Fairy Fanfic Festival

[stringmods]

Who: Everyone signed up here!
Where: It's a secret to everybody.
When: February 14th-16th
Summary: The most terrible romantic day of the year has arrived!
Warnings: Lingerie and fluff

You awaken in a dark room.

...To the sound of giggling.

"Ohmygosh, they're finally awake!" The shrill voice elicits an uncontrollable wince of pain; as the lights flicker on, the wince is liable to evolve into a full-on expression of abject horror. Everything is pink. The bed is pink. The walls are pink. The flower petals are pink. The confetti and streamers are pink. The enormous scented candles strewn about everywhere are pink.

............The tight briefs and/or lingerie that may or may not be on your body in place of your own underwear are pink (You do get to keep your clothing, so this part is optional if you don't want to play it - your characters can wake up in their normal bedclothes or day clothes if you like. However, if your characters do wake up in sexy underwear or their PJs, their normal clothes will be in a nearby dresser.)

Before you have too much time to consider exactly what's going on, the voice sounds again.

"We are going to have so much fun! We just knew the two of you would be perfect together. No connection to the outside world whatsoever! No need to thank us! Now, we'll just be here in the corner and you two can just... oh, you know!"

The fairy blushes and sighs longingly.

"OK! Good luck!"

'The two of you'? What t --

Right about then, you realize someone else is in bed next to you.

[The event has begun! Please refer to this post to see how things will go. If you prefer not to have fairies directly involved, they will very generously allow you a little time ~alone~ if you ask, though they will return. Otherwise, they will be scribbling notes, drawing and narrating your "steamy romance" (romance may not be as steamy as implied). Characters can attack the fairies all they like, but it will have no effect, as they're projecting themselves in with magic while they watch from the safety of their little pixie laptops.

Remember that you control the fairies and what they say. We've created an npc account pixielove and you can find the password here, so have fun! You're free to use the account or not at your discretion.

Additionally, for the 14th to the 15th at night, anyone stuck together will not be able to contact the outside world. Don't worry, the fairies will let everyone know you're safe!]

[It takes him a moment, but Soujirou does find his voice again.]

...s-still, that was rather impressive?

[ding_bots_are_done]

Oh, do you think so? Thank you.

[She's clearly pleased at the complement, even if they haven't made any actual progress toward getting out of here.]

I could've gotten a much better result with better materials, but I've always been pretty good at making do with what I have.

[swordsaintseta]

That may be, but being able to do so at all is pretty amazing! Agatha-san is so talented!

[ding_bots_are_done]

[She blushes and laughs a little nervously. Agatha would never admit it, but she has a weakness for complements from handsome boys. ]


That's... very sweet of you to say. But it's really nothing special. I know plenty of sparks back home that could have done much better.

[swordsaintseta]

Sparks?

[Soujirou politely doesn't bring attention to that blush. It's something he's used to seeing, but then he was being quite sincere with his compliments!

The titter from the fairy projections might possibly ruin it, however.]

[ding_bots_are_done]

[She does her best to ignore the fairies, even though their tittering deepens her blush ever so slightly.]

Oh, right. I keep forgetting that most places don't have sparks.

[Hmm, how to explain? It's a difficult thing to pin down.]

Where I come from, 'spark' is the term for a particularly gifted scientist or artist. Someone who can create things that, um, go beyond the normal boundaries of what should be possible. In my world, whether you have the spark or not is a pretty big deal.

[swordsaintseta]

Ah... I think I get it. It sort of sounds like subclass levels for Elder Tale!

If you have a low level for something, then you aren't as likely to succeed in creating something despite having the right materials as you would be if you have a higher level.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Something like that. Although, a spark isn't really something you can get by training. Either you have the ability to break through or you don't.

[She's watched people try. And the ones that can't manage it usually drive themselves insane trying.]

[swordsaintseta]

Hmm... So it's something you're born with, then?

[ding_bots_are_done]

You have to be born with the potential to be a spark. Most people actually don't break through until they're teenagers.

[She only broke through a year ago, but she was handicapped by a suppressing device.]

[swordsaintseta]

Is that so... The world you're from sounds pretty interesting.

[ding_bots_are_done]

I guess so. Honestly, most people aren't very fond of sparks. And sparks tend not to be very fond of each other, so it can get pretty... complicated.

What's your world like?

[swordsaintseta]

Mm...I guess given the circumstances, it could be pretty competitive, huh...

Ah, my world? Well...I guess it wouldn't be much different from this one. Well, except that it's not secluded, and people don't come in from other worlds- and there aren't any monsters that come around at night.

...but then I wasn't really in my world just before I was brought here. I was stuck in another one, you see. It's a little complicated, and I'm not even sure I understand it!

[ding_bots_are_done]

Then Hinoto-Ri wasn't the first you went to a different world?


What kind of world were you in then?

[swordsaintseta]

[He shakes his head.]

Well...it was basically the same world, but a sort of alternate version of it, I guess you could say. Elder Tale was modeled to be half the scale of my world, but everything's overgrown and cities and technology have fallen apart. Instead, we use swords and magic to get by.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Modeled? You mean it was created on purpose? Why?

[This is getting interesting.]

[swordsaintseta]

That's where it might get a little confusing.

Elder Tale is actually an online game, or it was, until the Apocalypse happened. That's what we call it, the day when everyone who was logged into Elder Tale at the time woke up and found out that we were actually in that world, and dressed as our avatars that we played in the game.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Online? You mean it worked like the network does here?

[That's really her only experience with internet.]

[swordsaintseta]

[It's something to work with, at least!]

Yes, kind of! So anyone with a connection to the network would be able to play this game.

[ding_bots_are_done]

Hmm, it sounds interesting. It's a shame they don't have that sort of thing here. I'd like to see it in action.

[swordsaintseta]

It was a lot of fun! I don't know why they wouldn't have something similar here, but maybe it's because they have real monsters to deal with...

[ding_bots_are_done]

I suppose that when something plagues you in real life, a game about it isn't as interesting.

[swordsaintseta]

Or entertaining, at least. For some people, anyway..!

[ding_bots_are_done]

I think I'd still try it. For curiosity, if nothing else.

[swordsaintseta]

[He nods, and then blinks after glancing back towards the fairy projections.]

...a-ah, I guess they weren't interested in things like that. They're fast asleep...
