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. ]

Ah. I see.

[He really does. This is sounding strangely familiar...]

If I may offer some advice...? I would not want to intrude too much.

Please! [He snorts ruefully.] I have no idea what I'm doing. Any help would be good.

I cannot say I know the full details of your life, young one. I only know mine. And in my long life, I have gone through many painful things. Battles both physical and emotional.

If you live long enough, you will see many of these yourself. Sometimes those you thought could be your greatest love will turn out to be nothing more than a stranger. Sometimes a battle does not go quite the way you planned, and you will find yourself scarred.

But scars heal. They may leave their mark, but you should not trouble yourself over them. There will be someone, should you live your life right, who will help you wrap the bandages and help you move on from the event.

It will hurt. That is the nature of living. But do you let a scrape on the knee halt you from getting to your feet and carrying on? Sometimes a bit of fear at the pain is to be expected. But know that if you continue to carry on, you will find yourself rewarded. Not always the way you initially sought, but still.

She's supposed to be that someone. It's... destiny. I can feel it. I'm just like Link so I just know, but...

[Sola looks at his hands, his hair shading his face.]

Sometimes I am him, and sometimes I'm not but even when I'm not I still want to be with her. I want to see her smile, and protect her from everything bad in the world. But even if I feel like Link all of the time, even though Signless and Ion say I should be my own person, I feel like him and I love her even when I'm trying not to and not just because I'm supposed to, because Link does, but because she's so... wonderful. She's smart and beautiful and perfect a-and she loves him so much and I wish I was him to badly, just so she'd be happy...

[He hurriedly rubs his forearm against his eyes, his arm muffling his speech somewhat.]

The curse... it made me into him and I-I... [His shoulders shake with a barely controlled sob.] I don't want it to break!
