It's a festival, a festival

Jun 12, 2011 00:52

Despite their more than occasional snickers at the foreigners' expense this week, the locals of Vatheon haven't skimmed on the festival they are organizing this Saturday; the smells of delicious foods start drifting all through out the bubble from an early hour and soon the streets are busy with people setting up booths, stages for fight and play.

[well, that dark alley looks kind of unsafe for mingling, but sure, it's your party, man.]

That's okay, Rue doesn't mind the darkness. She likes it in fact, and she's just hiding away, away from all the noise and the people and the lights. The thought doesn't even occur to her that it might be unsafe, so she stands comfortably, leaning against the wall as she watches people at the game booths.

They all look so weird--but then again, so does she. A Curse, that's what everyone was saying--

Well, it's almost over now.

[ Alleyways are a good place for smoke breaks which is exactly what this doctor is doing. A quick drag is blown out as he taps the ash out and glances at Rue. ]

I'd thought you'd be out there with everyone else, dear. Fancy seeing you here.

kruehe June 12 2011, 10:40:22 UTC

She jumps a little at his voice, taking her away from her comfortable spot on the wall. She's less frightened though, when she realizes the voice is a familiar one. And she looks at him calmly with a shrug.

...too many people, too much noise.

Really just not her idea of fun. :|

And why aren't you there, doctor?

xblood_lusting June 12 2011, 12:47:25 UTC

[ He lifts the cigarette in his hand as if to motion why. ]

I frequent this alley for the very purpose of it.

[ A slight headtilt though as he takes another drag, making sure to turn his head upward before exhaling. ]

I hope you don't mind.

I'm not sure she would even know what a cigarette is BUT oh well-- kruehe June 13 2011, 04:27:19 UTC

I...can't say I do.

Not that she feels like she's getting a choice in the matter, but she shrugs. It's his body. And she has control of hers; if she really wants, she can move.

You're here often, then? It seems a little out of the way.

8D Either way~ xblood_lusting June 14 2011, 09:36:23 UTC

One needs his peace and quiet.

[ Another drag and he leans against the wall slightly. ]

I'd expected you to be out and about... though if I may ask, how has the city been treating you?

kruehe June 14 2011, 11:43:15 UTC

...it's been a rather...interesting week.

She looks down at her strange outfit contemplatively. She remembers waking up one day in that outfit; and though she does not like the brighter colors, she at least appreciates that it's a good outfit for her dancing.

I've been like this the whole time. Weird bars and words floating around my head, just like that fairy creature. I'm assuming this must be one of those curses you were telling me about...

Yes, indeed, doctor, Rue paid attention to your explanations. And now she's studying you.

Are you...unaffected?

xblood_lusting June 16 2011, 12:26:59 UTC

When one refrains from touching the coral, the curse doesn't affect them. But as you see...

[ Another drag on the cigarette. ]

It's taken quite the toll on me.

kruehe June 16 2011, 19:41:12 UTC

...I see.

[ So that's what causes it. She lets out a sigh, remembering that she indeed touched that coral, just once out of curiosity. It seemed to radiate energy that reminded her a bit of her precious Mytho's heart shards...but now she kind of regrets it. Oh well.

It's almost over, right? Just a little longer. She looks at Muraki, so comfortable with that cigarette in his hand... ]

It doesn't seem to bother you, though.

xblood_lusting June 17 2011, 15:40:11 UTC

I've managed to cover up the ensuing fatigue with a few medicines I keep around the office... even if it seems it doesn't affect me.

[ A slight laugh as he took one last drag and ground the cigarette out with his heel after. ]

The nicotine helps.

kruehe June 18 2011, 21:18:09 UTC

Does it?

[ She watches as the cigarette falls to the ground and he stomps it out. She's not actually sure what the term means, so she's kind of just assuming it refers to the cigarette itself, for the moment, not bothering to ask. ]

...it doesn't smell like it would.

xblood_lusting June 19 2011, 07:34:39 UTC

I've merely found it too hard to stop. Far too long in the addiction.

[ He glances over at her, straightening his jacket. ]

Best you stay away from them.

kruehe June 19 2011, 08:18:22 UTC

[ Well. The doctor will find no argument from her there; so she simply nods, deciding to let the topic drop for now. And her gaze wanders over to the stages where the tournament is to be held. ]

It looks like there's going to be some sort of fighting going on.

xblood_lusting June 19 2011, 12:12:10 UTC

A tournament, it seems.

[ There is a pause as he glances out of the alleyway. ]

As well as a festival. Have you any interest in these things?

kruehe June 20 2011, 10:17:34 UTC

I've...never seen this type of tournament before. And the last festival I went to...

[ ...she thinks back on the fire festival. She had looked forward to it so, yet when Mytho showed all that emotion--it was so unlike him. It scared her. She wonders if it would be better this time; in a strange place where nobody knows who she is, just another face in the crowd. ]

Well. I suppose I don't really know. Did you want to join them, doctor?

[ She watches as the people pile in; some to watch the fights and, she supposes, some to dance and play at the festival. Hmmm. ]
