:[VDAY 2016]: The Voyage Celebration (Party Thread)

[Tartara Seabreeze]

The feeling of his boobs pressed against her was quite interesting the other way around. Not a bad, interesting. He really wanted to experiment more, but Andromeda called his attention for right then.

"That's the spirit lass! Git some grog in yer belleh." The answer to most of lifes issues was alcohol, gold and boobs.

But he was going to find the fella responsible for this atrocity. Because doing the deed with Andro as a male...

That was NOT happening. He started leading them towards the buffet table, his hips giving a little sway in the new feminine form.

Shahrazad was dressed for the night. Her hair was bound up in a golden-hued band. Her dress was firey-red, bound to her neck before flowing down her sides and to just below her tail, her back and sides left free for movement, where it was tied together by a golden rope adorned with red and white beads. On the side with the rope's knot, the dress reached up dangerously high even relative to where it fell on her mid-thigh. Numerous bangles adorned her wrists, clinking musically together, and to one side a single armlet hung on her bicep.

Smiling a toothy smile, the feline entered the party, her eyes cooly looking to the others already present. From what she remembered of last year, it seemed 'activities' were already going underway. Including with her own children. How nice it was to see Saira being unconfrontational (for once), and even her little Hatil seemed to be making a friend! What a proud mama she was!

Now, if only she could find a lover or three for the night...~ she practically purred as she thought of it.

Nighthawk came into the dance with her hands behind her back, claws freshly-manicured and painted with black polish, her hair halfway let down from its usual braid to pool against her shoulders. What remained up was made into a french braid, which wrapped around before being twisted together and clasped to one side with numerous feathers placed within it. The cherubs had been rather insistent that she try to improve her appearance (she was rather gangly from the forest) for Venus' sake.

She'd been too docile to argue much.

Still... it felt strange to have been showered with so much attention, far more attention than she could recall having ever received from anypae prior. Reaching up to twirl a curl protruding from her bangs, the harpy moved around to the side of the dancefloor to find a place to stand, watch, and maybe have a snack or two.

Stroking his wings lightly as he watched his arrows do their work, he smiled to himself. Hopefully there would be possibility for more connections made this year. He always wondered how those he did give assistance to turned out with one another after this was all over.

Watching the interactions, the mingling and partying, Dylo drifted on to another section to see who else might be in need of some help. Scanning the crowd, he landed on one individual who had drawn his attention. Casually pulling his bow and another spare arrow from his quiver, he poised it to take position and fire discretely while everyone else was busy with one another.

Who'da thought the bar would'a been so busy? Okay, that was a dumb question. Lemon Hearts spent most of her cruise laying about by the pool just relaxing in the sun. She'd sip Mai Tais and enjoy the view. The last time she was on an ocean voyage it was not fun. The faunies were crammed in Celestia's ship wandering and looking for something they didn't know. It was that reason she hesitated coming along on this cruise. But ... she surely missed her orange god.

The party was what she looked forward to most. Away from Telrunya, she hoped there wouldn't be any problems. Eris couldn't reach them.

Lemon Hearts did not dress formally like most attendants. She didn't even think to do so. She showed up in her sarong. No matter, she saw the object of her affection behind the bar and sashayed her way over. She sat on a stool and ordered a Sex on the Beach.

Kelebek couldn't help but smile as she watched Hjortur make his way over to one of the ornately-winged Pae that seemed to be their hosts. She knew he'd had another reason to come on this trip! They were so sweet together.

She felt a small p***k in her shoulderblade, and as she turned to see where it had come from her eyes lit on the most...uniquely beautiful Pae she'd ever seen. She was purple and exotic-looking, and even a bit dangerous. Kelebek felt drawn to her, such was her allure.

She glanced toward Pearl and Autumn for a moment. She was hesitant to leave them, but she was certain they would be fine on their own. And, she realized with a bit of a smirk, perhaps appreciative of being free from their parents. Ah, young love! "I'm going to, er, try to make some friends," she said. "You two have a good time, alright?" She bent to kiss Pearl's cheek, then touched Autumn's shoulder, and then left them to themselves. She had to get a closer look at this Pae!

Kelebek slowly approached the other, blushing at her own sudden extroversion. "I'm sorry," she began, touching her own cheek nervously. "I just wanted to come and tell you how beautiful you are." She was truly star-struck by being this close to her. She was even lovelier up close. Her movements were graceful, her eyes were passionate and bright, and her hair fell in such glamorous curls over one side of her head! "I'm Kelebek," she said, her voice somewhat shaky.

Navidad was passing through the crowds when she felt the small p***k on her shoulder. A curious look came over her face and she glanced down to see nothing on her arm. Huh, that was strange. Lifting her head up, she suddenly noticed the most amazing specimen of heroic glory. She was beautiful, slim, with raw muscle rippling under her furred skin. All Navi wanted to do was go over and worship the very ground the Rak stood on.

However, before she had taken even a step, her arm had been captured by another and she was sent twirling around until she was spun back into their arm. Blinking for a moment, she stared up at yet another interesting Pae, then smiled. "Well, that was fun. Pardon, though, I really must go. There's someone I just HAVE to meet. She's... incredible!"

Quickly, she bid the shark-finned pae goodbye, then nearly ran to the Rak she had seen earlier. Oh how she was even more magnificent than Navi had originally thought! Nearly breathless, she picked up a plate of various snacks and offered them to her. "HI, I'm Navidad!"

Sorry, someone got distracted!

A strange, gentle pinch hit Aquarious in the rear end, and she quickly turned to check to see if something was stuck to her, then readjusted her simple dress just to be sure. She felt Thulani's eyes on her and looked up at him. That was when she felt her heart suddenly hammer in her chest and her breath caught in her throat. She wondered how long she'd felt this now no longer subtle draw to him. Had it started when they'd first met and she'd asked for his help? How had it grown to this? Was he the one?

WOAH where did that last thought come from?! She looked away from him, blushing brightly and feeling suddenly very nervous. She certainly felt like it was more than possible. He got her, understood her every need and was there protecting her at every second. She couldn't imagine him not by her side, and imagining him with another pae made her heart hurt so much that it felt like it was going to explode.

Slowly, her hand slid down from his elbow and down to his hand, her heart hammering the entire time. Please let him take her hand, let him feel the same...

Andro felt herself calming a little, but she was still in a panic. What if she, what if THEY were stuck like this forever? Of course, Darius looked like he'd be just fine with having his own set of boobs for the rest of his life. How would she feel like this? Granted... this didn't change who she was, right? It didn't change her personality or what foods she liked, or how she was Slagathor Destroyer of Worlds. No, she was still her, and having a dong wasn't going to change that!

Feeling a little better, she couldn't but notice that Darias was have a little hip swaying action going on as he walked. A very small smile touched her lips ans she leaned into him a bit. "Enjoying those hips now, are you?" She grabbed from the table a glass and filled it with booze, taking one very healthy swig.

Pearl was somewhat baffled to see her mother go up to a stranger of her own volition, but she certainly wasn't going to question it. This left her and Autumn by themselves, which was definitely to her liking.

"You look super handsome!" She returned his compliment and gave him a hug. "Want to dance?" she asked. Not that she was going to wait for an answer, necessarily. She took her friend's hand and pulled him toward the dance floor. She'd heard that boys were weird about dancing. "I think if we kinda balance on our tails like this we can kinda..." She demonstrated by doing so and moving her hips back and forth. "It's close enough, right?" Pearl grinned.

Euphrosyne noted a harpy (one she didn't recognize, anyway) enter the ballroom. The Island-raised harpies always had such a terrible scowl on their faces! Didn't they know that they were gifts from Venus? Such a thought out to make anyone smile!

But she knew what to do with such faces. Time to turn that frown upside-down! She took careful aim with her bow and loosed an arrow into the peach-and-black harpy's heart. Then she hurriedly put her bow away to serve another round of wine.

Nighthawk has been hit with an arrow! It will make her feel incredibly happy toward the next Pae she lays eyes on (who this is is up to you). Lucky her!

After a not unsatisfying conversation with the angel Shaeloh, Florzinha was reminded how she did like to socialize. And so when the time for the party came around, she was ready. She draped herself with a luxurious gown that displayed her beauty for all to see and be astounded by. Her hair she left as it was--it was perfect already, of course.

She strode into the ballroom after many other had already gotten there. She found a pillar and leaned against it, feeling confident and deserving of attention. Someone would notice her here, she was sure of it. She scanned the room for the little toad who had approached her earlier. Ah--it seemed some other poor girl was currently the object of his affection. She shrugged. Too bad for her.

Hatil gave a nod as he returned his name, pleased to now have knowledge of it. Content with their conversation - if one could even call it that - for now, she instead turned her attention to the literal heap of food in front of her. If mother had been nearby and bothered to pay her any attention, there was little chance that she'd been allowed to behave in such a manner.

But they were on a cruise, and mother wasn't watching.

Reaching to pick up a few puff pastries filled with a beef tartar (she could smell the meat and didn't pick up those cream ones on accident), she placed more than one in her mouth and smiled to herself as she chewed, eventually swallowing in one big-ol'-gulp. Looking forward, she noticed her new aquaintance had something in his pile that she lacked; pointing, she asked. "What's that?" A pause. "Is it yummy?"

Shahrazad had hardly time to plan her method of attack before she was being approached by another, a lovely pink female naiad. She wasn't normally one for females, but... well... who knew what would happen after a few glasses of wine; surely there was some of that delectable liquid nearby.

If nothing else, it would be nice to pass the time with another to taken by her.

Smiling and purring lightly, the cat returned in a delectably-soft tone. "Do not apologize; you are much too beautiful yourself for such a thing. I am truly touched to be of your admiration, Kelebek." Taking a step closer, one of her ears twitched and the bangles on her wrists rang musically. "I am Shahrazad. Tell me, Kelebek, what brings you here tonight? Also..." her eyes shifted, noticing the yellow goddess whom she'd come to acquaint with the nicest of drinks. "Would you care for some wine?"

[CURRENT ARROW EFFECT: EUPHROSYNE (HAPPY -> ABBY)]

Having (supposedly) found a place in the periphery of the room to settle down, Nighthawk had just begun to consider her options before the strangest sensation hit her chest, if for but a moment. It was similar to a mosquito's bite, yet warmer. Brighter. Almost as if the clouds of her heart had parted only to express the sun's warmest affections.

Looking forward, her eyes came to rest on a blue-hued angel across the way, one who's black curls fell remarkably softly against her skin and with a very beautiful dress. A small smile came to Nighthawk's lips as she stared, the most peculiar of feelings filling her bossom. She just wanted to be closer and smile more, rejoice in this presence, make it known.

Was this... happiness...?

Deciding she could ignore it no longer, the harpy moved from her safe area across the floor, this feeling of bliss growing as she came to be closer and closer to the blue one. When she'd caught her attention, her smile turned a little sheepish and her eyes averted, just a moment, before having a complete grin. "'Ai. Ai'm Night'hawk."

[CURRENT ARROW EFFECT: PSYCHE (SOULMATE -> AQUARIOUS)]

Oh sweet Guardians bless his poor, fragile heart!

The moment seemed to occur in slow motion, his own senses hypersensitive to each minute movement her hand made, slowly tracing down his forearm before coming to take his hand in hers. Perhaps she could feel how quickly his heart had begun to beat, or feel the warmth flooding his cheeks. Or read his own embarrassed and overjoyed smile dancing across his face as his fingers carefully intertwined with her own, hesitating for just a moment before tightening his grip. She felt so soft against his calloused hands, so gentle and tender and fragile, as if a squeeze too hard would break her.

Was this...?

He couldn't bring himself to speak, and rather just stood there, not moving and waiting to see if she would pull herself away from him.

Autumn squinted his eyes together and lost some altitude as Kelebek pat his shoulder, his attention completely reverting his attention right back where it belonged, on the feeling of her soft breasts skin embracing him. When did she get those? This was a great hug. "Suuuuuuuu-" he was caught off in his answer as she pulled him to the dance floor, not that he would have said anything but yes. If she'd asked him to pull the feather off of one of those cherub's wings, he'd have done it without question.

He liked the way she danced.

"Like this...?"Raising his arms up and attempting to do the same with his body, although with far less finesse than she, he too swayed with the music. "Right?!" He laughed, grinning.

Pelagious let loose a wide grin when his ploy actually worked. The little Christmas angel sailed right into his arms. He was so proud, he coulda preened. Then she opened her mouth. With those those few little words, his entire world collapsed.

As he stared in shock, the little multihued angel pranced off as quickly as she had come. With him left holding nothing but his broken, prideful heart. What the h*ll was wrong with these people?? Couldn't they see how awesome he was? Couldn't they see how talented he was? Couldn't see him at all??

He let loose an angry snarl, followed by a few choice swear words, as he raked his hands over his face. This was disgusting. Here he was, dressed to the nines and being avoided by 3 different pae, one of them a freaking God!! Could his night get any worse??!!

He screamed in frustration and stormed off. "Nothing else to do but drink my way into oblivion." He half muttered, half growled to himself. Stopping by the buffet table, he grabbed a plate and slammed some cake on it (cause food therapy was healthy. Mhmm). Then he proceeded to the bar and huffed down into a seat.

"Give me something to erase this pain..." he whined at the bartender, the start of tears beginning to roll down his cheeks..  

[Twitchapher the 3rd]

Phaenna had been watching one of those cat things stuff her face with food. This wouldn't do. She outta...Work of some of those extra pounds off. The goddess drew back her bow and let an arrow fly through the air, hitting poor Bastet in the butt.

Wolfs Heart

Phaenna's arrows inspires Pae'il to show off to each other, eventually leading to some playful wrestling! She'll want to show off to the next pae she sees!

 

[Wolfs Heart]

The next sigh from Cerelia sounded less content, and more... depressed. In fact, the creepy overly happy smile she had been sporting was completely wiped off of her face. She had just realized that as happy as this harpy had made her, the happiness would be gone once the try was over. Cerelia would go back to the sea, and this winged creature would be off somewhere in the sky. It was a miserable thought, one the caused another sigh.

"You're so wonderful..." Cerelia responded, her tone utterly miserable. This harpy was wonderful, and Cerelia would never know wonder or happiness like that ever again. "And I'm Cerelia," she sniffled, practically in tears now. As she looked at the wonderous harpy, how she longed to keep this beautiful bird forever, but birds did not fare well under the sea. She was sobbing now.

Ugh, tricked into this love mush. Reluctantly he was giving in to Adora's ridiculous requests because he really had no choice. He could make the voyage miserable for them both, or he could just bite his tongue and let her have a good time. Why am I such a nice guy, bleh.

He refused to dress up. Not because he didn't bring anything fancy (he didn't) but because he didn't want to. He was already about to vomit with all the hearts and flowers everywhere, he didn't want to be sucked further in to it. But, he still tried to do something nice, because Adora insisted. Dressing up felt weird, but he didn't want to be the odd man out, so he put on a clean button down shirt and pants that he thought might belong to his sister because they seemed a little tight.

When he arrived to the atrium, he spotted her immediately across the room standing by the grand staircase. Among all the pae coming and going and walking between them, there she was, the only pae he saw. She looked cute. Too cute. This was really starting to tick him off.

He ran his fingers through his hair and straightened his cuffs before closing the distance. "Hmph, not bad. I suppose it could have done worse. Let's go get this over with. By the way, it's my turn to choose what we do after this thing." Then he did something uncharacteristic - without thinking, he took her hand to lead her down the stairs.

Adora - I will have him respond to love arrow in next post since this was just getting them down to the party.

 

[Teigra]

Chuckling and shaking his head at Pothos, Himeros was keeping reasonably busy with the rush of drink orders as everyone arrived at the party. It was early, when no one was ready to be the first on the dance floor, so they needed a bit of liquid courage first. Things should calm down once everyone had a drink or two and started getting into the music and each other.

That's when he caught sight of a familiar face leaning over the bar, beckoning for his attention. His face lit up warmly, taking in the casual sarong, but noting how pleasantly it hugged her frame and accented her curves. He'd like to be hugging her form half so close...

Finding a lull in the orders, Himeros slid over to prop his chin in hand, on one elbow and smile warmly at the fauny. He reached up with his free hand to take Lemon Hearts' chin, then slid his hand up to cup her cheek. "My dear. It's been far too long. With the way things are, I didn't expect to see you here, that's for sure." He'd had to cut some of his visits to the Great Tree, considering the growing hostilities of late. Not that he couldn't have just gone if he wanted...no, he didn't want to deal with the drama or cause any more. He'd been hoping to wait until things cooled down before resuming his visits.

Before she could get the wrong idea, he continued smoothly, "Of course, it's a pleasure to see you. You've made my night, lighting up this place with your shining visage! Let me get you that drink, sweetheart."

The God of Lust turned away to start mixing the asked for drink, working on auto-pilot. His gaze slid to the bow and arrows concealed below the counter and his thoughts shifted towards the more devious end of the spectrum. He and Lemon Hearts always had a nice time with each other. And it had been a while. Not that he'd ever needed to use such tools before, but...

It had been a while. Maybe he should give her just a little taste...just to remind her what she'd been missing...

It wasn't as if he'd leave her wanting...not for long anyway. Heh...

Drink in one hand, Himeros circled out to exit the bar with an arrow surreptitiously hidden against his other forearm. He moved towards Lemon Hearts' seat, standing just behind and over her shoulder as he set the drink down in front of her with his left hand. The right smoothly circled around her hip, producing just the lightest little pricking sensation in the area of her cutie mark, which he covered with a distraction. Leaning in close to her ear so that his breath warmed the skin, he whispered, "Hell of a drink choice, honey. Tell me, my little Lemon Drop...did you miss me?"

Antidia

Lemon Hearts has been pricked by Himeros' arrow! She will now lust after the next Pae'il she sees, pursuing them doggedly. Poor dear might be feeling a bit hot and bothered...
