Log synopsis: Things happen at Club Mama's Valentines Day masquerade.
Base of Tokyo Tower
Rising above you is Tokyo's version of the Eiffel Tower. Around
the base and lower levels of the tower is a mixed bag of entertainment,
including an aquarium, a holographic display and an electric arcade.
Obvious exits:
Subway Station Club Mama Tokyo Tower Elevator Sakurada
Ave Shiba Park
Morgana takes the subway towards Tokyo Tower.
Morgana has arrived.
[Morgana]
Slender and deathly pale... perhaps ashen is a better description
of the almost greyish pallor to her flesh. Her hair is an almost
unnatural jet black color, hanging down to her hips in a kind of slight
wave. Her figure is... to say the least, impossibly hourglass shaped,
with a long black dress that flows over her form, conforming almost
impossibly tightly to her legs before ballooning out once more above
the ankles. The sleeves of her dress are made of black lace, draping
over the back of her hand to be secured by a thread around her middle
finger.
Morgana is walking by in the mincing morticia addams footsteps
Rosuto is paused just outside, dressed as the Phantom of the Opera,
peering in a nearby window as he adjusts his mask.
Morgana pauses as if to check her hair... smiling faintly, "My what an
elegant costume that is.." she mumurs. . o O ( Seiryuu.... is this one
Tomo? )
Rosuto doesn't answer at first. Perhaps he doesn't hear, though that's
doubtful. He just eyes his reflection, pushing a few stray strands out
of the way. Only after he's straightened does he reply. "Thank you."
[Rosuto]
Despite being pushed back from his face, long strands of
gray-black hair still fall out of place, obscuring his face and eyes.
Not that you could see much of either though, for the upper half of his
face is hidden behind a silver-white mask. Cheeks, nose, brows -- all
are hidden beneath it; only lips and chin are visible, often either
forming a faint smirk or no expression at all. Glittering eyes are
visible as well, narrow and almond-shaped, and a yellow-brown color
with flecks of gold. Though a few errant strands form a sparse curtain
over his face, the majority of this one's hair is pulled back into a
loose ponytail, the length of his hair reaching easily past the small
of his back.
The Phantom is dressed entirely in black, so dark that the
specifics of his attire can be difficult to discern. A black jacket
overlaps a white dress shirt; matching pants meet black dress shoes.
Pulled over his shoulders is a flowing cape, the collar high and folded
slightly back. With every movement he makes, it seems to rustle or
ripple, adding to the effect his costume gives.
He doesn't seem to be of any discernable age, though one might be
able to guess around early twenties by his build and bearing. The young
man speaks with a low, smooth voice that accompanies his brown-gold
gaze, and that disappears in a moment's notice to offer a soft,
toneless laugh.
Morgana applies a bit more blood red lipstick. "See you at the party..."
she says. There's a trace of a foreign accent.. and it's not entirely
american english...
Morgana proceeds first, resuming her tiny-footsteps towards the club
Morgana opens the door to Club Mama, heading inside. /[CM]/
Morgana has left.
Rosuto's gaze shifts after the woman, then back to the window. He pokes
at his hair again, making sure it's in place, then moves to follow her.
You open the door to Club Mama, heading inside.
Club Mama
Flashing lights, brilliant and colorful, fill this dance club.
It's relatively dark, except for the laserlights and spinning colors.
Minors get stamped on the hand with a cool neon logo of the club.
Depending on the night, music here changes, from jpop to western
alternative music, but mostly generic techno music plays, as loud as
most clubs. Couples dance the floor, and groups gather at couches in
the back to chat.
Tis the night of love at Club Mama, and we wish you all a Happy
Valentine's day. Please remember to stick to the rules of the
masquerade, and keep those masks up. Costumes should be romance
inspired. There will be prizes given away for best costume, most unique
costume, best themed couple, and best dancing couple. A buffet table is
lain out towards the back of the main wall. Security is dressed in
1700s outfits, resembling that of the British Royal Guard, of the time.

*** Hoang is looking at you. ***
Morgana takes up a black mask as she enters.
Laurel has a white mask... of course.
Rosuto moves in a few moments after Morgana, still patting at his hair
to make sure it's in place. Of course, the moment he lowers his hand
back to his side, a few strands escape anyway.
[Laurel]
The girl before you is wearing an elegant Victorian dress, of a deep
violet color, with diagonal raised patterns of crushed velvet and shiny
yet tasteful thread. Her long hair is elaborately styled in dark auburn
curls, and pulled into a bun which is bound by strings of what appear
to be pearls. Her face is carefully made up with lipstick and powder,
making her look somewhat older (and more attractive probably) than she
usually does.
She wears white gloves which go past her elbows, and a bejewelled
pendant around her neck. The dress is square-cut around her neck and
shoulders, showing only modest skin and a jewelled pendant around her
neck. The lower hem of the dress shows soft peach-coloured skirts which
drape to the floor, hiding her legs and even her shoes completely.
She has a high-pitched voice, though she consciously tries to speak with
a mature, almost aristocratic voice. Her smile is enthusiastic though,
and she usually seems to be truly enjoying herself. When she walks or
even dances, she's light on her unseen feet. Somehow, she manages not
to trip over the hem of the full-length dress.
Kan'ichi opens the front door, and walks inside.
Kan'ichi has arrived.
Yoseiko opens the front door, and walks inside.
Yoseiko has arrived.
Kan'ichi stops just inside the door to look around...
Morgana is settled in a dark corner (or by the bar most likely) ordering
a drink.
Yoseiko is close by Kan'ichi, glancing around curiously o.o
Rosuto lets his gaze shift around lazily, then behind him. With a slight
incline of his head, he moves to the side, no longer blocking the door.
Laurel is dancing with a certain scruffy-looking (but cute) guy.
[Yoseiko]
Wide, clear blue eyes emphasized with a hint of dark eye makeup
gaze out at you from beneath a short curtain of red-gold bangs brushing
over her forehead. Her long, softly curled hair is held up at the sides
with two clips fashioned to look like sandy colored starfish, holding
the curls back away from her face, leaving the rest loose to tumble
free over her shoulders and partway down her back. Yoseiko's complexion
is the color of honey, almost like a natural tan but for the smattering
of freckles over her nose. Her small mouth, now painted a shimmering
blue-green, curls up in a tiny, yet friendly, smile, a faint blush
coloring her cheeks under any scrutiny.
Covering this young woman's slender form, as she stands somewhere
around five feet, four inches, is the simply put together costume of a
mermaid. Her upper torso is clothed in a fleshtone, fullpiece
bathingsuit to give the illusion of a more traditional mermaid being
unclothed. The bathingsuit hugs to her slender form, and, much to the
chagrine of Yoseiko's shy demeanor, emphasizes the natural curves along
her chest, hips and waist. To detract some attention from this, over
her breasts is a bikini top made from blue-green scallop shells.
Further down, at her hips, the bathingsuit is covered by emerald green
material forming the tail of her costume. The green of the tail is
accented by shimmering lines forming scales for her fish portion, but
in a blue-green a shade darker than that of her lips. The tail itself
is a stretchy material, allowing easier movement of the legs even as it
clings to Yoseiko's limbs. The tail continues on to her feet, following
closely the lines of her legs to her ankles, where blue-green slippers
cover her small feet instead of a fin. The fin, though, to complete the
look, is swept up from her feet and held up from the floor with a bit
of colorless thread from one of Yoseiko's hands. A deft, occasional tug
and deliberate movements creates the illusion that Yoseiko is being
held up by her tail, much like that of a dolphin who balances on its
tail for show.
Said certain scruffy-looking guy is trying to keep up with her. He
obviously isn't a master dancer, but is certainly trying his best to
handle the different steps.
*** Kan'ichi is looking at you. ***
The current song comes to an end.
Laurel giggles and smiles at Qing-hu. "See? You did just fine."
Hoang comes out on the small stage... Well, swings out on the small
stage? (@_@) She lets out a yell, "Yiyiyiyiyiyiyiyi!!!" and grins at
the patrons. "Welcome to the Valentine's Day Masquerade!" *lopsided
grin*
Morgana . o O ( Xena... how... cute... )
(SD mode!) Laurel jumps and hides behind Qing-hu from the scary
warrior-mom.
Scary that she'd dress like that?
Qing-hu blinks, startling at the sudden appearance, then glances back at
Laurel behind him, smile getting even wider. He looks back to the stage
to watch. And probably, he's somewhat relieved that the dance is over/
Rosuto's eyes snap over in Hoang's direction, blinking. A sweatbead
appears. . o O ( Oy. )
[Hoang]
Always a smile on the gentle face of this refined Chinese woman.
Few wrinkles line her face, just crow's feet and tiny marks around her
always present smile. Hoang is wearing a wig of long, black hair. She
has large pale blue eyes that shimmer with emotion. She holds her mouth
in a lop-sided grin, which is quite obviously deliberate.
She wears a leather bodice with armored spirals over her breasts.
Two chain straps hold the piece up, topped with leather shoulderpads. A
leather skirt, in straps about and inch or so each, brushes over her
legs. She wears on each arm an armband with a spiral design laid in.
Leather peasant boots fit her legs, tied up in a criss-cross pattern.
On her waist, she wears a silver and brass shakra.
Yoseiko o.o; at Hoang. o O ( ..She scares me. )
Hoang picks up the mike. Wait, she didn't have one before? WAUGH! She
smirks knowingly at the audience and waves around, "Eat! Drink! Be as
merry as publically allowed! This is your day, lovebirds! We'll have a
few contests going on, so be sure to stick around for them!" She nods
to her assistant, and the next song is played.
Kan'ichi decides he's seen enough from the door, and escorts Yoseiko
into the room. Actually, considering she's a mermaid... he sweeps her
into his arms and carries her inside, in dramatic fashion.
Morgana watches from her spot... . o O ( Awww.. How sweet... I'm getting
cavities... )
Qing-hu looks over at Laurel. Drink. Oh yeah. "You want some punch,
Laurel?"
Kan'ichi refuses to let Morgana ruin the day.
Laurel seems recovered from her SD scare. "Sure!"
Yoseiko pikus and blushes furiously. A hand darts up to rest on
Kan'ichi's shoulder, making her tail wave at people as the string is
tugged. She doesn't look unhappy, though. o O ( How romantic.. *.* )
Rose changes her name?
Morticia pokes at the olive in her drink, watching couples idly.
"Heh." The Phantom watches the happy couple for a moment, brows
upraised, then looks away again. Knotting an end of his cloak in one
hand, he weaves through the slowly-growing crowd, towards the
refreshment area.
Rose takes the opportunity to look around and see if she recognizes
anyone... Maybe Xena, if she isn't wearing a mask.
Rose . o O ( That's... Musei's mom? What's she doing here? And dressed
like that! ^.^; )
Jack adjusts his mask into place, leaving Rose where she is for the
moment and wandering towards the punch bowl.
[Jack]
Dressed for the party, Qing-hu is a changed individual. While his
features remain unchanged, streaks of makeup and eyeliner outline his
face, accenting and bettering his features to stress the curve of
cheek, the line of lip, the depth of his gaze. His usually gold-hued
eyes have been changed as well, a pair of blue contacts overshadowing
the normal color, all but hiding it from view behind the soft azure
shade. His usually chestnut-gleaming hair has also been replaced,
hidden beneath a carefully-settled mop of dirty blond, combed to look
its scruffiest. Several wisps of the short hair dangle about his eyes,
now and then settled out with a delecate motion. His usual clothing has
been replaced by a careful mock-up of street clothes. A loose jacket
sports a pair of patches, prominantly stiched onto either elbow. His
pants are slightly scruffed as well, as though they had been nipped out
of someone's garbage, rather than bought at any store. Exaggerated
streaks of dirt and mud have been rubbed into a couple places in the
knees of these pants, though the mainstay has been left clean, if
threadbare.
Placed over Qing-hu's eyes is a black mask, covering over his features.
After all, what would a masquerade be without a mask? Feathers plume in
small tufts from either corner of his eyes, a couple catching in the
blond strands of his wig.
Xena snaps a leather mask over her face. Ow, that should have hurt!
Maybe it did, and she doesn't mind. Maybe she even likes it, but surely
no one wants to know. She hops off the stage and mingles with her
patrons.
Morticia just watches.... somewhere between amused and disbelieving...
A Mermaid tugs at her tail string, making it look like she's 'tapping
her feet', while she scritches her cheek o.o; . o O ( I knew I'd
forgotten something. Oh well. o.o; )
Phantom snags a drink from the selection and moves away, finding
somewhere to stand without disturbing the couples, dancing or
otherwise. Sipping it delicately, he joins the few left in looking
around, searching out anyone vaguely familiar.
The Pirate looks at all the people wearing masks. . o O (No one told me
this was a masked dance...)
The Pirate shrugs and decides if no-one's going to say otherwise, he and
the Mermaid might as well just stay unmasked.
Jack fills a couple punch glasses, balancing one in either hand.
Carefully, he starts making his way back towards Lau... er, Rose.
As the song "Moonlight Destiny" ends, Ace pops in "La Soldier"
Arching an eyebrow, the Phantom sips his drink, glancing towards the
sound system as the pace of music quickens.
Rose waits for Jack to return, enjoying herself. Then she notices the
Pirate. After a moment, she smiles behind her mask and decides to
ignore him.
As the song "La Soldier" ends, Ace pops in "Cruel Angel's Thesis"
Jack comes up alongside Rose, offering the cups towards her daintily.
"Here. Take your pick." he says over the music, turning to watch the
dancewrs on the floor for the moment.
A Mermaid looks carefully at Kan'ichi before looking around again. Her
blush has faded somewhat as she looks for anyone else she knows.. o O
( Musei-san isn't here yet..? <.< >.> )
Xena seems to dance quite nicely... It should be against the law for
someone of her age, but she's fit enough for it. o.O
Morticia shakes her head slightly and downs her drink...
Arthur opens the front door, and walks inside.
Arthur has arrived.
Guinevere opens the front door, and walks inside.
Guinevere has arrived.
Merlin opens the front door, and walks inside.
Merlin has arrived.
Little Bo Peep opens the front door, and walks inside.
Little Bo Peep has arrived.
Rose accepts one of the (spiked?) cups, smiling gratefully. Her outfit's
pretty warm to actually dance in.
Arthur strides in regally, his lady on his arm.
As the song "Cruel Angel's Thesis" ends, Ace pops in "Mr. Private Eye"
Arthur smiles at all the well-dressed people.
Morticia is in her corner, she's finished her drink and now absently
nibbles on her olive.
Guinevere holds onto Arthur's arm, smiling. . o O ( Wai.. Oh..
everyone's looking. ) Yes, everyone. Everyone is looking. o.o; Even...
that's not... no, it can't be!
It is.
Phantom lets his eyes wander, eventually settling on 'Xena'. Blinking
slowly, he watches her curiously, the contents of his cup disappearing
as he does so. . o O ( ... It's almost frightening what kinds of people
turn out to be decent dancers. )
[Arthur]
Beautiful honey-gold eyes look at you softly from under a sweep of
bangs. The face is fine-boned and soft, a pale golden tone to it. The
nose is small and straight and the lips are suited to it all. You might
almost think this person were female. His hair is very long, down below
the middle of his back, and it flows like a waterfall in long, full,
straight strands. Its color is very dark brown, seeming black, and is
bound up loosely behind his back with a yellow ribbon. He wears a white
silk tunic with medium blue speckles sprinkled about it. The collar and
sleeves have a delicate dark blue pattern and the collar is wide,
letting some of his shoulders show. Pinned with ornate gold cloakpins
to the shoulders of the collar is a pale blue cape. It hangs
majestically down his back, thrown back over one shoulder while draping
over the other. He has on white velvet pantaloons with slits showing
pale blue fabric inside. His strong legs bear white tights, and
knee-high white leather boots hang rumpled on his legs, the tops folded
down. At his hips is a beautiful gold belt, and hung from it, an ornate
sword of exceptional quality and majesty. Bejeweled bracelets festoon
his wrists and earrings grace his ears. A mask covers his eyes,
attempting to hide his identity. He looks very regal indeed, the very
image of King Arthur.
Carrying:
a handsome Chinese sword
Little Bo Peep wanders in after the couple, shepards cane in hand,
looking around for something. Or someone. Not there, not there... o.o;;
Xena zooms through the crowd, "Yiyiyiyiyiyi!" She glomps onto Guinevere
tightly, "Aichou!!! You came, afterall!!! I'm sooo happy!" Oh well. Now
that everyone knows who she is... Guinevere just... blinks.
Morticia shakes her head....... -_-; . o O ( Someone should LOCK her up! )
Rose can't help but follow that exchange... Musei! And the one with
her... no costume could possibly hide his beauty. :P
Morticia just recognises people as seishi type..... mostly
Merlin sidesteps from the insane woman with a bondage fetish and looks
about the place. He leans on his staff a moment, giving a shake to his
head.
Rose wavies to Arthur and Gwen, as she sips punch with Jack.
As the song "Mr. Private Eye" ends, Ace pops in "Rainy Day Man"
Guinevere waves to Rose and Jack, smiling. n.n;
Guinevere inches away from her mother, Arthur in tow. c.c;
Phantom follows the older woman's dash through the crowd, eyeing the new
couple curiously. He starts to sip his drink, but blinks. Oh right,
it's empty. Casting the pair another glance, especially Arthur, he
moves back towards the refreshments.
So that's the infamous mother. Little Bo Peep just blinks, before making
her way to the punch, a full cup found.
Jack looks over at the pair that are being waved to, flashing them a
quick smile. He takes a deep drink of his punch, as though it might
help the moment some.
A Mermaid lifts a hand to wave to the new arrivals, tail waving in
accordance as she's being carried around by Kan'ichi. o.o; His arms
must be getting tired by now.
Arthur puts on a very bad english accent as he says, "Mu'Redi, wudostu
dau raiku a durinku?"
Rose O.o;;
Rose whispers to Arthur. "Ano... maybe you should stick to Japanese?
Your british accent... isn't."
Guinevere smiles and nods her head once to Arthur, ladylike.
Morticia tries not... to crack up.... o.o;
Little Bo Peep just winces. Didn't understand a single word.... whatever
Authur said. Instead, she sips, hmming, before another one is taken.
Arthur blushes a moment, looking left and right, and lcears his throat,
saying in Japanese. "I've got a sore throat. That's all." Mm-hm.
Guinevere snugs Arthur's arm and giggles silently.
Arthur says "At any rate, let's get something to drink."
Guinevere nods.
Arthur leads Musei over to the punch.
[Merlin]
Cranberry locks feather to frame the face of the young man before
you. His emerald eyes gaze with a tired intensity back to you, set
within generous eyelashes. His hair neatly comes down to the middle of
his back, the sides cropped and feathered slightly. His skin is an even
tone, though a bit on the lighter shade, soft and feminine. A sharp
straight nose leads to a small thin mouth, his chin coming to a gentle
point. He wears a beard of the same color of his hair, that flows down
mid-way to his chest.
This mage dons cotton robes of grey and majestic purple,
embroidered with tiny silver stars and moons. The outfit cascades like
a triangle, giving Ayanojou the dexterity he needs, to dance.
(Afterall, why dress up for a dance, if the outfit defeats the
purpose?) Under this, he wears a leotard, of sorts, that comes down to
his thighs, like shorts. It's black, with white stripes down the
undersides of his arms and the sides of his torso, then forms the
shorts, secured by a belt with a jeweled eye for it's buckle. His legs
are fitted with thigh-high black boots, double decked out, it seems, as
they have collars around the ankles. The outfit is completed with a
long brimmed witch's hat, a white saucer of material tilting about
halfway up the pipe.
Merlin holds in one hand a man-sized staff of gnarly wood that twists up
and holds a globe of amber, a mosquito locked into time within. He
looks over to you and gives a lazy smile.
Carrying:
Mask
Wizard's staff
As the song "Rainy Day Man" ends, Ace pops in "The show must go on"
*** Merlin is looking at you. ***
Arthur picks up two cups of punch, handing one to Gwen.
The Pirate sets his dear Mermaid down gently with a smile. Light as she
is, he surely can't carry her all evening... ;)
Guinevere smiles and takes a sip of the punch. She mouths 'arigatou' to
her King.
Arthur idly sips at his punch, admiring the crowd, and stops suddenly.
Arthur . o O ( What the heck is _in_ this stuff?! )
Little Bo Peep mentions, quietly, to Guinevere, "He asked me out on a
date." She doesn't say who -- she already knows. Good punch. Another
cup is taken.
Arthur eyes the punch suspiciously, then shrugs and sips again.
Phantom starts to pour himself another serving, but pauses upon catching
sight of a familiar flash of red hair. . o O ( Is it...? He said he'd
be coming a...It should be. ) He keeps his cup posed over the table,
then sets it down.
Xena walks over to the punchbowl as well and looks Gwen up and down.
"Mmmmalright." She gives a lop-sided grin... (Don't let it stay that
way!) "It's okay you didn't come as Yeh-Shen... you look lovely
anyways, Aich--Erm... Who are you supposed to be again?"
As the song "The show must go on" ends, Ace pops in "Innuendo"
Arthur smiles at Xena and says, "Might warrior princess, let me
introduce you to my beautiful consort, Queen Guinevere of Camelot."
Rose seems to be getting quite relaxed, enjoying herself. Alcohol would
have nothing to do with it, surely... ;) She's just a wee little girl
who wouldn't know alcohol if it hit her in the face.
Maid Marion opens the front door, and walks inside.
Maid Marion has arrived.
Robin Hood opens the front door, and walks inside.
Robin Hood has arrived.
Jack has probably recognised it. If the dirty look he gave his glass
says anything, that is. He shrugs and keeps drinking, though. Hey. It's
a party. Although he does lean over and murmer to Rose, "Might not want
to have too much of that."
Merlin senses "Phantom approaches from behind you, a sudden whisper in
your ear. "Konban wa, Merlin-san.""
A Mermaid is still looking around after her Pirate sets her down. She
gives him a slight smile and returns to watching the arrivals.
Maid Marion looks around... instinctively looking for the mermaid and
the pirate....
*** Robin Hood is looking at you. ***
The Pirate is over beside the mermaid, at the moment wondering when a
good time to avoid being a wallflower would be.
Robin Hood deliberately does NOT look in the direction of the mermaid
and the pirate, after he first catches sight of them
Arthur grins over at Robin a' the Hood and his beautiful Lady Marion.
Guinevere smiles sweetly and nods her head.....she likes nodding her
head, yes she sure does! It's lots of fun.. She smiles at Xena, who
beams. "Well, you certainly have brought out the best in her...your
Highness." She curtseys to the couple, then sees a fish with no mask!
"AAAAAAAAH!!!" Theme to Xena here. She grabs a mask from one of the
security people and rushes over to the Mermaid.
Rose hmms? "Why not, Jack?"
Arthur leans in to whisper privately to Gwen.
As the song "Innuendo" ends, Ace pops in "Cruel Angel's Thesis"
Maid Marion meanwhile picks out two masks from the entrance... and
offers one to Ko...
A Mermaid O.O;; at the screech and tries to hide behind thh Pirate when
she sees Xena headed toward her. o O ( ..Help? )
Phantom appears behind Merlin suddenly, smiling faintly. Wait, how did
he get from the refreshment table to there so quickly? Leaning forward,
he touches the wizard's arm lightly, whispering in his ear.
The Pirate stands in front of the Mermaid, braving the rush of the
vicious Warrior princess.
Guinevere smiles up at Arthur. "?-?-?-?" n.n She sips the last of..her
second helping of punch.
Jack grins at Rose, leaning over to mumble in her ear.
Merlin turns his head. "?"
Robin Hood asks "Do we really have to?", glancing at the masks
Xena pouts and overheard that. "Yes, you really have to!" =.=
Maid Marion sweatbeads and goes "I guess so... -_-;"
A Mermaid peeks out from behind the Pirate at Xena. o.o;; . o O ( My
neighbor is insane. ;_; )
Guinevere makes a face at Arthur and looks down at the punch, moping.
She giggles and slaps his chest. n.n . o O ( Vodka? What a hoot! )
Phantom's lips form a smile, brown-gold eyes flickering as he tilts his
head slightly to the side. "Konban wa, Merlin-san," he says quietly,
but audible now.
*** Little Bo Peep is looking at you. ***
Arthur gives Gwen an odd look, but shrugs again, sipping more. He takes
his time with his punch, on to its "secret".
Lancelot has arrived.
Lancelot walks through the door, smiling, his hair blowing in the
breeze.
Little Bo Peep has been sipping on that second cup, though she glances
around, and to the doorway in particular. "Ano... is that who I think
it is?"
As the song "Cruel Angel's Thesis" ends, Ace pops in "Touch My Heart"
Merlin smiles at the Phantom. "Hello, Angel of Music." He blinks and
looks over to Lancelot. "There you are. You took a long time getting
ready."
Lancelot says "Sorry, I had trouble getting my codpiece on."
Merlin blinks at Zorro as well.
(SD mode!) Arthur falls over! @.x
Morticia notices Robin Hood and Marion... hard to... she smiles but
leave them be as prommised...
Maid Marion . o O ( Baka... o.o; )
Rose is glad she also doesn't understand what any fish-thing has to do
with anything...
Jack gave his warning. It doesn't really strike him that she might not
understand what he meant by it. He warned her. He starts to mingle a
little bit, not going too far from Rose, but getting a look at the
other partygoers.
Zorro wanders in rather shyly, alone, and finds a spot near the outside
edge of the room. He glances over the surroundings.
Phantom smiles a little at the name, then follows Merlin's gaze towards
Lancelot. A brow arches, then a blink, and he lets a snicker escape
despite himself.
Lancelot smiles at Gunivere, "You look radiant this evening, my dear."
A Mermaid finds herself watching Maid Marion and Robin Hood after making
taking her mask from scary Xena. o.o;
Little Bo Peep pauses, taking a good look at the latest knight of the
roundtable. "Mou? Do I know you?" That second cup is being drained
fast.
Guinevere gets annuder cuppa juice. n.n
Arthur loosk over at Gwen. "Mu..er Qwen, are you ok?"
Lancelot asks "Hai, Little Bo Peep, where art thou sheep?"
Guinevere sips on the cup and nodnods into it. n.n
Maid Marion mumurs to Robin Hood, "Let's not block the dooway dear..."
she pulls him towards someplace and NOT near Morgana...
Titania opens the front door, and walks inside.
Titania has arrived.
Little Bo Peep hasn't found any sheep, and says as much. "You know the
nursery. Lost them, and don't know where to find them..." Hopefully
/something/ will follow her home.
King Kong opens the front door, and walks inside.
King Kong has arrived.
Oh, there they are. They grew!
Zorro approaches the bar and quickly orders a glass of wine. Red wine.
Which he drinks nearly at a swallow. He half smiles, beneath his black
mask, and orders a second, leaning back in a shadowed corner...
blending into it, even, and watches, leaning at the bar somewhat
rakishly.
King Kong bumps into people on his way in.
Lancelot says "So, interesting party I'm late for."
The Pirate is starting to regret this whole idea... too many people he
can't recognize.
Maid Marion is glad she moved away from the entrance then? She looks for
drinks...
Phantom shies to the side as more people wander in, narrowly avoiding
getting bumped. He raises a brow anyway and brushes at his costume,
dusting it free of imaginary dirt. . o O ( Hmp. )
Zorro . o O ( Wow. This is so crowded... )
Little Bo Peep hmms, nodding as she watches The Ape wander by. Hoopskirt
bounces, and wibbles around her legs. "I agree," is given to Lancelot.
Morticia is tracking people she needs to keep watch on via their chi....
the seishi are the ones that interest her... quite a few of them... how
interesting.
Merlin glances at the gorilla. . o O ( Someone was late on getting a
costume.. )
Lancelot giggles at the gorilla as it passes.
Arthur finishes his first cup of punch and decides to have another. As
he goes for one, he gets a wicked grin and gets a second cup. "Oh great
and mighty Warrior Princess, do take a rest and have some punch with
his Lordship?"
Titania glides in -- unescorted -- and doing her best to look like she
/meant/ for it to be that way.
Merlin scratches his head. Does he have to wear a mask over the one he
has on?
King Kong scratches his head. Does he have to wear a mask over the one
he has on?
Rose grins at Arthur and Guinevere, and giggles. "You two look
absolutely *majestic*! I think you need to lead all these wallflowers
in a dance!". Her words are a little slurred, and her gestures are
exaggerated.
Phantom eyes King Kong as he passes, an amused smile pulling at his
lips. "Now that's original," he comments mildly to whoever might be
nearby.
Lancelot goes "Well, I would like to ask Gunivere to dance, that is part
of my particular...... idiom is it not?"
Guinevere nodnodnodnods at Rose and tugs on Arthur. n.n
Rose goes "Now where did my dear Jack go..."
Jack isn't about to do anything as indignant as _dance_. He's staying
out of the way again, chatting idly with another partygoer for a moment
before pausing and looking back at Rose. She better be talking to
someone else... oh good. She is.
Xena waves a hand. "Too sweet. I'll be up all night!" n.n
Arthur looks between Lancelot and Guinevere. "How about you take the
second dance, my friend?"
Lancelot says "I agree, my liege."
[Titania]
A heart-shaped, angular face is crowned by an impossibly long fall
of red-violet hair that swoops loosely into a corona that ends just
past her knees. Shaggy, bluntly cut bangs hang into secretive grey eyes
while a pert nose and mouth align with a pixied chin. At odds with her
fae features are broad shoulders and a stocky torso -- while she's no
taller than average, she has the solidity that comes with well-built,
muscular limbs. Despite the muscularity of the rest of her figure, the
curves of her femininity are generous, a combination of allure and
deadliness; however, she carries herself in masculine fashion,
slouching and resting on the balls of her feet by turns.
Spaghetti straps sling a burgundy crushed-velvet dress over
well-built shoulders, the clinging fabric falling from a scooped, deep
neckline down over teasingly accentuated curves to a hemline just above
the floor. Delicate gold embroidery traces the neckline in a ribboned
design and along the thigh-high slit over her left leg. Burgundy sling
pumps add an inch or so to her height, and across her collarbones is
settled a filagreed chain holding a gold pendant. Silvered wings in
irridescent taffeta lined with gold thread rise from her shoulderblades
while sparkling facepaint applied generously on eyes, cheeks, and
collarbones create something of an otherworldly effect.
Little Bo Peep ohs. Ask Gwen. Peep just nods, before wandering, cup full
of punch... perhaps there a lost sheep that way.
Guinevere shrugs. She's cool with it, Daddy. n.n
Lancelot asks "Well, my dear sheperdess, may I have this dance?"
*** Zorro is looking at you. ***
Little Bo Peep blinks, and is caught trying to wander. "Oh... sure." At
least it gets the cup out of her hands.
Morticia . o O ( 2 seiryuu... 1 suzaku... 3 genbu... hm... 1 Byakko... I
think? )
Rose spots Qing... er, Jack, and a crooked smile crosses her face. "My
lord Arthur, it seems my escort is otherwise occupied. Would you do me
the honor of the dance?", giggling a little.
King Kong makes like he's dancing with Faye... well... she's short, I
know. But she's pretty. c.c; *sigh* . o O ( They wouldn't let me be
Repunzel. Kept tripping.. )
Arthur asks "My dearest, may I have the honour of the second dance? I
wish the first with my Queen."
Cinderella opens the front door, and walks inside.
Cinderella has arrived.
Prince Charming opens the front door, and walks inside.
Prince Charming has arrived.
Jack blinks at that, looking over at Rose. He opens his mouth to say
something, then shuts it again quick. Nope. No. He's not going to say a
_thing_.
Maid Marion glances to see the newcomers?
Robin Hood's jaw DROPS
Maid Marion blinks at her companion, "Is something wrong?" she asks.
Merlin chuckles at the gorilla, then looks at the others. He sides to
Phantom. "Punchbowl has interesting brew this evening, methinks.
Perhaps the sprites were being a bit playful."
Rose goes "Oh, how thoughtless of me, my lord. Of course you should
dance with your queen first.... only, why aren't you?"
Prince Charming's arm remains around his companion's waist, chin lifted
a little as the partygoers turn to look at them, and he leans down,
lightly kissing Cinderella's cheek.
Zorro raises his eyebrow, glancing at the newcomers. He smiles, taking
another sip of his wine.
Jack blinks at the newcomer, then blinks again. And again. He looks at
the cup he's holding. Then at the pair. Then the cup. Then the bowl.
Then the pair. Well, you get the idea.
Arthur turns around to look at what everybody's staring at. He then just
sort of...
Xena takes Arthur's cup. "Okay, but only since you have to dance."
(SD mode!) Arthur crumbles like glass that's been shattered, crumbling
from the ground up!
Phantom sneaks a glance at Merlin, blinking, then smirking with
amusement. "Anou.... That should make things interesting."
Lancelot looks at Xena, "So, Arthur's cup eh? Is that the Holy Grail?"
Guinevere sweeps up Arthur? n.n
Cinderella takes a deep breath and smiles, tilting his (her? meep?) head
to smile at Prince Charming
Titania glides gracefully around the edges of the room, a sparkled mask
in a taffeta that matches her wings held up to her face.
Maid Marion . o O ( Cinderella... looks... kinda... hm... )
Robin Hood goes "That's... Yuy and Maxwell... they're... in my class..."
Prince Charming smiles, cups Cinderella's cheek gently, and bends to
brush his lips across (hers?) lightly, squezing Cinderella's hand
Lancelot stares at the new arrivals. "So they are."
A Mermaid lifts a hand to the back of her head, running her fingers
through her hair absently. She blinks at Cinderella and her Prince,
then looks up at Kan'ichi.. o.o; . o O ( ..Too many people ;.; )
Maid Marion goes "Um... aren't those... the two boys...?"
Robin Hood goes "... yeah ..."
Merlin taps his arms. "It works." ^_^ "It's nice how it picks up the
lighting in here."
Maid Marion . o O ( Hoooboy. )
Zorro quietly sips his wine.
Little Bo Peep only peeks, for a moment longer, before murmuring,
"Figures he could fill out a dress..." Cough. Whatever is in the punch
has made someone's tounge loose.
Arthur picks himself up, brushing himself off, and sweeps Gwen into a
wide dance like a waltz, spinning her majestically as the beat goes.
The Pirate actually is looking kinda claustrophobic right now... like
he'd rather be on the deck of a ship in the open sea.
Morticia . o O ( How cute... Gabriel would like this... )
Phantom follows everyone's glance towards Cinderella and Prince
Charming. His smirk shifts to a crooked smile, both amusement and
bemusement in his eyes. . o O ( Awww. How ... cute. )
Guinevere wheeeeeeeeees!! Wooo! The room's spinning, Arthur! Kinda
nifty-how-do-you-do-thaaaat? n.n
Cinderella curtseys low to Prince Charming and grins a little "Are you
going to ask me to dance, or do I have to twist your arm?"
King Kong looks back and forth.
Lancelot . o O ( Wait for it, Lancelot, wait for it...... this is the
place but not yet the time. )
Prince Charming bows elegantly and holds out his hand to Cinderella.
"WOuld you do me the honor of this dance, my lady?
King Kong . o O ( If I move, then people will fall. I'll stand still.
c.c; )
Rose . o O ( Come on, Qing-hu... ask me to dance! )
Little Bo Peep watches, before moving away, becoming one of those
offical wall flowers. It's hard to dance in this skirt as it is.
Lancelot looks down at his sword.
Zorro raises a rakish eyebrow at Guinevere, but chuckles lightly, from
his shadowed corner.
Cinderella takes her Prince's hand and says "Very few things could make
me happier.... and most of them aren't legal..."
Lancelot hands Bo Peep a drink. "If we can't dance, we can at least
drink, eh my little sheperdess?"
As the song "Moonlight Destiny" ends, Ace pops in "Touch My Heart"
Sighing, the Phantom looks around again, then at the wizard beside him.
He eyes him curiously for a moment, and clears his throat. "Well. Do
you want to go find out if they've touched *all* the drinks?"
Prince Charming flashes Cinderella a rakish grin, leading her onto the
dance floor and pulling her against him
Merlin frowns. . o O ( I wish there was some jazz playing. Now there's
some dancing. )
Arthur spins Gwen around, stepstepspin, stepstepspin!
Little Bo Peep pauses at that, taking the drink from Lancelot. "I
thought you were waiting on...." A glance goes to the next song...
darn. Sip.
A Mermaid reaches up, tail waving with her movement, to take the
Pirate's arm. She looks at questionally, catching that uncomfortable
look of his.
Guinevere spins around, and hugs Arthur. @_@ . o O ( Whoooo.. I dun feel
soo gooood. )
Jack eases his way back over to the punchbowl, filling a second cup for
himself. No, he's not filling one for Rose. That could be... bad. He
then notices that he's being looked at expectantly. He sighs, grinning
a little. Well, he couldn't be _too_ much of a fool, could he? He
wanders back over to rose, leaning over. "Want to dance?"
Maid Marion glances at Robin Hood, "I trust... no one knew... of this?"
o.o;
Robin Hood goes "... Most people assumed they'd KILL each other by the
end of the year..."
King Kong nearly knocks down a couple of people, on the way to the
buffet table. . o O ( Famished. )
Maid Marion smiles and asks "Oops? ^_^"
King Kong pikus....
Prince Charming . o O ( so far so good... )
Arthur stops moving forward where they are and just spins Gwen around in
a pivoted circle. Around, and around, and around, and... Oh boy...
King Kong . o O ( Kinda... hard to eat, in this thing. Mouuuu. )
Rose smiles radiantly. "I thought you'd never ask! Come on, Jack, let's
show these people how to dance!". She sways to her feet.
King Kong just stares at the food. Doh! He sweatbeads.
Cinderella winces a little, but then forces a smile . o O (Glass
slippers... -_-)
Guinevere puts a hand to her mouth.. . o O ( uggghhh. ) She patpats
Arthur's arm. @_@
Prince Charming half lifts Cinderella as they dance, leaving her
feather-light on her feet.
The Pirate puts an arm around the Mermaid. "I'm okay... Just a little
crowded. I could use some air... or a drink at least. What about you,
my dear?"
Lancelot walks to the center of the dance floor, tapping King Arthur on
the shoulder.
Jack sighs as he takes Rose's hand, setting his cup down. "I'll try." he
says to her, hopefully low enough not to be heard by the others.
Phantom glares at a strand of hair that dares to fall out of place. He
*ppffts* at it, but it falls back again. And again. "Next time I'm
using a hair clip," he mutters.
Arthur looks to her, not stopping the spin, "Nanda?"
Morticia meanwhile orders another drink. How many people can attest to
knowing what's in that punch?
Little Bo Peep pauses, looking. It's not a sheep... just a bit to big
for that, though she does watch King Kong watch the food. "Did you want
something?" Pause.
Guinevere goes "Sshsswwwuh....." She holds her mouth and tries to
release herself from Arthur.
Cinderella catches sight of Mor... ticia out of the corner of his eye,
and flashes her a brief smile
Merlin shakes his head and blinks.
Merlin says "What a night."
As the song "Touch My Heart" ends, Ace pops in "Radio Silence"
Arthur lets go as Gwen pulls away. He stops, perplexed, and watches her.
"Gwen?"
Morticia returns the brief smile, trust the flirt to remember....
Rose is still pretty graceful as she dances, though she's dizzy and
tends to lean on Jack a little more than before. She *looks* happy
enough, though.
King Kong looks up to Peep. ._. He siiiiighs.
Prince Charming smiles brightly, twirling with CInderella on the dance
floor
Guinevere runs, stumbles, tilts... trying to make it to the ladies'
room. @_@
Phantom arranges his arms over his chest, his cloak sliding backwards
slightly. "Isn't it?" he replies mildly, watching the various couples.
Arthur looks worried and calls out, "Musei?!"
Jack is doing his best to keep dancing, although his own lack of skill
isn't helping the matter much. He's not as drunk as his dear Rose, at
least.
Zorro watches Guinevere thoughtfully. He takes a quiet sip of his wine
and gently rests it on the bar, eyes following her.
Cinderella leans his head on Prince Charming's shoulder, smiling
A Mermaid blinks a little, her cheeks turning red. She nods to the
Pirate, smiling. "Hai, whichever would be allright." She takes a quick
glance around.. then puts her arm around her Pirate in return. <.< >.>
n.n;
Lancelot runs, dropping his drink to seeif Musei is ok.
Rose whispers to Jack, somewhat louder than she intended. "Jack, I think
that punch has alcohol in it..."
Lancelot . o O ( OH GOD NO! )
Arthur is right along side Lancelot and the both arrive at the bathroom
door.
Little Bo Peep takes a bit of pity on The Ape, maybe. That hoopskirt is
big enough to hide behind. "Ne... get something quick before someone
sees."
Xena looks up, "What?" She looks at the cup, and sniffs it.
Prince Charming rests his cheek against Cinderella's head, eyes closing
blissfully
Titania looks around, lowering her mask in concern. "Where is everyone
going?"
Maid Marion glances as Arthur calls out Musei's name.... she half-rises
and Morgana be damned goes to check on Musei.
Robin Hood blinks and follows Maid Marion
Rose looks around, confused at all the sudden chaos.
"And the Soap Opera Triangle is at it again," the Phantom muses out
loud, watching both Arthur and Lancelot dart towards the bathroom.
Cinderella is quite contentedly oblivious.
Xena gets out a wick and lights it from a candle on the buffet table,
then tips it on the punchbowl. *FOOOOOOM!* "Oh my... It does." o.o
Zorro glances with nonchalant curiosity at the Phantom.
Rose exclaims "Oooh... Where's Gabe? The drinks are on fire!"
Morticia starts laughing.... at Xena's surprise... "THAT is why you PAY
for the drinks..."
Guinevere kneels to ye old porcelain throne, in the ladies' room.
Little Bo Peep squeaks as the punchbowl is set aflame. This is
Hato-san's mother. o.o;; "Aiiie.. uhm." What can a person say to that?
Merlin waves to Zorro.
Arthur knocks worriedly on the bathroom door! "Musei!! Daijobu?!"
Prince Charming nuzzles his cheek against Cinderella's hair, not really
noticing that there seems to be more free space on the dance floor
suddenly
Maid Marion pushes past Arthur and Lacelot? "Musei?!"
A Mermaid o.o;; at the firey punch. o O ( I guess having a drink it out
of the question now. )
Jack winces at the flare of fire, then looks to Rose. "I told you that."
he says to her. "That's what 'spiked' means." He's trying to be
somewhat quiet as he starts moving her towards a seat.
Those are interesting sounds coming from there.
Titania whirls. "Musei?"
Zorro tilts his head, askance, and lifts his glass in Merlin's
direction.
Robin Hood sweatbeads and just kinds... lurks behind Marion
As the song "Radio Silence" ends, Ace pops in "Heart moving"
Zorro . o O ( She drank too much. Poor Guinevere. Her friends are
there... )
Rose blinkblinks. "Oh. Why didn't you just say so? And why is Musei so
ill? Did she drink too much?"
Maid Marion lets poor Robin Hood wait out with the other chivalrous
men... and goes INTO the bathroom... . o O ( MEN... )
Cinderella lifts his head to look at Prince Charming, smiling still . o
O (This isn't so bad...)
Merlin sighs...
Arthur watches as Marion goes in, and calls out, "Let us know if she's
ok!!"
Phantom watches the situation quietly, drumming his fingers along his
arms. "This night just keeps getting more and more interesting."
Maid Marion calls back, "I will."
Lancelot turns, his face a mask of concern. He seems to have lost all
interest in the dance.
King Kong blinks at the punchbowl. . o O ( I don't think I want any, now
that I think about it. )
Prince Charming smiles down at Cinderella, weaving his fingers through
her hair. . o O ( they could string me up from the school gates in the
morning and I'd die a happy man. )
Jack offers a seat to Rose, nodding some. "Yes, I'd say so." He pats
Rose's shoulder a little bit. "You want to go check on her?"
Merlin nods...
Cinderella goes "I cannot *believe* you got me into this getup..."
King Kong starts stepping behind himself from the buffet table. . o O
( Nope. No food for this lil' monkey. )
Rose smiles gratefully at Jack, but shakes her head. "It's okay... too
many people there. But she's okay, I think."
Merlin says "It looks nice. Not everyone can be Cinderella."
Arthur paces back and forth worriedly.
Arthur exclaims "If I don't hear anything, I'm going in!"
Lancelot nods. "so am I!"
Prince Charming grins. "But you look drop dead gorgeous. You're the
princess of the ball
Guinevere comes out of the bathroom, after awhile. She doesn't look too
hot.
Lancelot looks at Arthur. "You help her."
Jack nods. "She should be. Once she recovers." He looks over at all the
men over there, pulling a chair over to sit beside Rose. He also
retrieves his punch glass while he's at it.
Little Bo Peep moves away from the buffet table. Who knows when that
thing will go up... literally. Nope. Not staying close, not eating...
*hiccup*. Drat.
Arthur cries out, "Musei! Oh Great S.. Are you ok?"
Zorro pushes his rapier out of the way and pushes his wine glass
forward, nodding for a refill. He eyes the goings-on with interest,
nodding to a passing jester. He inches away from the bar with his full
glass and starts to wander toward the restrooms. But as Guinevere
wanders out, he quietly takes his place again in the shadows.
Watchfully.
Cinderella raises on eyebrow "Not much of a ball LEFT..."
As the song "Heart moving" ends, Ace pops in "Follow your dream"
Prince Charming says "Doesn't mean we have to leave."
Guinevere holds one hand to her stomach, the other to her head.
Arthur exclaims "Beloved! What's wrong?!"
King Kong . o O ( Is it me, or is it hot in here? )
Phantom continues to watch the situation for a few moments, then his
gaze starts to drift lazily again, studying the few couples still left
out on the dance floor. "I don't care what's in it, I'm going to go get
a drink," he says abruptly. "A.. Do you want anything, Merlin-san?"
Maid Marion watches Musei with concern, "are you all right, Hato-san?"
Lancelot turns to leave. He can't take this at the moment.
Rose considers using a trick or two to mellow things down... but she's
not *that* drunk...
Guinevere frowns, and makes a shh gesture, then rubs her temple.
Arthur says "Oh goodness. did you have too much punch?"
Morticia glances at Rose... shaking her head.
Cinderella continues to happily twirl around the dance floor with her
Prince
The Pirate dropped Warning Letter.
Merlin smiles at Phantom. "Hmmm.. I think I'm fine. At my age, you don't
tend to eat too much." He then pulls in his lips and mouths his gums.
"S'teeph." He smiles. "Thanks, though."
*** Prince Charming is looking at you. ***
Guinevere nods slowly.
Lancelot walks to the door, passing Merlin as he goes. It looks like he
is about to leave.
Guinevere signs, [ I think I need to sit. ]
Little Bo Peep moves further away, before heading back outside. Air. And
maybe a bit of sanity.
Little Bo Peep leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower.
/[O]/
Little Bo Peep has left.
Merlin asks "Lance?"
Lancelot looks at Merlin, there is a hint of a tear in his eyes behind
his mask.
Merlin turns about. . o O ( ... no duel, then. )
Robin Hood blends into the shadows?
Maid Marion goes "Perhaps you should go rest outside? less noise...?"
Phantom nods and starts to move away, but pauses as Lancelot passes. He
frowns slightly, arching an eyebrow as Merlin speaks to the knight, and
tilts his head towards them.
Prince Charming twirls and then pulls Cinderella against his chest,
oblivious to the outside world
Titania eyes the rest of the crowd curiously. . o O ( Not much of a
party. )
Guinevere nods... and looks to Arthur.
Arthur walks Gwen over to a chair. "Let me get you some water."
Cinderella purrrs and kisses Prince Charming full on the lips @_@
Guinevere signs, [ Outside would be good, I think.. it's crowed in
here.. ]
Lancelot goes "I.... cannot be here right now."
The Pirate seems to be feeling a little better... but as the crowd
starts to surge again, his mood gets worse again.
As the song "Follow your dream" ends, Ace pops in "Because Of The Full
Moon"
Prince Charming mms and purrs back, returning the kiss and catching the
back of Cinderella's head gently
Maid Marion goes "The place IS crowded..." she looks around...
*twitches* can't miss Morgana....
Merlin goes "Sou ka..." He gives the knight a well-meant smile, full of
hope.
Lancelot walks out.
Lancelot leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower. /[O]/
Lancelot has left.
Oberon opens the front door, and walks inside.
Oberon has arrived.
Cinderella is making out with Prince Charming on the dance floor...
Phantom casts Merlin a wary glance, frowning. He asks lowly, as if
afraid the people around him will actually hear the concern in his
voice, "Is he all right?"
Morticia glances at Oberon... then she smiles... ah... the last of the
seiryuu?
Prince Charming is barely dancing now, completely lost in Cinderella. .
o O ( damn long skirts... )
Merlin raises a brow at the couple on the floor as he says to Phantom,
"...not sure."
Jack looks at the dance floor, then back to Rose again. "Are you going
to be Ok?"
Oberon walks in, straightening his tunic. He looks around calmly,
spotting Ayame/Titania.
Arthur says "Let me get you a quick drink, my love."
Arthur says "Water will refresh you."
Guinevere nods... not moving. Nope. Moving... bad.
[Oberon]
The first thing you notice about this man is his blonde hair, an
uncommon color in Tokyo. He wears free, the long hair falling on his
shoulders and back. He also have blue eyes, which suggests that he is
from another country, perhaps Germany. He's quite handsome, and his
tall height and strong-looking build adds to the effect. He carries
himself arrogantly, definately like one that is accustomed to ordering
people around, his eyes seeming to penetrate and analyze everything
that he sees. His costume is a rare sight... he wears a ornate blue
renaissance-type tunic, with two light blue wings on his back. If this
wasn't enough, he's wearing black tights for his legs, his feet covered
with green shoes made of a soft material. To finish the costume, he
wears a jeweled golden crown on his head.
Xena hands the Mermaid a mask and grins. "It's not a masquerade if
everyone's not masked." She goes after the others!
Arthur heads over to the bar, stopping to ask the bartender for a glass
of water.
King Kong blinks at the kissing cuties and scratches his head.
Rose looks at the dance floor, then back at Jack. "I don't know... Don't
think I've drank that much alcohol before."
A Mermaid o.o's at the couple smoochin' on the dance floor. She attaches
herself to the Pirate's arm, fishy tail bobbing and tugs gently. o.o;
"Ne.. Are you okay..?"
Maid Marion mumurs softly to Gwen, "What happened?"
Zorro moves his elbow aside to allow Arthur some... well, elbow room.
"Your lady is well?" he asks curiously.
Guinevere points to the punchbowl.
Robin Hood kinda... wanders off towards a relatively empty, dark
corner...
Arthur looks to Zorro, not recognizing the man at all. "I think she will
be. She just had a bit much to drink."
Titania turns to smile faintly at Oberon, a graceful movement bringing
the mask back to her eyes.
After a moment, the Phantom nods to Merlin, adjusting his mask so that
it sits more comfortably on his face. Briefly, he glances towards the
new arrivals.. stops.. . o O ( Anou.. blonde hair.. Ack! ) He shakes
his head sharply and steps away, back towards the refreshment tables. .
o O ( Feh. )
Jack nods in understanding. "Well, if you want, we can get some air. Or
maybe if you wanted to lay down?" He looks at his own second cup of
punch, then takes a quick sip. See? He drinks _slow_.
As the song "Because Of The Full Moon" ends, Ace pops in "Invisible man"
King Kong steps back from the couple and nearly stumbles into the
Phantom.
The Pirate nods. "Sorry, my dear. I'm not feeling very well. Something
in the air...", looking over at Morticia and Rose as he finishes
speaking.
Maid Marion sweatbeads and goes "Oh dear... and I left everything at my
apartment...."she mutters under her breath, "Damn Genbu's eggs..." -_-;
Oberon takes Titania's hand. "Would you care to dance?"
Zorro nods to Arthur. "It seemed that way," he says, not unkindly. "The
air might help her, ne?"
Arthur says "Hai. I think so."
Morticia is sipping absently at her martini, watching Oberon mostly
Cinderella leans in closer to Prince Charming... and one glass slipper
starts to slide too quickly...
Arthur looks at Zorro a long moment. Something is familiar about him.
Rose looks at Jack curiously. "S' that what you're supposed to do when
you're drunk?"
Titania actually looks surprised. Eyes widen, glints of light sparking
off the glitter on her face. "Yes, actually," she says faintly.
Maid Marion goes "The air would help her... as would getting away from
the noise and crowd I think...."
Guinevere leans against a wall, in the meantime.
Zorro nods again shallowly, taking a deft sip of his wine and
efficiently depositing the glass on the bar. "King Arthur. And his
lady." He mouth lifts in a pleased smile. "Your costumes are lovely.
Well done."
Jack isn't _about_ to comment what you do when you're drunk. "Well, the
air can help. So can sleeping it off. Besides, I doubt you're _that_
drunk. You only had a little." Riiiight.
Prince Charming catches Cinderella, her weight falling into his arms and
he stops dancing, standing still, and looking deep into her eyes
Arthur gets the glass of water from the bartender and thanks him. He
then nods to Zorro politely and heads back to Gwen.
A Mermaid follows the Pirate's gaze to the two women. She nods, tilting
her face up to look at her date again, looking a little worried. Her
voice is, hopefully, quiet enough, "Would you like to go?" o.o
Cinderella asks "Would it be properly 'ladylike' to swoon right about
now?"
Oberon looks up, towards the band. "What is it that they're playing?"
Phantom selects himself a glass and, after a moment, a drink. He sniffs
it delicately and nods to himself, then turns to lean against a wall.
Merlin forgotten, he sips it delicately, eyes shifting almost
reflexively towards Oberon and Titania.
Prince Charming's lips twitch into a wry smirk. "but if you swoon..
...you'll miss what I do next
Arthur walks up to Gwen and offers her the glass. "Here. Drink this."
The Pirate goes "Up to you, my dear...", his tone one of concern.
Guinevere nods and follows Doc Art's directions.
Merlin . o O ( Maybe I should go check on him. )
Cinderella asks "Oh? And what would that be, my Prince?"
Arthur offers her two aspirin as well.
Merlin glances to the Phantom and heads outside.
Merlin leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower. /[O]/
Merlin has left.
Rose nods to Jack. "Okay. Let's go for a walk then?"
As the song "Invisible man" ends, Ace pops in "Bohemian Rhapsody"
Prince Charming says "This." He speaks softly, bending his head to claim
CInderella's lips, bending her back in a deep kiss
Jack nods in agreement, standing up and offering his arm again. "Sure.
Let's go, then."
Rose walks out, with Jack, carefully holding his arm.
King Kong . o O ( Oooohhh I like this song. ^_^ )
Rose leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower. /[O]/
Rose has left.
Jack leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower. /[O]/
Jack has left.
Cinderella wraps his arms around the Prince's neck and sighs blissfully
King Kong attempts to dance. Looks more like bowling.
A Mermaid patpats the Pirate's arm with her free hand, glancing back to
the crowd of people. "......" She nods again. "We came, we saw, we can
go." o.o;
Prince Charming mms and tips Cinderella back up, swaying with her on the
dance floor. "Was that worth not swooning for?
Titania smiles faintly. "Not much for slow dancing, I think."
Oberon starts the lead, starting to dance through the song. Quite
awkwardly, though, as if he hasn't danced in a long while. o.o;
Cinderella says "Mmmm. Definitely worth it."
Maid Marion decides Guinevere will be fine... she's getting worried
about Morgana... and she goes to look for her Robin Hood...
Robin Hood is lurking in a dark corner... predictably.
Prince Charming flashes CInderella a grin and dips her back again, hip
to hip before pulling her back up with a kiss on the cheek. "Good.
Arthur unpins his cloak, laying it to one side. "Hot in here, it seems."
Morticia will bother Marion.... another time... she DID say she'd leave
you alone...
Guinevere signs, [ I think I just need... air. ]
Arthur says "Let's go, then."
Zorro shrugs, finishing his wine. "The party's falling apart, it seems,
friend," he notes to the person next to him.
Arthur offers his arm to Gwen.
The Pirate hugs his dear, understanding Mermaid. Then, without warning,
he scoops her into his arms with a grin.
Guinevere holds her temple with one hand and Arthur's arm with the
other.
Arthur leads her swiftly yet carefully out of the club.
Maid Marion finds him... going to hug his arm, she sighs watching Gwen.
"Well... good thing we didn't touch the punch..."
Arthur leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower. /[O]/
Arthur has left.
King Kong suddenly falls... backwards.
Phantom taps his cup idly as he sips his drink, one arm folded over his
chest. He catches Merlin's departure through the corners of his eyes,
frowning to himself, but his attention inevitably shifts back towards a
certain couple on the dance floor. His eyes narrow.
Guinevere leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower. /[O]/
Guinevere has left.
Cinderella grins and says "Enough dancing for now... I want to introduce
you to someone...."
Prince Charming tilts his head to the side. "Oh?"
Xena heads into the ladies room. /[LR]/
Xena has left.
As the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" ends, Ace pops in "Mr. Private Eye"
Cinderella nodnods and starts to drag Prince Charming over to Morticia
"You look very nice," Titania murmurs faintly, seemingly at a loss.
Robin Hood wraps his arms around Maid Marion and smiles ever so slightly
"I don't know... what kind of drunk are you?"
Prince Charming is easily draggable, his hand latched firmly within
Cinderella's
A Mermaid pikus, suddenly finding herself in the Pirate's arms again.
She blushes furiously and wraps her arms around his neck.. and attempts
to keep from strangling him with her tail's string. *^^*; "....."
Morticia smiles, setting down her glass, "A good evening to you..." she
mumurs to the couple. "Who is your friend?"
Arthur opens the front door, and walks inside.
Arthur has arrived.
Morticia is predictably speaking in British english...
Arthur walks back in, looking around like he's misplaced something.
King Kong is sprawled out on the floor. That's not really a good dancing
costume, you know that?
Zorro takes another glance at Prince Charming and Cinderella, and just
smiles, turning to examine a rough spot in the hilt of his rapier.
Oberon asks "Really? It is my first masquerade dance." He shows a faint
smile.
Cinderella goes "This is... uhm... Heero.", blushing as he remembers
JUST what he said to Morticia last time.
Maid Marion goes "The giggly type..."
Robin Hood goes "Hmmm... that would be either adorable or annoying..."
Arthur says "Great claws and feathers. I don't see it."
Prince Charming holds out his hand to Morticia, curious about that blush
The Pirate frowns as he sees the 'couple' who are with Mor..ticia. Then
he realizes it's nothing he should be concerned about. Instead, he
starts out with his mermaid.
*sppltt* The Phantom blinks sharply, looking at his hand, which has
become suddenly rather wet. . o O ( What the... ) His hand opens; the
remains of a cup clatters to the ground. *piku* . o O ( Oops. )
Morticia quirks an eyebrow, then chuckles, "I see... pleased to meet
you, Mr. Yuy." She shakes Heero's hand.
Prince Charming says "Just Heero is fine." He replies in perfect British
English as well, smiling.
Zorro turns back, pushing the rapier out of the way, and notes Arthur's
reappearance. He keeps his eye on the door, surreptiously, taking his
glass in hand and steadying his sword in its hilt as he makes his
casual way toward the lord of the round table.
Cinderella asks "Isn't he creepy? His English is better'n MINE."
King Kong ...on the floor. Ain't moving.
A Mermaid is carried out, quite comfortably, giving the room a last
glance over >.>
Titania laughs. "I wasn't sure you'd come. It didn't quite strike me as
your sort of thing...but I'm glad you did." Dance floor full of people?
Nawwwh. The rest of the room has faded away.
Morticia goes "Heero then..." she smiles slightly, "Now why should it be
creepy... you did mention that he was an excellent student...."
The Pirate smiles to the Mermaid. "You'd better leave the mask... you
look much better without it, anyways."
Maid Marion mumurs to robin Hood, "Hopefully cute..." ^_^
Arthur peels off his mask, no longer interested in the game of it.
Prince Charming chuckles darkly, having an idea what else Duo might have
said about him as a student. "Well... at least I'm a good creep
As the song "Mr. Private Eye" ends, Ace pops in "Mou nakanaide"
Maid Marion meanwhile watches the couple speaking to Morgana....
Phantom eyes his hand distastefully, then gives it a sharp flick,
spraying everyone who might be within a few feet of him with punch.
"Shimatta," he swears quietly, reaching for a napkin as he looks up
again briefly. An eyebrow arches as he catches sight of the downed King
Kong, then he looks down again, attention stolen by cleaning his hand.
Zorro approaches Arthur. "There's a problem?" he asks quietly, finishing
his wine and dropping it on the tray of a passing waiter.
Arthur says "I seem to have misplaced my cloak, sir."
A Mermaid starts into another furious blush, taking the mask from her
face. She clears her throat quietly, "..Thank you?" *^^*;;
The Pirate leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower. /[O]/
The Pirate has left.
A Mermaid leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower. /[O]/
A Mermaid has left.
Morticia laughs, "Is it that icy exterior that hides the devotion
within? Should I offer my congradulations?"
Oberon's eyes focus on Phantom for a moment, while his attemtion is
focused on cleaning his hand. He looks back towards Titania as if
nothing happened. "You would have been without a partner."
Cinderella leans into Prince Charming a little and blushes again,
distracted from the question he meant to ask "Uhm... well..."
Prince Charming rests his cheek against Chinderella's hair, nuzzling a
little, but not beyond the bounds of propriety. "Yes?
Robin Hood frowns darkly as he watches Morticia chat with two of his
classmates... -_-
Zorro's mouth widens into a grin, beneath the edge of his silk mask.
"Would you like mine?" he offers.
Arthur smiles politely. . o O ( I _swear_ that voice is _familiar_! )
"No thank you. I'll find mine, I'm sure."
Maid Marion is... watching... curious... but not THAT curious...
Lancelot opens the front door, and walks inside.
Lancelot has arrived.
Lancelot walks back in, over to Arthur and taps him on the shoulder.
Arthur turns to Lancelot. "Hai?"
As the song "Mou nakanaide" ends, Ace pops in "There must be more to
life than this"
Phantom succeeds in drying his hand. He flings the wet napkin at a trash
can and misses. He eyes it for a moment, then looks away, imagining
that a janitor will clean it up.. or something.
Arthur nodnods.
Maid Marion goes "I want to go check on Musei-san... she didn't look so
well...." . o O ( Not that I can help her much... )
Zorro nods quietly to Arthur, edges of his mouth lifting in soft
amusement. "Take care of your lady, ne?"
Robin Hood goes "Alright..."
Lancelot shouts "Excuse me everyone, but I have an announcement to
make."
King Kong doesn't look too sporty, either. x.x
Maid Marion pikus at Lancelot as she gives Robin Hood a kiss on the
cheek.
Oberon stops, looking towards Lancelot.
Morticia glances politely at Lancelot
Phantom starts to look back in Oberon and Titania's direction again, but
stops, instead looking at Lancelot. He blinks, brows drawing together.
Arthur pikupikus at Lancelot.
Jack opens the front door, and walks inside.
Jack has arrived.
Rose opens the front door, and walks inside.
Rose has arrived.
Lancelot says "The fine Lady Guenivere, having lost her stomach for such
things as you are about to see, has left. I am here to announce that I,
Sir Lancelot of Camelot am challenging Arthur, King of the Britons, to
a duel for her heart."
Lancelot salutes you by raising his sword straight up to his face and
then dropping it quickly again.
Maid Marion deadpans.... "Lovely.... a duel... blood..."
Jack 's eyes widen as he comes in, hearing that. He looks over at Rose,
mouthing "Did you hear that?"
Phantom blinks.. very.. slowly.. "He didn't," he hisses softly to
himself, eyes wide.
Rose looks quite confused. "Jack... weren't we supposed to go walking?
And what's this about a duel?" *.*
Cinderella goes "Oh... just lovely. See, we stop fighting... and they
start..."
King Kong is nice and out on the floor.
Morticia chuckles, "That is the nature of Chaos... The moment one
settles, another starts up...."
Prince Charming hides a chuckle. "Uhmm.... ...I think they're ... a
little more serious about it." He sweatdrops
Lancelot winks at Arthur.
Zorro twists in place to -stare- at Lancelot. "What?" he hisses. "This
is a costume party."
Arthur just blinks at Lancelot. He then whispers, "What's going on?", to
him.
Titania offers a wan smile. "I've been without a partner bef--" She
breaks off, blinking up at the front of the room. "Goodness."
As the song "There must be more to life than this" ends, Ace pops in
"Fantasty"
Cinderella says "They're *hogging* all the *attention*."
Arthur sighs, and says, "As you wish."
Oberon focuses his attention to Arthur and Lancelot. Arthur he can
identify, but he doesn't know who's Lancelot.
Prince Charming frowns slightly. "Suggestions?
Phantom moves forward abruptly, pushing through the crowd. He almost
trips over the fallen King Kong as he does so, pausing a moment to
blink down at the innert(?) ape.
Cinderella hmphs and hikes up his skirt, heading over to the table
King Kong is justled, and moves slightly, then puts his hands to his
head.
Lancelot exclaims "Defend yourself..... silyl Arthur King!"
King Kong @_@ . o O ( Guuuhhh... Tired of this thing. It's too hoooot! )
Jack looks at the pair, then at Rose. Then the pair. Then Rose. He
puzzles. Ponders. "Shall we take that walk?" he says to Rose. One
should come before the other. And this is all staged, probably.
Prince Charming eeps and hurries after Cinderella, catching her by the
waist and spinning her around, kissing her soundly, eyes dark
Arthur cries out, trying to play his part, "You were my best! My
bravest! I loved you like a brother, and this is how you repay me? I,
who so knighted you with mine own sword, and your gift unto me is a
sword at my belly? Then a duel you shall have, and we shall prove who
be the better man!"
Maid Marion decides to go check out the downed.... gorilla...
Rose goes "Ano... sir knight? If you're duelling for the fair Maid's
heart, shouldn't she be here?"
Rose blinkblinks.
King Kong sits up slowly, and pulls back the head from the suit. It
folds back at the mouth. Two big brown eyes peep out, swirling.
"Mouuuuu! It's so hot!" @_@
Morticia meanwhile slips out of her seat and Morticia-minces over
towards Oberon?
Lancelot smiles and draws his blade.
Arthur asides to Rose, "It might upset her to see this."
Zorro stops in his tracks, staring at Lancelot. Then back at Arthur.
"Stop it. Both of you. This is inappropriate, except in a gradeschool
play."
Cinderella glances at Prince C. and then clambers up ONTO the table,
dress and all "OI! You two, with the swords... CAN the melodrama, SOME
of us are trying to have a romantic interlude!"
Phantom eyes King Kong warily, then slowly steps away. "Anou... Gomen."
He looks back towards the dueling pair, blinking slowly with a frown.
Arthur just can't do this. This is wrong.
Little Bo Peep opens the front door, and walks inside.
Little Bo Peep has arrived.
Guinevere opens the front door, and walks inside.
Guinevere has arrived.
Arthur lowers his sword. "I'm sorry, Touga. This is not the place."
Titania just shakes her head. "These people have had a little too much
punch, I think."
Rose exclaims "Ah! There she is..."
Guinevere walks in behind Peep, blinking.
Prince Charming folds his arms and grins up at his lady, eyeing the
others
Guinevere . o O ( What's going on? )
Oberon says "I suppose so."
Guinevere pikus at Rose. "?"
Cinderella is standing on the table, glaring at Lancelot and Arthur?
Lancelot drops his sword to his side. "Then, I challenge you to accept
my challenge on the observation deck of Tokyo Tower!"
Arthur asks "Touga, why are you doing this?"
Little Bo Peep wanders in, seeing swords. "What in the ...." Blink?
Challenge? Tokyo Tower? With Authur... Pause.
Zorro peers upward at Lancelot. "This is a -costume- party, my friend.
How much in character -are- you?"
Guinevere o.o;
Arthur has dropped all signs of honourifics in names, being too agitated
to bother.
As the song "Fantasty" ends, Ace pops in "Everything I do"
Arthur shakes his head at Lancelot. "I will not fight you. You are not
my enemy, and my sword is only meant for those who are."
Titania looks confused for a moment, then shakes her head. "I don't
think I'd like to be here when those two start fighting," she murmurs
to Oberon.
Jack looks again towards Rose, tapping her hand to get her attention.
"Shall we? Or did you want to watch this?"
Phantom somehow manages to push through the crowd and find a place near
Lancelot and Arthur, a hand moving upwards to push the hair back from
his face. "Kiryuu-san, what are you /doing/?"
Rose *.* at the potential duelists.
Guinevere walks over to Rose.
Guinevere signs, [ What's going on? ]
Arthur sighs.
Rose sighs. "It's so romantic..."
Prince Charming walks out onto the dance floor, hovering almost between
Lancelot and Arthur somewhat inconspiciously. "Look--this is a romance
themed dance. Take it outside, will you?
Guinevere shrugs a thumb at Arty and Lance.
Arthur says "Fine. Observation Deck it is."
Lancelot heads for the door.
Lancelot leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower. /[O]/
Lancelot has left.
Maid Marion is distracted by the song... Damiit I am going to get ONE
dance with him.... she goes back to Ko and asks, "Shall we dance?"
Oberon nods. "But it seems that they will fight outside."
Zorro shakes his head. "Wait. This is ridiculous." He curses, and
follows.
Arthur hanfs his head, murmuring, "He doesn't want this. He shouldn't."
Arthur leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower. /[O]/
Arthur has left.
Zorro leaves the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower. /[O]/
Zorro has left.
Titania asks "Who /was/ that guy, anyway?"
Prince Charming hmphs and goes back to the table, holding his arms up to
Cinderella to catch her. "Dance with me, my lady?
Guinevere gets a whirl of people pass by her.
Phantom shoots Oberon and Titania a hesitant glance and a baleful frown,
then follows the others outside.
You leave the bustling club for the Base of Tokyo Tower.
Base of Tokyo Tower
Rising above you is Tokyo's version of the Eiffel Tower. Around
the base and lower levels of the tower is a mixed bag of entertainment,
including an aquarium, a holographic display and an electric arcade.

Arthur stops, turning to Zorro. "What? I cannot refuse him."
Lancelot says "Let us go, my liege."
Arthur says "And if we do this, we will get it over with and this mess
can end."
Lancelot exclaims "Agreed!"
Zorro glances calmly at Arthur for a long moment. "Can you spare me a
minute? Quietly?"
Guinevere arrives from Club Mama.
Guinevere has arrived.
Guinevere signs, [ What's going on? ]
Arthur looks at Lance, partially sour, partially hurt, obviously not
wanting to do this.
Lestat comes from the east.
Lestat has arrived.
Phantom follows everyone outside, blinking slowly. Free from the
masquerade, he reaches, pushing his mask up.
Zorro signs to Guinevere. [ A fight, Imotouchan. ]
Arthur asks "Sir Lancelot, will you give me a moment with my dark-clad
friend?"
Arthur . o O ( I _thought_ it was him! )
Lestat seems to be wandering aimlessly...
Lancelot exclaims "I love Lady Guenivere and I cannot give up on her
without knowing that I put up a fight, therefore, I have challenged my
liege and friend and rightful owner of her heart. If I lose, I will
never trouble her heart again. If I win, she is mine!"
Little Bo Peep arrives from Club Mama.
Little Bo Peep has arrived.
That is, until he saw all these strangly costumed people...
Guinevere signs, [ I am not a prize to be fought over! ]
The Pirate spots Lestat, and can hardly fail to recognize him. He sets
the Mermaid down gently, and waves Lestat to come over.
Zorro rips his mask off. "He's NOT your liege! And you don't OWN her!"
Rose arrives from Club Mama.
Rose has arrived.
Jack arrives from Club Mama.
Jack has arrived.
Arthur places his hands on Zor..no, Kiyoshi's chest, and tries to move
him back. "Let us go talk."
Kiyoshi exclaims "And I will fight you -myself- if you keep embarrassing
my sister!"
Lancelot exclaims "Dammit, none of you understand, I have to do this!"
Andy has removed his mask now, and is readily recognizable.
Guinevere dropped Mask.
Kiyoshi nods to Andy reluctantly. "Let's talk a moment."
Lestat, noticing the pirate's wave, heads over.
Lancelot throws his mask to the ground.
Merlin rather likes his...
Andy steps to one side, following Kiyoshi.
Rosuto moves towards Lancelot, eyes wide, a hand going to his
friend's (?!) shoulder. "Touga, snap out of it!" he hisses sharply,
unease rippling through his voice.
A Mermaid blink-blinks at her Pirate's wave.. the vampire.. o O (
Daniel-san..? o.o Of course. ) She waves, too. o.o
Jack follows Rose out of the building, leaving his mask on for the
moment. He watches the fight as intently as he can, slowing down. He
can't decide if he's going to like this or not, but it's an interesting
start...
Touga looks at Rosuto. "Sorry, I have to do this. You may not understand
but this is the way things have to be."
Lestat smiles, revealing fangs. "Hello. How is the party?"
The Pirate goes "Daniel-san, you don't want to go in there... perhaps
the three of us should go elsewhere."
Lestat o.o;
Andy looks to Kiyoshi. "What is it?"
A Mermaid o.o;'s at Lestat's fangs, but she nods in agreement. "Hai.."
Rose looks at the fangboy... and who he's talking to... and wavies!
"You're being ridiculous," Rosuto accuses, his normally-smooth voice
hoarse, brown-gold eyes searching Touga's face uncertainly. "You're
making a fool of yourself!"
Little Bo Peep is checking your +finger information.
Musei glances to Pirate and Mermaid.
From a distance away, Kiyoshi speaks with Andy. Kiyoshi is animated.
"Don't fight. Musei doesn't deserve it. He's behaving like an ass, but
it was the punch." He pushes his hair back, frustratedly.
Touga exclaims "I know! I have to lose. I have to lose to the man who
deserves her! That way I can give up and get on with my life."
Rose . o O ( Oh... that's so sad! )
Kiyoshi snorts. "Listen to him. BAKA! She's her own. He should fight
-her-... not you. You can't do this, Andy."
Rosuto grimaces at that, caught off-guard. . o O ( .... )
Lestat sweatbeads and goes "Umm... where do you suggest? o.o;"
Musei whistles to Kiyoshi.
Andy has had some of the punch, yes. "Yoshi-kun, I _must_! It's for his
honour and mine. He's _challenged_ me. It's wrong to leave him like
this, and it will follow me _forever_."
Kiyoshi hears Musei's whistle and glances there promptly...
The Pirate speaks to the Vampire. "Away. Anywhere..."
Musei signs, [ I believe we have something to talk about. Kiyoshi,
please translate that to my mermaid and pirate friends. ]
Andy stops, eyes wide at something Kiyoshi's whispered. His eyes then
soften.
Musei . o O ( I'm not the focus of my life. This is pathetic. )
Kiyoshi glances back to the seafaring guests. "Musei says she has
something to tell you all..."
The Pirate looks over...
Musei signs, [ That's not what I meant. ]
Musei sighs..
Lestat thinks, then stops to glance over.
Andy says "It's decided. I will go easy on him."
Andy begins to turn, ready to head up to the Tower.
Musei signs, [ We need to go and talk, right? Like we agreed to? I think
the dance is over, ne? ]
Rosuto tries to summon words, but he's not sure where to find them. "And
what will she think?" he fires weakly. "This.. This is senseless..." He
trails off, glancing around in time to see Andy turn.
Rose . o O ( Maybe I should try helping that poor guy out? If he cares
that much about her, he should have a chance, right? o.o; )
A Mermaid pikus at Kiyoshi.. o O ( ..Puppy-chan? o.o; ) She's forever
going to have that in her head @.@; "Hai?" She blinks towards Musei.
Musei signs, [ And tell Andy and Touga that this is a bit more important
than a duel. Or myself, for that matter. ]
Kiyoshi sighs. "Musei.. I got it wrong? What did you want?" He bites his
lip. "I'm not helping," he adds, frustrated.
Musei u.u
Touga heads for the elevator, detrmination in his eyes.
Kiyoshi nods to Musei. "Andy. Touga... uh.. this is more important than
any duel, and more important than ... than Musei?"
The Pirate nods, understanding what hasn't *quite* been said. "We need
to talk, then. Is there a place nearby?"
Touga turns. "What?"
Musei . o O ( That should get their attentions. )
Kiyoshi exclaims "Andy!" The name is a shriek. "Don't!"
Touga turns, his hand still on his sword.
Rose blinkblinks. "Musei? Everythin' Okay?
Rosuto hesitates, trying to decide whether or not he should follow. His
mask has come off completely, now clenched in his hands.
Andy turns back to Kiyoshi, a truly, deeply sad look in his eyes. "I'm
sorry..." He then turns and follows Touga without another word.
Musei puts a hand to her head.
Rose . o O ( Something she says is more important than herself, and he
goes off chasing his ego? I can't believe him! )
Jack has had quite a bit to drink, but he's far from drunk. Somewhat
buzzed. His smile grows just a little bit as he watches the pair
leaving, stepping from foot to foot lightly. He's wondering about Andy
getting what's coming to him.
Rose is upset, obviously so.
Kiyoshi shakes his head. "No. I don't care. If you... I swear it, you
won't do this, either of you."
Touga walks back to Musei, passing Andy a bit. "What is it? what is so
important?"
Lestat . o O ( ...What exacly is going on here? )
Andy walks over next to Touga, a look of, "We will do this when this is
all over, and maybe then you'll leave me be."
Andy asks "Musei, what is it?"
Kiyoshi glances at Musei and signs. [ Aichou, you have your phone..? ]
Musei still is a bit shaken from the punch. She shakes her head and
gives a gesture to the Mermaid to call her, by way of making her hand
out like a reciever.
Musei nods to Kiyoshi... "?"
Kiyoshi signs. [ I need your phone. Please...? ]
Musei dropped TTD cellphone.
TTD cellphone has left.
A Mermaid nods quickly to Musei in answer, looking unsure as to what's
going to happen now.
Rose is confused, and upset. And drunk too. Whooboy.
Musei is right there with you. And we're both empaths. n.n
Kiyoshi nods. "Thank you," he says, quietly. "Are you all right,
Aichou?" His voice is worried.
Musei shakes her head.
Andy puts a hand to his head, an obvious headache coming on.
Musei signs, [ Hardly. ]
Andy asks "Musei, what's going on?"
Andy asks "You had something to tell us all?"
Musei signs, [ I just want to go home. Just let me go home... ]
Kiyoshi says "I can take you."
Kiyoshi says "If you wish."
Musei frowns, then nods to Kiyoshi.
Andy asks "Would you, Kiyoshi?"
Jack sets his hand on Rose's, patting it a couple times to try and
comfort her some. He's even starting to feel what she's feeling. Being
this physically close to an empath... *twitch*
Rosuto find some place to lean against, his arms folding over his chest.
He frowns to himself as he watches, eyes on Touga.
Kiyoshi glances at the others, approaching his sister. Not a sworsman,
the rapier doesn't look entirely out of place in this odd night. He
signs to her.
Kiyoshi signs, [ Musei, you wish to go home? To Andy's place? I'll get
you out of here, to wherever you'd like to go. Would you prefer Andy to
take you, or someone to accompany us? ] His expression is entirely
tender.
Musei smiles at Kiyoshi, sadly.
Andy says coldly to Touga, "Well. Let's get this over with."
Kiyoshi says "No."
Touga nods. "Yes, let's."
Touga turns back to the tower.
Kiyoshi stands. "I'm sorry, boys, but there won't be a fight here.
Because I'll call the police."
Kiyoshi holds up Musei's phone.
Andy turns to Kiyoshi, a serious look. "Just take Musei home."
Musei frowns at them both, and tosses the crown to the ground and starts
walking.
Rosuto eyes Kiyoshi, then pulls himself up, moving towards Touga again.
"Kiryuu-san."
Kiyoshi glances around. "Are any of you their friends? Separate them,
please?"
Andy says "Kiyoshi, do _not_ interfere, please. Kiryuu Touga-san wants a
fight, then I must give it."
Andy's cheeks seem a bit pink. DEfinately had some punch, yup.
Lestat o.o; . o O ( This... is quite uncomfortable... ) He looks back at
the pirate. "My place?"
Touga exclaims "I must fight and I must lose! That's the only way I can
ever let Andy-san marry her without me trying to interfere."
Merlin smiles and goes "I think you've both had to much to drink,
Touga-san. It's not quite a perfect duel, then... I'd like to see you
fight on your feet, so to speak. ^_^"
Andy says "No, I'm fine."
Touga says "I am fine as well."
Kiyoshi shakes his head in disgust. Total disgust. "Do it on the ground,
children," he says, spitting. "I'm taking care of my sister." He
strides toward Musei, reaching his arm around her shoulders, whispering
something to her.
Andy is not swaying or anything, and seems solid.
Rosuto shakes his head. "As inclined as I am to see a perfect evening
ruined, Kiryuu-san, stop and think. He said.." He glances briefly
towards Kiyoshi. "This is insane. *Someone* will call the police, find
you both inebriated, and that won't be much of a 'duel', now would it?"
Andy's judgement just seems totally impaired.
Touga draws his balde, letting it shine in the light.
And Rosuto reflexively steps back, blinking. . o O ( Gah.. )
Zhiangpu just watches, quietly enough, pulling off her bonnet. Seen
enough, most likely, as she turns, thinking she sees the right
direction home. Should be quite an interesting class... sigh.
Musei glances around, wishing there were more trees about. Maybe a
walnut or two would knock some sense into them.
Andy says "I do not want to do this, but you leave me no choice."
Musei signs, [ Y'know, bro. You had a better idea before. ]
Musei grabs Merlin's staff.
Kiyoshi curses, twisting back and looking. "This is ridiculous. STOP!"
He charges back and gets in front of Andy. "Stop!"
Merlin dropped Wizard's staff.
Wizard's staff has left.
Rose clutches Jack's arm, feeling quite worried. This isn't going well
at all...
Touga exclaims "Dammit don't you all understand? I love her so much it
hurts and I do not want to hurt anyone, not even Andy-san! If I lose
this duel, I can feel better about never having her love me! If I do
not do this, I will never be able to live with my heart! I wish I had
never loved her but that's impossible! Do you not understand this? I
have to do this!"
Andy exclaims "What am I supposed to do, Yoshi-kun? Hm?!"
Kiyoshi swallows, speaking quietly. "Put the sword away.
Musei puts the staff out between Andy and Touga.
Touga is screaming, his face covered in tears.
Kiyoshi says "Andy, put the sword away."
Zhiangpu doesn't wince at the words. Instead, she continues to wander
off. Didn't hear a thing, even with the bonnet off and away....
A Mermaid pikus through all this, moving to hide a little behind the
Pirate, a hand clutching to his shirt tightly.
Zhiangpu heads east towards the park. /[E]/
Zhiangpu has left.
Jack sets his hand on Rose's, squeezing. He looks at her away frmo the
pair, frowning. This might be good, but... "Laurel. Let's get you
home." It's closer to a demand than a question, too. He knows what all
this emotion is going to be diong.
Kiyoshi advances slowly on Andy, arms outstretched. "Put the sword away,
Andy..."
Rosuto moves a hand back to Touga's arm, jaw tight, brows knitted.
"Kiry... Touga-san, you are being foolish. Stupid. /Baka/. You'll hurt
yourself."
Touga exclaims "I don't care!"
Kiyoshi . o O ( I hope they get Touga under control! )
Merlin . o O ( I wish I knew the Vulcan neck pinch right about now. )
Andy exclaims "If I don't do this, it will never end!"
Rose looks up at Qing-hu, torn between wanting to help and knowing that
he's probably right... that she has no business getting involved. Then
she nods, and allows herself to be drawn away.
Kiyoshi closes and tries to wrap his arms around Andy, hugging, and
speaking in whisper into the other man's ear.
Rosuto's expression contorts; the hand on Touga's arm tightens, grabbing
him. "I do!" he snaps abruptly.
Merlin says "So do I, Touga-san."
Jack looks over hsi shoulder at the pair again, then just forces himself
to keep walking.
Touga drops his sword and falls to his knees. "Dammit, I'm so pathetic."
Andy's arms are pinned by Kiyoshi and he blinkblinks at him!
Merlin puts away his mask, and tugs his beard off.

Jack has left.

Rose has left.
Musei sweatbeads and says "Y'hur draank. u.u;"
Rosuto lets go the moment Touga's sword clatters to the ground. For a
moment, the would-be Phantom stands there dumbly, looking at him, then
at Ayanojou, and back again. "Anou... Kiryuu-san..."
Morticia arrives from Club Mama.
Morticia has arrived.
Lestat looks over at the pirate and mermaid. "...My place?"
Kiyoshi whispers into Andy's ear.
The Pirate nods.
Rosuto, after a moment, crouches as well, grimacing as he rests a hand
on Touga's shoulder.
Touga is sitting on the ground, sobbing loudly.
A Mermaid still slings to the Pirate's shirt. She nods to Lestat. o.o;
Andy's eyes close slowly, and his blush increases. You think a tear
might be slipping down his cheek, and he almost melts in Kiyoshi's
arms.
Touga says "Dammit I can't do anything right."
The Pirate . o O ( This fight isn't our concern... Not when the enemy is
so close. )
Morticia . o O ( Ah... the sweet sound of chaos... )
Ayanojou goes "Let's take him home, Hensou-san..."
Lestat thinks for a moment before heading off where he thinks home is.
o.o;
Touga says "I don't deserve to live."
Lestat heads east towards the park. /[E]/
Lestat has left.
Rosuto looks at Touga, expression a mixture of annoyance and
helplessness. . o O ( I.. HATE.. this... ) "Hai," he answers Ayanojou
quietly, then squeezes Touga's shoulder. "Don't talk like that."
The Pirate heads east towards the park. /[E]/
The Pirate has left.
A Mermaid heads east towards the park. /[E]/
A Mermaid has left.
Morticia shakes her head and calls a taxi home...
Morticia goes home.
Morticia has left.
Kiyoshi snorts lightly at Touga's words, but doesn't say anything. He
holds Andy quietly for a moment, glancing around for Musei.
Musei hasn't moved with the staff. She glances back...
Andy turns, his head craning to look at Touga there. He then pulls free
of Kiyoshi and walks to him. "_You_! _You_ started this insanity! _You_
brought it upon all of us! And now _you_ wish to take the coward's way
out!"
Touga stands shakily and turns, heading towards the tower again, this
time with no sword.
Cinderella arrives from Club Mama.
Cinderella has arrived.
Prince Charming arrives from Club Mama.
Prince Charming has arrived.
Andy exclaims "Kiryuu Touga-san, you get back here!"
Musei moves to block Touga, with the staff,
Touga exclaims "Screw it, she's yours!"
"Kiryuu-san...?" Rosuto rises unsteadily to his feet, frowning, and
moves after him. "Kiryuu-san!"
Touga looks at Musei. "Forgive me, I'm an idiot. I should never have
come here."
Ayanojou just stares. . o O ( He's not... is he? )
Andy exclaims "Damn you stop or I will show you the true redness of that
which flows within me! If I spill it for you, maybe then you'll take me
seriously!"
Cinderella @_@ "Moving on..."
Kiyoshi pulls out the phone. "Andy, please...."
Cinderella heads east towards the park. /[E]/
Cinderella has left.
Prince Charming heads east towards the park. /[E]/
Prince Charming has left.
Musei looks around.
Kiyoshi implores.
Kiyoshi tries to meet Musei's eyes.
Andy holds up on arm, his wrist bare, and places his blade against it,
looking deadly serious that he would slice.
Musei signs, [ Good, no one outside to overhear. Now. ]
Musei signs, [ Kiyoshi, please translate? ]
Touga turns and looks at Andy. "That would solve nothing. I'm a moron
who deserves to die. I can't live knowing I've hurt everyone and I
can't live knowing Musei will hate me for what I did tonight."
Musei signs, [ There's something minna needs to know about. Please,
let's all go home. ]
Musei looks dreadfully serious.
Kiyoshi says, fiercely loudly, "My -sister- wants you to here
something.."
Andy exclaims "If you die, then SO WILL I!"
Kiyoshi says "No. You will listen quietly to Musei, Andy."
Musei whistles sharply. It should _sting_ your ears.
Andy exclaims "When Touga stops to listen, so will I!"
Touga looks at Musei.
Rosuto winces, eyes flicking back towards Musei.
Kiyoshi peers at Musei.
Andy winces and turns to Musei.
Musei signs, [ Something has occured, but it's not safe to talk about it
here. ]
Musei signs, [ Let's go home. ]
Musei includes everyone in this.
Andy glares at Touga. He's not going anywhere unless Touga goes there
too.
Musei . o O ( I couldn't say, when Laurel was still here. )
Touga nods slowly.
Touga says "I do as you wish."
Musei . o O ( I just hate this.. all of this. Lousy stupid Valentine's
Day, can just.. )
Rosuto's shoulders seem to relax slightly, taking a step back.
Gold-brown eyes flicker between Touga, Andy, and Musei, his lips
pursed, a wrinkle in his brow.
Ayanojou sweatbeads and asks "I think this is.. important, isn't it?
o.o;"
Andy turns to Kiyoshi, eyes closed. "Call a Taxi, will you?"
Kiyoshi blinks. "Musei wants us back to our home. We're it's private."
He takes the phone and dials a cab.
Andy says "We can go to my place."
Andy says "Or yours."
Musei shakes her head.
Musei signs, [ It's at home. ]
Yukie arrives from Club Mama.
Yukie has arrived.
Ko arrives from Club Mama.
Ko has arrived.
Kiyoshi says "Our home."
Musei doesn't say anything.
Rosuto glances at Touga, then Ayanojou, the only two faces he knows that
he's comfortable with. . o O ( .... )
Musei . o O ( Dammit. )
Yukie steps out of the club finally... breathing a sigh of relief... she
looks around...
Kiyoshi approaches Musei and attempts to drape a protective arm around
her shoulders, glaring at... well at -almost- everyone. He swallows,
glancing at Andy, then looks away.
Kiyoshi goes home.
Kiyoshi has left.
Yukie waves to whoever she recognises and pulls her fiance along
Yukie heads down a street towards Sakurada Ave. /[W]/
Yukie has left.
Ko heads down a street towards Sakurada Ave. /[W]/
Ko has left.
Andy gives a pained look any time he glances at Kiyoshi.
[A little while later...]
First Floor -- Hato Residence
A high ceiling is the first thing you notice about this middle
upper-class house. Tall, lean windows are set into the white walls,
with see-through curtains that glow when the sun shines through. The
floor is wooden-tiled, made of mohagony. Victorian style couches are
lain about in thought-out decor, their russet velveteen material a
contrast to the tan wood frame. A baby grand piano sits all by itself
in one corner of this large house. The entry to the kitchen and back
rooms can be seen around the corner, and a stairway goes up to the
bedrooms and study of the house.

Touga has arrived.
Ayanojou has arrived.
Touga walks with no life, like a puppet.
Musei sends away the maid.
Andy has arrived.
Musei goes up to her room, then comes back down soon after.
Touga falls limp on the couch, his face looking at the floor.
Rosuto looks around warily, weight shifting from one foot to the other.
Still dressed in his black getup, he instinctively moves to a place on
the wall, but stops to glance back towards Touga uncertainly.
Musei signs, [ I noticed something wrong about Yukie-san yesterday. I
asked Kan'ichi-san and Yoseiko-san about it before I left for the
dance. Kan'ichi delivered this letter to me. I was hoping to talk with
everyone after the dance, but things went... odd. I'm sorry. This is
important though, so please have a look. ]
Musei signs slowly, since Andy's the only one around to translate.
Andy tries to translate her words exactly, reiterating what she signed.
Touga looks up slightly, no expression on his face.
Musei dropped Warning Letter.
---------
I am writing this to give warning to all who serve the Four Gods, of the
dangers of those who call themselves the Zodiac Seishi. I write this so
that all may know, even if I am not present to tell them. I do not
expect to remain free for long to speak with you, but my words must be
heard.
The servants of Chaos are definitely not our allies. Though there has
been trouble between the countries of the Four Gods in the past, I
believe the threat of Chaos is greater than our differences. I do not
know their plans, but I know their methods. They may pretend to be our
friends. They are not.
The Seishi of Genbu chose to wait, to learn the plans of our enemy
before acting. We were not careful enough. The Zodiac Seishi were able
to strike subtly, to block the powers of some, and control the minds of
others. Now, we lack the strength to fight, which was surely their
intent. We have become compromised. Listen to my warning, or you will
likely fall as well.
You must beware of anyone whose aura has become corrupted. A blackened
aura is a certain sign, but even an altered aura should be suspect.
Trust no one whose aura shows black, whether Zodiac, Genbu, or even a
servant of your own Gods. Allow such people no opportunity to put you
at risk.
By writing this, I have placed two of my fellow Seishi in the group of
those who must not be trusted. So be it. In the future, you may even
find yourself attacked by these Genbu Seishi. Defend yourselves and
your Miko as necessary. I expect no less, and they would as well. They
are not in willing control of their actions, and I will be very upset
should they be killed. Still, I would place blame for their deaths
solely upon the Zodiac Seishi. I seek a way to free them from the hold
of Chaos. If you know of any way short of their deaths, I beg that you
try it. However, be sure the blackness is entirely gone from their
aura. I believe the servants of Chaos are greatly skilled in
subterfuge, and I would not be surprised if they try to deceive us by
allowing one to appear to be freed.
I hope that all heed my message, and take all precautions. At this
point, you have no real reasons to trust me or my warnings. If so, I
hope you will at least be cautious, and if you must err, err on the
side of caution. Heed the Shi-Jin Ten Chi Sho. I hope it does not take
word of a disaster within your homelands to get you to believe me.
Hokkan has suffered from two such disasters, which I believe is Genbu's
anger at the corruption of two of his Seishi. I pray that it does not
take another such event to convince you.
Genbu Shichiseishi, Hikitsu.
--------
Rosuto folds his arms over his chest and cranes his neck, eyes
flickering over the letter silently.
Andy glances at Musei, asking, "Where's Kiyoshi-san?"
Musei points upstairs.
Kiyoshi arrives from upstairs.
Kiyoshi has arrived.
Musei points at her brother. c.c
Andy sees Kiyoshi come down and walks to him, unclipping his sword from
his belt.
Touga lets his head fall back, his face staring at the cieling. "Dammit,
I have been such a fool."
Ayanojou frowns. ".."
"Yes, you have. Get over it." Rosuto's back faces Touga, but his head
turns, casting him a sidelong glance. His voice is low, cold.
Kiyoshi rushes down the steps, still in costume... sans sword. He
swallows, relieved. "Thank bya.. thank heavens, you made it. Andy.. are
you well..?" he asks, as the other man approaches.
Andy says "Yoshi-kun, please hold onto this for me. I'm in no condition
to be in posession of it."
Andy offers his sword to Kiyoshi.
Touga drops his own sword, letting it clatter to the floor.
Kiyoshi reaches out and takes the sword carefully. He lifts his eyes to
meet Andy's and nods. "I'll take care of it."
Touga dropped Touga's Epee.
Andy dropped a handsome Chinese sword.
A handsome Chinese sword has left.
Kiyoshi swallows. "Shall I hold Touga-san's sword, as well?" he asks, in
general, not addressing anyone in particular. "Touga-san?"
Musei sits down, and sighs a long soft sigh.
Rosuto eyes the swords, then the paper again. "How many know of this,
Hato-san?"
Touga nods. "Keep it."
Musei signs, [ I'm pretty sure Miaka-chan doesn't know.. nor Ayame-san
or Stefan-san... I haven't seen Chiesha-san in a long while. I'll leave
word with him, though. ]
Andy seems a bit unsteady on his feet.
Rosuto casts a brief glance at Andy and Kiyoshi curiously, eyes
narrowing for a moment as he wonders at their involvement. After the
signing is translated, hopefully, he says, "I can tell Krieg-sama.."
Musei signs, [ Oniisama, maybe Star should go to the guest room? ]
Musei gets up to help Andy stand.
Andy leans on Kiyoshi for support, smiling gratefully for Musei on his
other side.
Andy says "Don't worry, Dove. I'll be fine."
Touga closes his eyes.
Ayanojou glances to the trio, then to Touga.
Kiyoshi leans down and takes Touga's sword carefully. "Andy-san." His
words are polite. "Musei suggests you go to a guest room, ne?" He
approaches, cradling the swords in one arm and offering his arm to help
steady Andy. He glances at Musei questioningly.
Musei nods to Kiyoshi.
Andy uneasily leans on Kiyoshi, his head rested on the man's shoulder.
Rosuto watches with arms folded, glancing at Touga a moment before
moving forward to pick up the paper. His eyes flicker over it, reading
more throughly. . o O ( .... )
Ayanojou sweatbeads and asks "Anyone up for tea, maybe? ^_^;"
Touga doesn't move.
Musei glances away.
"No, thank you, Aboratsubo-san," Rosuto says distractedly, eyeing the
paper, then setting it down again.
Andy seems to have little tolerance for alcohol, and he had more than
his good share.
Kiyoshi holds the swords in one arm and supports Andy. "I'll let
Andy-san rest in the guest room upstairs."
Kiyoshi walks up the staircase to the second floor. /[UP]/
Kiyoshi has left.
Andy walks up the staircase to the second floor. /[UP]/
Andy has left.
Touga mutters to himself, "... should..."
Musei glances behind her.
Musei smiles to everyone here. Forced.
Rosuto looks at Touga. He hesitates, then blurts annoyedly, "Get over it
already, Kiryuu-san. Everyone makes stupid mistakes once in a while.
Just because yours was stupider than most doesn't give you any right to
feel sorry for yourself."
Rosuto isn't the most tactful of people, it seems.
Musei . o O ( Kinda.. funny.. I'm stronger than Oniisama.. )
Touga looks up, he looks at Rosuto.
Musei gestures that she's going to get something to eat or drink, and
bows, before heading into the kitchen... rather quickly.
Rosuto's brown-gold eyes flash, turning so that he faces Touga, arms
over his chest. "You're the one that told me that friendship is about
forgiveness, aren't you?" he demands, almost accusingly.
Touga nods.
Touga says "And you're right."
Ayanojou sits up and leans on his staff. *sigh* . o O ( What a day...
night... whatever. I didn't even dance. Heh. )
Touga says "I hope you can forgive me, everyone, for ruining your
Valentine's Day."
Ayanojou says "Oh, I think this letter is much worse. You can try next
time, Touga-san."
"I know I'm right," Rosuto affirms, lifting his chin slightly. "No one
has killed you yet. They haven't killed you yet. *I* haven't killed you
yet. As for a ruined Valentine's Day..." He sniffs, then smirks. "It
was the highlight of my evening."
Musei comes out with snacks and drinks. She looks up to the loft a
moment, and hands them out.
Touga smirks a little. "Glad I made your evening."
Ayanojou asks "Oh, I was in a bad mood already, so don't fret, ne?"
Ayanojou smiles to Musei. "How courteous." ^_^ . o O ( You really want
to go up there, don't you? )
Touga says "You can go upstairs if you wish, Musei, I think i should go
home. I'm sorry about this evening."
Rosuto takes a drink with a nod, then sips it, looking back at Touga.
"If you are, then I'm coming with you," he declares, arching an eyebrow
haughtily. "To make sure you'll get there safely. Or something."
Musei just stares. She's obvious, and she just realized it. She closes
her eyes and sighs, shaking her head.
Ayanojou says "Me too."
Touga says "Then, I'm leaving."
Musei signs, [ I'm sorry. ]
Musei doesn't want to be followed.
Musei walks up the staircase to the second floor. /[UP]/
Musei has left.
Touga leaves the Hato's, shutting the door behind him. /[O]/
Touga has left.
Ayanojou leaves the Hato's, shutting the door behind him. /[O]/
Ayanojou has left.
[Rosuto, Ayanojou, and Touga head homewards.]
You step into apartment <903>.
Kiryuu Apaato -- Koei Building
The deeply stained cherrywood floor greets your feet, especially
if they're bare, as you walk into the main room of Touga and Ayanojou's
apartment. The room is quite open, the furniture mainly consisting of
large leather beanbags and short end tables. A short wooden coffee
table centers the room, panels which open to reveal a gaming board,
ready to play all sorts of traditional games. The kitchenette is set
tidy, black plates and cups decorating the walls. A tiny dining table
splits the kitchenette from the main room, a vase of fresh red roses
giving a gentle feel to the room.
Two fencing swords cross in an X over the small gas fireplace.
Sitting on the hearth is a small bowl of rose petals, that lilt and
lift slightly when a breeze is let through. In one corner of the main
room stands a shrine of come sort, a wallhanging with a pentacle
standing guard over it. The opposite corner holds the entertainment
center, which is the latest in Japanese technology. If one should look
through the CD tower, they'd find musicians like X Japan, Yohko Kano,
and Andy Won (for make-out music).

Ayanojou comes in through the main entrance.
Ayanojou has arrived.
Ayanojou parts his mouth. "Bweh.."
Touga sits down in his beanbag
Rosuto lets Ayanojou in before him, then closes the door. Looking back,
he raises a brow at Touga, cold expression faltering a moment.
"Well," he comments after a beat. "This evening has certainly been ...
exciting."
Touga says "Indeed"
Ayanojou asks "So.. round of asprin, anyone?"
Touga nods.
Touga says "I told her I would make sure there was no alcohol there. I
failed again."
Ayanojou takes off his hat, and pulls out a bottle, then tosses it over
to Touga.
Ayanojou asks "What could you do, you didn't think she'd be there first,
right?"
Touga fails to catch it and it hits him in the head. He does not move.
Ayanojou goes "Urf...sorry."
Touga says "It's ok"
Rosuto smiles faintly. "Only if it's a double," he jokes wryly, then
looks at Touga. "Besides, the alcohol wasn't realized until after
everyone had gotten ... inebriated."
Touga says "And I made a complete and total ass of myself. I'll never
live it down now."
Ayanojou asks "Get over it." He walks into the kitchen. "Tea or coffee?
I feel like coffee right now."
Touga says "Tea"
Rosuto waves a hand. "People do silly things when they're dr..." He
stops, looking pained for a moment. . o O ( .... ) He shakes his head,
clearing the thought. "Of course you'll never live it down, not
lamenting over it like that."
Touga exclaims "And I can't believe I'm still thinking about myself when
we've read that note! What am I? Some kind of self-absorbed moron?"
Rosuto asks "Coffee, please?" He eyes a nearby clock. "I don't want to
fall asleep on the wayhome."
Touga says "You can stay here if you'd like Rosuto-san."
Ayanojou goes "Please do. I don't think Touga-san bites... not sure. Do
you?"
Ayanojou starts a pot of coffee.
Touga shakes his head.
Rosuto blanches. "Nani? Er.. Iie, I don't want to intrude."
Touga says "It's no problem. You are a friend and welcome to stay
anytime you like."
Ayanojou says "You're not intruding. Sheesh."
Ayanojou smiles a bit.
Rosuto piku's. "A... Aa." He shakes his head slightly, brows raised.
"Er. Arigatou."
Ayanojou . o O ( Surely he doesn't think... naaaah. )
Announcement: Green Wizard shouts "for those in tokyo! Clouds have
literally amassed and it's started to hail!"
Touga says "Damn weather, looks like how I feel."
Rosuto's brows furrow, then rise again, his gaze going sharply towards a
window, if there are any. An incredulous expression flickers briefly
into being. . o O ( Is that...? No, it shouldn't. Anou.. )
Rosuto looks back after a moment, disturbed, but not showing it.
"A-Anou... Where should I sleep?"
Ayanojou says "Two beanbags work wonders, trust me."
Touga says "Or one when you've really had it."
Rosuto manages a smile, reaching up to untie his cloak. "I'll take my
chances with two," he comments quietly.
Ayanojou comes out with coffee, and whistles the tune to Maxwell House.
Touga says "Thanks, Aboratsubo-san, you always know how to make things
better."
Ayanojou sweatbeads and goes "I prefer the term ease things... I
wouldn't call this better. ^_^;"
Touga says "You're right."
Touga asks "Rosuto-san, thank you. Thank you for being there for me. May
I now have the honor of calling you, friend?"
Rosuto finds himself a seat on one of the beanbags and drags another
over to leave nearby so that he can crash in a hurry if he needs to.
^_^; "Good enough, though," he points out, then pauses, looking at
Touga.
Rosuto dips his head in a slow nod, smiling faintly. "Hai, Kiryuu-san."
Touga smiles a little. "Well, i may have lost one friend tonight forever
but I have gained one as well, not bad eh?"
Ayanojou chuckles. "You're the poster boy of optimism, Touga-san."
Rosuto laughs softly at that, brown-gold eyes glittering.
Touga actually laughs at that. "When I'm not trying to slice my way our
of problems I am. Maybe I should give up dueling for a while."
Ayanojou says "Try banjos."
Touga laughs out loud.
Ayanojou has a straight face.
Rosuto blinks, then claps a hand over his mouth, his own toneless
laughter escaping without meaning too. "!!!"
Touga looks at Rosuto. "You know, that's the first time I've heard you
laugh?"
Ayanojou n.n "Kawaii." Odd man. Very odd.
Rosuto's eyes widen, flitting between Ayanojou and Touga. Oops? "Iie,"
he protests. "I've laughed before..." . o O ( Just not, er, loudly. )
Touga says "Well, maybe but that was a good one."
Touga says "You know, I could use some popcorn and a movie about now."
Ayanojou goes "Oh about hail and wet clothes? 9.9; Well, glad we left
when we did..."
Ayanojou asks "Let's see what we have in the library, shall we?"
Ayanojou stoops down at the entertainment center. "Hmmm."
Rosuto looks flustered, smoothing back his hair. . o O ( I'm glad I'm
able to stay here... Walk around in that? ) He cranes his neck,
glancing over in Ayanojou's direction.
Touga asks "Find anything good? I mean my entire DVD collection is
there."
Ayanojou blinks. "The _King_ and I?" He boggles. "Hm..."
Touga says "No"
Rosuto sweatbeads. "Eh-heh."
Touga says "And I'm seriously considering burning my Excalibur disc"
Ayanojou asks "How about this one.." He pulls out 'Tai Chi Masters'.
"What? That's not yours? How the heck did it get in there?"
Touga says "Sounds good"
Rosuto piku's. "Let me guess. It's about Tai Chi Masters."
Touga says "I guess. Maybe it will be good for a relaxation film."
Touga asks "So, Rosuto, may I ask you something a little personal?"
Rosuto's gaze shifts towards Touga curiously. Carefully, he says, "If
you like."
Touga asks "Did that letter change the way you feel about the others? I
mean in any way>"
Rosuto blinks, brows furrowing. "Letter? You mean the one Hato-san had?"
Touga says "Hai, the warning."
Rosuto glances between him and Ayanojou, suppressing a frown and
replacing it with a rise of his eyebrows. "...should it have?"
Touga says "I think it should. It proves what we have been saying all
along. It changes how I feel about everyone."
"I think that... I believed from the beginning, Touga. But I still
haven't decided whether or not I want to help or not."
Touga says "Well, Musei-san had arranged for me to meet one of these
Chaos seishi and I was looking forward to the meeting, now I'm not so
sure."
(OOC) Rosuto wobbles. I hate to say it, guys, but I can't stay awake
anymore. I gotta crash. x_x
(OOC) Touga says "See ya!"
[Seiryuu] Rosuto's typist wobbles and falls over. "G'night, peeps."
