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…. ]

[........




he really wanted to make her beg but this is fine too]

Re: 5/5

[nohalation]

I'm so happyyyyy...

[Sorry it is too late now, but she is holding that hand pretty tightly.]

Re: 5/5

[mourningson]

[fucked up

but he'll hold her hand, and remain perfectly still, until she stops crying

if she does

let me know when~]

Re: 5/5

[nohalation]

[It takes her a good few minutes but she does eventually run out, leaving her mostly with hiccups and sniffles.]

Re: 5/5

[mourningson]

...Angel, do you feel better? I never meant to make you cry like that.

Re: 5/5

[nohalation]

It- it isn’t your fault. It’s okay.

Re: 5/5

[mourningson]

It's fine.

[suddenly he pulls her towards him, reaching out to wipe a tear away with his free hand]

Can I make it up to you?

Re: 5/5

[nohalation]

[??????]

[??????????!???]

[?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!]

You did not do anything...so you do not have to do anything....

Re: 5/5

[mourningson]

[running his thumb along her cheek]

I could do something.

Re: 5/5

[nohalation]

...you do not have to do anything...

[huff]

Re: 5/5

[mourningson]

You don't sound so sure of yourself there. You do want me to make it up to you.

Re: 5/5

[nohalation]

...I do?

Re: 5/5

[mourningson]

You either do or you don't, Angel. Which is it?

Re: 5/5

[nohalation]

[thinks]

...no, I do not need you to make up for anything as you did not do anything wrong. I cry because I am happy now. I will not ask for more. I get to play games with you and I can talk to you and I can see you wear a pumpkin hat on my phone and I can even hold your hand. Truly, I am already so grateful.

[mourningson]

Is that so?

[he leans in dangerously close—]

Re: 5/5

[mourningson]

[—then steps back, releasing her face and her hand like he was never touching her~ his voice is light and airy]

Then I'm grateful, too—and I look forward to seeing you another time.

Re: 5/5

[nohalation]

[She did freeze in place during that, a good opportunity to be murdered you know!!

But when he pulls back, she finally blinks.]

...Okay.

[She also steps back.]

Yes, until next time whenever that shall be.

[And thus she will start walking away.]

Re: 5/5

[mourningson]

[nods before she turns, still smiling as he were before

.......yeah, he'll regret this the most later]
