a small left amara as she looked from tempest to the crowd. “dance? rarely. and, if i do, it isn’t like this. i prefer to watch if there’s dancing involved,” she said before taking a sip of the wine in her hand. “the wine here is also not to my taste. the wines from home are sweeter,” she shared. “what about yourself? i sense you’ve grown bored – and, rightfully so. you came with a rather handsome fellow, why not have him entertain you?”

“Sweeter wine?” she echoed, her interest piqued. “It is decided then. If and when we figure out how to get here, I need to figure out how to visit you at your home. If you say the wine is better, I want to be able to enjoy it, too.” She smiled ever so slightly. “Forgive me if I just invited myself to your home, but wine just may be my favorite discovery in this small town.” When Amara referred to her best friend as the rather handsome fellow, amusement was written on her face. “Well, we really didn’t have much planned except come in looking beautiful and scope out what the fuss was about, really. I never was invited to balls like this where I’m from.”

Being a person with some degree of emotional intelligence, Wenxiu knows replying with “I know” to her compliment is a dumb idea. In the time he took to think of another response, a better one, she’s already moved onto the next topic. It’s for the best, he thought to himself.

“Don’t worry. I came with a plan,” he smiled. He pulled a fabric strap that was folded up from his waist pouch. Carefully, he placed one end of the fabric between his teeth. With the rest of the fabric, he wrapped it around his torso in an X-figure a few times then knotted the two ends together. The swords fitting snuggly behind his back into his makeshift holders. 

“Ta-da. Hands are free to escort the beauty of the ball around the dance floor. No puns intended but you’re in pretty good hands.” He had his hands up, fingers wiggling, for the full effect. Once he got his little chuckle in, he held a hand out for her to take. 

“Come on. I’ll teach you,” he said softly with a playful wink. 

She couldn’t help but chuckle when he revealed his plan, and watch as he successfully executed it. His determination was yet another thing that echoed Meng Yi. Or maybe she was only seeing things she wanted. The look of concern on her face was quickly replaced with a small smile when he finally turned to her. “I’m not sure if I quite fit that title,” she shook her head at him. Jiao didn’t really concern herself with looking beautiful as it didn’t make an improvement in her performance in the military. But Meng Yi always used to make her feel like she was-- or at the very least she wanted to believe him. She didn’t know why it was hard for her to believe Wenxiu.

Wenxiu’s playful nature made it that much easier for Jiao to enjoy herself and actually laugh. LJ took his hand, ignoring how her heart leaped as she did so. “So long as if I look a fool, you’ll look a fool right next to me too,” her smile widened, teasing her date. “Alright, teach me what you can. I’m a fast learner.”

[ li jiao ] / "if you had to do it again, would you let the events of the canhe slope battle play out the way they did again? or would you try to save meng yi, knowing that you will die alongside him?"

“I’ve ran this over in my head more times than I can possibly count,” she blinked, trying not to let her tears leak. She had just begun speaking and she hated feeling like this. “If I tried to save Meng Yi, I would have died alongside him. And that would’ve been such an easy choice to make. Unfortunately, in my life, there are many more than relied on me that I could not leave behind. I’m not the only one affected by my decisions. I still had a troop that I had to lead to safety, and my family whose hearts I could not bear to break. He would’ve hated me if I stayed behind. Just like I hated him for the longest time. I hate that I completely understand why he did what he did.”

[ ylania ] / "what are your thoughts on love between a human and an immortal in regards to the limited time they have together?"

“Not everyone is so lucky as to find love,” she began with a soft smile. “I’ve honestly thought about this a lot before I decided to tell Toby the truth. A lot of humans go through life and they don’t even find it. And in the short period of time that I have these precious moments, it will make the long stretch of time that I will exist a little easier. And I’ll keep them in my heart for as long as I am alive.”

Kieshara stared at the stranger blankly, confused at how anyone’s appearance had to do with being stuck in this magical prison. Out of all the prerequisites, surely that would have been the very last. “I do not know how you came to that conclusion but I will say, it is a rather silly one. Regardless of how attractive everyone here is, the matter at hand is that escape is virtually impossible.” Keishara summarized with a tired sigh and shake of her head. “And why are these hookups so important to you?!”

Madge laughed when the other pointed out that she had a rather silly theory. “Coming up with theories isn’t my forte, I confess,” she shrugged, turning to the stranger. “They’re important for sanity’s sake, no? Having a little fun amid a crisis. It’s how some people cope. Now I’ve heard many of the residents-- are we calling ourselves that?-- Either way, a lot of people have been here for months and haven’t been able to figure out a way back home. So I think the next best thing is to make the most of the situation.” She paused, taking a sip of her drink as she considered the other woman. “You can’t honestly tell me hookups aren’t fun.”

Dee Dee didn’t care who watched her while she danced. Instead, she moved to the music, making up her own dance moves along the way. When she heard someone’s voice from behind her she spun around to face her. “ Thanks! I like you too! “ she paused a moment, “ Whoever you are! “ she added with a giggle. The former dragon gave a little spin, glittering flying up into the air that surrounded her. 

Madge laughed as she watched the dust settled, glittering as it showered on them. It definitely looked great with the glitter of her gown. “I’m Madge,” she introduced herself, speaking a little louder over the music. “What’s your name?” Madge asked the stranger. Her energy was indeed contagious.

[ ylania ] / "would you kill dimitri if you had the chance?"

“If I had the chance--” she repeated. She should’ve done it as soon as he turned her. But she didn’t know how to control her abilities back then. And even now when she did, she didn’t know if she was powerful enough to. “Dimitri is smart and powerful. Much more powerful than I am, considering he freely consumes human blood. I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to try.”

logan was always grateful that madge never took her fazing out on her personally.  logan never meant it–she truly thought she was better at multi-tasking than she actually was–but she could always see how people could take it personally.  “oh, well, maybe next time?”  she offered with a shrug.  she wasn’t too keen on big crowds, but so long as she knew a couple of people to hang around at them, then she was alright.  but she turned her head to look at madge, taking her eyes completely off her book.  “oh, we’re doing facemasks?  i don’t think i can read if you’re applying one on my face.  plus, it could drip onto the book.”  she shrugged her shoulder and made a face as she closed the book, carefully noting the page that she’d left off on.  besides, she also knew there was no way that logan could talk madge out of doing the facemasks, so she knew better to go along with it.  

“You can just lie on the couch and I can put the apply it on your face,” she hummed excitedly as she stood up from the couch. “You know, so you can keep reading.” She turned to her friend as she walked to the bathroom. The girl came back with a container of cold cream. “What’s got you so invested in that book anyway? There’s probably a lot of new literature for you to consume in this new town.” She sat down next to Logan, peering at the book.

[ tempest ] / "after experiencing what it's like to be in love, do you want to experience that again?"

“I hate myself for saying this,” she outwardly cringed at the memory. It was a lovely night, and she enjoyed Gwen’s company very much. But she hated the way she acted. And she felt unsettled the whole time while her insides squirmed. But it was also something she never felt, and something she never knew she had the capability to feel. “but I wouldn’t be opposed of it happening for real. I doubt it will, though.”

the sound of the other’s voice only had sacha rolling his eyes before he turned to address fezile. he liked fezile when he still associated with the avengers, but it appeared the other had the same thought as all the rest of them. “does ben know you’re here? i heard something on the wind that the three of you are experiencing a little trouble in your perfect little paradise. but, that’s your business and this is mine,” he said, brows furrowing together. he knew he didn’t have a right to get defensive with fezile – he’d hoped they could still stay on good terms. “ben knows i’m in town, yeah. i talked to him. that’s all that needs to be said. don’t worry. i’m not here to make his life harder than it is. and, actually, on my way out of here right now.”

He felt himself recoil when the other questioned the state of his friendship with Ben. And when the other male assured him that he wasn’t here to make life harder than it already was, he didn’t know whether to trust that or not. Fezile kept his circle close and few. And when the other left seemingly out of nowhere-- at least to him-- he felt hurt too. He liked Sacha. And he thought he built a genuine friendship with him back then. But he didn’t know if that stood true.

And Ben knew he was here. He would’ve heard of it had things not been so messy between them right now, Fezile was sure. “Heard,” he acknowledged the other. He looked around at the ball, and noted the stark contrast of the feeling on his chest and the lively festivities going about. “You’re right,” he nodded. “It is our business. I didn’t really peg you to be the kind to mind your own business, though. So thanks for drawing the line for me,” he smiled bitterly. “You should at least enjoy the punch on your way out. It’s free alcohol.”

[miraculousandcursed]

[ fezile ] / "which vibranium-power technologies do you miss the most from home?:

“Oh, honestly? Nanotech,” came the easy answer. “It’s just so versatile.” He nodded, affirming his choice. “But what I miss the most is my workstation in Wakanda. Everything is just so manual here. I miss developing tech in general, really. Also, I miss my hoverboard. Walking from across the room is so tedious.”

closed for @miraculousandcursed​ ( madge ) 

logan shrugged her shoulders as she stretched out on the floor where she’d been reading as she listened to madge speak.  though, if she were being honest.  she’d only been half listening and half reading her book–actually, probably more focused on the book in her lap than what her friend was saying.  so she turned to face madge with a sheepish frown and looked apologetic, “sorry, could you repeat that?  i was really into the book.”  it had been like this since they were kids.  logan had always been the kind of person to multi-task, focusing on two or three things at once until the time came when she’d accidentally let one of the things go.  she’s sure she heard what madge said, but she hadn’t really processed it since she’d been so engrossed in the novel as well.  

[miraculousandcursed]

If any other person had forgotten to pay attention to her, Madge would absolutely have been upset. But she knew Logan never meant anything when she did. It wasn’t the first time, and it definitely wasn’t going to be the last. Instead Madge laughed, rolling over on the couch. “I was talking about the ball that I wish you were in,” she tucked a stray strand of hair away from her face. She was talking about the one girl she always ran into, and about her hoping to run into her again. But Madge wasn’t about to repeat that. “I don’t want to distract you too much from reading though. So I’ve decided instead we’re going to do facemasks!” She declared with a grin. “Or at the very least you can keep reading and I can apply it for you.”

"Kai, I ship you with a ship, and also getting me a latte. Mocha, extra whip, and three pumps of vanilla. Thanks!"

“I’m not sure what’s happening, but I’ll be back with some coffee.”

[miraculousandcursed]

"Fizzy! You and the girl you took to the dance were cute! I approve!"

“I refuse to acknowledge that nickname. It’s Fezile. Wasn’t holding out on your approval, but I can definitely agree that Nicole is pretty darn cute.”

@nicolexseeker

[miraculousandcursed]

Rozen, I'm shipping you and Nicole.

“We did have a lovely dinner date. But I may have scared her away with my attempt at fried macaroni and cheese because she was with someone else during the ball.”

@nicolexseeker

[miraculousandcursed]

Kai, I'm shipping you and Ola.

“Not exactly sure what you mean-- but if it’s what I think it means, I was supposed to take her away from Arendelle.”
