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:
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. ]

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.

no subject
Was he? Ah, how kind of him. I did. It was pretty unusual. I've never felt that kind of tired in my life before...
[He doesn't really like to talk about it. He glances at those wings and- ah. How unique. He reaches a hand out to touch them lightly, a look of interest upon his face.]
Oooh, a siren? How dangerous! Yeah, you seem like your usual self again. This curse is really weird though.
[He thinks briefly on Shizuo and frowns, a hand already up to his chest where he'd been cut.]
Sola is all right, isn't he? I haven't had the chance to catch up with him yet- although I'm sure he knows I'm awake by now.
no subject
He is physically safe. The... curse made him think he was Link again, though. I wasn't entirely myself either. I believed it...
[She raises a hand to her chest. It hurts to remember his face when he left.]
We kissed. That's when I regained my sense of self.
no subject
[He laughs. But it's out of disbelief.]
Guess I wasn't the only one who received a...weird kiss because of this curse.
[His eyes roll to Zelda's face and frowned a little.]
...Are you okay? I mean. From the kiss.
no subject
U-umm... yes, I'm alright. I suppose. I didn't expect my first kiss to be like that, but I thought it would break the curse at the time...
no subject
He's just not going to say anything.]
No one expects their first kiss to be how it is. And yeah. This curse is pretty ah- kisses seem to make people think weird things. It's a fairy tale sort of curse, isn't it? That's what I've gathered anyway.
no subject
[She looks over at the riddle with a sigh.]
I just wish that I knew people here a little better. I want to be sure of who this is referring to before trying to push them together.
no subject
[He glances at the riddle and skims it.]
Sounds pretty tragic. I don't really care too much though. It's not like I'm affected by the curse. And anyway, love is pretty dumb.
And so is the whole kissing thing. A kiss isn't that powerful. Besides, if they're meant to come together, then they will. Whether or not someone settles this riddle.
no subject
[She looks at him, perked up suddenly.]
You're right! This is all a fairy tale, isn't it? So it will all work out in the end.
no subject
...Hey. You're right.
[He looks excited for a moment, his mouth twisting into a smile when suddenly it stops.]
But I guess that's really just for them.
[Indifferent expression and he feels a little strange. Oh curses. How he disliked you.]
So, I got a question for you. How do you give someone your heart?
no subject
[So he really was the one Shizuo kissed.]
But I would imagine... that you place your faith in them. That you consider that person before yourself. When that idea isn't scary anymore, then you could consider your heart given away.
[It's a terrifying idea and Zelda is NEVER going to do it herself.]
no subject
[But he looks confused because-]
Wait, are you talking about love? The metaphorical sense of giving someone your heart?
no subject
[Seriously, guys. Why did you both think of giving someone your actual physical heart before thinking of love?!]
no subject
[WELL. He did try to cut it out in all fairness. Of course Izaya's going to jump to that conclusion.
...But.]
But just so you know, Zelda, I don't think that you give someone your heart like that. Not always. I mean sometimes you just give it away because you have no choice but to give it away. Isn't love the most unpredictable and violent thing in known world? You can't control when it comes and how its taken. I think that's why it's on the other side of hate so often. It makes one impulsive and so taken with emotion that everything else becomes blurry. Love is fascinating. It really is. And watching people be in love is even more interesting. The way they interact and portray their emotions. The way they grow so disgustingly dependent and rendered useless by the people they love.
[Tch. He doesn't even seem to be talking to Zelda anymore.]
Love seems so pointless to me. I could never love a human. They're so predictable. I think I'd get bored by the second date. And anyway, I'm not really interested in that kind of thing to begin with.
[Right. Zelda. He grins at her suddenly again, as if just remembering that he was still talking to her.]
But Valentine's Day is coming up and that's no way to talk about love with the emotion's holiday around the corner.
no subject
The fact that he feels the need to quantify that he could never love a human is even more interesting.]
It seems to be exactly the time to talk about it, don't you think? Whether your opinion is that it is worthwhile or not. I am curious though... why did you say that you could never love a human? Do you think you could love something else?
no subject
[He somewhat tenses at that question. He's stated it plenty of times before that he could never love a human but no one ever really seemed to question the part where he said 'human'.
But Izaya merely tilts his head.]
Something else? What do you mean by something else?
no subject
Exactly that. If you can't love someone that you consider human, could you love someone that you do not consider to be so? Would they be less boring?
no subject
Izaya's not an idiot after all. And he has a feeling that she knows what's up. So he gives her a bit of a leveled stare.]
It's not that much to ask for someone who is unpredictable. A spontaneous lover is the best kind of lover. And when everyone is so predictable to you...Meeting the one person that isn't usually is a pretty elevating moment.
[And he smirks, perhaps a bit darkly to himself, and looks away from Zelda and elsewhere.]
Even if they're something of a monster. But there's really no healthy way to love a monster, now is there? Then again- it fits really. There's only one other thing a monster can handle and deal with. And that's another monster.
no subject
I still can't think of you as a monster, but if that is how you see yourself... then what is unhealthy about caring for someone that shares something with you, even if it is something negative?
no subject
[He pauses. He doesn't really know if he wants to get into this. Not after the things he's been through recently. It's starting to wear on him though and even though he likes to play high and mighty over the human race, he's just as likely to collapse as they are.
There's just some layers of madness that prevent that.
But he laughs at her question. He does.]
I don't know if unhealthy is the right word. And it'd be fine if it was the same as it always was. But it's when the chess pieces get moved around that the game changes and becomes something else that it becomes unpleasant...
[But really. He doesn't know how to talk about this so he's just going to turn his back to Zelda somewhat and shrug his shoulders.]
Oh well. It's not that interesting of a topic anyway. Love between monsters and kings.
[He smiles to himself.]
It's a barbaric war! Zelda, and you're a queen among it all, aren't you? I bet you feel really lucky to be the lovely, white queen in this game.
no subject
It is a war, isn't it? Though I'm not quite sure why I would be considered a queen in all of this.
[She shifts her weight, deciding to be blunt.]
I will not force you to keep discussing this if you don't wish to, you know. I don't want to make you uncomfortable. I am admittedly interested if you would like to continue, though.
no subject
[He looks over his shoulder at her then.]
It's never just two people in any situation. It's never that simple. You're not the only other piece in my game. Everyone serves a purpose.
Ooooh? Is that right? And why are you interested in my love life, Zelda?
no subject
[She looks off to the side with a small smile. That was part of it, yes. Zelda was naturally curious about everything, but really...]
Those are the reasons you'll believe, at least. It's also because I want to see both of you happy. Whether you would be or not, who is to say?
no subject
Aheh. You know. I don't think he'd be very happy with me at all. He's the one who hates me, remember?
[He turns around a bit more entirely to look at Zelda. Well. It's not that hard to talk about it.]
I know that I probably would be. But I don't really bother with thoughts like that. It's a little juvenile of me. And I already went through that in high school.
no subject
...I do not think he hates you. I don't think he knows what he feels. It seems to be the same as what you feel, though. Confused. Afraid of what that confusion might mean.
no subject
I know exactly how I feel. And I'm pretty sure that I know exactly how he feels. I've known him for seven years. You've known him for a month at most. I know him better than anyone else. I've observed him constantly. I'm not confused about anything. And if he's confused about something, then I don't know what.
