Action | | Open to all
[Happy White Day, Miracle Country! It seems that this year, Miracle Country hasn't been very celebratory - having skipped Valentine's Day entirely - but perhaps White Day is a chance to make up for that?

Not so much. As a means to "celebrate", the world's magic is doing an anti-Valentine's event. Suddenly, affection is not only frowned upon, but actively discouraged. Couples today will find all kinds of obstacles interrupting any attempts to be romantic with friends, family, and lovers.

Holding hands? Suddenly there's a tree root to trip you. Going in for a kiss? Suddenly there's an invisible wall blocking you from your partner. Trying to cuddle? Water balloons are getting tossed at your head, or a bucket of very cold ice water. Trying to... get intimate? Well, enjoy that incredibly loud and annoying alarm bell that's suddenly ringing and won't stop until you stop, or perhaps that feeling that your pillow is full of rose thorns...

All kinds of things can happen (and feel free to make up your own): water balloons, tree roots, even quicksand in places! Sudden gusts of wind, sudden rain showers, birds landing on your head and pecking until you stop, sudden patch of ice causing you to slip...

But maybe if you hide away, it'll be alright. It seems that Kiseki isn't always looking to disturb the couples, and those that find interesting hiding spots and solutions might be able to have a moment or two with their sweetheart. Hide away, and maybe it'll stop...

Except, take heart couples, because White Day isn't all for naught: as the evening approaches, characters will fell compelled to go to the ballroom where everything is set up for Kiseki's very own Bitter Ball, complete with all the party decorations! And an abundance of alcohol.

It's almost as if Miracle Country wants you to get romantic, though, despite the mixed messages: there's plenty to eat and drink, there's music playing with a big open dance floor, and lots of pretty decorations for White Day. But help the poor couples who decide to show up together, because as soon as they step inside, Miracle Country is forcing them to opposite sides of the room.]

	[She recognizes him! Even if they haven't spoken much yet.] Hello. [Polite bow...! At least she's been trained gruelingly in ballroom etiquette.... even if it's a bitter ball.] It's...Porthos-san, right? [She thinks she remembers hearing it.] We attend class together.

	My name is Yuuki. Yuuki Kuran. [She's not sure if she's introduced herself properly yet.] Having fun? I think we're not supposed to be. I can't tell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm always happy where there's free alcohol, milady. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2014-03-15 04:29 am UTC (link)
	Really? [It seems like everyone is happy when it comes to having alcohol.] I've never tried any before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A grave loss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2014-03-15 04:55 am UTC (link)
	Does it really taste that good...? [She eyes one of the cups on a table nearby.] I generally gravitate toward sweet things! Like chocolate, or smoothies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mindmywound 2014-03-15 05:47 am UTC (link)
	There's sweeter-tasting alcohol. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rum's made from sugarcane. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ehh...!? All of this time, Alcohol has been made of sugar!? Nobody told me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mindmywound 2014-03-15 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	It doesn't exactly taste like sugar, milady. Only that it's sweeter than the kind of alcohol made of barley or grapes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2014-03-15 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	. . . So it's not really sweet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mindmywound 2014-03-16 12:03 am UTC (link)
	It's sweet. [~~In his opinion.~~] Don't care for it much myself. [Considering how most sugar is harvested, he. can't exactly approve and enjoy the benefit or someone else's forced labor.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2014-03-16 12:08 am UTC (link)
	[ Hmm . . . ] I guess it doesn't hurt to try things once. [She's an adult now after all...! Seventeen years old!] _{I had been offered those strange drinks at the ball, too...} [Although those had blood in them and she refused...] So let me guess... you like more savory things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mindmywound 2014-03-16 12:13 am UTC (link)
	I'm unsure what land you hail from, milady, but in mine, sugar and salt is not easily acquired. [Super fucking expensive. So most of what he eats is bland.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Where I come it's pretty plentiful.

[She's never noticed a lack there of. But then again, she comes from a very wealthy background. Both her birth family and her adoptive.]

There's lots here, though, right...? With a whole myriad of different types of food and spices, it would be a shame not to explore it all while we can. Just the other day someone even got me lasagna for the first time.

[She's so starry-eyed]

It was delicious! ♥

	[......] ... I'm getting the impression you enjoy food, milady. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2014-03-16 12:48 am UTC (link)
	Ehee... just a little. [A LOT] I think I like sleep and food equally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a wise choice. [As far as vices go, gluttony and sloth's hardly the worse you can do.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's about all you can do anyway, when spending your days locked in a basement.] But in order to not make myself sound totally lazy, I enjoy pole vaulting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
