week six: pardi.

[polterguests]

week six: pardi.

The maze beckons you in further.

The snow and cold give way to a decadent ballroom. Of course, you must also be dressed appropriately to attend—you may have your choice of either five foot tall bipedal mice adjusting your wardrobe, or just. Elves. A warm hearth blazes to life nearby, filling the space with its comforting crackle. Somehow, this space never grows uncomfortably warm or hot. Some might even call it perfect. Nearby, a long banquet table provides food and spirits that are enough to fulfill your wildest dreams.

There is space to dance. There is space to play. There is even space above and beyond—looking up reveals that instead of a simple ceiling, there is instead a beautiful vantage point of Northern Lights overhead with all their dancing colors. A balcony is also available for those who wish to have a moment to catch their breath.

And it would seem that you’re not alone.

At the top of the grand staircase, there are some faces(?) that might be familiar to a few of you. The Mixer, the Weaver, the Candlemaker, the Jeweler, and the Guardian—the Guardian stands at the center of their formation, flanked by the others.. Each one of Their many, many hands shifts, holding out one index finger. One. Just one.

The Mixer, the only one among all of Them that possesses a mouth to speak, finally parts Her ruby red lips. When She speaks, it sounds like a gentle chorus. Every voice you might hear in a crowded speakeasy coming out of one mouth, though a woman’s even timbre sits above them all: “What Our companion means to say is… One week left, darlings. Imbibe. Dream. Good luck. Though… we do bring gifts, if you would like to take some spoils for your trouble.”

As one last touch... there appear to be magical mistletoe flying all around. They hang over archways or even just float right above you incessantly. Ignoring them will cause more of them to gather... and the compulsion to spare just a little kissy to become stronger. Go ahead. Make merry!

[ link to fit check

there is no hesitation with what medea selects from the mazekeepers. it's slipped into her pocket immediately.

medea is so boring at parties because her experience is that people will come up to her for one reason or another, but she will try something from the banquet table and then offer it the next person who walks by. ]

Finish this for me.

[ wow.


she also gives up on avoiding mistletoe when she notices they follow and will just make a come here motion with her hand to anyone who wants a mistletoe thread. ]

[selfconcept]

[ ok

Hien immediately eats what he's offered. Down the hatch it goes. Did he even look at what was being offered? No. Just eat. ]

[untrusted]

[ well

she's not that surprised that hien doesn't hesitate. it's chocolate. ]

Does poison affect you?

[selfconcept]

[ He looks at Medea like. ]

"Are you saying that I'm a dog."

[ She wouldn't be wrong, but also what the fuck. ]

[untrusted]

No. You didn't even look at it. It could have been poison.

[ that's why she asked.... it would be fun to test...... ]

[handfast]

[ me. i want a kissy even if it may be problematic

hak doesn't though, so he sort of just looks at her like she's crazy. a few more mistletoe come to land on his shoulder. ]

[untrusted]

[ it's fine. he is legal.

she looks at the mistletoe that collect on his shoulder more than him. ]

You'll be buried at this rate.

[handfast]

It'd be better than kissing you.

[ hated that i had to write that with my own two hands, someone come and kill this child. but he will walk a whole step closer while swatting a few of them away. ]

[untrusted]

You can find someone else to kiss me then because I don't care to have hanger-ons like you do.

[oversea]

[ i want a kissy too

he walks over ]

[untrusted]

You're not questioning it.

[ she's not complaining, but she thought he'd be more hesitant. ]

[oversea]

[ he isn't scared of her being mean so it's fine. ]

Should I walk the other way?

[untrusted]

No, I'm relieved your kindness never strays.

[tindery]

[ i would be so surprised if they make it to a kiss, ara

even so, he would've been willing but, ]

Not a dog.

[ he won't just wander over with a come hither motion... ]

[untrusted]

Come help me.

[ it's fine... i'll make a kiss happen somehow. i'll make a good attempt. ]

[tindery]

[ i'll work with you ara maybe it won't be that hard

but unfortunately

this does work because tobari will just walk over ]

With what, Duchess.

[aerodynamic]

[ obediently takes it to hold, but. ]

Only if you dance with me at least once.

[untrusted]

Sure. Do you know how to waltz?

[aerodynamic]

Probably not as well as you do, but I can keep up. Trust me not to step on your feet?

[nautycal]

[I wish Medea would step on me.... Me, Anna.

Ryuji skids to a stop like he's about to be clothes-lined or something. He blinks, taking the offer.]

H-Huh?!

[untrusted]

[ anna.... you're so valid.

she hands over a plate of chocolates. ]

What's difficult to understand?

[nautycal]

[He is looking at this plate or chocolates and then looking at Medea. He truly can't say no.

She looks like she would kick his ass, and he likes it. Makoto vibes...]

Why the hell did you get so damn many? I bet all of these are cursed, or something.

[ilulu]

[Medea it's your favorite person in the whole world]

Oh, I don't need to eat, love, but I'll pass it on if ya like. [She'll take it to give to Obikawa later why not. More importantly--] You look so cool and regal! Do you like pants better than skirts, or both the same?

[untrusted]

[ she doesn't dislike ilulu.... she just thinks talking to her isn't worth it half the time.... ]

None of us need to eat here. [ so how much does it matter? ] They both serve a purpose.

[ilulu]

[That's fair and valid]

Oh! No wonder Tozie was okay all that time.

[THAT'S HOW HE DIDN'T STARVE IN THE CAGE...]

Maybe I'll ask Dai-Dai if we can change up the uniform when I get home. Most of the scythe wielders wear robes over their clothes anyway, so it shouldn't make 'em seem any less professional.

[Unlike Ilulu who wears whatever she wants]
