I want to talk to you.

- [PRINCESS]

From:

marsascending

THE MASK OF TAARAHAT has accepted your request! Please stand by.

From:

purrrnicious

[ /ᐠ ｡ꞈ｡ ᐟ\ ]

From:

marsascending

[ hope you're at tokyo tower because auntie paloma is arriving, stepping into the receiving area at the Footstone /o/

she's dressed like this because now imeeji can no longer contain her wardrobe. ]

Oh, this is neat.

From:

purrrnicious

[Do you mean did she send a message as soon as the app appeared without any familiarity with Tokyo Tower or how this works and is probably not in the receiving area but instead trying to understand how these weirdly flat floppy things called 'crepes' are supposed to work?

Because the answer to that is 'yes'.]

From:

marsascending

Kohimeeeeeeeeeeeeee~

From:

purrrnicious

[Freezes in the middle of wiggling a crepe in the middle of the air for science, ears perked.]

Wh––Paloma?

From:

marsascending

[ EXPERIENCE: HUG ]

From:

purrrnicious

[Squeaks a little and drops the crepe on the ground with a splat.

She tolerates exactly 4.2 seconds of HUG before she starts squirming.]

––Okay, okay, get off me already.

From:

marsascending

[ wow that's a deep honor from a cat honestly. she lets go, though. ]

How've you been! How's your girlfriend? Well done being space warlords, by the way.

From:

purrrnicious

Yeah, well, I'm great at war –– literally raised for it. And I don't have a girlfriend, don't be weird.

[though like

that is going to make her request here today really awkward now]

From:

marsascending

Well, whatever you prefer to call her. Your—Adora? Aster?

From:

purrrnicious

An idiot.

Or "my wife", I guess, if you really want.

From:

marsascending

Your idiot wife.

From:

purrrnicious

Yeah.

That's, uh. That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about.

From:

marsascending

Well, let's have a seat and get comfortable, then. Did you want to get another crepe first, though?

From:

purrrnicious

What, the weird floppy thing?

[She sticks out her tongue like blech.]

No way.

From:

marsascending

Yeah, I don't really know why people like them so much, either.

[ she takes a seat on a bench, though, and pats the space next to her. ]

So, tell me about it.

From:

purrrnicious

[She crosses over to sit down as well, oddly primly with her back straight and her knees tucked together, hands clasped on top of them. Her tail flicks around sharply, betraying that she's juuuuust a little nervousanxiousohgodwhatamIdoingthiswasabadideaisittoolatetoabort––]

[And then she just blurts:]

You like those 'party' things, right? I mean like. Having them. But also. . . making them?

From:

marsascending

Oh! Oh, I love throwing parties, that's true, so you've definitely asked the right person.

You'd like to have a party for her, then?

From:

purrrnicious

What? No!

––Maybe?

[Fluffs her own hair and flushes a little as the tail lashing intensifies.]

Look, I––we did this whole marriaged thing, but, like –– it was in that creepy "ca-see-no" place, and the demon that did it I'm pretty sure ran the first game I ever died in, and I was––

[She visibly cycles through several words before settling on:]

––sick, and we didn't really know what doing marriage was, and so people just. I don't know, talk about it like it doesn't count?

And she's never had a 'party' before anyway. I mean, her unitmate did one, but he doesn't even know her, it wasn't anything like what she'd like –– and he hates me, so he set up this weird thing and then ditched, and the whole thing was, uh. Terrible and awkward?

So I don't think we did any of it how it was supposed to go.

From:

marsascending

Ohhhhhh.

From:

marsascending

Ohhhhh all right, that makes sense.

From:

marsascending

So, we can absolutely make something happen that both of you will actually enjoy and will feel like a "you" thing.

I mean, no one here would recognize the kinds of marriages I've officiated, and if you don't have a particular cultural tradition or families to please, if you want to celebrate your relationship, then the point is that it's things you like.

...though there's some things that are standard for parties. Food, drinks, decorations, inviting your friends and any relevant family you're not estranged from or at war with. Sometimes there's activities or games.
