Scene 012 - Birthday

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[Here is Juliet. Fully male again, finally.]

[He is now dressed in a fine, expensive tuxedo... laying on his back on the Plane's 'ground' looking tired. Who comes closer can smell some fine champagne too, and  we can say he had a few glasses, yes. Otherwise he couldn't handle the parents, their talk about business and the new fiancée-material who was just being introduced. Pure awesome. Even the champagne wasn't enough so he decided to take a break.]

Mmm...

[Juliet gives an annoyed noise, and rubs the bridge his nose. Feeling a little bit dizzy, and more antisocial than usual.]

[Who needs to be at home and in bed on a friday night when you can be skating around on the astral plane? Fine, Romeo preferred to have pajama parties or other fun things with his team, but Juliet had had 'obligations' or something so he couldn't come. And with this whole different reality thing going on it was already hard enough to get the whole team together, so he simply said there wouldn't be any party! Long story short, Romeo was bored and testing how fast he could go on his AT in this giant no-obstacle void.

That's why he almost ran into the boy on the ground. He only saw him at the last moment and had to quickly jump over him, luckily he managed to not hit him or fall down himself, but he wasn't very happy with it. As soon as he came to a stop he turned around and skated back to the person.]

Who goes and lays around on a black void while wearing black clothes?! That's dange- ...Juliet? [Romeo stared at him in disbelief for a moment, it wasn't often that he saw Juliet dressed in a normal fashion and he definitely had never seen him laying around like this.]

Is this laying around your so called 'obligation'? [He was a lot less annoyed now that he knew it was Juliet, ah love of his life~ He smiled down at him.]

[Whoah, something just jumped him over... nice speed, but the form was horribly off. Fail.]

Ara... Romeo~ Your form was marvelous~ [weren't they having a party? But Juliet just smiles up at Romeo, still laying.] Well, aren't you in a good mood, honey~? Joking around like that~

[bacchusprince.livejournal.com]

[...Damn you. Romeo had a feeling something strange was going on though.]

Is something wrong, Juliet? I really didn't expect to see you here.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[Sighs, and looks up at the stars, weee pretty~] Ah, wrong? What could be wrong on a night like this~? [beams~] I didn't expect to see you here either, Romeo~ Ah, it must be fate~!

[bacchusprince.livejournal.com]

[Kneels down and noticed the champagne smell.] I didn't expect to see you so in character tonight. [Yes he just said that, oops] Can I take it that either your obligation was so fun you got drunk and this is the result, or it sucked and you got drunk and this is still the result?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[frowns at him, now that 'in character' wasn't nice. :|] I'm Juliet whenever I want to be! [especially when running away from things~] But please take my in-character time away, Romeo, I beg.

And I'm not drunk. You are the one who can't handle drinking.

[Snorts and is not going to comment on that last bit]

Ah, Juliet~ You do look very handsome in this tuxedo. Would you like to explain to me the occasion of wearing this?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[chuckles, and sits up, hah not wobbly at all but close~]

The family decided to put up a small party for my birthday which is tomorrow... today~ So we can celebrate it together, isn't it nice of them~? [beams~!]

[bacchusprince.livejournal.com]

Oh. [Have a pouty Romeo for not having been invited to that party. Not that he's family, but he wished he was.] I have the feeling you didn't enjoy it much.

[It took him a moment to notice the fellow on the ground, and another moment longer for it to register just who the man was. A grand thing, then, that Hamlet hadn't approached the dark spot on that dark plane. The last thing he really wanted to deal with right then was tripping over an 'out of character' Juliet.

Instead, he stands off to the side, watching as their fearless leader displays his wondrous skills, as the scene unfolds. Quite the quiet one, that Hamlet, hands clasped behind his back as he observes the little conversation. He looks thoughtful, almost pensive, lost in his ruminations.

Had anyone paid any attention to his eyes, they might have noticed his gaze, and how it always seemed to come to rest on Juliet's now-flat chest. Thoughtful, thoughtful.]

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[Bacchus members are to be noticed, that's what the uniform is for, so Juliet notices Hamlet not far away. He wasn't paying attention to the gaze... yet, only the thoughtful expression.]

In, and out, that's how breathing goes~ [he said, helpfully. :|]

[bacchusfool.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does. Thank you for the reminder. [His brow furrows, as if what he's thinking about bothers him greatly.]

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[stares for a minute, then sighs annoyed.]

What?!

[bacchusfool.livejournal.com]

You. From before. [He skates forward a bit, close enough to converse in a normal tone of voice, but far enough out of reach. For safety's sake. You know the drill.]

It was real, wasn't it? [Annoyed Juliet, meet vague Hamlet.]

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[frowns] Before? What th- [oh, THAT before--]

Oh no, it was for a play called 'How to amuse Romeo'. [pouts, and crosses his arms]

[bacchusfool.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't seem to hear Juliet, but you can never really tell with this guy. Instead, he looks up, a puzzled little expression on his face.]

So... were they real, or fake? Blow-up, perhaps? [With that same, puzzled little expression, he brings his hands up to his chest, cupping his fingers in a suspicious sort of imitation.]

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[Have a horrified expression creeping to Juliet's face as Hamlet explains his question further. All of Bacchus has CHEST-fetish or what?!]

It-- So-- Why can't I just forget about those disgraceful days of being a woman!? [he asks the rhetorical question as he stands up, and tries to step closer to Hamlet, slightly wobbly] It was real if you want to know, my dear Hamlet! Happy now~? [smiles~]

[Puck isn't a girl anymore, either. THANK GOD. He has yet to lose his costume though. He frolics within range]

Hime-chan? You look funny.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Coming from you, that must be a compliment. [will so not thank it though.] You lost your airbags too I see~

[bacchusfairy.livejournal.com]

Only if I'm laughing at you. [and he's not laughing.] Hmm... I kind of liked them, actually~ but it's good to be me again, too.

Na, why are you in a suit?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Good to know, I guess. [snort] Oh I noticed you liked them, and not only you~

[glances at him, and have a tired fake smile~] I must look good when they all come to ruin my life~

[bacchusfairy.livejournal.com]

Hee hee~ [have a bit of a raspberry for that]

You look more like an Ouji-chan than a Hime-chan. It's weird. Don't I ruin your life enough for you?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[rolls eyes]

[sits up, frowning at Puck, because now now he is not an old man! >[ ] Don't be selfish about that, fairy~

[bacchusfairy.livejournal.com]

But playing tricks is something I'm proud of! [hands on hips]

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

I would be too, if I couldn't do right anything else beside it~ [smiles~]
