Party Time

[loveandduty]

Who: Everyone who wants to attend.
What: It's a party for all, but the pairing up part is for singles only.
When: Day 19 of Fiddlesticks
Where: Gym Carriage
Warnings: Who knows atm just Minako being Minako will add more as things happen.

[Minako figured she did the best she could for the party. Though she also wondered if perhaps she might not have that many people come. Sure she wanted to put singles together, but at the same time, she simply wanted people to have fun.

In the dressing carriage, people will find costumes and masks that were more gothic in nature. There was food and hopefully some forms of sweet treats for those looking for it as well as a variety of drink, mostly non-alcoholic.]

OOC: Examples of the type of outfits and such can be found here: costumes and

R-Right! I'm sure other couples must have been dealing with that problem too..

[ Since there aren't exactly a whole lot of date locations on the train. Especially not with how many people there are around - there's just nowhere to get some privacy! ]

And we've been working so hard.. It wouldn't be selfish to ask a little bit in return from the train. [ She pauses, before hesitating in that typical Madoka fashion and adding-- ] .. Would it?

[pleple]

It's too crowded.

[ Ple Two is already nervous over public displays of affection, jeez. ]

...it wouldn't be the bad kind of selfish. It's okay to... want things. Right?

[happyends]

[ What a question to ask. It's exactly the thing both of them are bad at, isn't it. It's so obvious too, since Madoka seems to visibly struggle with the question for a moment before she finds a way she can answer it and actually sound determined about it.

Hint: the way is by turning the answer away from herself, which immediately makes it so much easier to answer. Ple Two deserves everything. ]

Of course that's okay..! I-- I mean.. I think it seems like you've had a really rough time before. Back home. So.. you should be allowed to want things now. And to ask for things. The world has a whole lot to make up for you..

[pleple]

[ The most inspiring thing in the world is wanting to take care of Madoka - at least lately. Madoka should be happy, so she'll get there however works.

And Madoka gives her the cop out answer. ]

Okay.

But part of what makes me happy is you being happy. So... seek what you want as well.

[happyends]

[ The tips of her ears grow red in shame at the semi-call out of her avoidant answer. ]

I.. I'll try. [ That's the best thing that's at the same time actually honest that she can say here, right? ] I'm not.. really good at that. Um, at asking for stuff for myself, I mean.. I feel like other people deserve things first. I don't mind being last in line..

[pleple]

[ Sometimes you gotta make a call out post for your own girlfriend. ]

I... I'll take care of you, then.

[ 'I will beat up the line'. ]

And... uh. ...we could practice...? Wanting things...?

[happyends]

I-Is that something you could practice, you think..?

[ She sounds willing enough to believe it if Ple Two thinks so, judging by the tone she asks it with. ]

[pleple]

I have no idea.

[ They should ask... an... adult? ]

Uh. ...but we could try.

[happyends]

[ Honestly, that's where Madoka's train of thougth is headed at the moment. Because clearly both of them suck. And it doesn't seem like the train currently has any self help books about this topic - and that'd be kind of cold and clinical for a thing like this, right?

So although it's a little hesitant, she slowly suggests: ]

Um.. Do you think maybe someone could help us with it..? [ Someone they both trust? ]

[pleple]

[ They've got sorta-parents they can talk to about things.

Tony Stark is very good at taking care of his own needs, but maybe too good? ]

I'm not sure who to pick for this... particular topic...

[happyends]

[ She lets out a small breath - the sound makes it very clear that Madoka thinks the same. ]

Me neither.. Although.. um, with how many people we know here, I know for sure that one of them will be the right one! So I'll make sure to think about it and see if I can find anyone, okay?

[pleple]

It's a strange topic to raise, I feel, but we should be able to find someone certainly. Right?

[happyends]

Of course. The people around here are so nice.. and I'm pretty sure they'll understand some people have.. um, how should I say it.. different problems?

[ She may have used a less diplomatic word if it was just her problem, but there's no way Madoka is going to belittle any problem Ple Two is also experiencing! ]

[pleple]

...a lot of us are unusual enough, yes.

[ Aliens. Geniuses. Elves? Princes? ]
