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. ]

*Selphie feels so much safer like this, and it shows on her teeny little face*

Uh huh! But I coulda been a princess... or... a something! But I'm just tiny!

*Jealous pout, much?*

A princess? Yeah, I suppose you could've been but this isn't so bad. Are you supposed to be like Thumbelina or something? I think she's supposed to be a princess.

[He has to laugh at the pout though. She is very cute now that she's so tiny. Like a little mouse cute. Not that he's about to say that because hey- it's probably kind of embarrassing.]
booyaka_boom: (Huh?)

[personal profile] booyaka_boom 2012-02-13 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
But I could have had a beautiful dress and be dancing with a prince... And instead... instead I'm wearing a - stocking...

*She looked down at her makeshift gown and shrugged a bare shoulder*

But I dunno who Thumbelina is?

Don't look so upset. I wish I had found you sooner. I bet you I could've made something neat. Actually...I got an idea.

[He walks over to one of the nearby benches and sits down. He sets Selphie on his knee and then leans over to the nearest rose bush. He pulls off a red rose, fully blossomed, and sets it next to him. Then he reaches around to grab down some hanging willows from the willow tree just above.

He begins to pick apart the rose.]


I never really read the story myself but apparently it's about this miniature girl who goes on all these adventures and eventually falls in love with this flower-fairy prince that matches her size. She grows wings when they marry and they fly along and be happy forever. The usual fairy tail ending.

[He's doing something with the willow and the rose petals and occasionally eyeballs Selphie. The little petals in his hand are slowly starting to take the form of something that almost looks like a dress.]

*Selphie's quite happy sitting on Izaya's knee, though she does have to hold onto his leg in tiny fistfuls to stop from falling*

Wow...Really? That's cute! Maybe I just gotta find my flower prince, then!

*She giggles, head tilted as she watches him pulling something together*

Whatcha making?

[personal profile] kingwithnocrown 2012-02-13 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing.

[He continues to work on this little thing, occasionally reaching around behind him to pick out little tiny flowers.

Finally, he held up what appeared to be a small, little puffy red ball gown woven together to resemble the rose it once was. The willows had carefully been tied up through it told the piece together and it was topped off with a little pink flower for the top part.]


Here. Put that on.

[He sets it in front of her before he closes his eyes and even puts a hand over them. For modesty of course. Not that he had any interest anyway but still.]

*She gives a little gasp when he holds out the dress and she claps her hands loudly, applauding his creation*

That's amazing!

*She's too happy to take it from him, and she's quick about changing - beside, she's too small for him to really anything... And soon the stocking is hanging over Izaya's knee, and Selphie is standing in her gown*

Ta da!~

[personal profile] kingwithnocrown 2012-02-13 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah it's no big deal. I used to make stuff for my sisters all of the time. For them and their stupid dolls.

[Okay, he actually never really minded but it's pretty much an obligation of an older brother for him to refer to his sisters' playthings as 'stupid'.

He parts his fingers and peeks out and then with a smile- removes his hand altogether.]


Ah! It looks pretty.

[And it really did. He reached his fingers out to make sure it was secure and held down well.]

Should be good. Lookit you. See, now you've got a princess look going for you.
booyaka_boom: (Happy Selphie)

*Selphie wobbled a bit as she tried to turn herself around to get a good look at her appearance. From what she could see, she was immensely pleased, and she lifted her beaming face towards him*

I do! I look like a princess!~

*She giggled a little, remembering their child conversations about being prince and princess*

You're so talented!
