LYALL

“get a good look. it’s not gonna happen often.“ he’s not really the type to be swayed by compliments– but hearing it from his mate makes something warm and proud settle in his chest. lyall rests his hands on jiang’s hips and tightens his hold. “i’m fine. i want to keep an eye on tiana. and you– you’re looking pretty enough to eat.”

     he can’t help but grin at that, nodding. “i know. i don’t mind. i like your clothes more than the tux.” it’s the truth— jiang knows they both feel out of their element, looking forward to the end of the wedding so they can leave. just as he opens his mouth—- a familiar scent comes through the air, making him freeze, and his smile quickly drops. jiang’s whole frame grows rigid as he pulls back, face pulled tight as he’s thrown into a frenzy, looking around, chest heaving. “t- they’re here- h- how’s that possible ? i- know i know this scent, lyall — it’s- it’s from- back then.”

TIANA

“  OH  REALLY  ?  I  guess  that’s  why  i’ve  never  met  him.  i’ve  never  been  to  olympus  before. ”  there’s  really  never  been  the  desire  to  go,  not  with  the  stories  and  myths  she’s  heard  of  the  families  there.  tiana  keeps  shaking  her  head,  bashful  with  his  compliments.  “  no,  you’re  just  biased,  is  all.  i  don’t … know  if  i’m  nervous,  i’m  just … i  feel  kinda  weird. ”

      “you havent ? we have to go together one day — maybe a road trip ? it’s really nice there, i could show you around.” jiang lets out, excited by the prospect. and at her words, he cannot help but refuse, shaking his head again. “i am not biased, tiana, i won’t take no for an answer.” the smile on his face drops a little, lips pursed in worry. he himself feels- nervous and uneasy too, but he thought it only was only because of the crowd. “did something happen ? would you like to leave ?”

GOGO

‘ is that so ? tell him i could do his so the two of you could match . i mean , i would attempt but we don’t have a high enough level in the friendship chart . ’ he’s teasing , but the smile he wears doesn’t reach his eyes . there’s a sudden rush of worry , one he tries to coral and wave away with a shake of his head . ‘ maybe it’s just too overwhelming ? i forgot your lot isn’t used to this . ’

     a snort leaves his lips, then turns into small laughter as he shakes his head. “something tells me he wouldn’t like that at all —” one hand goes up to run through his hair, a long sigh rising his chest up and down.  “i think- that might be it ? something is off but i can’t put my finger on it. lyall and tiana feel off too, from what i picked up. i think ... it’s just us.”

OBERON

EVENT 004  :  the royal wedding ! 

a satisfied sigh leaves his lips at the kiss , hands searching of hers to tangle their fingers together . ‘ you leave me weakened , petal . ’ oberon states , leaning his forehead against hers . ‘ i hope you’ve said your hellos as i won’t be letting go of you for a little while . ’

     a wide smile on her lips, she squeezed her lover’s hand, eyes falling shut as he spoke. “you’re being too kind-” there was a flush to her cheeks, and when she opened her eyes, they were filled with adoration. “i’m done, i promise. i’m planning on sticking by your side, my love- wouldn’t have it any other way.”

RAPUNZEL

“oh, you don’t have to apologize! i can get kind of clumsy sometimes.” her smile was bright, though still laced with an edge of awkwardness. there was something so graceful and regal about the lady in front of her, that she almost felt a slight bit of self-consciousness. not that she thought it was intentional on the lady’s part– making her feel that way. “yes, and all in heels!” she sighed to herself. “but, it comes with the territory of royalty, or so i’m told.” she chuckled once. “i suppose you’re right. a break would be nice. before my feet fall off, ya know?” she paused for a moment, eyeing the woman. “i’m sorry, but– who should i tell them asked for my presence?” she wasn’t sure she was familiar with her face.

       “we all do ! no need to apologize either, please.” she reassured, smiling back at the girl, nodding at her words. “it is quite the torture, isn’t it ? even more reasons for a break, i must say — there’s no use running yourself to the ground. whoever it is, they can wait, i promise.” she had been a part of this type of life long enough that it hurt seeing new princesses overwork themselves, and if there was anything she could do, she was more than eager to help. “come on then- it feels so good taking off your heels after a long period of dancing-” she gestured towards the outskirts of the ballroom, one of the tables that were unoccupied near the balcony. “oh ! i forgot to introduce myself, my apologies. it’s queen titania of merowech- and you must be- princess bourbon ? pleasure to meet you, my dear.”

YARRAN

he’s been trying his best thus far to keep a neutral air about himself. he’s known the day was bound to be difficult but he’s underestimated it. a bit too much. it’s not even for the reason he would’ve expected. unsurprisingly, his sister picks up on it, something he’s simultaneously grateful and guilty for. “ i apologize for worrying you, tiny. ” he murmurs, keeping his gaze on hers, tense posture fading as he seems to deflate in resignation. “ that sounds wonderful, honestly. i think some fresh air would do some good. ” he offers his arm for her to take.

       a hand goes up to poke him under the ribs, a stubborn expression on her face. “you know better than to apologize, yarran — you know how important your comfort is to me.” and at the affirmative answer, she links her arm with his, giving him another smile. “let’s go then —” she leads them both through the crowd of people, and picks up two flutes of champagne. the castle is big enough that it takes them a few minutes, but when they arrive outside, the fresh air feels refreshing. “tell me- what’s on your mind ? did you- see someone ? or... is it the event itself ?”

AMBROSE

EVENT 004  :  the royal wedding !

‘ your date seems .. docile . isn’t it usually the other way around ? ’

       “shut it, rosie —” the back of his hand hits the other vampires shoulder, and he squints. “there’s a difference public and private, you know ?”

[omuse]

TOBIAS

the mad hatter chuckles , magick humming with his glee . ‘ tobias does ! but he likes to hear it from jean from time to time . ’ he smiles , feeling pacified at the vampire’s words . they’re simple but they hit harder than jean would ever believe . ‘ acushla  —  what tobias calls jean . do he know what it means ? ’

      “is that so ?” the vampire drawls, thumb brushing over tobias’ cheekbone, his entire attention on the wizard in front of him. “i’ll make sure to tell you more often then-” and the question makes him purse his lips, shaking his head slowly. “i- not completely, no. tell me more about it ?“

[omuse]

ADLEY

adley stares at the liquid passed to him .  he’s not so sure he should be drinking more , jetsam might not like dragging a drunk faery out of here , but it’s a favor , so adley takes a sip and promptly makes a face .  he waves his hands around , crossing them in an  ’ x ’  in front of him in a  ’ no good ’  gesture .  he doesn’t have his pen and paper with him to write down things and he needs to rest his voice , so he just gestures to the liquor and then to a glass of water someone left behind and makes a face .  it’s definitely got water in it .

      the god’s eyes are glued to the other’s face, carefully watching his expression with a focused one on its own. when the other’s face finally twists, he exclaims loudly, happy to be right. “ha ! i knew it — those bastards !” he’s probably louder than he should be, but he doesn’t care, much too ignited by the sheer atrocity of watering down drinks. “do you think it’s someone pulling pranks or the kingdom itself ? i’ll have a word with whoever it is — what the hell —- we have to find something proper.”

JULIET

the wedding had become nothing but reminders ; memories of a girl - a human - that loved too much . seeing the wedding had only sparked memories of what she once had . loneliness and want was what she she had ended up with . a voice startles her from her thoughts as she turns her head to face the other figure . “  yeah you can say that , “ she breathes out as she takes another sip of her wine . “ more like tired of pretending … beautiful wedding isn’t it ? “ 

      the artist hummed in agreement, turning around to look down at the gardens, arms resting on the railing. “i get that — your face hurts with fake smiles at some point —” he gestured with one hand, a small sigh leaving his lips as he shrugged. “do you have many people you know there ? is that why you have to keep up pretenses ? ... sometimes not being known can be a bliss.” he let out, pausing before he answered. “it is. i wonder how many of us the bride and groom actually know.”

       “humor me — does anyone actually like weddings for the ceremony ? or am i right and we’re all here to party ?” he raised an eyebrow, holding out a glass to the stranger. “be honest.”

APOLLO

closed starter for @omuse​ — dionysus & apollo.

“Dio,” he says with a hand over the other’s shoulder, a warm smile on his face. “How have you been, my brother?”

      “’pollo ! it’s good to see you —” the god begins, patting the other’s arm, a half smile on his face. “it’s been alright- you know how it gets... thank god there’s booze, am i right ? what are you up to ?”

       “who invited you here ?” the god tried to hide the malice in his tone, but it was a difficult task, his gaze short of a glare as he met the other’s eyes. “you better not be planning something.”

        “i don’t think i’ve ever seen all of us dolled up like this before.” jean began, holding out a drink he had picked up a short moment ago. “doesn’t something... feel off ? or is it just me ? all the royal talk and rubbing elbows is getting annoying at this point.”

𝙴𝚅𝙴𝙽𝚃  𝚂𝚃𝙰𝚁𝚃𝙴𝚁  for  @ringwandervng​   |   wilhelm

       there were a few familiar faces she had seen throughout the night, engaged in brief conversations now and then- but it wasn’t a huge surprise to see them here, since they had met up a few times in the past year. however, as she walked through the crowd trying to find her date — the sight of willhelm made her freeze, eyes growing wide, trying to figure out if it was really him. “willhelm ? is it you, or is it my eyes playing tricks on me ?”

       some of the guards knew her from her previous visits, as well as her title, which was why finding guinevere and being let inside her room wasn’t too difficult. when she did, there was a wide smile on her face, and she navigated between the attendants rushing back and forth to her side. “my dear — you look amazing ! how are you feeling ? is there anything i can do ?”
