video; un: diva

[colorature]

It's going to be my birthday soon! August fourth, to be exact!

_{[Yes, hello. Sorry Nysa once again for being subjected to Diva. Here she is, the backdrop of her video one of the Nadril caves, (pre-lit thanks to the natives), which wouldn't be anything special if it didn't look so...warm. Diva's wearing nothing more than a simple white dress with blue accents and upon closer inspection at what's behind her there's green growing on the cave floor, along with what looks to be a hardy species of wildflower peeking out from various cracks in the rocky floor.]}

I'm going to be a hundred and seventy...um..._{[Yes, you heard her right.]} a hundred and seventy five? Maybe six or seven? I don't really know exactly but you can't fit that many candles on a cake so does it really matter?

_[Haha.]

Anyway! I found this really warm cave and I want to have a masquerade party in it! My lover helped me barter for food, instruments and even drinks! I also found an old record player with a few records, but I'm not sure how to use it...Surely someone can figure it out, no?

_{[And if you don't believe her - wait for it - she'll show off her hoard of goodies. There are indeed a few crates of food items, bottles of various types of alcohol and even what appears to be an old upright piano and a few acoustic guitars and one or two other unopened instrument cases. There also seems to be a box full of various fancy party masks as well. Yep, she wasn't joking.]}

I need singers, musicians, dancers, cooks, people who can mix drinks and others willing to do some heavy lifting! I have a box of decorations too so if you've an eye for decor I want your assistance as well!

_{[Anyone want to blow up some balloons?]}

You don't have to worry about dressing too fancy and as long as I don't want to kill you you're invited so please do come and RSVP!

_{[ooc: mingle now up!]}

i hope so!!!
youre coming right

[shikomizue]

I wouldn't miss it.

Festivities are always fun, in the most unexpected of ways. [He likes parties.

And also, he's curious if something will go wrong - but in the very least he has some sort of warmth for Diva, so he won't ruin things himself.]

You'll be showered in gifts, I'm sure.
What are you hoping to get?

[colorature]

solomon will be there
he wont be wearing white either
exciting right

i dont know if ill be showered in them...
im not hoping for anything in particular but it would be nice to get something pretty
but ill be happy with anything i think

[shikomizue]

[he didnt ask about solomon WOW why would he care!?]

How did you convince him of that?
I'll look forward to seeing whatever it is he's wearing.
Will he match you?

Something pretty would suit you.
It's okay to be greedy, you don't have to sound so humble.
It's your birthday.

[colorature]

i told him i wanted to match

are you going to give me something pretty then

[shikomizue]

How easily he listens to you.
Make him dance at your party - I'm sure everyone could use the laugh.

Of course.
Trust me to spoil you, at least.

[colorature]

of course he does
im his queen did you forget
hes actually quite a good dancer

i know
im glad you spoil me

[shikomizue]

Does he complain, even when he listens?
That's too bad. [he wanted solomon to do the embarrassing white guy shuffle]

You prefer blood over wine, don't you?

[colorature]

hes not really a complainer
why is that disappointing

of course I do

[shikomizue]

[Sounds fake. Solomon complains compulsively. Though, grating as the man's pettiness is, Takasugi wouldn't trade positions with Diva. Having him obey every word seems dull.]

Don't you want to see him embarrass himself?
Sounds fun.

Then I won't bring anything to drink.
Unless you'd like to step aside and feed.
How many at your party would let you take from them?

[colorature]

_{[He doesn't obey every word though. If anything he usually tries to twist and talk his way out of things.]}

not really...hes an extention of myself
that would reflect poorly on me

_{[Not that she doesn't like to make him feel ridiculous. She's just not into public humiliation.]}

i dont know...but im trying not to be bloody at my party

[shikomizue]

[yeah, that sounds more like him]

I see.
Even if you're not around?

[Takasugi concedes the birthday shaming of Solomon Goldsmith, but if she expects him to maintain decorum even outside of her presence...

Well, he probably thinks he's doing a good enough job of it.]

I'll bring something for you to clean up with.

[colorature]

i have faith that he conducts himself properly

you will? ahh but i really probably shouldnt...

[shikomizue]

You must.

Who would take issue with it? I've consented, and you aren't going to leave me a strewn bloody mess.

[colorature]

i know but...

maybe away from the festivities

[shikomizue]

That's fine.

I'll find a secluded place, just for us.

[this has just become flirting]

[colorature]

just the two of us
i didnt realize you were into it
being bit

[shikomizue]

I'm not.

I simply can't help but indulge you. [her violent side]

[colorature]

if you indulge me too much you might regret it

[shikomizue]

I doubt that.

What would I regret?

[colorature]

youre the type of man who touches a hot burner to see if its on

i might kill you someday

without meaning to

[shikomizue]

Only if someone tells me not to.

I could say the same to you.
That's no reason to avoid each other's desires.
