[OPEN] tfw retrospec sends you contraband
WHO: Mafuyu/open
WHERE: Recollé high school, Hollingberry Field, Recollé Woods
WHEN: 6/6
WHAT: receiving various item regains, cross-dressing disguise, going ??? over what sort of life she used to live
WARNINGS: none
NOTES: for the canon unfamiliar, Mafuyu looks like the one on the right with her wig on, relevant to prompts A and B
A. Recollé High School
[ An echoing BAM!! resounds through the hall of lockers during lunch time, Mafuyu slamming the door to her locker so hard, it bounces back open without the lock catching. She swears under her breath, trying to push her locker door back closed but instead, a pair of ninja stars nearly slices her toes off when it falls out, and she cuts her palm on brass knuckles as she reaches around for... a stuffed animal? —AND THAT HAD BETTER NOT BE A DISEMBODIED HEAD IN HER LOCKER.
...It's just a wig, which isn't any less creepy, but okay. First, let's put this on, Mafuyu decides, placing it on her head and tucking her own hair underneath so hopefully she looks enough like a boy and no one can recognize her, because next, she has to hurry and gather everything up in her arms and run, who cares about afternoon finals, there are literally three days left of school aND SHE CANNOT GET CAUGHT WITH WEAPONS OR SHE WOULD GET EXPELLED AND CHIYO WOULD KILL HER. ]
B. Hollingberry Field
[ Mafuyu smuggles the items as far as the park, face plants somewhere along the way over a bokken that wouldn't fit in her locker to have been left there, but she's compelled to pick up and bring with her. She stomps her way up the length of the playground slide and sits down right there before unpacking everything onto her lap.
Normally, she wouldn't want to be caught dead with any of these things... This wig that logically she should be grossed out by because it's probably been sitting on somebody's head before, but she leaves it on anyways, telling herself that this way, no one will recognize her playing outside during school hours and drag her back to class. There's a rabbit doll that looks old and worn, well loved, but she's never played with stuffed animals in her life, and none of her friends would probably ever believe she owns something so childish as this.
On the other hand, ninja stars and brass knuckles and a wooden sword? Holy shit, it's Christmas.
She has no idea how to use any of these, but she has all the time to learn, considering she'd just run out from school and there's hours upon hours until she should go home for dinner. There's a certain freedom in hiding who she is (clearly, she's unrecognizable with hair cut short like a boy's, right, that's all she needs to do...) because she doesn't have to worry about being told to go home or go to school or that she's whacking the bark off trees all wrong with that bokken, also that's not how you hold brass knuckles, and whoops, ninja stars go flying everywhere if you don't throw them correctly, watch your nose. ]
C. Recollé Woods
[ The rabbit doll though, Mafuyu doesn't really know what to make of it. Later in the evening, after dropping everything off at home, she takes it with her on a walk, holding it loosely by the ears where she carelessly swings it in wide arcs, wide strides taking her along the river. Across it, her foot slips on one of the large rocks, she falls, her rabbit gets caught in the current, and for whatever reason people like hanging out in the woods, they'll hear this scream of absolute distress.
She can't swim, but that's the furthest thing from her mind: losing a Retrospec gift feels like she would die, she can't let the rabbit get washed away. ]

B
[The exclamation came about a second after a 'thunk' struck a nearby tree. Hey, look! Ninja stars made excellent decorations, did they not? She was standing there, blinking as she stared at it before looking in the direction of who might have been responsible before reaching up to pluck it out and hold it gently in her hands.
Those fingers clearly knew how to hold this thing a lot more familiarly than a florist on break really should have. She started walking over towards the blond...? Boy...? Uh... eh, whatever and smiled. They looked kind of familiar.]
I should hope this was not aimed at my head. You were off, if that was the case.
no subject
It wasn't! I just didn't see you there!

And that's someone screaming.
Shuji hesitates for a second, screaming is not a good sign and maybe he should run in the opposite direction and save his own skin? But he'd feel like scum if he did that and someone else got hurt, so without letting himself reflect further on what kind of danger he might be heading into, he breaks into a run, towards where the scream came from.]

His eyes hurt.
There's a scream.
He rushes deeper into the forest. If someone has run into something hidden by Retrospec...what could it be? Has investigating the secrets of the city put their lives in danger?
There's a girl by the river. Blonde hair, short...]
Mafuyu?! [How do they keep running into each other?!] Nevermind that. What's happening?

He's still got the straw from his strawberry milk carton in his mouth as a student rushes down the way and--]
Ninja... stars?
[Is he seeing this right or did he actually just dream up the whole day.]
no subject
M-move!
[ She yells it too late. Slamming into someone with arms full of pointy metal isn't the safest thing though, Mafuyu having just picked everything up with her bare hands without a jacket or anything else to cover them, so she throws her arms out, stars clattering to the ground. ]

What still doesn't alarm her is a handsome boy she doesn't know in front of Mafuyu's locker? A strangely familiar handsome boy....? Somehow? ]
Um...? Do you need help...?
[ She can only see Mafuyu from the back and that she's holding a collection of items in her arms and not exactly what those items are. ]
no subject
She doesn't even need to turn to recognize that voice. Outside her family, Chiyo is possible the one person she's known the longest and can't possibly fool her. She has to run, get away somehow, but she's standing here in front of her own locker that's still open and blanking on what to do.
Slowly, Mafuyu turns her head and— whips her head right back around, wanting to hide inside her locker because yep, that's Chiyo, and she can absolutely not let Chiyo see the weapons. Ninja stars and brass knuckles get chucked inside among the rest of the junk that had made it impossible to close all the way before, leaving her with just the stuffed doll in her hands while she finally manages to slam the door shut.
Evidence hidden. You got this, Mafuyu, just play it cool. ]
I— That is... [ She sneaks another glance at Chiyo, heart pounding. ] I wanted to give the rabbit...

But not the odd ninja stars. Silver hits the ground before he gets sliced, and Totodile... kind of just ducks, but that star's nowhere near him.]
Hey, what the hell are you doing?
[...He hasn't immediately recognized her, at least.]
no subject
Mafuyu means to run around Silver and grab her things and relocate somewhere people aren't getting in the way of her haphazardly flinging stars around, but Totodile catches her eyes and she skids to a stop right in front of them both. ]
What the hell is that.
[ It's cute? In a bitey, alien way. But more than that, it's a bright, bright blue that there's no way she can overlook among the dead grey grass all around. ]

But his attention is caught when he hears a locker slamming shut violently from an adjacent hallway. He peeks around the corner and witnesses...some boy with an armful of miscellaneous sharp things? What the hell, who even is this kid? He'd never seen him around before.
Now he's just suspicious. Of what, he's not sure, but something is definitely Up here. He steps into full view and shouts down the hall at the guy. ]
Hey! What are you doing?
no subject
Clearly, the only suspicious person in the area is this boy who freezes in place, and belatedly turns his head away, as if looking down the hall at somebody else that might be the culprit. It sure as heck isn't Mafuyu, who is that??? This has nothing to do with her.
Mouth shut, head down, she starts power walking out of the hall.
Breaks into a run.
Good bye. ]

B adds to your stack of tags
So he's going to peek into Mafuyu's little training session, but from the wrong avenue. The ninja stars miss his head a couple of centimeters above, leaving the poor dog with an uneven and inverted mohawk.
Takumi is quiet... with his mouth gaping open, appalled by what has just happened. ]
What the fucking hell are you doing?!
[ He doesn't even recognize her... A+ ]
no subject
Sorry! [ "Sorry!!" There's no way this can be Mafuyu. ] I was testing something out! It didn't work.
[ And there's no way Takumi would let this slide if he knew it were her, so Mafuyu hurries past him to retrieve that ninja star and maybe pack things up and go home right this instant before he figures her out. ]

Oh. Oh hell no. Who the fuck is responsible for this impromptu haircut?!
He turns to the source of the murder weapon and-- what the fuck is that girl wearing and is that a wig ]
Oi! What the fuck do you think you are doing?! [ Sena is known for his mean streak but man, he is fucking pissed. ] You could've gotten me killed?!
no subject
Gritting her teeth so she isn't tempted to shout, her voice rising a pitch every time she forgets to lower the tone in pretending, Mafuyu stalks past Sena— don't make eye contact. She flattens the wig on her head like it's a hat instead of actual hair, using the motion to block her eyes when she passes right by him to retrieve her ninja star. ]
I didn't kill you, so it's okay!
[ You're fine, it's fine, let her live... ]

C!!!
--but that won't be happening tonight, with a scream rending the air and spiking his heart up into his throat.
His feet are moving before he even consciously recognizes what he just heard, and when the sound of the scream leads him to the river, he stops for a heartbeat, trying to figure out what's going on, when he sees it--
a ... girl?
It's a person, at any rate, and again there's no hesitance in him as he leaps into the water after her. Thank god for swim team making him a strong swimmer, even if he's pretty vague on the basics of rescuing a drowning person. Still, he'll do his best as he reaches her. Can he take hold of and support her without her shoving him underwater in a panic? He doesn't have a flotation device, there wasn't time, but he has to try. ]
Hang on!
[ From behind he'll try to wrap an arm around her middle and pull her above the water's surface. ]
no subject
Head above water, she splutters, coughs, gasps for air in that order— for a moment, freezes and stares at Yu, and then tries to worm her way out of his grasp. ]
Let me go! I need to get it back!

mafuyu
of course.
only i guess he doesn't recognize her because of the wig so she's getting a telling off after all]
Hey! Ya gotta watch what ya do with these things!
no subject
Maybe it's better this way, because she might actually worry if Kaz found out she almost prematurely poked Majima's eye out. As it is, though, she gets there too late and Majima already has the ninja star in his hand, but that doesn't stop her from running up to him and trying to swipe it right back. ]
Yeah, thanks! I'm just going to take that...
[ And run. ]

Crap, a teacher—?!
[ No, it's not. Mafuyu doesn't think so, anyways, eyes widening in recognition for a split second before she tears her eyes away and pretends she doesn't. ]
Nothing's wrong! [ She pulls the items under her shirt before Fai can see, hoping the blades don't scratch up her stomach while she folds her arms over the fabric in the only place that she can hide them. ] Just- just a stomach ache. I gotta go.

and aBSOLUTE FURY BECAUSE EIJUN OH MY GOD SHUT UP
She grabs her backpack this time, because it was such a mistake not to do this in all those other threads, and doesn't help the apparent situation at all by stuffing the weapons and doll inside, only managing to zip the bag halfway before she turns and sprints down the hall, leaving her locker wide open. ]
