Hi! Do you wanna try to do some squares together?

[daydreamshimmer]

[SHE]

[MAY HAVE PONY EARS AND REALLY LONG HAIR RIGHT NOW.]

[Singing does wild things.]

Sure. What do you have?

[bluediligence]

[ Offers up her card for perusal. ]

I love your hair, by the way. It's super pretty.

[daydreamshimmer]

Oh. Thank you. A lot of people seem to think so. [She got kidnapped by Eliza a little bit for it.]

Want to hold hands while we do other ones?

[bluediligence]

I'm not surprised! It's gorgeous. The colours are - I've never seen anything like it.

[ As to the question, she cheerfully offers up one of her hands. ]

What else do you wanna do?

[daydreamshimmer]

You...haven't? It's just hair?

[But taking her hand.]

[...she doesn't get why this is a thing other than to be inconvenient.]

We could also do a roleplay. Get two five minutes out at once.

[bluediligence]

Not as far as I remember. Akako-chan's hair is kind of red, I guess, but most people in my memories have brown or black hair. [ Points to her hair with her free hand. ]

What kind of characters do you wanna try?

[daydreamshimmer]

...really? That's....odd. [Says the girl with amber yellow skin.]

...well, there's a lot of things about confessing and pick up lines.

[bluediligence]

Mm! Really. It makes sense, though, doesn't it? If we're all from different worlds, it's only natural.

[ Takes another look at her own card, humming thoughtfully. ]

Cheesy pick up lines ... I don't think I've ever used any kind of pick up line before.

[daydreamshimmer]

So everyone being these neutral colors...?

No idea, but I can think of cheesy up.

Perhaps I could be my lady's Romance Ore? [Bows and kisses the back of her hand. Handholding doesn't really work with ponies, but can still do the hand kiss thing.]

[bluediligence]

[ wh ]


[ ah ]






[ oh no, you broke it ]

[daydreamshimmer]

[Oh no, that's cute.]

[OH NO, THAT'S HILARIOUS.]

But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Jewel Net is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief.

[bluediligence]

[ oh no oh no oh NO OH NO OH NO ]

[ she's still short-circuiting, mouth opening and closing like a fish ]

I-I, uh, I -

[daydreamshimmer]

Please, my dearest gem, will you grace mine ears with your words?

[Waggles her eyebrows at her.]

[bluediligence]

[ SQUEAKS ]

[ puts her free hand over her tomato-red face ]

Uh! U-Uhm, I, oh ... my ... dearest beloved ... Romance Ore! I must be in a museum, because you're a work of art!

[daydreamshimmer]

Are you sure? Because I thought I was in a Church because you are simply divine.

[bluediligence]

You're the one who must've fallen from heaven!

[daydreamshimmer]

Oh no, no, it cannot be so.

For your see.

[Taking her hand in both of hers, dropping to her knee.]

You have been the light of my life. Every morning, I rise to see your face. Every night, I sleep so I could dream of you. The blue of your eyes my favorite color, the sound of your voice my favorite song. The only way I could fly to heaven is because your very presence makes my soul sword.

Jewel Net, you are the love of my life and I can only hope that you will agree to be mine.

[bluediligence]

[ she's just turning redder ]

[ and redder ]

[ and redder ]

[ even though it's all just for the game, oh god, oh no ]

[ makes a faint wheezy strangled sound ]

[daydreamshimmer]

[Getting to her feet and her other hand goes to Faito's cheek and she's stepping reeeeeeal close.]

Jewel Net....

[A soft whisper.]

[bluediligence]

[ somebody help her ]

[ her hand twitches, like she might've pulled away if it wasn't for the time limit on the handholding square ]

Y-Y-Yes, Romance Ore?

[daydreamshimmer]

[Leeeeeeeeaning cloooooser]

[And last second turns to lick Faito's cheek before stepping back with a shit eating grin.]

Sorry, but it was too hard to resist the jest, my love.

[bluediligence]

[ oH NO ]

[ She makes a small, jerky movement like she really is going to run away - and then just sits down hard right there in the sand ]

[daydreamshimmer]

[She's laughing, sorry, but sitting down beside her.]

I remembered I had a prank square. I hope you will forgive me, my gem.

[bluediligence]

[ pls no bully ]

... You're a menace, geez.
