[Semi-Closed] Wedding Bliss

[onedrinkwithme]

Who: Aymeric, Leo, their CR and their +1s
When: April 21st, all day
Where: Odin’s Temple, Glitnir
What: It’s a wedding! Please respond to the top levels provided!



The invitations had been sent, the work has been done (and into overtime after certain events), the orders have been made and the scenes have been set. Trying to plan a wedding without a planner can be pretty tough but the support system both men have did help in the long run. A lot of it even with a computer dying in the process. The point was to have a simple affair, no large fanfare considering this was not one of Heaven’s festivals and just a celebration of love between two people. This what both Leo and Aymeric wished for and they did their dammest to make it come to life, to hopefully a successful and eventful day but for all the right reasons.

They earned this happiness. Today is for them and they can share it with comrades and friends and family alike.

Ginia is very good at PriPara, but as they dance along the floor, it's clear Ginia is also good at dancing too. Or rather, she's good at the motions of dancing. In a forgotten life, formal dancing was one of many skills crammed into her mind and muscle memory. Be good enough to blend in at a party, don't be good enough to stand out in anyway. Be a pretty, proper holstered weapon.

But that's forgotten. Today is a wedding of a friend and with so few opportunities to dance, it's nice. Ginia smiles easily as she glides along with Hibiki, movements technically sound.

This...!

No wonder Ginia took to PriPara so quickly. The seeds of ability had already been sown within her, waiting to blossom! All it took was the glorious rays of the sun to coax them free. Hibiki doesn't need to feign a smile of enjoyment. It's just so refreshing to perform alongside people whose capabilities are worthy of respect.

"You are splendid!" May she spin you, splendid lady? "The sight of your dancing figure outshines any chandelier. Behold."

They sweep past the present table, where a stacked pile of gifts is on the verge of tipping over. This is not at all because Hibiki outsourced preparing the present to maa-ssistants without hands. No, it has a deeper meaning: "The presents long to be unwrapped by you, and lean forward."

[unlucky7]

Yes, Hibiki, you may spin her. Ginia turns gracefully, coming back in step with Hibiki as the dance continues. It's fun having a chance to finally dance without injury holding her back and Hibiki is certainly an excellent dance partner. There's a grin on her face as they dance, expression turning a little toward shock as they sweep past the palisade of precipitously piled presents. Are those all for Aymeric and Leo?

[priforprince]

From the immensely self-satisfied look on Hibiki's face when next Ginia turns to face her: yes, those are all Aymeric and Leo's presents. The ones from Hibiki are, of course, the Best. Or at least the highest-quality. Present-giving is yet another arena in which a flawless genius inevitably succeeds.

"Sharing such a dance with you is a gift in and of itself," she concludes, on a roll here now that she's having a good time (it feels like it's been a while since Hibiki's had a good time - even her vacation was, ah, interrupted). "I'll engrave it upon my heart."

Shall they make their way to the center of the room? And continue adding flourishes to their routine? The presence of a dance of this caliber is itself the finest blessing any wedding can possess!

[unlucky7]

May the tower remain intact. Ginia glances worryingly over her shoulder, worry fading into a laugh at Hibiki's flattery. It's charming, truly. To the center then, dear prince. Were Aymeric and Leo enjoying a dance, it'd only be right to reserve the coveted location for the men of the day. But presently unoccupied by their hosts, it's open for all to take.

Normally Ginia isn't one for attention, but with Hibiki, it's hard not to fall in with her effortless confidence. Fake it until you make it, right? She twirls with Hibiki's lead, her moves smoother as she relaxes and enjoys the dance.

[priforprince]

That's it. Shine. Brighter - brighter! This, even more than mere self-adulation, is what Hibiki lives for. Why the perfect beauty knight of pure amore love exists. Performance - entertainment! The pinnacle of radiance, unlocking hidden ability, rising to new heights. Two players, playing off each other, glorying in the act of excelling.

Hibiki is so swept up in the mood that she attempts a dip. While shorter than Ginia.

In defense of this move, her upper-body strength is exceptional.

[unlucky7]

To be fair to Hibiki, Ginia's taller than most people around. Ginia realizes exactly what's about to happen as Hibiki moves to dip her. Despite their height difference, Hibiki is a professional performer; Ginia puts her trust in the god as she braces her legs and dips back. She holds onto Hibiki, careful not to pull her down with her greater strength.

[priforprince]

What a suitable tableau! How is Ginia's weight balanced? If Hibiki adjusts her hold, and encourages it - will they be able to lift Ginia's leg, as a counterpoint to her head dipping down? This is, of course, the most beautiful and magnificent method of executing a dip, and therefore should be attempted if possible.

Ginia, it is with a heavy heart the adprinistration reports that anyone who dances with Hibiki, sooner or later, does the leg thing. Consider it a rite of passage.

Or perhaps - the beginnings of a beautiful finale.

[unlucky7]

It's true, one should stick their leg out in a dip. It's a pose that highlights the lines of the body in a dynamic fashion. Also Ginia has seen Hibiki dance enough to know a leg kick is inevitable. It's the hallmark of every performance, live or in CG motion capture.

When in the company of a Preek god, do as the Preeks do and raise a leg?

Ginia is also wearing a short dress and not interested in flashing everyone. So while raises a leg in an elegant fashion, she keeps her thighs pressed tightly together and doesn't raise her leg as high as she could so her dress doesn't slide back too far.

[priforprince]

Not to worry, Ginia - in addition to your own conscientiousness, Hibiki's celebrity aura is also a cartoon physics aura. While bathed in it, no wardrobe malfunctions can possibly occur. It's the wrong rating.

Thus it is that Hibiki glories in the moment, knowing exactly how long to hold Ginia in that pose before helping her return both her feet to the ground. If her own leg happens to go up off to the opposite side shortly afterwards, well, that was for symmetry.

Now, any requests for the final steps?

[unlucky7]

So poised, they're the centerpiece of the dance floor, a fitting cap for Tsubasa's performance. The spygoats have also formed up in a circle around them, further highlighting maa-ster's moment of perfection. Is there no grander way to finish a song with such a display of strength and grace? As the last notes of the song finish, Ginia lets Hibiki lift her up, giving a graceful curtsy.

Sometimes it's not the dance you were looking for, but the dance you needed. It's a moment etched etched in her heart.

[priforprince]

Absolutely ideal. (Or, maa-bsolutely for some maa-mbers of the audience, but Hibiki refuses to consider things in such terms.) Smiling smoothly, Hibiki bows in response to the curtsy, slowly letting go of Ginia's hand.

"Much obliged," she offers. "Complementing a perfect song with a perfect dance was an honor."

[unlucky7]

"Thank you, Hibiki." Whether or not Hibiki knows sign language, the sign for thank you is clear enough in its meaning. Ginia smiles warmly, giving a few more curtsies to the gathered goats.

But the fleeting moment cannot last forever. Ginia inclines her head toward Hibiki before taking her leave. Steps a bit lighter, she leaves the circle, gracefully gliding away. Now to find the answer to an important question; where is her phone?

...okay I had to

[priforprince]

Hibiki salutes, smirks, and turns to slip into the crowd as well. That had been refreshing. Now, what else is worthy of the attentions of a Prince at this party...?

Ginia will find her phone on a silver platter. The silver platter is propped atop a spygoat.

Nothing but the finest maaa-spitality here.
