Event Three.





I come at night, and in the day.
I'm always there, do what you may.
You may think that I hate the light,
Because it is what gives you your sight.
But truthfully in light I trust,
Because for me it is a must.
Left or right, or down below
I'll follow you, fast or slow.
You really can't escape from me,
So tell me now, what I may be.




t's always with you. Your friendly shadow, always following you, step by step. There's nothing wrong with that, right? That could never, ever go wrong...

The Town's starting to look better, the situation is starting to improve bit by bit -- there's a bit more color to be found. But it seems as though the characters' adventurousness has stirred up something that may have been better left alone, and that's caused a change in something very close to home.

Because amidst all of this optimistic color restoration, something's lurking, right behind everyone's every single step -- and as the day dawns and everyone begins to bustle about, some mischief is finally, properly afoot.

It might be better to stay by the light this week.

[ Please don't bully him for his aesthetic!

But it feels like she's trying to go somewhere that he's just going to derail if he says anything about the belts, so he...waits, to see if she finishes. ]

[Aesthetic won't keep them together in the forest, Joshua! Unless you'd rather she latch onto your scarf--]

Well we could... hold hands?

[Ah, there's that shy tone she gets when she's trying to propose something lovey dovey. Clearly there's an ulterior motive here.]

I could let go as soon as we both need them free, and....

...I do like that idea better.
brightlyshines: (pleased)

[Estelle blushes a little brighter, but there's a happy smile on her face at his agreement. She's kind of been wanting to try that awhile.]

Really?! Great.

Why wouldn't I?

[ He's blushing too, but - gah, it gives him happy butterflies thinking about it? ]
brightlyshines: (cheerful blush)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-05-01 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
I mean... well. You know.

[Estelle actually doesn't know?! But. She's still new at this relationship thing, ok. She's also got happy butterflies as she goes stumbling over her words.]

....I really like being close to you.

[ He still has a hard time believing that, sometimes - not that he doubts her sincerity in any way; it's just that he's so bad at seeing in himself whatever it is that she sees in him.

He looks down at their hands. ]


I know you don't want to hear me say it feels like a dream. But sometimes it's...still hard to believe I can be as happy as you make me.

[No, she doesn't, but...... she can understand that he's being honest here. Can understand that it isn't so simple, considering everything Joshua's been through.

Estelle is blushing a little more at his statement, but she glances up at Joshua, smiling slightly. Someday, she believed, Joshua would be able to accept it. Until then....]


Well, then I'll just have to remind you as many times as it takes, huh?

[She squeezes his hand lightly, heartbeat thudding in her chest. If he needed a reminder, then...

She leans up, aiming to press a light kiss to his lips.]

[ It takes him a moment to realize where this is going.

She'd said before that he owed her a redo, after all, but then they'd been interrupted, and then there was all of this, and somewhere in the chaos of being dumped in a weird new place and needing to organize and forage and do all the things associated with not starving, it had just kind of...fallen to the wayside.

And until she actually started moving in, it hadn't really occurred to him that with the disparity in what they remembered, maybe this...was something else he's behind on.

...sweet Aidios, she is really gonna do it. ]
brightlyshines: (kiss)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-05-06 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Unfortunately for Joshua, she didn't yet realize they hadn't had that redo kiss yet. If she had, she might be a little more shy about it, but after falling from the sky in each other's arms, you start to feel a bit braver about some things.... just a bit.

Some things were just so much more important.

She leans up, lips touching his in a light but fond kiss, trying to convey her love, her appreciate and her joy that he's here with her right now. It wasn't something she'd ever stop being thankful for.

Because he makes her so, so wonderfully happy, just by being by her side.]

[ Surprised as he is, it takes him a moment to lean into it, and when she finally pulls back, he looks happy, but...sheepish. ]

I...didn't do much to make that better than the first one, did I?

[ Well. Aside from not drugging her and running off to save the world alone, anyway. ]
brightlyshines: (Huh really)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-05-06 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
The first..... huh?

[Estelle looks confused for a few moments, though a little flushed still. They were long overdue for a proper kiss, but considering everything going on....

Oh!]


Did you get here before we....?

[She trails off, embarrassment returning as she remembers her demand at the time. Really, if anything, she'd just missed him so much that she might have... ok, she had been a bit pushy about it.]
whereabout: call the cops (i murdered the dance floor)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-05-08 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...yes.

[ He scratches his head, eyes going to the side. Maybe he should've just shut up and pretended? He wasn't trying to make anything more awkward. ]
brightlyshines: (flush)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-05-10 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Joshua, that is not the solution to this issue. Really now--]

Oh man that's.... I can't believe I didn't realize sooner...

[And Joshua doesn't know about-- aaaaah.]

....Guess I'm the one who owes you kisses now, huh?
whereabout: over sex for the third time this week. (i chose cheese fries)

[personal profile] whereabout 2018-05-14 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Just...if you want to! I don't want you to feel like you owe me anything.

[ Not about anything this serious, anyway. Making someone kiss you is a far weightier matter than holding them to doing the dishes because you already took care of the laundry... ]
