[BOOTH] Oh Jack, Who Invited Cricket - CLOSED

[Raja]

It seemed nothing they were saying was going to stop her, but they had to try right? More people seemed to be showing up as he tried again, hoping perhaps some sense might top the random lobbing of flowers and other bits in every direction. She'd raised the things with love right? Wasn't this similar to throwing his minipets around his room and such? Right?

...ok not really, but it worked in his head a bit. "Don't they mean a lot to you if you could be so upset over them? Shouldn't you want to protect that?" Oh... perhaps they were more like his bell collection.

Astra had been curious to see what Professor cricket was up to, and perhaps acquire some of the flowers if she was willing to give any out.

Though what she found when she arrived at the booth was a very enraged Professor, the air filled with the shrieks of angry insects as she went about destroying her own booth. Why in jacks name would she do something like that?!?!

"Professor!!" Astra called out, her small form darting towards the rest of flowers. "Please stop this! If you keep this up there wont be anymore flowers left!" She moved a few out of the way before they could be destroyed. " You worked really hard on this booth, it'll be a shame to see it all broken just because someone wanted to take a few of them!"

((Quest: Yukio))

Yukio remembered passing this particular booth a couple of times. Was even tempted to stop and steal a couple of the mysterious blossoms himself during Cricket's period of absence but he had always managed to stop himself from committing such an unsavoury act in the end. It wasn't hard to stop and see what the sudden commotion was all about with the flurry of activities at this particular booth and what he saw spurred him into action, joining the many others who were scrambling to prevent her from tearing the entire booth and its beautiful flowers apart. He might not know entirely the reasons for her current course of actions but any form of destructive behaviour was certainly uncalled for in the spirit of Scarentines in his own opinion.

Molan spoke up again, dodging a chunk of bits and pieces that soured by his head, a bit too quieted a bit from the speech he'd come up with. Right. Well...

Uh...

"They're nice, don't ruin them?' Like that'll help. So many people had already said it, but nearly being taken out by a chunk of flowers seemed to halt him a bit in his attempts to stop the carnage. The fox wasn't helping much, but he was trying... really... maybe?

Meanwhile, as the others tried to placate the rampaging ghost (ah, how he wished it hadn't been flowers, Fai thought mournfully) Fai was picking up all the blossoms he could find. He took his handful and went to the booth next to hers, gently placing them there before returning to get more.

If there were no flowers being hurt, he had no problem with the rampage--as it was, he would simply have to save her beautiful work as she merrily raged on.

Well, maybe not merrily. But ah well. Rage on, ghost ghoul, rage on. Fai will save your flowers!

((Quest: Yukio))

Did somebody just say Professor? Picking up a few of the blossoms to set them out of harm's way amidst the spreading mayhem, Yukio quickly ducked to avoid having his head connect with one of the pots that had been sent flying. Yet another one that they didn't manage to get to in time. Oh well. It seemed that some of the others' words were slowly getting through to the enraged nurse so he figured that he might as well chip in his share lest there was really nothing left by the end of all this. "If you're indeed a respectable authoritative figure of the academy, shouldn't you see that your current destructive behaviour will make you no better than the ones you're trying to direct your anger at? Please consider desisting your actions at once, Professor."

Molan looked pitifully at the wreckage that was once... probably kind of tasteful? Then again. Maybe not so much considering they were for scarentine's.... he was debating it a bit, lightly picking up a flower that had been discarded as he looked a bit sadly at the nurse. "You know... even if you're mad, destroying that which did nothing won't resolve it." She was just taking out her anger on the wrong things. Honestly, if someone hurt his collection he'd go after them, not his collection.

It seemed reasonable.

Another chunk flung near his head. "And you are probably going to really hurt someone soon..."

Mjoll hadn't actually been to this booth yet, well not until she noticed something was going on, and it looked terribly wrong. Now normally the horsewoman wouldn't be one to butt in but it looked like someone could get hurt.

There was a small frown, "Ma'am, perhaps a humble horsewoman could be of your service?" She gave a small tilt of the head as she watched being well... amused at the amount of damage being caused, "Surely you don't want to hurt your own precious things because someone stole from you?"

Mjoll smiled, "I'm sure there's some better punishment for the culprits."

((Quest: Yukio))

With his ears flattened on his head, Yukio made a short dash before leaping into the air, both his arms outstretched to grab onto the two airborne pots that were sent in that direction. He then landed squarely onto his own two feet, barely managing to keep his own balance with the added weight as he set them down on the ground next. Another two more pots saved from possibly crashing into an innocent monster's head thankfully. Now if only they could keep this up until the Professor finally saw sense! "These blossoms mean a lot to you, don't they? Isn't it sad that you're taking your anger out on these frail life forms that you once lovingly cared for in place of those who deserve your wrath?"

Cricket turned her ire on Yukio and her words. "Make up your mind - am I awful for being angry or should I stay angry? Don't flip flop."

No stat change. Cricket's just grouchy.

 

[Raja]

Had she slowed down? He barely dodged another bunch of thrown items and narrowed his eyes at the currently flowing supply of things.

Not... really.

Was this doing any good? Well, he'd try again. Just... just in case. Maybe. He inched a few steps closer, watching for another bit of crud to dodge before speaking again, tentatively. "They're right, the plants... aren't the ones to blame for this?" He offered, ducking back a bit as something else went flying.

Maybe not the best idea to get close.

At least Cricket was speaking to them, rather than outright attacking. Seemed better than the situation could have been.
His arm still protectively around Sin's waist, Rosc raised one eyebrow over his dark sunglasses. He tried appealing to her rational side.

"Why are you angry?" An evil thought crossed his mind and his mouth twitched ever so slightly, though there was really no way to tell if it was going for a smirk or a frown. Regardless, suggesting that they help the nurse take her anger out on those responsible for it probably wasn't the best way to calm her down.

((Quest: Yukio))

And it seemed that Yukio had somehow managed to get Cricket's attention though it remained to be seen if it would turn out to be for the better or worse. "In my humble opinion, if I may Professor, it is perfectly reasonable to be angry given the unjust that has been done to you if I'm reading things right from the accounts of the many who have bore witness to the actions of those who have since been long gone with your precious blossoms."

Picking up one of the pots he had just saved, he very slowly approached the female, his ears twitching ever so slightly as he readied himself to make a dive for the side should she suddenly decide to lash out at him. Or something. "What I'm proposing is that you direct your anger towards more... constructive activities that will benefit these lovely flowers and yourself. Maybe even those who have come forward to help keep them from harm?" It was a daring proposition on his part of course but he was willing to try to reason his way out of this now that he seemed to have her full attention.

Fai had accumulated quite the pile of flowers on a neighboring booth, and was watching with amusement as the rampaging slowed. He had saved some, at least.

"My dear, you are quite a refreshing sight to watch. Mayhem and destruction are an art, one you excel in. But if you are quite finished, I have several of your blossoms to return to you."

A shame that so many others had been lost, he thought with a sigh as he saw the scattered remains.  

[PhiferWolf]

Uru calmed himself, disengaging as others seemed to have the girl's interest at heart too. They were concerned for her, her interests, and the safety of others. It would appear most of them were students who knew her.

Standing back, he looked on.
