FAIRIES! (RL with Crocker and Kazuha, frontdated to the 14th.)

[aikido_2_dan]

Perhaps it was a tiny bit weird, but Kazuha was interested in these 'crack pot' theories of one Denzel Crocker. She'd always been interested in stuff like that, often believing them instinctively until Heiji called it stupid. However, that part of her was pretty much dashed to bits after meeting a real witch from her world.

So it would be good to know some 'real' information about them. Especially if there was a way to deal with them in case she had to fight one that wasn't so nice.

...well, it could happen, couldn't it?

So after thanking the worldhopper, she walked down the block to the Elementary school. She looked around as she stepped onto the school grounds. Deserted. Always seemed so weird a place that was so busy during the week can be so empty.

"Now, where's Crocker-san?" She murmured, looking around.

Denzel meanwhile was out fairy god parent hunting, a pharse here meaning he was pacing up and down the neighborhood with his magic tracking device enclosed tightly between his two hands, deviously grinning down at it to see if it went off. However, something did go off and it wasn't his magic tracker. Rather his watch. Crocker 'dawwed' in disappointment, and taking one hand off the tracking device shook a fist in the air; "You may have won this round fairies. But I, Mr. Crocker WILL find you."

The teacher paced back over to tthe school, hunchbacked, the device still between his skinny fingers.

"Sorry, I'm late. I was -" He contined on with spazz talking as well as he jerked his body in many different directions, "FAIRY!" His body and voice relaxed, "Hunting."

He paused for a moment. "You must be Kazuha - san, correct?" As he pointed the magic tracker at her. You know, just to make sure.

Kazuha jumped as she saw the seizure spazz thing up close, looking very disturbed by it. "...I really think you need to look up what that is. That CAN'T be normal," she said, just remembering to speak in english.

But she did offer a smile after she got over the worry, holding out her hand to Crocker. "It is nice to meet you in person, Crocker-san." A bit creepier than she imagined, but she's meant creepy looking people who were rather nice before. For the moment she ignored having some strange device pointed at her.

^{(Just a note I dont know how flakey I'll be in the week off so bare with me please. Must likey it will be awhile once I stop tonight)}

Denzel brushed off the look of her being disturbed by him, he was needless to say, use to it sadly by now and pointed the dector away from her. "Don't mind that I was just checking you for MAGIC!" His hair jumping a few feet off of his skull.
"I will don't worry." Crocker wasn't going to mention he already gets needled, at the least once a week for his spaz attacks. Details, details for later.

Smiling back, took the offered hand and squeezed it, not too hard but not soft either and shook it.

"Pleasure to meet you too." He was in fact, rather pleased to meet someone who actually talked to him and didn't think he was bananas.

"We can talk in there. Follow me." Walking up the stairs ahead of her, and unlocked the doors with his key. True, it was the summer time and true the kchildren had off. However, the staff didn't. Which meant his classroom they wouldn't have any privacy or at home with his mother. No, there was someplace else they would have to go to talk.

((OOC: Okay.))

Kazuha jumped again. Was hair SUPPOSED to do that? "Oh. No, I don't have any magic myself," she said. As clue as it would be. "All I have is a good luck charm."

She relaxed a bit when he said he'd get it checked out. Really, that had to be doing something that wasn't good for the body.

She shook his hand politely and followed him inside the school.

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's always good. It will keep the anti -fairies." Jerked his neck sharply to one side.
"At bay." Keeping a pace that was close to hers walked along side, smiling as much as a Crocker could without looking down right creepy. Their footsteps echoed down the empty hall. A settle broom sweep could somewhere on that floor. Denzel continued looking decently happy, that was of course, they passed the teacher's lounge, which the door was a jarred, and sounds of snickering and laughing could be heard. Out of curiosity peeked in, and saw one of the teachers imitating his spazz attacks and shouting 'fairies.' Pushing open the door open all the way stood in the doorway and cleared his throat staring at them unamused. There was a brief pause before more out busts of laugher followed.
Grumbling in disgust, signaled Kazuha to follow.

"This way." His smile now to straight face.

[aikido-2-dan.livejournal.com]

"Anti-fairies? What's an anti-fairy?" Kazuha asked curiously.

She stopped when Crocker did, looking over his shoulder into the teacher's lounge. She frowned and shot a glare at the teachers before following Crocker, not even waiting to see how they'd respond. "They're setting a bad example," she said, frowning deeply.

^{(Sorry about net cut me off and aim refuses to log me back on unless I reboot >:)}

"What else did you think caused 'bad luck', now?" Crocker questioned her.

Denzel blocked whatever Kazuha had said out. As in his mind he mauled over and over New World Order, New World Order. Before halting in front of his locker, checking to see if anyone was around, placed the device into a pocket so he could put in the locker combination, blockng that as good as he could with his body. Then with a 'click' the locker opened, stepped behind it, still holding the door, waved his hand, signaling for her to step in. "After you."

Eyeing continuingly that no one else was watching.

[aikido-2-dan.livejournal.com]

"Karma? Some spirits?" Kazuha said. She never really thought about it too much.

Kazuha was fuming in her mind at the teachers. Really, it was one thing to think someone was insane, but to mock them like that? It just wasn't good. What sort of message were they sending to the kids?

Kazuha stared as he opened the locker, raising an eyebrow? She stepped forward, looking inside. "Is there something in here?" She asked, not quite stepping inside. It looked like a normal locker.

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

"Well, fairies are in a sense spirits." Was the dry reply.

Minus the doodles, Crocker had taped to the wall of his locker like some child, all of fairies and wands, it did look rather normal. Unless, you happened to notice there was a button tucked away inside.

"Yes, it's the entrance to the Crocker Cave." Whispering over to her, and signaled with his head for her to step in all the way, still eyeing around the hallway.

[aikido-2-dan.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's true, I guess. But I meant more Shinto spirits," Kazuha commented.

"The...Crocker Cave?" Kazuha said. Well, that sounded weird. But there was a button...

And this mental was weak enough she was pretty sure she could get herself out if she needed.

So she stepped into the locker, pressing the button curiously.

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

Denzel shrugged, he wasn't about to question someone's religious. Besides, he knew he was right after all.

"Shhhhhhhh." Was the sharp whisper acting as if they where in fact in the library. He watched her step in and then push the button, as the floor opened and shallowed her. Darting his head,cautiously, with a few raised brows and shifting eyes, followed her as Crocker slammed his locker door behind him.

As he fell down though the tube into the Crocker Cave, that was built underneath the school, and we wonder where all his money from his teacher's salary has gone.

Landing with a 'thud' on blue metal, which he was use too by now, eyed over for Kazuha as he flipped on a light switch slowly engulfing the Crocker Cave with some light.

"Should I give you the tour before we get started?"

His hands raised and finger tips pressed against one another lightly.

His wrist watch beeped again. "Time to feed the FAIRY!!!!" As he spazzed again a bit at the end there.

[aikido-2-dan.livejournal.com]

Kazuha, like any sane person would, screamed as she suddenly found no ground beneath her.

"Oof!" She grunted as she hit the floor, hissing in pain. She was not used to hitting metal after falling from the end of a slide.

"You need cushions..." Kazuha muttered, sitting up and rubbing her legs.

She looked up at the beeping. "You...have a fairy?"

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

"You learn to land on your feet after awhile." Not that it mattered much to Crocker, he hurt himself during his spaz attacks falling from a slide was gentle. It was also usual, as well to have guests down here.

"YES!" He replied exicted with glee, so much his hair once again flew a few feet into the hair and his eyes crossed.

"But it's not a FAIRY GOD PARENT!" This time pullig a mallet out of nowhere hitting himself on the head with it.

"Just a fairy. From another world. Follow me." As he lead in that direction, almost dinosaur like.

[aikido-2-dan.livejournal.com]

"Gonna kill your knees," Kazuha said, pushing herself up. It wasn't like she wasn't used to pain. Just falling wasn't normal.

How did his hair keep doing that? Kazuha wasn't sure she wanted to know.

"....you do know you just hit yourself with a mallet, right?" She asked.

She nodded and followed. Well, it would be cool to see a fairy.

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

Crocker stared at Kazuha, twindled his fingers, smiled creepy as if he was saying 'oopie'. He wasn't exactly aware he had just done that. It did after all start quickly and end quickly without any conscience decision on his part.

Then directed her over to a corner of the Crocker Cave, past the library of myth and legend books. To a table, where a glass fishtank that was horizontal set up, the only opening at the top where a large butterfly net was placed, tightly over it, inside the bark and leaves Crocker had gather where he had gotten her, was the fairy (http://www.silindor.com/images/dolls/lith/fantasy/leaf-fairy.gif).

"You do understand that anything that is said or seen in here is classified, correct?"

[aikido-2-dan.livejournal.com]

There were times...Kazuha was glad she could topple a man three times her size. This was one of them because she was starting to wonder if Crocker really was unhinged. Even if in a matter that wasn't him believing in fairies.

"She's beautiful," Kazuha murmured, leaning close to see the fairy better. "And I know," she replied to Crocker. As long as he didn't seem dangerously unhinged anyway.

"What's with the butterfly net?"

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

"Well, to keep her from flying away of course." Crocker stated this as if it was obvoius, as he gathered the nuts, berries and fruit pieces, carefully, removed a small potion of the butterfly net and dumped that inside and replaced the net tightly. "Butterfly nets are one of the few things fairies cannot penetrate."

The fairy hunter said as he grabbed his clipboard and scibbled on it.

[aikido-2-dan.livejournal.com]

"Really? Maybe fairies are related to bugs somehow?" Kazuha said. Some sort of instinctual fear that won't let them fight the net?

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

"Actually," Crocker went to correct Kazuha, "I believe it to have something to do with the compounds of the net and the weaving. Because.." He tapped the top of his pen on the glass. "They can't penetrate that either." His voice trailed off with a quick creepy smirk before he finished scibbling and placed the clipboard on the desk along side of the fairy. "Care for some shrimp puffs?"

[aikido-2-dan.livejournal.com]

"Is there a similar weave with the glass and butterfly net?" Kazuha asked curiously.

"Shrimp puffs? Sure, why not?" She said, offering him a polite smile. He really did have a creepy smile.

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

"Yes,actually. If you magenify them both under a microscope, thousands of times you can see simliaries." Which got old crock pot thinking back to a post he stalked. If one could keep an outsider,'world hopper' out by those means somehow... In theory, it should work. Since the 'world hopping' appears to done mainly by magic. But one cannot encase a whole world within glass or butterfly net... Perhaps, this would be a better way of trapping the world hoppers instead. Crocker was so wrapped up in his train of thought he almost missed the reply. "Oh, great! I'll get them!" He smiled creepy once more as he went off to fetch the shrimp puffs from the frig. As he did he noticed something strange. A phrase here meaning that being with another person felt GOOD! Prehaps, it was because Kazuha didn't think Denzel was a 'crock pot' for his ideas and beliefs. Or prehaps, it was she kindly pointed out his spazzing. Or just maybe it was the fact she didn't right away go; Eww. Shrimp puffs are gross. Smirking to himself, brought over the dish shrimp puffs rested, offering her some.

[aikido-2-dan.livejournal.com]

"Really? That's kind of cool, that glass is like that," Kazuha said. No, she didn't think Crocker was crazy for his beliefs. Probably crazy from being called crazy. People would snap eventually under that sort of thing.

So she was going to be careful about him unless he proved dangerous. Being crazy wasn't too bad if you didn't hurt others.

Kazuha stood up straight when Crocker came back, picking up a shrimp puff. "Thanks," she said, taking a bite. Hm, not as good as some fish dishes, but not that bad.

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

Crocker was delighted she eatting the shrimp puffs. As she did questioned her; "Care to look around the Crocker Cave some more or ask me more questions, regarding FAIRIES!?" Spazzing only slightly as Denzel was able to recapture the dish back in his palms. Either worked for Crocker. Just as long as she didn't find his stockfull of plans to destroy, Turner.

[aikido-2-dan.livejournal.com]

Kazuha looked at the fairy and then around. "Well, we can talk about fairies too while you show me around? I've never been in a secret underground...cave? Lair?" What does one call such a place other than a lair or cave? But she always thought of rocks for a cave.

"How did you afford this anyway?"

[crackpotcrocker.livejournal.com]

"Excellent!" Crocker popped in a shrimp puff for himself, chewed and shallowed as he walked over to the table where the fairy rested in her glass tank placing the platter down. However, upon inspection saw the fairy had 'vanished.' "Oh, no you don't I'm onto you." Knowing very well the fairy was just playing a trick, by being invisble, so Denzel would take off the butterfly net. The fairy soon reappearing in a pout. Then Crocker guided Kazuha and himself to his library. That contained everthing from books on Fairies to Dragon Lore to Ancient Greece to folklore to Children's Bedtime stories and everything in between. Some of the books looking rather old and ancient themselves. "My teacher's salary." Was the reply.
