Paper Faces on Parade

[happysweets]

[ Okay, so, assuming everyone got a crossword and an invite on Tuesday, one would assume that pretty much everyone knows that Misa's planning something. A sign on the door of the music room will indicate as much, a nice big "KEEP OUT PLEASE ♥" to make sure everything's set up just right before the festivities start. The tables are set up just right for snacks and all, the stage is set, the room is even decorated with hand-made streamers and lots of bright ribbons from the art room! When Misa goes hard, she goes hard, apparently. The floor isn't exactly a dance floor, but it should be nice enough that people can dance if they want to, and though she had a really hard time pushing everything around to make the perfect amount of space, it looks like it's about as good as it's going to get.

The guests'll be happy to know there aren't any penalty snacks this time around; nothing set out on the table looks gross or horribly out of place like at Truth or Dare. Everything looks pretty cute, actually; between the desserts and the actual cocktails set out, she and Aqua kind of outdid themselves in terms of meal planning. As for the host herself, she'll obviously be running around too, making sure everything's going okay; one would think that between prepping the food and the party itself, she wouldn't have much time to get herself all dolled up, but a model always has to look her best! And Misa certainly isn't giving anything less than 110 percent, between her short black dress and her ma-- jesus Misa save some glitter for everyone else

In any case, the party is definitely intended to be a late-night affair! And all are welcome, so feel free to come in and dance the night away! Misa even has a bunch of masks in different colors made for people who didn't have time to make one themselves, so don't be shy to grab one and have fun! ]

That job's also under your dislikes. Isn't it?

[penduli]

It's complicated.

[captainobnoxious]

You shouldn't do a job you dislike. I was lucky enough to be born into something I can put my heart and soul into, but people like you should go after what you really enjoy.

[Crossdressing.]

[penduli]

I like it—and the people—well enough, it just... reminds me of losing my parents three years ago, that's all. Especially since Casters are specifically tasked with making sure the barrier stays up, alongside investigating what caused it in the first place. [ He took after his parents, so.

He gets that lovely job too. ...and like, there's a few other reasons, but those aren't important. ]

[captainobnoxious]

[Oh......]

Well, that sucks. Maybe you can take it as a side job then. To relieve your stress.

[penduli]

[ Uh.............. ]

I appreciate the concern, but I'm going to have to turn down that suggestion, too.

[captainobnoxious]

You should be as confident as my mess of a boyfriend is.

[Look at him go. Look at him. Wow. That's what she's dating, willingly, still.]

He wasn't always a star, you know, he actually had a very humble beginning of...

[captainobnoxious]

I have no idea if I'm allowed to tell you. But it was really the opposite of what he's doing now. Like, could not be more different. It was also a family business.

[penduli]

My opinion hasn't changed.

[captainobnoxious]

Suit yourself. Just keep an open mind for when you get out of here and need a little something to keep your moods high. Like people thinking you're good looking in skirts.

... You really pull it off well too, like with the manners and junk? It's a little impressive.

[Considering..... she would not.]

[penduli]

I had a sister growing up, Miss Sigrun. White might've been a tomboy, but she didn't sit like a man.

[ ...most of the time. And also, he's a very polite young man, he doesn't even take up more space than he needs to ordinarily. ]

[captainobnoxious]

I don't see why you couldn't though. It looks airy enough in my opinion.

[penduli]

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. [ ... ] And it's considered indecent to flash your underwear at everyone, generally speaking.

[captainobnoxious]

It's their fault if they're looking.

[Just sayin'.]

Are you... going to dance with anyone?

[penduli]

[ SIGRUN... ]

...probably not, no. I'm a little busy tonight. [ What with his piano playing and his cocktail sipping and his writing. ] What about you?

[captainobnoxious]

Not interested.

[... She had her one embarrassing dance, okay.]

[penduli]

[ ..... ]

You seemed to have fun dancing with Mettaton. [ SO VERY

VERY

VERY INNOCENTLY SAID. ] Are you sure?

[captainobnoxious]

[don't make her relive that it was nice she's just

gonna sit down next to black and grab him in a headlock. And noogie him hard.]

Positive. He had my only dance of the night because I don't do dances like this. Even if he wants a second one I'm not falling for it.

[penduli]

[ he knows he deserves this but it doesn't suck any less ]

Ahh I—see, I see—can you please stop, Miss Sigrun?

[captainobnoxious]

[A few more seconds of it and she'll let him go, leaning full-tilt against him now.]

I'm so happy I want to punch someone.

[penduli]

[ O H.................]

...we have a dojo so you can take out some of your punching there? [ Not... not on him... ]

[captainobnoxious]

I probably will! Later! But I can hold it in for now. It's, you know, a nice feeling.

[Kind of weird for a woman her age to be having but really like knows no age or however the fuck it goes.]

I think I could maybe get used to it? Do you feel like punching something around the guy you like too?

[penduli]

Not really, no. [ He's dying but he can't even complain. ] Usually I feel like I've gotten punched.

[ ...that's pleasant, right. ]

[captainobnoxious]

[...]

But in a good way?

[penduli]

How could that ever be in a good way?
