ferris wheel of love

[breastroke]

You've found yourself at an amusement park, and suddenly-- someone is guiding you towards a line. For whatever reason, you and someone else (possibly even a stranger you never met) are buddies for the ferris wheel. Whatever, it's just a short ride, right?

Except this Ferris wheel is magic. Towards the top you'll feel like getting close, and definitely like a power has overcome you. By all means, feel free to struggle, but once you get to the top it'll slow to a crawl. You two are going to kiss according to the powers that be, no ifs, ands, or buts.

This meme also doubles as an amusement park meme once you get off that awful ride! How about that? Now go have a magical night.

[ Oh, that's cool. That makes it a little less awkward, right? I mean... totally cool here! Literally, in fact!

... yeah, no. The kid is blushing hard through that pale skin of his. Did he do it wrong? Is this okay? OH GOD, WHAT DOES HE DO NOW?! ]

yes good

[summoned]

[ Nonbe presses her lips back against his for just a second - then pulls back, snickering. ]

You alright, there?

[yukiotoko]

[ Pffff-- okay, that just earns a nervous hair scratching cliche reaction there. But at least she doesn't seem put off by it!! ]

I feel like I've grown up just a bit, actually. Its hard to say but... I think I liked that.

[summoned]

Yeah, it's not bad. It's always such a big deal in movies and stories an' stuff, so it's not like it wouldn't be nice, I guess.

[yukiotoko]

I'll admit that it is less than glamorized than how it is said in stories, but you're right.

[ And cue a small smile. ]

I was honestly worried you might try to run again though.

[summoned]

Stories are just stories. There's no reason to be over-dramatic. [ says the girl who used magic to teleport away the first time. But she shrugs. ]

Too many people around to be usin' magic.

[yukiotoko]

Pot and kettle. I understand completely.

[ Oh, right. Not Alverain. Man, these Earth people and their superstitious views. ] Ah. I keep forgetting about the people where are less receptive about magic... someone really should change that sometime. It would be a less of a burden to everyone that is gifted, and I say that not as a magic user at that.

[summoned]

Dude, nah. There are probably millions of worlds. It's good to have some variety in how much magic they have. And there's even a lil' overlap, too, with people like me who can go back and forth.

[yukiotoko]

I feel pretty bad for those who do have magical properties but can't hop to worlds like you do. It almost gives the image of a possible secret society that fights crime... or causes them. Magic users tend to be pretty greedy and selfish, I've noticed.

But I suppose you're right. I wouldn't even imagine a place like your Earth until I've seen it for myself, after all.

[summoned]

Sundae says - she's from school - that she wants to see all kindsa worlds. But I'm alright with just these two.

[yukiotoko]

Being an adventurer myself, I can understand the notion. Perhaps you could introduce us sometime so I can show her what my world is like also?

Not as... well... not quite the same as yours, but we are eventually getting there.

[summoned]

She's got a boyfriend, already. [ guess who has the sensitivity and emotional maturity of a brick, IT'S NONBE ]

[yukiotoko]

[ UUUUUUUUUUUUH. ] I... uh... okay then. Is that an issue to meet with her and show her around? Or are things particularly different for your world here for such things?

[summoned]

I bet he'd be fine with it. I'm just warnin' ya. [ 'cause you know, obviously you just go around putting the moves on everyone!! ]

[yukiotoko]

I see. Well, thanks for the warning, but I don't plan to put her in any danger any time soon or ever. I mean, all I do plan on doing is showing around the capital of Trigam and the things us guildsmen do.[ Just because he's getting along with Omega better doesn't mean he flirts with everyone!! He's at least crawling out of his insecure shell!! ]

[summoned]

[ Nonbe is possessive as hell while simultaneously denying that there is anything serious happening by trying to normalize it so hahaha ha... ha... fun... good luck Honori... ]

That's fine, then.

Oh, she's a little weak, though. She gets sick an' tired real easy, so you can't push her too much even with just walkin' around and stuff. One time she fainted in PE and we were only playing badminton.

[yukiotoko]

I'm sure that's fine. If the worst case scenario happens, I can just carry her like I carried you many times before until we find a cart service to take us from place to place.

... I can't say I know what a badminton is, but I do know personally what physical exhaustion can do to a person to the point of passing out. Don't worry, she'll be in good hands.

[summoned]

I'll let her know, then.

Badminton is a sport. You basically hit a lil' thingy back and forth over a net. There are probably more rules than that, but in school they mostly just tell us to play with no rules and hope we'll shut up.

[yukiotoko]

[ Hahaha, give him a moment to think about this. A person gets to the point of exhaustion by hitting a lil thingy? What kind of lil thingy is this thingy that could wear a poor girl out to the point of unconsciousness in public no less?! ]

... sounds like a very grueling task. Does she have a weak body or is this sport that taxing on the body? It sounds like its quite a daunting game regardless.

[summoned]

It's because she's always sick. Most people can do it just fine.

[yukiotoko]

[ OH. Oh. Ooooooooooh. Well then! ]

... I may be able to find someone to help cure her ailments then, if she is plagued with something. A cleric and a warlord that are both pretty proficient in healing skills. I'll need to keep this in mind.

[summoned]

Anything you do to her will probably wear off when she comes home, but, I dunno. I guess it might help for the journey.

[yukiotoko]

... that still sounds rather depressing. A temporary fix only makes things all the more harder once it is made useless.

But I do hope that something will work on my side when and if we ever do that. I mean... the knight commander is still looking for a way to cure his sister from being a shifter, so I'm pretty sure somewhere out there is a cure for your friend too.

[summoned]

Dude, that's not really how medicine works in our world. I mean, for temporary stuff it can be, but I think she's pretty much stuck with it.

But it's fine. She's so used to it, it doesn't even bother her. [ nonbe is totally wrong but HEY what is being sensitive to friends??? ]

[yukiotoko]

... what a depressing world you live in. [ SERIOUSLY, HOW CAN YOU LIVE IN SUCH A PLACE AND BE OKAY WITH THAT???? ]
