Happy (late) New Year! My resolutions are to keep writing and to practice and improve at tennis so Len and I can become the Golden Pair. I wish everyone luck in keeping any resolutions you've made! -Rin
Niou Masaharu had a rather mischievous uncle. In fact, the whole family said Niou was just like him. And this wonderful uncle, who was Niou's favorite relative, had gotten his nephew a book of pranks and mischief for Christmas. It was the deluxe edition, which meant some supplies were included.
The holiday break had ended, and school was the perfect place to try out the gift. Niou flipped through the book and picked out an idea he liked. He would put stickers (included with the book) on all the paper towel dispensers in school. The stickers said that the dryers were new and voice-activated. According to the sticker, all that was necessary was to say "paper towel, please."
Niou got to school early, which was unusual for him. He put the stickers on all the dryers in the boys' bathrooms, then disguised himself as a girl and did all the girls' bathrooms as well. He made sure to block all the motion sensors that would normally dispense paper towels when you waved a hand. Never let it be said that Rikkai's Trickster wasn't thorough.
Now all he had to do was wait for the victims to arrive. It didn't take long. Sanada Genichiro, due to the ungodly early hour at which he woke up every day, was always at school early. Niou, still in disguise, was pretending to sleep on a bench outside the bathroom when Sanada went in.
Soon Niou heard the sink being used, and then the water went off. This was the good part. He could hear Sanada asking for a paper towel, then repeating himself when nothing happened. The poor fukubuchou was very persistent, demanding paper towels at an ever increasing volume until he was bellowing loud enough for the whole school to hear.
Finally Sanada gave up and left the bathroom, drying his hands on his jacket. He passed by a girl who seemed to have fallen asleep on the bench outside the bathrooms, but paid her no mind. If he had stuck around, he would have seen the "girl" smirk.
"Puri~"
Niou came back to the bench at lunch, in a different disguise. He brought with him a book he'd "borrowed" from Yagyuu, so he could pretend to be reading. Marui Bunta was the victim this time. Niou waited for the reaction, and was delighted to hear Marui asking for paper towels with a questioning tone in his voice.
The self-proclaimed tensai only tried a few times before losing patience. The sound of someone banging on the paper towel dispenser was music to Niou's ears, as was Marui yelling at it.
"I said it already, what more do you need? Give me a freaking paper towel!" More banging was heard before Jackal happened along and went to investigate.
"Marui? What are you doing?"
"Jackal! It won't give me any paper towels!" Jackal was silent for a moment, and Niou assumed he was examining the sticker.
"Maybe it's empty. Just come eat lunch, you can dry your hands on a napkin." Marui followed Jackal out of the bathroom, and Niou snickered.
