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!

[Double-takes, because were they awful? No, they all seem pretty harmless...]

You could punch me if you need that square. [I'm pretty sure I could take it.]

I don't want to punch anyone! [ or kiss them, or spread a rumor about them, or flirt with them, or... ]

Be more ruthless, Miss Madoka! Her majesty's kingdom is at stake!

It's all right if we've agreed to it beforehand, isn't it?

[personal profile] bydesign 2015-08-16 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Um... I guess so...

[ Eehh... Have... The weakest baby punch to your shoulder that you've ever felt. Was it light on purpose? Is she actually just that wimpy?? WHO KNOWS ]

[Great! Wait, hang on-]

Is that the box you wanted, though?
bydesign: (Worthless?! Ha! Ha! Ha!)

[personal profile] bydesign 2015-08-16 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
... I've only filled out two of them, now, to be honest.

What ones did you still need?

[personal profile] watertabled 2015-08-17 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
I-

'Tell a Story'? [And some other stuff, but maybe not... awful things, with you.]

[personal profile] bydesign 2015-08-17 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll happily hear your story!

All right, this one is a little mean, but I heard from somewhere reliable that it's true. Many fish were gathered in the sea, discussing which among them was the fastest. The argument grew ugly and furious, and the sole which thought highly of itself, was the rudest of all. At last they decided to settle things with a race. When the sole was beaten by the common herring, it's mouth twisted in shame, [Kohaku twists his mouth in mimicry], and that is why sole these days look as though they've swallowed something unpleasant.

... These days, I think the eel might win, but it wasn't there at the time.

Thank you for listening.

Why don't we do at least one more? What else do you need?
bydesign: <lj user="battlerstears"> ((hangs up))

[personal profile] bydesign 2015-08-17 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Of course.

Well... I've got "share your dreams," and that row has a free space. So anything else in that row would be easiest.

[He considers this for a moment, and then considers her, and finally walks off without a word. He comes back with a handful of sweets from the buffet table which he drops on the table between them, and very deliberately watches a far corner of the room. It's extremely unsubtle, but he's very practiced at keeping a straight face.]

[ Madoka has to take a moment to giggle, trying to hide it behind her hand. Then reaches over to take a piece of candy and pop it in her mouth. ]

All mine. [ She crosses that one off on her chart. ]
watertabled: (01derful)

[personal profile] watertabled 2015-08-17 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
What was that? [He turns back to her, grinning a little.]

Nothing, nothing. I think you're hearing things.

That must be it.
