You're my Cuppy-Cake

[derederejava.livejournal.com]

Not quite the meme we normally do, but I've seen it floating around and it looked like fun, so, why not?

Here we go, VDR, Cupcake Meme!

Would you look at that? The DR's set out a bunch of cupcakes for everybody to enjoy! It looks like there's a bunch of flavors to choose from, so why not have a bite?

Rules
• Post as a character!
• Someone replies IC!
• In your next comment, RNG ( min 1 max 8 ) for the cupcake that your character receives. Your thread partner will do the same with their next comment.
• Once the character takes a bite, the effects are immediate. HAVE AN ADVENTURE.
• If you feel like having another, the previous effects will still be there along with whatever new effect you've been given.
• None of this carries over into DR play, of course. Unless you want it to.

[ RED FROSTING ]
number: 1
effect: LOVE.
You have truly, madly, deeply fallen for the person you're with. Aren't they so enchanting?

[ PINK FROSTING ]
number: 2
effect: LIKE/CRUSH.
A much cuter variation of the first. May involve stuttering, fidgeting, and general su-su-su-ing.

[ HOT PINK FROSTING ]
number: 3
effect: LUST.
All of the sudden it's not the cupcakes that look delicious.

[ BLUE FROSTING ]
number: 4
effect: CRYING.
The waterworks, they have been activated.

[ PURPLE FROSTING ]
number: 5
effect: GENDERBEND.
Man, I feel like a woman.

[ VANILLA FROSTING ]
number: 6
effect: YELLING.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE YELLING ABOUT.

[ CHOCOLATE FROSTING ]
number: 7
effect: CHIPPER.
Everything is suddenly sunshine, rainbows, birthday cakes and lemon tarts! Isn't the world just a wonderful place?

[ MARSHMALLOW FLUFF ]
number: 8
effect: SHOTALOLI.
Age shift! The adults find themselves as children, and the children find themselves as adults.

WHAT THE CHRIST. jerking violently away and oh, it is a very fortunate thing she lets go, first. just... staring at him, pale and trembling a little]

...That is not being careful. That— why did you even—

[pane_dhiria]

... I...

... You are very dear to me. I wished to show it... I suppose affection made me imprudent...

[was_no_monster]

Imprudent—?! If I hadn't let go I could have broken your hands. You- you might have—

[you might have lost some of your music, she thinks, and shudders.]

...I've changed my mind. I appreciate your concern and desire to help, but I've hurt enough of the people I've cared about through carelessness. I will not have you joining that number.

[pane_dhiria]

[I hope you appreciate the effort it takes not to reach out to you again. it is Herculean.]

... I shall abide by your wishes, my dear one.

[was_no_monster]

[blushing painfully hard at that. nobody had ever called her endearments before, and it's making her heart and stomach twist in knots that she has no clue how to untangle. why was he doing that? why—

oh.]

...You ate one of the cupcakes, didn't you.

[pane_dhiria]

--Ah? Well, aye, so I did...

[was_no_monster]

...

Damn it!

[PUNCHING THE GROUND and then covering her eyes, helplessly]

[pane_dhiria]

[what are you doing STOP THAT 8(]

Kaito, my friend-- please, it pains me to see you so--

[was_no_monster]

Of course it does; but how much of that is your own heart, and how much of that is this hell-begotten place making free with your will?

[pane_dhiria]

[that's. actually a good question. have a thoughtful look as bard mulls that over but doesn't actually leave your personal space]

[was_no_monster]

[that's fine, I'm too busy trying not to complete my transformation into an emotional wreck to notice]

[pane_dhiria]

[... careful hand on your shoulder]

Aye, upon reflection, I fear you have the right of it. And yet, whether 'tis truth or artifice, this new affection, I can scarce say I held no affection for you before. We are friends, are we not? That, at least, is no illusion.

In sooth... I reck this change be less a matter of quality than of degree.

[was_no_monster]

[...exhales, going somewhat limp with relief. she does not shake his hand off]

...I thought as much. It was because of that that I was so upset; I was afraid that what was real might have been entirely replaced by falsehood, or that regret for your actions might later change the truth.

[this is not the entire truth, but she is not telling how much it had hurt to think that the only thing behind those kind words was a lie.]

[pane_dhiria]

Of that, you needn't be afeared. E'en should my conduct now embarrass me later, 'tis no fault of yours and shall make no end to our friendship.

[can I cup your chin? I'm going to cup your chin]

... Though I can scarce imagine myself embarrassed. I have always wished your happiness, and taken pleasure in your company. It is only of a different sort, now... You are beautiful.

[was_no_monster]

[...don't worry about that cracking noise you might have just heard, it was only my brain]

...

...

[faintly]...you're only saying that because I'm a girl, and because you aren't thinking straight.

[pane_dhiria]

[smiles] I did say, did I not, that man or woman matters little to me? Beauty is beauty, where'er it dwells.

And addled I may be, but not so much so that there be no truth in my words.

[was_no_monster]

[blinks at him, trembling faintly

...PULLING AWAY AND COVERING HER FACE AGAIN]

[pane_dhiria]

[he touches her back, leaves his hand there.

just gonna give her a moment to recover, here.]

[was_no_monster]

Nobody—

Nobody's ever—

[that seems to be the most she can get out]

[pane_dhiria]

[softly]

Then it pleases me to be the first.

[was_no_monster]

[...yeah, we are going to need more than a moment, here. keening and curling up into a ball of confused feelings and misery]

[pane_dhiria]

[... okay thinking you need more than a light touch. wrapping his arms around her, pressed against her back]

[was_no_monster]

[shivers and abruptly turns sideways to throw her weight against him. need hugs]

[pane_dhiria]

[HE IS ABSOLUTELY 110% OKAY WITH GIVING HUGS]
