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.

Don't try and figure it out now!

[because behind her, a set of vines are already grabbed at her wrists!!

...and minatsuki is just staring, totally debating just leaving anna to get attacked by the plants. she might change her mind but for now.... well, for now the plants have anna!!]


sjokolade: (Rude much?)

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-05-02 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[As Anna was trying to swing back the vines with her stick, she had no idea what she was doing. Of course, even with her attempts, she knew that she wouldn't last for much longer.

However, when she saw Mina was running away...?]


H-Hey, where are you going? You can't leave me here!! [She shouted before she ran after said girl. While she was able to hit one of the vines down, it didn't stop it from going after the both of them!]/small>
primulas: (Betula lenta)

[personal profile] primulas 2015-05-03 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh she can and she just might.

...until she noticed that anna was running after her. when minatsuki turned around she saw that anna was leading the vines to both of them.]


You dumbass! [and then minatsuki ripped her earring right out of her ear, causing it to bleed. soon the blood tendrils formed and she used her branch of sin as a whip. she whipped at the vines, stopping them from advancing.]

Don't lead them this way!
sjokolade: (What's that?)

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-05-04 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
What else do you want me to do?! I'm trying my best to escape them, I can't fight it!

[Of course, as she continued to run, her eyes went straight to her ears. At first, her eyes widen and wondered what she might be up to. Although, she stopped right on her tracks as blood tendrils formed all around her!

Having no idea what to do, that's what she did. Just...stood there as the vines made their way toward them]
primulas: (Callistemon)

[personal profile] primulas 2015-05-06 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[minatsuki was about to yell at anna again, but then the vines approached both of them. she clicked her tongue and grabbed at anna's arm, pulling her away from the vines in order to whip at them.]

Then just shut up- don't be a fucking nuisance. Let's just get out of here-!
sjokolade: (Meet my little friend!)

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-05-08 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Despite the heavy glare Anna was giving her, she remained quiet as the both of them ran as fast as they could. She wanted to give her a piece of her mind but with the vines ever coming down on them, there was so time for that!

Even if they were running, it didn't stop the vines from attempting to grab of their ankles. As Anna immediately fell straight to the ground though? Sorry, Mina, you might be falling down with her]
primulas: (Amaryllis)

[personal profile] primulas 2015-05-09 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
[of course, as soon as anna went down, mina felt the veins wrap around her ankles as well. she went down swiftly, but her hands went out immediately to break her fall.]

God dammit- [she just turned, so she was now laying on her back, and she whipped at the vines with her branch of sin to free both her and anna. once that was done she was back up again.]

Do you know the way back to the party-?!
sjokolade: (>:T)

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-05-10 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's that way!

[Anna said pointing to said direction. Once Mina got them free though, the princess quickly took the other girl's hand and ran off. Screw it if Mina liked it or not, they needed to get out of here as fast as they could!]

By the way, thanks for helping me get that weird vein off of me or something.

[Even if Mina was a jerk, the very least Anna could do was thank her somehow.]

primulas: (Camellia)

[personal profile] primulas 2015-05-13 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Wha-!

[she was about to protest about how anna just grabbed her hand but- they were already running away. mina just ran behind her, often looking back to see if any other vines were coming towards them.]

Hey you can be all sappy and shit once we're out of here.
sjokolade: (Uh sure?)

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-05-13 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be sappy all I want! It's just in case if we get out of here!

[Unlike Mina, Anna didn't dare to look back. If she did, she had a feeling those vines would find another way to attack the both of them! However, in the mist of all their running, Anna couldn't help but notice something off...]

Hey...just wondering...do you hear anything?
primulas: (Viola)

[personal profile] primulas 2015-05-16 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
...Don't tell me that right now-

[minatsuki was rather irritated, so sudden changes really weren't good here! she clicked her tongue then looked around.]

What...?! Hear what?!
sjokolade: (DNW)

[personal profile] sjokolade 2015-05-16 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not like she's doing it on purpose! ...Kind of. Maybe. Okay, she kind of is but moving on! At that moment, she quickly turned her head toward him before raising an eyebrow]

Uh...what do you mean? Like what? You can control the wind or something? Because if you can, I really want to see it!

[She didn't mean to but somehow, it sounded like she was more excited than anything! Of course, just as she opened her mouth to say something about his question though?

...Yea, she got nothing.]


How should I know? It's just scary enough wandering around the snowstorm looking for someone! That or they're just jerks because they can!
