~♥TWENTY-THREE♥~

[Action // LucetiLand Option A]

[So Masaomi Kida arrives back from his Mallynap in LucetiLand. He's actually disoriented at first. And... shirtless. This is an awkward thing because of his hot pink wings which are almost never showing to people in Luceti because he tends to wear them under his hoodie. At least he has pants. He'll be disoriented, confused...

Help a guy out? Later on, he'll have collected himself somewhat and as a result produce the following short voice call to tell people he's okay:]

[Voice]

Ladies! I'm baaaaa~ck.

[Yes, that will suffice]

[Action // LucetiLand Option B]

[For the remainder of the day (now wearing a novelty T-shirt he won in a game but still with those stupid wings exposed) Masaomi will be around LucetiLand. Hitting on girls, Flirting. Stuff like that! Chatting up guys, hanging out. ...Possibly trying to get into that hotel later

This post is super open, have at. Masaom is largely unharmed from his Mallynap, aside from one tiny Mallynap effect: every time he laughs in a way that is somehow forced, he'll turn into an earthworm. Right there. And he'll change back! In a minute.]

[Gah, handgrab! Well... she doesn't think anything of it, just recovers from him pulling her off balance to run along with him. There's something joyous about it, though she figures she should offer up a token protest.]

Masaomi - where we going?

[generalflirt]

To a ride I figured suited us juuust fine!

[Tugging her along, that is. Weeeee. Or well, he tries and is glad she isn't resisting too much]

[markofthebrave]

All right, all right!

[And she runs along with him, smiling.]

[generalflirt]

[And then... well, there's much running, some grinning, and much elation before- Here they are! The Tunnel of Love (and Justice)]

Here.

[markofthebrave]

[Panting and smiling a little from their madcap run, Katara lets go of his hand and steps up to read the sign.]

The Tunnel of Love and Justice? What kind of a ride is this?

[generalflirt]

A... good one?

[...She doesn't know. score]

[markofthebrave]

[And Katara... really isn't skeptical at all, sadly.]

All right, let's try it!

[generalflirt]

Alright!!

[And he leaps up towards the boat! Hoping she'll follow]

[markofthebrave]

[Sure she'll follow. Tunnels and boats! What could go wrong?]

At least we won't have to worry about wolfbats.

[generalflirt]

...What do that even look like?

[He said as they're getting right up - they just need to wait for a boat to come in]

[markofthebrave]

Well, their face looks kind of like a wolf, and they're nearly the size of one, but they have wings and live in caves.

[And there's the boat!]

[generalflirt]

...Seriously?

[...What the hell. He blinks, but then slides on over to hold the door open to the boat for her]

[markofthebrave]

[She blinks a little in surprise - someday she'll get used to that - but goes on ahead, smiling at him in gratitude when she does so.]

Yeah. We ran into a whole pack of them once, the last time I was in a tunnel like this.

[generalflirt]

[And he slides in next to her after that. ....And puts a hand around her shoulder. He grins at this, nodding in response to her comment but not trusting himself to speak yet]]

[markofthebrave]

[...why is his hand on her shoulder. She turns to face him as the ride starts, her eyes wide and confused.]

Masaomi?

[Was there something you wanted? Is the ride going to be really fast so you have to hold on? What's this?]

[generalflirt]

[And he looks back with a guiltily smiling expression. Maybe she'll call him on it, but he's in this deep, he's totally going to milk it for what it is. and now, they start to enter the cave. ...which is lit by a faint pink light]

[markofthebrave]

[She gives him a 'Why are you acting so weird' look and scoots a little further away, reaching up to lightly nudge his hand off her. Grabbing a hand to take her somewhere in a rush of excitement is one thing, but Katara's not really one for clinging and this... doesn't feel like something that friends do. It feels awkward, and maybe if it was for a few moments she wouldn't mind it, but... no.

And then she leans forward a little, dismissing it and refusing to allow it to turn awkward, to stare at the entrance of the tunnel.]

It's kind of pretty, huh?

[generalflirt]

[He shrugs his shoulders a little, and gets his hand back in his lap. while she leans forward, he leans back. Smiling. He... knows she probably felt awkward there. Oh well]

I'll say so.

[markofthebrave]

[As they enter the tunnel, the little boat goes through an abrupt drop, no doubt designed to encourage couples to cling to each other at the beginning of the ride. It just makes Katara grab the side, up against the seat again, and grin.

This is totally just a normal ride after all.]

[generalflirt]

[Okay, this is alright. He grins, snickering a bit - honestly! so no worm - as he watches her do that. It's totally just a normal ride]

[markofthebrave]

[...a normal ride with dimming pink light. Katara peers into the distance.]

It looks like it gets pretty dark over there.

[generalflirt]

Who knows? Maybe we'll have some darkness over us after all.

[Yes. This is odd]

[markofthebrave]

[The Tunnel of Love (and Justice) seems to have decided that there is entirely not enough necking going on here - or would have if it was sentient. This really leaves the tunnel with one of two options - scare the young couple into clinging onto each other or start projecting romantic shadow scenes onto the wall.

The first wall-projection is quite lovely and innocent - a balcony, a young lady with streaming hair, and a suitor climbing up a train of ivy to the balcony.]

Ooh. That's nice.

[generalflirt]

Ah... that is a sweet, isn't it?

[And he glances to the opposite wall - now featuring a man on a horse galloping - presumably towards that tower in the distance. Maybe that's supposed to be part one and they looked at part 2 first? He considers it]

[markofthebrave]

[The next scene is of a couple dancing. It's a dramatic pose and Katara is impressed.

If.

Starting to get a vague suspicion about this tunnel.]

Oh, is that a specific kind of dance?
