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.

She waves her hands. "No, it's okay. It's a good thing I came across you, after all!" Subaru smiles and turns. "Come on then. I'll go with you." Her skates whirr to life, but she keeps her pace slow, gliding casually along more than actually skating. "There's plenty of room if you want to rest somewhere for the night, or just stay for a while. Only a few of us actually live at the inn, but there are also lots of other places to claim."

Wow, Subaru is really nice! Marcy's mind is already working on ways to repay her for it, since that is just how she rolls. "Yeah, sleeping outside is one thing! Sleeping outside in the snow, made of suck!" Not feeling up to walking the vampire Queen hovers, drifting alongside Subaru with a smile on her face. "I totes appreciate it," She paused. Wait, we? "From the sound of it this Queen has a mondo collection of girls going huh?"

Probably a redundant question, one that doesn't really merit an answer since the answer is so totally obvious.

Subaru nods. "There's at least a few dozen of us here, all from different worlds. This is just what I noticed on the Vine; I haven't met too many in person."

Until the numbers were put out, Marceline kept up with Subaru just fine. "Wow, that is more than I thought!" She pauses a second, digesting the information. "The vine? Is that what the talking heads are called?"

Another nod. "You must have seen them on the mirror. That's what I mean. The plants are how much of us can communicate with each other, no matter where we are, here."

She just hums at that, "That's pretty freaky and junk!" She'll just have to get used to it. The night isn't getting any younger so she hurries along, stealing the occasional look around. "Not long until we get where we're going?" She was, oddly, getting tired.

"It's nothing like what I'm used to, but it's also really handy. You just to really respect the plants, and you'll be fine."

Nodding, Subaru points ahead, where the silhouette of the large Japanese-style inn can be seen in the distance. "Yep! Just up ahead."

"Everything here is a little loopy." Yeah, she just keeps on floating in a strange silence for a moment. "I'll try not to insult or step on them then?"

As the building came into view Marcy aired an interesting sigh. It was thankful and impressed. She'd never seen a building like that before! "Wow, those are nice digs! They're totally your's?" Onward!

"That's a good idea. The animals are usually pretty helpful, too. Just be careful of the bears... if you see one, it usually means somewhere you aren't allowed to be." Not that a lot of people would think twice about crossing paths with a bear, but to some, they don't have the same danger sense.

Bit of a grin as they approach the front steps. "Well, not really. I live here with my friend from home, Vivio, and another girl." ~~At least, as far as the mun knows.~~ "There is lots of space, so if someone wanted to stay for a while, it'd be really easy to accommodate them!"

"This's right out of some kid's book," She laughed a little, "-or nightmare. As long as the animals and plants don't mess with me I won't mess with them." Simple enough logic as Marceline was one of those people without a clue or sense of danger what-so-ever.

Not wanting to startle whoever else might be inside the girl lands on her feet, "Only three of you?" Marcy let out a low whistle, "You could house a whole army here!" Yeah, lets hope it never comes to that right?

"I totally appreciate you letting me stay for the night!" She said, apparently thinking that it bore repeating. "I'll try not to be too much trouble!" In the morning she'd be on her way, if she could find a parasol and a pair of gloves.

Another little laugh. "It really is kind of a fairy tale land, in a lot of ways."

To the other comment, she nods. "It's designed to be spacious enough for something like that, but yeah, I hope we never have to fill it for any kind of emergency."

Subaru slid open the door, but backed up a few steps. "Don't worry about it. As long as there's something I can do, I'm glad to do it. Go ahead inside, I'll follow you in a moment, as I need to get changed first."

Oddly, Marceline could accept it being called a fairy tale land. It was better than what she'd heard others call it: Hell, Prison and the like were favorites. "Now we're getting somewhere! Act like it's a movie, story book or some junk! Makes the pill less bitter to swallow!

"You never know with Queens," That was her reply as she nodded her head and hopped her way up the stairs and to the entry way, "This one seems too insane to not cause emergencies and stuff!" She stood in the door way a moment longer, watching Subaru from behind the fringe of her hair.

"You remind me of someone! Always willing to be a hero and help out those in need." She was being sincere, even if she followed it with: "That person was a dude and a kid though!" With a wave, a nod and a cheerful utterance of "Cool!" she headed inside.

Subaru doesn't know much of royalty, though she has also questioned the sanity of this plot of the Queen's, too. At the other statement, she laughs a bit. "I don't think this is particularly heroic... it's just nice!"

She took a quick little hop as she called out, "Mach Caliber, Standby!" and when she landed on the steps it was in much simpler clothing; a t-shirt and jeans, with running shoes and a light jacket. Everything else had vanished in a flash of light.

Beaming, she vaults the rest of the steps and slides the door shut behind here. "There we go! If you want to change, you can do that just down the hall in the washroom." Subaru pointed to a closed door at the end.

"It is," Said through a very wide grin, "-because the whole hero thing starts with the urge to be nice and to help when you can."

Okay, so Subaru had the total coolest way of changing clothes! She could just command her clothes to change and they would! Marceline had seen her fair share of the awesome and magical in her thousand or so years; however, she had never seen anything quite that freaking cool! Like a dumbhole she stood there and clapped until Subaru spoke to her again.

"Dude," She stopped clapping but the awe was still there. "Changing would be a good idea right?" She laughed, shaking her head at herself. Marceline's eyes followed Subaru's finger and she jumped at the chance! "I won't make a mess, promise! Thanks again!" And she was off! Tired of being tired and tired of being wet.

"I can't argue with that." Even though she doesn't think she's nearly strong enough to get that kind of name, she supposes that enough people might look up to her because of her job to make that true.

Subaru stopped and put a hand behind her head at the clapping. "Eheh, okay!" She waved at her with that hand. "I'll bring some clothes in right away, but feel free to wash up and I'll leave them just inside the door. When you're done, I'll be in that room," said as she points to another door. "And I'll have some tea ready."

For now, though, she waves again and heads off to go fetch said items. She's also communicating with Vivio that they'll have a guest tonight, so she's not surprised.
