POST-ROUND 2 MINGLE

[idolpro]

[ Once the decisions have been made, everyone is ushered—though those gentle tugs—out their respective mud rooms into the courtyard. An impossibly tall and incredibly dense garden hedge divides one half of the courtyard away—moreover, it increasingly gets taller when climbed, preventing its residents from escaping their slice of the courtyard. From beyond, idols can hear the distant sounds of something rumbling—perhaps it's the ground shaking. . .

The roster is visible on a large screen, though as time progresses, certain names are blacked out. . . ]

[ Mouths and Hands will be able to transform into monsters at-will, though Hands are much more diminutive and Mouths have supernatural abilities at their disposal. Moreover, unit abilities are on. ]

Don't worry. It's just that I thought your blood would taste nice, that's all.

[She scratches his ears a bit and then runs her fingers through his thick fur some more.]

[at_heart]

[ Huh. —Pretty sure he'd be fine with that, normally? He's volunteered to be fed on by more than one vampire. He's enjoyed being fed on by more than one vampire.

But it chafes a little, right now, to think of her feeding on him. Rude? If he'd gotten any other berserk, he might bite her for it. But the discontent doesn't feel all that important, even though it's there. Not when she's not actually going to attack him, not when he wouldn't get anything out of attacking her. ]

[Not satisfied that she can’t drink his blood, she settles for hugging him, dropping to her knees in front of him first so that she can wrap her arms around his neck.]

You’re a very cute wolf, for what it’s worth.

[The fact that they’re both “monsters” right now doesn’t even bother her.]

[at_heart]

[ Being hugged startles him a tiny bit, but he's a lot quicker to relax than he would be if he weren't a monster right now. After a beat, he sets his wolfy chin on the crown of her head.

Thanks?? A soft whuffling noise of amusement. ]

[Part of her is screaming 'It's not fair I want to eat hiiiim' and another part is just happy to be close to someone she cares about. This in it's own way felt like she was making him 'hers' by monopolizing his attention for a short while, even if it couldn't be satisfying to her hunger. She could settle for this kind of 'Love' too.

After a moment, she extracts herself out from under his great big head so that she can look at him properly and then mess up his fur by petting him enthusiastically!]

I wonder if your hair is getting messed up like this?

[Can't help but giggle at the thought.]

[at_heart]

[ Don't worry Ren, you'll get to nom at endgame?? This is committed to now. ] [ Lupine allows that, but her comment has him giving the best flat look he can when his face is a featureless void with glowing gold eyes.

First you suggest eating him, now you wanna mess up his hair! The nerve of some people.

Bumps her shoulder lightly with his nose. ]

[romanticlove]

[She will stop assaulting his fur fur now, cupping his face in her hands and looking him in the eye.]

You really are very cute like this, but I do prefer the normal you best. It's hard to have a conversation when you can't talk. Not that I mind. I just hope we'll get through this game without much trouble.

tfw different berserks......... I'M SORRY REN

[at_heart]

[ E, eye contact is definitely had, but man the wolf-creature instincts don't love that either. He tugs his head back out of her grip after a beat, his gaze impassive.

To turn back, or not to turn back... He hasn't bothered to try yet, so he's not sure how it goes. Whether it'll hurt, the way changing in the first place absolutely does.

Eventually, he just huffs and settles back down on the grass. Waste of energy to attack and try to eat her, he's reminding himself. Besides, Pep was supposed to be off-limits... though his reasoning for that seems a little fuzzy right now.

—Hmm. Right. Because it'd be annoying if they got to endgame and all of Pep was dead. :|a ]
