(Pyp)
Miming drawing an invisible notepad and pen out of his jacket, Pyp pretended to take notes.? "The G-word is henceforth banned, no spiriting away, and no screwing around with language capabilities.? Got it."? The now-plain-looking demon sighed and mimed adding two more notes.? "And no using any powers or forbidden magicks in her presence.? Physical force only.? Got it."??
"Perfectly good waste of my talents if you ask me," the demon said as he?tucked the imaginary notepad and pen away.? "But since you're not asking me, I'll just have to grin and bare it."? He grinned with manic brightness and suddenly all of his clothes were gone and he was standing there naked, just long enough for Kutsuki to notice.? Then he was just as suddenly back in the forgettable attire he'd had on before.? Before his white-haired summoner could object, Pyp held up a finger to ward off the expected protest.? "We're not in her presence yet, so powers and magicks are still allowed."
"Certainly,?Eraisama," the demon said cheerfully at Kutsuki's request.? He closed his eyes for a moment, concentrating on something, then nodded to himself as he opened them again. "There's a downstairs bathroom at the club that'll be more than suitable for your purposes.? And it's currently unoccupied so we'd best move swiftly."
"Brace yourself,?Eraisama," Pyp warned as he conjured a sphere of black and purple magic to appear around the two of them.? There was a brief feeling of disorientation, of weightlessness and movement, and then it was gone.? The sphere disappeared and all was darkness around them.??
"Hmmm," the demon mused.? He snapped his fingers and overhead an array of fluorescent?lights flickered on, revealing a bathroom that looked like it hadn't been used as such in years.? Stacks of cardboard boxes of varying sizes hinted at its now being used as a storage room.? He looked back to Kutsuki and shrugged.? "Well, it's not exactly the foyer but we're here."
"Good, that's more like it," Kutsuki responded, firmness evident in his voice, but what he wasn't expecting was for the imp to take his own words literally.? A single blink later and the white hair summoner was greeted with a psychotically grinning Pyp who was buck naked.? Before he could even shield his own eyes or groan in disgust, the imp's clothes were back though his smile was no less smaller than it was in that moment.? His cheeks grew hot in that moment, not even sure of the best way to react, when the whole world around him grew dark and the ground dropped right out from under him.? It was so unexpected and startling that his heart nearly jumped out of his throat and in that brief moment of helplessness, Kutsuki reached out for Pyp when suddenly his feet found the solid floor.
"Wh-what the hell was that?!" he groaned, his head spinning like a merry-go-round.? Shaking his head to try and gain some semblance of control again, Kutsuki didn't realize that he was holding something in his hand until that creeping warmth travelled up his skin.? The hellion simply stared back at him, still wearing that maniacal grin from before.? Raising his arm to eye level, Kutsuki realized just exactly what or who that he had grabbed onto, body filled with dread.? The aversion hit him like a brick wall and the summoner whipped his hand away, using the fingers of the other to try and rub off where the other's touch was.? "Don't fucking touch me, creep!? I don't exactly recall giving you permission to do that."
Just then, the door to the bathroom creaked open and blinding white light filled the otherwise dusty room.
"Kutsuki?? I thought I heard someone back here.? The hell are you doing in there, man?? Didn't even see you come in."
"Rauly?"? Oh, thank the deities it was him and not Hwa-Young.? "Another busy day, huh?? I _was_ trying to get Peerson out of here before he caused more trouble.? I told him to stay put outside, but the damned kid has a problem with authority."
"What, you got stuck with babysitting duty?? The usual, am I right?" Rauly asked, opening the door wide and then stepped away to let the others pass.
"Yeah, lucky me.? Thanks," Kutsuki answered and started to head up the stairs.? Before they came out, however, he turned around and hissed at Pyp, making a head cut off motion.? Not a word, Kutsuki mouthed at the imp.? He just hoped and prayed that the hellion stuck to the story, or better yet, not said anything at all.
