Description: Mimiru Kasagi will not be denied! Imprisoned within Alma's evil fortress -- which is to say, napping at his apartment -- and about to suffer a fate worse than death -- Alma's wonderful cookies -- she challenges the fighting model to a rematch... but her luck isn't with her, and though she makes a fierce effort, she still clearly needs more training. Someday... (Winner: Alma)
And so the unconscious and defeated Mimiru was taken back to the evil Alma's lair! Oh, horrors upon horrors! What dire fate shall now befall this pretty young flower, at the tender mercy of the villain's machinations!?
The young girl awakens to the smell of baking cookies.
It is the first time she -- or anyone else except Jiro, for that matter -- has been beyond the curtain separating the main area of Alma's apartment from his more personal area, but it does not appear that there is anything worth hiding within. Rather, the curtain only makes the interior seem cozier, and the warm colors, reds and yellows and oranges, give the 'room' a bright but restful ambiance. Mimiru has been laid, it appears, upon a large and comfortable bed, tucked in (how sweet) beneath golden sheets and a thick plaid quilt. Notably, she is neither bound nor gagged, nor has she been stripped of anything save the medal in her back pocket. So don't get any filthy ideas in your heads, you scoundrels.
Few of the items in the room are expensive, but those that are -- like the fine thick rug near the bed, and a mahogany stand upon which two candles and a large photograph have been placed -- are tasteful and unassuming. The area simply has a refined quality. Perhaps it is simply because of who lives here. Perhaps the setup of this place could reflect upon Alma himself; the boundary between inside and outside is sheer and easily traversed, and inside is warm, soothing, yet unpretentious. There are precious things, not left unguarded, but rather left revealed, out of sheer trust and faith.
Even if Mimiru didn't know Alma, it would be hard to be afraid in a place like this.
Alma steps through the curtain, brushing it to the side with the tinkling of beads and revealing the main room beyond, which Mimiru has visited before. He looks just like usual: calm and composed, with that mild friendly smile on his face. The only different is, he's got a big pink fluffy oven mitt on, and in it he is holding a tin tray of cooling cookies. "Are you awake yet, imouto-san?" he asks, softly.
~ She's so cute when she's sleeping. I bet the boys are all over her at school.
...I hope she doesn't make a habit of wiggling her bottom at *them*. ~
The defenseless princess is brought back in the lair of the almighty evil wizard. Forced to sleep by a spell cast by him, only to be awaken by a young prince's kiss. Will it ever happen? Alas, no. It would seem that this beautiful flower will have to rise on her own and find the strenght to over come the wizard's spell and break the curse that has been set upon her.
This sort of unconsciousness is a lot different than any other one. Not out of physical exhaustion but mental one. Like her brain has been set to automatically shut down. It merely results in Mimiru appearing to be so peaceful, so angelic in her sleep... And then eventually, almost magically, the girl regains consciousness, eyes slowly but surely opening up and glancing about for a moment, the expression on her face showing just how lost she is for sometime. Until she actually spots Alma.
The girl blinks a few times and she assesses Alma for a while. She lifts her hand up and rests it on her forehead, "Bleh... Alma... Pink on a guy makes you look so gay..." Mimiru mutters. Talk about a way to actually greet someone when you just wake up. Mimiru closes her eyes and groans, "But... I don't know, maybe I just don't know a thing about fashion..." Mimiru says as she lies back in the bed, trying to recall just what had all happened, "Why am I in your bed already?" Mimiru asks as she glances over to Alma.
"I'm sorry," he replies, completely straightfaced, to the accusation of stepping beyond the thin purple line of metrosexuality. It's not clear exactly why he should be sorry, but he says it like he means it; it's the sort of thing that would make a listener first think 'Aww, that's sweet,' and only a couple seconds too late think 'Wait, why?'. But there's really no other polite response to something like that, is there. "I'm sure your fashion sense is exceptional," he adds judiciously, and as if to show it, he removes the oven mitt and places it gently on a side table. Looks as though the tray has gotten cool enough to hold.
On second thought, considering this guy regularly tosses flame around himself and gets kicked into walls for fun, it's probably going to take a lot to make him burn his fingers. Maybe we shouldn't touch those cookies just yet.
BAmazingly, Mimiru's last casual comment fails to foul Alma up. He probably got his zen back from baking all those cookies. "Well," he says, mild as ever, "I thought about putting you on the floor instead, but decided you'd be more comfortable on the bed." The tall young man then steps forward and seats himself on the side of the bed, leaning over to look at Mimiru with that perfectly composed face. "Besides... this puts us in a perfect position to discuss that favor you owe me."
...wow. He *actually* said that with a straight face. He actually looks completely deadpan. It's almost as though he's not kidding.
...is he kidding?
Finally, those eyes start to twinkle with mirth.
Whew.
Mimiru lets a soft nervous chuckle escape her throat and she lifts a finger up to idly scratch the side of her face, "Ahahah. Well that's a nice joke..." Mimiru says. She bites her lips a little and stares at Alma for a while, her hands instinctively going down for the bed's golden sheet to lift it up to cover herself, even though she's fully clothed. Just an instinctive reaction.
The girl blinks a few times and she hums softly, moistening her lips as Alma actually begins to talk of that favor. And then it all comes back to her and she feels that little bump over her butt being gone and... Ah curse. That's one less medal. It causes her to wince. She heaves a sigh, though, before she can think about her medal too much, her eyes wander off to Alma to stare at him while he trails off and that moment of silence settles in...
Mimiru's eyes wide and she actually gulps, pulling back slightly. She lets out a soft laughter and then says, "Oh! Alma, you big crazy, never on the first date, you should know that." Mimiru says, waving her hand at him dissimingly, half in a mocking way of modesty. Though she puts this joke just to ease up the atmosphere because she obviously didn't like the sparkle in Alma's eyes.
"Heh... heh heh..."
Alma's shoulders start to shake. Uh oh, the villain's plan has been revealed. Here comes the evil laughter...
"Aha haha hahaha!" The young fighting model sets the tray of cookies down so he can reach up to scratch the back of his head, running his hand through his hair as he keeps laughing, with surprising mirth. This much emotion all at once is pretty rare for him. "Hahahaha, oh, imouto-san, you should've seen the look on your face! Ahahaha!" Eyes sparkling, he quirks his head to the side slightly. "Come on, don't look at me like that. Don't you trust me? Anyway, what was I supposed to do, just leave you lying there in the street? You're safe with me." He pauses for a moment, and then adds, with a nod of respect, "Besides, your brother would beat me up if I tried anything."
~ I can't believe she took me seriously.
Maybe my deadpan is more convincing than I thought.
...I should get into film acting! ~
He slides the tray over to the younger girl, still grinning, and picks a still-warm cookie off it. Chocolate chip. Always a winner. "Have one if you like," he says graciously, and then lets his grin settle back into his usual smile. Well, it's probably the first prank he's ever pulled in his entire life. You've got to give him a bit of time to settle down. "Actually, you did offer me a favor. So I was going to ask for a rematch."
Much like she would do with her brother when she makes fun of him, Mimiru actually punches Alma's arm if she can do. With all of her strenght. It isn't much, but it's enough to be annoying that's for sure. She sticks her tongue out at Alma and she says, "You're not funny..." She shakes her head and turns her gaze away, "I let you win that time... With that move, bleh... You just caught me off guard is all." Mimiru says with a few nods of her head.
As the tray is offered, Mimiru just shakes her head and waves her hand about, "No, no thanks, I'm not hungry," She admits. However, as Alma actually tells her what the favor is all about, Mimiru's lips curl into a wide girn, "Ah, so you didn't have enough, eh?" She asks, "I'll take you anytime, anywhere, boy... Oh yeah... Now that I got to think about it, your love boy is gonna be ready by tomorrow, with the shock collar and all, I'll even make a special delivery for my favorite client." Mimiru says, lips curling into a wide grin as she gives Alma a thumbs up.
She smiles and tilts her head to one side, "So... Ready to cry, wonder boy? Or you want to wait a bit 'cause you're not ready for an ass whooping?"
Alma's calm smile does not falter for an instant. "Still confident?" he says rather mysteriously, before stepping off the bed and leaving the tray of cookies there. He runs a hand through his bangs and steps over to draw the curtain back completely, revealing the outside studio room fully for once -- and it appears he's already prepared. There are mats laid out in the center of the floor, and all the furniture (what there is of it) has been carefully moved out of the way. The curtains have been pulled away from the bay window, and light shines through, naturally brightening the room.
"I thought you might be."
He turns his head to look at Mimiru sidelong, pauses to look at her instrutably for a few moments, and then slowly grins and tilts his head once toward the main room. "I'll await you, imouto-san," he says politely, and steps forward once... only to pause again, and remembering himself, adds, without looking back, "If you're not scared, of course."
~ Whoops. Almost forgot to taunt. ~
He paces into the center of the large main room of his apartment and glances around once, checking the dimensions for the forty-second time just to make sure he's covered most possible eventualities, and then calmly leans up to stretch his back.
It's time to rock.

"I always am." Mimiru affirms with a nod as Alma opens up the curtain around his bed. Mimiru's lips curl into a smile and she says, "Well with a bed like that, I guess it could be quite something to actually spend a real night here..." The girl chuckles and while Alma actually attempts to leave this room, Mimiru quickly gets up on the bed and she idly bounces on it.
Not scared, eh? Well when Alma actually turns around, Mimiru bounces and bounces on the bed and she actually lets out a shout as she leaps off head-on on Alma, attempting to deliver him a mighty spear from the bed and spear him off into the other room. If not, she'll just end up spearing some random piece of furniture.

Heh, alright, time to limber up a bit and then--
--oof!
Alma finds himself thrust out of the doorway a bit sooner than he anticipated, but he rolls rather than stumbles and comes up gracefully and easily, rolling his shoulders and raising his eyebrows slightly. "A sneak attack," he murmurs. "Why, imouto-san, how unlike you." But he'd better get her into the main room safely rather than fight here near the doorway, so he lunges and attempts to get a good grip on her, and then just use his superior size and mass to toss her over him and launch her onto the mats.

Without much of a gripe on the ground, it's not too hard for Alma to actually throw her off. And her light built and frame makes it just easier. She lets out a loud 'wee' escape her throat but thankfully, she knows how to absorb those impacts to take less damage. She winces a bit nonethless and forces herself back to her feet. She grimaces and says, "That's the Kasagi's way... Fight for survival, everything's fair."
Mimiru chuckles as she winks to Alma and then says, "Played enough now, feel my wrath!" Mimiru shouts as she rushes over him and hurls her fist him, "SUPER MIMIRU PUNCH!" She shouts.

"Whoops," murmurs the older and much taller youth as he cleanly sidesteps the fearsome Super Mimiru Punch, blinking once, his face serene and slightly bemused. "You missed," he adds helpfully.
And then his eyes flash once with growing fighting spirit, and with a quiet rush of breath his clothes ripple around him and he draws his hands apart to summon a spark of pinkish-purple Psycho Power, which quickly grows into a glimmering sparking orb. "Tenkuuuu..."
His eyes flash once more, and attempting to take advantage of Mimiru while she's unbalanced from her punch, he thrusts out, and the orb exploded into a wide spreading wave of energy, not as fast as his usual Sacred Wave but with a greater area of effect.
"...SEIDAN!"
COMBATSYS: Alma successfully hits Mimiru with Heavenly Ether Blast.

Alma 0/-------/----===|=======\-------\0 Mimiru
Mimiru's unbalanced state makes her a perfectly vulnerable target for Alma's blast of energy. She barely has the time to swirl on her heels and her eyes widen as Alma actually fires off that ball right into her side. The burst is enough to throw Mimiru off away in the apartment, her lack of balance merely causing her to stumble around and fall to the ground as her feet meet a couple of obstacle.
The little girl growls and she forces herself up, sparing a glare in Alma's direction. She bites her lips and says, "Alright, play time's over now..." She says. She then attempts to charge at him and get a hold of Alma's clothing, so that she may quickly sweep him off his legs with her own leg and use her grasp over him to slam him down to the ground.

Alma does indeed fall, but he maintains control the entire way. He manages to avoid Mimiru getting as good as grip on his clothes as she'd need, so when she sweeps his legs out from under him, he controls his fall so that he lands on his back of his own volition, and immediately kip-ups into a rising kick, hoping to take advantage of the momentum he gathered through the fall and knock Mimiru back with his acrobatic skill.
"Hmph!" is his quiet grunt of effort.

Unfortunately, Mimiru doesn't quite get knocked back by Alma's kick. She lifts her arms up and she actually braces for the incoming kick, merely staggering back to absorb the impact. It still makes her wince though as her frail arms had to take most of the hit but it allows her, fortunately, a chance to actually rush over Alma as he gets back up.
With a bit of luck, he won't have the time to react as Mimiru quickly turns around him to cling to Alma's back and let her arms wrap around his waist. If she suceeds to lock her hold on Alma, she'll simply hurl him off over her head and arch her back to actually carry Alma all the way over to suplex him.

But Alma's Psycho Power-enhanced reflexes save him this time around. He staggers in a feint and twists, and just barely avoids Mimiru's grasping hands as he turns to face her, turning all of his momentum into a leap as his feet ignite, his inner energy again revealing itself more overtly as he jumps up and kicks high with a series of flaming kicks, attempting to batter the small girl up into the air and off her feet.

Alma 0/-------/--=====|=====--\-------\0 Mimiru
Looks like Alma turns the tide! Things don't look all too good for super Mimiru. The girl winces a little and she attempts to regain her composture, build up her guard once more and avoid any kind of counter-attack. As of sort, as Alma attempts to kick her, Mimiru tries to control the incoming physical attack but unfornately, the added bit of psycho power to hit just seems to catch Mimiru off-guard and in the end, she fails to either avoid it or actually attack Alma at the same time.
And the series of kicks are more than enough to actually knock the girl up off her feet and in the airé
And now, the finishing blow!
As Mimiru falls from the air, beaten by Alma's series of kicks, the young man drops to the mats first, and eyes burning with surging battle passion, he maintains his flaming feet, and twists into a leaping hooking kick, flying out with a final explosive kick--
"ENGEKI SHOOTER!"
Is this the end for Super Mimiru!?
COMBATSYS: Mimiru parries Alma's Engeki Shooter!

Alma 0/-------/--=====|======-\-------\0 Mimiru
Seems like not! Mimiru's not about to give in! The girl growls and she actually swiftly avoids the explosive kick, swiftly landing off to the ground before Alma can actually finish the serie of kicks. At least that's a little of a slaughter Alma just avoided.
With a growl, Mimiru dashes over to Alma and she attempts to grapple him, opting for another one of her more brutal grappling technique. She gets a hold of Alma's clothes and then, using her weight, she actually forces herself backward to make Alma trip and in the process, make him roll over her and throw him off away.

Hmph, not bad. But Alma's not going to take that lying down! Or falling down, as it were. With a slight quirking of his mouth, he comes down prepared for her attack, and despite her burst of speed manages to roll away unharmed, and then gets up with a twist, and lunges forward, lashing out with a fierce punch aimed right for the side of Mimiru's forehead, calculated to stun her into submission. Accept your fate, oh pretty flower!

This flower will never wane! It refuses to do so! Mimiru grunts a bit as she fails to get a hold of Alma and she actually swiftly pulls away from Alma's incoming fist. While she avoids it, she attempts to get a hold of Alma's punch and thro him off over her, using his momemtum to make him trip over and hurl him off. "It's not over yet! I'm going to kick your butt!"

"Eh?" Wow, she's picking up speed all of a sudden. Alma finds himself unbalanced by his failed punch, and can't stop himself from being hurled to the ground by the nimble girl. With a quiet grunt as he breaks his fall, the young man rises, eyes flashing, and casts the much smaller girl a dark smile. "Are you sure you don't just want to surrender now? It will go easier on you..."
And rearing back, he aims a fierce and powerful thrust kick right at the girl, strong enough to knock her right off her feet and scatter the petals of that flower forever...

Alma 1/-------/=======|
Nimble? Mimiru hasn't been pretty nimble recently, alas. It would seem that her lack of training has been getting to her and she's having a hard time getting up. The powerful kick knocks her off her feet and when Mimiru actually falls down with a loud thud, the wind's knocked out of her. She squirms a little and coughs and gasp on the ground, obviously out of it the poor thing.
Well, seems like she lost that rematch. The petals of this flower's been forever scattered.
Not *forever*, surely...
Tsk, he hit her too hard again. At this rate, he's going to break her spirit, and he could never live that down. Alma looks quietly at the gasping girl on the ground, and immediately, unthinkingly, drops his fighting stance to reach down and pick her up into his arms. Didn't this happen just a little while ago? Oh, well. "Huh, that was a lucky kick," he murmurs, more to himself than to her. He pauses, and gazes down, soft-eyed, at the small young woman. "Take deep breaths," he advises soothingly. "Here, I'll settle you down again."
Carrying her back into the other room, he lays her onto the bed again and, with touching care, tucks her in. He straightens, looking down at her, and then smiles, looking like an older brother taking care of a sick sister. Well, he *does* call her 'imouto-san'. And he doesn't have a family of his own...
...besides, her *real* brother's useless, eh?
~ Someday, I know she'll turn the tables on me, as long as she keeps it up. Someday... ~
