Who: Crew of the Shepherd + anyone who would be around
What: I want caaaandy!
Where: The ship and all around (catch-all event thread)
When: 9th onward

The Shepherds had picked up several new crew members in recent days, but it seemed that the world they were now in had seen fit to share with them another new addition: the presence of bowls of heart shaped candy strewn about the ship.

It seemed shenanigans were about to be afoot.

Huh? I guess I don't... usually...

[Realization of what she's doing in 3, 2, 1...]

Wait... Why exactly am I... I... I'm not sure what just happened.

[Still hugging, because that candy hasn't worn off just yet.]

I'm... very sorry about this.
selfabsorbed: (i have no idea yo)

[personal profile] selfabsorbed 2014-02-28 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? [ Regina just... looks perplexed. Why is Makopi sorry? Why is she confused? ] What are you sorry for?

[ Isn't such naive innocence wonderful?

Regina's not exactly pulling away, but she does loosen up and pull back a little, looking confused at Makoto. ]
knightlyidol: (so unsure)

[personal profile] knightlyidol 2014-02-28 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, well... I mean, hugging you out of nowhere like that was weird, wasn't it?

[Because it sure as hell was weird for her! The weirdest.

The candy seems to be wearing off, thankfully, so she finally manage to pull back some herself, too. Though she's not free just yet. So close.]
selfabsorbed: (shiny)

[personal profile] selfabsorbed 2014-02-28 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Regina seems to ponder that for a moment. Regina doesn't think hugs are weird, but when she thought about it- ] You don't hug a lot, I guess. Mana says that friends hug, but it's mostly her that does that.

You usually just... write songs?

[personal profile] knightlyidol 2014-02-28 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. Mana is like that. I'm... not really, I guess.

[Okay. Okay, pulling away now. Suddenly she can do that? This is so weird and she has no idea what just happened. And it happened with Regina of all people... As if she didn't feel uncomfortable enough around her.]

...Huh? Yeah, I suppose so, but... How did you know?
selfabsorbed: (i'm excited because i'm gonna kill ya)

[personal profile] selfabsorbed 2014-02-28 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Regina smiles brightly, even as Makoto pulls away. ] Because you wrote me a song!

[ Yup. Bragging rights. Most girls don't get songs written to them by famous idols, you know.

For the moment, that pride beats out any confusion as to what just happened. ]
knightlyidol: (UM)

[personal profile] knightlyidol 2014-02-28 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
E-Eh? I... did?

[Well, more like she will. Confusing time shit all around.]
selfabsorbed: (kokoro o koete)

[personal profile] selfabsorbed 2014-02-28 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
You did!

It goes like, [ and here Regina belts out a few lines ] "Let me sing with all my heart! I want my song to reach you, no matter how far away you are~!"

[ She looks so happy at that, yo. ]

Like that!

[ ....Is Regina allowed to spoil Makoto for a song that Makoto herself writes in the future? TIME SHENANIGANS. ]
knightlyidol: (i get it now...)

[personal profile] knightlyidol 2014-02-28 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[And then the time stream blew up, GOOD JOB REGINA.]

Huh. That does kind of sound like something I would write, actually. [So this is actually somewhat plausible. Though weird.] I guess that happens later on then.

...And I definitely wrote it for you?

The lyrics almost sound like...

[...like she wrote it for the Princess. It instantly reminded her of the reason she became an idol on Earth: to reach her with a song.]
selfabsorbed: (her heart grew three sizes that day)

1/2

[personal profile] selfabsorbed 2014-02-28 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! You wrote it for me when I was still.... [ She gestures vaguely. Vaguely for brainwahsed. ] ...you know.

But it was the first thing to reach my heart.

[ Another person might be embarrassed by saying something like that, but Regina has almost no shame. Plus, it could help show Makoto that they really were friends!

but... ]
selfabsorbed: (she said what now)

[personal profile] selfabsorbed 2014-02-28 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
...what does it "almost sound like?"

[ ...but Regina has good ears, apparently. ]
knightlyidol: (thinking)

[personal profile] knightlyidol 2014-02-28 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I... see. It's because of feeling like that that I love to sing in the first place. If it reached you, then... I'm glad.

Ah... [She heard that, huh? Whoops.] Well... I first became an idol because... I really wanted to reach someone, in any way I could. I thought that by singing, maybe I could. The lyrics kind of sound like what I wanted to say back then.
selfabsorbed: (is this candy)

[personal profile] selfabsorbed 2014-02-28 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ ....Oh. Oh.

Well.... well this was just awkward now. "It reached her through me, Makopi!" She couldn't say that. Not yet. ]


The princess?

[ ...Just going to grab one of those candies and pop it in her mouth. Something to distract herself with. Oh noes. ]
knightlyidol: (it's going to be okay)

[personal profile] knightlyidol 2014-02-28 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that's right. After we were separated when going to the Trump Kingdom, I wasn't sure what to do. But... she always loved my singing. So I thought maybe that would work.

It... probably sounds silly when I put it like that, huh?
selfabsorbed: (well hi there)

[personal profile] selfabsorbed 2014-02-28 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Regina shook her head at that. ]

It doesn't sound silly at all!

[ She didn't have much else to add, no more words of encouragement - anything else she'd say would give too much away, hurt Makoto too much.

But she did feel the urge to do something else. Regina moved towards Makoto, taking one of the other girl's hands in hers.

Comforting? Friendly? Or too forward? It wasn't exactly Regina's decision, though... not that she knew that. ]
selfabsorbed: (you heard my love confession?)

[not here]

knightlyidol: (multi-tasking)

[personal profile] knightlyidol 2014-03-01 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[Makoto's eyes widened as Regina took her hands. For a moment, she couldn't do anything but stare. It was... strange, so strange, to see Regina of all people be affectionate like this. Towards someone that wasn't Mana, even. At first, she's not really sure how to react.

Then, she smiled gently at Regina.]


I'm... glad. Hearing that makes me feel a little better about it. Thank you.
selfabsorbed: (kokoro o koete)

[personal profile] selfabsorbed 2014-03-02 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Seeing Makoto's smile, Regina returned it, giving a hesitant smile back. ]

Your singing reaches tons of people. [ Even the princess, in a way. ] And you always seem really happy when you sing, too! So I know you enjoy it, too.
knightlyidol: (it's going to be okay)

[personal profile] knightlyidol 2014-03-03 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I do. Ah... Though I didn't really know that for a long time myself. No, rather... I forgot. I actually almost quit singing not long before I got here. But I decided against it in the end.

selfabsorbed: (i'm excited because i'm gonna kill ya)

[personal profile] selfabsorbed 2014-03-04 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you didn't! I enjoy your singing.

[ Regina takes this moment to disentangled their hands, now that Makoto seems to be feeling better. And the strange compulsion is gone too, she guesses. ]
knightlyidol: (smile)

[personal profile] knightlyidol 2014-03-04 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'm happy to hear it.

[Oh, Regina let go. Good, things are a little less awkward now. Emphasis on little, because everything about this situation still screams awkward anyway.

Though there is some improvement.]


Maybe I'll get a chance to sing for everyone on the ship soon.
selfabsorbed: (and that was when i killed him)

[personal profile] selfabsorbed 2014-03-04 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Pirate ships are supposed to have musicians, you know! [ Regina says this as if she's a pirate expert. All she did was watch some pirate anime, though. ]
knightlyidol: (nothing is okay)

[personal profile] knightlyidol 2014-03-04 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Are they? ...I didn't know that.

[She knows even less about pirates than Regina, though. And that is saying something.]

I thought we weren't pirates, though.
