The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Just a head's up I might not post this Sunday. I've got a concert Saturday in Hollywood that doesn't end til 2 am (probably later), and there's no way I'm driving four hours back home without sleeping first haha. Considering I still have work on Sunday too... yeah. Hahaha. So just leaving this note. (Also my summer classes start next week, so just a head's up on that as well :>)

HAVE SOME MUSICS IN THE MEANTIME
\m/

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Aliquam: Tobias' Gala

Aw right, they were in the secret party base! The majority of them were donned in these awesome-possum masks that totally make them mysterious and not stand out from the other party-goers at all. Some of the dancers were wearing those expensive masks too! Wow, were they also investigators of this to-be crime scene? And the music! Ohhh, the music, which bounced back and forth between slow and lively. Definitely meant to throw off the guests and keep their emotions flighty.

Her nose tingled. Trixie whipped her head to see waitresses passing by left and right, carrying silver treys of tall glasses and funky-smelling drinks! Funky! That's suspicious. Moira and Amy and Aria took them and- oh wait no, that's just the smell of alcohol. Pah! These party hosts knew her weakness - that the dang smelly smell of champagne always squicked her out. She had to figure out another way to crack down on these crackpots. But how? Well, she could get away from the servers using the swirly stairs - if they weren't laced with oil to make her slip. Or she could check behind all those potted plants and giant paintings for secret buttons. Or she could-

"Trixie, if you'd like, you could come with us?"

Marcus' request had cut off the prankster's train of thought. "Huh, what? Well, okay, I guess." Without hesitation, she grabbed onto both Estelle's and Marcus' wrists and yanked them along with her as she made a mad dash through the dancers - "Exsqueeze me! Pardon me! Pixie comin' through!" - and up one fight of stairs. Against her suspicions, the steps were indeed not laced with oil. Once they made it to the top, Trixie trailed her hand along the golden balcony, before turning her attention to the windows.

"Man, this place is crazy decorated..." She sniffed the air. "It's like everything here is brand new. But didn't this guy have parties all the time or something?" With one arm hooked with Estelle's, she peered into one set of red double-doors, to find a group of people seated around some puffy chairs and a fireplace. That single scene alone reminded her too much of what she had witnessed at both Vandrell and Los Paraisos. "How come everywhere else is so much richer than Clockwork..."

Like Moira, Amy too brushed off Dylan's warning; she had been cautious of the young man the second he walked into view. It seemed they all were to an extent, whether Dylan's ties with him made an impact on them or not. Regardless, Amy was determined to have a drinking night with both Moira and Aria this time. As there were many other guests enjoying themselves at the bar before the trio (plus Syed)'s arrival, it'd be unlikely the drinks were poisoned anyway. She knew she was being superstitious at this point, but perhaps that's what the guilder life did to people over time.

She hoped the drinks would loosen her up. "Hah. If that's the way aristocrats prepare their drinks, it's no wonder their shit tastes different. Hey," she called out to the bartender as she sat herself at the counter, along with her companions. "I'll try whatever you've got in hand."

"Only the finest vodka in all of Aliquam, ma'am. It's called the--"

"Great. I'll take a pint." Amy's red lips curled into a mischievous grin as she turned her eyes to the illusionist. "So, Aria. You look like you've been around more fancy bars than most. Please tell me you're the type that drinks fancy red wine..." She was always on the lookout for newer, better brands, even if she could never remember the names. As her voice trailed off, her eyes loomed over to Moira next, who sat on the other side of Aria. It had been so long since either of the two had gotten a proper sit down like this, much less gotten drunk at all.

Congrats Kathi! :D

EDIT: Post is up! I rewrote Amy's dialogue four times trying to think of something for Buns/Kathi to bounce off, so I just kept it as it is this time. ;A; Hope it's good enough haha.

"Echoooo!" Trixie cooed back in amazement. She bounced with enthusiasm. "I love it, I love it!" She turned to see Aria and Estelle picking up masks as well, and the grin on her face grew even wider. Everyone was playing along so nicely. Even Dylan seemed to be back in his spirits, posing in his suit and complimenting the ladies. Trixie began to flock to and fro all the other guilders, at least those who picked up masks, as well as Dalia. She of course avoided Moira though, since the berserker had threatened Sparky earlier.

"Ooh, ooh, okay, so since we're all going on a super big infil- infa- inf... super secret mission, what's everyone's superhero names?? We've got Sparky, and Echo, and the Doc"--she jerked a finger at Dylan--"and, wait Lucy, you can't play superhero, you're a bad guy. Unless you wanna switch sides! You better not stab our backs though. And umm... oh yeah! I'm Pixie. Well I'm actually Wondergirl but Pixie is a coverup name for Wondergirl since they can't know it's her - me - and... ... ... ..." She rambled on and on.



Amy had taken a spot beside Marcus during all of this, watching Trixie's antics with a subtle grin. She shook her head, though in a much less patronizing manner than usual. The prankster had been really rallied up in her superhero antics lately. This couldn't be some sort of compensation for Don leaving, could it? She'd thrown a fit after Don's departure but hadn't said anything about him since. It was the same with Lisette and Selan as well. The girl just didn't handle friends leaving too well, but at least she had other friends surrounding her.

"Looks like we'll be in for a wild ride later..."

Post is up! I know we're moving on soon, and I'm the last one to post for this round haha, so I just ended Trixie with some rambling nonsense. Doesn't matter whether it's responded to or not haha. Wanted to keep this clarified juuust in case :)

Amy's smile widened, both from seeing Estelle flock to Aria in sheer joy from their matching dress choices, and from Estelle's suggestion with taking home extra dresses. "That seems to be the case," the cleric said, eying over the rack she had taken her beautiful green silk from. Ooh, and they had one that was red and gold... silver and black... Gods, there was so much to choose from. She was so tempted to fling all of them over her shoulder and haul them back with her to the guild.

She looked over her shoulder once Moira passed by again, still holding her confident strut. Damn, she really did look nice in that corset. "A challenge? Do you mean...?" The smile on Amy's face never left. Her eyes loomed over to where Aria was, before returning to Moira. "Perhaps Aria could join as well. She did say she liked drinks, didn't she?" The last time they had something to drink together was back in Los Paraisos, but even then that was interrupted by some macho pigs. Amy's cravings had been roaring for some good ol' wine since then, and drinking was always better in company.

The illusionist looked a bit preoccupied for the moment, so Amy would approach her with this offer later. If Moira doesn't before her, anyway.



The entire time Syed and Trixie dug around for some masks, she couldn't help but flock around the mage. "You just look epic and so cool," she cooed, completely enamored by his outfit. Then she turned around and saw Lute come into view again, and had to be repressed by Syed from pouncing on the virtuoso a second time. "Ahh! No, put it back on!" As the poor young man toyed with his hair and asked for suggestions, Trixie quickly nabbed the mask he had taken and shoved it back onto his face. When she peeled back off of him to look at him from a short distance, she made the same "hmm" and "ahh" noises as she had with Syed earlier. Then she went back to Lute and rustled his hair again. "Yeah! Yeah like this! This looks awesome!"

Trixie flung back to the shelf Lute had found his mask, and after digging around for a bit, she found a sweet purple one to match both Lute's mask and her own dress. "Yessss!" She waved over to Xandra once the metallurgist looked her way. "Look! Awesome undercover outfit, eh? Eh? Oh my omelets I feel so cool." She snapped back to Syed, a mischievous grin crossing her lips. "Hey, hey Sparky - that's your superhero name - you should find a mask too!" She snapped to Lute next, but her smile had suddenly warped into a toothy frown. "Don't you dare take that mask back off."

Her bright tone and sunny smile returned immediately. "Soooo, Lukey Luke. What's your superhero name? You better have one."

EDIT: Done! Kei, I hope you don't mind all the recent Trixie-Lute interactions~ I've been dying for those since last chapter, so ever since the prop room scavenge, I've been taking advantage of it while I still can. :D lol

Fox, feel better soon! ;w;b

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

I'M SO SORRY MY POST IS LONG. I got my mojo after reading everyone's posts and ugh I love dresses. Plus Pacman's and Fox's posts especially helped me out with getting mine started. ^^ Talking to Buns though so she can use Trixie if she wants to for her post :D

Glad to hear you had a great time, Buns! :D And yeah also relieved your dad is feeling better. Hopefully the recovery continues on as smoothly as it seems!
And yeah I've not heard of coffee jelly before. I like coffee, but I can't stand coffee-flavored things @__@;. (I only drink my coffee black lol)
