![]() A few weeks prior to December 26th, an invitation went out to all whom already reside in Cerealia. In delicate, curling script, it read: You are cordially invited by Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear to a Winter Ball to be held on the Eve of December 26th in the Gardens. Dress in your best attire and enjoy a magical evening of dance and fine cuisine. What do you mean we should fuss about worlds being destroyed? Get into the holiday spirit, you scrooge! And in regards to the new-comers: whether you have been wandering Cerealia over the course of the past few days and managed to receive one of the later waves of invitations or have simply suddenly appeared in the gardens with nothing but the (hopefully…. appropriate….) clothes on your back, welcome. The gardens have been transformed through the work of

That's too bad... [ he shakes his head a bit, as if what tadashi did was truly a regrettable act. ] But, I'm sure your attitude will change once you're clinging to life. [ he looks him over. ] I mean, you look pretty frail.
Level 3? [ okay, he's just making rude conjectures here now. ]
no subject
He didn't get a chance to cling to life the first time, but just because he could be in danger now doesn't mean that he'll entertain people with a bad attitude. ]
Level what?
[ Thankfully, the perverted tree just has him by his legs, and isn't slithering anywhere else. Tadashi's got time to talk, so long as it doesn't shake him or start... god forbid, touching him. ]
no subject
no jk, but really... the concept that others didn't comprehend his greatness or the obvious fact that their lives should... technically revolve all around him and his prowess in white magic... sort of grates on him, but well. not everyone was obedient. needs more training. would not engage again. 1/5 stars. ] ... don't tell me you don't even know your own level.
Your hit points are probably single digits, too. [ he rolls his eyes, at this. ] But, more importantly, if you're not going to grovel... you think you can have the tree swing you elsewhere. It's not like I feel anything watching a guy hang from a tree. [ with... vine tentacles... ]
no subject
[ He's not sure how Priest really rolls, but he's trying this dumb psychological tactic, anyway.
As for the gaming references, he just rolls his eyes at those again. They might be "code", which Tadashi does not believe in 100%, but even having an HP bar is too much. ]
no subject
however, what was that phrase? close, but no cigar? sounds about right. either way, it's a fairly accurate measurement to how he views the stranger's attempts to persuade him (if it could even be labeled that). but, then, as if to assist the situation, the tree actually manages to have the gall to spread its vines further, even reaching the area where priest has so conveniently placed his feet.
his brows furrow as he scowls down at the branches. ] It can't be helped. [ he stabs the end with his spear, before heaving out a hefty exhale. one that displayed the remorse he felt of having to actually move himself. life was hard, all right, especially without a vanguard to act as proper meat shields.
regardless, he takes this as his cue to, naturally, pick himself from the floor he's so comfortably made temporary residence of. if it were possible to look any less.... enthused. (it's really not.) ] I wanna go home... [ this is one side quest he wants to step out of...
where's his sympathy, tadashi... ]
no subject
He narrows his eyes again, getting a better look at the person before him. At the same time, he swats a tentacle that was trying to get in his shirt away. That just wasn't needed. ]
You and me, buddy. [ But there's something they may not have in common, though. ] But at least you've got a home to go to.
[ He's not trying to get sympathy by saying that, but at the same time, he's empathising. And because it seems like it might be a good time to ask, Tadashi attempts to ask for help, again. Who knows when the next person will come? Bad attitude or not, he still has to get down! ]
Mind if you help me out here? I think it's pretty obvious I can't do the begging thing, but I can pay you back for your troubles.
[ He hates going down this route, but he's aware of how bribing works with people... ]
no subject
there's another sigh threatening to spill from his lips as he preps his stance. then, he silently (inaudible level 99 spell) casts a status ailment canceler on tadashi. it should... at least help with the dizziness. it wouldn't exactly assist with the fact that he's still being held against his will by an enchanted tree, but his magic ain't cheap, all right. ] The only thing you should be confessing about is your sin of not praising my greatness.
[ with a wave of his hand, he dismisses the rest of tadashi's words. ] You better mean those words. Or I'll have you suffering even in death. [ he expects a statue to be erected, all right. but, hey... at least he's planning to delivering some semblance of assistance.
if you think about it... he's like baymax, but magical. ... and with a bad personality. ]
no subject
He mumbles an "oh god" as he runs a hand down (or in this case, it might look like he's running it up) his face. ]
Thanks. [ He says it rather weakly, as if unwilling to say it. Because. REALLY NOW.
When "death" is mentioned, Tadashi just closes his eyes and resigns himself to the situation. He's fully aware of what's happened to him, and just being able to breathe right this very moment is something he's finding difficulty to accept. ]
So, what kind of payment do you want?
[ Not that he can do anything right now, but Tadashi will definitely jot it down mentally. ]
no subject
[ for later. maybe even with interest. after all, there should be some young maidens who tadashi knew that would be in need of a gallant and pure-hearted priest in level 99 armor to... sexually harass them or something equally as questionable.
all in all, these are concepts he pockets for a later time. starting from this first method of ceasing the tree, which only seems to get that much more aggressive in his advances, he cuts its branches down with a straight forward attack. of cuts and hits. loosely made ones, but ones that work all the same.
but, he doesn't seem keen on cutting tadashi down quite yet. not until he's heard some verbal agreement, at least...
and so he stops for a few moments, if just to smile threateningly in his direction. ]
no subject
All right. A favour, then.
[ He has no qualms about helping somebody out, though if it's going to cause some trouble, he'll end up refusing it and will ask to do something else. In hindsight, maybe he should mention that he won't do certain things, but after growing up with a younger brother who pulls the same kinds of things on him, he knows better than to add conditions.
Publicly, anyway. ]
no subject
though, that agreement (or in his mind, slave acquirement confirmation) is enough to fuel his metaphorical fire. emphasis on the word metraphorical since he's a priest, not a magician. but, even if he isn't equipped with heavy damage-dealing spells, the job that's expected of him was simple enough. in his world, it'd probably be nothing more than a beginner's quest with a bit of a sob story to it. though, putting labels aside, he finally moves to complete their deal.
lifting his spear once more, he slices across the branches, even the ones adjacent and wriggling towards the other male. though, as great and splendid as that is— he may have done it in a manner that was precariously close, if just to revel in the other's potential apprehension for a bit.
though, on a brighter note, at least he's freed? not from priest, but from the tree... ] So?
[ okay, he didn't get begging, but there def. has to be high praises, right?
who cares if he didn't... exactly prepare a good landing for you. ]
no subject
almost getting sliced isn't new to him either. he's had his brother make a robot that threw knives at him. the hamada brothers are truly very responsible inventors. though, just because he's experienced almost dying a lot of times, doesn't mean he's grown accustomed to it. and he's only experienced death once; and in no way does he plan on getting used to that.
his landing isn't perfect... more like painful. but his neck and back were hurting to begin with, that the pain's sensation doesn't last long. it just blends in with the discomfort he was already experiencing.
he gets up and dusts himself off, then rubs the back of his neck, and stretches it a bit. and now that he's in a better and more comfortable stance—aka standing upright—his mood becomes more pleasant. ]
Like I said, I owe you one.
[ his tone isn't condensing, more like he's just reminding priest of the fact. ]
no subject
he's waiting for that scrap to feed his ego. the "oh, great priest, you've truly saved me! allow me (and the rest of my measly village filled with good-natured fools) to sing you praises for years to come," etc, etc. we plan to name our church hall after you, etc, etc. sermons will be made, services will be held daily— except, record scratch... none of that happens.
... is this your mood being more pleasant, tadashi???? ] ... [ his smug expression flattens for a few seconds. ] Don't you think you have something else to say? [ he wouldn't even be opposed to you belatedly getting on your hands and feet now...
as if to pronounce his point, he pokes him a bit firmly with the end of his spear.
not the sharp end, unfortunately, but hey, we can't have everything. ]
no subject
you're so delusional.
no love,
everybody.
tadashi blinks curiously when he's poked, and swats the spear's end away after it makes contact. he's not sure where priest is going... nor is he interested in finding out. ]
Do I?
[ does he? he already thanked the guy. what more does he want? ]
no subject
...
[ he heaves out. an obvious action that was made purposely evident. ]
Wipe that dumb look off your face. ... this is why I'm sick of working with men. [ grosso. ] Your gratitude. [ more of it??? come on???
do it right and he might not tack on interest?? nah, he still will, but do it anyway. ]
no subject
with a smile - AND THAT'S ALL HE GIVES - he says: ]
I owe you big time.
no subject
but, it's here, he sort of relents to the idea that it isn't coming. though, not without being haughty and highly unimpressed. ] You really are slower than you look.
Or, you have guts. [ a pause. ] I'll remember this.
[ it's a warning as he turns his back.
... interest rate: 100%. it's decided. ]
