April Fools' Dance, An Abandoned Warehouse, Friday Night

[endsthegame]

The first arrivals to the warehouse would have found nothing - until the lights went on, dropping many shades of glitter down onto the floor. The glitter would stick around all night, almost-but-not-quite clashing with the colorful decor, though it did not seem to incite any boykissy.

Even if one of the janitors definitely took a shot at using it as an excuse.

There was a karaoke booth set up in the corner, and the rest of the party environment looked chaotic and incredibly merry. Reds, blues, and yellows had been thrown together like a crazy man had attacked the place with some paint.

Welcome to your April Fools' Dance, children, adults, and alumni.

"As if you wouldn't save entire worlds three times over if you got the chance," Tahiri said gently, linking her fingers through his. "But that's another reason you're lovable."

"Speaking of other worlds, the trip to Karla's was uneventful," he said.

Tahiri blinked. "I can honestly say I'm a little surprised by that."

"So was I," he admitted, "but we were out in the middle of nowhere, far from Hobart's cronies."

The look on Tahiri's face suggested exactly what she thought of Hobart, and she knew she didn't have to go over that with Ben.

"Good," she said forcefully. "What were you doing out there, anyhow?"

"Karla was helping to heal the land," Ben said. "Her blood mixed with water will improve crops. Which was...weird."

"Physically linked to the land, and healing it through a sort of sacrifice," Tahiri mused. "That makes a strange amount of sense if I look at it a certain way."

Which was to say that it appealed to her Yuuzhan Vong side, but she was trying to phrase that delicately.

"I thought it might," Ben said quietly. "We visited several villages. Hopefully they'll all have good crops now and Hobart won't find out which witch did it."

Re: Arrivals - April Fools

[weetuskenraider]

"Several villages," Tahiri echoed. "She didn't go and wear herself out completely again, did she?"

She knew Karla; that was always a concern, but also a reason she respected Karla so much.

"No, but I was there to--how does she put it?--fuss about taking a nap and eating things and not bleeding to much into the stupid bucket," Ben said.

Re: Arrivals - April Fools

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri chuckled. "I have to admit, that is one of your better-honed skills. The fussing."

Re: Arrivals - April Fools

"Well, someone has to because I know a bunch of people who treat things like gut wounds as something to deal with when they have time," Ben grumbled.

Not that he did that. Ever. Really!

Tahiri, stop. It's just a little cut.

She could still quote entire chunks of conversation from that part of the Myrkr mission, but the only break in her demeanor now was a brief flash of wistfulness in her smile before she poked pointedly at his chest.

"Funny. So do I."

Re: Arrivals - April Fools

[momslilassassin]

Ben's eyes flickered with sympathy. "Wrong example," he said, squeezing her fingers again.

Re: Arrivals - April Fools

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri shook her head and squeezed his hand back, hard. "No, it's fine, really. In fact, that sort of proves how true it is."

Re: Arrivals - April Fools

[momslilassassin]

"Yes, I guess it does," he admitted. "I love you."
