Teenagers Scare the Living Shit Out Of Me etc. etc.
[Characters passing by the bulletin board may notice a new message tacked to it!]
Drinking party at the bar at 8pm. Under 21 only. Adults will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Fun and games included, party hats optional. Don’t be late!
[Sure enough, there’s a gathering of teens (and maybe some not-so-teens?) to be found in the bar! While the posting mentions this is a teen only event, adults are in fact allowed as long as they are cool. OOCLY please be aware there are going to be teens drinking alcohol and possibly smoking! Also additionally, please let the teens/players have fun; again, adults are allowed but only if they’re cool enough to play along without snitching them out!
All party game top levels are going to be made under Ahito’s account but please assume ICly that Akira instigated/explained them! Once the game toplevels are up you can also post your own toplevels to mingle freely if you like IDK IT’S A PARTY HAVE FUN]

( It sounds like a fairytale - but perhaps most tales of things simply working out do when you're someone who's learned to live in fear. )
... But you and he didn't worry that he might be happier with someone else.
( They were set on each other, without wondering if the other would better flourish somewhere else. )
no subject
I am a prize.
[Look at all of this confidence.]

The remark about appearance draws the faintest arch of a raised eyebrow - but it does not negate the rest. While none of those are qualities Mika cares for, it suggests more than enough on what Ithaqua values about himself. It is a greater quantity of things than Mika could list, if asked of his own advantages.
However, he is curious: )
Are those things that make him happy?
( These are things that Ithaqua likes about himself. They may even be things that Urianger likes, too. But do they do his heart good? )
no subject
He'd tell you other points about me that he likes, but... Heheh. Ask him, or ask Ahito. He did pry into us earlier, after all.
But know this-- I, the sum of my parts, make him happy. [Then he reaches up to brush the back of his fingers along Urianger's beard.
It's clear that this relationship is.
Gross.]

Anyway, he doesn't seem outwardly bothered by the PDA - if it's one thing the vampiric decay has aided him with, it's keeping that kind of thing off his face in front of people who can probably skewer him easy - however, Ithaqua's phrasing, in this moment and the moments prior, can't help but draw his attention to the subject Ithaqua's appearance once again.
He has seen it, as it used to be - and Ithaqua looked perfectly normal then, though the stark shift in his skin's tone and his apparently unnatural eyes suggest his look has changed. That, and how he never seems to remove his mask, if he can help it. )
... The sum of all your parts together, but not your appearance?
( The sum of all his parts - it sounds as if he intends to brush past an individual piece or two of himself he may not quite enjoy, given Ithaqua had already pieced out his appearance as an exception earlier.
Frankly, it's rude to ask, but Mika is rude, so. )
no subject
Behind my mask is a horrendous visage, made uglier if I were to wear any sort of expression. [Which is often! Because he's an expressive fellow.
It just so happens that he's quite a nasty person when he wants to be (which is often), and that twists his face all sorts of ways.]
no subject
... Did something turn you?
( You had a normal face before, after all. )
no subject
And you have seen the memory. [He points at Mikaela with an unnaturally long finger.] You know that part well, do you not?
[Him, his twin, their faces. The way his twin twisted his expressions so.]
no subject
... Wouldn't he love that, too?
( Said, as if it were a given. )
no subject
That, I shan't be asking him.
no subject
I do.
no subject
Is this what Urianger has been feeling ever since Ithaqua opened his mouth to interrupt Mikaela.]
no subject
Anyway, Mika nods at Urianger like "yeah, thought so," glancing at Itha going briefly down for the count. )
... I think if someone actually loves you, it only makes sense that they love all of you, no matter what. ( Corny? Maybe. Hush. ) Even if... maybe they shouldn't.
( And this is not a criticism of Urianger, or either Ithaqua, though it could perhaps have been better articulated: he speaks from the perspective of a vampire, of someone who hates himself, and what he is, and that he is a walking corpse.
The prison that is his body disgusts him, and that Ginger loves it hasn't exactly helped him make peace with himself yet - but... accepting that Ginger finds something in his frame to love is easier than learning to love himself. So it's not a gesture without worth. It's not something he wants to reject, even if some part of him says he should, for Ginger's sake. )
