Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Thanks ^^ Glad you like it!

My day has been fine. Just getting more homework done and paying bills, so nothing special.

Also no worries! I hope you feel better tomorrow :)

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

When Iris said the day was getting better and better, Ca had to agree. What had started out as a normal weekday with a boring economics lesson and no certainty about what was going to happen to her was turning out to be the best day he’d had in a while. He’d enjoyed seeing her reaction when he had picked her up from the hospital, and he’d even had a good time walking around with her at the mall. Now, with a full stomach and a great movie to watch, it was all adding up to be an exciting afternoon.

He was glad that she seemed to like his choice of movie too. After everything she’d told him, he’d had a feeling this would be a good one for her taste, but seeing the smile on her face just made it even better. He hadn’t known her for very long now, but he was starting to take pride in being able to make her light up with such enthusiasm. It was a good look on her, and it put a grin on his lips too.

Part of him really hoped she didn’t have a boyfriend, so when she finally got her memories back, he could ask her out without it being weird. However, he didn’t want to let his hopes get too high. Someone as fun and beautiful as her had to have a been snatched up by someone else already, right? Besides, there was still his father to deal with too. The king had been against both of the dating relationships he’d had in the past, and he hadn’t let him forget it. He already knew that if he was to try again, he was going to get another long lecture about outdated arranged marriages and why having a girlfriend was a “waste of time.”

His attention was drawn back to Iris as she teased him about being a spy. “I did, actually,” he confessed, putting his hands up guiltily. “When I was a kid, I used to follow the servants around and pretend like they were bad guys I was going to take down. Looking back on it, they were pretty patient for putting up with me.” He laughed, amused by the memory. “I promise I don’t do that anymore though.” Even if he wanted to, his father would never allow such childish behavior from his heir. Atlas was always pushing him to put on his best face for everyone, so he would be respected as the crown prince. It was part of his grooming to become the next king of Aspiria.

He drew his knees closer to his chest, finding the position comfortable as he looked up at the wall of a screen in front of them. Having already seen the movie they were watching, he remembered how the opening scene went. It started in medias res, with the main character in the middle of a high-pressure mission, eavesdropping on criminals through a vent. Of course, he recalled all the events that would lead up to this particular part of the plot, but he knew it was exciting for a first-time viewer.

He glanced at Iris, wondering if it was all new to her or if she had seen this film before and was starting to remember it. “Recognize any of this?” he asked. “It’s a pretty iconic scene. Maybe you’ve watched it before.”

That's why I try not to have it often xD I actually did yesterday because I was stuck at a coffee shop for a while (had to wait for a bad accident to be cleared up before I could go home) and I was wired all day, haha. That's why I got the banner done though. I needed to get my energy out somehow cx

Thanks! I really like how it turned out too, haha. It's always great when the ideas in my head actually look good on the screen xD Doesn't happen every time

I had a busy morning, but I'm finally free, so I can get started on my post now!

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Cirque du Sombre [Siaya Dragalorn & Summer]

Throughout her conversation with Rayth, Frieda had been… confused, to say the least. Having found the girl she had been searching for, she had let her guard down. A careless mistake. The oracles might have told her that she would succeed in procuring the new member, but she should have known it wouldn’t be so easy. Lune’s eagerness to join the circus had proven too good to be true. All it had taken to send her running was the mention of one supernatural creature—one of her most docile pets at that. She would have to be more clever to convince her to stay.
Fortunately, she was blessed with a second chance. Just as she had been thinking about what to do with the news Rayth had given her, one of her faeries had gotten her attention with a frantic wave of his arms. Looking over the vampire’s shoulder, she had watched as the tiny scout gestured to the big top, an indicator that something of importance was inside.
A victorious smile had painted her lip. She had been certain she knew where Lune was hiding.
So, unwilling to let her prize slip through her fingers again, she had quickly dismissed Rayth with a command to get some rest and rose from her seat to handle the girl, herself. It was always so with the most important tasks. She could not trust anyone else to complete them to her standards.
Pushing aside the thick fabric flap that led into the abandoned ring, the faerie spotted Lune right away. The girl was alone, and she couldn’t help but wonder what she thought she was doing if she had been frightened by the vampire. Perhaps she had been waiting in ambush?
Whatever the case, the opportunity was perfect for the ringmistress. The fewer distractions around, the better. Her faerie magic was at its most potent when one was unable to tear his or her attention away from it, just like classic hypnotism.
Striding gracefully to Lune’s side, a concerned frown spread across her features. “My dear, what are you doing in here?” She asked gently, feigning bemusement.
Of course, she would not admit that she knew more than she let on. Knowledge was power, and she intended to keep it all to herself. It was what gave her the upper hand in any situation, and this was no exception. She also wished to hear the girl’s perspective from her own lips, curious to understand what had set her off so she might be able to correct it more easily.
“I thought you were getting settled in?” she went on, taking a seat by Lune’s side in a manner by which a mother might comfort her upset child. She remained close but did not touch the girl. “Is there something wrong?”

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Was Iris blushing too? Cas could have sworn he saw a hint of pink in her cheeks. He wasn’t sure what reason she had to be embarrassed though. Her comment had been clever, even if it had been at his expense—sort of. Though he wouldn’t admit it out loud, he had kind of liked it when she’d called him Prince Charming. It made him feel like he’d done something important. Well, he supposed saving her from bleeding out in the woods had been important, but it was still nice to be acknowledged out loud.

Walking through the hall that led to the home theater, he glanced at her again when she answered his question about what kind of movie they should watch. Apparently she was a fan of action too. He was excited about that, since it was his favorite genre. At least he could be sure he wouldn’t be settling for a rom com or something else that wouldn’t interest him very much. Maybe he could even put on one of the movies he liked best, so he could share it with her.

When she added that she wanted to watch something with comedy too, he wasn’t surprised in the least. Throughout their banter, he’d noticed that she was fond of humor. She probably liked films with a lot of wit. Already, he was thinking of a few different ones that would check both of her boxes. Something with great fight scenes and clever one-liners from the hero. It wouldn’t be hard to find a movie she would like that had all of that. They were pretty popular among high borns in general.

“I’ve got some ideas already,” he smiled eagerly, looking forward to spending the rest of the afternoon with her. As they stepped into the theater, he snuck a glance at her face to see her reaction. It didn’t disappoint. The excitement on her face lit up the room as always, and he couldn’t wait to get a movie started, so she could see how much better it was when the lights went out.

“You’d better,” he teased when she said she would have to give it five stars. “Anything less than that would be heresy.” Following her over to the chairs in the front row, he watched her touch the material and sit down. At her joke, he laughed, “Well then I guess I’d better put on something that will be entertaining enough to keep you awake.”

With her permission to pick anything, he headed up the stairs on the edge of the room to the projector, where there were also cases of movie disks. He already knew which one he wanted to show her, so it didn’t take long for him to find it among the alphabetized collection and set it up to play. Once that was done, he headed back down to sit in the seat that she had patted while the screen came to life before them.

“I’ve seen this one before, so you can talk if you want to,” he shrugged in response to her question. “Oh, and by the way, these chairs are all recliners.” Reaching over to a button on her seat, he demonstrated that the leg and backrests could be raised and lowered to whatever incline she wanted. He pressed the button on his too, setting it up so that he was leaning back comfortably with his feet up.

“You said you like action and comedy, so I chose a spy movie for us,” he said, turning to her with a grin. “It’s got plenty of both, so I think you’re gonna love it.”

Ah, my husband is like that xD If there's a long line for coffee at the office he works at, he tells me he gets really grumpy, haha

I actually love doing 3D design, but it's definitely tedious! You have to model everything down to the baseboards ^^; Luckily, my professor only wants us to model part of the restaurant, so I don't have to make the entire building though!

They're so adorable and awkward cx I love it, haha. I'm pretty sure Cas is just gonna keep trying not to do anything about his crush until he decides she must not have a boyfriend, since no one comes to get her after a few more days

I'll get started on my next post now!

EDIT: I got bored and made a banner for the RP :D It's on the 0th post!

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Ah, too much of it?
I actually almost never drink caffeine. It's a once a month kind of thing at most and only when I really can't function without a boost

Yeah, 3D models are a lot of fun! I just need to renew my subscription to the software, and it's expensive :'D I've been putting it off

Iris got Cas really good with that comment xD He wasn't ready at all

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

“Oh yeah?” Cas raised a brow when Iris said she would embarrass his friends at a game. He wondered if she had remembered that she was good at playing games or if it was all just talk. It was hard to tell, since she was a pretty energetic person from what he’d seen so far. He wouldn’t have been surprised either way. Maybe she would annihilate Jay and Miles at some game that she was an expert at or perhaps his friends would wipe the floor with her. Whatever the case, he liked the idea. It had been a while since he’d had a group over to play any games at his house, so it sounded like fun.

To his surprise, she grew even more flustered than he had been when he called her out for staring at him. Honestly, he’d thought there really was something on his face or that he’d done something weird, but instead she acted like she had just been watching him because she wanted to. Somehow, he kind of liked the idea though. A lot of people stared at him every time he went out in public, but there was something different about having her gaze on him that made him feel fuzzy inside. He would have been kidding himself if he pretended like he didn’t know what it was.

Way to go, Cas. You’re crushing on a girl with amnesia, he thought dryly, downing the rest of the water in his glass. This was definitely going to make things harder. He really didn’t want to make things awkward between them, but it was difficult for him to ignore his attraction to her. Still, he had to keep doing it even if it wasn’t easy. He reminded himself that she might have a boyfriend who was probably worried sick about her. It would have been far more uncomfortable to make a move on her only to get a phone call from another guy asking where she was. He would just have to keep ignoring the butterflies in his stomach until she could go back to her family.

Despite his decision, what she said next didn’t help his resolve at all. As she called him Prince Charming, he couldn’t stop the color that flooded his face—a mixture of flattery and embarrassment. “You’re ridiculous,” he rolled his eyes as he slid off his barstool, trying to cover up his reaction with nonchalance and a laugh. Internally though, his ego had been thoroughly stroked.

“We shall,” he nodded when she brought up the movie, more than happy to change the subject. Leading the way since he knew she didn’t know where to go, he took up an easy pace for her to keep up with on crutches. “So, what kind of movie do you want to watch?” he asked, turning to her curiously. “I think you should pick one you think you’ll like, since it might help you get your memories back.”

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Sounds rough. That's a situation where I'd probably drink a little caffeine to feel more alert xD

I should! I'm mostly done with 3/6 parts, but I have to do a 3D model of the restaurant and haven't started that yet ^^;

No worries! I just got a post up for you
