( 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.]

Comments

[sakeplz]

[Well of course he thinks so. But someone doesn't let him say so because someone is kissing him. Not that he minds, of course. It's really nice! Especially since he gets to feel that passion that Gil has for him in the process.

Yes. Moments like this are lovely.

When the kiss ends, he gives him a silly grin.]

Mmmm. Gi-chan is getting so much better at kissing. I won't be able to keep up.

[interchained]

[Watch out Jirou, you may break him with your bold comments...]

Of course you will! I-I'm not that good...

[It's not like he's the one who can judge that, but still.]

Besides it's—um, thanks to you.

[He almost said that it's Jirou's fault.]

[sakeplz]

That you're getting so good at kissing? Is it because we practice so much?

[Come on. You know you want to admit to it. Just say it~]

[interchained]

[Gil knows that he knows that he knows and it's making this needlessly difficult. Not to mention complicated.]

You know the reason, damn!

[Of course he does and he's not letting go until Gil says it out loud, is he?]

Of course it's because of that!

[It's not like he's been reading on various techniques or anything.]

[sakeplz]

You're cute when you're flustered.

[Seriously. This is why he picks on you so much.]

I bet you've been studying how to do dates and kisses and everything books too.

[He's seriously guessing on that one but considering the type of person that Gil is...]

[interchained]

[He's glad that he can deliver...expect he's not, but that doesn't matter much. Gilbert may even realize that Jiroutachi's doing that on purpose, but he falls for whatever he has prepared for him every single time anyway.

Now, though, he's trying his best at keeping up a poker face. The blush that has spread all over his cheeks and even neck and the tips of his ears isn't helping at all.]

I-I'm not, of course I'm not doing such things...how does one study how to date someone anyway?! Or how to kiss?!

[He knows exactly how and his attempts at trying to hide it are rather miserable, too.]

[sakeplz]

I don't know. You tell me.

[No really. He would love to hear this one.

So don't mind him. He'll just happily wait for an answer to this one because it's sure to be good.]

[interchained]

[Jiroutachi may just be smiling innocently, but it doesn't take long for Gilbert to give up. But while giving him an explanation, he won't look the other man in the eye even once.]

There's...there's that dangerous books section in the Grand Library. It has pretty much everything you need to learn about...various things. K-Kissing included.

[And many, many other things...]

[sakeplz]

Oooooh? And what else have you been reading about besides kissing?

[You opened this particular door, Gil. Good job.]

[interchained]

What...else?

[Why didn't he anticipate that sooner...it's only natural that it'll be the next thing Jiroutachi asks about. And he's entirely sure that Jirou wants to hear about his alchemy studies.]

...

M-Mana. M-Mana e-exchange.

[He feels like an idiot for stuttering like a youngster, but it can't be helped.]

[sakeplz]

[He's known that's what he's referring to but to hear it is another thing. One he enjoys. He laughs softly then pulls him in for another kiss.]

The naked kind?

[Yep. He's going to keep pushing you because this is cute.]

[interchained]

[Jirou may have put it subtly without using the s-word, but it doesn't change the fact that Gilbert's cheeks are bright red now.]

Yes, the naked kind.

[Yet his voice isn't shaking anymore.]

I just don't want to fuck anything up along the way...

[It's Gilbert...these things are prone to happen, so he has to make sure.]

[sakeplz]

You know that's half the fun right? Figuring things out along the way?

[He giggles and runs his fingers through his hair.]

That's how you know two people trust each other. When they can make mistakes together and still love all of it.

[He gives him another kiss then pulls him nice and close.]

Right, Gi-chan?

[interchained]

Is it? Is it fun?

[He's genuinely surprised here.]

I can't afford any mistakes while doing something so... [The right word won't come right away, so there's a forced pause.] ...important.

[Visibly tensed up, Gilbert gradually relaxes after the kiss.]

Maybe...maybe you're right.

[sakeplz]

Of course I'm right.

[He walks his fingers up his chest and neck then boops him on the nose.]

What matters is that we both have fun right? That we both feel good?

[interchained]

[He follows Jiroutachi's fingers climb up lazily up his chest, relaxing even further.]

Of course it matters. It's the most important thing, even. You...

[Gilbert begins, but shakes his head the next moment. Something's still on his mind and he's visibly struggling...

The words finally come out when he turns his gaze away from Jirou:]

Have you been thinking about it...?

[sakeplz]

Yes. But I was waiting for you to feel like you were ready. Just like when we started dating I wouldn't push you into any of this. Promise.

[Jirou smooches his cheek then rests his chin on his shoulder.]

So are you really ready?

[interchained]

I know you wouldn't. You're not that kind of a person...

[Well, alright, maybe he is. But not when it comes to serious matters.]

Is "I've read all the books already" a good answer to that question?

[Okay, save for that Fifty Shades one. Also, Gilbert trying to be funny is such a rare sight...]

[sakeplz]

That just means you've read the books.

[Catching his face between his hands, he turns him to face him completely.]

Are you ready?

[interchained]

[Once he's forced to look at Jiroutachi, Gilbert gives him a soft smile and gives him an answer without stuttering or making pauses even once.]

I am ready, Ji-chan. I want to do it with you.

[sakeplz]

[It's the fact that he doesn't hesitate or stutter that tells him everything. Gil is really ready. They might have some awkward times but Gil is ready to try. That's enough for him to give him a quick kiss.]

When we go to bed later lets try.

[interchained]

Ah?

[The kiss didn't particularly surprise him, but Jirou's words, on the other hand...]

Here? Now?

[His heart is beating so fast that he debates pulling away from Jirou for a moment to calm himself down a bit.]

...Alright.

[The plan was to draw back, but what Gil does is the exact opposite—he leans in for another affectionate kiss.]

[sakeplz]

[He giggles a bit.]

When we go to bed yes. After all it's all prepared romantically.

[Oh but now that he thinks about it...]

Did your books tell you what position you should be in?

[interchained]

[It is. It really is, why haven't he realized this sooner? All those roses and, well, everything...]

I thought it's something we need to decide.

[He's not going to survive through it if Jirou will keep asking such direct questions. And Gilbert has a hunch that he's going to hear plenty of those...]

[sakeplz]

Decide? It's what feels right, silly.

[And he kisses the tip of his nose. Silly, Gil.]
