TDM #2 - Spring is in the Air~

[faewildmods]

Spring is In the Air; Our Second TDM is here and we're ready for some warmer weather!

☙ Arrival ☙

'You find yourself wandering through a forest of strange colors. The last thing you remember is a strange ring of mushrooms in a riot of shades, singing to you in ethereal tones, tempting you and telling you to step in the midst them to discover riches beyond measure. As you do, a bright white light flashes before your eyes. When your sight returns, the forest of bizarre trees and plants looms before and around you.

As you step forward, laughter—deep and menacing and also light and tinkling—follows your footsteps. Yelling, questioning, gets you nowhere. Only a narrow path of stones allows you to avoid the foliage that seems to want to eat you alive. If you step off of the path, you find vines wrap around your legs, dragging you into the dark interior of the forest, until you wake up later, your body covered in strange symbols that will disappear after a few days. For those wise enough to not tempt fate and stay on the path, soft blue lights—fairies of indeterminate sex—appear, and beckon you to follow them down the path through the trees. A few hours of walking brings you to a village of stone and wooden thatched houses that appear as if they're both brand new and ancient at the same time.

A creature that at once appears to be monstrously beautiful and hideously decrepit steps forward to greet you, holding out a small silver hand mirror with a smile that makes your blood run cold (if you have any sense). "Welcome to the Fae Wild, child. This is the domain of the Handmaiden of the Sidhe Queens. Come with me. The others are waiting. All will be explained once we are gathered." It is then that you see the others spoken of, people that look almost.... normal and just as confused and angry as you are.

Dare you step forward to learn your fate?'

So, you’ve survived the trip down the path and made it to the village that is the heart of the Fae Wild. The Handmaiden and her helpers, mostly pixies, brownies and some sylph and dryads, are handing out silver hand mirrors to all of the newcomers. Once you’re all gathered, the Handmaiden will explain that you’ve been brought here with the promise of riches and treasure through the magical fairy rings. While you’re here, you will be expected to assist the fae creatures in the activities the Handmaiden has picked for you to do.

If you agree to it, you will be richly rewarded. If you refuse? Well, how much do you enjoy the thought of being put under a cloche jar for a while? Don’t worry. You’ll be able to breathe in there. It wouldn’t be good to have someone die on their first day after all. After securing your agreement, your mirror will flash five times, and tapping the surface shows a letter-type of message in flowing script, telling you how to reach your new cottage during your stay.

Questions to the fae may or may not be answered, but never fear. They want you alive. For now.

☙ Clever Clovers ☙

With the warming of the weather, more small fae seem to be spilling into the Fae Wild all clad in green. Against the starkness of the snow of winter and the darkness of the long nights, the sight is a welcomed one by the regular denizens of the village. While these new fae travel around, they’re followed by trails of light that disperse in many directions. As the motes hit the ground, they burst into showers of sparkles that leave behind bright sparks of greenery that would make a fully stocked conservatory blush in envy.

For those that know, the closer you get to the new plants, the better you can tell that you’re staring at Trifolium, or better known as clovers. No flowers have bloomed yet, but the unmistakable clusters of three leaves gathered around a central stem are there in all their simple beauty.

The new fae—leprechauns from the Summer Court, of course—are happy to tell you that they will reward you if you can find their special shamrock among all the new plants. For those of you who pick the standard three-leaved clovers, you’ll be given recipes for teas and dishes that they can be used in, with the promise that any food products consumed of these varieties will shake off the last of the Winter’s blues that are sticking around stubbornly. If you are lucky enough to find a four-leaved clover, a real and true shamrock, the leprechauns will happily reward you with one wish (within reason, of course). And, those of you who find a five-leafed clover….

Well, you like having green skin for the next week, right?

Make sure that you sign up down below so the mods can RNG which clover you find.

☙ Rampant Blooms ☙

Spring arrives with the first few brave buds of crocuses and daffodils pushing their way up through the still snow-scattered ground. These blossoms are only the vanguard of what is to come, and soon the Fae Wild is awash in flowers, bright and colorful and full of the promise of warmer weather and brighter days.

And also full of magic. Because it’s the Faewild.

Each species of flower seems to have its own flavor of enchantment. Breathing in the scent of the flowers or even a casual brush against their petals will be enough for the spell to take hold.

Daffodils will inspire uncontrollable joy. Even the most dour and curmudgeonly sort will find themselves all smiles and laughter, unable to contain the happiness, Hey, there are worse things, right?

Soft blue forget-me-nots on the other hand, are the source of sorrow and tears. They will dredge up the saddest moments and memories in your life and leave you a weepy, sniffly mess. Cry it out, babes. Maybe it’ll be cathartic?

Trumpet shaped petunias will leave you in a rage. Even if you’re not the type to ever lose your temper, you’ll find yourself lashing out. Verbally, physically, who knows. Could get dicey.

Hyacinths summon jealousy and envy strong enough to overwhelm your better senses, even if there’s no rational basis for it.

Regal irises stir terror inside those they afflict. Everything is suddenly frightening, even for the bravest warriors.

Red, pink, white, and lavender roses will have you absolutely bursting with love. Romantic love? Platonic love? Could be either, but wow are you just so full of love. Better share it. Hugs? Confessions? Crying over how lucky you are to know the object of your affection? Yeah, all that.

Orchids on the other hand, well, those are less love and much more lust. Orchids act as an aphrodisiac. Hopefully you at least wait until you’re behind closed doors? Or else the Fae are likely to get a free show.

Luckily for everyone the effects will pass in a few hours’ time as long as you get away from the flowers. Unluckily for everyone, you don’t build up a resistance to the effects, so second and third exposures will have the same effect as the first. Also, multiple flowers can affect someone at the same time. Hopefully you aren’t gifted an unfortunate bouquet.

☙ Kelpies, Kelpies, All Around! ☙

The Fae in the village are hurried around this time of year, openly talking of Kelpie mating season. There are open warnings to stay away from any body of water, whether it be the lake or the various streams in the forest.

Upon asking any of the village denizens, they'll tell you the tale of the kelpie, a beautiful and powerful black horse that preys on anyone it encounters. They seek companionship, in either form. In its equine form, the kelpie is able to extend the length of its back to carry many riders into the depths. In human form, they lure their victims into the water to devour them, then throw the entrails to the water's edge.

The kelpies are solitary creatures, able to transform into human figures. The only distinction is that they usually have water weeds in their hair. Traditionally, Kelpies keep to a male form, but are known to revert to a female one as well. A telltale sign a horse is a kelpie is that their hooves are backwards.

The villagers tell you that it's your job to keep them away from the village so everyone stays safe. It's an honor to be chosen for this because of how dangerous it is. There are several ways to do this - you can try to outright kill them. They have a weakness to silver and iron, the villagers say. The second way is to gain control of the kelpie's bridle while in equine form. It's a risky maneuver, but on rare occasions you can instruct it to go back to where it came from. Or put it to work.

The villagers mostly tell you to beware. They've lost too many to the mating season.

☙ Mirror Network ☙

The mirror plays its cheerful and difficult to ignore chime, flashing to let you know that you’ve received a message. Everyone has. And it’s not going to stop until you give it a look.

When you do, the face in the mirror belongs to a woman, eerily beautiful in the way the fae seem so talented at. Her hair is dark, skin fair but looking faintly sun kissed, cheeks flushed and full of life. Her eyes seem to shift, blue to green to gray to darker, to an impossible violet and pink and green and back again. This is the face of the Summer Queen, greeting her Handmaiden’s guests as Spring has finally arrived.

“Winter is ending, and all the secrets hidden by the snow are starting to be known. Tell me a secret, my dear? Share with me something you keep in your deepest heart?”

Her voice is gentle and musical, lulling, as if you can trust everything and anything she says. Of course you can. And why would you possibly refuse her request? Unless you muster up an impressive amount of willpower to resist the magical charm being cast upon you, you will find yourself compelled to reply, to share some unspoken secret with the woman in the mirror.

Sadly, your reply will be broadcast to the entire mirror network and shared with everyone. Oops. But hey, what better way to make new friends than a speed run to vulnerability and intimacy? Happy Spring!

Snow Villiers | Final Fantasy 13 Trilogy | Current Player

[heroofcocoon]

Arrival

[After the Handmaiden leaves, Snow takes a look at the people around and checks them for any signs of problems. He walks over to the nearest person, hands up to show that he doesn't mean any harm.]

Hey, you okay? [He probably looks pretty intimidating, but he's trying to be less of a standoffish jerk, so there's that.] Do you need someone to give you the run down of how this place works? Did you go into the forest by the path?

Clovers, Clovers, Everywhere

[Well, these little green fae seem to be less annoying than the ones running around with the branches a bit ago or the faery monkeys at the hot springs. While he wouldn't say that he knows anything about plants besides flowers are great gifts for Serah and plant monsters are vulnerable to fire magic, he can search in the new greenery for a few flower leaves.

He picks a few of them and holds them out to the person next to him.]

Alright, what's the difference between a shamrock and all of these? I... I can't tell, to be honest.

[Please take pity on this giant, pathetic man.]

Bloooooooms~

[So, there are so many flowers and he wants to pick some for Serah. It's been a while since he's been able to surprise him and things have been a little quiet since they both arrived but nothing has been said.

As such, it's kind of hard to miss the tall guy in all black in the middle of a field of white and yellow daffodils, bent over and the sound of almost hysterical laughter shaking his frame.]

I... h-haha... was just... hehe... looking for some flower. HAHAHAHAHA!

Mirror Message UN: S.Villiers

[Snow wastes no time trying to respond to the woman asking such personal questions.]

You really think we're going to tell you anything about us after you brought us here and stripped most of us from any sort of powers and weapons we might have? This place is a death trap. You might as well have tossed us to the monsters and pulled out some popcorn!

Wildcard
[OOC: Do you want to do something else? Please reach out to me via PM or on Plurk at nothlir and we can discuss anything. Or if you have an idea, go for it!]

Mirror

[unwisely]

That's right, you tell her!

[Willow drawls out the words in earnest encouragement.]

Though death, in my experience, seems a bit temporary here.

[The first thing Will did when he arrived here was throw himself headlong off the path and had a small incident with dying. But he got better.]

Which is unsettling, honestly. The whole place is unsettling. But I've got a bit of history with the fae... [Well. He thinks that anyway. HE HAS NO IDEA OF THE ACTUAL TRUTH YET.]

[heroofcocoon]

Doubt it does anything, but thanks.

[Snow is so fucking tired of all of this bullshit, but he doesn't blame the other people trapped here with him. It's not like any of them asked to be kidnapped by "mysterious" and powerful beings.]

I agree this whole place is unsettling. More than enough of it is illusion meant to screw with our heads.

[He hasn't died. Yet. Which is.... good? Maybe.]

[unwisely]

Maybe not, but sometimes it feels better to let it out. Scream, yell, put it in song.

[He's a bard. He has some opinions on this.]

It does feel like we're being deliberately toyed with. But that's the nature of the fey generally.

[He's biased in the worst way]

Wildcard! Kelpies- let's get this FF party started! Let's see, monk, paladin...? Idfk!

[chosenkingoflucis]

"Take out the kelpies, huh?" He muses. Seems simple enough. Should be easy as pie, if Iggy's baking it-

-or would be, if Noctis could still warp, use magic, and summon the royal arms.

As of now, he's managed to procure a sword, which is a good start, though it's only marginally better than one of the practice swords he used during his early training sessions with Gladio. At least this one seems to be made of metal.

Noctis stands casually on the sandy beach, one hand on his hip as his gaze sweeps over the ocean for the intended target, while the other holds onto the handle of the blade stabbed into the ground.

Except it's not the sea he should have been looking at, as without warning, the sound of hooves beating across the sand echoes from the rear.

That training is about to come in handy real soon.

He only just manages to dodge, coming up out of a roll on one knee, before the creature's jaw snaps closed exactly where he had been seconds earlier. A feint to the side and he's got the weapon back in hand, falls back, and braces for the assault.

Shaking its head with a seaweed twined mane, flying like some demonic standard in the salty breeze, its nostrils flare, as the beast paws at the sand with one if its weird, backwards hooves. It looks pretty pissed at missing out on its easy meal.

Luckily, Noctis is skilled in combat with or without his warping ability, and can still rely on his natural speed and agility. He never thought he'd be more thankful for being drilled over and over, day in and day out. He moves on instinct, not doing too bad, all things considered.

What he lacks is Gladio's physical strength, Ignis' strategy, and Prompto's... morale?

Anyway, he really wishes the others were here, as the kelpie charges once more; teeth bared and a deadly look in its eye.

"Shit!" He swears, gritting his own teeth as the kelpie plows into him, pushing him back about five feet.

Noctis managed to bring his blade up just in time to keep those wicked looking jaws from crushing his head. He holds the monster at bay; the sword wedged in its mouth the only thing between him, it's jagged teeth, and about a half-dozen new air holes.

You can't fault him though, how often does he rush off alone, to do something stupid and reckless back home? It's not like Iggy's around to scold him, or Gladio to tell him off.

If there's one thing Noctis is known for, its diving face first into danger when people's lives are at stake. Does he regret getting roped into this? That's a question for future Noctis.

But it probably depends on if he escapes with his royal-hind-ass in one piece.

"Sure wouldn't say no to a little help right about now."

[Wow... that got... longer than intended...]

Wouldn't say no to a White or Red Mage though...

[heroofcocoon]

Snow has been reluctant to come to the lake since the incident with the fairies with their stuffed wren dolls beating people with holly branches. Sure, the races were exciting to watch, and he's sure that Twinkle whatever is happy to be able to brag for the next cycle of seasons about the fact that they won and the rest are losers. (It was annoying to listen to the pixie for the next week until the kelpie it rode in the race threatened to eat it.)

However, it's getting really warm and he wants to see if there's an area where everyone can safely go swimming without dealing with the horse-like faeries of this realm. What he didn't expect was to spot someone trying to fight the creatures they'd all be warned to stay away from. The guy has a sword, but with it not being made of iron or steel, the silver weapon isn't all that effective. Except to make so the horse doesn't try to turn him into kelpie-chow.

With a bit of a growl, Snow rolls up his sleeves and runs forward, full-tilt, before punching the kelpie right in the snout. "Couldn't have picked a different place to show off? Pretty sure this isn't how you get a guy to notice you, horse."

[chosenkingoflucis]

Noctis doesn't expect a huge dude to just run in and let his fists fly. Not that he's complaining, too much. He'll snark about that first part later. For now? Mad respect there, man.

"Thanks for the assist, big guy!" He expresses as he leaps back into an offensive stance. "Gimme a boost!"

Maybe if he comes at it from above? He can't warp to it, but this guy looks about as strong as Gladio. They just might be able to kill it.

[heroofcocoon]

"Name's Snow," he shouts as he does a combo with his fists and feet that pushes their enemy back enough that he can take stock of what's going on.

The smaller man definitely knows what he's doing in a fight and is moving a bit like Lightning. At another time, that thought would have irritated him, but he's actually had less trouble with people and giving them all a common antagonist has helped him to focus his ire.

"Yeah." He cups his hands up for Noctis to step into. It'll be nothing to launch him high enough in the air so that he can go back to knocking some sense into the kelpie. "I'll keep it busy. Just watch out for the hair in the mane too."

Not sure how long you want the fight portion to go on... or if you want it to go sideways?

[chosenkingoflucis]

"Noct." He replies over the sounds of the skirmish. "Unless you wanna call me 'king of fishing.' 'Cuz that's exactly what I'm gonna do after we're done with clean up duty." he flashes a cocky grin. "Either way, we got this!"

Going more for the kelpie's underbelly when Snow distracts it. He tries an upward stab at where the creature's heart should be, but doesn't stick around long enough to get trampled. Also, he keeps an eye on the other man, because there's no way Noctis is gonna let someone get injured, or worse, on his account. Not again. And it's not like he can really use magic to make potions from soda. Do they even have soda here? Not to mention, do they really want to find out what the fey consider 'healing?'

"You're not half bad. Actually, you kinda remind me of someone."

With how much banter Noctis and the others have during their battles back home, he has no problems fighting and making conversation at the same time. As he slides out from the monster's other side, he gets to his feet in a mid-dash so he can follow through with his idea.

-And Iggy's not even here to witness the majesty of it.

In one swift movement, Noctis plants a booted foot into the other man's linked hands and uses the momentum from the launch to leap even higher. To Snow, Noctis probably feels light as a feather, but Noctis won't hesitate to snap at him should he call attention to it; new ally or no. Not like he wouldn't do the same to his own Crownsguard.

Once airborne, he executes a mid-air flip, back towards the kelpie's head, with his blade in the lead and aims straight for its eye.

[heroofcocoon]

"There's a safer pond on the other side of the village if you're up for fishing. The lake is where most of the kelpies live and play. It's why everyone's been warned away from it."

Snow's okay with the fighting. It gives him some room to stretch and get out his anger. And after years of fighting with the likes of Lightning, Noel and even Fang once upon a time, he's good with rolling out of the way of swords flashing over his head.

"Yeah, you remind me of someone too." More like Noel than Lightning with the way he can't help but move his mouth in a fight. Not that Snow minds it. He misses the loudmouth.

After he launches the younger man into the air, Snow moves as quick as he can to get out of the way, but it's not fast enough for the Kelpie's teeth as they sink into his forearm. He lets out a pained grunt, biting back everything as the blood starts to soak the sleeve of his jacket. "Serah's gonna kill me for this."

CW: EYE INJURY! (Not graphic) Let me know if you'd rather I take it out before you read all the way!

[chosenkingoflucis]

"And that's why I'm here." He comments dryly in response to the, 'everyone's been warned away.'

"Someone's gotta take 'em out before they decide to pick on the villagers who can't defend themselves!" Noctis continues shouting as the both of them skirt around the kelpie. "So I appreciate the help."

Heh, if he knew Snow thought he was bad about running his mouth in battle, the guy should hear Prompto, or Gladio. Next to Ignis, Noct is on the quieter side. Most of the times he speaks to 'humbly' shrug off compliments on his fighting prowess, or if the opportunity for a good zing presents itself. He'll say nothing of the amount of yelling he does while attacking though. What? When you're slashing a daemon apart, you gotta sound like you mean it!

He kinda misses all that right about now.

Ducking when the creature bucks, Noctis has one more thing to add before he gets the idea for an aerial assault. "Just don't go dying on me!"

Noctis' blade strikes true, as he plunges; sort of. Because as the kelpie gets a taste of Snow's flesh, Noctis has to change trajectory, only managing to gouge the eye out instead of the intended killing blow, in favor of landing on the beast's back.

"Son of a bitch!"

What did he just say?

Noctis swears on his honor as king, that if this guy dies he will personlly make his way to the beyond just to boot Snow's ass back to the world of the living, so, Serah, whoever she is, can kill him again! See what I did there? Noctis has absolutely no idea!

Noctis growls through clenched teeth as he hacks at the creature's mane. In doing so, he spots the braide seaweed bridle.

Snow is damn lucky Noctis was born a prince. If he was any ordinary Crown citizen, odds are he wouldn't know how to ride a horse; much less do so bareback.

Remember that recklessness Noctis is always being scolded for? Yeah, he's about to do something reckless.

And pray to the Six that it actually works!

Before he can chicken out, Noctis tosses the sword, reaches for the kelpie's bridle, and does his damndest to gain control of the daemon-like horse.

This is no royal mare though, the kelpie testing every skill Noctis has learned since he recovered from the Marilith attack and could learn to ride.

"C'mon, you stupid horse! Submit!"

As if he had invoked the power of the past Kings, themselves, the beast obeys the command, suddenly calming as it releases Snow and snorts harmlessly.

Noctis blinks, mouth falling slightly agape in shock.

"It worked? It worked!"

Ok but now what does he do?

[[OOC: So does Noctis get a one-eyed pet kelpie now? Lol!]]

[heroofcocoon]

"You mean someone's gotta be stupid." He knows this pretty well, but the stupid place is generally where he is.

Okay, so part of the place is still reserved for him, since he's definitely going back to Serah with some blood loss and a huge bite on his arm. And them without any magic. However, him being a snack helps the chatty Kathy to get the Kelpie's bridle enough to tame it.

"Great, now you have a horny water horse. Good luck with that." Who in hell thought this was a good idea and how does he lodge a complaint to those in charge?

[chosenkingoflucis]

Stupid, reckless, irresponsible, yeah, he's heard it all. So he just rolls his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah."

Who knows, maybe it'll be some kind of messed up bonding ritual.

"Because that's what I wanted to take away from this experience." He replies sarcastically in response to the comment about his new 'pet.'

However, now that the kelpie is tamed, Noctis dismounts, landing in a crouch, and rushes to Snow's side; coming to a skidding halt on his knees next to the larger man. Only then does Noctis get a good look at the wound and he sucks in a shocked breath at the extent of it.

"Damm, that's bad."

He would like to file a complaint as well. Actually, nevermind, he'll just give whoever's in charge a piece of his mind, screw formalities.

If he had his own magic, maybe he could do something about that injury too!

At least Gladio taught him some wilderness survival skills, which included a little first aid. Unfortunately, the fae took those supplies as well. So he'd have to make due.

Removing his jacket, he surveys the bite. It doesn't look broken, but that bleeding needs to be stopped.

"Give me your arm." Noctis requests, offering his jacket as a makeshift bandage/tourniquet. His tone might sound a bit demanding to Snow, but don't worry big guy, he's just Like This.

In any case, they can't stay here. Snow needs medical attention, fast. Noctis looks from Snow to the kelpie then back to Snow.

"I think my horny water horse might actually come in handy to get you back to town before you end up passed out on your ass from blood loss." Noctis points out with a little sass.

Standing, he dusts himself off and holds out a hand to help Snow up. "'Think you can get on?"

[heroofcocoon]

Snow snatches back his arm, stripping off his jacket and wrapping it around his arm to stop the bleeding.

"Don't. Touch. Me." He still trusts very few people here, and with good reason. No one's really earned his trust. And it's not like this is the first time he's been harmed, if the scars and bullet holes riddling his chest is any indication. "There are healers in the village. I know a few I can ask without getting on the back of your new friend."

He can't keep the irritation out of his face and voice. "Keep a hold of that bridle or you'll be its next meal."

[chosenkingoflucis]

At the sudden hostility, Noctis holds up his hands placatingly.

"Alright, alright. I get it." He then calmly gets to his feet, steps back and takes up the kelpie's bridle again, circling the beast around to give the big guy some space.

It's not a lie. Noctis does get it. He doesn't like to be touched by people either, save a select few, and he doesn't blame Snow for not trusting him. Honestly, if his retinue knew he was here, they would be telling him he should be the same way; cautious of others until they prove they can be trusted.

Especially in light of recent events.

"I'll stick with you until you make it back to the village safely." His own tone seems a little disappointed; even a little discouraged with his reply. Was he actually hoping to make friends with this guy?

Maybe.

Noctis has been feeling rather alone as of late. Who would have thought the unsociable, bored and disinterested teen that he used to be would actually crave social interaction only a few years later. He must have just gotten used to being around the guys all the time.

No helping it though.

"It's the least I can do... since you took one for me."

Pursing his lips, he falls silent, mind wandering back to the moment when, upon waking, he learned of Luna's passing and of the 'small sacrifice in the greater battle,' that Iggy had made.

"In any case, I owe you one." A pause as he remembers the mirrors. "So if you ever need anything, call me on your mirror and I got your back."

Clovers

[mooglebow]

[Ah, destiny, etc. Of course they'd be here together, even if it's accidental. With clovers in her face and Snow now looking at her, she grins and chuckles a little.]

They're the four-leaf ones that are shamrocks. The ones that are supposed to be 'good luck.' The others are just... cute!

[heroofcocoon]

[He's trying to be more friendly with the others. It's not exactly easy for him to fall back into that laidback guy he used to be, not without Lightning there to finish punching some sense into his head. But that smile lights up her face and Snow is a sucker for her. He breaks out into a grin to match hers.]

I mean, I'm already experiencing good luck right now. You're here. So, should we look for the four-leaf ones or just gather up a whole bunch and give them over to the little green guys?

[mooglebow]

I dunno, how good is your sight? You'd have to be eagle-eyed to spot a needle in a haystack, I think.

[Not to say she won't look, she'll definitely try! She's ~an overachiever~ anyway, so she can at least look.]

If you take everything and we end up having to keep them all... that's a lot to try to make into tea or food for us. But we can look and maybe we'll get lucky! Well, in your case, you'll just be luckier if I'm here. [Yes, she caught that she was his Lady Luck :')]

[heroofcocoon]

I've never had any issues with my eyesight, Serah.

[There've been jokes about her eyesight in regards to her being with him. Sanity too. He's always shut them down pretty quickly, but he couldn't keep Gadot from running his mouth all the time.

As she mentions the needle in a haystack, he can't help but chuckle.]

You know, if we get too many, we can just pawn them off on some of the other people here. I don't think everyone is participating in this activity. Besides, maybe Hinata likes clover tea?

[mooglebow]

Hmm. [There's a very, VERY teasing smile on her lips as she hmms to herself over that.] I dunno, once you start punching sometimes...

[Tunnel vision can be a bitch. But she jests, mostly. She still remembers Sunleth far in the future and Snow just throwing himself at that big ol' flan.]

Maybe, but I doubt that's all we'd want to drink either, right?

[heroofcocoon]

Hey! [He looks up at her from where he's bent over to inspects the clovers.] I never hit anyone who didn't deserve it.

[Even Noel, but he had deserved it a few times. Especially after....]

Maybe we could ask that guy with the different colored hair... I think his name is Kris... what he's doing with all his clovers. Saw him with a bunch of them earlier.
