2000/1/03-04 - Effortless Everyday

"What? No. Why would you have me deliver these...no." Sam blinks as well. "I mean Leaf Ronin. He can manipulate leaves, so he can probably do the same to paper to steal money and get this into my room."

[Agita]

"Oh. That guy. Yeah, that makes sense. So what, he wants to stab Scattershot with nude shots of girls? That's pretty hilarious, but, uh. Also, if Scattershot opens it on the spot, or if you get caught carrying it somehow, you're taking the fall. I say take the Bens and burn the porn or something." She rifles through the pictures to get a sense of what times they were taken at and from where. "I guess I'll pay more attention to paper in the locker room from now on."

[Bozwevial]

"The thing is, he'll just make more trouble for me unless I follow through, and maybe even if I do. He needs to think I'm not useful as a way to get to Scattershot anymore." Sam frowns. "What I don't get is why he thinks this would work. Stupid, stupid plan."

[veekie]

The shots look to Kiley to be taken at a low angle, but not particularly well aimed. Like if someone had a camera in place but no idea what the camera was actually pointing at. It must be on the floor somewhere.

[Agita]

"Wait, so hold on." Kiley gives the big envelope a look as she stuffs the photos back into the envelope and then tosses it into Sam's bathroom and closes the door. "What did you say Ronin's power was again? Paper control? How would he even spring the paper on Scattershot without being there? Sensing through the paper?"

[Bozwevial]

"That and being able to change into a collection of leaves or paper. Which--hang on--" Sam dives into the closet for his school jacket and pulls out the scrap of paper he found earlier in his textbook. He carries it into the bathroom, drops it into the toilet, and flushes it, then turns on the bathroom fan before shutting the door again. "Just in case. But that makes it a lot harder to pull one over on him."

[Agita]

"Well..." Kiley purses her lips, then grins. "Got a lighter?"

[veekie]

There is no response at all to any of the threats by the paper.

[Agita]

"So if he can turn into paper, what are the odds..." After getting a lighter, Kiley holds the envelope above the bathroom's sink and waves around with the flame as if to set it on fire a few times, without actually setting it on fire. No response. "Guess he's not actually in there." She drops the envelope again. "Well... I guess it's up to you, but I can't really approve of passing around peep photos, so..."

[Bozwevial]

"I don't either, but I'm also not fond of constantly looking over my shoulder in case I get stabbed by a bush." Sam frowns, idly flattening out the bills. "So we need to lean on him somehow...I don't suppose Prayer takes requests?"

[Agita]

"From teenagers? One of whom is in the other's dorm room right now?" Kiley shakes her head with pursed lips. "I wasn't going to point it out, but... Anyway, I'm pretty sure this guy is a repeat offender. My best guess is I could be on the lookout for cameras in the locker room and ambush him when he gets them."

[Bozwevial]

"It's only awkward when you point it out." Sam grins. "But that could definitely work. He's too stupid to decide to quit while he's ahead...in the meantime, you should probably take the rest of the shots and actually burn them. The last thing I need is to get caught with that in my room or in my bag during a council meeting."

[Agita]

"Burning it is. What about the money? I did shell out four hundred for a new zapper yesterday... On the other hand, if he can sense through paper, he might be able to tell the money he left with you is with someone else."

[Bozwevial]

"Urgh. Yeah, good point...I guess just stash all of it in between the walls for right now in case he decides to fuck me over? I can't believe I'm looking forward to student council for once. There's no possible way it could be worse than Leaf Ronin trying to get me to help him ask Scattershot out on a hatedate."

[Agita]

"Gotcha." Kiley takes both the envelopes and sticks them in one of the interior walls. "Guess that's that, then. Have fun with council."

[Bozwevial]

By way of answer, Sam collapses face-first onto his bed and grumbles into his pillow.

[veekie]

The night passes without further incident, though every scrap of paper in the room seems highly suspect now.
