"And who may you be?"
My eyes were on the blonde man as he stood infront of me now, looking at me intently
"I am Aventurine of the IPC's Strategic Investment Department."
I nodded, seemed easy enough to understand
"A Non-Performing Asset Liquidation Specialist and subordinate to supervisor Diamond. I was invited by the Watchmaker."
A.. what?- Too much information to get through
"By the Watchmaker? Must be very special then." I looked at him up and down, I first noticed his unique eye color and a.. serial number on his neck?
I meaan if the Watchermaker found him handsome.. I'll agree. But a serial number on his neck.. that's interesting.
"Checking me out infront of guests? This pretty angel seems to have a little crush on me." Aventurine said in a VERY flirty tone
"I'm simply.. looking at you. Please dont take it the wrong way."
I shook him off and then turned to The Express Crew
"While what Aventurine said is true.. I could find another way for this situation."
"We'll be in your debt, Miss (Name)." Welt nodded
"I could ask my brother.. he's the organizer of this era's Charmony Festival."
I then heard some familiar footsteps behind-
"Asking brother? I thought you were strong enough to fight for yourself-"
I was strucked when I heard Robin's voice-
"Ah look whos here! The most handsome man on Penacony alongside renowned singer from across the universe, Robin!" Aventurine turned to them
"Robin- S-Sunday!! Hii...! Its so nice to see you-"
"Please this way, Aventurine. Let us speak in private. (Name), I will deal with this issue as soon as possible." Sunday smiled at me. Him and Aventurine shortly leaving for their matters
I nodded
I was fine.
...
MY BODY WAS SHAKING- ROBIN PLACED HER HAND ON MY SHOULDER-
I'm done. It's over-
March suddenly spoke up
"Wait. Are you... Epsilon's superstar-If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking that's your song, isn't it?-" She put her hands to her mouth
Robin giggled "I never thought a cutie like yourself would be a fan of mine."
"Wait.. you both oddly look similar." March looked left and right, to me and then to Robin
"Oh? You didnt know? We are sisters." Robin pulled me close to her and she did a peace sign
I awkwardly did a peace sign... feels like deja vu.
"SISTERS??-" March looked like she was about to faint-
Welt stepped up "Are you both members of The Family?"
Robin turned to welt
"I am a guest like everyone, (Name) is part of the Iris Family. Penacony is my hometown, but I left when I was older. I was invited to return and sing a song at the Charmony Festival alongside (Name)."
I smiled brightly now
Damn did I want the festival to start already-- just imagine singing with Robin..
I then suddenly felt a note in my pocket..
As Robin was talking with The Express Crew, I took out the note and it read
'Meet me in my room. You know which one it is. - Aventurine.'
I stared at it
...
I dont know.
Looks like I'll have to walk through the hotel halls for this.
~☆~
As I walked through the halls of the hotel...
Yeah they all looked the same, there was nothing unique other than the sounds.
Until I heard a very familiar voice inside the room 666...
"What do you want to talk about?"
I stood right next to the door and pressed my back against the wall, leaning in close to eavesdrop..
This is out of curiosity.. I'M NOT A STALKER-
I shook the thought out of my head and listened in
"My goal is simple. Help the IPC retrieve some things that belonged to them.If you agree, when this is done, you will gain great rewards, as well as the Preservation's protection."
Stelle and Aventurine's voices..
Is he striking a deal with her.. what does he mean by some things.. is it my heart- cough cough.
I then heard someone stop right infront of me
"What are you doing outside of my room?"
I JUMPED-
"Ah- Apologies Miss.. Acheron." I awkwardly smiled at her
I greeted her alongside Sunday. She's a galaxy ranger... thats cool.
"But.. there are people inside your room-"
"It's alright." Acheron flatly said and entered the room
...
(HAHAHSHSU I HAD TO INCLUDE THE INGAME IMAGE LMAO)
...
"Your.. room?" Aventurine looked at Acheron confused
I was peaking my head from the outside and my eyes immedietly locked with Aventurine's eyes-
He winked at me... and mouthed some words
I could clearly read his lips...
'Let's head into a more, private room.'
~☆~
"I didn't know you had access to this lounge, pretty angel." Aventurine was endulging himself with some liquor
"People usually offer me these things. I apprecciate them of course." I smiled, looking down at my grape juice
The liquor in the hotel is too.. strong. I specifically ask Gallagher to make my drinks a bit sweeter
"Let's cut to the chase now." Aventurine placed his glass down
I placed my glass down aswell and looked straight at him
"(Name).. Penacony's hottest idol.. pft~ I didn't know you were a stalker."
Eh?
...
I blinked twice
"I may have eavesdropped in on your conversation.. but I'm no stalker--"
"Let's get to the point now.. shall we?"
Well- okay then. I nodded
"What is it that you wish to talk to me about?"
"My goal.. I'm sure you've heard it loud and clear."
I nodded again.. what even is he looking for exactly-
"I'm reclaiming some things that once belonged to the IPC..." he repeated
"But what things exactly.." I mumbled and I didnt even notice him inching in close to me
"How about a little game first?"
His hand held my chin and he tilted my head up so that both of our eyes were staring at eachothers
"Beautiful.. absolutely beautiful." His other hand went to caress one of my wings-
I was blushing-- AAAAAJSJSKKDDJ
"Let's start.. heads you will help me or tails.. you will not be obliged to-"
"It seems this peacock is short of a feather or two."
I heard a sharp voice from behind
Aventurine stopped what he was doing "What is it Ratio? What's that face for?"
"You were late. Incredibly late. Not even a sloth could be later than you." Dr. Ratio scoffed
"Even trying to seduce Miss (Name).. such a wrecked peacock."
He walked closer.. seemingly worried for me
"I was only playing a little game with her.. what do you say? Pretty angel?" Aventurine turned to me
I stayed quiet... until my lips formed into a smile
"Gambling? Sounds delightful."
Have I done gambling? A couple of times in the past
Do I need to avoid it? Yeah.
Do I want to? No.
"The game's on! Let's have our handsome Ratio do the coin flip."
Aventurine pulled out a coin from his pocket and threw it over to Ratio
Ratio looked down at the coin and then to Aventurine
"Another coin. This one has been tampered with."
My eyes widenned..
Yeah this is exactly gambling. The game rips you off.
"Thought you'd stay silent about it." Aventurine sighed and pulled out another coin, throwing it over to Ratio again
"Tch. I'm only doing this for Miss (Name)." Ratio caught the coin and examined it
"That's better." He then flipped the coin into the hair, slamming it onto his palm
"And it is.."
I was sweating..
Aventurine waited in anticipation
"Tails."
~☆~
I actually started another account just to be able to replay the Penacony story quest (and to get Acheron aswell)
But it still feels like I'm getting stuff wrong, what I get for skipping dialogue LOL
Also-
HOT DAMN- IM NOT A WAITER BUT I WAS HIS TI-
Sorry, one of my voices took over.
Love, Skky♡
