[ :)

terrible. anyway. temenos will catch up with todomatsu and let him take his arm, covering his hand gently with one of his own briefly in a nice gesture of yes, i am such a kindly priest! he's tracking owner with his eyes, too, looking for that swathe of bright red, and listening to the conversation. the guests get sick, huh.

... ]


The wealthy group had been here a total of nine times, and have a strong distaste for the common folks. Perhaps our 'blossoming' is a seed that sprouts - or perhaps something that is born.

[ gods. maybe that's what a heartseed is. temenos looks thoughtful even from behind his mask, and then shakes his head a little. ]

Let's wait for Kazuki to catch up. We ought to head in together, even if is isn't obviously so.

[ help i just meant he hoped he could pick out that particular servant in a crowd later to maybe ask them some questions while queen bee's in the bathroom or something

ANWYAY he's also pretty (unsure) at owner's deet about the getting sick thing — and also like, shit, i used the wrong word, but blooming and blossoming are the same thing so innocent mistake for a clueless first-timer right???? if anything that probably makes him LESS suspicious because he clearly doesn't know shit about this event so there's no reason to think he's here investigating it!!!!

despite all of this he's successfully keeping his enthusiastic smile on his face and quietly contributes his own mini report. ]

It was the first time for most of that servant group, but there was one who I think knew something who looked pretty nervous...?

Also if anyone asks this gown is totally a Dior and you all saw it in a magazine.

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-03-05 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ what is a dior.

anyway, owner is just going to walk over to where kazuki is. he doesn't like... join the group, since he obviously does not fit in with a bunch of musicians, but he is just going to sort of trail behind the musicians so he can keep an eye on him. he will make eye contact with temenos and todomatsu so that they are aware he knows where they are.

ok time to go inside FINE SNOW. WE'RE PROGRESSING THE CYOA. ]

Gross. It would be all those bougie florals, too. Bad mix.

[ he's following bat guy inside okay!! he's going!! ]

[ hmmm. okay.

well, this is a lot. twenty years of these ceremonies. blossoms and blooms, another mention of the food - it's a lot! it's a lot. the entire way through temenos is keeping his ears open, listening with a quiet, growing sense of unease, though you'd never see it on his face. he briefly gives kazuki a smile when he rejoins the group, but otherwise is focused, eyes sweeping the crowd under his mask. he looks for good ole racist 1 and racist 2 in the crowd, checking to see what they're up to short of judging, and follows the gaze of the ornate businesswoman to incline his head slightly.

he murmurs a quiet: ]
Into the belly of the beast. [ just loud enough to be heard by the others, tone dry and at least seemingly relaxed. ]
drymonster: (🎀 wow)

[personal profile] drymonster 2024-03-05 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ cheerfully waves to queen bee when she raises her glass toward him while sweating internally. and maybe externally a little, it's humid.

but yeah, this is shady as hell. he's definitely pausing to note the more nervous-looking people in the crowd... are there particular things they seem to be wary of? like, is there anything they seem to be deliberately not looking at? are any of them drinking the champagne or are they avoiding it? ]
discomfort: (namazu)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-03-05 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh boy. what does he mean by harder? what the hecky is going on here.

owner will take a glass of champagne just so it does not look like he is avoiding it, but just fakes taking a sip to be safe. he will move a little closer to kazuki, not quite close enough so they look like they're definitely together, but just so that he can reach him quickly if needed.

is there any area in particular that looks like it is more guarded than others? ]
teenrebellion: (🎶 9.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-05 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ none of this sounds good. since he's posing as entertainment, kazuki will not drink any champagne, but. he's keeping his eyes on the crowd, watching this guy in the silks with a frown. is anyone talking about what these "prospects" are...

also he's going to touch his earpiece and whisper, ]

Were there nausea meds in that med kit? Maybe one of us should stay behind so we don't all get sick?
inquired: (98)

[personal profile] inquired 2024-03-05 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah this is unsettling. when offered the champagne, temenos will take it, though he just holds it for now, watching the reactions of the indulgently thrilled for a long moment before looking back to see what the announcer guy is up to now that he's finished making his speech.

is the crowd just waiting, or are they starting to mill towards the garden? should we follow? these are the questions that temenos considers for the moment, listening to kazuki and then...

... adrastea. the crackly sound is unpleasant and makes him shut an eye behind his mask, briefly, and the silence feels almost deafening in the buzzy oddness of the room. that's not good. one hand tightens around his staff, and for the thousandth time, he wishes he had his spells. ]


Stay calm. [ quietly, just to the others - moreso for kazuki and todomatsu than owner, owner's a freak like him so they're both probably fine - but he does tense up under todomatsu's hand. ] We will have to continue.

[ they can't just bolt out of here, because that would be insanely suspicious, and... maybe it's just like the eudora, and whatever's wrong with it will magically fix itself at the most inconvenient time possible. ]
drymonster: (don't think edward would approve of that)

[personal profile] drymonster 2024-03-05 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ todomatsu's following owner's lead with the champagne and is just going to pretend to take a sip without actually touching any of it — at least he's got a lipstick print on the glass now so it looks like he did — but otherwise, he's just sitting there and waiting to see where this heads next.

...and then adrastea's crackly voice is in his ear saying something unintelligible and it's everything he can do to keep the smile on his face as he thinks WHY ARE YOU THIS UNHELPFUL AT EVERY JOB YOU HAVE???? ]


Right. No problem.

[ warily watches the announcer... ]
discomfort: (aonyōbō)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-03-05 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ the message cutting out is not a good sign.

still, he will keep his expression to one that should be akin to someone who is here for the first time and is excited. he looks over at the plants-- is there anything about them that stand out, besides just looking fancy and large? what about the one near the guarded door? does that one look special compared to the others? ]
teenrebellion: (🎶 9.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-05 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ ah. that's not good. but... at least they probably have nausea meds, if they need it? god. at least kazuki can use his cover to hide the anxiety - he's just a new performer feeling the nerves, that all. nothing to see here.

he is going to look for anything that looks like it could be interfering with the signal - any obvious tech, or just something out of place. maybe the guards have radios or something that would do it? ]
inquired: (98)

[personal profile] inquired 2024-03-05 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ boy this is a bad sign. listening to the people's commentary is even worse. at this point, the anticipation is only making it worse, but he's never been better at anything than keeping a cool head.

the energy thrum makes him grip his staff a little tighter. temenos' gaze sweeps across their group, briefly, and he exhales. they'll need to keep where they are and move naturally. do people go rushing forward to be the first to see, or is the entrance more controlled?

he tries the communicator thing one more time just to see if it will work - calling quietly for adrastea - and then shakes his head. okay. truly useless for conversation time to go see the horrors. ]
drymonster: (but i forgot what i did to fix it)

[personal profile] drymonster 2024-03-05 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ seriously, what the fuck is this ceremony... todomatsu is just keeping himself attached to uncle tem's arm as he cranes his neck to try to get a better look at that tunnel from a distance. ]

Come on, we don't want to be the last ones in~!

[ cheerfully keeping up the pretense for appearances though the tightening of his grip says actually he would be fine with that!!! ]
discomfort: (jatai)

[personal profile] discomfort 2024-03-05 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ well, owner will walk over to kazuki. ]

Hello, have you seen a bracelet around? I dropped it, and no one has been able to find it...

[ just says that part loud enough that anyone super close to hear, just in case anyone overheard owner asking the guards about it earlier. keeping up pretenses!!! but then he will whisper to him in a lower tone, ]

Remember not to wander too far from me from here on out, Hoshino-sama.

[ everyone else is looking at the tunnel i do not have much to add here besides LOOKS AT TUNNEL ]

[ immediately glances at owner's wrist like HOW DID YOU LOSE YOUR SPACE SUIT before it hits him that this probably an act. ]

Uh, no, sorry. I've been a little busy getting ready...

[ or something. with a nod, he adjusts the guitar on his shoulder and moves forward, sticking closer to owner and keeping his eyes on the crowd, especially looking for any other musicians or equipment. ]

[personal profile] drymonster 2024-03-05 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ todomatsu does in fact briefly glance back in the direction they came through like WE COULD JUST LEAVE ACTUALLY but apparently that's not what they're doing and he's probably going to get jumped by security if he tries so

here we fucking go toward the tunnel of probably not love ]

[ THEY REALLY COULD JUST LEAVE!!!!!!!!!

honestly at this point owner is just kinda curious what kind of fucked up weird shit these rich people get up to. like is this going to be horny weird or gruesome weird or what

these are the thoughts that run through his head as he go into this tunnel................. ]
