"Well looky you! That looks much easier to dance in." Rae? Trying to hid? In a cute outfit like that? Now while Minty lurked.


"Aw, Charlie's not so bad.. Yes, I did think a little change was in order. This is my favorite color scheme.~" What, hiding? Them? No way, they were here to dance and get down with their bad self.

Yes. We are lucky he only uses his powers for mischief and not evil...wait.
(Fanonip it is!)
Um . . . well at least we come out on the not so bad side of things. I mean, he shows off his abs for us some times, that's a win right? *trying to find the silver lining*
(If only we could make a tea called that. )

Whispering Minstrel
The murmur of the bar patrons crept steadily under the dark velvet curtain that separated the dining area from backstage. The band behind it was getting set up for the nights gig, each going through their instruments sets of scales, checking the presses, rosining bows and testing reeds. Their ever sullen vocalist cast nervous glances toward the thick barrier between the guests and himself. The ebony haired twenty-something would be fine, though. Maybe a bit weak at the beginning, crooners voice cracking when he lets his nerves get to him, but once he starts to feel the music forming, moving behind him, that's when he'll really shine.

Their most recent member to the band, a slip of a girl in her late teens, plucked idly at the strings of her well worn violin. She'd been picked up a little while ago from being a hobbyist street performer, trying to get her name around by playing some decent sets of swing after school hours. There was some talent there, but there was talent everywhere in the city. What had made them try and see if she fit though, was the obvious love of the craft, an exuberance that only someone in their youth could have.

And that same excitement was what kept drawing one particular patron back to the bar.

He had come in by accident at first, an overwhelming desire to go out on the town, letting his feet carry him wherever they would. It had been after a particularly rough flight with his beloved ship 'Lucille', a rival mercenary corp had intercepted their transport and damaged his lady. It took some odd weeks to get her space-worthy again, and being separated from the black abyss for so long...well, it can drive a guy stir crazy. It was in that time that his feet took him to the Mad Moll, a shady little joint you would miss if you blinked while walking past on the street, filled with a smokey haze drifting lazily on the ceiling, dim lighting from candles that cast strange shadows stretching from tucked away booths, and one bartender in particular that the Devashii felt had given him a stink-eye.

It was in this dark hole in the wall the two had first met, sharing a dance together after the band had gone through a few numbers, and later sitting down to have some polite conversation. After separating for the night, the two would continuously start thinking about that evening, how intriguing one was to the other. Her with her goofy grin and honest laugh, him with his devil-may-care attitude and sincere eyes. Eyes red as a ruby...

Mattie shook her head to clear her thoughts, she had to focus. The owner of the joint was giving the band's introduction, his reedy tenor assailing their audience's ears. 'Not ta worry folks, we'll have the cure for that right up...' she thought with a wry smile, taking her place on the stage next to the bassist. The group collectively held a breath as the curtain slowly rose, a few of the regular attendees giving an applause. The rest of them...busy nursing their drinks and talking loudly. She crinkled her nose at that, blue orbs scanning over the rest of the guests, and suddenly she felt her heart skip a beat...only to be resuscitated by the beginning chords of the bass next to her. It's gentle, powerful, rhythm helped stabilize her enough to play along with the group, but her blue eyes never left his crimson.

As expected, the voclaist, Ranel, cracked on the first few notes. It wasn't so bad this time, masking it with a slight vibrato from the band's heart beat, and he pushed on through the piece, his shoulders loosening up by the time the third number rolled around. His slow, soul-filled voice was enough to make a few of his loyal fans in the front swoon, and granted, even she might have fallen for it. If it weren't for the Flyboy out in the back. His smile, soft and knowing, was proving to be infectious as she felt the corners of her lips quirking up a bit, finally resting in the energetic grin he was beginning to love her for.

It was getting close to her shining moment on the stage, a little solo she had been working on for the past couple weeks, and she took her eyes off of him to concentrate on the flow of music around her, lids closing to envision the swirling flurry of notes she had to pluck out of the air. Bow racing across the strings, she made the audience her own party of emotional marionettes, raising their spirits with one set of found notes, and sending them crashing down with the next. When she let them escape her grasp and opened her eyes, a small flurry of panic shot through her.

Where did he go?

She didn't realize how much of an anchor he was for her, how much she needed that sweet smile. Feeling the tiny beading of tears forming, she blinked them away to continue the last part of the song with the group, a crescendo forming before the final notes danced over the enraptured audience. Inwardly, she smiled that even the talkers from before were giving the band their full attention.

The last note rang out triumphantly, and with a bow the group vanished behind the falling curtain, applause roaring after them. Giving each other congratulations, pats on the back, the band packed up for the night, each going their separate ways into the cold evening air. Mattie shouldered her violin case, stepping out the back of the bar alone. She would have to make it back quickly, before her Father returned home from the station. He never did like her out late anyway. Focusing more on her feet and not the alleyway ahead, she didn't even see the jacketed figure standing in front of her until she had ran into him.

"Gah...I'm so sorry I-" she began, raising her eyes only to meet familiar red. Lovely red..."Til..." she breathed, partially in relief. He smiled that sweet smile, offering his arm out to her.

"C'mon Mattie, ya know I wouldn't leave ya alone in the dark. Let's get you home," he said, eyes glowing with warmth only for her. She intertwined her arm with his, resting her head near the fur of his bomber jacket as they walked and chatted all the way to the gate of her parents house. Upon reaching the threshold, the two stopped and turned to face one another, grin meeting grin. A blush slowly began to creep across the girls cheeks, and she cast her eyes down to the sidewalk.

"Thanks for walkin' me home Til...and watchin' us perform tonight," she said shyly, not knowing where the sudden nerves were coming from. He didn't say anything, not yet, just took her chin between his gloved fingers and lifted her face back to his, a small blush turning his blue cheeks a purple tinge.

"You know I wouldn't miss it, for all the worlds out there." The words hung right near her lips, his warm breath crossing over her face. She leaned closer to him, eyes once again leaving those red ones as they hid behind her lids. Their lips met briefly, soft flesh placed shyly together in an innocent moment, but it was the start of many more moments to come. They broke away from each other as a chill gust of wind swept by, tasseling his pale hair and taking with it down the street the violinist's beloved cap.

"Oh no!" she cried, tearing down the road after it, the pilot chasing after her, their laughter echoing off of the houses nearby.

That first dance, it had been anything but easy. Looking back now though, it seemed just that compared to the next step. It was an invitation for tea, just the two of them. Yes okay, a date and that was where things seemed to get a tad difficult.

Charlie had asked, Tobias had accepted, so where then was the problem? Timing, timing was the trouble. Each was a creature of his own schedule and they didn't seem to mesh exactly. Different things kept Charlie busy while Tobias kept somewhat odd hours. Thus before either really intended for it to happen, many months had passed.

Then by chance one of the many random guild happening found the two in the same place at the same time. Their eyes met and each smiled, one may have blushed. Moving toward each other and speaking at once, it was almost comical as in unison both said,"Sorry . . ."

Tobias looked slightly amused and inclined his head so Charlie could speak first. Charlie gave a sheepish smile and spoke. "Sorry again, I-I don't know where time and I have been going to. D-do . . . d-do you still want to go for tea with me?"

Tobias's hand found Charlie's, still giving him a smile as he responded. "I too am sorry. I could have tried to find you as well. As long as the invitation still stands, I would like that."

Charlie smiled, looking pleased and relieved as the pair moved to a quieter area to discuss when this date might at last happen. He couldn't help a glance down at their hands, fingers still entwined, and feel his blush creep up his ears.

There was a giddy feeling as they faced each other again. Tobias spoke seeming to be thinking aloud. "When would be a good time for you, day or night?"

Charlie excitedly gave Tobias's hand a squeeze and began a nervous string of sentences and questions."Either is fine. But do you prefer one to the other? Are weekdays or weekends better? How soon would you be free, and when am I?"

A soft chuckle made Charlie trail off and focus on Tobias. Green eyes widened as his hand was let go and his cheeks were cupped. Their eyes met but a moment when it registered the horned male was leaning in. Charlie's whole face and ears felt on fire but he didn't dare move. Just before there was contact, both pairs of eyes fell shut.

Lips brushed then pressed together causing more sensations than either had expected. Tobias felt a mixture of things. The welcome softness of a breeze in summer. The playfulness of spring's wind through flowers. A sweet longing like autumn's breath, and the hint of winter's chill in the air.

Charlie felt a shiver like something cold and foreign yet intriguing. Then underneath, he could sense a fire barely contained and just waiting to engulf them both.

The chaste kiss ended after several moments, though Tobias did give Charlie's lower lip a tiny n** as they parted. Staying close, foreheads barely touching, Tobias gently stroked Charlie's cheeks with his thumbs. "We seem rather bad at coordinating our schedules. However, I am willing to try if you are."

Charlie put his hands over Tobias's, smiling serenly though still flushed. "I think I could go with that. What do you say we go get that tea?"


...and announce a winner on the 24th! You have until then to wow me with your words.

Thanks for helping make A Kink in the Threads and [Under A Dreaming Sky] such awesome places to come and hang out.

"Well, I'll trust you for now on that Charlie thing. But I am not so sure." She shrugged, "But the outfit is killer and the music is bumping. I think you have made a right decision. And purple suites you. Like a nebula of royalty!"

Eyes passing over all the technical equipment, Mattie stared in confusion as to where the music was coming from. "There's no instruments...is this stuff kinda how a radio works? But without a tower?" she inquired, keeping her hands to her sides so as not to mess up anything with a wrong move.

"Wait...did you say request?"

"Very true, only the after of such hidden talent."
His eyes flashed in a somewhat mischievous fashion as he gave her a quick dip after the twirl.
"I could not agree more. Heh, but a pity you do not recall the dance. It was to be swing, if memory serves. No need to fret though, it was quite some time ago."

((Be my guest. After all, you made it so appealing. ))

"Well, specifically, you're on the front lawn of the Fanonymous Guild at an after party for the Gaian User Ball," Minty watched Malina for her reaction, "Generally, you're in Gaia. Near Barton."


*Malina looks around confused, seeming to not recognize any of her surroundings. She rubs her head, gently* "H-how did I get here?"

((I'm pretty sure half of us have a tea addiction. Is it a new thing to shake a tin full of tea and someone will come running xD))
"Hmm, what other flavors do we need? I just have mine," he holds his tin tightly close to him.

Of course~ just as long as it's something easy OuO

Whispering Minstrel

(cleaning out my invo. That's what I'm up to. Mwa ha ha ha. Really though, I didn't think of it until after I started the after party. SEAT OF MY PAAAANTS. Or...hem of my skirt?)

"Just because I don't remember doesn't mean I didn't promise," She held Tobias firmly and elegantly arched into the dip, "But I think our dj could take one more request. Better get you that dance before I forget again, or you disappear. Or we both do."

Mister Monster Guy

Hey Mister DJ! Can I get some swing? Please and thank you!

MaidenMalina

"Well, as far as the party, you walked in." She said gently, "As to how you got to Gaia, do you remember where you came from?"

Unno Rokuro

"Hmm. Classic black tea, I think, then Lapsang, Earl Grey, Rosehip, Oolong, Green, and maybe some Chai Spice?" What were they running here. A tea shop?
