The Final Ball

[fairygodmother]

[For those of you in Splendor already, you'll probably have noticed the spooky decor the city has donned throughout the past week. With nothing else of of notice to be mentioned, it seemed like everything was just going to be a repeat of last year

[She is not...quite sure how she got here...or why, but instantly, she knows where she is, and she smiles...and she holds the small tot in her arms close to her chest. Hair long, eyes blue and mischievous as other, the woman of her late twenties steps through the entrance...her orange dress's skirts swaying as she moves forward. There are lines on her face, and she's lost the baby fat that had clung to her face. The presence of the little child in her arms, green-skinned, blue-dressed, gives her an image of maturity.

Nura Nal-Dox is back in Splendor, everyone. And she's brought someone with her.]

Everything looks the same...

[mykimlasca]

Nura? [A Princess calls from the corner, her hair a little longer, a little older, but still the same. Her hand is at her mouth. ]

[naltorian]

[Nura spins around, skirts swirling, baby giggling, and she beams like she's won the lottery when she sees Natalia.] Your Highness!

[mykimlasca]

It is you! [ she walks towards her purposely, before stopping at the sight of the baby. and..this is?]

[truerfaith]

...I see...

[he takes this influx of lost memories in stride, stepping further into the District to survey.]

But it's not only me, is it...? [this happening. he glances about at those nearby.]

[MY SWEET ALIENCHAN X2]

Saint Walker?

[truerfaith]

[!

TURNS AROUND. kya.]

Milen. Hello again.

[uponhiseye]

[HODFHG ICON]

Hello--I'm so happy to see you again. [and he actually just smiles instead of making a huge gosh darn festival out of seeing another familiar face.

... He tries to, anyway, because in about a second he'll be wrapping his leo dicaprio arms around Walker for a proper hug. HE IS JUST SO FULL OF MAGICAL EMOTIONS]

[ Edel was still toying with the martini glass that, somehow, in some way or another, made it's way into his hands. They were appropriately dressed for this occasion too, weren't they? Oh, this was too much for the senses. Too much for his little mind to understand. He had woken up. It was a dream. Nothing more, nothing less.

And yet, here he was. And he wasn't alone.

He was able to convince someone to go mingle elsewhere. Not dropping a hint he knew these people, not knowing what was truly going on. Of course he didn't mind. Not at all! No! In fact, he was enjoying himself! We were kidnapped once again and Lawrence was simply enjoying himself.

Perhaps now was a proper time for goodbyes, then.

Edel sighed softly. He wasn't truly ready for goodbyes. ]

[mykimlasca]

[ and in her clothes of state, is a princess, smiling with recognition in her eyes as she walks towards you. ]

Edel? My Goodness, is that you?

DROPS MARTINI GLASS

[apathycary]

[ Well, no, he certainly fumbles with it though. Holding on to dear life, Edel turns to face the princess. She's... well, she's quite beautiful! Look at that, who knew people could get prettier with time?

Or perhaps... with distance? ]

Y-Your highness! [ Oh no. God help him. Don't let Lawrence see this. He fumbles a bit more to adjust his glasses before awkwardly bowing. ]

You're... you're doing well, I suppose?

MY GOODNESS WHATEVER FOR?

[mykimlasca]

[ she curtsies teasingly in response, offering a warm smile. ]

How wonderful for you to remember me. Quite well! A little surprised at being taken from my audiences with the people, but I do welcome reprieves.

[ she giggles ]
Especially from a place like this, don't you agree? And you? Are you well?

[vimyridge]

[Well. This was it, wasn't it. He was going to miss those he befriended but it was probably about time to go back home. He had important things to get back to.

But he was definitely going to miss those he had formed such close friendships and relationships with.]

[mei_blossom]

[Oh, have an excited Asian nation running towards you, Canada, waving her arms excitedly

Wait for it...]

Canada! [le gasp]

[vimyridge]

[He can only hope that she forgives him for his initial look of surprise.]

2/2

[vimyridge]

[Thanksfully he's quick to recover.] Taiwan! I'm so glad to see you before we go.

It's... been fun. Great, really. I never really did properly thank you for being such a good friend while here.

[gardentamer]

[When her vision clears she surprised to find herself back in the entranceway.]

Where... where did the horse go?

[apathycary]

There was no horse this is all a dream.

All of it, Shiemi.

[gardentamer]

There was too a horse. A great big one with wings! I climbed up on it's back and then, then... I suddenly wound up back here.

[apathycary]

A dream!

This all must be! We never- this...

[ Ah, and that? That is the sound of someone incredibly flustered ] ...this is absurd! What is going on here?
