Pimp My Party -- Royalty Style


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 slave labor condoned by royalty incredibly talented volunteers. A buffet line possibly a mile long, a sprawling dance floor with temporary wood placement to cover the grass, a lovely orchestra with scheduled interruptions of magic shows on the stage, and the entire thing lit gently with lights stretch the span of the main area of the garden. Not too far off, there are ponds and pathways that take you elsewhere into the foliage, but why would you go that way? The party’s right here!
"Good evening, everyone!! Whether you are new to Tellus or old, I hope to find you in good spirits.

Mind you, I do not intend to ignore the blunders of CERES nor the grave situation that new-comers have found themselves faced with. However I assure you that at this time, surrounded by these people, you are in good company. Please, dine and be merry - I believe some worlds celebrated a holiday yesterday! Get to know one another so we may strengthen our ties and stand firm against whatever this world may throw against us!

Also try the salmon, it's absolutely divine. . . . How do I turn this off...? Should I just walk away?"

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I
[ xx:xx ] Like any respectable ball, your entrance is announced as you walk right into the party! What do you mean you wanted to slip in unnoticed? That simply won’t do. Natalia managed to rope in someone – is that a Tellus native? – to do the honor of acknowledging your character as they make their debut to the ball. This guy is under strict orders to not miss a single soul. If your character doesn’t give him a name and title ahead of time, then he’ll just make something up. Think along the lines of Broseidon McSnootyname, Duke of Erectile Dysfunction-- What do you mean that’s not your name?
PHASE II
[ xx:xx ] Absolutely no expense was spared when it came to making sure that the food here was the best that money could buy (or threats could extort). Guests can select from a menagerie of main dishes from all sorts of cultures, adorable desserts that look like woodland creatures alongside towering cakes, and even those fruity drinks with the little umbrellas on them. Pig out, you animals – but there’s also a wide selection of fine wine if your tastes and curiosities wander off in that direction…. What even is the drinking age in Tellus? Remember, folks, drink (ir)responsibly.
PHASE III
[ xx:xx ] Well, it is a ball. If you’re interested in proper, classical styles of dance, there’s certainly an orchestra that’s dominating most of the night. One of their songs may or may not sound familiar. Spin around in your flurry of skirts and do the fairy tale thing if that’s what you came here for. Romance, or whatever. Waltz your heart out and don’t forget to point your toes!

… that said, there’s also a separate sound system not too far, prepared in case the orchestra might want a break. It’s also not being watched too closely. Maybe put on something to liven up the dance floor? Or did someone ruin your fantasy by putting on something unbearably inappropriate?
PHASE IV
[ xx:xx ] The gardens really are beautiful. Spread throughout the area and more toward the outskirts of the party, there are plenty of beautiful fountains with glittering, crystal clear water. In fact, it’s so clear that you can spot the occasional alien life form flitting through it amidst the lily pads and gently sweeping foliage. It’s so graceful, what beauty! Look at how it rises to the water and gently opens its mouth into a yawn and—tries to chomp anything within range right off with razor sharp teeth what the fuck, whatthefuck.

It would appear that's not all, though. Whether you're ready to fight the creature or run screaming, you feel something slowly slide and curl around your arm or your ankle. Look on in horror as you turn your head and realize that it seems that the nearby tree has grown rather fond of you very quickly, to the extent that it will reach out and lovingly wrap its hentai tentacles around you.... Brings a whole 'nother meaning to 'tree hugger', doesn't it?
BONUS
[ why:o'clock ] Are you lost? Did you try to catch your breath away from the party and start to wander off despite all the cautioning not to? Or maybe you were trying to leave and took a wrong turn? Either way, you seem to have only found yourself deeper in the gardens now. Try not to breathe too deeply or… at all. If you can’t manage that though, it appears that you’ve stumbled upon the hallucinogenic plants of the garden. You start to see things that aren’t there – though whether you suddenly find yourself in a den of cougars lions or think that the person standing next to you is the biggest, cuddliest pile of adorable puppies in the world depends on the person. Hope you have a good trip, bruh.
[ Remember to apply proper warnings on threads with trigger-y or inappropriate material and do let me know (through FAQ comment or PM preferably!) if your thread careens off into maiming or canoodling so I can lock the log. ]

( from here. )>


[ oh, weiss thinks. one of those. yes, she's dealt with her fair share of scumbags and bottomfeeders; the schnee name and fame comes with its disadvantages, after all (of course), so it doesn't surprise her at all to finally meet one here. even if he doesn't know who she is; clearly, had he a better understanding of who she was, he wouldn't dare to be quite so brazen. ]

Gratitude? For what — standing there?

[ excuse you??? at least he moved his arm in order to secure his grip over its frail and fleeting existence!?! fleeting because he's about to throw it into the nearest garbage unless your behaviour is patched like ver. 4.03 of a game. or so that's the look he returns to her, his brows furrowed slightly. ] I think you know it's a bit more than that.

[ he puts it into... his robes. probably securing it to an equipment slot, as if to see its stats. naturally, this is for nought, but regardless, he shakes his head. as if to signify his disappointment. ] Or you should if you're even thinking about wanting it back.

[ omg what a rude??? ]

Let me get this straight — you're stealing my charm now?

[ boy she is about .2 seconds away from freezing ur butt. ]

Stealing is what thieves do. [ he presses a hand to smooth the top of his robe, if just to further accentuate the fact that he has her charm in there. hey, at least there are worst places for it??? imagine if he were from his naked canon point. regardless, he expresses some vague distaste at the remembrance or nostalgia the word "thief" has on him. ] Can't say I really care about that. [ after all, why steal underwear...

when you can have everything beneath that?? why is this so gross, idk. either way, he's taking this in stride and not even sensing the threat. if worst came to worst... he's a healer. he got dis.
] I'm just saying, I don't feel all too appreciated right now.

[ naked....... canon point....................... ]

Since when are thieves supposed to be appreciated?

[ schnees do not negotiate with terrorists, priest! her hands settle on her hips, eyes sharp in warning. ]

I'll only say this once. Hand it back to me, or I'll be forced to take it back myself.

[ fortunately, he's already has an auto-ressurection spell ready to be casted on him (is he doublecasting here, maybe, but w/e), and if anything, his magic defense is relatively high, and so he discovers no real reason to take to this threat. as... troublesome as it was. which, evidently by how self-assured he looks, takes precedence over his actual safety. ] Somehow I expected a different response. That's too bad.

[ he turns his back, however, as if to project A Point.

is there a real point in stealing young woman's charm.... probably not.

[ OKAY THAT'S IT.

after a hellish evening of no dances, stubborn floral arrangements, and terrible rap music, weiss has had enough.

don't say she never warned you, priest. but don't worry, the ice she sends your way only gets you up to your hips, freezing you in place. stomping over to stand in front of him once more, weiss starts to dig around in his pockets for the charm. ]

[ oh? this was new.

he didn't exactly expect her to be some sort of witch. but, well, you can't judge a spell caster by their appearance. he's almost amused at this, if just for the concept touching base to what he was infinitely more accustomed and attuned to. while he could feasibly reverse this by utilizing his ailment canceller to thaw out the ice, he doesn't. not immediately, at least. instead, he vigilantly keeps his eyes out on her. watches her stomp around him...

before she places her hands on him.
] Oh? [ while he might have been a bit miffed beneath the surface, this more than makes up for it. so the minute she's close enough, because.... unfortunately his hands were clear of the ice, he reaches out. seizing one of her hands and he presses it firmly... against his abdomen, if just for the fact it was closest. ] ... why don't you try looking a bit lower?

I can guarantee you'll be surprised in more ways than one.

I'm certain I'll find nothing of value down there.

[ if her words could get any colder, i don't know how, tbh... tentatively, she tugs at her arm a little, testing for his strength. it doesn't really budge, and weiss isn't surprised to find he's much stronger than her, given their vast difference in size. still, not to be unnerved, she simply curls her fingers into her palm, making him press a fist against his abdomen instead. ]
