“That sounds like it'd be fun!" Unintelligible finished his tea, then stared at the empty teacup in his hand, wondering what exactly he was supposed to do with it. "So, would you like to dance?"

The empty teacup vanished. Sequence paused, looking at him curiously for a moment. “.. Dance?” She looked thoughtful, then her look changed to one of disappointment. “That sounds… Nice, but I’m afraid I don’t know how to dance…”

55 minutes ago, Immortal Platypus said:

"I'm not really a party person. Haven't really interacted with anyone, and I don't really need to. Just keeping an eye on Platypus. Something is going on."

Sequence laughed. “Well that sounds rather boring! Can I get you a drink, at least?”

 

EDIT:!!!!!! I went back and read some of the pages I missed, and OH MY GOSH am I glad I threw this party . All these characters getting together and being SCUDDING ADORABLE. I'm looking at you, Shoe and Beosta, and you, Subversion and Nogard.

She frowned deeper, disapproving. She still didn’t like that Beosta girl. “People shouldn’t make other people get drunk.”

“Oh, she only threatened to kiss him.”

He rested his head on his arm on the bar, looking at her with a suddenly serious expression on his face. He nodded.

Mhm.

His expression made her blush. “Yeah. —And like Tam. When she makes snow appear and stuff.”

"Yeah." Cricket said. "We were so... apart. She was seven and I was ten, but I barely ever saw her. My father was a lord, Earl of Sonchester, and I was his eldest son. He thought that I should be responsible and didn't like me playing. Part of the reason I left, I suppose. I didn't want to be an earl."

also Glass I had a crazy TLT dream last night! Tam, for some reason, decided to make Cricket a criminal empire which he didn't want, and Tam started attacking his enemies with packs of wolves and chained Cricket to a throne. It was weird.

@Through The Living Glass did you see this?

He looked at the bartop. Not on me though. Wet and cold should never together- should never go together, he corrected himself.

I'm excited to see where this goes! Tam cheerfully (and somewhat mischievously) told Beosta.

Oh sorry! No!

"That is a lot of responsibility," Tam agreed.

She thought for a moment. "Do you think you did the right thing?"

"It's... complicated." Perseus said. "Thousands of years ago, several gods of darkness were banished to a hell, called Ragnorok. As they Fell, they dragged with them an innocent tribe of humans, Skavi, who they enslaved and tortured. I am a Skavi, who is trying to free my race from Surtur and Hades. However, somehow I was banished from Ragnorok before I could kill them, and I need to use a Plotblade to get the gods to banish me back to Ragnorok, so I can kill them with the Plotblade. Then I will return it to you, I swear on the Tree of Wisdom."

Moni frowned. "How is my Plotblade going to help you get banished into Ragnorok?"

"Well," said Nogard teasingly, "if I can't imagine it, I suppose I'd better appreciate the sight while I have the chance."

He looked intently into Subversion's eyes.

Subversion felt her heart flutter as she stared back into Nogard's beautiful green eyes. That strange sadness rose up inside her again, but she forced it back down. No. I'm not going to think about that right now. She smiled at Nogard, grey eyes seeming to glow with reflected moonlight.

43 minutes ago, Immortal Platypus said:

"I mean, I was, but it also applies to other things." Platypus looked Unintelligible up and down. "Are you sure? You both mentioned something kinda similar, and I don't think anything is happening to me."

"Well, maybe she noticed it too." Unintelligible shrugged. "Where you serious about wanting Love Triangles?"

Unintelligible laughed. "You'll be in good company then. I happen to be cursed with two left feet." He offered her his hand. "Come on, it'll be fun!"

“Agreed. Warm water is nicer than snow.” 

I’m not. This is scary.

His expression made her blush. “Yeah. —And like Tam. When she makes snow appear and stuff.” 

“That’s worse,” Sasha grumbled. “Honestly, doesn’t anybody have a moral compass anymore?”

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, Through the Living Feather said:

I’m not. This is scary. 

Mhm! he agreed, looking back at her.

Why is this scary? You're the one who got him drunk! Tam replied.

Unintelligible laughed. "You'll be in good company then. I happen to be cursed with two left feet." He offered her his hand. "Come on, it'll be fun!"

She looked at him again, then gave a slight smile and took his hand with only a little trepidation. "Well, here's to hoping we can somehow learn on the fly!" She paused, then looked around the deck and cabin. "... Where have people been dancing? There isn't much room around here." With that, she waved her free hand and the collection of tables, chairs, coffee tables, sofas, rugs, and other such furniture shifted around into a position that allowed a decently sized open space in the middle. There had been one there before, but this time it was much more comfortably sized. She nodded and gave a satisfied smile. "Much better!"

Cricket was silent. "No." he said finally. "I feel bad for leaving, yet I'm not sure how long I could've have survived as an earl. I wasn't made to rule."

“You’d be shocked,” Lady Bug told her cheerfully. 

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

Mhm! he agreed, looking back at her.

Why is this scary? You're the one who got him drunk! Tam replied.

“You wanna go for a walk? See if you can walk straight?” 

Yeah, and now it’s scary!

[kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ she/her]

Just now, Through the Living Feather said:

Yeah, and now it’s scary!

“I’m sure I would,” she said flatly.

Gaioh walked up. “Hi! Mind if I join the conversation?” 

Bat was tailing him, but stayed farrrrr away from Lady Bug.

That sounds fun! he said cheerfully, standing. He immediately started to fall over, but managed to prop himself up on the bar, giggling again.

"No perfect choice, huh?"

“Oh, I’m Faunus, but it’s very nice to meet you, Kion. I am enjoying the party so far, what about you?” She followed his lead quite well, dancing rather gracefully, the long skirt of her green dress flaring out with each spin, her waist length strawberry blonde hair spraying with it. This of course, was purely due to the effects of her narration, as she would occasionally slip when distracted, and do a misstep.

Kion dances as if he hasn’t a care in the world, for indeed, until his spell wears off, he doesn’t. “I haven’t been to a party this big before. I’m loving it, although I suspect it would be hard not to.” I just realized this can be a spell. Thus: He looks at his practical outfit, then at the elegant dress Faunus is wearing. “Fashion!” he declares, and suddenly his outfit has been quite stylish since they’d started dancing. The Render, still within the ball of metal, notices its quarry casting yet another spell. And a transformation one too - it uses its increased ability to sculpt itself to slowly become more humanoid in shape.

“Hey, me too! Up until yesterday ish. I’m Gaioh, and the dude with the arm tattoos is Bat.”

“Here, I’ll help you.” She propped him up on her shoulder. 

Cuz of what might happen. Or what he might say. Like maybe he secretly hates me.

"No perfect choice, huh?"

"Nope." he agreed, settling back. Then he froze. "Tam." he said urgently. "The hunters found Welderan, and destroyed it. They knew where I was. What if they found my home?" 

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

Just now, Through the Living Feather said:

Mm okay. Thanks, he said somewhat sleepily.

What are you afraid could happen? And what, you're afraid of rejection? I seriously doubt he hates you, Beosta.

“Tattoos?” Sasha’s eyes widened, and she glanced at Bat. “Woah! Holy chasms, those are really, really cool!”

“On second thought, maybe we should just find a couch somewhere you can pass out on.” 

Well… he could. He might.

She could see the panic behind his eyes. "I don't know . . . do you want to do something about it?"

Just now, tHrOuGhThELiViNgQuEsAdiLlA said:

Bat blushed and met her eyes in thanks. 

“They protect him from Narration,” Gaioh said.

The inside of the Render's metal cage is well-lit and relatively comfortable. The Render hears a voice. It doesn't sound like Sequence. 

Are you ready to behave?

She could see the panic behind his eyes. "I don't know . . . do you want to do something about it?"

"I... I need to go check." he said, getting up. "I need to go home and make sure. Tam... will you come with me?"
