~♥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.]

[...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?

[generalflirt]

So it seems! I recognize it, but I don't know the name. Ah... such is the way of most things.

[markofthebrave]

[She tilts her head to keep looking at it as the boat goes on.]

I've never seen a dance like that before. [A little nostalgia creeps in now.] It's been a long time since I've danced.

[generalflirt]

Really? I think you'd be good at it.

[Which is to say, he expected her to do it more. He looks around a bit too, but he keeps glancing back to look at her looking around]

[markofthebrave]

[A quick, pained smile.] I only really danced the once. I was nervous, but I had a good partner.

[generalflirt]

Hm? What sort of partner is that?

[Wait, maybe that's the wrong thing to ask as romantic music starts to play]

[markofthebrave]

[Oooh, what pretty music!] Aang. [As if that explains everything, an to her mind, it does.]

[...but there are no musicians. She glances around for the source, but.]

Where's that music coming from?

[generalflirt]

From... the walls! Speakers!

[The Aang bit perplexes him a bit, but he chalks it up to someone back home. Which... well. He has someone too]

[markofthebrave]

Speakers? [That's... vaguely familiar.] Huh.

It's very pretty.

[And is that a shadow projection of a single rose?]

[generalflirt]

[Haha. A rose...] Isn't it? One might say that it befits the name of the ride.

[markofthebrave]

[...and there's that thing. That thing that she was trying to do you a favor and not think about, Masaomi.

That thing that she doesn't really have a choice about thinking about since when she turns to look at him, the shadow cut out behind him is one of a rather intimate kiss. Katara blushes a little before wrenching her gaze back to Masaomi.]

And what about that one? Does that 'befit the name of the ride' too?

[generalflirt]

[He's blushing too, but tries to keep a straight (smiling) face.] Poss..ibly.

[He leans away from her a bit! Yeah, if he doesn't say anything to make it awkward then it's not awkward! Yeah! He'll just keep up this bravado, despite there now being heart-shaped "fish" leaping out of the water like dolphins.

Wow, they pulled out all the stops]

[markofthebrave]

...

[Katara just. Starts laughing.

If 'Oh my God' was in her vocabulary, that would be what she'd be saying.]

[generalflirt]

[...

Okay he starts to laugh too. This is going better than expected. But when he laughs it is a bit forced, so he vanishes. And there is now a worm in the seat he was in]

[markofthebrave]

Gah!

[Very articulate, Katara.]
