Well, the weather outside is frightful

Characters: Everyone!
Date: Midnight the 16th of December
Summary: The inhabitants of the Garden get their reward for making out beneath the mistletoe, in the form of a lights show in the sky.
Warnings: N/A

In the dead of night, the Garden is dead silent. Without the sound of the city or urban life, only the noises of nature pervade the air. Crickets. Rustling leaves. The occasional footsteps of an animal.

However, tonight, at midnight, the silence is broken by a loud pealing of bells, rousing the people of the garden from their sleep. The bells continue ringing for nearly half a minute before falling silent. For a moment, the peacefulness of night returns to the Gardens.

Then the enormous mistletoe plant begins glowing, with a brilliant white light bright enough to be seen from all corners of the Garden. It fizzes, shooting off heatless sparks, and then bursts, shooting up into the sky and breaking into pieces of glowing light, forming various shapes. Above the Orchard, a series of hearts form, burst like fireworks, and reform. Over the Necessities, nymphs made of sparkling light kiss and dance through the sky, winking down at the people below. Over the ruins, flowers of multicolored light pop into existence and disperse. And above the Viridian Pavilion, fiery red phoenixes swoop through the air, burn out dramatically, and are reborn in a new cascade of light.

The show will continue until morning. Fortunately, now that the mistletoe's light has dispersed, it's not so bright that it should keep people awake.

"It'll just be another mystery for now, right? Well, even if you're just one of the fortunate few with these powers, it's nice of you to be able to use them to help others," Ryoko laughed a little and winked. "Even if it's for something as small as watching fireworks with an ordinary human like me. I really do appreciate it!"

She turned a bit in place and smiled right back at the other girl. "You're welcome, Asakura. I'd much rather use my powers for something like this if I can help it." The sad fact is that, back home, she rarely could be so casual and free with it. Subaru won't let those thoughts come to mind right now, though.

"I can't believe it's still going on," she said as she faced forward once more, covering her yawning face with a hand.

"It must be for an amazing cause. Too bad we have no idea what for, hmm?" she feigned a yawn, too--for some reason, humans thought them contagious, right? How odd they are.

"It's nice, but maybe watching until the end isn't worth losing beauty sleep over. What do you think?"

"Maybe the Queen will tell us, soon... if she's the one behind it, I mean." Subaru has no honest clue. She moves to stand, stretching her arms out above her head. "Mmm, I think you're right. I'm just glad it wasn't an emergency like I first thought. Those bells had me all worked up!"

Then she turned to offer the girl a hand in standing. "Would you like me to walk you to where you're staying?"
lastwaltz: (I don't think you can manage me)

"Well, it wouldn't be nice to leave anyone in the dark. Let's hope that she'll be kind enough to enlighten us later!" she offered Subaru a grateful smile as she accepted the other girl's hand and pulled herself up, dusting off her skirt a little. "And it's very kind of you to offer, but I believe I'll be fine by myself."

Without knowing whether she needed to be carried back down or not, Ryoko just let her hand stay in Subaru's.

"Okay then. Hang on just one more time!" Fortunately, getting down is a lot swifter, so the next verse is quicker than the first. Once down, Subaru makes sure everything looks fine before she outright dispels the Wing Road. "That was fun. Thanks for coming up and talking with me." Since she had to admit, it was pretty sight, but also something best shared with others.
lastwaltz: (you can talk me into fucking you)

"Now, I should be the one thanking you for the view and conversation," Ryoko admonished lightly, but she was grinning. "But I agree, this was quite fun. I do hope I'll see you again sometime!"

Well, she supposed the other girl made a decent enough study subject. Perhaps she had other interesting abilities. And, in the meantime, it never hurt to appear friendly--how easily humans were manipulated.

She suspects absolutely nothing because, well, doubting everyone you meet is no way to live. Subaru scratched her head a moment. Ryoko had a point, there, so she smiled in return. "Me, too, Asakura."

She backs up on her skates. "Be safe, and have a good night!" With a final wave, she spins around and starts her way back toward the inn.
