week 4

[missmaladroite]

[She's handcuffed]

[to ADRIEN?!]

[Well, she's spent days chained to Judar and it could be so much worse, but as usual when in uncomfortable positions, she can only find herself stammering]

Ehm, um-- so this is my room.....

[HE KNOWS, MARINETTE.]

Comments

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he knows, marinette]

Yeah, I know. I've been here, remember? [if he was chat he'd make a joke about being handcuffed to her being way better ;) but this is still a bit awkward, so...] We can think of it like a sleepover, if it helps.

[......it won't]

[missmaladroite]

Eheheh.... A sleepover, of course. [while they're handcuffed]

[together..... a l o n e]

A... sleepover....

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[marinette you might be the love of his life but you are the most unhelpful]

Y...ep. I gotta say, it'll be way better with you than with Hancock.

[HOPEFULLY BEAMS please respond with words he is dying]

[missmaladroite]

[Well, luckily, combined salt is enough to dislodge her from her Adrien stupor... a little]

R-Right.... like me and Judar. [THAT GUY IS SO ANNOYING]

What was it like? [being handcuffed to Hancock and all]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Kinda weird? He's not so bad, but... [his face melted off marinette what else can he say to that. oh. also:] I did have to tell him about Plagg, though.

[missmaladroite]

He didn't... you know.... [smell, or anything, but she's just barely tactful not to ask that!]

[On the other hand]

"Plagg"?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

He wasn't too weird or anything? Except when he joked about murder.

[that's definitely not what she was asking. still.]

Oh! That's the name of my kwami.

[missmaladroite]

Your kwami!

[Oh! Oh! of course his kwami would be here with him-- but she was picturing like a cat version of Tikki, and she can't imagine Tikki ever being a shit in any capacity, aside from rubbing in Marinette's face when things went badly] Joked about murder? If Tikki caught me even laughing, she'd tell me off!

[kwamoflage]

[As if on cue, Tikki pops out from Marinette's shirt, after giving her a Look]

Speaking of that.....

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[Adrien was going to correct her that Hancock was the one who joked about murder (...not that Plagg hasn't but in that specific instance) but instead he's too shocked to actually be seeing Marinette's kwami face to face to remember to mention that]

Oh! Is that...?

[kwamoflage]

[if Tikki is doing it then he is doing it too, thanks, zipping out from Adrien's jacket]

Are we finally doing this, then? I thought I was going to die from how awkward they both were acting.

[#helping]

[missmaladroite]

[she'd gotten distracted by the Kwamis, and she continues to be distracted by staring right at him]

You're--- his Kwami!

[Brilliant deduction, Marinette!! Marinette had been the one most insistent on keeping their identities secret, but now that she thinks about it.... when she'd taken Adrien's phone, had this Kwami been around? Was he around when they were in class together? Hadn't he and Tikki sensed each other, or....?]

[also Plagg is rude as shit]

Very funny. This is all new to me!

[kwamoflage]

[Tikki, on the other hand, smiles widely at Adrien and flits around him to say hi]

Yes, I'm Tikki! It's nice to meet you, Adrien, Marinette is always talking about you.

[ignoring any protests from Marinette, she keeps going]

We shouldn't be speaking like this, but... we can't avoid it any longer.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

Oh, wow... [he holds out a hand near her, not close enough to pet but just kind of hovering] It's nice to meet you, Tikki!

[she's so cute and nice???? fuck everything else LOOK AT THAT???]

[kwamoflage]

[well, if Tikki is stealing his chosen (rude), he's going to come near Marinette to look at her and cackle a bit]

You should hear how often he talks about "Ladybug". It's almost enough to throw off my appetite. [he ignores adrien's immediate objections] Like he said, I'm Plagg, and I am starving. Can we do this quick?

[missmaladroite]

He... talks about me?

[Marinette, no, this is not the message to take from the rude cat]

[She smiles very widely, though]

Er-- of course, of course! I have some cookies right here.

[She's going to reach into her pockets]

[kwamoflage]

[Tikki shakes one of Adrien's fingers, smiling, but hovers close enough that he could pet her if he wanted to]

It's nice to meet you too, Adrien, even if the circumstances are a little... well. It's safer for the two of you not to know each other's identities, but there's no way we can avoid that right now.

[kwamoflage]

[Plagg breaks tagging order to make a scene]

Cookies? Ergh, who do you take me for? My taste buds are far too refined for that!

[he's zipping back to Adrien and Tikki, commenting to her at the same time:]

Saying there's "no way" to avoid it is vastly overestimating your Ladybug, I'm sure she'd still be in denial if he hadn't told her. For once I'm glad he's obsessed with her. This is way more fun.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he was about to pet Tikki, but then this cat happened. he happened and he is terrible]

Plagg! Could you not? [with... everything...]
