Jack Frost
Interacting With: Tarlotte, and Zinnia
Whoops, Jack had forgotten that Tarlotte didn't quite get his humor... Or if she did, she sure disguised it real well under her usual uh... Behavior, rubbing the back of his neck, he was about to try another approach when another familiar face popped up, Zinnia, if he remembered correctly.
His first instinct was to greet her, but that attempt was cut short when Zinnia suddenly asked if he was Tarlotte's boyfriend, which quickly caused him to... Shrink away a little, looking a bit more sheepish, but nonetheless, he tried to roll with it, even if he did end up chuckling nervously as he tried to find the right approach to this.
"Well... Ah... It's nooot what you-..." And before he even had the chance to finish, Tarlotte had already gotten mad.
It seems like the very notion of Tarlotte dating him set the cat-girl off.
"Oh no..." He groaned under his breath.
Welp, if his memory of Zinnia was a bit foggy, what was unfolding in front of his very eyes was quick to change that; if he had remembered correctly, Zinnia had ended up being... Together, together with someone else named Jack. Unfortunately, mixups aside, she also seemed to clash alot with Tarlotte due to both of them having a bit of a... Rampant personality.
Thinking quickly, he decided he'd try to disarm the situation before it could escalate too much further, tiptoeing over to Tarlotte before he spoke, trying to keep his voice a bit low.
"Maaaybe we should go..." He said, then paused for a moment, realizing something.
Just telling Tarlotte that would definitely not work, seeing as she was quite the stubborn one indeed, but... He didn't mind that, really... Juuuust as long as she wasn't picking fights with other members of the show, and wreaking havock amongst the general populace, but... ... Well, actually, he was a pretty guilty of doing that sort of thing.
Even then though, he still realized that he needed to find a way to distract Tarlotte, keep her from getting angry... And so far, the only thing that seemed to do that was... ... Cake! Hmm... And with that thought, an idea formed in his head.
"I mean... I know where they've got some cake stashed.~" He added, a little playfully.
With any luck, Tarlotte would take the bait, but... Well, on the other hand, because he was whispering, it was uncertain what Zinnia might think he was saying. Despite it not being his intention or anything, Jack Frost did unwittingly make his motions look just suspicious enough that it might be mistaken for him plotting something against Zinnia, with Tarlotte... Oh dear...
Giving her rival the stink eye, Zinnia would stick her tongue out and blow raspberries at the cat. As angry as she was about Tarlotte taunting her, Zinnia knew that the girl was only doing it to get on her nerves and not really to insult Jack. "You're the one whose annoying! You're probably just jealous of me, aren't you? I'm cooler than you, I won Best Female Character in one of my Murder Games, and my Jack is even better than yours. You don't have nothing on me!"
Side-stepping closely to a snack table, the lorekeepr would grab a cupcake off the table before shooting Jack Frost a look. "You want to give her cake? Oh no, please, allow me to do the honors." As hard as she could, Zinnia would chuck the cupcake at Tarlotte's face.

"...Oh."
At first, that was all Setsuna said in response to Shirou's statement that nobody would want to acquire an award in such a manner, as though contemplating this fact. She had thought people liked receiving gifts, but it seemed in this case, such was not the case. Perhaps it had to do with something on the paper...? Well, who knew. It didn't matter all that much. Besides, she had more important matters to think about, her expression briefly turning to that of surprise.
"...Something you would never see coming?" she repeated, blinking owlishly as she mulled over the concept. How was she supposed to pull such a thing off? Surely, with how well-versed in people Shirou seemed to be(to someone completely oblivious as to how they worked), he could predict any and every move she could possibly make. Perhaps better than she could, even. It was perhaps the most challenging request she could possibly receive, and it rendered her speechless as she desperately tried to think up what she could do that would be surprising.
"..."
Smack!
And thus was the sound of skin impacting skin, Setsuna having slapped herself across the face so hard that her impacted cheek now possessed a red mark where her hand had impacted. Yet, she did not flinch, only let herself take the impact and the movement of her head caused by it. But after a few moments, she looked to Shirou again.
"...Was that good?"
Oh goodness.

"Pfft, s'that the best mew've got, stupid girl?" Tarlotte snickered, actually looking delighted as she regarded the female from her perch. Turning around so her rear was facing Zinnia, she mockingly wagged it, tail movements following the gesture as she did so before whirling around again. "Hahaha, so what, some stupid humans voted mew best? If anything, that's an insult, meow! Humans don't have a clue. Meow, meow~" she purred, not seeming to care about Zinnia's raspberries. Though, she did seem a tad annoyed by her comment about the Jacks, a faint pout forming on her lips.
"Tch, what, the dumb guy with the dress and the ponytail?? Mew're desperate if mew think he's better than anyone. But I guess there is that saying that one meown's trash is another...-- u-uh, is another...." the girl trailed off, a thoughtful and confused expression coming to her feats as she looked around, almost as though hoping for some sight to trigger the recollection of the rest of what she was going to say. But nothing did, and she was left clueless. Thankfully, though, Jack interrupted, anyways. Though the female acted anything but thankful, crossing her arms with an offended huff.
"Urrgh, can't mew see meow're in the middle of--..." she trailed off again, only this time? It wasn't out of forgetfulness. "Cake?" she repeated, seeming to briefly light up before resuming her typical tsundere mannerisms. "You said there's cake! I want some meow, dammit, meowwwww!!--"
Eh--?!
Ears and tail perking up at the sound of something coming towards her, Tarlotte instinctively ducked, managing to dodge the cupcake thrown with relative ease. Though, because of her maneuver, it headed straight for Jack's face instead. Not noting this, however, the girl appeared to grow heavily annoyed, teeth bared as she looked to Zinnia with a dangerous glint in those golden eyes. "....How dare mew waste that cake?!"

Phew. Letting out a sigh of relief, Teresa trudged back to where she had left Joshua, looking less than pleased as she returned to his side.
"Alright, I think that's finally done," she muttered with defeat. What a train wreck this whole art thing had been.
