Strawberry Delight

@bravenvixen

With Christmas just around the corner, Raeger had prepared some treats for two of co-workers at the Moonlight Cafe. While Angela received her apple cinnamon loaf without so much as a comment, Raeger was hoping to get a little more exciting reaction from Eve. Not that he thought it was worthy of exaggerated praise, but it’d be nice to have a little more input than what the aloof brunette had given him.

Spotting his boss entering the kitchen, Raeger took out the gable box he had brought into work, quickly making his way to hand it over to her. “Merry Christmas, Eve! Or, should I say Merry Christmas Eve, Eve?” He let out a light chuckle at his own joke. “Anyhow, this is a new recipe of mine, so I hope it’ll be to your liking. Let me know what you think of it later, okay?” 

Inside, she’d find a strawberry and vanilla macaroon trifle.

Iced Out

♕⋆˚｡⋆୨୧˚✧ — Inside each of the person’s mailboxes is a small package with their name on it. Inside is a pair of gloves and in a smaller box is a diamond ring. Along with it reads a note that says:

What’s up, Chuck?

@bravenvixen

♬‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ — Guitar tuned? Check. Vocal warm-ups? Check. Was Neil at all ready to go up on stage? Nope, quite the opposite. 

Unless it was by accident or someone heard him through the walls, he didn’t play nor sing for anyone. He made no exceptions and hell, even his cousin Eve had never heard him perform. He only agreed because she kept bugging him about it ever since he let it slip. 

It wasn’t that he had a bad voice or didn’t know how to play the bass, he had been doing both for years and was actually pretty decent at both, the problem lied in showing others how talented he actually was. Not that he actively was trying to impress anyone. 

The blond was seated at the bar with his guitar strapped to his back and he was just counting down the minutes in the crowded bar until he finally had to go up and play for all these people. He had practiced a countless number of times, but even still had a bad feeling about tonight.

“Is it too late to back out of this and just get shit-faced drunk?” Neil asks, staring down at his almost empty glass of water. 

He didn’t want to have a ton of drinks for the occasion, but maybe downing a few glasses of water wasn’t such a good idea either. He could feel his stomach churning, but figured that was just nerves as he had been this entire night. He just hoped Eve could say the right words to make him finally go up there and do what he came to do.

Silk and Spirits { To Eve

To the Dearest Ms. Eve McAlister,

Past the silken dreams and spotless wine glasses, I hope the holiday glow has been treating you kindly! I’m sure you’ve seen your fair share of pretty glass to last yourself a lifetime. But during this holiday, may you remember that beyond the wine lies the eyes of a very clever woman-- who strives to collect souls as she dishes out spirits. 

This fan is not to hide your lovely smile, but to fill your hands as you dance. Perhaps it’s a bit of a stretch, but I know a dancer when I see one. So... A toast to you my dear. For so long as you click your heels, any bar can be home.

Sincerely,

Mikhail S. Weiss

Just Another Evening || Xiao Pai & Eve

@bravenvixen

Xiao made her way to Siren’s Song again for another night, though it was later this time- perhaps she was coming back a bit too soon, but...... Are you really doing this?! She criticized herself internally as she made her way into the first floor, looking for something specific..... There it is! She thought happily, eyeing a Jellyfish plush she had wanted since the first time she had visited. They were all adorable, but this one really spoke to her. It was a little derpy looking; one of the eyes was placed slightly incorrectly, a little further down on the face than the other eyeball was. She smiled as she picked it up. She felt dumb for feeling bad for a stuffed animal, but...it reminded her of herself a little bit.

You’re perfect just the way you are! She thought to the jellyfish as she had it rung up and bought- making a mental note that this was really what she needed to tell herself, as well, as she made her way down to the basement. Since she was there, she might as well relax and hangout for a little bit. As she turned the corner though, she ran straight into someone, barely able to keep herself from falling down entirely, but managed to catch herself...and her jelly, of course.

She blinked and looked up at the much taller person she had bumped into, and almost immediately began to panic as her cheeks began to flush, causing a wave of dizziness to overcome her.

I would bump into a really gorgeous woman, oh god...! I hope she doesn’t hate me or is mean! “I-I’m so sorry, miss! You are not hurt, yes? I....It seems I am very clumsy, you see, a-and I was not pay attention, so...”  She stuttered over her words in her thick Eastern accent, feeling only extra self conscious in front of someone so attractive. This lady must be a super model!!!! She looked down, averting her gaze.

Damn It’s All Good...I Guess ||  Jamie & Eve

@bravenvixen

Jamie sighed a little bit as he slunk into Moonlight Cafe- it was rather late in the night, as he had made it a point to come at a time when the initial evening rush had mostly left to go home and pass out or puke or something. Not to mention, he was just getting off his shift from the church, anyways.  He sat down at the bar- making a point to sit at the end seat. He didn’t think many more people would show up, but if they did, they likely wouldn’t sit next to him....but if they did, like some strange people liked to do to ‘meet new people’, at least only one person could do it. Last thing he wanted was to end up surrounded by chatty people. He frowned, his body and mind exhausted- a drink could do his some good tonight, he figured. Maybe he could relax, even if it was just a little bit. 

As he heard the steps of the waitress, he put in before she even spoke, “Long Island Iced Tea, please.” He said, pushing the menu away from him and then darting his gaze away.

Lavender: Who do you distrust?

Flower Ask Meme↳ Lavender: Who do you distrust?

Felicity has to spend a moment thinking over the question, and her answer. She oft preferred to look at life from a positive viewpoint, to see the best in every person she met and encountered. In her eyes, no one was too far gone, or irredeemable. They just needed that special something, to help them see the light again.

Still. Some actions and choices couldn’t easily be forgiven. And sometimes, not forgiven at all.

“I suppose people who aim to use others for their own cruel agendas. Individuals who hurt, and take away, for no real reason at all... I can’t put my trust in those types.” She smiles sadly. “But I do want to believe that there is the potential for reform, and redemption.”

Target Practice Prizes

The Elysian Six Laboratories’ Target Practice Event has ended. The results are as follows:

In first place is Sonja, with a perfect score of 9 points.

In second place is Eve, with a somewhat noteworthy score of 7 points.

In third place is Violet, with an adequate score of 6 points.

Tied for last place with 0 points, the worst score possible, are Shara and Lloyd.

Despite the skill difference between them, Sonja, Eve, and Violet all receive the same prize: An Elysian Laboratory Necklace!

This necklace has a silver chain, and a blue stone pendant with some strange runes inscribed on it. If you cast one magical spell/ability/buff on the necklace, it will be stored within the pendant. It can then be released later, at any time, without using any MP!

The necklace can only store one spell at a time, and you must use up the spell already inside of it before you can store another one. Please note, however, that these necklaces are a “prototype”. Sometimes, spells get- shall we say- stuck.

When releasing a spell, use the following line:

t!choose release | release | stuck | release | release

If a spell gets stuck, you won’t be able to use the pendant again. Not to worry, though! If you bring it to Gelwein, he can remove the spell, and leave the necklace good as new!

Now, for you absolute losers, don’t worry- we do have a consolation prize. Both of the players with zero points were bad, but Gelwein has determined that Lloyd was worse, and so he will be rewarded with this Cursed Absolutely Normal Necklace.

Ask Gelwein, and he will tell you that this is a totally normal necklace. It definitely won’t sap your magic, energy, or your health! It’s perfectly healthy to wear, and if you start experiencing problems, you should definitely go to the laboratory to have some tests run on you, because it’s not a piece of jewelry doing that to you!

The rest of you lot get nothing at all. But if you wish, you may come and practice your skills any time. Gelwein might even set out some special targets, if you ask nicely.

Freesia: Who is your best friend?

Flower Ask MemeFreesia: Who is your best friend?

“A best friend? That’s a little tough, considering I have several,” Raeger couldn’t help but smile warmly at the thought of a certain trio of dorks.

“Agate, Fritz, and Lillie have all been my friends since childhood, and to this day, they remain as my closest yet. It wouldn’t be much of a reach to say they’re practically family to me, even. When you find people who know you inside and out like that, it’s hard to find something else that could compare.”

Primadonna Girls

@bravenvixen

♕⋆˚｡⋆୨୧˚✧ — “Thank you, thank you~” Lanna bowed after her performance and took a short break to re-hydrate herself water. Even though she wasn’t touring the world as a famous pop idol, she still performed at the local bars on Leuda and Arcadia. 

Tonight was a bit lackluster. The crowd turnout wasn’t bad, it was a decently sized audience, in fact. But it was a bit quiet tonight, maybe a few claps here and there, but each time she gazed into the audience, there were mostly stone-faced expressions. She wasn’t going to lie, it was a bit disappointing to her as a singer, and she knew she wasn’t a terrible singer either. There had to be something to move this crowd. 

With a snap of her fingers and a quick motion to grab the mic again, she had an idea. 

“Alright folks, we’re going to change things up a bit.” She smiled innocently and began to saunter around the café. She stopped near Eve, one of the workers at the café and removed the mic from herself for a moment. “Let’s perform a duet together, yeah?” 

[thepelagoislands]

Zinnia: Who do you miss right now?

Flower Ask MemeZinnia - Who do you miss right now? (Also asked by @bravenvixen)

“Definitely all my friends,” he admitted. “It might have only been a couple of months since I’ve left, but it feels like years since I’ve last seen them.” Sure, he might’ve texted them while he was away, yet it hadn’t been the same as seeing them in person.

“I guess you could say that I’m the kind of guy who can’t stay on his own for too long.”

Letter in a Bottle

To anyone living in/visiting Mire Apartments! || @perfume-beux | @sixstringing | @chelseahasdaggers | @givehimtheleaf | @idreamofaquamarine | @heavyhammerhappyheart | @bravenvixen | @lunarlanterns | @feeding-the-fxre | @xiaobaopai | @butlerpower

Neighbors, however often or rarely he saw them (or not at all for that matter), remained in Mikhail’s heart. He had actually been deliberating over performing in the lobby for them over the holidays, but inevitably decided against it. Instead, he considered alternatives: a gift to take on the road. The neighbors could come and go, and pick up his special something at the lobby if they so pleased.  But what could he make that was from his heart–aside from music?

For a while, he was lulled to an uneasy sleep by the thought of coming in empty handed for Christmas. But then it hit him! He shot straight out of bed, gathering all the empty bottles and jars that he kept as spares in his arms. Humming delightedly, he went to work, finding scraps of paper to scrawl messages on. It wasn’t much, but it was just something that felt like… it truly came from him.  

Rolling the messages up and popping them in the bottles, he had a good mix of letters, fortunes, and words of wisdom for anyone who came by.

“Dearest Neighbor,

I hope you are all warm and well this holiday season! There is a lot to embrace from this year gone by, and I’m sure there are just as many things you wish to forget as well. Whatever has happened, I hope you can take some time to listen closely to the snowfall. It whispers of good fortune and faith, for all those willing to keep their ears open.

With that, I’ve managed to collect a few drops of wisdom in these bottles. Feel free to take one and do with it as you want.

Sincerely,

Mikhail S. Weiss, your neighbor
