The Twenty-Eighth Trial

Who: trialgoers
When: Day 60 all day
Where: the trial zone and elsewhere

[Sometime this morning (morning? there's still no sun, so what's the difference), you feel the call to a new Trial.

The entrance to the Trial Zone is a new one: a tower has sprung up in the clearing, like a bit of a fairytale castle. It's made of a sparkling pink granite and has lovely star-themed carvings -- if you can see them behind the excess of neon and lights its been decorated with. If the fairy godmother made a dance club, this would be it!

Rather than a disembodied "come hither", your call is a video on a big screen above the entrance -- a young man in a masquerade mask and a flashy, witchy costume (including a big hat) stands... on top of the tower?? It's hard to see up there, but on the screen you can tell he's got twinkly star-filled hair and a black cat with blue eyes perched on his shoulder. He's also striking a pose.]

Heroes of Distant Stars, gather 'round! I, the mysterious and handsome witch of love, have a Trial for you! Come into my party tower and prove your love to me! If you're not a weenie, that is...

[Upon entering the tower, you find yourself in a vast ballroom. Lit with rainbow lights, magic sparkles, and an excess of blacklights and glowing things, it really does look like a club. Bubbly electronic pop blares over the speakers, though there are several tables and curtained-off booths if you'd prefer to avoid the dance floor. One table includes infinitely re-filling glasses of fruity soda, which lower inhibitions incrementally as you consume them (though only for positive urges). If you wish to get even more in the mood, there's a changing room with costumes -- all hybrids of fantasy and neon pop, just like the decor.

Time to get your love on!]

Hmm, well, that's fair. We don't have to steal any hearts.

Want a star instead? [ Gestures to one of the many golden strands of stars wound through her hair. ]
terribletwos: (acting like you can care)

Hey, those are kind of cute.

[ They remind him on Naminé a little. ]

I don't know if I really have anything to share...

Thanks! I like them, they're shiny. [ And it'll take her a couple of minutes for her to carefully unwind one; she's got a Lot of hair and some of them got, uh. Tangled. ]

There's lots of costumes and stuff over there ... or! We could do compliments instead? Kisses?
terribletwos: (to live in)

[personal profile] terribletwos 2020-03-15 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[ He cups the star carefully in his hand. ]

Compliments, huh? Well, you look really cool when you're a dragon.

... what's a kiss, anyway?
featherbeaned: (What we need is pumpkin.)

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2020-03-15 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ heh heeeeeeh ]

Thanks for noticing! You look cool, too, your hair's fantastically fluffy and your eyes are like the sky.

Kisses are where humans put their lips together, or on skin somewhere else. Like this! [ Demonstrates on the back of her own hand. ]
terribletwos: (counting the days)

Fantastically fluffy... ?

[ Is that really a compliment?

Though the comment about his eyes makes him think about Sora... He needs him to escape that Malice thing... All of them do. If this is one of those trials, he has to do it right.

He watches Miya, admittedly very confused. But if it's what the trial requires... ]

Uhhh, so I just do that with your hand?
featherbeaned: (Slept through every single weekend.)

Fantastically fluffy! It's cute!

[ Fluffy is good, ok, fluffy is the best way to be ]

Hands, cheeks, lips; there's all sorts of good places for it. I can show you. [ Holds out a hand. ]
terribletwos: (another dream about him)

[personal profile] terribletwos 2020-03-15 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, cute isn't so bad...

He blinks at her and then slowly offers his own hand. ]

[ Gently takes his hand — her own far warmer to the touch than he might have been expecting — and lifts it, pressing a kiss to the back ]

Like that.
terribletwos: (half a life)

[personal profile] terribletwos 2020-03-15 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa... You're really warm. Is that because you're a dragon?
featherbeaned: (We'll make beautiful music together.)

[personal profile] featherbeaned 2020-03-15 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup! It's cozy, right? I'm good at cuddles and snuggles.
terribletwos: (I am a question to the world)

[personal profile] terribletwos 2020-03-15 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Your feathers did look really soft.

... so, uh, am I supposed to do the hand thing too?
