( 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.]

[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.]

[sakeplz]

[That gives Jirou time to use a towel to tie his hair up so it won't get in the water. It doesn't need to get in their way and they can wash it later if they want to. Well if Gil wants to. He really has no opinions on that either way.

When the water is ready, he steps in and sits down with a happy sigh.]

Get in, Gi-chan. This feels wonderful! The only thing that could make it better is drinking sake at the same time.

[interchained]

[Usually, Gilbert would lecture him on how dangerous it is to drink alcohol while being in the water but this is just a bathtub and they're on vacation (sort of), so...]

Excuse me for a moment.

[That said, Gilbert leaves the bathroom partly naked; when he comes back, though, he's holding a bottle of sake and two cups.]

I took it just in case...of an emergency.

[He's lying. And already pouring the alcohol into the cups.]

[sakeplz]

[He blinks at the arrival of sake and the cups before his face lights up and he happily takes his cup.]

Oh sake-chan. You are so delicious and beautiful.

[And he sips at the wonderful drink then lets out a sigh.]

[interchained]

Are you...really...

[Gilbert grimaces just a little before joining Jiroutachi in the bathtub (for some reason, he removed his remaining clothes really fast). A minute or so later, he scoots closer to the other man, mumbling something under his nose. Something that sounds just like "Don't just drink sake."]

[sakeplz]

[He giggles and pulls Gil against him so he can give his cheek a kiss.]

Two of my favorite things in a bath with me! What a beautiful day!

[interchained]

[This is what he wanted and yet, Gilbert's blushing. Or maybe...he's blushing because this is what he wanted. Trying not to think about it too much, Gil rests against Jiroutachi and lets out a sigh.]

I can't believe you...

[Not for the first time and definitely not the last.]

We should take it easy from time to time, all this fighting for Blanc can be pretty exhausting. Is there anywhere else you would like to go?

[sakeplz]

Else? Didn't you pick this place as a surprise?

[He gives him a wink to let him know that he's teasing him.]

I want to go to the beach sometime. I like drinking sake on the sand.

[Where doesn't he like drinking sake though...]

[interchained]

Uh...well...

[Jiroutachi would enjoy the story behind picking this place, Gilbert's sure of that. But it's not going to be so easy.]

The beach, huh... [Does he even need to say that he's not the type to lie down on the beach and tan? It's not like what type he is matters once Jiroutachi makes it clear that he'd like to go there, though. Even if his reasoning is...like that.] You like drinking sake everywhere...

[There, he said it.]

Even here...when we could do something else.

[sakeplz]

You mean...like this?

[He takes some sake and puts it in his mouth then catches those pretty lips with his own so he can share the sake like that.

And Gil thought he only wanted this in the bath just for drinking.]

[interchained]

[He doesn't know what was he thinking but he should have predicted that sake kiss. Which he didn't somehow, but it doesn't matter that much anyway. While they're kissing, Gilbert's hand goes up to Jirou's cheek so he could stroke him gently.]

Yes...for example.

[Still feeling the taste of sake in his mouth, Gil leans in to plant open-mouthed kisses along Jirou's jawline. That would make another example.]

[sakeplz]

[He laughs a bit.]

Gi-chan, if we get too excited we'll make a mess with the water!

[He actually reaches to tug him even closer to him.]

Won't that be exciting?

[interchained]

[Gilbert, a little startled, blinks a few times before he leans forward to whisper:]

It can get messy, indeed... [At that, he makes a short pause.] I'll clean it up later, though...

[Was that a non volitional attempt at dirty talking? Well...yes.]
