🦋 The Party

You wake up at a party.

You're not sure how, exactly, you got here. You may have just been walking in the woods or at a meeting for work or doing any other normal activity for you. But you know you weren't supposed to be at this party, you're fairly certain.

Anyone you ask about it will say the party is for you. You and the others also waking up and looking confused. Further questions will lead to the partygoers insisting you have something to eat. You're starving and others are eating the food without repercussion, so you figure there's no harm in a bite. You finish your portion.

It's a garden party at the crack of dawn, with the sun still in its early stages of climbing through the yonder, casting a good mix of pastel hues of blue, pink, and beige on everything. Heralding the first day of spring, the Ruler of the Spring Court has found it fitting to arrange this gathering where guests can feel the blades of grass touching their ankles, as well as the rich soil beneath their feet. Flowers of all kinds surround the party as if they were carefully curated. With spring as the "dawn of seasons," which marks a transition from winter's latency to the resurgence of life everywhere, the Ruler of the Dawn Court has also seen it fit to host aspects of this party during the one time of the year that dawn occurs the whole day. Tall candles and torches grace the outskirts of the garden party, providing warmth and an orange glow everywhere. Not one flame goes out even with the occasional wind, the Duchess always makes sure of this.

There are also freshly picked blossoms and branches with leaves on every table accenting the festive spread of food and drinks. This time, a lot of the food prepared for the Adopted guests are familiar to them with a little bit of a twist. Burgers might come in small packages and in toothpicks, while hotdogs in buns are also diminutive. Cookies look delectable but they have a flowery flavor to them, as if eating freshly picked daisies or daffodils. Fruits that may have been present in an Adopted's home, such as pineapples and watermelons, have seeds in odd places. Picking this selection of food is an attempt to be more welcoming and to appease the lovely guests the fae have invited.

As the party winds down and everyone's eaten, a tall, stately woman stands up and speaks. You feel her voice more than hear it.

I am the Lawspeaker of the Fae, elected by Seelie and Unseelie alike, and you are all, now, subjects of Faerie. You cannot leave this realm once you have eaten our food, and even if you could, there is no saying how much time has passed back where you're from. Your loved ones are likely dead, your problems have likely played out. We require assistance in various matters, and each of you has been chosen for your talent and skill. You will be adopted by one of the Seelie or Unseelie Courts based on your strengths and personality. Your Court will decide what to do with you from there.

As suddenly as she stood, she sits back down.


🦋 Chance at a Dance

A party is not complete without dancing, of course, and while during the last gathering held for the Adopted, different fae danced to music exclusively for them around a glowing tree, this time they are insisting their guests to join in.

This is a party for you, after all.

If the prodding of the different fae hosts won't convince you, perhaps the music will. They play easily recognizable tunes that their wonderful guests must have heard before. These melodies have certain unique effects to their mortal attendees, which are as follows:

  • Upbeat Music: You will believe that you and your dance partner have been friends forever and have known each other a long time.
  • Romantic Music: You will become amorous and flirtatious towards your dance partner.
  • Slow Music: You will develop some tension with your dance partner. It may be negative or sexual; completely up to you.
  • Quiet Music: You will assume your dance partner is a threat and try to fight them.


🦋 Flower Power

At the Spring King's behest, every Adopted should wear a flower corsage or boutonnière to the gathering. After all, this is to celebrate the coming of spring and what better way to do that than to honor everything in bloom.

The thing is, though, the King of Spring, while amorous and friendly, also has a penchant for playing with mortals' memories, if not also affect their desires and despairs.

So, mischievous as he is, he made sure to enchant the different flowers present in every corsage and boutonnière for the party with the effects below:

  • Rose: You will recall a horrific trauma
  • Carnation: You will see a vision of your future, whether it's good or bad
  • Orchid: You will remember a time you lost someone
  • Chrysanthemum: You will believe someone among the Adopted is your soulmate
  • Dahlia: You will believe you betrayed someone important to you, whether you actually did or not

It is perhaps a good thing that no one but the Adopted are allowed to see these visions and memories, but everyone who wears a corsage or boutonnière will be able to see each other's memories and visions when in close enough physical proximity to the vision-haver, for better or for worse.


🦋 GEIS

You feel a vibration in your pocket sometime after the Lawspeaker addresses everyone. When you search for the source, you will pull out your Leaf, the device the Fae use to stay in touch with each other. Anyone who's used a smart phone will easily recognize how it works.

Greetings, Adopted. This is your Lawspeaker.

Tell us all of a time you gave someone a gift. Perhaps a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates. Was it appreciated or not? A reward might await the most meaningful gift given.

[ It's been a pretty shit night. Striker showing up will do that. But hearing that familiar raspy voice makes Blitzø smile genuinely for the first time all night.

Whoever the hell Fizz was talking to doesn't get a chance to answer because Blitzø shoves a hand in their face and pushes them away. ]
Beat it. [ Then he smirks and offers Fizz his hand. ]

I say fuck yes. You know, assuming you can keep from stepping on my hooves as much as when we were twelve.

[personal profile] ribbited 2025-03-25 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Blitzø! Son of a bitch, why am I not surprised you're here? [ His eyes widen as his friend steps into view, relief surging within to see the other imp. He's of course glad to see him for him, but, look - he's gonna be honest, he still doesn't have a clue what's going on and he knows first hand how capable he is after that shit with the cowboy.

And Fizz is an entertainer, hardly a fighter.

He takes the offered hand with a grin of his own and falling into the familiar bickering. ]


Yeah right! I distinctly remember it being the other way around, asshole - you danced like you had two left hooves!
blitzno: (I take my ass back to the zoo)

[personal profile] blitzno 2025-03-25 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Did I? Maybe you're remembering wrong. I mean I did drop you pretty hard when I tried to dip you.

[ He gives the biggest shit eating grin, spins Fizz around, and executes a much more graceful dip. Look, he's learned one or two tricks since they were kids.

His smile drops as he rights Fizz, though he keeps moving through the dance, he does have to ask something serious. ]


Have you eaten or drunk anything here?
ribbited: (pic#17744052)

[personal profile] ribbited 2025-03-29 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
What?? Blitzø, don't you dare - [ Fizz glares as Blitzø spins and dips him, he swears to Satan if he drops him -- ]

Asshole.

[ He hits the other imp's arm with some force, a small smile playing on the corner of his mouth. ]

Yeah, from that fancy spread back there? I did. [ ... ] Wait, why?
blitzno: (bottle feed the cubs)

[personal profile] blitzno 2025-04-04 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Shit.

[ Happy as he is to have Fizz here with him--to have Fizz back in his life at all--he would have spared him getting stuck here if he could. No one deserves that. ]

It's a fucking trap. Once you eat the food you're stuck here. I haven't... figured out how to break free yet.
ribbited: (pic#17744047)

[personal profile] ribbited 2025-04-18 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Whaddya mean we're stuck? Blitzø -- I can't be stuck!

[ His arms fall to his side as he stares at his friend, dance momentarily forgotten. He'd gotten free of Mammon. How has he traded one loss of freedom for another? He has plans! This isn't fair.

Something clicks about the thing that Blitzø had just said. ]


Wait ... why do you sound like you haven't just got here?
blitzno: (karma's come to tap you on the shoulder)

[personal profile] blitzno 2025-04-21 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He sighs dropping his own arms. It would be nice to just have a fun little dance with Fizz, but that's never their life, is it? This is more important. ]

I've been here for like, three months now. It's... pretty bullshit.
ribbited: (pic#17744045)

[personal profile] ribbited 2025-04-24 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Fizz stares. And stares for a moment longer. It hasn't been three months, barely a full month since he'd nearly seen him be executed. ] Three months? But how is that possible? I've seen you not even a few weeks ago!

And I think someone would've told me if you'd just up and went missing all of a sudden!

[ ... right? ]

Oh fuck, Ozzie is gonna be freaking out.
blitzno: (more than the other guy)

[personal profile] blitzno 2025-04-24 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This reaction confirms something that Blitzø had been suspecting for a while: namely, that their lovely hosts are full of shit. He doesn't know what's going on, but clearly the time nonsense they'd mentioned is not so straightforward as "centuries have gone by while you partied might as well give up." Not that he'd been planning on giving up. ]

If he wants to rally the forces of Hell and storm fairyland, I'm not complaining. But there's something fucked up about all this. I saw Stolas and he... doesn't know about the trial.

[ Does Fizz know about the trial? Blitzø supposes he's about to find out. ]
ribbited: (pic#17813244)

[personal profile] ribbited 2025-04-28 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
We're not in Hell, but maybe they could still come. Get us out of here. Whoever's responsible, they can't keep us forever.

[ Maybe??

Fizz wishes he didn't know about the trial, or rather that it never happened in the first place. Cause then he wouldn't have nightmares about the way things could've ended had Stolas not intervened. So Stolas not remembering it when he played a very large part of it is definitely wrong. ]


He doesn't? Shit. So times all fucked up for some reason? How is any of this even possible!

[ he wants to go home where the biggest thing to worry about at the current moment was decorating for the upcoming holiday and what presents to get everyone... ]
