.:Final Night Under the Stars (Week 3 Curfew):.

[hjadningavig]

[ There are beads on top of a table with some typical fabric string from studio.

In case someone wants to do some very basic art stuff. ]

Comments

[hjadningavig]

[ Dainsleif can be seen helping Raikou at some point.

But otherwise, he can be bothered after that while he's watching from the corner of some sort. ]

[aspirings]

[Tsukasa is here! Of course he's here, Raikou is here.

But.

He's, of course, a little antsy. He mostly just paces around... tugs a book off of a shelf... flips through it... puts it back... paces some more... rinse and repeat.

It's Thursday night, who could blame him.]

[ohiganbana]

[ the second time tsukasa flips through a book and starts to pace, raikou is stealing his hand. ]

I'm going to quiz you on the next book you "read" like that. [ who can blame him--

--the trick is to be nervous on the inside and not show it on the outside! ]

[ohiganbana]

[ after they finish with their totally impenetrable fortress- ]

Phew. That was a workout.

[heartstringless]

[He approaches him after all the book sorting is done.]

What are you thinking about...?

[heartstringless]

[Honestly... no one can blame him. Pinocchio doesn't really suffer from nervousness the same way most others do, but even he can feel that small thread of anxiety creeping through him — the anticipation of knowing what'll happen soon but not knowing how it'll take place.

Still, he can try to offer some company. Maybe it'll help them both.

P approaches.]

Waiting is the worst part, isn't it?

[aspirings]

[Oh.

He doesn't complain when Raikou snags his hand, though he does breathe out a heavy sigh.]

They're not holding my attention very well. [For Obvious Reasons.]

[aspirings]

[He does appreciate the company, honestly; Pinocchio gets a lopsided but sincere smile when he does. Tsukasa just... pops the book he was holding back into place.]

Yes. I'd like to believe nothing will happen tonight, but...

[The past weeks have proven otherwise.]

[ohiganbana]

I think I can do better than a book, don't you think?

[ all teasing, but he's making circles on tsukasa's hand with his fingers. ]

Do you want to talk or play a game?

[aspirings]

[Better than pacing some more, so.]

A game? Did you have something in mind?

[heartstringless]

I know. I hate not feeling like we have any control over it.

[Even back home, he could at least take to the streets and fight. Here? Not so much. It is either sleep... or awaken, apparently, to a dire fate.]

I think the best we can do now is stay close to each other and find better ways to pass the time.

[ohiganbana]

Well if it's just the two of us we could play shirotori or cat's cradle, but I'll warn you that's a specialty of mine.

[ me scrambling for things that can be done in rp. ]

We could play "Never have I ever" if other people want to join in, though I didn't bring any beer...

[aspirings]

[He snorts lightly at that.]

Drinking tonight doesn't sound like a good idea anyway.

... What do you mean cat's cradle is a specialty of yours?

[aspirings]

[A deep breath in, and he heaves out a heavy sigh.]

You're right. I don't want my antsiness to bother everyone else, too.

So! Something else!

[hjadningavig]

[ Too bad they can't apply some kind of magical shield as additional insurance, but Dainsleif will take this much effort in something over nothing. ]

It was.

...You did a good job, Raikou.

[hjadningavig]

I was thinking about our current situation...and how I hope that this night sees no tragedy.

However, I am also prepared for the worse, so that my expectations are accordingly kept to ready myself for any outcome.

[ Serious and focused as usual, it seems. ]

[hjadningavig]

[ Dainsleif is nearby, and seeing Tsukasa pacing around makes him want to speak up. ]

...Concerned?

[aspirings]

[Everyone here is so calm and then there's Tsukasa, vibrating.]

Well, yes!

Of course!

How could I not be?

[ohiganbana]

Definitely not.

[ unless it was asahi zero. ]

Oh, are you interested? I'm not telling, but I will show you.

[hjadningavig]

[ Tsukasa is like that person with people in a room standing and he is vibrating like a macarena at high speed.

Which, valid. ]

I believe it's time for a distraction, then.

[ Please imagination him using something close to the thinker pose as he considers this. He is just going to...pick a subject at random. ]

What do you most like about singing?

[heartstringless]

[Hmm... something else.]

We can play a game? [Let's see. They've already done twenty questions. What else has heard of before...?] Have you heard of "two truths and a lie?"

[heartstringless]

[So it seems, and P is grateful for that. They need a steadying presence like him here.

(He thinks it's very knightly of him, too.)]

That's a reasonable way of looking at things. I was wondering where we should... situate ourselves before we fall asleep. Not that it matters, but... in case we get moved around or something...

[aspirings]

[Sounds dangerous... his eyes narrow a little, but.

He falls into this trap every time.]

Fine then! Now you've got me curious! So show me what you can do, Raikou!

[aspirings]

Oh, yes, I have.

[Well. They can certainly play that. Tsukasa is the worst liar in the world, but it's fine.]

I suppose there's no harm in killing some time with a game like that. Would you like to start?

[aspirings]

[Dainsleif is the best... just casually offering himself up as A Distraction.

Tsukasa blinks at the question, but brings a hand to his chin as he thinks.]

Hm! That's a good question. It's fun, of course. [That's the easiest reason.] And I do enjoy musicals, and the way that singing can convey many things about the character to the audience!

So I suppose those two things would be my favorite when it comes to singing.

Do you sing at all?
