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
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.
no subject
Perhaps you're right. I haven't known him for long. But you know, Izaya, I've learned something since coming to Vatheon.
[There's a smile on her face, but it's not a pleasant one. It's almost painful.]
You can't completely understand people just by observing them. You have to open yourself to them, too. It seems counter intuitive, doesn't it? As if one should be able to see more if they don't get involved in everything personally. But it's not that way.
no subject
You think I don't know that? Trust me. I do. I try to get close to him in the only ways that I know how to. And if that's through his rage, then fine.
And what about you, Zelda? You seem like the preoccupied type. You're a Princess of where you come from but you're still focused on the ways of your world that you seem to forget you're not in that world anymore. What about your happiness? And your love? Isn't that something worth consideration?
no subject
[She closes her eyes, tilting her head back.]
That isn't the case for everyone, though. For some people, their happiness lies here. The constraints of their world are removed in this place, and they can pursue it.
no subject
That's right, isn't it? Vatheon is open to possibilities. Very unique place it is. But that doesn't necessarily make it easier.
[He becomes quiet and walks over to Zelda a bit more directly, invading her personal space. He looks down at her and reaches a hand up to put his finger to the center of her forehead.]
You really are a princess.
[He smiles and leans forward and removes his finger to instead press his mouth against her forehead in a simple, platonic kiss.]
I don't like to talk about him like this. It reminds me of things. And it's easier to just hate him back. I'm sure you understand, nn?
no subject
I do. It's a difficult thing.
[Her hand reaches out to touch the plaque. Reluctant love. Who wouldn't be reluctant? It hurts...]
no subject
Maybe that's why he decided to talk to Zelda about it tonight. That and maybe he was just breaking a little more than he cared to admit.
After all, appearances mean everything.]
Thank you, Zelda.
[It's for everything, really. And never saying his name directly. It made it easier, that's for sure.]
I think I'm going to go to the gardens, nn? Roses are a favorite flower of mine. Especially the red ones.
no subject
Anytime. You should enjoy the garden while it is here, it's lovely.
[She raises her hand in a small wave, wondering if Shizuo ever did leave the gardens or not.]
