Luz. She didn't like this game. At all. She couldn't make the puck in to Gus' slot, getting a bit angry, freezing her side of the table from her grip. Gus had played seven (7) different matches with Luz, the witch not winning a single point in any of the games. She now kinda hated Gus, the male being very smug about winning.
The witch, now had a murder plans for Viney, Amity, and Lilith. Those three (3) together, were basically devils if Luz was in danger. "I don't feel like playing anymore." Luz hissed bitterly.
Gus shrugged, "That's alright, guess you can't handle another loss."
Luz nearly cracked the striker in her left hand, sending a death glare to Gus. He looked behind her, the male getting happy, "Hey Matt!"
The witch looked back, Mattholomule was right behind her, approaching the duo, "It's Mattholomule, Agustus." He muttered.
"It's Gus, Matt." He copied.
"It's, step away from Luz or I kick your @$$, or I kick your @$$."
The witch went over to the new human, hugging her tightly, "Amity, hey." Mattholomule mumbled, kinda terrified of her.
Luz looked up at the human, Amity leaning in, the witch wanting to whisper something to her, "What is it Luz?" Amity asked.
The witch whispered in her ear, an evil grin spreading on the humans lips, the human keeping Luz close when she finished. "Agustus Porter." Amity hissed.
"Erm- Yes?"
"Do you think you're too young to die?"
"Sadly, younger have died- But no-?"
"Great! Piss Luz off one more time and I'll be happy to kill you~"
Luz stuck her tounge out at Gus, "Nyeh!"
Mattholomule smirked, putting his hand on Luz's shoulder, Amity pulling the witch away from him. "Don't you dare touch her without consent."
Luz blew raspberry at him, Amity glaring at the others, "Just a simple pat Blighty. Luz is a bad girl, you know it." Mattholomule muttered, putting his hands up.
"Tch." Amity clicked her tounge. "Come on Luz, let's go try a different game.
The Blight took Luz away, back to the button pressing game, the witch actually wanting to try and get all the bigger prizes. Amity slid her card, Luz picking the color pink, managing to get to the major prize ring. Purple, yellow, blue, red, orange, red, green, red, pi- And there goes the ring. She hit it right on the color, but it says she missed.
Luz clicked her tounge, grumbling quietly as Amity slid her card again. Picking Yellow once more. Second slice, red, orange, green, orange, blue, pink, yell- Miss. The witch snarled, letting out a small whine, Amity patting her head. "It's okay, it's just a game."
The witch whined, snarling and spamming the button in anger, "It's cheating Amity!"
"It's alright, it's just a game, it's not hurting anyone."
"It's making me mad." Luz pouted, now noticing something. "Hey where's my bunny?"
Gus game over, the witch taking back her things, "Thanks Gus!"
"Not mad at me anymore hm? It's no biggie, you trying that game again?"
Luz nodded, looking at all the prizes again, "It is very difficult. It likes to lie."
"Lie?"
"The games rigged since she won." Amity cut in. "She got the mushroom and a light up box with letters."
"Oh yeah, those are cool. Anyways, since Matt's here, he's going to help us get points. Come on Luz, let's go back to the piano game."
The witch let her bag fall to the side, opening it, putting her bunny in, closing it to where it's head popped out, going with Gus, mushroom speaker in hand. Amity hummed quietly, having a small, idea. And hey, if it's a thought of Luz, it's a good one. Right?
^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^
Wrong. Very wrong. Not good though- ts of Luz. Very sad and gay thoughts of Luz. Please, get out. Escapio! Escapado! Leave! Exit! 'I don't want to kiss Luz I don't want to kiss Luz I don't want to kiss Luz, I don't want to kiss Luz, I want to kiss Luz. NO PUT THE DON'T, AFTER I.' Amity slapped herself, obviously panicking.
She screamed when someone tapped her shoulder, falling off her chair, "Oh my gosh Luz- I'm sorry-" Amity fumbled, getting up off the floor, going towards the witch.
"It's fine- It's okay- I'm alright-" Luz spoke, shushing the human. "Don't panic or I'll start panicking-"
Amity took a deep breath, sighing heavily, "Sorry, okay. Did you need something?"
Luz nodded, "Gus wants to know what prize he should get, he thinks you should help pick since you assisted us with points."
The Blight nodded slowly, trying so hard not to go back to her earlier thoughts. "Okay, that's fair I guess."
The witch took Amity's hand carefully, guiding her back to the arcade machines, then past them, and to the prizes. Luz went to the duo in the corner, Mattholomule pointing to one, Gus arguing that it wasn't a good choice. "Just ask the others, they'll pick that one." Matt hissed.
"Pick which one?" Amity asked, looking up at the more expensive options.
Mattholomule pointed to the mini soccer game. It goes on a desk and can be played with two-four (2-4) players. "Agustus says we shouldn't get that one, but I got most of the points and I suggest we pick that one."
Luz stepped back, Amity also taking a step back as the witch was still holding her hand, "Why not get that one? It's not as much and has three (3) different games." Luz explained, pointing to the combo table. "Or get each one of those, 1,200 points for one of the games but we have more then enough to get them." She went on, signaling to the separate games.
Air hockey, soccer, pong ping. "Great idea Luz." Amity congratulated, patting her head.
The witch smiled, Gus checking out the options, Mattholomule pointing to one of them, talking with Gus for a bit. They finally agreed on a decision, Mattholomule holding them for Gus while the shorter male did some math on his phone. "We have 3,287 points left." Gus said, showing his screen.
Amity stepped back, the witch yelping as she stumbled back, nearly loosing her balance, "Warn me next time." Luz mumbled.
"Well now we're even, see anything you like?" Amity asked, signaling to the slightly higher shelves.
Luz examined them, pointing to a small game, roughly 250 points. "Do you want that?" Gus asked.
"What is it?" Luz asked.
"It's a motorized fishing game. Wind up the game, grab your small fishing line, wait for a fish to open it's mouth, and catch it." Gus explained, taking the mini toy, offering it to Luz.
The witch tilted her head to the side slightly, confused, "Wind..Up..?"
Amity pointed to the small white nozzle, "See that? You twist it for some time and when you're ready, let it go. It'll move the fish and spin them around so you can try and grab them." Amity pointed to the nine (9) fish. "Drop your hook in their mouth and pull them out."
Luz hummed quietly, nodding slowly, "What are you getting Ms.Blight?" Gus nervously asked.
"Just call her Luz's girlfriend. It's not that hard." Mattholomule muttered.
"There's a space in between." Amity hissed.
Luz looked up from her toy, not having payed attention, "Who's what now?" The witch asked.
"Nothing," Amity mumbled. "It's not important. Come on, it's almost my turn."
Gus led the way back to the counter, the woman there taking Gus' card, sliding it on the machine, typing something in. She glanced at what they got, counting under her breath, handing Gus his card back, "3,287." The woman muttered.
"Huh? Did you count her thing?" Gus asked, pointing to Luz's game.
The woman nodded, "No one gets em anyways, we plan on just givin' em away. 3,287."
Mattholomule went over to a small shelf, picking something up, going back to the group, handing the plushie to Gus, the woman doing some math quietly. "2,257."
Gus looked down at the plush, a very fluffy dragon holding a bucket in its paws. "Matt-"
"Don't say anything." Mattholomule hissed, a blush creeping up on his face. "I kept track of my points, you keep that."
*Remember, Mattholomule is cannonically Gus' friend
Gus put the plushie and boxes on the counter, doing the same thing Luz did with her bunny plushie, the dragon poking it's head out the side of his 'girlish' backpack. It was Ferric Man themed, but it was in neon and most of it was pink. He liked it though, it was cool and blinding.
*Relating to iron
Mattholomule took the boxes, holding them for Gus, the younger male taking his card back. "Amity are you sure you don't want anything?" Gus asked.
"I'm sure. Thanks though."
Wow Gus is actually taming the lion, he's starting to wonder if she bites. Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't. He didn't want to test it. "Have a nice day." The woman waved.
They all waved back, Luz giving her a cheerful you too!, and going with the others. They went to the bowling alleys, right on time, it was Amity's turn. The Blight let Luz's hand go, Skara having gotten a Spare just now. Amity took her bowling ball, the other four sitting down, Luz sitting by Skara.
The human gently nudged her, the witch looking over at her, "Yeah, Lilith couldn't do it-"
"Ah, too scared?"
"Nope. She didn't want to explain this to me again if I found out." Skara sighed, resting her arms on the table. "You hungry?"
"No, I'm not. Thank you for asking though."
"Want Pocky?" Skara asked, pointing to the full, unopened box.
"Amity said you could play a game, but I already forgot what the game was, can we try?"
Skara shook her head, "Don't want to get my @$$ kicked again. Want a stick anyways?"
Luz nodded, Skara grabbing the box, opening it and the bag, offering some to Luz. The witch took two, putting one in her mouth, Skara taking three (3) putting them in her mouth sideways, and biting them in half. She ended up with six (6) pieces, choking on five (5) of them, having spit one out.
The witch pat her back, sliding over the water pitcher and a cup, Skara immediately pouring all eight (8) ounces the cup could hold, downing the entire thing. Amity came over, patting Skara's back, the human still choking on her pieces. "Skara your ex is here!" Luz exclaimed.
Skara roughly punched lower then her neck, swallowing the pieces, fixing her posture, and drinking some water calmly. Amity snorted, Luz quietly apologizing, "I don't know what your ex looks like, but at least you're alive!" Luz smiled nervously.
The human whined, slamming her head on the table, someone patting her shoulder, Skara looking to her side, "Oh great, Amelia's ex." Skara hissed. "---- off lover boy."
"Ah, still a no eh? You know I'll wait for you cutie, I've forgotten about Amelia entirely." He smirked, ruffling Skara's hair.
She nearly bit him, the male pulling back a bit, "We don't go out with cheaters, let alone football drug addicts." Skara growled.
"First of all, it was just a swig of booze." He muttered. "Never did it again. Second of all, I didn't cheat. It was an accident and she found out before I could explain."
Amity elbowed him away, Skara shooing him back to hell as she said, "I don't go for..Whatever you are." Skara muttered, signaling to, well, whatever he was. "Amelia doesn't want you and neither do I."
He clicked his tounge, glaring at Amity and walking off, leaving the group alone. "Hey Skara! Your turn!" Willow exclaimed.
Luz flinched when some other team cheered, having zoned out, blocking outside noises and finally hearing all the sounds again. Know what else she heard? "Luz is that you?"
The witch perked up, getting up from her seat and quickly hugging the new human, "Bo!"
"Knew it was you, little weirdo." Bo smiled, giving the witch a tight squeeze.
Luz held on to her tightly, knowing well that Bo was a safe person to be around. Skara got up, sliding away and going towards the alley. Amity glared at Bo, Bo glaring right back at Amity. "Luz come on, let's go to the mall beside us." Amity muttered, pulling the witch back.
She kept Luz close, Bo clicking her tounge, Luz flinching when Skara got a strike. "Yo Blight!" Mattholomule exclaimed. "Your turn!"
"You take my turn, Luz do you want to go to the mall?" Amity asked, looking down slightly at the witch.
"Sure?"
"If you don't want to, you can keep playing with Porter." Amity fumbled, feeling way too protective of Luz, taking a step away from her.
"No I'm still mad at him, he's a cheater. Come on, I want to see if we can find a tiny hat for Amilotl."
Bo stuck her tounge out at Amity, the Blight giving her a smug grin, offering her hand to the witch. Luz happily took her hand, flinching one more time when Mattholomule managed to get a strike. Willow and Gus cheered him on, wanting someone to beat Skara, the human having gotten 2-8 pins each time it was her turn the next round, finally haven taken her own advice.
Luz squeezed Amity's hand, the human guiding her towards the exit, Bo following close behind, taking Luz's hand. "Hm?"
"Mind if I tag along?" Bo smiled.
Through gritted teeth, Amity shook her head, "Not at all."
Bo smirked, Amity glaring at the other human, 'You just started a fight, you might win the battle, but I'll win the war Blight.' Bo thought, looking up ahead, believing strongly, she'd win the witches heart.
The shape changes.
To be continued.
If you want to know why I said Mattholomule is Agustus' friend, is because it's true, to me at least. In the episode where Amity, Willow, and Gus were shown looking at the orb before Eda's petrification, the 'human phone' Matt showed to HAS, was in the corner on Gus' desk.
