Who: Lunafreya and you~
Broadcast: Nope.
Action: Yessss.
When: Now thru the end of May~

A - Doggy takeover

[ Lunafreya is not a competitive person. Mostly. And yet somehow she has found herself decked out in Starstrikers colors, although she's donning more silver than black. But she is not the only one -- her two furry companions, Umbra and Pryna also have black and silver bandanas tied around the bottoms of their left front legs. To be fair, Luna isn't in this for competition, not really. She's in it because she's having fun and so are the dogs. It isn't often that her most beloved canines get to be normal 'dogs', after all.

Come join Luna and the pups for some frisbee. The dogs are eager to run and jump after any disk that goes flying, or a ball for that matter. They will be more than happy to bring it back to you and sit patiently for you to throw it again. That's what Luna's been doing for the last few hours.

They can do more than that, though, of course. They can do the whole sit, stay, roll over, play dead thing, too. But Luna thinks that's cheating considering they are messengers of the Gods... well, fun is the whole point in this anyways, right? ]

B - Failure on ice

[ If you are visiting the more snowy area, then you may notice a certain Oracle who is very much attempting to ice skate. The keyword here is attempting. There are so many things that Lunafreya is graceful in, but unfortunately this is not one of them. Her home of Tenebrae got snow and ice during the winter, yes, but she was never allowed to go and skate or play in any of it considering she was in captivity, and even when she was allowed out and about, it was for duty, not play.

But today isn't about duty, it is all about play. Even if she's making a fool of herself as she squeaks and flails embarrassingly and makes the attempt to stay on her feet. She... may need a helping hand here. At least her dogs are cheering her on from the safety of the sidelines. ]

C - Rest and Relaxation

[ Iiiiiit's bench time. If chillaxing is more your thing, it just so happens to be Luna's, too. She's sitting on a bench sipping at a small cup of water, just taking in the sun and enjoying the weather. Umbra and Pryna seem to be ready for a rest, too. They are sprawled out in the grass, basking in the sun and snoozing away. Luna wouldn't mind some company, of course... come join her! ]

D - Wildcard

[ Want to go shopping? Swimming? Or just anything else that comes to mind?! Go for it! ]

[ Aerith is having fun wandering around and taking in everything - it's what she tries to do with every single new planet that they come across each system. This one is better than some of the others, no haunting singing or screaming or messages that makes her feel uncomfortable and on edge, and she enjoys being able to stretch her legs and find something to allow her to be at ease and happy.

The fact that Zack and Cloud are happy just makes it all the better.

Spotting Luna - and the dogs, of course - and comes over to settle down beside her, beaming. ]

Good afternoon.

[ The dogs take notice of Aerith as she approaches. The familiar face has their tails wagging and their heads lifting, and when she is close enough they both stand to happily greet her. Luna looks up and then smiles brightly... here's a sight for sore eyes. She hasn't seen Aerith in ages. ]

Good afternoon, Aerith. How have you been? It's been quite some time, hasn't it? [ If she recalls correctly, the last time she'd seen Aerith was... on that hideous planet full of cannibals. It's... a very nice change to be able to have a proper conversation without the threat of being violently murdered! ]

[ It's almost too easy to reach down and lift her hands to greet both the dogs, a smile on her face as she scratches them both, behind their ears and under their chins, smile brightening at their wagging tails. They remind her a little bit of Red, but she'd never say it - she's not sure if he'd be happy or insulted by the comparison, even if it had been so long since she'd last seen him. ]

I'm very well, thank you. It's really nice to see you again. [ She tilts her head up, looking around at the planet across the way. It's obvious that she's happier here. ] How are you? Is everything going well?

[ Umbra and Pryna are so pleased with this attention. Their tails thump loudly against the grass as they lean into her hands. The way they stare up at Aerith, it almost appears as if they are smiling, too, with how they pant and the way their eyes sparkle. Attention starved, clearly. ]

I am glad to hear that. It's wonderful to see you as well. Everything has been going alright... I went home briefly, but I am very glad to be back. [ It hadn't been so brief for Lunafreya... but everyone insists it was only three months. She smiles again and finishes off her water, crumpling the little paper cup and tossing it into the nearby recycling bin. ] How have things been on your end? Did you visit any more unsightly planets? [ There's a brief pause, before she turns her gaze up to the sky. ] What do you think of this one so far? I find it rather nice, personally... though I had no idea that people could be so competitive.

[ They're adorable, and it makes her wonder, for a moment, what it might be like to have a pet of her own. Would Zack and Cloud allow it? Would she be allowed a little puppy, or a kitten to keep? She's not sure. ]

I'm glad to have you back as well. I think there were a few people who missed you while you were gone. [ Cloud was definitely one of them. How much has he spoken to her since she came back? Does she know about her relationship with him and Zack? It always seems so strange when she tells someone the first time - especially after she first admitted it and everyone was so shocked. ] The planets have been okay since then. There was one where all the people were gone, but... We made the best of it. That's what we always do.

[ Turning her head, she smiles. ]

They have something to work towards. I think it's wonderful.

[ These two could stand to have a new playmate.... ]

Thank you very much. I am glad to be back... and I am very grateful for this second chance to be among friends once more. [ Everything at home had fallen into chaos after she got back, and she hadn't had the time to really think or... remember a whole lot about the Fleet. But then the world had been saved, the darkness driven from the star, and that was that. And now... she is here. Again. She's not had a chance to talk much to Cloud, or to anyone for that matter -- and she's still trying to catch up on events that have occurred during her ten year-- three month absence. ] That's very good, then. The planet with the missing people... ah! I arrived shortly after the Fleet arrived there.

[ And Noctis had been so happy that he'd thrown a small 'house party' just to be lazy and trash the place, but her OCD had kicked up and she'd cleaned it all up before the place had a chance to reset anyways. ]

I'm glad that you and everyone else have remained relatively safe. This particular system seems very peaceful as well.

[ Something to be extremely grateful for, honestly. ]

I do, too. Even with all of the rivalry, I have not seen a single argument or falling out. It's quite refreshing, isn't it?

[ Something to talk to her boys about... ]

I think we're all glad to have you back. It might not be the best for you to be back here, but... We're glad to see you again. [ Aerith is well aware that the fleet isn't the best thing for everyone - there are lots of people that hate it as much as she herself is growing to like it. Of course for her and Zack it's a second chance at life which, she thinks, not everyone can appreciate or empathise with, not really. ] So it's not been a very long time, then? I should have come to see you sooner than this! I'm sorry.

[ She feels a little guilty that she had been so wrapped up in her own things that she hadn't even considered it. ]

It's nice to be on a planet where things are safe and normal, for the most part. The competitions are silly, but they're fun too, right?

[ Do it.... ]

That is very kind of you, Aerith. I cannot imagine a better place to be. I am very happy to be here with you all, too. [ Luna's fate and her duty have come full circle, her star is free of darkness, and her world is ready to rebuild and start again. She is... unfortunately but fortunately forever with the one she loves. There is nothing more to do at home but sit and wait for Noct's friends to someday join them and perhaps watch the world build up again from where they are in the beyond.

She is tired and her soul is very eager to rest finally, but she is also more alive than she has been in the last ten years. Not to mention that despite the events at home, a very young Noctis is still here as well. This, combined with the fact she is able to experience both good things and bad things with the companions and friends that she's made here make this place worth it to her.

She offers Aerith a bright smile and places a hand against her shoulder. ] Don't be silly! Everyone is busy, and I should have made an effort to come and see you! Ah, I do have a question for you, though. Before I went home, Cloud mentioned to me that you like flowers... this is something you and I very much have in common. I was wondering if you would like to help me collect different seeds and flowers from the various planets and systems we visit to start an exotic garden?

[ She shouldn't feel guilty at all. Luna had been extremely preoccupied with attempting to console a very upset Noctis, and just... attempting to reassure him that yes, she is in fact back, and she isn't going to disappear on him again. She thinks. ]

I agree. It has been an amusing stay, to say the least. And these two have very much enjoyed it. [ Umbra and Pryna bark in unison, as if to sound off that yes, they've had a marvelous time as well. Luna reaches out to pet the dynamic duo, and their tails wag once more. ]

Did you join a team too, Aerith?

[ ooc; I am so sorry for the delay, hon! I've been fighting a massive tooth infection, my cat got sick and died, and it's been a mess. Sorry! ]

[Been there, done that, but he has to take a few seconds and and appreciate that he's improved enough to say that in the first place. Mantis comes close when she takes another close tumble and gives her just a slight extra nudge to help keep her upright. He glides closer to her, long having taken lessons from two experts to heart that he can (mostly) look like he knows what he's doing.]

Being out for the first time did that to me, too. Your name is Luna? I remember you from when I first arrived here on the Fleet.

[ Luna feels... idiotic, if she can be completely honest with herself. She'd gotten roped into this and she wasn't going to back out now, flailing arms and failing limbs be damned. Fortunately, a kind soul is on the ice with her. She flashes Mantis a bright smile. ]

Thank you very much. Yes, that is my name. You are Mantis, yes? I have seen you speaking with my husband. [ And nothing delights her more than seeing Noctis interacting with other people and making friends. ]

[Everyone stuggles with balance trying to figure out how to balance right. Mantis doesn't struggle as much anymore, but that smile is alarmingly sweet. He's not used to being the recipient of a sincere expression like that.

As such, it takes him a bit of stuttering to get his words back.] Y-yes. I've seen Noctis about here and there with...Umbra? I know you have the other dog with the white fur.

[ This skating thing... she assumed it would be difficult, at least. She hadn't gone into this thinking she could just step out onto the ice and look like the most graceful swan. But she hadn't quite been prepared for just how hard it really is, and she is extremely grateful for the help Mantis provides to her.

Her smile widens at his confirmation. ] Yes, that's right. Umbra has been here for longer than Pryna... apparently she arrived just after I left briefly.

[ The aforementioned dogs both bark from the side of the rink, greeting Mantis from their spots with wagging tails. Hello, friend! ]

[ ooc; I am so sorry this took so long, I've had a massive tooth infection, my elderly cat got sick and died and this month has been a mess DX I'm sorry!! ]

Noct is decked out in black too. Well. He always is but he has a silver bandana on too and he's across the field from Luna with a stack of frisbees. As soon as he throws one and one dog runs for it he throws a second on in the other direction. The dogs bring it back and he takes them... then repeat. These puppers will be worn out before sundown. No problem.

Until he gets caught up with squishing Pryna's face and pulling her stretchy CHEEKS. LOOKIT YOU CUTIE.

These two dogs have the most energy she has ever seen in animals. To be fair, it's mostly because they aren't exactly normal dogs and their recovery rate is phenomenal. And yet, divine beings or not, the dynamic duo certainly act the part of loyal canine. Luna can only watch in amusement as the dogs take off in opposite directions and jump up into the air, catch the spinning disks of plastic, and immediately bring them back to Noctis to eagerly await his next throw.

Which is good! Because she has taken to sitting on the grass and watching the trio right now. Pryna's tail is a blur when Noctis squishes her adorable face, and you know what? She is cute. She VERY cute and she knows it. The pup jumps up to ~~Noct knock him down so that she can properly pin him and begin licking his face. Which in turn causes Luna to burst out into a fit of uncontrollable giggles.~~

No! Dog attack! Oh gods, Pryna isn't a dog who realizes how big she is. She's heavy and she is like a puppy, she just glomps on him and licks him all over. Her paw plants in his chest and he struggles.

"Pryna... Pryna--urgh, nono back off. Sit." She sits her bottom down on his body and licks him more. He groans. Umbra trots over and whines at him for attention or more frisbees. Noct can be seen flailing under the pile of fluff.

"Luna!"

This is one of the most amusing sights she has seen in a very long time. All she can see of Noctis is his arms and legs kicking and flailing and two whining dogs who are harassing him for his attention. Can he hear her laughing? Because she is. She is laughing pretty darned hard, too.

She does stand up and move to help him finally though, not wanting the dogs to do any actual accidental damage. She gently nudges Pryna off of him who whines and lays down, tail still thumping, and she crouches down to pet Noctis' face, the smile she wears showing just how amused she actually is. "Who would have thought that the Chosen King would fall to a pair of messenger dogs..."

He can and it's the worst thing in the world. Great. She's laughing at him....

He is plotting his revenge.

He has his eyes closed as Pryna gets off him and slowly he opens them to see her. She's so gorgeous with the light behind her. Her hair lights up and glows and she's so beautiful... it would be a shame to trip her but he does.

"Who would have thought the oracle would fall to a mere king?"

Sweet, dear Noctis. Whatever revenge you cook up... she can take it. And she will take it like a champ.

She's petting both dogs, who look pretty pleased with themselves when it happens: the balance has literally been tipped, because down she goes with a quiet 'oof'. And for a few moments, Luna sits there, wide eyed and confused... did... did Noctis just...

T r a i t o r.

She huffs out a laugh and pulls a handful of grass from the ground, before tossing it at her dearly beloved. "That wasn't nice, darling~. Especially after I saved you."

It was glorious! What a fall! Look at her hair float as she descends to the ground. Those bright blue eyes so sparkly when she's confused. Hark, there is no traitor here. Only a smug young king.

He flips the grass off his face. He reached to ensnare her by the arm and pulled her in for a kiss.

"You laughed at me, you meanie."

TRAITOR. She cannot believe how traitorous that was. The betrayal is real. She pouts at him, but it's halfhearted because he looks silly laying there with dog drool and grass stuck to his face. Silly... and yet, very, very handsome.

Her pout turns into a mischievous grin as he tugs her close for a kiss that she is quick to reciprocate. She hums softly at his words and tips her head to the side.

"Did I?" She sounds far too innocent as she leans down, as if getting ready to kiss him again. But that is merely a distraction, because her hands are moving to reach under his arms to tickle him. This is what happens to dear kings who attack their oracles, good sir.

The image she just witnessed is the opposite of handsome. It's kind of ridiculous and maybe ugly. But Noct appreciates the compliment nonetheless.

He means up to miss her only to squirm and cry out.

"you... You wouldn't!"

Lies and slander is what that is, dear King. But she supposes now it is she who is the traitor, considering their current predicament. She grins down at him, looking extremely pleased with herself as she lifts her hands up in a rather menacing fashion.

"Wouldn't I, Majesty?" she wiggles her fingers... and goes in for the kill. And... by kill, she means the Big Tickle, naturally. "I believe that I would~."

She's a shame to her people and her bloodline. Oracles are supposed to support and aid their kings... WHY ARE YOU HITTING HIS WEAK SPOTS?

"You evil tart." he chuckles at his own use of that word. Silly as it is he likes playing with his wife this way. Until he's suddenly flailing and scrambling for freedom. "No no no. gah-- wait a second-- Luna! "

She is the first in her long, long line of Oracles to betray her King.... first time for everything, though, right? She's hitting them BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT.

"Oho, evil tart, am I?" She grins, clearly enjoying herself and very much enjoying the fact that at the moment, she has the upper hand. She likes playing like this, too... it's a nice break from the formalities, after all. Especially when he's under her, kicking and flailing about. Sorry, husband, but she is going to sit right on top of him and pin him. "Say you are sorry for making me fall, and perhaps I will let up." That's a big maybe... she's going for his ribs now.

Is she proud of herself? IS SHE?

"You bet your life." and he flails some more. He is not good at this, he is very ticklish and if she were anybody else he'd be fighting them right now but Luna... Luna gets away with this. He grits his teeth though, he's not giving up. He will not be defeated... on his back, with her sitting on him, knowing all his weak spots... okay this isn't looking good.

"You won't and we both know it. Just name your price."

She's the proudest she has ever been, thanks!

"I will take that as a compliment, darling." Her grin widens, and her hands move from his ribs to his stomach. Damn right she knows his ticklish spots, she knows them like the back of her hand by now. And she also knows that she is getting a pass because she is his wife~. He looks so miserable right now... adorable and miserable.

"I will, you have my word. Say you are sorry and you won't do it again." She pauses, looking thoughtful. "...Also, you have to say 'Lunafreya wins, I give up'. But loudly."

Well... he's pretty proud of her too.

He may or may not make a high-pitched unflattering noise when she does that. He may or may not lift off the floor slightly... she sees nothing. She knows nothing... he is a Cool Guy. And yes, he may or may not resemble a grumpy cat.

He sighs at the order. But then he groans at the second one.

".....Do your worst...."

Aww... it's a shame that she has to sentence you to death by tickles now, hon.

That high pitched noise has her giggling with delight. She is so pleased to have the upper hand at the moment, to be sitting atop the Chosen King. Dare she say she is... having a power trip at the moment? She hums and tsks softly, lifting her hands to give him a moment of reprieve.

"Okay, then." That's it. That's all the answer he gets as she comes back down on him, her assault doubling. She goes for his underarms, his ribs, his stomach... she goes for his legs, and she is even leaning backwards enough to where she may or may not be attempting to pull off one of his boots.....

Does he not get pity points???

He is blushing dark right now. You. Did not. Hear that. Oh, have a power trip all you like. He gasps as she stops. Is she having second thoughts? Or is this the moment he has with his executioner just before the final blow?

He should have known. He should have tossed her off him but instead, he has a singular instant of looking at her terrified. Then he is flailing and kicking as he calls out and surely makes a hell of a scene for anyone in earshot. "No no no, NOT THE FEET. Luna you wouldn't.... you... you would..."

Heck no he doesn't get any pity points. This is serious business right now, sir.

Oh, oh she definitely heard that. She's going to have this little power trip. It isn't often she gets to do this, okay? She's all smiles right now, good natured enough... even if their situation is a little dire at the moment. Rather, HIS situation.

He could toss her off and she wouldn't be angry, just throw her like a rag doll if he really wanted to. But he isn't... sweet man that he is. Unfortunately, his kindness is goin to be rewarded with tickles if he doesn't cave in. She beams at him and laughs as she manages to wiggle his boot off, and she's leaning even further backwards until she's damn near laying back on his legs. "Say it, Noctis. Say you are sorry, and that I win. You have five seconds to comply..."

Already, her hand is inching towards his foot...

No mercy at all?

You are gonna get it later. He's gonna pout so hard... he's gonna... actually he will try that now. Now that she's going where it's weakest.

And throw her like a rag doll? What the hell sort of vows did they take when they married? No way, she's his wife, not some... whatever she thinks she is. He feels cool air on his foot and he just hits her with puppy dog eyes, a pitiful pathetic stare.

How can you torture this poor man who only wants to love you?

No mercy. None whatsoever.

Sure she is. The last she checked she was the one pinning him down... oh...

...oh.

Well this isn't fair at all. Luna pauses mid-reach and looks at him, really looks at the face he's giving her right now. This is the face of a man who feels defeated, clearly. The face of a man who knows that everything is on the line in this very moment.

Her own face softens, and she sits up for a moment. Sweet man, she loves you, too. More than she can ever say...

...but that doesn't mean that she's not going to tickle the ever loving crap out of you right now, Noctis Lucis Caelum.

So she flashes him the biggest smile she can muster and leans backwards, and goes straight for the arch of his foot.

WHY YOU GOTTA BE LIKE THAT

He is just going to lay here and take it. Deep breaths... Focus on something else. He will not give in. Never.
