Wizardess Heart Plus: The Performing Festival

Yes, we named our player character Domon Kasshu (from G Gundam)

[isthatwhatipick]

Has anyone else come to the same conclusion? That practically all of the Voltage CGs would look so much better with out the MC in them... like the the ones that already don’t have her look so much better, imo.

Plan Unraveled

Oh, hey look! There is more, this is like the next part to my previous story Thinking parts 1 and 2, is it fluff? Yes, I think so... Oh! Also on AO3

-

Elias was so close to Luca that he could feel the others breath whispering over his lips. His heart beat wildly, the nerves nestled in his throat making it hard to swallow. The intoxicating scent of Luca's cologne filling his nose making it hard to breathe. He desperately wanted to run away, but part of him did not. He planned this, he worked so hard to get his courage up to do this there was no way he was going to back down now.

Luca watched him, face impassive. A curious gleam in his eye, watching, waiting, and yet not pushing away like he always would have before.

Elias looked up into those deep pools of green. His heart thudded fast and painful in his chest.

Elias took a breath, forced it, leaning forward eyes scrunching closed he pressed his lips to Luca's slightly parted ones. Softly, a gentle, innocent kiss.

He pulled back eyes fluttering open to see Luca, unchanged. His face still blank. Elias recoiled, stepping back. He didn't say anything, what was there to say? His bottom lips fell under his teeth as he fought back tears. He thought...he thought... well, he wasn't sure what he thought but he didn't think that this would be the result. Elias turned to run.

Arms wrapped around his waist pulling him back. Luca's hands clasped tightly around him, so tight his knuckles were white. Elias felt Luca's forehead press to the base of his neck one strangled word reaching his ears. "Wait."

Elias flailed slightly not sure what to do, this was beyond the plan. He hadn't thought that far ahead. His heart beat so fast and so loudly he was sure Luca could hear it, his chest was tight his breathing hitched. He didn't know what to do with his hands. Finally he settled his hands to rest on Luca's lightly.

They stayed like that for what felt like hours but could very well have been minutes or even just seconds.

"You finally figured it out?" Luca spoke a slight laugh tinting his voice. Elias nodded, his words lost to him. Luca laughed softly at first but growing in volume. His arms tightened pulling Elias closer his cheek moving to rest on Elias' shoulder. Elias felt a dampness on his skin, slightly chaffing his shoulder. Luca was crying. The laugh was almost hysterical now but quieter. "Why? Why did you take so long?"

"I'm sorry, I-I d-didn't mean to." Elias said his fingers gripping at the ones beneath them. His face burning bright red. He felt Luca shift again, and twisted a little to look at him. His hair was as casually mussed and perfect as ever but there was laughter back on his face, and a shine at his eyes. Elias reached up and gently wiped away his tears making Luca flush faintly.

Lessening his hold Luca straightened allowing Elias to turn and face him fully in the circle of his arms. Elias unsure of where to put them placed his hands lightly on Luca's chest. And they looked at each other, cheeks red, and smiles shy but delighted.

They simply stood there basking in the revelation.

"Can I say it?" Luca asked faintly in the jubilant bubble of their happiness. Elias nodded his cheeks flaming ever brighter. "You're so cute~"

"Shut Up! I am not!" Elias blustered loudly in response, his face on fire feeling as though it had gotten even redder if that was possible.

"Oh Hush, I was teasing you." Luca admonished lightly rubbing the tip of his nose against the other boy's, Elias's whole face flushed all the way to the tips of his ears, Luca could get used to this adorable side of the blond. "Just-" He paused looking at Elias, making sure the other's violet eyes looked back. "Thank you, Elias."

Elias peered at him still embarrassed but more curious his eyebrows furrowed in a way Luca thought was so enticing, his head tilted to the left causing blond fringe to fall into his curious and beautiful eyes. Luca unwrapped one arm to brush it away, his fingers brushing the hair away before lingering little touches on the Elias's bright cheek, who unconsciously leaned into the pressure.

Luca closed the distance between them his lips hovering a mere hairs breadth away from Elias's trembling lips. Their eyes met and it was as if the world made sense, the understanding and the emotions that filled the space between them could have filled an ocean, but filled their hearts instead. And as sappy and romantic as that is, it was the truth. Little smiles lit their lips only to be washed away by their kisses. Sweet and perfect, just the way Elias had thought it would be.

Breaking apart, both panting slightly Luca's cheeks pleasantly pink to Elias's bright red. Luca's thumb brushed over the crest of Elias' cheek, the words falling from his lips before he even knew it but he wouldn't dream of taking them back. "I love you, my Prince"

Elias slapped his chest frowning ready to defend the royal family when Luca grinned that carefree devil-may-care grin which melted Elias' knees. The old lightness of Luca was back and it made Elias more relieved than is expressible by words. He wrapped his arms up around Luca's neck, his finger twining in green hair. Luca took the hint and kissed him again.

"I love you too."

Walkthroughs

I am a big fan of using walkthroughs and I have found some really get places to find them. I want to post these so other people (i.e. you) can find the same help if you want it.

Shall We Date? Games: WordNerdMemoir is the best place I have found and they are always great about the walkthroughs and usually have them up five chapters further than where I am. Always on point!

Voltage:

I have many different place for these since I play both paid and party versions I tend to jump around having found many favorite sites such as: Otomeios, Otomeotakugirl, BloomingSumire, and Yumedesuka.

I also use BlahBidyBlah but this one has so many walkthroughs, for more than just Voltage or Shall We Date? a fantastic resource.

NEW Shall We Date? Game

NTT Solmare Shall We Date? has just released another game (well its been a few days now, but still) It is called Oz+ based off the traditional story of the wizard of Oz, only now Dorothy has gone back to the magical land for her birthday celebration. Except now her friends have been turned human (and very attractive) as well as Oz and the Witch of the West being back from the dead and now mysteriously a man with a ridiculously deep v neck and an eye patch (but hey! Lets throw canon to the wind. Why not?)

We now have Crowlie, the Scarecrow, now King of the Emerald City ruling fairly with his new brain.

And Leonardo, the Cowardly Lion, King of the Old Forest protecting his land with his courage.

Lastly (but not least) Heartmann, the Tin Man, who was made ruler of the Winkies, ruling with his big heart. 

There are also the Wizards Solomon and Norton of the North and South, just what does the Crafty Solomon have planned? And Why is he making you pick a boyfriend? Who will you choose?

Thinking 2/2

part two (dun dun dunnnnnn) also on AO3

Elias sat in the library staring blankly at the open text in front of him. He didn't get it. Why Luca would willingly participate in that. Why wouldn't Azusa back off. Just what was happening here?

What did Azusa mean?

Elias dropped his face to the desk pressing it into the book breathing in the calming smell of its old parchment and ink. It did little calming however. Elias' heart thundered in his chest as his thoughts whirled and collided, circled around an lead back to one question.

Why do I feel like this?  

One hand rose to grip at his chest, curling into the fabrics of his uniform. The hard beating of his heart could be felt through his fingers. Elias made a noise in the back of his throat. Disparaging himself. Why would Azusa say something like that? He didn't even like Luca, He hated Luca, didn't he? No. No, that wasn't quite true anymore. Things had changed recently.  

That night he caught them a pain lanced his heart. An indescribable, unwanted feeling. That night back in his room, he lay awake for hours thinking. Thinking but not understanding. Feeling and hurting but not understanding.

For a while now, his heart had done funny acrobatics when confronted with Luca. A strange feeling rising in him at the thought Luca might be in class. When the new girl showed up Luca went out of his way to appear each morning, Elias' heart leaped. No, it didn't, Elias shook his head trying to dislodge the thought. And it certainly didn't hurt when Luca lavished his attention on the girl, and not on Elias like he always had before. These strange feelings...

Elias sat back in his chair with a loud groan, startling as he remembered where he was even though alone. He didn't get shush but the sound of his groan seemed to echo in his ears in the absolute silence of the Library.  

The clock chimed the hour startling Elias, had that much time really passed as he waffled his thoughts? Rushing he bundled up his books and hurried out of the library.

Elias approached the door, to the boys dorm at a hurried walk the deeply darkening sky stealing away the light and letting all know that curfew was almost there. He waved his wand muttering the unlocking incantation to slip inside before he got caught being tardy when a movement caught his attention from the side of his eye. A flash of green?

Luca appeared from the darkness with the suddeness of a ghostly apparition, sending shockwaves into Elias' heart. The Older boy was adjusting his cloak, his ridiculously gaping shirt stretched wide open with the movements the few buttons struggling to hold the shirt together. Even in the dim glow of dusk Elias could see the mess of bruises peppering the others skin. The cluster on his neck was growing, it seemed another had joined the older ones. Several more were scattered across the bared expanse of his chest. Did Elias see bruises on the others angular hips as the shirt lifted with the others fingers trying to coax it back into place.  

Elias gaped hidden in the darkness having been unnoticed by the other, Luca being too distracted in his effort to right himself he had not paid attention. It was in that moment with Elias standing slack-jawed unknowable emotions in his eyes that Luca looked up gaze locking with the blond. There was a vulnerability on his elegant face for a bare moment before a hardness cast his face in shadows. The shutters closed and the real Luca was hidden. The bottom dropped out of Elias' stomach and he felt sick, as everything inside him just seemed to fall out.  

They stood there staring at one another for an eternity squeezed into a few seconds.

The soft clicking of shoes on the cobblestone pathways of the garden broke the silence moments before a tall dark figure loomed out of the black, his uniform helping him melt into the shadows of night, but those icy blue eyes so cool and calculating gleamed like evil in the dark.  

"Is there something wrong with the door?" The newcomer asked, he shrewd eyes surveying the scene.  

"I-I...uh, what?" Elias was at a loss for words, gaping now at the exchange student. Azusa just gestured to the door behind the blond  and the fact that they were standing outside. Luca broke free first striding past Elias waving his wand and disappearing inside, followed by Azusa. There was a sweep of warm golden glow as the door opened for the two other boys before the darkness resurged seeming darker now. Elias stood, lost in every sense of the word. He didn't move until the dorm father's voice rang sharply into the night, spurring his movement.  

Even then he was just going through the motions: walk inside, listen (but not really) to the rant, go to room, change clothes, get in bed, lie there awake for hours and hours. Feel his heart beat painfully as he remembered the scene knowing, just knowing, that they had been together. Luca and Azusa had been together before, that the not subtle 30 second count between their departures to make it seem like they hadn't been but in all actuality it only made it more obvious. There was an ugly feeling inside of him as he lay there not even pretending to sleep, a feeling in which he had the creeping realization that he was jealous.  

Not the he's-better-than-me-and-I-don't-like-it jealousy but the jealousy of someone who finally recognizes why they feel that way. The kind where someone now grasps what the unspeakable everything means.  

It broke over him like a wave, cleansing the confusion from every inch of his being. It washed away the nonsense, the uncertainty, the broken and whirling thoughts. The questions were answered. Elias finally understood.

Elias in that moment knew what love felt like.

Thinking 1/2

This is based on Things Unspoken and Boundaries (share the love) This is also on my AO3 here. Hope you like it. 

Thinking

As the door clicked quietly closed behind him he felt every ounce of the myriad feelings swirling so confusingly inside. The sun shone down brightly making him squint. Affecting his lackadaisical slouch Luca walked away, in a slow measured pace to appear unaffected in any way. It wasn't long before he was encompassed by the cool shade of the trees. The East Forest welcomed him. Luca didn't stop walking until everything was trees, only the hint of blue sky blocked sporadically by the leaves, the fields of the Academy left far behind. It was then he stopped.  

Luca slumped against a thick tree, the closest to where he stood, sliding down it when his legs said 'no' the rough bark scratching him through his uniform though this garnered little notice, his mind swirling and his heart aching. The place on his arm where Elias had laid his hand tingled as if his body wanted him to remember how good it felt. How good it felt, having Elias care, how it made his heart pound even though there was this whole confusing mess between them, his body betrayed his mind. It was fucked up and messy and his heart wanted it, but he knew that was never going to happen. It was Elias Goldstein for God's sake. Perfect Prince Goldstein.  

Then he remember how it had hurt when Elias' eyes fell to the bruises on his neck, the hickies ( one would not dare call them love bites, there was no love in their making) left behind by a possessive mouth nights ago on the fountain, the emotions that flashed in those purple eyes felt like a hammer to the solar plexus, painfully knocking the breath out of him. The bruises hurt, a dull little ache, easily forgotten but in that moment he felt them again more so than when they'd been made. He became consciously aware of the stolen feel of his lip from that session in the closet between classes (He'd actually attended that day) every little insecurity screaming out 'notice me' in the very way he didn't want. Luca never wanted Elias to know.  

What was he doing with Azusa? Even he wasn't so sure. In essence it was simple bodily pleasure, that essential need for contact and stimulation. There was something dark and alluring about the hinomoto native. Something intoxicating. And yet, there was repulsion. A feeling that made you want to run in the other direction. Luca felt it every time he was with the other boy. Even so, Azusa could kiss. He was good at it, and that made it easier to ignore, that feeling. Being with Azusa made it easier to ignore a lot of things.  

After all they say ignorance is bliss, but true ignorance would feel better. The time with Azusa only blocked everything for a while but when he was alone in his room late at night, he couldn't forget. Alone led to thinking too much. Too much thinking then to understanding, realize things he'd never wanted to actually know. Like feelings, or why exactly his knees felt weak when he went to take a shower and he could tell Elias had been the last because the whole room smelled of him, how his heart beat faster at only thoughts and galloped in his presence. If only he didn't think, he wouldn't know what it all meant.  

If only he didn't know how he felt.

Azusa made things simple. No, he didn't trust Azusa, that would be insane. Azusa had given him nothing to trust but the same could be said about himself, just as he'd told Elias. He was hiding the truth from everyone, even so. He knew there was something off about the other, there was a violence lurking beneath the surface. It showed itself in his actions, rough and angry but pleasurable. Not love. Luca didn't want love, not from Azusa.  

He drew his knees up to his chest, folding his arms on top, curling in on himself. Alone with his thoughts. The feelings pounding in his chest. Thinking too much. Feeling too much. Hurting too much.  

-

Cool fingers slipped like water over Luca's shoulder startling him. He jolted up snapping his head into the tree with a solid thunk that ached. His green eyes met the cold ice blue gaze above him.  

"Have you been waiting long?" Azusa Kuze asked pulling back his hand. He watched as Luca unfolded and stood before him. Luca looked the same as always, unperturbed and slightly mischievous.  

"No," Luca quirked his lips leaning back against the tree. Not welcoming the body that pressed into him but not rejected it either. The answer had been a blatant lie, the color of the sky having darkened but Azusa didn't seem to care his lips colliding harsh and demanding with Luca's.  

This is the way that it a always way with them. No talking, just touching. No thinking.  

Which was exactly what Luca wanted.

To the Wizardess Heart+ Fandom

So I’ve been playing the game Wizardess Heart for a while now, actually over a year if I’m honest, and really I have no reason not to be lol, anywho I hadn’t really been a part of the fandom. I had no idea that there was one. Until one night not long ago when I thought “Man, there really is chemistry between Luca and Elias. I wonder if anyone ships them? I this a thing?” 

Oh boy, do they.  b (^_^) d

Thus I have descended into shipping hell with much pleasure. And the reason I know I have embraced the Lulias love is that I have written something. And that is the whole reason for this post, which is turning out rather longer than I expected, so I ask you (the fandom) would you like to read it?

I was inspired by some lovely work this and this successor piece, both amazing. And I don’t want to do anything offensive or …. well I’m asking for permission, and wondering if anyone wants to read it. I ask because I have posted my writings before and barely had any notice or feedback, so I thought I’d be preemptive this time and see if people want to read it. 

Also this is my first Lulias and it kind of exploded into a huge long thing, but also I’ve never written the characters before so Idek if they are ooc or not.

[jambajunkie]

This fandom is one of the kindest and most open I’ve ever seen, and there is QUITE a Lulias following.  So I encourage you to post it!

[gedonelune-romance]

@isthatwhatipick welcome to the lulias camp!! and imo there is absolutely no greater compliment to a writer than to be inspired by something they wrote, so by all means, post your fic!! i for one will be eagerly awaiting it

please don’t get discouraged if you don’t get many notes, comments, etc on your fics!! i’ve been there, and i know its hard. but you have the potential to bring so much joy to other fans if you just keep going!!

[isthatwhatipick]

Thank you, everyone. Really. I’m not particularly good at life, Lol, what is life? What are words? Articulation failing me....  you made me cry  I’m glad to hear that people are interested so I will be posting my work shortly!
