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…. ]

[Again, she looks away, face warm, somehow unable to brush off the words as she usually might. She laces their fingers together, however]

...You don't gotta say that sort of thing, y'know.

[crossmyheartandhope]

S'true, though. And like, maybe I ain't the best at saying it as much as I oughtta, but... you deserve to hear it.

[He gives her hand a little squeeze]

You're pretty great, dude.

[unbr8kable]

[Blushes more deeply, despite herself]

...There’s always that power you got. Like, not right now, but sometime. ‘Cause I know I ain’t good at saying how amazing you are, so.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean. It could be right now, if you wanna. Could be whenever.

You ever wanna use it, just say, okay?

[unbr8kable]

Same.

[Squeezes his hand, smile crooked]

...You don't gotta hold back with me, y'know.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey... it goes both ways. You want something ever, I wanna hear about it.

[unbr8kable]

[Shifts, ducking her head some]

Like I don't already talk your ear off. There's plenty better things to talk about.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Not to me, there ain't.

[unbr8kable]

Maybe you just ain't thinking big enough. How's the sub coming along, speaking of?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Nuh-uh. Nice try.

[unbr8kable]

What? It's objectively pretty big.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Pretty sure we were talking about stuff you want.

[unbr8kable]

If you got undersea dreams, I want those to come true.

[crossmyheartandhope]

And?

[Nudging at her]

[unbr8kable]

...Missed you being a fish. That's one of my great regrets. I coulda gone into the deeps and watched you in your natural habitat.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sorry, dude. That one I can't make come true.

[unbr8kable]

You just gotta learn how to scuba. Bet they got tanks in the store.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Pretty sure that ain't the same.

[Poking at her]

And you're totally changing the subject again. You gotta tell me at least one thing you want, for real.

[unbr8kable]

You saying you couldn't be graceful under the sea even not being a fish? 'Cause somehow I doubt that...

[And after batting at his poking hand, she grabs his wrist to tug him over instead]

[crossmyheartandhope]

I dunno, dude, I'm pretty bad at swimming. Guess I could give it a go, though.

[Lets himself be tugged, going easily to settle in against her]

Every time you try and change the subject, though, you gotta tell me one more thing you want. New rule, I just made it up. So you're at two, now.

[unbr8kable]

Maybe I just got something I wanted. And I'm pretty sure you're the one changing the subject.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Up to three, dude. You better start making wishes or you're gonna have me waiting on you hand and foot all day.

Or maybe that's the plan?

[unbr8kable]

...Guess it has been a while since you pulled out the old maid uniform...

[crossmyheartandhope]

Four, unless the outfit's wish number one.

[unbr8kable]

[Pokes him in the side]

How is that changing the subject? You brought this subject up, talking about your desire to be a manservant! You're railroading me into your order kink!
