( open ) mid-autumn in gisela

[hoasen]

Who: Anyone who wants to celebrate Mid Autumn Festival!
When: Roughly 11th September to 17th September.
Where: Gisela
What: A log for those who wish to use their tickets during Mid Autumn Festival! You can still use this log for visits outside of this week too (as a catch-all) but the script is for the festivities. Basically what you can do is hang out at the Inn, at Gisela, or check out the island's hot springs!
Rating: Probably PG only for if a lantern catches fire or something.


[Welcome to Gisela, the floating sky islands above Gresser! Known for its mystic scenery, hot springs, and the fact that you nearly died the one time you had a dungeon here, Gisela could be considered a popular vacation spot. Or at least it should be, because Vietnam invested good money into this inn.

Inn, you say? Yes, after the defeating the dungeon, Vietnam bought a business here, an inn near the hot springs, Dragon's Flight and Phoenix Dance. A normally quaint inn, it has transformed to offer more festivities. Staff will welcome you with elaborate fruit displays they will put in your room for you to admire (and eat). You may also like to sign up for mooncake making sessions, where you will be able to make mooncakes together with your friends and family! Share a moment with them, and then share the mooncake. Nice.

Lanterns are strung up, leading you out towards the gardens. The inn itself doesn't have a lot of space for A GREAT FESTIVAL, but on certain nights, there will be lion dancing and a few stalls opened up to sell souvenirs, all handcrafted thanks to Vietnam's instruction. Now, lion dancing usually consist of two or more people under a lion costume, however, some generous NPCs have lent them some tame magical lion beasts that look similar to the Asian mythological kind. However, Vietnam and Kija also found a pretty wild one that seems to be stuck eating some lion snacks, because they tried to wrangle it and before they could run, they were forced to commit. Kija named it Jae-ha.

Go further, and it seems like the hot springs that Vietnam has permission to use have also a bit of decoration themselves, with something heat and water proof, that is.

Should you just want to spend your time looking at the moon, darker, quieter areas of the gardens will let you do just that. Sit down and relax, of course.

If you don't really care about any of this at all, perhaps you'd just want to go sightseeing in Gisela!

And basically do whatever you want in this place, really. RELAX, HERO.]

[sakeplz]

Probably because someone was adorable when he made the request for our date.

[He wasn't even there when you made the call and he knows, Gil.

Watching him, he notes how Gil is getting better with chopsticks and beams at him. And even gives him a quick kiss.]

Looks delicious. Let's eat.

[interchained]

[Two people freaking out and shouting at each other can be cute in its own way.

As for the chopsticks, Jiroutachi doesn't have to know how many hours he practiced (and how much food ended up on the floor because of that). But now, he's doing surprisingly well with the noodles.]

Also, I thought that we could go out in the evening and watch the moon together. What do you think?

[sakeplz]

I'll bring the sake. It'll be nice to have drinks under the moonlight.

[Oh dear. His boyfriend is the cutest little romantic. What shall he do with him? He just settles for smiling at him for now and eating a bite of food after a sip of his drink.

...Actually perhaps he will do something sooner than he planned.]

Gi-chan, do you remember how I said I'd wait before sharing my surprise?

[interchained]

[Simply imagining it is enough to bring a smile to Gilbert's face when he's done chewing. Fortunately, he's not trying to pick another piece of food up with the chopsticks when Jirou asks him about the surprise (because something would most likely end up on the floor).

How could he forget, really.]

Of course. Did something change?

[Gil raises his brows, eyes fixed on the other man.]

[sakeplz]

[Mostly just whim. But he doesn't explain that as he continues.]

I have a house in Caissa. I'd like you to live with me there and share a room together.

[He laughs softly as he adds:]

We were wanting a bigger bed after all.

1/??

[interchained]

[Oh. What did he say again...]

[interchained]

[No, he must be kidding.]

[interchained]

[But what if he's not kidding...]

ah, yes, i'm done

[interchained]

[His face turns the brightest hue of red possible in a matter of seconds, really.]

Bigger bed not bigger...well, building!

[Why is he yelling and flailing so much? Gil has no idea, even though he's the one who should know such things. Being angry is the exact opposite of what he's feeling now, after all.]

[sakeplz]

[Jirou smiles as he watches him.]

Even though a building will have a kitchen, a garden, and a room we can share without having to worry about bothering a roommate sleeping in the same room?

[You're cute, Gil.]

[interchained]

[Now he really feels like an idiot about shouting at him earlier. But before Gilbert speaks again, he needs to clear his throat:]

This sure is a better alternative.

[He's mumbling, but at the same time he's smiling softly to himself.]

I can't believe you did something like that. I...

[Pretty sure that Jiroutachi knows what his answer will be already, Gilbert pauses on purpose and looks away.]

I can't wait to see our new room.

[sakeplz]

It has three bedrooms and an extra room we can use for something fun. It also has a garden and a cellar for wine.

[He didn't pick it for that reason. What are you talking about.]

I made sure the bed is nice and big too since we're both rather long. But most of the decorating isn't done so that way you can help me with it.

[Oh!]

And the kitchen is nicely big too.

[interchained]

[Even though Gilbert's fully aware that getting up from the chair and walking away from the table during a meal is considered rude, he does that anyway once Jiroutachi is done speaking. All this to embrace him from behind and press his forehead over the top of the other's man head.]

You really thought of everything.

[Even a cellar for wine...]

Thank you.

[sakeplz]

[He doesn't seem to be bothered at all by Gil getting up. Nope. He just smiles and leans back against him, tilting his head back to smile up at him. It ends up with their foreheads touching but that sounds good to him!]

Well I'm not as dumb as I make myself out to be, remember?

[He laughs a bit then encourages him to move his head so he can give him a peck on the lips.]

So I take it that's a yes for you living with me.

[interchained]

Of course I remember, you idiot. [Said as lovingly as he only could.] I'm trying to imagine how hard you had to work...

[His encouragement is successful; Gilbert shifts a bit to make things easier for him.]

Yes...you had me at the bigger bed and the kitchen, I suppose.

[Apparently, Gilbert doesn't really want to go back to his seat...but there's still lots of food left.]

[sakeplz]

[Jirou can see how Gil doesn't want to go back to his seat. So he does the perfectly obvious solution of tugging him around.

And onto his lap.

See? They can eat and cuddle at the same time.]

It's a very large bed too. We are both very long people after all.

[interchained]

[He doesn't let Jirou tug him so easily at first, but finally Gil just gives up and settles down comfortably on his lap, blushing brightly.]

That's good, I won't have to worry that you fall down or anything when we'll be...sleeping. Now eat up.

[With that said, he takes one spring roll with the chopsticks and turns a bit to feed Jiroutachi.]

[sakeplz]

[He opens his mouth and takes a bite of the roll so that way Gil can have the other part of it. This is a very good way of sharing food.

And lets him be lazy. Bonus.]

Mmmm. Yummy.

[interchained]

[Double bonus: Gilbert has an opportunity to practice using chopsticks. This way the spring rolls are soon gone.]

I need to get the recipe.

[It's not like he wants it because Jirou enjoys the food so much, not at all! There are still some mooncakes left, though.]

Do you want one or should we leave them for later?

[sakeplz]

Mmm...later. We can have a bath and look at the stars first. What do you think?

[Sounds like a plan to him anyway. Jirou knows he's going to be looking forward to both of these things.]

[interchained]

[That's exactly what has been on his mind for a while, even though bathing together brings a bright blush across his cheeks.]

We...can.

[Actually, his fingers are already wrapped around Jiroutachi's wrist as he's tugging him lightly.]

[sakeplz]

[He can't help but to laugh at the way he's tugged after him but doesn't resist. It's true he likely could but why do that really? He wants to be near Gil when they're together like this.]

Have you been really waiting for a bath this whole time?

[interchained]

Excuse me?

[His reaction is simply the best proof that what Jirou said was true—Gil's such a bad actor, especially when he tries to sound like it's no big deal.]

Stop making things up...

[sakeplz]

You have! That's so cute!

[He laughs with such delight as he opens the door then just...disrobes. Because he has no shame. What even is shame anyway?]

[interchained]

[Whether Jirou wants it or not, he has to listen to Gilbert grumbling for a little while, at least until he starts stripping down. Then he just falls silent. The thing is, it's not like he's shocked about Jiroutachi being, well, so carefree about it. Actually, his mind draws a blank when he tries to come up with an answer to why can't he spit out a single word.

Also, contrary to Jirou he's much, much slower when it comes to removing his clothes. Shortly after, he even finds an excuse for his sluggishness.]

I'll prepare the bath for...us.

[There's not much to do save for filling it with water and optionally adding a bubble bath.]
