[Action thread: School]

[rogue_pineapple]

[Despite Garnet's pleas, the only reason Mukuro put this plan on hold was because he was too busy brainwashing the poor girl, he needed a day to rest. He played hookie from school (not that that's any different from ordinary day behaviour for him) to sleep. That evening, he committed suicide by jumping off the top of town hall. His corpse lay

[Fran isn't normally one to be effected by many emotions. But he can't get rid of the unease that's been over him recently. The slightly disturbing but not surprising news didn't help.

So not really remembering the way to Master's house Fran finds himself wandering around the school grounds until he finds him, just lucky he's always looked young for his age anyways so none of the drones question him.

Of course, doesn't take him too long to spot a pineapple. With gasoline. Lovely.]

...Master?

[rogue_pineapple]

..Yes? [Mukuro doesn't look surprised to see in. For once, his emotions reflect his pupil's: flat]

What do you want, Fran?

[top_magician]

[That's certainly enough to cause Fran's own emotionless mask to slip a bit. His worry just a tad more obvious.]

Will you tell me what's wrong?

[rogue_pineapple]

[Mukuro looks slightly sympathetic for a moment and then he bursts into hysterical laughter. Not derisive laughter, this is the laughter of an insane man who doesn't know when the laugh and when to cry]

Hey, Fran? Know what this is? [Holds up the gas can]

[top_magician]

[He nods, not sure what else to say. He isn't going to believe everyone who told him Mukuro was a hopeless cause. He doesn't like losing.]

[rogue_pineapple]

Everyone thinks I'm going to set the school on fire.

[top_magician]

And?

[rogue_pineapple]

I'm not.

[top_magician]

Then what are you planning Master?

[rogue_pineapple]

Me?

Nothing. I'm a very normal schoolboy in a very normal town.

[Fran's never been so far out of his element in his life. Main reason for hiding emotions being he's not very good at handling them when he needs to. Like now.

His internal distress is a bit more visible on his face as he grabs hold of Mukuro's shirt sleeve. He just doesn't know what he's supposed to say. For once.]

[rogue_pineapple]

Oya? What's this? A little rabbit caught outside his hole??

Better run, little one, before the snake gets you.

[top_magician]

[There was no possible way this was going to end well for him. Fran's hand moves from the sleeve to send a sharp slap across Mukuro's face.]

If the snake is careless and has already lost it's own way then it can't catch anything.

[rogue_pineapple]

[Mukuro's only ever been slapped by women, so his first reaction to this from his student is to laugh. His second reaction is to tackle Fran to the ground]

You are not one to lecture me.

[top_magician]

[Fran's first reaction is actually letting out an actually surprised noise at that. His mask isn't in place well enough to prevent it. He just stares up at him after that.]

I'm not. But I seem to be the only one to care Master. And you need to stop.

[rogue_pineapple]

Care? You've never cared a day in your life. I taught you to lie, don't try to use it against me.

I will kill myself again tonight, and you're coming with me.
