[Continuation of this thread!]

[raizanshou]

Eh? A shooting star? [He starts glancing around the tunnel, before his eyes finally settle on what he's supposed to be seeing--a shooting star in the "sky".]

...Wow...

[asterism_angel]

It's so beautiful... [The entire night sky is beautiful, even. How did they manage to replicate all this in a tunnel? It must be some form of magic.]

[raizanshou]

Yeah... It is. [He glances over as Cheria and gives her a smile. It truly was a wonder how they managed to do this in a tunnel of all things.]

[Action, October 2nd]

[It is the morning after. The morning after the fairy tale event, that is. The morning after Cheria and Asbel were married to have their "happily ever after".

Of course, fairytale princesses don't immediately sleep with their new husband. No, Cheria had a good night's sleep in her own bed. Until she awakes abruptly around six in the morning, the weight of everything that's happened washing over her. She's married to Asbel. She'd been poisoned by Hubert, cured by a kiss from Asbel and now she's married to him. Aside from the poison bit, it was everything Cheria had dreamed of.

But... They weren't themselves. It wasn't really them who were married. Asbel's free will was affected by the experiment. A heavy, cold feeling settles in her stomach. Is it disappointment, frustration or even shame? She can only conclude it's a bit of everything. Oh, those stupid Malnosso! How dare they mess with a girl's heart like this? Despite her early awakening, she spends another hour or so in bed before finally gathering up enough courage to face her

[Asbel sleepily exits his room sometime later, still in his pajamas at the time. After being confined to that outfit for a week, having to train, socialize, eat, and even sleep in it (showering was definitely a chore, to say the least), he was never so happy to be able to sleep in normal clothing again. And boy did he sleep good last night. Mostly because the weight of everything that's happened hasn't quite hit him yet.

He makes his way to the kitchen.]

[asterism_angel]

[The kitchen just happens to be where Cheria is, in the middle of preparing breakfast for herself. When she hears approaching footsteps, she already freezes in her act of buttering her toast to glance at the door. When Asbel enters, however, she drops the toast completely. It falls butter-side down on the floor.]

A-Asbel...

[raizanshou]

[Asbel's eyes follow the toast's descent to the ground, before coming back up to Cheria.]

Ah... Hi Cheria...

[If Asbel passes by the living room some time after that ill-fated discussion with Cheria, he'll probably spot Richard sitting on the couch, a book of fairy tales open in his lap and a distant, almost wistful expression on his face. There's something sad about that look as well; though the book is open, it's clear he's not really paying attention to whatever it is that he's reading at the moment.]

[Action, October 2nd]

[raizanshou]

[After chatting with Cheria, Asbel first returned to his room to change clothes. As much as he wanted to just retire back to bed after that, he couldn't do that. That just wasn't how he did things, so he needed to prepare for the day.

...But even dressed, Asbel wasn't ready to face the day. Not with all that was on his mind. Asbel came to the living room area and sat down in the chair near Richard, though he hasn't registered the other's presence yet.]

[Action, October 2nd]

[ledbythewind]

[Asbel isn't the only one rather out of it today-- Richard doesn't even notice that his friend has come in for a few moments until at last he glances up from his book and spots him. It's pretty clear from the look on Asbel's face that he's just about as unhappy about the situation as Richard is, so at last he decides to speak up.

Of course, being Richard, he's not going to go for what he suspects is the issue directly. No, better to bring up the subject gently.]

... fairy tales truly are amazing, aren't they?

[raizanshou]

[Asbel responds with a distant, disinterested tone, very uncharacteristic of him.]

...Yeah, they are.

Halloween Event Continuations

[mistyarc]

[Why is that voice not going away -- ]

Yes?

[Maybe if he talks to it it'll go away. Is Asbel so . . . Asbel that he's beginning to invade his mind?

That's preposterous.]

[raizanshou]

[Ah, good. Maybe he was just lost in thought. That sounds like a Hubert thing to do.]

You never finished your sentence.

[mistyarc]

[He rests a hand on his head, his back still to Asbel. He can't help that. A moment of silence, then:]

Is it a figment of my imagination . . .
