as he charged towards Mura, knowing full well if he fought Chiyo she would kick his ass in ten seconds flat. He grabbed for his new weapon, which had been in his pocket in its gun form. He changed it into the dual-headed scythe and swung it towards Muras torso. He wasn't aiming to hurt him, but merely forcing him to move.
