Who: You, you, and you!
When: Day 1, evening
Where: Outside of town, a ways over there
What: A labyrinth in the form of a social bingo!

[later that day you hear that obnoxious horn sound, the one that would be sounded when they discovered a labyrinth. you follow this sound past the town and wind up at a set of stairs leading into the the ground. by these stairs is a sign reading HEAD ON IN. though you might normally be inclined to dilly dally, you're inexplicably drawn to walk down those stairs...]

[the stairs leading down to this "labyrinth" are absolutely grandeur. when you reach the foot of the steps, you become dressed to the nines in some kind of formal wear, like what you'd wear to a fancy ball... which would explain the room before you: you've stepped into a large ballroom. ballad music plays, tables line the wall, and is that a complimentary buffet table next to the wet bar? on the far back wall of this space are a pair of double doors, settled underneath an inaccessible balcony.]

My, my, my, my, m~y!

[a voice rings out from above—and an indistinguishable figure appears on that balcony, looking down at you with a hungry grin; their low voice is upbeat, but oddly smooth]

I've never had guests before! Oh, but you weren't invited... Tsk, tsk! Why, a bunch like you look like you could cause me problems... How troublesome! Oh, troublesome indeed! Still, unlike that royal kindergartener, I am actually kind enough to throw you a party! She didn't do that for you, now, did she? Hahahaha!

[they're still laughing when a bingo card materializes in your hand. between their laughter and constant chatter, they don't seem to be giving you much room to say anything. when their laughter stops, they speak again, their voice taking on a grisly tone]

If I'm going down, I want entertainment, you hear me? And there's only one way I want to go... Do you know BINGO? Must I spell it? Remind you that it's his NAME-O? Ha! You must do what you can to complete a row, or two rows, or the WHOLE CARD! If you do well, you'll earn more than just my dear palace's erasure...!

[they laugh, their laughter growing louder by the second, resonating through the spacious room—then it abruptly stops. just as quickly as that "person" appeared, they disappear, leaving behind nothing but a cloud of black smoke that quickly dissipates into thin air]

I'm watch~ing! ♫

[ Well here's someone who looks perfectly at home in their stuffy attire. Totally not bothered by the heavy cape or extra layers. Some of the entries on the bingo card are far more concerning than the overtly fancy outfit, tbh. ]

What a strange set of rules and requests.

You look . . . . nice. Lotsa blue there.

[ a beat ]

Yeahhh, it is pretty strange, isn't it? A lot less messier than trying to fight a whole building though, you know?

Oh, thank you. You look quite handsome yourself; it suits you.

[ Not that he knows anything but, practice with ideal chatter and all of that. ]

And I'm not sure if it's messier but it's certainly different. Honestly, I was expecting to do quite a bit of fighting.

Tch...how many capes are there here?

[ He normally wouldn't have much room to talk considering his usual get-up, but right now he looks more normal, albeit fancier. ]

Quite a few of us from the looks of it.

How unfortunate.

Is it? I don't see how it's necessarily a bad thing.

They're usually the sign of some kind of hero.

Really? [ Hmm... ]

I suppose so. I'm more familiar with them being used for royalty.

[ with a somewhat similiar attire, the king is going to peer at this bingo card ]

At least it's mostly harmless.

Certainly so however...some of them are a bit personable for a first meeting.

[ See any of the ones involving kissing. Just how loose did they expect them to be here? ]

We can aim to avoid those squares, then. I don't plan on getting too friendly with anyone here at the party, aside from you.

[ at least, not that form of friendly ]

Well, I should hope that you don't plan on being that friendly with anyone else aside from me.

[ Not that he's jealous or anything. ]

Are you really questioning my fidelity after all this time, my dear queen?

[ Of course, the last bit is kept a bit more on the quiet side. Let's remain as common folk as possible here. ]

Of course not. It's just a word of caution seeing that there might be others who might be a bit more on the demanding end.

[ It...strangely comforting hearing "my dear queen" come from his mouth even though they're using their names now. ]

As if I'm really the type to roll over to someone being demanding.

[ Unless it's you, tacked on the end. And no matter where they are, what names they go by, Arthur will always be his queen. With a lot more meaning than just some forced upon title. ]

No, if anything you'd be the one doing the demanding.

[ He's teasing mainly because no worries; he totally got the unmentioned "unless it's you" that was there and yet not. ]

I can be reasonable.

[ Sometimes. Maybe. We think?? If the situation demands it, at least... ]

Does this mean you've accepted me being demanding with you, though?

Mostly when it seems to favor you. [ Let's be real here. ]

But only for the rare [ ""rare"" ] occasion.

When it also favors out kingdom. I wouldn't put myself before my subjects. [ Aside from those moments where he would actually fall and the kingdom might be screwed without him. But you know! You get the drift. ]

I'll slowly work that to be more often.

I should hope not. [ Those moments are thankfully few and far between. ]

You can try but don't think I'll start to give in more.

Oh hey, we're both in blue.

Did you get your flower job?

Seems like it. It's a good colour.

And I did—did you manage to get your job at the library?

I did! I think I'll like my job.

[this girl, wearing a red cocktail dress, pointedly jabs at her bingo card with her index finger, yelling for no reason]

Insulting! Completely strange! Mostly insulting!
