witchesreign | The Gossip Around Garden VI

Greetings Balamb Garden,

It seems that our lovely school has made a severe splash! And what better way to dish out the goods with a prized column from yours truly! Let the games truly begin!

If you don't know about a recent marriage that occurred here, then you're sleeping under a rock! But what's this?! Is Instructor Snow Villers chatting with the bride to be? Or is she an evil twin sister out to ruin Grell's life?! Either way, both redheads have a keen eye for hunks! Side note: Snow is unattached!!

And finally Espio is wearing pants! But how long will that streaker keep them on?!

Moving on to the Holi events, there is a plethora of juicy details! Is Kate Bishop really hitting on Instructor Shadow?! With that slingshot of hers, she's certainly allowed to aim high! Shadow may as well take on the opportunity, since Claire Farron is having secret rendezvous with Cid Raines! What a sordid web!

An odd pairing of a pastel pony named Rainbow Dash (that's really her name!) and a vertically challenged cadet of Edward Elric seems to have cropped up. The only thing they have in common is their propensity for stubbornness! But anything can happen here, all thanks to Time Compression! We're all rooting for you both! Edward better keep his eye on the skies, and not on Instructor Pinkie Pie! Instructor Champloo will easily stir-fry that little rump to perfection!

And when will Gakupo make the moves on the head of the Garden Festival Committee?! Mikuru is ripe for the taking and eager for all the things he encompasses! He'd better hurry before Instructor Snow gets involved with yet another underaged girl!

Let's all take a few steps back and observe that hot and sticky night of that bonfire that lit a fire in the pits of our bellies! Our lovely resident Queen of Hair, Rapunzel, was roasting marshmallows with Cissie King-Jones! The sticky goo of their treat is just a symbolization of what was in store later on that evening! Would Eugene mind a threesome?!

Instructor Tom strummed up a few chords with Gakupo, and they seem to make a wonderful melody! Will the screech of Instructor Sharpay Evans throw them off key?! Someone get her a tuning fork!

In our next issue, we'll try to cover those very fond couples, and some new ones! Such as the game of hard to get between Rose Lalonde and Kanaya Maryam. Love's better when one has to earn it!

Until next time, Garden!

Miss Tattler

[she's matching him with equal fervor, because whatever she may say to the contrary this...thing has been bubbling under the surface and driving her crazy for some time now. she knows that to keep it detached and explainable she needs to put some sort of passive-aggressive spin onto it, turn it into a competition of sorts.

but as Rose loops her arms around his neck, she realizes that for once she doesn't want to do that. for once she'd just like to kiss him.]

[he's already given up on trying to justify this instance with some competitive handwave, really. it doesn't help that his motivation for doing this was entirely without aggression, and that much was obvious. so.]

[she supposes that they could just agree to act as if it never happened afterward. much easier than trying to fumble around for a reason.]

[that's an option to consider, but he's not so sure that he wants to go for it.]

[what so you actually want to talk about it. i mean really.]

[he doesn't know ok.]

[there aren't exactly other options in between those two. he's going to have to make up his mind eventually or she'll just do whatever the hell she wants.]

[he. supposes that the idea of talking about it seems a fair bit more appealing.]

[he has truly taken a running leap off the last moldering rocky cliff of sanity that he was balancing on, then.]

[so what are her thoughts on the matter, then.]

[her thoughts are none of his business, thank you very much]

[rude

but don't mind him if he finally pulls back for air after putting his arms around her back.]

[as if this is news.

oh she won't mind at all. after all, it gives her the opportunity to rest her chin on his shoulder and keep her face and any wayward expressions that might cross it out of his line of sight.]

[not in the slightest, but it still bears mentioning.

nice transparent cover there, rose.]

[oh shut up you]

I don't believe that particular action added anything significant to the conversation.

[make me]

Given the nature of the topic initially under discussion...

[she's got a fucking hardcover, don't think she won't]

It only served to exacerbate our tendency to wander from the main point in favor of beating to death superfluous tangents.

[yeah and what do you think he's got in his sylladex]

In this instance, I should dare say that the issue of the game was the tangent, if somewhat linked initially.

Indeed, the previous act was something of a resumption of the starting subject.

[failure and broken dreams, mostly]

I seriously doubt that, but arguing the point further only hurls us into yet another pointless conversation so I suppose that I have no choice but to withhold my bubbling counterpoints and see through this odious talk to its natural conclusion.

[or possibly nothing at all depends on how that turns out i guess]

I'm glad you've chosen to see reason.

[glib as all hell]

We have been trying to snuff this out for--oh, how long now. The significantly better part of a year now, yes? My point is that it is becoming significantly more likely that our current excuse for a strategy is not, in fact, a workable solution.

In fact, it's becoming outright obvious.

Any failure is because certain parties refuse to put forth full effort into rectifying this mess.

[and she is making it very obvious who that douche is with a long flat look down her nose at him]

We have tried for nine months, both of us.

It isn't working. Directing blame only casts further doubt on the strategy.

[w/e w/e]

Then what do you suggest? [the reply is snappish, further cementing her stance against anything that isn't plugging her ears and hoping the issue dies a slow and agonizing death alone]

An actual attempt at figuring out the problem, for one.

Maryam's meddling, desired or not by either of us, may not have been entirely misguided.

Kanaya's hamfisted attempts at soothing the tension surrounding us like a fog were completely off base. I suppose you can consider that my one and only contribution to your impromptu emotional sleuthing party.
