Aliquam: Tobias’ Gala

Well, they were here. The grandeur of the event was apparent and only served to rekindle his discomfort, but at least they were still unnoticed. It would’ve been worse if the music stopped and everyone paused to look at the Pride… Ugh. Lute was about to suggest that they go search for Tobias to thank him for the invitation since that was what he thought a guest should do upon arriving at an event, but Dylan didn’t seem too warm with any idea concerning their host. The artist even gave them a warning, one which Lucien happily complied to, but if the virtuoso was being honest the girls were more than capable of protecting themselves. ‘It’s us that need protecting,’ Lute thought as he watched Lucien tug at his panda flaps while glancing around in excitement. Gods preserve them.

The summoner then pulled him and Syed close, their faces squishing against each other so much that Lute’s mask moved out of place. He quickly pulled it back and listened to Lucien’s proposition, unable to get a word in edgewise since the boy was so fired up with his idea. “A ‘babe hunt’?” Lute narrowed his eyes and imagined the three of them yelling while running after some poor girl. He didn’t know Lucien was into that kind of activity. Delilah quickly corrected his false assumption and the virtuoso turned pink under his golden mask, his eyes seeking out Syed to gauge the man’s reaction. “Hahaha… ha,” He laughed weakly but the summoner stared at him. Like really stared. Waiting for an answer.

“But we’ve already got babes here!” Lute gestured to the girls in their group. “Oh yeah, speaking of, one of them just called me over! Thanks for the offer, Lucy! It’s really sweet! Good luck to you two!” The virtuoso intentionally talked louder than normal as he retreated over to Aria’s side, where the summoner would probably not pay attention to him anymore. “Whew, glad I escaped that pickle. Say, Aria, if I drink one of those, will I get drunk?” He tapped her by the shoulder and gestured at the waiter with his tray of champagne glasses. His eyes wandered over to the dance floor and Lute winced. “Looks like your type of scene. Are you going to try it out?” It would be uncomfortable if he hung about while she went off to dance, so the virtuoso looked at his longtime friend, awaiting her response.

Fox of Spades said "You know what this means? Operation babe hunt!"

Oh no

Posted! I'm kind of wondering if I'm doing enough here, so if anyone wants me to change anything, just tell me, okay? /o/

“Oh yeah, this look works! Thanks, supergirl!” Lute readjusted his mask and saw that Trix already had her purple one on. Cool! They looked awesome! Well, he didn’t look that cool, but if he stuck along with everyone maybe their sparkly radiance thingy would make him appear nice too, huh?

Trixie asked him what his superhero moniker was and Lute took a moment to think about it. He was never really good at naming objects, like that time Ruana adopted a mouse and he called it Cheesebits as opposed to her much more refined choice which was Randolph, much less himself. To think of it, he’d probably ruin his reputation as a superhero if he made up his own alias.

He shot a look at Dalia and Lucien for help, but upon feeling the prankster’s stare intensifying he decided to, well, wreck it. Sweeping his arm downwards in a melodramatic manner, Lute bowed before raising his other fist in the air. “I.. am.. the one and only Echo!”

‘Well shit, bro. You totes ruined our lives.’ Delilah looked even surlier than her usual fix as soon as she heard the name the virtuoso had whipped up.

“The name’s under reconsideration! I mean, the superhero league’s still deciding whether my alias is up to par, you know. Ha ha ha…” Lute’s cheeks turned pink and he scratched the back of his head. “Anyway, looks like we’re all set!” He hastily swept the conversation to another topic and tugged on his suit, ready to leave as soon as everyone was okay.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Songbird and Brandy left the entrance hall and ended up in the kitchen.

“Hmmm,” Songbird muttered to himself as he tapped the side of his glow jar. The bugs inside, probably tired from the relentless throttling he gave them earlier, flickered for a moment before returning to a more muted output of light. The kitchen was wide and roomy, with chipped stone counters piled with all sorts of dirty pots and dishes- the item hunter turned towards the bunny, expecting more or less a negative reaction from him- where insects crawled out of. Eeew.

“So, uh… Let’s go look at the cupboards,” Since he was taller than Brandy, Song elected to look at the upper shelves although some were too far up for his reach. Cringing, the nobody ran his hand over the dusty wood, only for the tips of his fingers to brush past something hairy.

He shrieked and careened backwards, and his black hat slipped down his head from the impact when he slammed against the opposite counter. Bright circles pierced the darkness where his hand had been earlier, and there was a hiss before the two points of light disappeared. Songbird realized he had been this close to losing some fingers.



Avian stood up and dusted his pants off when he heard voices from the other side of the wall. From where he was, the voice wasn’t loud enough to be coherent, but Jasper looked relatively calm so he assumed that it wasn’t anything he should be worried about. Perhaps that pair of humans that was behind them earlier? Anyway, he decided to approach and caught a few of Inadi’s words.

“Two M’s… Midnight Man? Ha. Too close for comfort. Thank you!” He mulled over the clues and then called out for the boy to hear, only for Jasper to tap him on the arm and present her own evidence. Newspaper clippings… Old and torn at the edges, clearly leafed through frequently by their previous owner.
“Thank you, miss Jasper,” Avian murmured and nodded at the girl before touching the papers. “The one about the Forest of the Ancients seems older, doesn’t it? That’s not a good sign,” He noted out loud, waving the thin papers in the air to show Jasper the difference. “Yes, if he’s the only one who knows where the Stone is, we’ll need him. But the newspaper is too old… Which meant that he had been missing for a very long time now. We may have to accept the fact that he’s dead,” The dragoon winced, but continued, “So I guess our next priority is to find a memento.”

The next clipping caught his eye. “Hooded figures…? Why would they be included in this?” Avian seemed genuinely distressed when he read the publication about the vandalism in the castle. However, he realized that Jasper was watching his face for his reactions and composed himself, giving back the papers before scanning the other ones she hadn’t read.

“Has your group, by chance, met these ‘hooded figures’ they’ve been talking about?” The soldier breached the topic delicately since she might mistake him for a nosy upstart trying to worm his way into Delirium’s political problems. “What do you think of them?”

“Huh,” Lute watched as Marcus helped him with his suit, straightening edges and folds that the poor virtuoso never suspected as improper, “So it’s supposed to look like that. And that too. Weird. Thanks!” He grimaced when the mage mentioned dancing with a pretty woman but he nodded to show that he understood, blushing at the compliment the man gave him. “Thanks again. You look great too!” Lute smiled before tuning in to somebody saying “Oooh! Oooh!” over by the side. Probably Trixie getting excited? The white-haired man then looked himself over before being knocked down.

“Ow… I’m pretty? Nah. You’re prettier!” The virtuoso replied quickly and then got up when the girl dusted herself off, then mimicking her actions with his own suit since Marcus had just fixed it up for him. "But look at my dress!” Lute nodded but was distracted by a folded gold square on his sleeve. Did he rip it? “Look at it!” Oh, it was supposed to be like that. “I SAID LOOK AT IT, WHY AREN'T YOU LOOKING." “I’m looking, I’m looking!” Lute exclaimed as he glanced up at Trixie who was now on top of a set of chairs. “It even has a cape!” They simultaneously cheered before the prankster shot off to find an accessory. “I better go there too,” He excused himself from Marcus and followed after Trixie, worried that she might have tripped or-

Oh, well there she was with Syed! The tall man approached him and Lute was about to say he didn’t know who Wonderboy was when Trix returned, and voila there was a new addition to Syed’s outfit. “Looks like everyone here has better fashion sense than I do,” The virtuoso laughed before approaching the rack. A mask, huh. Obviously purple to mix with her dress. Lute nabbed a white one and wore it before turning to the others. "Wow, is this real gold? Fancy, huh?" Then he returned it.

As the three rummaged about for a fitting mask for Trixie, Lute posed a question of his own. “By the way, you two,” He pulled his bangs back while blushing almost furiously. “Like this or,” He let go and his messy (or fluffy, if you ask Aria) hairstyle was back, “This? I have to make an effort to look as nice as the both of you do too!”
