EVENS
EVENS: NEW CHARACTERS
Music plays. Instrumental, the tune gentle enough not to disturb peaceful rest. The sudden insistent beep of the Watch is a cutting cacophony across an otherwise sweet lullaby. Upon opening their eyes, new arrivals will quickly discover that something is wrong. The quilt snug across their body is weighty. Crystals glint in a weave of embroidery and cotton shimmers with threads of silver. Dozens of decorative pillows surround the bed. The gauzy curtains of the canopied bed are drawn, obscuring the rest of the room.
Extravagant for a kidnapping. Too extravagent. What’s more, these new guests will find something even stranger than this new diamond-studded suite tucked into bed beside them. Someone else. Who are they, what are they wearing? What happened last night?!
Guests are encouraged to explore the resort from here! There are paper maps available for those who would like and staff are happy to recommend locations if they have any preferences. Enjoy your honeymoon, you lovebirds!
ODDS
ODDS: SPECIAL RE-ARRIVAL
Never trust a hallway in the Golden peacock.
Cross the wrong threshold and time begins to slow. A short hallway becomes long, sheds its doors, only leading to turns without end. Guests too eager to explore the resort have gotten lost before. For how long always varies, dependent upon capriciousness of the resort. Hours? Yes. Years? Yes. Every guest caught in the winding hallways has reported the same thing: time is different there and too difficult to discern.
Some wayward guests have been caught in the endless hallways since the FIRST TDM. Weeks pass before a single doorway appears in the distance. It creaks upon opening before everything goes topsy-turvy. These guests have been let out of a trap door in the depths of Crane's Respite.
All water corridors will eventually lead back to the populated areas of Crane's Respite. The waters are warm, the scent of bath salts returns, and staff are wild with joy at finally finding all of you. They have been beside themselves searching ever since you vanished!
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
▶ Because we love all of the new characters premiering on this TDM, we kindly request that our Evens prompt be top level exclusive for new characters. Current characters are encouraged to tag in to these prompts with the caveat that they’ve been picked up from their assigned suite (or wherever else they were before) and dumped into the new arrival’s bed. We would like for new characters to have this prompt unique to their top level comments!
▶ Players are welcome to have their current character riff off of these prompts in the log community with the exclusion of the new arrival element. This request is just for TDM top levels.
▶ Current characters and new characters are both welcome to freely mess around with the Odds prompt with the exclusion of the arrival element. For new characters, players may participate with the idea that their character is exploring Crane’s Respite after their unique arrival in the Evens prompt. The Odds arrival element may also be utilized by current player characters who may have been on an unofficial hiatus in January and did not tag as much as they would have liked, to explain any long IC absence.
▶ Octopi may be killed. If a character decides to eat one of the octopi they may find themselves taking on some of its traits. Which traits are up to player discretion.
ELEVATORS
ELEVATORS
The house has recently ordered a full changeout of art in all high traffic areas. The elevators in particular have received special attention with many different famous artworks and portraits studded to the walls for guests to admire. These artworks are treasures of the modern world that one would typically see behind glass at a museum. Guests may even find works from their own world hanging in the elevators. Even famous works that maybe have been lost to time. So this is where they ended up. Is that Vermeer's The Concert?
Guests may find their elevator suddenly stopping without warning. The portraits on the wall stir, curiously studying them, but there are three main portraits calling the shots. The portrait that controls that particular elevator will make their demands known with the threat that, if they are not obeyed, you will be trapped forever.
Elevators will function after the portrait's demands are met. Guests that hold out and refuse may find themselves trapped upwards of twelve hours. Guests with the ability to do so may crawl out of the top emergency door, free to go wherever they want from there.
GREAT TIT!
GREAT TIT!
Great Tit! is the Golden Peacock’s popular dessert bar and cafe. With its bright pops of color and whimsical treats, guests simply can’t resist stopping in for a butt shaped cookie and hazelnut coffee. After catching wind that the resort has decided to celebrate a dessert shop's most lucrative holiday, Great Tit! is ready to impress the masses. Advertisements for limited edition drinks and desserts rain the main lobby; one can’t go three steps without slipping on a neon pink coupon for 10 percent off nipple buns. Guests that decide to pass by the cafe will find themselves assaulted with confetti cannons and eager employees ushering them inside.
Guests will find a temporary communal shower room upon exiting Great Tit! where they can wash off after a fun day of rolling around in sugar. All guests will be gifted a tee branded with a, CHOCOLATE IS MY LOVER logo.
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
▶ This portraits prompt has been triggered by several characters expressing interest in and investigating the lore of the resort paintings. This is just dipping a beginning toe in, but congrats to all for poking around!
▶ Portraits in the elevator should not be destroyed, purely for continuity’s sake. If a character would go far enough to attack one of the portraits, the portrait will slap them back with ghostly power.
▶ Characters may also figure other ways out of the elevator if they have specific abilities to do so. While the portraits can control the elevators, they cannot control your character(s). Any destruction to the elevator itself is liable to result in a rush of security dragging the culprit(s) away to the Iron Net.
▶ Great Tit! is running a massive sale! Even characters who are on the broke end of the spectrum will be able to afford to join in on the fun and indulge in sugar at these prices.
▶ Players are encouraged to make up any other elements for the Hall of Chocolate. If it’s a dessert and edible, it’s there. Enjoy your sugar coma!
▶ While the chocolate boxes are ICly limited due to Alessandro’s skills as a chocolatier, this is only an IC mechanic. There is no OOC limitation on this prompt as far as chocolate rarity goes.
THE NEST
ALICE AND THE PARROTS
Fashion boutiques are a dime a dozen in the Nest. The shopping hub is massive, lined with stores all trying to aggressively appeal to guests. A challenge in itself — but the guests of the Golden Peacock are no ordinary people. Used to being pampered and fed excitement, if these boutiques don’t bust their bottoms to appeal to the fickle nature of their patrons, they won’t be in business for much longer! One particular boutique, Alice and the Parrots, is riding winds of romantic thrill and churning out a couple of brand new fashion lines sure to draw in loads of chips.
Guests are welcome to try on clothes in Alice and the Parrots' dressing rooms. These dressing rooms are small and can only accommodate two people sharing at a time. Such is the life of a small boutique store. Sharing is no big deal, right? And there’s no way you can buy clothing this expensive without giving it a test first.
NOTES
PROMPT NOTES
▶ Players are encouraged to make up whatever cute outfits they would like for this prompt.
▶ Wedding clothes do not have to be cute and frilly; this section accommodates tastes of everyone.
▶ Alice and the Parrots is more expensive than Love Dove. Their clothing quality is excellent but their price tags are high. Staff may watch low ranks extra diligently to cut off any stealing. Thieves will be chased by NPC security! Anyone caught gets a day in the Iron Net.
CASINO CHAPEL
CASINO FLOOR
A Pop up Chapel has appeared in the Phoenix Casino. Guests are delighting in playing out weddings and pretending to get married — and a few guests are even tying the knot for real. They aren't worried about the sanctity of marriage; they can divorce tomorrow if they get bored of each other. And everyone knows that getting married doesn't mean you can't fuck whoever you want!
Since the resort isn't keeping track of how many marriages a guest has, all guests are encouraged to marry as many people as they would like. The more the merrier!
Wild wedding events will continue all throughout the month of February, until the guests find it's gotten stale. A divorce rush will round out the fun at the end of the month.

▶ All TDMs are game canon. This TDM acts as the game's February event.
▶ Current characters may top level on the TDM. Please make sure to review the arrival prompt notes! Any current characters posting to the TDM should note they are current in their subject header.

▶ If you aren't satisfied with the prompts on this TDM please feel free to check out our LOCATIONS to explore more of the resort.
▶ Smut threads that take place on this TDM can be used for rewards. If both parties in the smut thread join the game, you may retroactively apply the character's initial card values to your 52 bank. If one character does not join the game the thread will not be applicable toward rewards (as that character would not have a card value). The character that does join would still receive a small payout for the encounter. Hopefully it was a fun thread anyway!
▶ We ask you to kindly add content warnings to your threads as appropriate.
▶ If you do not currently have permissions and kinks listed in your character’s journal we suggest leaving a note in your top level of any limits or boundaries for other players to reference.
▶ Thank you for spending Valentine's Day with us! You're our sweetheart this year. 💕
[She'd been having a nice dream, which was already far different from her usual. She stirs with the faint realization that she's not alone, but it doesn't bother her as it should. Funnily enough, it's that realization that she's not caring enough that clues her in on just how off everything is.
SHe jerks and opens her eyes, staring out into the rest of the room, facing away from whoever else is in bed with her. It's comfy and cozy and...weird. This feels like a photoshoot that went wrong. She shifts and glances down at herself-- the lingerie doesn't bother her, she's worn similar for photoshoots before, but she could've sworn she was at Yuri's place. Had it all been some weird crazy dream?? Why is she wearing white lingerie in a fancy room? Why is there a pretty wedding ring on her finger??
She shifts, stretches out, and accidentally kicks whoever else in the bed with her, making her freeze in surprise.]
B. The Hard-Up Maiden
Her maidenhea- oh. [Oh, okay, no she gets it. Miu stands there, hands on her hips, staring down at the ground with an unreadable expression. She doesn't appear mad, just sort of an embodiment of 'This Might As Well Happen.']
I guess this is one way to lose your virginity. I guess. [She states, flatly, before sighing and eyeing her partner, then complaining out loud:] It's hard to get in the mood when it's on demand, geez.
C. Teasing Trio
[Okay wait, this she can do. Though Miu's been looking bored, bordering on irritated, the entire time, she raises her eyebrows and sort of half-smiles in amusement.]
Oh, okay. Sure. Easy-peasy. [To whoever is with her, in explanation:] I'm an actress. [She clears her throat and then turns to face the other person fully. Her eyes are a bit bigger, a bit watery. A faint blush on her cheeks and a look of adoration]
Hey...Can I have your name? Mine's Miu. I really admire you, you know...
D. The Nest
[Did someone say lolita?? Miu is having a GREAT time in her new outfit, swishing the skirt as she turns side to side to check herself out.
Driving suitors wild definitely seems to work too, as Miu backs away nervously as multiple NPC start trying to chat her up. While at first she takes it in stride, easily keeping up conversation, acting demure and shy, or bold and flirty like a switch being flipped, she is visibly waning after a while. The smile looks more strained, she keeps angling herself away from them or backing away.
None of them seem to take the hint, though, and Miu makes eye contact with anyone she can with a big 'PLEASE HELP' look]
E. Wedding Slot Machines (note: I'm starting w/Easy but also open to things turning Spicy!)
[Hold hands with someone new in the confessional. Sure, alright.
It doesn't take her very long to find someone, immediately tugging on their sleeve.] Hey! Come with me!
[Just starts...tugging them away from whatever they were doing, no explanations given. It's fine, probably.] I just need a quick favor, just come on.
F. Wildcard! [For literally everything else, u know.]
[Well, that's a cry for assistance if he ever saw one.]
Out of the way! Out of the way. [Yeah, he's elbowing people. He doesn't care.] What're you all bothering this lovely little lady for? Didn't you know that she promised me a nice date later? With chocolates?
[He's clicking his tongue - THE SHAME OF YOU ALL - while he's grabbing her lightly by the arm.]
Let's go. Chocolates await, my dear.
[Time to GOOOOOOOOO. He's tugging her away from the crowd, even as he's saying, over his shoulder.]
[She blinks once, the only outward sign of her surprise or that this promised date was news to her. She eyes him a moment, considering, before deciding that he's the safer option. At least there's only one of him!
She flashes a sheepish, apologetic smile at the crowd and gives a little wave] Sorry~ Maybe another time!
[She follows after him, a pleasant little smile slapped on her face that doesn't quite meet her eyes]
Yeah, more or less. Thanks for the rescue, my knight in normal street clothes. Guess I do owe you some chocolate now.
Yeah, yeah, rub it in that I left my armor in the washing machine.
[He does let her go when they're out of the vicinity, swiveling on his heel to face her with a good-natured grin.]
It's alright, though. But...if you're offering...I could go for some. Are you a fan of sweets, though? You seem more like a savory sort of lady, to me.
[She snorts, amused despite herself. When he lets her go she brushes herself off, checking to make sure she didn't get any chocolate on her skirts or anything like that.
She glances up at him, tilting her head as if in consideration. She doesn't think she ever tried to have a preference before, really, so she isn't sure how to respond at first.]
I like everything. But I'm weak to chocolate-covered strawberries. [Or strawberry anything, really. If she had to pick a favorite, that'd be it.]
But, I am starving. So if this was your way of asking me out to lunch or something, then sure, I'll take you up on that.
[ Luckily Miu seems to have happened upon someone apparently willing to be lead along without much in the way of complaint. Kai seems markedly unbothered as she tugs him along, not even bothering to try to break free of the grip on his sleeve.
Really, what's the worst that can happen. ...hm. ]
You should know if you're going to try to kill me it probably won't work.
[ He still doesn't sound all that bothered about it, though. More of a helpful warning than anything. ]
[That makes her laugh, a quick 'HA!' and a toss of her head.]
Well not anymore it won't, the surprise is ruined!
[She pauses and looks one way and then the other, trying to remember where to go before she finds the direction]
Nah, it's nothing like that. This will take like, two minutes of your time and then you can go back to losing your money at slots or dancing or whatever you want. After I get my money, of course.
[ Well one less thing to worry about, good. He's still not sure what his presence has to do with her getting money, but Kai is curious enough at this point to just let it happen.
Though hey, wait a moment. ]
If you need my help to get paid, shouldn't I get a cut?
[ Does he actually need or even care about money? Generally no. But he also knows better than to do favors for free, even if he's not the one who suggested them. ]
Absolutely not. [You don't get SHIT, come on man.] But, if you want to do a challenge thing too, then I'll help you with it in return.
[Which is an even better deal, in Miu's eyes. They both get to keep the money they make and make the same amount! Win-win!!]
I did those slot things. It wanted me to hold hands with someone new in the--Ah! Here we go. [The confessional! Conveniently empty.] In the confessional! So if you pull one, I'll do it with you too.
[ From what he's already seen of the place, gambling here seems like a terrible idea. But Miu's challenge doesn't seem all that bad, and he just hums as he lets himself be yanked inside. He'll even offer her a hand, like a gentleman. Or something like that. ]
Fine. But I'm holding you to that.
[ There's just the faintest touch of something in his tone there. Don't make promises with youkai if you don't intend to keep them, no matter how dumb they are. ]
[She pauses, turning to look at him with a curious tilt of her head] ...Yeah, sure. It's a deal.
[Anyway, now that they're here, she pulls him into the confessional and takes both of his hands in her own, holding them and looking impatiently at her watch. It takes a few seconds before there's a ding! form the watch.]
There we go. My slot thing was to hold hands with someone in the confessional, simple enough. [She smirks, then gestures for him] Like I mentioned, if you wanna pull a slot thing then go for it. I'll do one of them with you.
[ While Rosie isn't necessarily and actress, she knows how to play the role of what someone wants. ] Oho, [ the blond comments, amused.
How quickly she flips the switch is impressive. The blond is quick to follow her lead though, showing genuine but subdued surprise at the 'confession.' ]
M-Miu, huh? I'm Rosie, and... Ha. Wow. I didn't want to hope for something as silly as love at first sigh or anything but it's great to know it's not just me who felt something.
Rosie! [Miu echoes the name with a look of delight] What a pretty name for a cute girl! You're even bright like a flower.
[She reaches out to touch some of Rosie's blonde hair, looking genuinely interested in it] Honestly, I've always liked blonde hair. I don't think I can pull it off as nice as you though.
[She clasps Rosie's hand in both of hers, stepping forward into her space.] Maybe we don't need the elevator to move at all, if it means getting to spend some more time getting to know each other better.
[Miu shifts a bit, just enough so that the paintings can't see her give Rosie a playful little eyeroll as if to say, 'this is ridiculous, right??']
[ Rosie's eyes follow Miu's hand before looking away in faux sheepishness. ] Oh, please, [ she answers. ]
I appreciate that! But I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. Yours is beautiful, like the night sky and shining with stars. [ The hand that entwines in hers is welcomed; Rosie's smile softens as the distance between them is bridged. ]
I was thinking the same thing. Kind of glad for the opportunity. [ Yet, as she says that, she turns her head away too in seeming embarrassment... Only to stick out her tongue in a playful 'bleh' to agree with Miu's silent commentary on this whole situation. ]
[She moves as if she's cuddling in close, bringing her mouth to Rosie's ear] How long until we can set this stupid picture on fire, huh? [And then nuzzling her face against Rosie's hair.
She hates this, honestly, but she's done similar in her various roles or model pictures. So while it's whatever, she's not entirely thrilled either.] I guess cuddling and fluff is someone's fetish.
[The ponytailed blonde joining Miu in the elevator this time is a little less matter-of-fact about the talking portrait's demands.]
Ngh, I don't know if that's-...
[She looks to the girl, uncertainly. She's cute, if a bit on the young side. It's not a big deal if they're just supposed to flirt a little, she supposes. But she's not exactly sure how to go about it when put on the spot like this.
Lucky for her that she got paired with an actress, apparently. In the blink of an eye, she watches the girl's demeanor shift, and suddenly Terry feels like she's being approached by a lovestruck young girl in awe of an older figure she'd admired from a distance.
... Not a bad angle, actually. Terry might not have the same acting skills, but she can roll with this.]
Aw, that's... so sweet. I thought I noticed you looking my way.
[She puts on an indulgent little smile, all the while wondering if she's even doing this remotely right.]
And what a pretty name for a pretty girl. [She shifts a bit closer, her genuine warmth and friendly demeanor helping to hide her own awkwardness.] It's wonderful to finally meet you, Miu. Please, call me Terry.
[Her name sounds so weird in this little performance. But she didn't want to give a fake name to a stranger she's only just meeting!]
[This girl is good. If Terry didn't know this was all an act, she might have been convinced she was dealing with a real schoolgirl crush here. Her blush and the slight nervous energy she has are both pretty genuine here - if in part because she's not confident in her ability to sell this at all.]
If you'd really be okay with that... [In a flash of inspiration, Terry reaches to ever-so-gently brush a lock of Miu's bangs aside, keeping her own smile up. Though she can't help but let a little conspiratorial smirk slip in.] ... I can't think of anyone I'd rather have accompany me.
[Watching Miu's reactions to be sure she's okay with this, she might even maneuver that brush of her hair into gently cupping her cheek. Though, hopefully, she's not giving the painting any ideas on where this 'scene' is going...]
Huh? What? Is there a problem you need assistance with, young mistress?
[On a normal day, Nie Huaisang has all the resistance of housecat getting laundry stacked on top of it and with the spade suit's influence over him, he's even more compliant as he allows himself to be tagged along on the young woman's journey wherever it is that she's heading with such purpose.]
Something like that. [Miu waves her free hand dismissively]
I pulled one of the slot things. As soon as I complete it, I get some money. And if you wanna pull some slots, I'll do one with you too, in exchange. Sounds like a good deal, right?
[poor miu, sizhui knows exactly what she's going through. having been redressed in the outfit he's wearing now, it captured more than a handful of peoples' attention, but he eventually figured out how to dodge them, hoping to make his way back to his room before he ends up being seen again.
however, the look miu's giving him is cause for hesitation, his expression looking a bit stunned as he considers his next move. surely he can figure it out, right?
decision made, sizhui steps forward, casually, gingerly pushing folks aside until he can reach miu.] Ah, ah, so that's where you got off to! I've been looking everywhere for you. [he gestures her toward the brief opening, one arm outstretched to keep some of the people back.] Sorry to disappoint, everyone, but the young miss has other obligations.
[and he dares anyone to question the tight, but still polite smile on his face. whoever does will rue the day they were born.]
[She can't help but stare, a little thrown off, but recovering quickly. He's handsome and pretty, and his outfit matches hers' somehow.
There's grumbles of disappointment as Miu smiles at him and walks by, making a 'come with me' nod of her head.]
So sorry, but we can talk another time~ [She reaches for Sizhui's arm, holding tightly to it. Please don't leave her to walk alone!! she seems to be trying to convey.]
[quite convenient, seeing as the people sound annoyed, but none of them deem it enough to stop the two of them from going. with matching outfits, clearly they know one another in some sense, which is an idea sizhui's all too happy to latch on to if it gets them away from the crowd.
he follows, of course he does, they have to keep up the charade long enough to make sure no one's catching on. seems like they aren't? fortunately.
sizhui holds his smile initially, the pace of his stride increasing to more of a powerwalk, the pleased expression on his face giving way to anxiety as he leans closer and asks barely above a whisper,] Are you alright?

[ There's just the faintest touch of something in his tone there. Don't make promises with youkai if you don't intend to keep them, no matter how dumb they are. ]
Now what?
no subject
[Anyway, now that they're here, she pulls him into the confessional and takes both of his hands in her own, holding them and looking impatiently at her watch. It takes a few seconds before there's a ding! form the watch.]
There we go. My slot thing was to hold hands with someone in the confessional, simple enough. [She smirks, then gestures for him] Like I mentioned, if you wanna pull a slot thing then go for it. I'll do one of them with you.

teasing trio.
How quickly she flips the switch is impressive. The blond is quick to follow her lead though, showing genuine but subdued surprise at the 'confession.' ]
M-Miu, huh? I'm Rosie, and... Ha. Wow. I didn't want to hope for something as silly as love at first sigh or anything but it's great to know it's not just me who felt something.
no subject
[She reaches out to touch some of Rosie's blonde hair, looking genuinely interested in it] Honestly, I've always liked blonde hair. I don't think I can pull it off as nice as you though.
[She clasps Rosie's hand in both of hers, stepping forward into her space.] Maybe we don't need the elevator to move at all, if it means getting to spend some more time getting to know each other better.
[Miu shifts a bit, just enough so that the paintings can't see her give Rosie a playful little eyeroll as if to say, 'this is ridiculous, right??']
no subject
I appreciate that! But I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. Yours is beautiful, like the night sky and shining with stars. [ The hand that entwines in hers is welcomed; Rosie's smile softens as the distance between them is bridged. ]
I was thinking the same thing. Kind of glad for the opportunity. [ Yet, as she says that, she turns her head away too in seeming embarrassment... Only to stick out her tongue in a playful 'bleh' to agree with Miu's silent commentary on this whole situation. ]
no subject
[She moves as if she's cuddling in close, bringing her mouth to Rosie's ear] How long until we can set this stupid picture on fire, huh? [And then nuzzling her face against Rosie's hair.
She hates this, honestly, but she's done similar in her various roles or model pictures. So while it's whatever, she's not entirely thrilled either.] I guess cuddling and fluff is someone's fetish.
Teasing Trio
Ngh, I don't know if that's-...
[She looks to the girl, uncertainly. She's cute, if a bit on the young side. It's not a big deal if they're just supposed to flirt a little, she supposes. But she's not exactly sure how to go about it when put on the spot like this.
Lucky for her that she got paired with an actress, apparently. In the blink of an eye, she watches the girl's demeanor shift, and suddenly Terry feels like she's being approached by a lovestruck young girl in awe of an older figure she'd admired from a distance.
... Not a bad angle, actually. Terry might not have the same acting skills, but she can roll with this.]
Aw, that's... so sweet. I thought I noticed you looking my way.
[She puts on an indulgent little smile, all the while wondering if she's even doing this remotely right.]
And what a pretty name for a pretty girl. [She shifts a bit closer, her genuine warmth and friendly demeanor helping to hide her own awkwardness.] It's wonderful to finally meet you, Miu. Please, call me Terry.
[Her name sounds so weird in this little performance. But she didn't want to give a fake name to a stranger she's only just meeting!]
no subject
Nice to meet you~ Have you been here at the hotel long? I'm pretty new myself... But maybe we can go around together?
[She steps closer, clasping her hands behind her back and lowering her eyelids slightly]
no subject
[This girl is good. If Terry didn't know this was all an act, she might have been convinced she was dealing with a real schoolgirl crush here. Her blush and the slight nervous energy she has are both pretty genuine here - if in part because she's not confident in her ability to sell this at all.]
If you'd really be okay with that... [In a flash of inspiration, Terry reaches to ever-so-gently brush a lock of Miu's bangs aside, keeping her own smile up. Though she can't help but let a little conspiratorial smirk slip in.] ... I can't think of anyone I'd rather have accompany me.
[Watching Miu's reactions to be sure she's okay with this, she might even maneuver that brush of her hair into gently cupping her cheek. Though, hopefully, she's not giving the painting any ideas on where this 'scene' is going...]
slot machines!
[On a normal day, Nie Huaisang has all the resistance of housecat getting laundry stacked on top of it and with the spade suit's influence over him, he's even more compliant as he allows himself to be tagged along on the young woman's journey wherever it is that she's heading with such purpose.]
no subject
I pulled one of the slot things. As soon as I complete it, I get some money. And if you wanna pull some slots, I'll do one with you too, in exchange. Sounds like a good deal, right?
the nest;
however, the look miu's giving him is cause for hesitation, his expression looking a bit stunned as he considers his next move. surely he can figure it out, right?
decision made, sizhui steps forward, casually, gingerly pushing folks aside until he can reach miu.] Ah, ah, so that's where you got off to! I've been looking everywhere for you. [he gestures her toward the brief opening, one arm outstretched to keep some of the people back.] Sorry to disappoint, everyone, but the young miss has other obligations.
[and he dares anyone to question the tight, but still polite smile on his face. whoever does will rue the day they were born.]
no subject
There's grumbles of disappointment as Miu smiles at him and walks by, making a 'come with me' nod of her head.]
So sorry, but we can talk another time~ [She reaches for Sizhui's arm, holding tightly to it. Please don't leave her to walk alone!! she seems to be trying to convey.]
no subject
he follows, of course he does, they have to keep up the charade long enough to make sure no one's catching on. seems like they aren't? fortunately.
sizhui holds his smile initially, the pace of his stride increasing to more of a powerwalk, the pleased expression on his face giving way to anxiety as he leans closer and asks barely above a whisper,] Are you alright?
