  1. 04[22:58] <@Rigel> * comicInstability PESTERs 'Ames' : (Hey, ya up to anythin right now?)
  2. [22:59] <Ames> * amerciableAlly PESTERs : ( uh, technically not. )
  3. 04[23:00] <@Rigel> * comicInstability PESTERs 'Ames' : (Wanna come over? I've finished a batch a'fireworks, if ya wanted to watch.)
  4. [23:02] <Ames> * amerciableAlly PESTERs "Rigel" : ( sure, why not? )
  5. 04[23:03] <@Rigel> * comicInstability PESTERs 'Ames' : (Also, may conscript ya to help with settin up for the session meetin)
  6. [23:04] <Ames> * amerciableAlly PESTERs "Rigel" : ( ah, chores. of course. )
  7. [23:04] <Ames> * amerciableAlly PESTERs "Rigel" : ( well, better than watching my consorts glitch out. )
  8. 04[23:04] <@Rigel> * comicInstability PESTERs 'Ames' : (Ya don't have to if ya don't wanna)
  9. 04[23:05] <@Rigel> * comicInstability PESTERs 'Ames' : (I think ya know where I live, so I'll meet ya at the livin area?)
  10. [23:07] <Ames> * amerciableAlly PESTERs "Rigel" : ( yeah, i'll see you in a minute. )
  11. [23:09] <Ames> [You side eye your consorts for a moment. They are acting /really/ weird. Then again, they've been living on a steadily rotting peach, soooo. Probably just the fumes? Hopefully?]
  12. [23:11] <Ames> [Anyway, time for that journey to Rigel's spire that is mostly uneventful. You end up on the regular floor in record time and shove all thoughts of the last time you hung out with Rigel out of your head. Funeral make-outs-- what were you even thinking?]
  13. 04[23:14] <@Rigel> [The kitchen/living room is empty, but there is the sound of a low roar coming from a floor above. It's coming from your work room, the electric furnace you have in the corner on a low heat. The room itself is relatively crowded, with a few workbenches, each apparently for a specific thing to make. Swords, fireworks, ect. The sword one is clean and empty save for a sheathed sword, and you're sitting at the firework one, which is much messier.]
  14. [23:22] <Ames> [Oh boy, more stairs. You get to climbing them and take a second to stretch out on the next floor. The room itself catches your attention- everything is sort of neat! ...And warmer than you expected. "Hi?"]
  15. 04[23:23] <@Rigel> [You look over, straightening from where you were working on painting the fireworks in a variety of colours and designs. "Heya Ames. How's it goin." Stretch your hands above your head, your back creaking.]
  16. [23:27] <Ames> [Wow, like you weren't attracted to him enough without the stretching and the warm room. You hate your life sometimes. "Fine. You?"]
  17. 04[23:29] <@Rigel> [You frown. Not entirely sure what just happened. You look at them, confused. "...good?" You decide it must of been something you imagined. "Yeah, good. Finished a sword I've been workin on for a while, take a look." You walk over to the bench and toss the sheathed sword over, should be easy to catch.] [ http://40.media.tumblr.com/85fb2d4759f2bb8d07f63b5dd9e79788/tumblr_ncqdp9b3QU1rrjmgoo1_1280.jpg ]
  18. [23:34] <Ames> [Was that a rare moment of confusion from Rigel or what? Now you're sort of confused and oop there's a sword. You catch and look it over. "This is... really cool." You can't believe he made this, the talented bastard.]
  19. 04[23:35] <@Rigel> [Okay you definitely heard that. "Hey, you, uh, got an ability still on or somethin?"]
  20. [23:36] <Ames> ["Huh?" You squint at him. Why would you have an ability on? "No."]
  21. 04[23:38] <@Rigel> [You raise an eyebrow. "Well, I'm gettin thoughts or somethin comin in. Ya just thought I was a talented bastard? After lookin over the sword?" You jerk your head at it.]
  22. [23:41] <Ames> [Oh god what. "Uh..." That's not untrue, and how the hell did he know that, because you are 98% sure you turned off all your weird Sound abilities. Even the dubious fist vibrating one is off right now. Did you beat some sort of quest?]
  23. 04[23:42] <@Rigel> ["Really, you should take that up with my mom. It's not like /I/ had a say in bein a bastard." Give a small smile.]
  24. [23:45] <Ames> [You raise your eyebrows at him and, of course, do not laugh, because you have no sense of humor-- and also because that's an uncomfortable subject to joke about maybe? Like it's a trap or something, you don't know. "Uh-huh."]
  25. 04[23:47] <@Rigel> ["Ya are allowed to laugh, it was a joke."]
  26. [23:48] <Ames> ["I'm not going to laugh." You're sort of too busy freaking out internally and trying to turn off whatever ability is making your thoughts audible.]
  27. 04[23:50] <@Rigel> [Shrug. "Alright. Well. Hope ya figure out what's causin that. Ya can head off if ya want, if ya stick around I promise I ain't gonna take advantage a'whatever I hear."]
  28. [23:52] <Ames> [He is being surprising chill about thi-wow that was a bad pun and you should feel bad. "I. Well," you were sort of expected endless torment and now you've been caught off guard.]
  29. [23:52] <Ames> ["I do sort of want to see the fireworks."]
  30. 04[23:55] <@Rigel> [You'd like to say that you're not a horrible person, but... "Well, I can still do that." You captcha the last firework and start heading back to the stairwell. "Come on, gotta get above the fog, gotta platform set up."]
  31. Session Time: Mon Nov 03 00:00:00 2014
  32. [00:00] <Ames> [Cool! You feel like this could have gone a lot worse. A lot. LOT worse. You follow him, nodding.]
  33. 04[00:05] <@Rigel> [You head up about another fifteen floors, taking the steps two at a time, checking to make sure Ames doesn't fall behind after a story or two. "So, gonna be sendin a message out soon-ish about the next meetin, but I'm thinkin we can do it in costume. What do ya think?"]
  34. [00:07] <Ames> [Maid's outfit is what you think, and then prompty unthink. You huff a little bit. "Sounds fun." At least it's an opportunity to dig through your pile of nesting dresses for a good costume. "Why, though?"]
  35. 04[00:09] <@Rigel> ["Why not?" You say with a grin. "Though to be honest, the phone I had with me from the pre informed me it was Halloween, thought to roll with it."]
  36. [00:12] <Ames> [Halloween? You actually smile at that. The joys of candy and well-designed outfits. "Sure."]
  37. 04[00:14] <@Rigel> ["So thats why I asked for ya help with decoratin. Ain't just gonna be a regular session-meetin." Stick your head out a window. Fogs almost gone, and you can see the platform a few stories up.]
  38. [00:17] <Ames> ["Okay," you're pretty sure you already agreed to help, but you ... just think-agreed to it. Would saying it out loud be redundant? You don't even know. This is going to get on your nerves really quickly.]
  39. 04[00:20] <@Rigel> [You wrestle with yourself, but decide it's not actually taking advantage of. "I can listen to ya if ya want me to and acknowledge what ya think if ya want?" You reach a floor with a star on the wall. "Ah, here we are." You head down the hall and on to a large deck that surrounds the entire floor. The air clear, and giving a nice view of the Medium, Skaia, and your almost uniform slate grey land below.]
  40. [00:23] <Ames> [Well, that's not a terrible idea, except you know, when you start accidentally thinking about nice hands and kisses and- you facepalm just slightly, starting to go red. "Urgh," you try to focus on the view instead.]
  41. 04[00:24] <@Rigel> ["So not a terrible idea, but don't do any actions, huh?" You say as you head to a blackened firework launcher. Pointed off and away from your spire.]
  42. [00:26] <Ames> ["Yeah," you agree, wishing you could just turn the damn ability off. What even is this?]
  43. 04[00:26] <@Rigel> ["No idea what it is. Might just be the aspect bein stupid. Like Vo d can be with, well, that." You offer it a thanks for proving your point by completely silencing part of the word.]
  44. [00:30] <Ames> [Great. You really hope you're not stuck with this on. Also, you sort of hope you never get V id-- not even your mind is safe from its effect, what the hell? "So. Fireworks." Subject change, abort, abort.]
  45. 04[00:34] <@Rigel> [Smile. "Fireworks. Got three here, if they work well, can just use their captcha code to make more." Gesture at the three. One has the Space symbol on it. The second (which is the one you just finished painting) has a large amount of stars on it, and the third has a rainbow. "Which one do ya want to see first?"]
  46. [00:40] <Ames> [You sort of wonder how fireworks can make a rainbow, but decide that if it's impressive you want in to be in the middle. "This one?" you point to the stars one almost arbitrarily.]
  47. 04[00:42] <@Rigel> [You grin. "Sure thing." You set the electric fuse and head to the railing, holding the ignitor in your hand. "Ready?"]
  48. [00:43] <Ames> [You turn your face to the sky, excited in spite of yourself. It's been forever since you've seen fireworks. "Yeah."]
  49. 04[00:48] <@Rigel> [You flip the safety switch, and then press the big (red, of course) button. Theres a second of delay, and then theres the 'WHOOSH' as the firework launches above the two of you, arcing in a trail of sparks in to the air in front of you. Another small delay to amp up the excitement and then the actual show starts. The first explosion is a fairly regular sphere you'd see on Earth. But this triggers in to a second, slightly smaller one, and then a third, and a fourth, and a fifth. Each time getting a little smaller, the bang a little quieter.]
  50. [00:54] <Ames> [Your eyes go sort of big and sparkly at the fireworks. It sure has been forever, and you weren't aware how much you missed them! You almost do something cliche like say 'wow' under your breath but oops, you're just stuck there, admiring. You're glad you didn't flee.]
  51. 04[00:57] <@Rigel> ["Hey, I'll take that you're glad you stayed. Means I did it well." You grin and nudge their shoulder. "So, Space or Rainbow next?"]
  52. [00:59] <Ames> ["Rainbow," you elbow him back. Normally you'd be embarrassed or something but you're too excited now.]
  53. 04[01:02] <@Rigel> ["Ehe. You're gonna love this I bet." Turn the key to the third slot from the second, flip the switch again. "Wanna press the button? It's big and red~."]
  54. [01:05] <Ames> [...You sort of want to press the button. You edge closer.]
  55. 04[01:05] <@Rigel> [You offer the small box. "Just gotta press the button."]
  56. [01:06] <Ames> [Yep. You're doing this. You press that button.]
  57. 04[01:09] <@Rigel> [Another small delay, another whoosh. This one arcs a little lower before splitting in three directions. Continuing on the way it was launched, and parallel to where it was launced from. Each of those three directions is split in to seven, streams stacked on to each other, descending in the colour of the rainbow as they leave a trail of coloured smoke and sparkles.]
  58. [01:12] <Ames> [You bounce on your feet. That answers your question about how it works, at least, and it's so nice to look at. You actually say "Wow," this time a feel a little bit like a dork.]
  59. 04[01:14] <@Rigel> [You grin at their reaction before saying "You're not a dork." You say offhand, already working on setting up for the last firework. Glancing at the rainbow one as the smoke fades and drifts off.]
  60. [01:17] <Ames> [Eep. You're not blushing, what. You mess with your hair a little bit, embarrassed. Self-deprecating thoughts also get transferred. You're not sure why you expected them not to be. "...thanks?"]
  61. 04[01:19] <@Rigel> ["No problem." You say with a smile. "Ya want a hug? Cause I mean, if ya get a hug, ya can't be a dork. It's a true fact."]
  62. [01:23] <Ames> [There's that question again, and armed with a cute statement. You go even redder than before, because the last time you and Rigel hugged it led to kisses and you dunno, he's pretty sly. "Maybe."]
  63. 04[01:25] <@Rigel> ["Did you not enjoy the kissing last time?" You ask, surprised.]
  64. [01:27] <Ames> ["Well, it was... interesting." And that's a 'yes I enjoyed it but I'm also fairly certain that I'm terrible at it and it's EMBARRASSING didn't we go over this before?' "...At this rate I might as well just say what I'm thinking," you groan and cover your face.]
  65. 04[01:29] <@Rigel> ["Might as well. Or you could not say anythin and just think it." You shrug. "And you weren't terrible, you were pretty darn good, and I mean, why's it emberrasin to kiss someone ya think is hot? I mean, thats what I'd like to do now."]
  66. [01:33] <Ames> [There is no way you haven't gone beet red at this point. "It-- just-- is." And you think he may have just admitted to thinking you're hot and wanting to kiss you and you're. Really hot right now. Sort of want to melt into the ground and vanish.]
  67. 04[01:36] <@Rigel> ["Hey, come on. I didn't think I was that horrible." You gently reach out and place your hands on their shoulders. "No matter what you've gone through or been taught. There ain't no reason you should be ashamed a'these things."]
  68. [01:39] <Ames> [Why is he so nice. This should be making it easier, not harder. Arrrrgh. You give up and literally have no idea what to say or think. Your brain is very confused. You think you may be broken, and you don't mean that in the 'your brain has short-circuited' sort of way.]
  69. 04[01:40] <@Rigel> ["I'm nice, cause, ya know, life ain't hard enough as it is in here. And if I can get some time with someone I enjoy bein with, I'm gonna go for it. Not worth it to live life wondering 'what if', ya know?"]
  70. [01:45] <Ames> [You uncover your face just slightly. "You make it sound like it's easy." You're mumbling. Dumb.]
  71. 04[01:45] <@Rigel> ["Easy to what?" You ask, confused.]
  72. [01:46] <Ames> ["To... just do things."]
  73. 04[01:49] <@Rigel> [Your face falls. "What do you want to do? But can't?"]
  74. [01:53] <Ames> [That's. A loaded question. You think about smooches and sex and- you get embarrassed way too quickly because Rigel is standing there, and your mind takes a turn for the sad and serious and sobering and alliterative. Find Daisy, for one. Get her out of this death trap? Yeah, definitely that. That's depressing, that you've put that in the 'can't' category.]
  75. [01:53] <Ames> ["Urgh."]
  76. 04[02:00] <@Rigel> ["Well, I can't help you with findin a coplayer. Wish I could. But I'm pretty sure kissin, and sex if ya wanna do that is somethin I can help with." You wrap your hands around their back from their spot on their shoulder and give them a hug. "Not sayin right here and now, but whenever ya wanna. But ya ain't gonna put me off by wantin to do those things. Promise."]
  77. [02:05] <Ames> [You... sigh deeply. You are kind of so embarrassed you could die, but at least you're not getting made fun of? Yes, there's the bright side Daisy'd want you to look for. "Okay." And for the record you are acknowledging what he is saying and not anything else.]
  78. 04[02:07] <@Rigel> [Squeeze em a bit before lettin go. "Think about it, yeah?"]
  79. [02:10] <Ames> [You rub your face, still blushing and overwarm and... sort of emotionally drained, but hey. That's life! "Yeah."]
  80. 04[02:11] <@Rigel> ["Hell, even if it's just wantin someone beside ya when ya sleep. I ain't gonna think less of ya for that. It can be lonely out here." You say quietly, looking up at Skaia.]
  81. [02:15] <Ames> [That actually sounds nice. You do the same, eyes skyward, shaking off what embarrassment you can.]
  82. 04[02:18] <@Rigel> [You glance back at the fireworks. "Still one left if ya wanna send it off."]
  83. [02:20] <Ames> ["Yeah, let's." Mood lifter, please.]
  84. 04[02:22] <@Rigel> [Offer the box.]
  85. [02:23] <Ames> [Press the button!]
  86. 04[02:25] <@Rigel> [It flies off with a screech! Theres a small flash, and then it's flying sideways in front of the balcony! Another flash! And now it's coming from below straight in front of the two of you! It continues portalling around the area until the rocket portion eventually fades, and then it explodes in a large white Space symbol over top of a green frog.]
  87. [02:27] <Ames> [You're startled into grinning. Mood lifter was a success! That was actually clever as hell given what you know of Space.]
  88. 04[02:27] <@Rigel> [Grin. "I'd say all of those went excellently. Wouldn't you?"]
  89. [02:29] <Ames> ["Yeah!" You nod appreciatively, excitedly. Actual fucking fireworks! /Good/ ones! So cool.]
  90. 04[02:30] <@Rigel> ["I can give ya the codes for these ones if ya want. I'll be makin more later." Glance around. "Anyways, wanna help with the decorations then?"]
  91. [02:32] <Ames> ["Sure." That is an answer to both questions, for clarification's sake. You conjure some Halloween-y ideas to mind and hope there is enough candy to fulfill them.]
  92. 04[02:32] <@Rigel> ["Candy alchemizes pretty well. Especially candy corn for some reason." You explain as you start heading downstairs.]
  93. 04[02:32] <@Rigel> [[Scene]]
