vatheon | bluh bluh huge ball

Characters: Vatheon
Location: That Castle
Time: Evening, on Sunday
Style: Any
Status: OPEN. Threadjack, threadhop, spam away!

[ Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen of Vatheon— whatever your newfound stature may be, Prince, Princess, Knight, or Peasant, you will all receive a message on your SFC on the eve of Saturday regardless:

You are cordially invited to the castle for this evening's ball. In addition, you are all welcome to try and solve the riddle if it fancies you. It just may break the curse!

The invitation is unsigned, but its intentions are clear. Maybe you hadn't quite noticed the sizeable castle in the distance of the city that had sprung up, but this message would surely garner your attention toward it now.

Should you arrive at the castle, plenty of attractions await you:

Ballroom ❧ A very large and beautiful ballroom is lighted up, complete with a playing violin orchestra. While the curtains will be drawn during this event, there is a windowed view and exit on one side of the ballroom that leads to:

Smee's Rose Garden ❧ A broad and colorful spanse of a garden, complete with many paths and turns. Plenty of roses are arranged in great arches, which provide perfect little places should you need some privacy with your sweetheart. Anyone familiar will even tell you that the garden was purposefully designed for just that sort of thing.

The Riddle ❧ There is an inscription located on a noticeable plaque set in one of the garden's benches. It reads:

Two are necessary to break this curse
Riled up, upset, what kind of love?
Only this kiss will stop it from getting worse.
Look for a winged one is push comes to shove,
Look for a glance slightly dark,
Search for a pair in reluctant love.
One answers a call; that's your mark;
One longs for patria though adverse.

Dining Hall ❧ Connected to the ballroom is an extremely long hall that stretches as far as the eye can see, elegantly arranged as the dining area. Expensive and exquisite cuisine seem to be on the menu— try something new? Chances are you won't be eating from a selection such as this again anytime soon!

Dais ❧ There is a noticeable raised dais that is easily visible via any area within the ballroom. It's locked off from guests, though— what is it for...?

Do enjoy. ]

Definitely don't. [No, stop flustering the bird. Making him ruffle his feathers a bit and make a bit of a face.]

[Don't think he misses that feather ruffle, Dave.]

Oh? So I imagine an offer to teach you would be left ignored?

I know how to dance. [No he doesn't. Dancing is not something he knows as a bird.]

Ah, my apologies for my assumption, then. [He gives a low bow.] Are you as good at dancing as you are at song?

No. My singing capabilities are a tad better then my little dance routine. Girls fall for the velvety voice like it ain't even a thing.

I do not doubt this. But only girls? I am sure you have had quite a few young men long for your song as well.

[Oh this is awkward already, since the first thing he considers was John. And well, that was territory he wasn't going to let himself relive anytime soon.]

I guess so.

[A low chuckle, and Darkleer raises a hand to his chin as he stares down at the bird-boy thoughtfully.]

You are quite a modest songbird, aren't you? There is no shame in being desired.

[He huffs a bit.]

It isn't exactly on my mind I guess. I mean being desired. [So much for being confident about having bitches all over you Dave. Real smooth.]

Really? And you appear to be just getting to the age where it wouldn't be uncommon. There is not even one who catches your eye?

No. None.

[He almost said she left. But he doesn't want to talk about that either.]

What a shame.

[Leaning down, he curls his fingers just so beneath Dave's chin, pressing his face up a bit.]

You are quite the young man, for your young age, and I imagine you will be a marvelous catch as you grow older.

[Wow. Wow what even is going on?]

Not that I don't appreciate that you're totally complimenting on how fine I am, but...

My personal bubble has been severely popped at the moment.

[Oh Dave. If only you knew more about Greek mythology, like you do about other kinds.]

Really? I would daresay that is the only thing that has been popped, then, for this is hardly but a brush of skin against skin.

Now, to truly make that bubble disappear, I would have to do something quite different. For example...

[He leans in...]

[And just brushes his lips against the very top of Dave's head, giving a very rough snort that ruffles his hair. Then he pulls back and takes a few steps away, looking smugly amused.]

That.

You are quite a child, are you not? You need to fear nothing from me.

[~~Hit adulthood, Dave, and then we'll talk.~~]

[...]

[Oh...]

[The worst part of this all, is he's acutely aware of what the other was implying.]

I wasn't implying anything like that. Jegus christ. Maybe I was just a little surprised at the sudden physical contact.

[Bluh. You're doing this on purpose to mess with him. Consider yourself successfully ruffling all his feathers.]

[Heh. You are kind of quite cute despite not being quite in his proper age interests, Dave. Maybe he will kidnap you and give you to one of his 'sons' as a gift. He wonders idly if they have a... taste for fowl.]

I have a feeling you would be surprised at a great deal of things. Ah, the naivete of youth.
