Pretty Pretty Princess: Redux

[enterstageleft]

Who: Those Who Play Games
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 300

[ Today you step out of the elevators and into the game room to find yourselves in an airy Grand Ballroom. Maybe, if you've been here long enough--you might recognize this room?

At the front of the room is a buffet table featuring finger sandwiches, petit fours, and savory pastries as well as a variety of small desserts complemented by bottoms-up turned teacups and steaming hot kettles set up for self-serve. From nowhere to be seen comes the sound of instruments playing. Up above, tethered to the ceiling, are what appear to be long curtains. …

The small, square tables feature place cards that as of yet are mysteriously empty, but other than that--there is nothing on the table. Those who have walked in and might prefer to walk out again will find they are mysteriously barred from exiting…. ]

[sighs, tugging free his PROBABLY CROOKED tie and dabbing at the lipstick on his face]

...

[ Hold on, he's reaching into his cloak to take out a handkerchief. ]

Can you lean down?

[and when Eclipse pulls out the handkerchief, he leans down—instead, however, he grabs his wrist and dabs his face with the cloth that way]

Thank you.

[ Huh? ]

[ Huh??? ]

[inspiteful]

[ HUH?????

If it had been someone he'd expected this sort of thing from, he'd probably be reacting differently?

Sunrise is absolutely not one of those people though, so he turns red. ]

Wha-?

Re: Done

[mourningson]

[releases him]

There. All done. Like I said, you have my thanks.

Re: Done

[inspiteful]

Y...you're welcome.

[ He's so confused right now and his face won't stop being red, why! Why now! ]

Re: Done

[mourningson]

...child.

[he's not about to try and seduce a 14 year old at all, but he can bully]

My time will be set on indulging myself, so don't bother tailing me. Find something better to do, like washing the red off that cloth—or the red off your face.

Re: Done

[inspiteful]

[ Normally, he can put up with being called a child, as long as he wasn't already annoyed.

Also normally, he's not this flustered and being called out which also means he's annoyed now, so that just went out the window. He bristles. ]

I'm almost fifteen damn it, and you're not old enough to be calling me 'child'. Only uncles and aunties and actual grandparents and too-fucking-many-gods do that.

...And you don't get to tell me what to do!

Re: Done

Very well, I'm still busy.

[inspiteful]

Yeah yeah, I'll leave you to your decisions that you'll probably have a bunch of feelings about when whatever effects there are wear off.

But first --

Re: Done

[inspiteful]

[ He's tiptoeing up with his arms reaching up to try and grab Sunrise's face. The height difference may be 9 inches but by god is he going to try. ]

Re: Done

[mourningson]

[watching him with a blank face, and not stopping him this time, sir??]

Re: Done

[inspiteful]

Why the hell do so many people here have to be so tall--

[ > Attempt to smoosh Sunrise's face with your hands. ]

Re: Done

[mourningson]

...are you retaliating to being called a child by acting like a child right now?

[said wish squished face, probably a bit hard to hear]

Re: Done

[inspiteful]

It's called being petty.

Re: Done

[mourningson]

...

[snorts, like he has a good joke]

...ah, youth.

Re: Done

[inspiteful]

You're like, what, five or six years older than me? Way too soon to be talking like an uncle.

Re: Done

[mourningson]

What is your concern with how I do anything anyway?

Re: Done

[inspiteful]

Most of the time it's 'cause I care about you. Not that you believe me.

...This one particular time it's 'cause you're the only person here who calls me 'child' to my face and you're not like a centuries-old spirit or something [ Probably. Sunrise doesn't give the impression, anyway. ], so you don't actually get a pass.

Re: Done

[mourningson]

You're very sensitive about being called a child by someone not much older than you. I have to be centuries older just to say that?

Re: Done

[inspiteful]

Well, yeah. Who wants to be called a child by anyone? I would much rather no one did that to me at all, but it's much harder arguing about it with a god when 14 years is a drop in the ocean to them.
