marcille: elven magician

MARCILLE DONATO from DUNGEON MESHI I don't want to eat anymore monsters! Enough already! affiliated with isolaradiale

It surprises them, really. The blurting of Marcille's answer and then when she begins to ramble in that sweet and cute way that she does, Indigo can't contain it and bursts out laughing. "You answered in SUCH a you way, it's lovely." They didn't need a romance book kind of reply. Not from Marcille of course. Never.

"I do want to spend the rest of our time here together." They say, voice softening. If worse came to worse and one of them left with no memories of their time together, Indigo at least hoped that something would remind them that there was someone who was deeply and madly in love with the other. Marcille was their sun. Nothing was going to change that.

"I love you Marcille Donato." And with that, they slide that ring right around Marcille's finger.

[elfcast]

✲ "I-I'd hope I'd answer in a me way!" Having her outburst pointed out to her had just made Marcille shy again, and so she went a little quiet. This gave Indigo a chance to say what they wanted to say. Her face was burning red and she was having a little trouble breathing. Not in a million years did she think she'd be proposed to!

"I love you too! And hey, its exactly my size!" The ring had slid on perfectly. But Marcille, being Marcille, suddenly realized something important. She jumped up and threw her arms around Indigo's neck so that she could whisper what had occurred to her into their ear. "We should start figuring out the ceremony right away! There are so many little details to iron out!"

For the detail oriented Marcille, a big event was like a dream come true when it came to planning and organizing.

[houndvoice]

[ilsecng]

It was part of the plan, wasn't it? To get her caught off guard, MAINLY because they were nervous. The way Marcille reacted would ease that nerve and have them laughing. Not at Marcille, but by the wash of nerve rolling off their shoulders as well as just how sweet Marcille is.

Too cute, really.

They weren't in any rush and Marcille knew that. Whichever she'd say, Indigo would follow her lead.

"I know it's probably not the best thing to do, considering the place we're stuck in, but you know...," They shrug, "I don't know. I felt this was right for me to do."

✲ Marriage wasn't really something Marcille had thought too much about. There was always that risk that she'd be returned home, and she knew from interacting with her friends who had come and gone over and over that memories weren't always preserved. It added a layer of uncertainty to things that she did think of now and again.

She'd also never really expected Indigo to ask. They were so free spirited that sometimes she worried she was just tying them down when they might not have wanted to be.

"YES!" Her response was blurted out to eagerly that it taken her off guard. She hadn't thought through the answer at all, it just kind of came naturally. "I mean... I guess there's some things that make it complicated. But! If you want to spend the rest of our time here together, then I do! Or, um... how do you say yes to a proposal? I'd love to? Why is it NOW I can't remember how things go in romance books!?"

✲ "Do you... need one of these? If you don't know how to practice magic they probably won't do you very much good." Once a week Marcille made a point to visit one of the city's libraries to read in peace. She was a practiced mage and couldn't use magic she hadn't been returned, so any spells jotted down wouldn't do her any good. But she was also studious and liked to expand her understanding.

The concept of how other world wielded magic was fascinating to her if anything.

Was he a mage? She couldn't really tell. "You can take from the pile on the left, I've read those. I'm still working through the right side though."

✲ "Uh..." Marcille had been wondering what had been making noise outside of her forest home so late at night. Indigo and herself didn't get many visitors at their Cotes personal forest housing unless there were fairies or whatever playing pranks. That wasn't the case.

Unless they'd learned how to shapeshift into a human-sized girl.

"You weren't planning on picking some of my crops, were you? This isn't all here to help yourself. I live here!" Since she was standing near the garden and she'd had problems with thieves stealing her produce before, this was where her mind had gone first.

[elfcast]

I had to dust off my Arknights account but worth...

[elfcast]

i've been slacking here a bit and need new stuff so like this for a starter!

[elfcast]

✲ "Why do people keep saying my last name is "Italian"? I get that it's a place in another world, but I've never even been there before! Good spaghetti though..."

[ilsecng]

Smiling, they inhale the smell of the lovely cookies. Mmm, they smell good.

"By the way, you look stunning." Not that Marcille ACTUALLY needed them to tell her that. She was always beautiful.

An earring would probably be best. And if Marcille wanted to get her ears pierced, it was perfect. The ears were the first step, after all. "We can decide after you open up the emblem. It's one of those clasp kinds that you open." If they're nervous, they're not showing it! but inside that family emblem, there's a ring.

Stepping forward, and placing their gift from Marcille down on the table carefully, they grab hold of their partner's hand.

"Wanna marry me?"

What a way to ask. They're definitely not all that traditional, are they?

[elfcast]

✲ "Hehe... Its funny, because elves are pretty mean. I think I look good too, but just being half-blooded would probably get plenty of them to scowl at me. There are exceptions, but..." Elven culture was pretty mean! Not that she really had to worry about that here. The city aside, she was in Indigo's presence. One of the safest places in the world to her. "But what about you? You look so handsome! I mean..."

She trailed off. She didn't really have a choice in the matter when Indigo grabbed onto her hand, held out a ring, and... "...Eh?" It had been so sudden that she hadn't expected it at all. The idea of getting married hadn't even crossed her mind, not because she didn't want to but because she'd never considered it being possible in the city.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!?"

...She was going to need a second. But Indigo knew her well enough to hopefully know it wasn't a bad sign, it was just that her brain had short circuited.

[elfcast]

"Surprise and happy Valentine's day, babe!" Indigo is dressed very nicely. Sporting a red tuxedo with white hearts on them and some black dress pants. The lights are off at their home, but the candles are lit, creating an ambience and romantic feel to it. The table is larger than usual and there's a wide variety spread of different food. All of which are Marcille's favorite! No monster meat involved. There's a flower centerpiece placed at the center of the table as well as a Decent sized box. In the box, marcille will find an assortment of different chocolates and in the center, a smaller box. A necklace with a charm on it. It's Indigo's family emblem.

What does it mean?

✲ "Oh!? Is it Valentine's Day!?" Marcille lied through her teeth. She obviously knew what day it was, but she had also been preparing things in secret. She had actually gotten all prettied up in an elven dress, but she hadn't expected all of the mood lighten and for Indigo to also have gotten dressed up. Her own lie was transparent, namely because she never dressed up for no good reason. She'd even done her hair up in a braided bun!

She opened the box and checked out the chocolates, and then the necklace underneath. "Oh! It's so cute! But what does this charm mean, exactly?"

Marcille offered them a box of her own. Inside was a dozen cookies she had baked herself, along with a note. "Oh, that's an IOU. Don't think I'm cheap, but I wanted to get you a earring or a navel ring or... something! I just wasn't sure what you'd like more, and I wanted to pick it out together!"

@cladinivcry

[ilsecng]

Something believable and yet wasn't true or vice versa. It was the route Indigo took and witnessing Marcille pick and decide which makes them smile.

"A magical process, huh? Ya think I'm magical then." Still, they nod to reveal the truth for that one, "Yep! And my community is a small one. Compared to the other creatures out there, we're the smallest!"

[elfcast]

✲ "Well, yeah? You've told me you were a djinn before, and we even swapped bodies that one time! Djinn are magic beings, right?" She knew they granted wishes, though she hoped they didn't do it in the same way that a certain other wish granter she knew from back home did. "Okay! My turn! Which of these three is true?"

"One. When I was in my twenties, I was still a child. Two. My mom is a lady of the court. Three. I've known Laios since I was little."

[feathercowl-deactivated20260413]

"Marcille!" Her shout is in part ecstatic and in part confusion as the familiar voice and familiar weight descend upon her. She does, however, automatically wrap her arms around her best friend and spin her around, letting her fall back to her feet at her own pace.

"Really? Oh! I'm great, nobody hurt me, and who are the Stars?" She tries to answer Marcille's questions as they come, but she was never that great at tests or surprise quizzes.

"Mm! I don't really care, though, about the Stars. I get to explore this new place, and now you're here too!" Of course, she missed the others, but she got to live with everyone when she went back home.

So, for now, she could be excited about this new adventure!

[elfcast]

✲ Falin being a dash of familiarity was honestly something that Marcille had desperately needed. She was happy in the city, and happy with Indigo, but it had been so long since she had seen anyone from home that she'd been a little homesick lately. "Who are the Stars!? They're the ones who brought us here! ...Did you not read the pamphlet?" Well, that felt on par for the course for Falin, really.

There was a lot to take in when you first came to the city, she couldn't really blame her. It was overwhelming even for the half-elf.

She'd said all this while being spun, and ended up nearly tripping over her own two feet before stabilizing herself again. Falin wanted to explore? Well, she was like her brother. "The island isn't that big, but there's a lot to see. You can even go up into the stars! If you ever want to go somewhere and need a guide... Hehehe... I'm pretty well acquainted with this place now!"

[elfcast]

@feathercowl

✲ Once. Twice. Three times. Marcille rubbed at her eyes like she was certain she had something in them. She didn't, and what she was looking at was real. It was really her? It couldn't be! "FALIIIIIIN!" She hadn't seen someone from home in a really long time now, and it was usually just Laios when someone did show up. No offense to Laios.

There was no pause in the half-elf's behaviour as she threw herself into the cleric's arms pretty suddenly.

"I'm so happy! Its been a long time since I've seen anyone from our group, much less anyone from the island! How are you? Are you okay? No one hurt you, did they? I'll punch the Stars if they did!"

grocery trip! 🛒

[hewillnevervisit]

"I am called the Librarian. That does not mean you are to come to me for book recommendations, especially not ones for base, flavorless fluff such as paperback romance books about enemies to lovers."

[elfcast]

✲ Why was she raising her hand? "Who are you to determine what's flavourless, huh? Reading and writing are subjective! Just calling yourself "the Librarian", which sounds like you made it up to be rude honestly, doesn't mean you can trash the writing of others!" Here we have an elf that is an avid reader of bad romance stories.

[ilsecng]

"Pfft! You fell for my trap!" There were no traps, though, but it was funny, wasn't it? Indigo nodded when the answer was revealed and empathically said, "I'm sure that wasn't really easy." It was still something they struggled with.

"Let's see," they follow along with Marcille's flow.

"Man, how did you come up with something on the spot?" This is a lot trickier than intended!

"I was born in a tiny community. I was made by fire And my mom taught me how to cook."

[elfcast]

✲ "That didn't feel like a trap." Marcille was quick to call them on it but let it slide in the end. "But just pick things that would be difficult to tell what's true or not, I guess? Either things that would all be easy to believe, or things that all feel unbelievable even if one is true?"

Indigo's own three things fell into the latter category. They sounded simple yet strange, but all plausible for a Djinn. "I think the real thing is being made by fire! That sounds like a magical process."
