Who: Feferi and Sollux
What: Kids and Fun and Shenanigans
Where: tba
When: evening 4/7
Style: Action
Status: Closed!

[ There wasn't any sort of set plan, but by the time six o' clock rolls around, Feferi presumes it's as good enough a time for a date as any. She fires off a communicator message to Sollux inviting to her hive, the sets off on the age-old ritual that has managed to transcend time, space, and societal lack of inclination towards fashion: raiding the closet for the perfect outfit. While Feferi's never been as big on fashion as Kanaya, she likes having a little more variety in her closet, and opts for a simple sun dress with a floral pattern. Instead of having her sign sewn onto the garment, she throws on a silver necklace with her sign on it and calls it a day. Good enough, right?

It's a nice enough evening to wait out on the porch. She has some ideas about what to do but nothing too concrete, waiting to see what comes of the night. She knows there's an implied goal here, but she's not too concerned about it. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. She just wants to know where they stand and find out on their terms, rather than on accident. ]

As you very well should.

[ Trying so hard not to collapse into a fit of giggles. ]

How are you just consistently always the greatest? Like, does it get hard, sometimes?? Being so adorably awesome?

[thekidsare0kay]

Wow, no, it's totally just how I am. [He blushes deeply, though] How else could I possibly attract someone as amazing as you, anyway.

[ex_fintastic398]

Just hatched that way, huh?

[ Gosh that's just too cute. ]

Good thing you were my server player. I don't know if we'd ever have had the chance to talk otherwise!

[thekidsare0kay]

That's true. [He often thinks about that, actually.] You might be, I dunno, Gamzee's matesprit or something.

[ex_fintastic398]

That would have been weird! The whole game would have been different...

[ It looks as though she's bringing them to the elevator... ]

[thekidsare0kay]

[He follows her onto the elevator, curious where they're going]

Yeah, that's for sure. I guess it would have been a doomed timeline, though.

[ex_fintastic398]

Yeah...

[ They're going up, silly! But the thought doomed timelines doesn't seem like a very positive topic, so she changes it swiftly. ]

I hope it's dark enough outside!

[thekidsare0kay]

Oh, we're going outside? [He looks up as the elevator rises, nervous] What if the sun is up?

[ex_fintastic398]

The sun is safe here! I go outside during the day all the time. Besides, it shouldn't be, it should be getting close to night time, which is what we want.

[thekidsare0kay]

Oh really? Okay. [He's sure she wouldn't be dumb enough to take him out in the burning sun if it were dangerous, but he did have a moment of wtf just then] I guess it was dumb to be worried.

[ex_fintastic398]

That would be a pretty terrible date, huh?

[ At the top of the elevator, she steps out first, onto the island where the sun's set, the horizon still glowing and the stars starting to dot the sky where it fades from pink to purple to dark blue. The moon is already starting to rise, even. ]

Oh. We're early! Well, we can find a spot and get comfortable.

[thekidsare0kay]

Yeah!

[He looks around curiously as they walk, taking in the colours of the setting sun, and the rising moon. Just one moon. Weird]

This really isn't Alternia... What are we waiting for?

[ex_fintastic398]

We're waiting for the rest of the stars to come out.

[ She leads him a ways down the beach until crest over a dune in a little valley and immediately sets out to laying out some blankets and pillows out of her sylladex. ]

I thought it would be nice to come and look at them, and relax.

[thekidsare0kay]

Wow, okay. [This is why he's the lame one and she's the princess, maybe. He'd never have thought of such a simple, nice plan. He moves to help her lay out the blankets and pillows, then sits down, smiling up at her] That's a great date.

[ex_fintastic398]

I thought it might be. [ Seating herself next to him, she takes his hand in hers, giving a little squeeze. ] I know it get pretty hectic when you first get here and all.

[thekidsare0kay]

Yeah, it was pretty weird. But I couldn't have really enjoyed this, anyway. [He squeezes her hand] Not without eyes.

[ex_fintastic398]

We would have found something else.

[ She takes a moment to lay back and get comfortable where she can look up at the sky. ]

You know, I don't think I ever got a chance to say thanks.

[thekidsare0kay]

[He settles in, too, slipping his arm around her waist and stretching out on his back.] Thanks for what?

[ex_fintastic398]

For being there for me in the Veil. And being willing to give up what you did to protect me.

[thekidsare0kay]

[He was silent for a few moments] Is that really how you saw it?

[ex_fintastic398]

The way I saw it, we protected each other. And you really helped me when I actually needed it. Because everyone needs help sometimes, right?

[thekidsare0kay]

Yeah. [He thinks about that for a bit] And here I thought I got into a stupid fight with an idiot, and got you killed.

[ex_fintastic398]

No. He would have had me killed either way, whether it was... what happened, or leading Jack right to us.

[ Weh. This is not the most romantic turn of conversation. ]

Things really are better now, though. You know I worked things out with him.

[thekidsare0kay]

[Yeah, not really. He nods and turns to the side, giving her a kiss on the cheek]

Yeah, things are better. And thanks for saving me.

[ex_fintastic398]

Any time.

[ She returns the gesture with a little kiss to his nose, before she turns her gaze skywards again. As the sky rapidly darkens, more and more of them become visible. ]

It makes me miss home. A lot.
