Silver Bells || Baekhyun

Baekhyun x Reader - Wedding!AU

Series: Wedding Bells ~ A series in which you can see what it’s like to marry the EXO members :) Series Masterlist will be posted later on in the future with the rest of the members!

Absolutely NO plagiarism of my work.

You tapped your foot nervously against the floor. You’ve been waiting for your dress to arrive for more than half an hour and you’ve been getting nervous as more and more time passes by.

“Will you please calm down?” a voice called out from your right. “I swear your gonna end up burning the ground with how many times you’ve walked over it.”

You stopped pacing and stared at your best friend in shock. “(B/f/n)!” you cried out. “My dress still isn’t here and I’m about to get married in five hours, why wouldn’t I be worried?!?”

(B/f/n) sighed and rolled her eyes. “You know your ‘soon-to-be-hubby’ would still marry you even if you went in your pajamas. Chill girl.”

You glared at her. “Don’t tell me to chill ok!” you huffed and walked away stomping to mope in the corner to weep. “Just wait till you get married and your dress comes late. Then we’ll see who’s chilling!”

Your so called best friend sighed once more and shook her head. “Seriously though,” she said. “wait for a while longer. Jongdae called me a while ago and told me he’s on his way with your wedding dress right now. He should be here in about less than five minutes I’m guessing.” But you were too busy moping to even bother hearing what she said.

You groaned loudly from your slumped position on the dressing room sofa.

“What if the dress never comes??” you whined. “Baekhyun’s probably goona be all dressed and suited up for today and I bet I’m not even going to be ready by the time I’m supposed to walk down an isle! I bet he’s going to end up hating me for the rest of my life for ruining his one big day and then he’s going to end up marrying some random girl he’ll find on the streets and then end up being her husband because she might be prettier than me and at least she never has her wedding dresses delivered to her late-“

(B/f/n) gave you a ‘shut-up-before-I-kill-you look’ and so you immediately closed your mouth. You knew you were being ridiculous, but still. Today was yours and Baekhyun’s wedding, and you wanted everything to be perfect. God knows how long it took you, your mother and even his mother to plan the wedding. Both of the mothers, just like you, fussed over every little detail and planned it out smoothly in the nick of time since they were both so well organized.

Ahh yes, the wedding that was going to be held today. More precisely, yours and Baekhyun, your boyfriend of over four years’. Isn’t that exciting? Though, if you thought planning a wedding was exciting, guess again. Weddings can be fun yes, but not the task of always planning one. You had everything already set at that time, cake, wedding hall, bridesmaids and grooms, you can name it all. But when it came to choosing a theme, you wanted to crack open your skull.

Your thoughts slowly drifted to the time when you finally decided on a wedding theme. It was on the day you and Baekhyun had gone out together.

“So~” you remembered Baekhyun saying as you went on your last date as girlfriend and boyfriend a couple of months ago. “What’s the theme for our wedding?”

You sighed and shook your head. “None of us really have any clue to be honest.” You said, referring to you, his and yours mothers. “We thought over a lot of ideas, but none of them seem to satisfy us.”

Baekhyun just hmm’d and grasped your hand as he led you towards the park and remained quiet as he listened to you rant.

“We went over everything Baekhyun, I swear!” you cried, waving your free hand in the air. “We even asked our friends, heck we even asked Mr Google, but there wasn’t anything that screamed… us…”

Baekhyun looked at you in confusion. “Us?” he asked, unsure if he heard right.

The two of you reached a nearby park bench and you both sat down. “Well, yeah.” You said, referring to his question as you looked at him. “It’s going to be our wedding soon, isn’t it Baek? When that day comes, our lives are going to change for the better. It’s going to be a day where I won’t be able to sit still and maybe even burst with happiness. It’s a day I want in which nothing goes wrong.”

You watched Baekhyun’s eyes swirl with emotion. You could see happiness, excitement, and even pride in them. But also, confusion?

Baekhyun grabbed your hand in his. “I know your excited love but,” he looked at you in adoration. “Even if you’re in your pajamas, I would still marry you, and I would do it hundred times over and over again. Hell, I’d probably be in my own PJ’s you know.”

You smacked him playfully in the shoulders when he started to laugh. You huffed and squeezed his hands. “Don’t worry Baek.” You chuckled, smiling at him as he smiled back. “I promise our wedding will be a great one.”

Baekhyun nodded. “I don’t doubt you or the others in on planning the wedding. As long as you’re happy, I don’t care what theme we end up having, I wouldn’t even mind if there wasn’t one. I just want to end up kissing you.”

You snorted and leaned your head on his shoulder. “Ya, me too.”

After a while of peacefulness, you felt Baekhyun playing with your fingers. He traced his finger over your ring finger, where the silver promise ring he gave you a few months ago was placed. He looked like he was in deep thought. He spoke up after some time.

“… Silver”.

“Huh?” you questioned and looked up at him, taking your head off of his shoulder. “What silver?”

“I want a silver themed wedding.” He confidently exclaimed, looking at you. “Think about it, from a color psychology viewpoint, it signals a time of reflection and a change of direction, and helps with the cleansing and releasing of mental, physical and emotional issues and blockages as it opens new doors and lights the way to the future.

And that’s just what you represent to me (y/n). The day I met you, I felt myself change in so many ways. I was out of control all the time, like a dog without its leash. I was reckless and careless, but once you appeared into my life, I noticed a drastic change in me. You made the best in me shine, and I can only thank you so much for that.

And for all the times my emotions were out of place, when I couldn’t contain my anger, sadness and all that, you were there to keep me in line. When most left, you were there to replace every single one of them. You’ve paved out a new future for me (y/n), a future that I can finally have with you.”

You were shocked that your significant other was able to make out all of that from one color, you were about to say something but jumped when he suddenly got excited and yelled,

“Won’t that be awesome (y/n)!” he began jumping in his seat and waved his and your intertwined hands in the air in glee. “Aigoo~ The decorations would look so pretty wouldn’t they? It’ll be like a Disney movie! You like those right?? Aiii~ Imagine you in a silver dress with a silver tiara and all that, you’d look just like a princess~ And I’ll be the shining and dashing prince at the wedding and all the guests would immediately fall in love with me -but I’ll only marry you don’t worry (y/n)- and just imagine the cake oh my god I cant even-“

Baekhyun was cut off by the sound of you laughing loudly. He looked at you confused.

“What??” he demanded and shook you by your shoulders. “Why are you laughing? Stop laughing at meeeee.”

You shook your head and pinched his cheeks happily. “No Baekhyun.” You giggled. “In fact,” you lean over to kiss him.

“It’s perfect.”

That memorable event was the same day where you placed your foot down and decided that your wedding will be silver themed. What’s not to like about it? Its simple, would look great, and it would look like it came straight out from a fairy tale.

Now, if only your dress could come a bit qui-

“I’m here!” a voice called out and they popped into the room you and (b/f/n) were in.

“Finally!!” you screeched and snatched the dress in its case from Jongdae’s hand, ignoring his ‘Where’s my thank you?!’ and dashing into a changing room to get changed into so the wedding make up stylists could quickly do their magic on your face.

‘Wait for me Baekhyun,’ you thought and hurried into your dress as your best friend slipped in to help you.

‘I’m coming.’

“I can’t do this.”

(B/f/n) threw her hands in the air. “Oh for the love of- what now??”

You said nothing as you stared at the brand new you clad in your wedding dress and makeup done perfectly. To say the least,

You looked gorgeous. Breathtaking even.

“I look horrible.”

“Stop denying your pretty face, you’re gonna turn heads when you finally walk down the aisle ya hear? Now shut up.”

You sighed. What was wrong with you?

Your damn feelings were all over the place and you felt like exploding. There were too many emotions flowing through your body. Fear, excitement, giddiness, and impatience. You felt like running out of the waiting room, find Baekhyun and just jump into his arms. You didn’t think it would be hard to not see your beloved one for a few hours, but boy where you wrong.

“A-are you sure I look ok-”

“If you ask me one more time I swear I’m going t-”

“(Y/n)?”

Both you and (b/f/n) looked towards the door where the muffled voice came from behind it. Your eyebrows furrowed. “Baekhyun?”

The door handle shook and was turned slightly, the door opening slowly before (b/f/n) let out a shriek.

“What are you doing?!” she screamed, running towards the door and slamming it close in your soon-to-be-husband’s startled face before he could see you. “You know it’s bad luck to see the bride before the wedding starts!!”

Baekhyun let out a yelp and whined about his nose from the other side.

“L-lemme see (y/n) real quick for a sec!” Baekhyun yelled, banging the door gently. “I-I need to talk to her!”

(B/f/n) rolled her eyes. “You can see her when you get married in a few hours. Now scat!”

You got up from your position from a sofa in the waiting room and walked over to your friend when Baekhyun’s pleas reached your ears and became too much.

“It’s fine (b/f/n),” you said, placing a hand on her shoulder as she turned to face you. “we’ll just talk through the door.”

Your best friend looked at you for a while before sighing and nodding.

“Fine.” She said, and stepped back before opening the door, making sure the boy on the other side couldn’t see you before slipping outside. Once (b/f/n) was on the other side, she pointed a threatening finger at her best friend’s man. “No peeking, ya hear? You’ll bring bad luck to your own wedding.”

Baekhyun nodded frantically, finally relaxing now that he could talk to you.

“(Y/n)?” he called out for you once (b/f/n) walked away, going closer to the door which you were behind. “Are you there?”

You nodded at the sound of Baekhyun’s muffled voice. “I’m here Baek. What’s wrong, everything ok? You sound worried.”

You heard him chuckle slightly from the other side.

“I guess I'm too nervous and excited.” Baekhyun spoke. “My emotions are eating me out.”

You giggled. “Explain please.”

Baekhyun smiled at the sound of your laughter. “Well for starters,” he said jokingly. “I’m worried about my safety after this wedding, God knows if I can ever look at other females without you killing me!”

You snorted. “As if I can get away with guys without you becoming jealous either!”

A huge grin broke out on his face at the mere thought. “I won’t be able to help it (y/n). I’m your man, and you’re my women, I don’t plan on making you fall in love with anyone else but me.”

You looked at the door at where his face would’ve been if Baekhyun had been on the same side as you. “It’s not like you’d have any competition Baek.” You said gently, placing a hand on the door. “The only one I want is you. Everything that I could ever hope and wish for resides in you, you hear? You’ll never have to worry about me finding or looking at anyone else. You’re the only man I would want in my life.”

Baekhyun remained silent as he took in your words. He breathed in deeply and leaned his head on the door and closed his eyes.

“I love you (y/n).”

Your eyes widened and your heart thumped faster. You leaned your head on the door as well, closing your eyes as well and smiled.

“I love you more Baekhyun.”

Baekhyun swallowed, his throat feeling dry and was about to say something else when Kyungsoo walked in yelling, “Ya! What are you doing here?! The wedding starts in an hour and you’re not even ready yet!!”

You drew your head back from the door in shock. “You’re not ready yet Baekhyun!?”

Baekhyun looked between the door and Kyungsoo and laughed nervously.

“You idiot!” Kyungsoo yelled and walked over to Baekhyun in long strides and pulled his ear and dragged him away. “Come on and hurry up!”

“But I was talking to (y/n)!” he yelled in desperation.

“Shut up!” his friend said and soon Baekhyun was whipped away from the room.

You smacked yourself on your forehead. How could someone be so excited for their own wedding that they forgot to get dressed themselves??

You sighed and went back to sit on the sofa and began to wait for (b/f/n)’s return in anxiousness.

But slowly by slowly, a smile began to break over your face and you soon found yourself giggling, and then soon blown out laughing at Baekhyun’s silly nature.

And you couldn’t wait to deal with it for the rest of your life.

“Baekhyun oh my God STOP YOU’RE GOING TO GET SICK.”

Snatching the tenth plate of cake away from your now official husband, you watched as Baekhyun let out a childish whine and tried to get his cake back from you.

It had already been at least half an hour since you and Baekhyun gave your vows and were officially dubbed husband and wife. Since then, everyone has been enjoying themselves with food from the huge spread and buffet that was laid out for everyone attending the wedding.

Unfortunately for Baekhyun, rather than starting on his dinner like a proper adult, he dove in straight for the cake, which was handed out since the beginning of dinner time.

“(Y/N) GIVE IT BACK!” Baekhyun the big baby yelled out, reaching over your head to snag his cake back and you moved the cake even further away from him.

“I swear if this cake spills on my dress I will divorce you right here and now.”

“Hmph. That’s not what you were saying earlier, Miss ‘I-vow-to-love-you-no-matter-what-happens’.”

“Baekhyun!”

The rest of the people present who were eating watched in amusement at the newly wedded couple from their tables that were placed in front of the hall where both families and friends of the wedded couple were seated.

After a while of childish fighting, Baekhyun got his cake back and happily began to eat it and you just gave him a weird look.

“Don’t you want any dinner?” you asked him in confusion. “The cake’s not gonna make you feel full.”

Baekhyun pondered for a while, spoon dangling from his mouth as he thought about it.

“Hmm.” He hummed, placing his plate back down carefully and dropping his spoon on it and tapped his chin in a playful way. He looked at you while smirking.

“I couldddd….” He said and leaned in to whisper in your ear.

“Or I could be full when I eat you out later tonight~”

Baekhyun pulled back and wiggled his eyebrows and you gasped and slapped his shoulder and yelled profanities at him for mentioning such a lewd thing at such a time, all while failing to notice the blush on your face increasing by every second.

Baekhyun was far too busy laughing at your bashful expression.

You glared at him, hoping that your face would stop burning. “That’s it, I demand a divorce!!”

Baekhyun’s smile widened and he waved his finger in front of your face and booped your nose. “Too late~ I’m yours forever hehe~”

You couldn’t help but smile back and you laughed in disbelief. “I’m seriously going to have to handle your childish attitude for the rest of my life aren’t I?”

Baekhyun threw up one hand in the air and did a dramatic pose. “But off course my dear!”

Suddenly Chanyeol stood up and called for everybody’s attention.

“Lads and lassies!” he called out, successfully getting everyone’s eyes on him. He had a big grin on his face as he raised his glass in the air. “As the groom’s best man, I would like to share a toast with everyone to honor the new couple, so can everyone please raise their glasses?”

Everyone smiled and raised their glasses and you watched as the younger children and babies raised their cups full of juices.

You smiled as you watched the young ones, a fluttering feeling erupting in your chest at the idea of soon having children of your own in the future.

You felt someone grabbing your hand and you looked to your right to see Baekhyun looking down at your intertwined hands.

“Don’t worry,” he said smiling as he looked up at you and brought your hand up to give it a kiss. “We’ll soon have our own.”

You smiled and nodded, he must’ve noticed your longing gaze towards the children. You leaned forward and gave Baekhyun a loving kiss. “I can’t wait.” You said, whispering against his lips.

You pulled back, feeling happier than ever as you and Baekhyun looked back at Chanyeol.

You both watched as he nodded at the guests and then raised his glass towards where you two sat, watching as a big happy smile was painted on his face.

“A toast.” Chanyeol began and you could hear the pure happiness that leaked through his words. “To my best friend and his beautiful wife. I wish you both all the happiness in the world, as I think you people deserve it the most. I pray that your future is bright, and that you two will not only bring happiness to those around you, but to each other as well. I can’t name a cuter couple than the two of you, and I hope you can bring us even cuter children as well.”

At the end you and Baekhyun were a blushing mess and the crowds were all laughing heartily and then Chanyeol yelled out, “To Mr Byun!” everyone cheered and raised their glasses towards Baekhyun.

Chanyeol’s eyes moved to yours and you nodded your head in gratitude, the smile never leaving your face.

Chanyeol nodded back and winked at you and raised his glass towards you.

“And to Mrs Byun.”

More cheers filled the area as everyone toasted to you as well and you all began to clap and you and Baekhyun bowed at everyone in thanks.

“I told you that you would look beautiful in silver.”

You looked at Baekhyun, watching him as he stared at you lovingly as he inspected you from head to toe. “It feels like I’m marrying a princess straight from a fairy tale.”

You snorted. “If I’m the princess than you must be my knight in shining, silver armor.”

Your husband grinned. “I prefer prince actually.”

Baekhyun turned to face you, his own glass in hand. He looked at you and beamed. “Shall we have a toast as well, my princess?”

You laughed and raised your own. “We may, my handsome prince.”

As you both brought your glasses to clink together, Baekhyun brought his glass forward to hit with yours a bit too fast, resulting his clear drink to spill a little on your dress.

Both of you froze as you watched the liquid slowly soak into your dress, and then you looked up at each other.

Baekhyun laughed nervously as a guilty smile etched its way on his lips. “Haha… woops?”

You glared at him.

“I demand a divo-”

“(Y/n) nooooo I love you please don’t leave me!!”

You let out a yell when Baekhyun suddenly threw his hands around you and you tried to make sure that none of you ended up falling down from your chairs.

Looking after this man child was going to be interesting for sure.

The End <3

DEATH CITY DAYS CHAPTER 15

if I could describe this chapter in two words; those words would be ‘chaos’ and ‘madness’

Arthur: "Yeah, that's your story..." maki: i was! Takehisa: (finally puts down his newspaper) "Perhaps if you two actually awoke at a decent hour, Maki would not need to wake you up and interrupt your bed-sharing session." (returns to his paper) maki: o-o;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; iris: ???????????????????? shinra: O__________________________________O Arthur: "..." (takes a piece of toast, flings it at Takehisa) Takehisa: (catches it, chews...) "Needs butter..." shinra: wwwwhere's the commander? Akitaru: "Sorry I'm late..." (enters, lifting weights as he walks in) "Overslept a bit." *Akitaru opens his mouth, Takehisa shoves toast in his mouth as Akitaru keeps lifting weights* -elsewhere- Kid: "Mmm..." stocking: morning kiddo~ Kid: (smiles) "Morning, Beautiful." (kisses her cheek) stocking: hehe~ Kid: (pulls her closer, as he kisses her lips) stocking: mmmmm~ Kid: (slides his hands along her hips, as he kisses along her cheek to her neck) "So soft..." stocking: oooh~ Kid: (slides his hands along her backside) "Have a good sleep?" stocking: yeah. Kid: (smiles) "I'm glad...I guess we have to get out of bed, huh?" -at school- Kid: "I'm really looking forward to Drawing class today." -at lunch- Patty: (holds up her drawing of a gazelle) "See? Zoology class paid off!" liz: and you didnt murder something this time. Patty: "Hee hee hee...Yeah..." Kid: o_o; "Anyway...I'm happy with my progress as well..." stocking: thats a really good drawing. **He drew a sunset from a photograph--as the assignment was drawing from photographs** Kid: (smiles) "Thank you. I like yours as well..." -stocking drew a cemetery scene....its kind of stylized- Kid: "Very well done..." ("...Mother...") stocking:..... *she holds his hand* Kid: (sad smile) "Thank you..." liz: so whats today's agenda? Kid: "Two more classes...not sure what we're doing after class. Perhaps find more items for Little Sister, check on Halloween candy sales..." stocking: and working on costumes~ liz: yeah....i cant believe it's october already... Patty: "Yeah. Just think: it's been years since Kiddo and Stocking had their date at the Halloween Dance! Feels like it was only months ago!" stocking: yeah... so much has happened then.... Kid: "..." (holds her hand, small squeeze) stocking: *she smiles* Kid: "I'm grateful for what we have gained..." (smiles at Patty and Liz) "...including family." liz: *she smiles* Patty: "Yeah...Good thing you got a big mansion, Kid. At this point, I'm surprised we haven't had more people move in." stocking: hehe~ Kid: "We are lucky..." (sigh) "...privileged...Ladies, I know it is early, but I feel like we need to do more when Thanksgiving arrives...There are many of us in Death City that are not as fortunate." liz: how about hosting a big dinner? Kid: (nods) "I think that would be helpful...We should also do something sustainable that can last beyond November. Maybe improvements to shelters and food banks?" stocking: that sounds wonderful. Kid: "I'll inform Mother and Father--they'll be able to tell us what works needs to be done...Father did mention plans to expand parts of the city, so I hope he would include these as part of his plan." liz: maybe we could ask him? Kid: "After classes?" liz: sounds like a plan. --After Class-- Kid: "Father?" lord death: howdy, kiddo! Kid: "...Howdy." (smiles) "How are you?" lord death: doing good, how are you? Kid: "Fine. I was just thinking about your earlier remarks about new planning for Death City...and I had a suggestion." lord death: oh? and that would be? Kid: "...Thanksgiving is coming. Then the winter holidays. Father, many people come to Death City because they have nowhere else to go, and that includes a large homeless population." lord death: i see. Kid: "In your designs for Death City, can you incorporate additional resources for homeless shelters and food banks?" lord death: i think we can do that. *he smiles* Kid: (smiles back) "Thank you. Maybe we can get to work on additional fundraising during the Halloween Dance?" lord death: sounds like a plan! Kid: "Excellent! And I'll have others do all that they can to advertise this plan. Thank you." -elsewhere- Yumi: "Heather?" heather: hmm? oh, hello miss azusa. riley: dont you mean ‘mrs’? Yumi: (small laugh) "Yumi is fine. How has your day been?" heather: doing well. riley: it's cool... Yumi: "That's good...I was wondering whether you all had any plans this weekend." heather: well, our parents are having a date night, and i was planning on studying. riley: i might go to the arcade. Yumi: (nods) "Okay...If you need anything while your parents are on their date, feel free to ask." heather: sure thing. --Elsewhere-- Yohei: "Zzz..." chie: zzzz....... **He is holding her in their sleep** mana: *she opens the door* .......

Nals: (eyeroll) -elsewhere- Ponera: "Grimmy, any updates?" grimoire: they have the being contained and are bringing him back. Ponera: (claps) "Goody! Um...and that...thing that looks like you?" grimoire: behaving... for the most part. Ponera: "I have two questions for you. First, what can we do with him that is actually useful? Second...why does he look like you?" grimoire: not sure, but as for the second question, i suppose index used its 'humanoid avatar' in my likeness. i remember that it was quite fond of me, apparently more so than its creator. Ponera: "...So you must be, like, super old." grimoire: arent we both? Ponera: (flings her hair along her shoulder) "Yeah, but I'm still young compared to other witches. What's your excuse? I never saw that many sorcerers still look all hunky and young at...how old are you, like, 700 years old?" grimoire: about that age, yes. Ponera: (nods) "You look good...Probably better than that guy in the prison cell looks right now..." grimoire: *blush* thanks.... Ponera: (stretches) "Well, time for sleep..."

How do I fit into your plans of 'human advancement' or whatever?" luka: allow me to explain, our goal is to tap into humanity's full potential. since dokeshi can use more than the normal percent of their brain, they might just be the link we need to create the ultimate humans. NoFix: "Tch. You act like Dokeshi ain't already the ultimate humans." (stretches) "But if it's perfection you're looking for, you came to the right person." (winks at Luka) "I'm perfection itself." luka:..........right, anyway. NoFix: (pouts) Solence: (whimpering) ?????: *comes up behind solence* do you have a moment to spare, sir?

NoFix: "I like being bit! It's not like there are any side effects to a Clown bite, right?" luka: if you get clown blood in your blood stream, you kiiinda turn into a clown when you die. NoFix: "..."

"Any idea what is wrong?" ryuuko: i didnt get too many details, all i heard is that she called in sick. or rather commander burns called in to say she is sick... Arthur: "I see..." ("Why did he call in? Is she feeling that badly that she couldn't herself?") shinra: .................. Arthur: "...Hey, Shinra? Can you let the commander know I will be late getting back to the station? I think I'll stop by to see how Tamaki is recovering." shinra: ok then. Arthur: "...Thanks."

Kid: "I will direct Father to let us organize our team and get transportation ready...I think we should depart in three days." liz: good idea. Patty: (frowns) "Valcona is going to be hot, isn't it?" liz: it is a fire region. we'll have to talk to hibana about getting a secure route. Kid: (nods) "And perhaps bring in additional members of the Fire Brigade. Wait, where is Hibana? Still in custody?" liz: yeah. Kid: "Hmm...I guess we're seeing her in prison then?" -the holding facility is actually quite nice.- Hibana: "Hmph. This is torture. I can't even get my favorite tea." (rings bell) "Oh, guard!

Let me think--No." (turns back to her book) Kid: "?!" (looks to Liz) liz: hibana? i am such a huge fan! Hibana: "...Really?" liz: yeah, your perfumes are just to die for! Hibana: (smiling) "Well, that goes without saying. Tell me, which is your favorite?" -later- Kid: "...Liz, you are amazing." liz: awww, no biggie. *rubs knuckles against her shirt* Kid: (holds something) "I'm surprised she gave you a coupon for one dollar off her newest perfume...which still will cost an exorbitant amount of money..." Hibana: (blushing in her cell, smiling) "Hee hee...My fans love me..." gabriella: why wouldnt they? you're the best! Hibana: "Ah, Gabriella, you're making me blush..." (frowns, holds up her glass) "Refill." gabriella: yes ma'am! -later, elsewhere- Yumi: (in the Death Room) "You are approved for transportation."

Good luck." -and so- Kid: "I think we have everything ready." Patty: -_- "I. Hate. Heat." -begin the trek to valcona mountain- Black Star: (singing the Indiana Jones theme) -they landed and continued to the cave entrance by foot- Patty: (grumbling) Kid: (in shirt and slacks) "This is the path Hibana provided, right?" liz: yeah, but they never went further than the path. so i guess this is our way to the sage, then. Kid: (inhales) "Okay. Everyone, we go forward. Meisters, try to sense any soul wavelengths nearby. Weapons, transform so that we are armed." -they trek the path to a cave entrance, someone could be heard inside- Kid: "You hear that?" liz: sounds like....hammering metal? Kid: "..." (looks inside the cave entrance...) -seems a shadow can be seen hammering something- Kid: "..." < > Approach < > Continue exploring <continue to search the area, you might find items!> Kid: (spots something along one wall) -obtained 1 fire stone- Kid: "...Hmmm...I wonder what can be done with this..." -a few fire blossoms were added to the inventory- Kid: (smells something...looks around another corner Patty: "Whatever it is, it smells good..." **Someone is cooking a meal** ???: *cooking a steak....with fire magic?* Kid: ("A kitchen?"

Kid: (signals to others to not withdraw their weapons, enters) ????: so what brings you our way? we dont get visitors too often, and usually they just come for buisness matters dealing with my son. Kid: "We are here seeking the advice of the Fire Sage." ???: ah, i see. you just dig on in kiddos. MARZE HONEY! YOU HAVE VISITORS! Kid: (spoons up some of the soup) " 'Marze'?" ???: my other son. he inherited the title from his father, god rest his soul. Kid: "Oh..."

'Bongos'? Has this person met my father?") "Um...Okay..." marze: *he begins to play* -obtained the mountain mambo- Patty: "Ooooo, that's a good tune!" (claps) -later- Kid: "I wonder how this tune will help us find the next Sage..." liz: we'll need to find the forest sage.... and a new sky sage...

Yohei: "...If he were human, he'd get the key to the city. But since he's a Dokeshi..." chie: oh................. Yohei: "...Screw her. That mayor's just covering her ass." chie: ...............we're not monsters....... Yohei: "..." (hugs her) chie:.....*teary eyed* thanks.... Yohei: "You're welcome. Come on--let's get take-out. Useless over here we'll be starving when he wakes up." chie: *chuckles* hey now. Yohei: (chuckling, jokingly) "Come on--he's asleep.

Kana: *sniff* eternal feather:....*she hugs kana* Kana: (cries quietly) -a few days passed- Spirit: "First Vegas, now the Kishin...What's the connection?" nygus: it's still sketchy... according to the reports we got, most of those infected from the hysteria dont recall the incident, and others just suffered physical pain before it went away... Spirit: "Did you find anything similar to Shaula Gorgon's venom in their systems?" nygus: those who were infected did react from it, but it seems to have went away now, for the most part. but a few students, such as Meme Tatane, did recall what they saw. it must have triggered a hallucination for them. Spirit: "...What did she see?" nygus:......................vivid nightmares.... Spirit: *sighs* "Any other similarities between those who suffered from the madness but were not previously possessed by Shaula?" nygus: there were reports of physical pain from soul, justin, one 'charlotte muffet', and some others. stein, kid and chrona were affected as well... Spirit: "...Soul, Stein, Kid, and Crona have suffered from madness before...I don't understand why for Justin...Anyone yet question this Muffet?" nygus: we tried, but her boyfriend didnt seem too pleased with us.

Nals: "I don't know...From how she described it, that sensation of...madness, magic, whatever you want to call it...it seemed far more powerful than even her." milia:........ Nals: "..."
