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.

He - he kissed me.
[And it was more than a kiss - some sick kind of blood binding that was powerful enough to tear through everything - Shizuo didn't want to think about that. He balls his hands into fists and grits his teeth at the memory, but the anger is short-lived - a small, tiny fuse. Because he had kissed Izaya, too. And yet - ]
It's confusing. I'm confused. I'm not made to think about things like this, I just don't. I hate it. I hate trying to make sense of nonsense. I think - I think Izaya wanted this to happen.
[But there's not a lot of conviction in that statement, because it's only what Shizuo wants to believe.]
He knew. He knew it wasn't me.
no subject
But he woke you up, Shizuo. He didn't want you to be affected by the curse, to continue acting differently from normal.
[Her final thought goes unvoiced. Maybe Izaya didn't want to take advantage of Shizuo's kinder state.]
no subject
Oh - oh fuck. You're - but -
[Never mind that under normal circumstances Shizuo would not have sworn around Zelda. He feels like he's almost waking up a second time. Izaya had tried to tell him no. Izaya had tried to urge him away, to encourage him to find a princess - to wake up.]
You're right. [He says it miserably. Earlier, he couldn't even think about it, had been too wrapped up and Izaya had been so cruel - almost normal in the way he wished Shizuo the worst.]
You're right...
no subject
Do not feel badly. Your mind was tampered with, it's natural that you would not have noticed.
Brb for like an hour
He almost wants to laugh, again. He really is something of a monster, and Izaya knows that better than anyone.]
Right.
[But he's only agreeing for the sake of agreeing.]
Things can go back to normal now.
no subject
Do you want things to go back to normal?
no subject
Yeah. I do.
[If they could somehow erase everything that had happened - go back to Ikebukuro with no memory of any of this, he'd accept it, easily.]
no subject
Maybe this curse will be one of those that we think of as a bad dream, afterwards.
[Her voice is soft, a little hopeful. There were curses like that, she had read about that.]
no subject
[He gives her a small smile that he doesn't quite feel.]
Thanks. For listening.
[He remembers telling her earlier that evening that she is a good friend. He's glad he did.]
no subject
I will always listen. But for now... I think you need some rest. You have lost a lot of blood, I'm sure that makes all of this that much more confusing. I know where my home is still if you would like to come. It's closer than the lower district.
no subject
[He gives in easily, because he is exhausted, and though he knows where his home is, he doesn't exactly want isolation right now.]
no subject
Probably. She's pretty worried about him.]
Awww Zelda...best friend ever
no subject
You go ahead and get out of that shirt, alright? I'll get you something to drink.
[Because his voice sounds rather hoarse. She steps out of the room, letting him get out of his ruined shirt and under the covers in privacy.]
no subject
And because he feels calm and safe, he's asleep even before Zelda returns.]
