Come dance away the night with me~

[thequestgiver]

Characters: Any and all!
Open? Yes!
Where: Castle grounds by the East Bridge
When: Evening of the 9th of Rebirth's Height
What: The Height Moon celebration


The field between the castle and the East bridge has been decked out, tall poles with flowing bright colored cloth, tables full of food and drink, a stage where performers play cheerful and mostly on key tunes that can be almost heard over the din of so many voices talking and laughing. There's a large area full of dancing couples, whirling skirts and brightly colored jackets mingling freely.

Any empty hands will be either pulled in to dance or given a large flagon of ale to join in the revelry. Come, eat, drink, dance and forget the cares of the world outside the town's walls!

Off towards the side of the dance area, there's a gaggle of girls forming a ring around a white haired Prince, pushing and shoving at each other to get closer to him and being horrible fangirls as he dances with one chosen girl, then tosses her aside to dance with another.

Anyone trying to break through the circle will be faced with full on Twilight fangirl rage. Care to risk it?

[whatmuttiforgot]

Momiji's not afraid of fangirls, and thus he does dare to get closer. Actually he was just trying to get to the other side of the dance altogether, but instead found himself facing the Prince. No matter, with Tony gone he could use some else to talk to.

"'Ello?"

[me_and_only_me]

The Prince pauses giving a small smile. "Come to dance...?" he asks, offering his hand.

The crowd of fangirls swells with cries of protests and yaoi fangasms at the offer before the Prince, holds a finger to his lips to quiet them, red eyes glittering slightly.

[whatmuttiforgot]

He looks down at the hand, ignoring the girl's cries, and shrugs. "Okay." He took the hand.

..I need more icons here. @_@

[me_and_only_me]

Very easily the Prince pulled Momiji into a simple dance, taking the lead and making it easy for the teen to follow his steps. "You're different than the rest here...."

[whatmuttiforgot]

Momiji follows, stumbling slightly. He glances around and smiles. "Because I'm a guy?"

[me_and_only_me]

There was a soft laugh. "There is more of a light in your eyes and a strength in your heart than of all those here," he corrected, voice smooth and even as he slows to match Momiji's pacing.

[whatmuttiforgot]

He giggled. "And how can you tell that? I don't think we've ever met."

[me_and_only_me]

"There is a scent that a pure heart gives off, like the fragrance of a flower in full bloom." There was almost a hungry look in the Prince's eyes at that moment before he continued. "It's something that cannot be hidden and that shows in every action."

[whatmuttiforgot]

"You can smell hearts? That's kind of weird." He made a face but didn't pull away. Heck, he used to hang out with aliens. He was used to weird.

[me_and_only_me]

"Not like you would smell something with your nose," he corrected gently, sweeping the teen into a low dip before pulling him back up.

[whatmuttiforgot]

The dip was a bit much for his liquor addled brain and once he was righted, he had to take a moment to stop his head from spinning. "Then how?"

[me_and_only_me]

"It's a smell that you can sense... Like the flutter of your heart before you fall in love at first sight."

the fact that he has an entourage...

[loyalbeyonddeath]

Having been waiting for this chance all night, Fakir wastes no time deciding a course of action. He stomps toward the gaggle of chattering girls and muscles past them, glowering at Mytho the whole time.

"I knew you'd show eventually."

[schrien_die_raben]

Rue was close behind him, having figured there was only one person who could make Fakir stalk off so quickly. She only wished she was able to get passed the angry girls as efficiently as he was.

"Get back, you parasites," she snapped. "You're crowding my husband."

[me_and_only_me]

A soft chuckle. "Where else would I be? This is where the dance is, is it not?" he asked, arms spreading wide to gesture to the crowd.

The girl closest to Rue gave an offended huff, pushing back.

[loyalbeyonddeath]

"Wherever you can take advantage of people," Fakir said. He gestured to the girls. "Though I suppose this is the most convenient place. How many hearts do you plan to take?"

[schrien_die_raben]

Rue nearly hushed Fakir at that, for it was far too much of an embarrassing thing for him to say aloud. But looking at the faces of the young girls after he said it, she smiled, thinking better of it.

"You really ought to be ashamed of yourself," she said loudly. "Lying to these poor girls when you have a wife already."

[me_and_only_me]

A sly, cruel smile spread on the Prince's face. "So mad with jealousy that you're already claiming to have married me? I didn't think even you were that desperate, Rue..."

[schrien_die_raben]

"I'm not," she said, holding out her left hand, on which sat a delicate golden ring inlaid with a heart-shaped ruby. "This is proof of your vows to me. Whether you choose to betray them by going after these fools is of no consequence."

[me_and_only_me]

The Prince raised up his own, unadorned hand. "I wear no such ring... And why would I give a girl such as yourself that sort of promise? I only want a girl with a pure heart... not one as tainted as ugly as yours...."

FUCK YOOOOOOOOOOU

[loyalbeyonddeath]

Without even realizing it, Fakir moved to stand between Rue and the prince. "Stop this and come back with us," he commanded. "I don't want to have to take you back."

[schrien_die_raben]

Rue glared at Fakir's back. He had no right to interfere in this.

"Your heart as it is now is uglier," she shot back at the prince. "Only monsters desire pure hearts. You want what you yourself cannot have."

[me_and_only_me]

"If my heart is ugly, all the more reason for me to wash away the stains you so graciously gave it with the purity of these maidens...." the Prince gestured to the crowd around him who answered with an appropriately fangirlish cry. "I will be slave to neither of you any longer...."

[loyalbeyonddeath]

"You weren't a slave to anyone," Fakir spat, advancing on him. He wouldn't let him slip away.
