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. ]

impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-05-01 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[His cheeks are starting to warm up a little at this point. This is kind of embarrassing...he really hopes nobody is watching this.]

It's...it's fine.

[OH WELL, HE TRIED. Maybe she'll remember once she comes down from her high... But for now, he seems to have accepted that this is all he's going to get out of her.]

[He kind of jerks his head back when she starts touching his ears though. Because that's...he's not sure what to think of that. Peko, why. His head was one thing but his ears??]


Do you at least remember how long ago that was?
perfectstrike: (aah--!)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-05-01 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...

[Oh, okay. Ears are a no-go. She draws her hand back when he jerks away, looking a little crestfallen for a moment before she tries to sneak another pet to the top of his head.

Another thoughtful hum at the question as her fingers move along the back of his head now, following the line of one of the swoops and then circling around to the top again.]


I... am not sure. Perhaps half an hour? [Probably closer to an hour, what with all the pets, and her general distraction with all the fluffy things around, but she wasn't exactly looking at a clock. Either way, it's not something that's been going on long enough to be ending any time soon, probably.]
impheired: but it looked like he might have a shank, and i'm just not at a place in my life where i could handle having tetanus (unsure ♚ i almost took a picture)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-05-01 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[Okay, on the one hand that's good. Because that means less time for Peko to have potentially made a fool of herself or made people uncomfortable by trying to touch them. Since...there is "so much fluff"?? But...on the other hand...that means she's probably going to be like this for a while still.]

[He'll let her continue playing with his hair for a bit before speaking up again.]


Peko, I think it's time to call it a night and head back. You didn't have plans with anybody after the ball, did you?
perfectstrike: (unsure)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-05-02 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Peko's perfectly content to keep standing there rubbing her fingers along the top of his head. Absently, she has to wonder just why this particular kitty doesn't have longer hair for her to pet, but this is nice how it is, too.]

Ah?

[She tilts her head and draws her fingers back with clear hesitation. Did she have plans?]

N-no, I did not. [And she glances to try to spot Lee as well, and also to get a final look at all this fluff here. But if Kuzuryuu wants to leave, then she's ready to leave! It's just sad to think about returning to a fluffless place, like her apartment.]
impheired: who drunkenly chipped his teeth on the sidewalk (unsure ♚ wise words from the guy)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-05-05 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't really care if they leave or not but Peko clearly shouldn't be left here in this state. Who knows what she'll get into. What if she thinks one of the monster fishes is fluffy and petable??? That would be terrible.]

Okay well then...let's say good night to everyone and head back then, alright?

[This is the part where they attempt and maybe succeed at finding some of their friends and saying goodbye. You know, instead of just up and leaving because that would be kind of rude. But once that's done, it's time to head out the door and start walking back to the apartments! What fun!!]
perfectstrike: (in truth... | それは。。。)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-05-05 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Alright...

[Look, it would be a glorious second of petting the world's first fluffy fish before her hand was bitten off. Worth it? Maybe. Have to consult with Komaeda on that one.

But alright, she'll behave herself while they say their goodbyes, keeping her arms firmly crossed over her chest. She wants to pet everyone... there's cats, and fluffy dogs, and a few people sporting feathers. There's a bear or two, and even the tiger Rock Lee, but in the end, she does stay with Kuzuryuu and prepare to leave the party... though not without a wistful glance back at the party full of fluff.]


I had... fun.

[Even before everything went fluffy.]
impheired: on me 'cause i got an abrasive personality and am a lil ugly, but that's ok 'cause those are my best qualities. (happy ♚ no one ever has a crush)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-05-06 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Poor Peko... Alas, the fluff must go. Once they're out of the party, Kuzuryuu shoves his hands into his pockets as usual and falls a few steps aside-but-ahead of Peko, sort of subtly attempting leading her back in the direction of their apartment building. Because he still has no idea exactly how badly she's tripping. What if it's so bad that she can't distinguish landmarks or something?]

[This might actually make the problem worse, depending on whether or not Peko thinks he has a tail. Because she'd have a clear view of that the way he's positioned right now.]


Did you? I'm glad.

[Because in his opinion, Peko deserves having fun and also nice things more than anybody.]
perfectstrike: (ハーッ?)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-05-07 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
I... did.

[Forgive her if she sounds a little distracted by something. It probably has to do with her fluff-o-vision, which is certainly giving Kuzuryuu a gorgeous fluffy tail. One hand sneaks away from where she'd crossed it over her chest and gives it a bit of a pet -- of course, in reality, there's nothing but air there, but to Peko, she's currently running her fingers along a tail that, frustratingly, keeps flicking out of her reach after only a pet or two.]

Did you?

[Stop moving your tail, bocchan, she wants to pet it, and will continue efforts to pet said tail.]
impheired: at my worst, then leave because i don't have a best. i'm always awful. (talk ♚ if you can't handle me)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-05-07 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Kuzuryuu glances back to confirm if that distracted sound is due to her hallucinations or not. When he sees her staring at what he assumes is some spot on the ground, he turns his attention forward again because, yup, she's still tripping balls back there.]

[He really should have kept his gaze there a little longer. Because he completely missed her grabbing at his tail that isn't actually there. Though he does pick up his pace a little, assuming she'll mirror him. Gotta get her home asap!!!]


It...wasn't too bad.

[He had fun but why come out and say that directly when you can be a tsundere shit about it?
perfectstrike: (fervent)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-05-07 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Slow down! There it goes again, flicking just out of her reach. So while she does match his pace without complaint, it's not for the same reason. There's no hurry to get home, because then once they do, she's going to be left alone without any fluff.]

...I see.

[So she's about 90% sure that he did actually have fun, and that brings a tiny smile to her face. Just for a moment before it's gone, replaced with the same kind of burning intensity she has when she fights. She's going to catch that tail if it's the last thing she does...

Really, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody when she takes an extra quick step in to try to grab the base of his "tail" -- which is to say, plants a hand firmly on his butt. The implications of grabbing there don't seem to have quite sunk in yet...]
impheired: smash my skull in with a large rock and end my worthless life (blush ♚ cute date idea:)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-05-09 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[If you can call hanging out on the sidelines fun then, yeah, totally. Which...he can because he's kind of a weirdo like that. Watching people is more fun than actually participating, who knew?]

Yeah. Really, the only thi--ngk!?

[He was GOING to say that the only thing he could complain about were the trees, but a certain appendage of Peko's on a certain part of his own anatomy drives that thought from his mind completely.]

[He stops dead in his tracks, his whole body going rigid as the full extent of what is happening dawns on him. Should...should he try and move away??]


W-What the hell are you doing, Peko?!

[Judging by the way his voice sort of breaks and pitches upwards on the word "hell", he's more embarrassed than angry, even if his tone is a little harsh. And when he turns to look at her, slightly horrified, the truly spectacular blush on his face should only make that fact all the more obvious.]

[How could this happen to him, Kuzuryuu Fuyuhiko...]
perfectstrike: (blush | protest)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-05-09 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hm?

[She'd had it! That tail poofed up in surprise when she'd grabbed it, but she'd had her fingers on it and was able to feel the fur--!! It wasn't quite as nice to the touch as his head had been, but this is still good...

...or not. Kuzuryuu's tone catches her attention, and she immediately lets go of his 'tail' with a bit of a surprised noise. She hadn't thought he'd react that much!]


I-I, I was just--!

[Crossing her arms over her chest and not touching anything, obviously. What did you think she was doing?? Nothing!]

It doesn't matter. Let's go.

[Because it's finally managed to penetrate the fog around her mind that she'd just grabbed his butt. And she doesn't want to have to talk about that any more. In fact, it's best if he just forgot it ever happened. Yes.]
impheired: is so unnecessary, i do it myself just fine. (blush ♚ trying to embarrass me)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-05-10 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[God Peko, just how high are you? His butt is definitely not fuzzy!! What good...whatever it is you're on right now. Clearly it's quality stuff. It's a shame Kuzuryuu didn't end up dealing with it. Let's all just try and imagine that for a second.]

[...and moving on. Kuzuryuu coughs awkwardly, trying to regain his composure and will his blush down as he resumes walking towards their apartments. Yup. He's a-ok with pretending that never happened. It doesn't have to be spoken of ever again.]


So now that that's over, I guess we can focus on getting ready for Hinata's party now, huh? And New Year's...

[Yes. Topic shift, go. Ignore the fact that his cheeks are still pretty damn pink, despite his best efforts to make that stop.]
perfectstrike: (unsure)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-05-10 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Let's not... what if he ended up getting violent from his trip...

This isn't fair, though, because now that they're walking again, that tail is still flicking within clear view -- and easy grabbing distance. She's forcing herself to keep her arms crossed though, as much as she's watching that tail move. Can't... can't grab his butt again. Doesn't even want to risk trying for the tip of the tail, either.]


Yes...

[Please don't try to get a real conversation out of her, Kuzuryuu, it's all she can do to keep from trying to wrap herself in all his fur.]
