Bracelets for the soul

Alraada’s face turned an even darker shade of pink.
He seemed to not be annoyed with her proposition.
She looked at his hand, dumbfounded for a brief moment, and then back at his face.
With the beautiful music playing, she really felt like this was a moment out of those fairytales she loved to read when she was little. The thoughts of coming out the other side and living in one got her through tough times when she was younger.
She smiled lightly and tentatively took his hand.
“If you fall or something, be prepared to blame me.” she said, still smiling sheepishly.
She regretted speaking up to certain extent, as she didn’t know how to waltz, but…
Even more than that, she was happy she spoke up.
Galystris suppressed a laugh, and let the various bodyguards do their talking.
"Best of luck on the call then, Miss." she spoke, her professional tone returning.
She looked back over to her new soulmate.
"And it's no problem, Piami."
She pulled her phone from her pocket, to listen to the music and check up on Adrianne.
A notification appeared on her phone that locked her out.
'You are out of Data! Visit your local OTOT to get your data renewed.'
Galystris sighed to herself.
"....Now I'll be listening to it when I get my data renewed." she spoke, with a slightly annoyed tone
Dammit.
Well, at least she has a valid excuse for blowing off Adrianne. Her mind was just taken up by her old soulmate.

    Cyrus raised an eyebrow as he took a look at the rended seams and gutted costume. Not that this process was much different from disassembling and reassembling mechanics but damn whether it was the flaccid shapeless fabric or the frayed edges, this just looked so much sadder than gutted machines. "Well uh, I'll take your word for it," he snickered, sliding down to the floor next to Alti and starting to finagle the blue colored plastic heart free from the thread and cheap fabric that made up his partner's costume. "I'll just keep turning these pieces of shit into gold," he hummed, the thin threads snapping and sliding out the back of the bauble. There were 4 smaller baubles left on the 2 costumes that he forgot to grab the tech for, but at least the two larger ones would look presentable for now.




    The scientist looked up from the 10 cent ornament in his hand and stared at the two piece skeptically. "Yeah it'll certainly be.... something" he stuck his tongue out. "I looked pretty fucking dumb in that sailor outfit, and this is at least 20 times more ridiculous. You sure this won't just look stupid on me?" he chuckled, picturing the character for a moment. Skimpy costume, wings, and a pair of glorified stripper boots. "Especially if I wore those fuckin' heels," he added, scooting back across the floor towards where his toolbox sat."But those just seem like a bad idea all around for me."

    "H-Hey it's been almost a decade! It's not like I fucked my way into NASA," Cyrus retorted, face turning bright red as he gingerly finagled the back of the ornament off with a screwdriver, careful not to make it slip despite his partner getting quite the rise out of him. "Besides, even back then heels weren't exactly for walking in. Hell if my feet were even on the ground for the majority of time that I was wearing them." A small pout had formed on his ruddy face as he separated the plastic charm into two pieces, grabbing a sheet of sandpaper and going to town on the inside of the plastic.


    Cyrus paused his movements and glanced up at the clock curiously, raising an eyebrow. Night? He'd totally lost track of the time while working, the clock at least a couple hours later than he expected. "Oh hell it's that late already?" he raised an eyebrow, looking over at Alti who sat smugly with his arms crossed. That's when he remembered their little bet, reciprocating his partner's smirk with one of his own, the redness in his cheeks still lingering. "I mean, with how much time we have left until the nerd event, there's really no reason to waste the rest of the night," he replied coyly, setting down the new project next to his other tools and crawling back over to Alti, stopping in front of him, voice lowering a bit. "And besides, after that ever so gracious victory you bestowed me with, I still need to collect my prize," he grinned and winked.

"Aww, sorry that your phone is not being very good, today" Piami spoken in a slighty sympathic tone. "Hopefully, the renewing data will get resloved soon."

Piami kind of doesn't know much about things like renewing data.

She brought up her phone.

"Is there anything you wanna eat for tonight? I can order something~."

Well, it's time! Comic Con is here! With all the exciment Piami has, she could just spin around. With Galystris, despite not wearing a costume, by her side, anything is possible! She looked up at Galystris

"Okay~! I got the schedule ready~!" Piami chimed "I'm sure there will be a lot of stuff to do, like panels!"

((Oh yeah, Giaile, Jim, and Josh are there, with Giaile not wearing cosplay, while Jim and Josh dressed as Simon from Gurren Lagann and Kirito from Sword Art Online (despite Josh not seeing SAO.). They are in the backgroun, checking on Piami as usual.))

With the arrive of Comic Con, Maicy is prepared to see what is in store in this convention. It might be more, given Maicy has been to anime only conventions, the weeb that she was. Still, it's pretty much similar, just bigger and more of a variaty. She got the schedule on her hand so she can keep track of what's to come. She turned to Aberdeen.

"Well, I got the schedule ready." Maicy said in a cheerful tone. "Let's see where we can go from here"

Vale walked into the con, hands on his hips as he confidently posed and waited for his soulmate to catch up. He'd taken the week to add some Vale touches to his costume, and now he finally felt confident and worthy to wear the outfit of the anti-hero.


"I'm ready when you are, darling~!" He shouted cheerfully. A couple stopped and asked him to take pictures, surprised to see the character in such a weird color. They muttered something about how is must be 'a new release' they didn't know about and one of them cursed that he wasn't aware of it himself yet. "I love taking pictures!" He cheered. "We should make sure to go to one of the photo shoots!! I checked and their are four video game meet ups and two superhero ones spread out over the course of the day. We'll have plenty of chances to make both! But where would you like to start?" He smiled at her warmly.

    Alti smiled brightly as his partner crawled over to him, adjusting his position on the floor before squishing his partner's face with both hands and giving him a kiss. "D'awww, you remembered!" he teased, "With all the work you've been putting into your little nerd project, I was starting to fear it slipped your mind! Not that I could complain all that much~..." his words trailed off as his eyes glanced at the undone ornament, already envisioning the finished glowing piece in his mind. Alti let go of his soulmate's face and scooted back some in order to stand up. "Well, then! I'll go clean up and get changed, OK?" he chimed, a portal opening soon after he spoke. On the other side of the rift was one end of a room shrouded with the dark of night, a door just barely visible even with the light of the portal shining through. "You just get yourself ready. I'll try not to take too long this time, alright?" he mused, ruffling the scientist's hair before jumping through the portal and closing it.


    Alti immediately sat up from his place on the bed, excitedly shaking his partner awake to prepare himself for the new day. "Get up!" he chirped, freeing himself from the sheets and jumping out of bed after the announcement was made. Every gesture he made this morning was made with this jumpiness, for today was just an exciting day. Kind of. Even though the man still wasn't all too sure what the appeal of this 'convention' actually was, he only liked it for what it brought him, which came in the form of some pretty choice moments with his soulmate, like painting the other's nails, teaching him how to walk in heels, and discovering just how riveting contact lenses were. Of course, he was also in it for the costumes, which he and his partner was able to fix over the previous week. He walked up to the cosplays he laid out on the uninhabited bed the night before and smirked at the finished projects. Still as perfect as I left them. Alti then gathered his outfit in his arms and skipped merrily into the bathroom to wash any hints of grogginess away and change. Before, he couldn't even make the effort to put the costume one, but now, with the modified top, the added ruffles, and the now-respectable-looking ornaments and other accessories added (including the heels, of course), he couldn't help but feel like he looked pretty freaking great.
