"Noooooooooooooooo, you sure don't!" he chirped as he climbed into the sheets. Once he got situated, he draped an arm over his partner's waist, his mind running though the day's events after the man commented on it. "Yeah, but it was really fun!" he responded, pausing as images of orange fluid running down past his field of vision to Vale's seemingly lifeless body being dragged through a portal flickered past in the blink of an eye. "-Uh, you know. For the most part!" he corrected himself with a giggle. "I had a great time~" Cyrus grinned and sighed in relief as Alti stated how much he'd enjoyed today, despite the drama and the rough patch near the end. The scientist nodded sleepily in agreement, leaning forward and kissing him softly. "Well good. I had a pretty damn nice time too. Fuck the end of the night. That doesn't have to ruin anything," he hummed before yawning, continuing his thought once his yawn would let him. "Guess we'll find out in the morning what they've got planned for tomorrow, yeah? Hopefully something fun..." Letting his eyes fall closed he curled up under the weight of the other's arm before pausing for a moment. Opening his left eye, Cyrus did a visual sweep of Alti and commented, "Those pajamas are cute by the way," before chuckling and closing it again. |

"I used to want to be rid of these powers," He spoke softly, his voice barely a whisper, "I wanted them gone because they would hurt people. But then...things happened. And without this aura that has caused others so much pain, I wouldn't even be able to move. And then there really would be no place for me anymore." He closed his eye tightly as tears threatened to form. "All of this...was a mistake." Alraada's breath quickened at his outburst. She'd never be able to calm him down at this rate. She reached out tentatively and wrapped her arms around him. "I understand." was what she could late out. She let go of him, worried that she was making things worse with the contact. "I-I mean, I couldn't understand half of what you're feeling...but....I'm happy that you could realized your powers are something you needed." she spoke calmly, with regret in her voice. "And also...I understand what you mean to want your supernatural aura to just...disappear." she sighed and shook her head. "Your aura is extremely powerful, and it comes with a huge burden to bear, along with people coming after you with every step you take. Nothing about this was a mistake, Vale, you need your aura, and don't think for a second that I won't stand with you if anything may....threaten you because of something like that that you can't control." she spoke calmly, although one could tell easily that she was getting fired up. "I'm glad you could understand that your aura is important before anything happened."
A mix of emotions filled her voice at the last sentence. Sympathy, sadness, slight happiness, rage. "Remember, you're important." she shook her head. "I'm sorry if I'm jumping all over the place...I just.....you don't have to worry. I don't know what mental stuff comes with your aura, mine was--" she cleared her throat. "I don't know. I couldn't know the half of it. But know I won't judge you for it. It's you in the end. Everyone has their reasons for acting the way they do. So don't worry about that around me, ok? I won't get mad, I won't kick you out of the room. I'm your "soulmate", right?" Her words her kind, and very obviously from the heart. But she confused herself. She was convinced at the beginning of the experiment that soulmates weren't real. Maybe she's just giving herself a reason to have Vale trust her. Who knows. But, thats what she was saying anyways. "Just don't worry. Because if we are soulmates, everything will work out right in the end." |

Opening his left eye, Cyrus did a visual sweep of Alti and commented, "Those pajamas are cute by the way," before chuckling and closing it again. Alti listened to the rest of the scientist's words, a warm smile followed by that strange fuzzy feeling from earlier creeping up on him as he watched the tired man quietly doze off. It was then after he tried to follow the man's lead that he realized that the lights were still on. Mm, better take care of that. I can't sleep with that on! Before he could turn his attention over to the light switch, he was slightly caught off-guard by his soulmate waking from his brief wink of slumber to pay him another compliment, a light blush tapping at his cheeks. "Aww, thanks~!" he chimed, squeezing his partner with one arm and leaning in to give Cyrus a peck on the forehead. Once the man fell asleep again, Alti turned back towards the switch, sliding his arm off of his soulmate and out of the sheets. He brought his hand up, opening a small portal in front of it that led to the switch and pushed his hand through. Flicking the lights off and sliding back to his initial position without the aid of sight, Alti slowly nodded off, pleased with the outcome of the night. |

Vale winced again as Alraada hugged him, but when she pulled away he almost started to reach for her to come back. When she finished speaking, he gave into that desire and wrapped his arms around her, stifling the sob that threatened to escape his lips.  "Y-Yeah," He managed to say after a few minutes. "We'll be fine." His voice held no conviction.
"Oy, don't you make that shit ice!" Nace sneered before ripping off his shirt and pants and heading into the bathroom as well. |

Alraada smiled. "Yeah...it will....don't worry, ok?" she wrapped her arms around him in a comforting embrace. She'd hoped she'd calmed him down...but this was nice.... Maybe they would just stay like this for a little while... ---------------------- All the couples went to sleep. Or did whatever they did, I don't know about Nace and Amil. They never sleep. The scientists announced that Cheri and Iksel would have some extra tests done on their auras, but their soulmates were heavily encouraged to go on the date with the rest while they were getting their tests done. After all, it was time for cosplay shopping!! They were to go to comic con, and why would you go to comic con?  ? without cosplay? The couples (and Piami and Galystris) arrived at the shop. So, is it now time to show off how dweeby you all are? Or, are you going to pretend to be cool still. Whatever you do, it was fine to begin a new day!! Date: Commence! |

Aberdeen dragged themself out of bed, the 'excitement' of last night's Twister session still fresh in their mind. They looked over towards their partner, who'd still been sleeping and chuckled lightly. They walked out of their room and off into town in their pajamas, people on the street giving them dirty or worried looks as they passed by. Aberdeen had forgot to put on their head, and simply thought everyone was looking at them because of their sweet sonic pajama bottoms, which they wore with pride. After about half an hour, Aberdeen returned to the hotel with a box of donuts. They reentered their room and place the donuts on the table as they lightly shook Maicy. "Psst, hey wake up." They spoke softly. "I got some breakfast for us" They kissed Maicy on her forehead as they walked into the bathroom and went through their morning routine of picking out their outfit and attaching their head, but not before having a delicious Maple Bar. 
Amil rushed into the bathroom as soon as he woke up, scrambling through the medicine cabinet for anything that would ease the awful hangover pounding the back of his head. They swallowed two Aleve pills and downed a bottle of water before beginning their morning routine. He'd just finished styling his hair when a thought reentered his mind. He had won the bet. Today, Nace was going to be his bitch. The thought alone brought a wave of ecstasy coursing through the man's body, his excitement becoming very apparent in particular areas. A sinister smile spread across the man's face for what that would entail, and he immediately left the bathroom without bothering to put his clothes on just yet. He scoured the room for the leash Nace had pulled out at Wisney world, ultimately stumbling upon it in the pocket of yesterday's attire, and folded the leather in half as he walked towards his partner's bed. With all his strength, he brought the leash down as hard as he could onto Nace's chest in an attempt to wake him up. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING, SWEETHEART~!" He shouted, knowing if that smack to the chest hadn't woken him up his screaming surely would. "As I'm sure you recall, you lost yesterday's bet! While you did so in a cute way, that doesn't mean I'm not going to milk this for all it's worth~" He chimed as he pulled at both ends of the leash. He licked his lips and spoke again. "First things first~! Get out of bed and bend over it!" He snickered. {Spoiler - Click to View}  "I have the wooooorst case of morning wood, and I think that ass is exactly what I need to fix it~"((Time Skipping now)) Amil walked back into the restroom after holding nothing back on his partner, utterly pleased with himself as he began getting dressed. Hundreds of thoughts of how he could possibly take advantage of this prize coursed through his head, each one bringing an even more devious smile to his face than the last. He downed another bottle of water before walking out in his designated outfit for the day. "Hurry up and get ready!" He commanded. "We're going shopping for a con today, and I can't wait to pick your outfit out~" He snickered as a shit-eating smirk dawned his face.  [/div] |

The scientists announced that Cheri and Iksel would have some extra tests done on their auras, but their soulmates were heavily encouraged to go on the date with the rest while they were getting their tests done. After all, it was time for cosplay shopping!! They were to go to comic con, and why would you go to comic con? ? without cosplay? The couples (and Piami and Galystris) arrived at the shop. So, is it now time to show off how dweeby you all are? Or, are you going to pretend to be cool still. Whatever you do, it was fine to begin a new day!! Date: Commence!After events of last night, Piami had trouble sleeping. In order to have her sleep, she had to listen to a song from..... Love Live? Was it? Piami has never seen the anime or played the game but goodness gracious, that one song from their is so catchy that she actually got it from iTunes and have in her iPod. She didn't want to disturb Iskel though, so she had her earphones on. After 15 minutes, she felt tired and finally went to sleep. In the morning, when Iksel and Cheri are being called for extra tests on their aruas. In the meantime, everyone else. (Paimi and Galy included.) got to go cosplay shopping! While she does feel bad the Iksel or Cheri can't come, she does understand the situation. So, in the meantime, it's Cosplay shopping!! Before she has to go to the shop, however, Piami went to the cafe and had some crepes filled with nutella and strawberries. Once Piami finished her food, she clapped her hands together. "Thank you for the meal!" Piami chimed. She then began to think for a moment "I wonder if I can hang with Galy for the shopping." she's spoken out loud "I know I need to make friends here if I needed some support." And, oh yeah. Giaile, Jim, and Josh are keeping guard. The latter two have a massive hangover after drinking some much alcoholic drinks to forget last night's events. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maicy forced herself to sleep. After the indecent with Twister, screwing up trying to make Aberdeen feel better again, and going through a horrible phone call with someone that made her middle school life a living hell, she needed her sleep. That being said, Maicy felt somewhat well rested. Maybe? There's a bit of distressed within Maicy. However, she's not going to let it overtake her. She's determined to make sure the next day goes well. Once morning came, Maicy was still alseep. Having dreams of what would've been like if Aberdeen would've introduce them to her friends from home. Given how majority of them know when Maicy been through in her teenage years, as well as Celesthy, Heremia, and Junkyo experiencing the same shit Maicy had been through, it might be very likely they would accept Aberdeen. Some may be surprised at first, sure but they'll accepted after a while.They reentered their room and place the donuts on the table as they lightly shook Maicy. "Psst, hey wake up." They spoke softly. "I got some breakfast for us" They kissed Maicy on her forehead as they walked into the bathroom and went through their morning routine of picking out their outfit and attaching their head, but not before having a delicious Maple Bar. At that moment, Maicy had woken up, with Aberdeen waking her up. She didn't mind, though.
"Heheh, I'll up soon" As soon as Maicy got up, Aberdeen was already in the bathroom, probably doing the usually routine. Maicy got up and stretch her back. She sat at the table that place the donuts at. Maicy ate some of the donuts. Once she is finished, she went into her closed and changed into another casual wear "Thanks for the breakfest, Aberdeen~!" Maicy chimed "Maybe I should get something for the both of us next time." ((CASUAL WEAR, BRUH))  |

Amil walked back into the restroom after holding nothing back on his partner, utterly pleased with himself as he began getting dressed.

He downed another bottle of water before walking out in his designated outfit for the day. "Hurry up and get ready!" He commanded. "We're going shopping for a con today, and I can't wait to pick your outfit out~" He snickered as a shit-eating smirk dawned his face. Nace groaned as he awkwardly adjusted the collar around his neck, frowning that he couldn't quite get a good middle between comfortably tight and loose. He settled on it being a bit too snug so it would be rotating around his neck all day. He shuffled through his bag before pulling out a bright pink blazer and some holey jean shorts (I don't want to draw this rn lmao). After getting dressed, he joined his soulmate at the door, wincing a bit as he straightened up his back. "Could have gone a little bit easier on me," He muttered, but there was a smirk on his face. "Still a whole day ahead of us, champ."
Vale woke up bright and early, taking the time to go into the bathroom and wash his suit from the first date in the bathtub, as well as cleaning himself up in the usual fashion. He flinched a bit as he cleaned the hand-made garnet, remembering he had promised the winner of Twister something as well. He should hold up his end of the bargain. Perhaps as a peace offering. Once he was ready, he went over to the arm chair in the sitting area of their room and proceeded to make a quick call to his mother. He left out most of the events of the previous night, trying to keep his tone chipper but quiet in case Alraada was still sleeping. |

Aberdeen chuckled and waved off Maicy's suggestion. "It was no problem! The scientists are paying for pretty much everything, so its no big issue spending a bit of money on breakfast." They shrugged. "Speaking of which, the scientists said we're going shopping for cosplays today, cuz apparently comic con is coming up! Should be fun, right?" They cheered, excitedly remembering the multiple stories from when their friends would frequent different cons and tell them about how fun they were.
Amil grinned at the collar around Nace's neck, snapping the leash into place and wrapping it around his hand a few times before pulling on it to bring Nace closer. "That WAS going easy on you, sweetie~" He chimed before kissing his partner and biting Nace's lip. "You wouldn't be standing up right now if I'd gone all out with you!" He giggled as he unwrapped the leash from around his hand and walked out the door.
"And yeah, a whoooooooole day~" He chuckled. "Which reminds me, I have a rule that I'm giving you. No causing any sort of harm to any supernatural you come across." He stated, the smile he'd been wearing fading for a moment. "And lets keep your shitty attitude towards them to a minimum as well. I want you on your beeeeest behavior!" His grin returned with that last statement as the two descended the stairway. "Who knows, maybe you could make some friends~"

They cheered, excitedly remembering the multiple stories from when their friends would frequent different cons and tell them about how fun they were. "Oh sweet! How did I miss that announcement?" Maicy became pretty excited. She remembers being in a convention twice, one time in middle school around middle school, though it was more of an anime convention. Despite that fact, this was more of Maicy's happier memories. Given...well....the assholes from her middle school were not there. The second time is when Maicy was 18 after needing some cheering up after her company got bankrupt. That was also fun, despite the fact Maicy, Celesthy, and Junkyo made complete asses out of themselves with how much of dorks they were. (Mainly Maicy.) "Oh man, I have to decide what character I should go as." Well.. actually.. Maicy has decided but it's like it may or may not be extremely hard to find. Also, this would probably make her look like the actual dork she is. Ah well, Comic Con is the time to be dorks, right?Maicy walked over to Aberdeen, with a warm smile. "So, shall we get going to cosplay shopping?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Piami walked upstairs to get herself more prepared. Giaile, Jim, and Josh followed her so she can be safe. She went into her room to get a lavender cardigan to put one. You never know how high the AC will be! Just before she had to leave, Piami recieved a text message. It's from Tensai. She checked the message. -------- T: Heyo Piami. I'm going to send you a music file and I kinda want you to listen to it whenever. I won't go into any further details-------- Piami tilt her head as she became a little confused. Just then, she recived the music file Tensai was talking about. It's title "Knowing_the_Way_It_Is.mp3" "I think I'll listen to that later. I gotta shop. I know who I'm going as~." Piami got out of the room and loudly chimed. "FUKO IBUKI WILL ARRIVE SOON~!"" Ahhhh! Pip's! Not so loud!" Josh whined "Whoops! Sorryy!" |

Date: Commence!Cyrus groggily stirred from his bed upon the date announcement, staring blankly at the ceiling for a few moments as he tried to summon the energy to force himself up and out of bed. Cosplay shopping? Comicon? He wasn't entirely familiar with either concept, his nerdy interests starting and ending with the source material. Rolling to his side, he collided with Alti who had once again opted to share the bed with him. Not like he could complain though. After years and years of sharing a bed, and the previous months filled with sleeping alone, it was surprisingly nice to have another person sleeping in such close proximity once again. Kissing Alti's cheek, he shook him gently to wake him before climbing out of bed. But before he began to go through the motions of his daily routine, he called up room service, ordering two plates of strawberry crepes and a cappuccino. Sustenance and copious amounts of caffeine. After the food had arrived, he started to get himself ready to go shopping, or whatever it was the scientists had them doing. He had no idea what to expect from a convention, or cosplay store, and his ideas as to what they would even do in such a place were rather... limited. Guess I'll just have to wait and see, huh. This time around, he and Alti would be discovering something new simultaneously: the absurdly geeky world of conventions.  |

He left out most of the events of the previous night, trying to keep his tone chipper but quiet in case Alraada was still sleeping. Alraada woke up groggily, mentally punching herself for not being able to sleep. She leared of where they were going through a note under the door, and she couldn't help but grin. She had a T-shirt from a video game she absolutely adored, and decided to throw that on. She was in a cosplay shop, right? It was only natural to act like a dork. -- Once they made it, Alraada looked at the place with stars in her eyes. She seemed ecstatic to check the place out. She looked around and realized. Oh yeah. She may be blamed by association for Vale's freakout, and Vale would be avoided like the plague today. She sighed. Well, whatever. If people were gonna avoid her because of Vale, they were idiots, and Alraada doesn't like idiots. She looked at Vale briefly. She doesn't like idiots for the most part. "FUKO IBUKI WILL ARRIVE SOON~!" Galystris looked towards Piami inquisitively. This was the soulmate of the other person who had to dissapear. She considered approaching Piami, and stepped towards her breezily. She stopped herself before she got too close. Her soulmate wasn't here, so she didn't have any obligations to be nicer than she actually was. She stepped back again and pulled her phone from her pocket. Maybe now was the time to go through her texts. Or not, she didn't want to bother. Adrianne was probably expecting a response though. |

His grin returned with that last statement as the two descended the stairway. "Who knows, maybe you could make some friends~" Nace flinched at the mention of keeping his hands off of supers, reaching a hand up to rub the back of his neck. He rubbed the ring on his finger carefully and it vibrated back as though it were purring. He was lucky he'd just charged the fucker up the day before, or today could have been a mess with this whole leash business. But he would be fine. So long as he didn't have to activate it any time soon. "One day of being nice? You're killing me here," He only half-joked. "When I suggested this leash thing I was thinking more along of the lines of physical pleasure instead of mental pain." He left it at that though, knowing his partner would take advantage of anything he let slip on a day like today. "You can't make me be these people's friends though. That is certainly a bridge I have successfully burned." He smirked as though he were proud of this fact.
Vale shifted his feet uncomfortably, looking up at the store as though it was the gateway to hell. He certainly was less than enthusiastic about seeing the others. Apologizing to them just felt awkward and strange. How does one even bring that up in conversation? No. It was better to avoid everyone for now... He glanced at Alraada, feeling a bit sorry that she was dragged into his mess. As everyone constantly was. He would try to make today a better day for her. The park had gone so well. If only he hadn't screwed up the evening. "Where do you want to check out first?" He said clasping his hands behind his back and leaning forward to read her expression better. |

Also, this would probably make her look like the actual dork she is. Ah well, Comic Con is the time to be dorks, right?Maicy walked over to Aberdeen, with a warm smile. "So, shall we get going to cosplay shopping?" Without any further delay, the purple couple made their way to the designated shop. The walls and racks were lined with all sorts of costumes, fabrics, and props, much of which Aberdeen did not recognize. Despite not being familiar with the surroundings, their eyes sparkled in wonder at the sight of such intricate costumes and badass 'weaponry.' The fighter began hurriedly making their way down the halls, eyes darting back and forth between all the different options. "These are all so coooooool!" They chimed, excitedly. "I need to watch some of these shows!"
Amil chuckled at Nace and gave him a toothy grin. "Oh trust me, there'll be plenty of physical pleasure throughout the day" He chimed as the two entered the main lobby of the hotel, the Twister board now gone. "I'm not gonna force you to make friends with anyone, but you know what they say! Catch more flies with honey than with vinegar! Maybe if you had at least PRETENDED to like the supers, you could have lured them into a trap? Killed them off much easier?" He snickered. "Not that it matters now! But for future reference~" ------------------------------------------ The two arrived inside the cosplay shop, many of the other contestants already being there. Amil's eyes scanned the walls at all the tacky outfits that lined them, rolling his eyes at the sight. "The con would be much better if we had time to MAKE the costumes." He muttered to himself as he dragged Nace along through the store. Being here did raise a question the man hadn't thought to ask. "So, is there anything you 'geek out' over?" He asked. |

He had no idea what to expect from a convention, or cosplay store, and his ideas as to what they would even do in such a place were rather... limited. Guess I'll just have to wait and see, huh. This time around, he and Alti would be discovering something new simultaneously: the absurdly geeky world of conventions. Alti wriggled in irritation, grumbling softly after his soulmate rolled onto a few stray locks of hair and locked him in place until the other man got up to wake him. His eyes fluttered open, a flushed Alti immediately using his renewed freedom to roll onto his back and push his bangs out of his face while his mind was at work processing the scientists' earlier announcement. We're going shopping? he thought as he sat up and rubbed the back of his neck in confusion. What's cosplay? And Comic... con? What... He lowered his brows at the thought of being clueless at yet another date, the familiar state of confusion at this specific time bringing back the unpleasant memories from the infamous first date. Alti looked at his partner, a bit embarrassed to ask the other for an explanation, but then brightened up at the sound of crepes for breakfast. He pushed his question away, figuring he'd catch on as they went about their date. Wasn't like it was a main concern, really; all he needed to focus on for today was keeping his violent tendencies on lockdown so that the two could have another good experience. With this in mind, Alti happily climbed out of bed to freshen up and wait for breakfast. When the food arrived, he thanked Cyrus for being so considerate a few times before digging into what had to be one of his favorite dishes now. "I'll go get changed now! Be back in a few!" he chimed after he tore through breakfast, quickly jumping into a portal to change into some casual attire and fix up his hair. It was a ponytail again. They seemed to work, for some reason.  Pushing his glasses further up the bridge of his nose, Alti stepped out the rift a few moments later and motioned toward Cyrus to leave. Once they were out, he blew a kiss at his stuffed animal before closing the door for he did not intend on bringing her along. Just to be safe, he re-opened the door and portalled her away with a snap of the fingers to a place where she'd be safe, then re-shut it. ----------------- When they made it to the cosplay store, Alti didn't really know what to make of any of it. Judging only by the brief glance he gave the shop, he couldn't imagine why anyone would buy anything here. The costumes were bizarre and cheap-looking, and the customers weren't any easier to look at. He couldn't shake this heavy feeling in his gut the entire time he stood in front, like he had be in the know about something in order to truly appreciate any of this nonsense. He couldn't stand it, but had to deal with it. It was their date, after all. He'd just have to swallow his pride and play along or something. When the realization that he'd just been staring at the entrance for an uncomfortable amount of time finally hit, Alti uncrossed his arms and looked over to the scientist, trying to look as supportive as possible. "So!" he beamed, gesturing into the store, "After you?" |
