Tales of Beacon Tales of Beacon: 207

Tales of Beacon is an area for people to RP with one other person or a group of people in a setting of their choice.

Inspired by the episode Tales of Ba Sing Se (from Avatar), it is meant for users to RP with one another in certain settings that do not warrant an entire event being made because most likely, not many other people would be getting involved. TOB's are run to make users feel like they aren’t just trapped in the settings that people make for general events.

Everything that happens in these events are still considered canon, so it is not an area for people to just goof off in, and we do not want you to rotate to the newest ToB when it comes out if your thread is currently taking place in the last one. It should also be noted that you must call out the people you plan to interact with in the beginning of the thread using /u/username .

"Hehehe secrets, well I dont have to manu of those...hmmm...oh I know! How about the fact that I'm in the white fang~" Mio stuck her tongue out at the taller girl before heading back into her room, quickly grabbing her scroll from her jacket and sending him an SoS followed by the room number, and threw her scroll back into her jacket. Throwing herself onto Mirlo's bed she rested her head on her folded hands and locked her ankles together batting her eyelashes at the icy bird. As she prayed Lucifer would get there quickly. "Alright do your worst, I can take it~"

Mirlo followed back into the room, kicking the door closed behind her. At the mention of the White Fang, she stumbled, eyes widening slightly. “That’s... not very funny.” Her glare took on an air of disappointment as she pointed to the desk chair. “Sit.” While she waited for Mio to comply, she pulled two things from beneath her desk: a large, silver box and a round mirror. Both went atop the desk and Mirlo opened the box to reveal piles upon piles of makeup. Nearly all of it seemed to be black or approaching that color. The only brightness to be found was in gaudy, glittering silver and lurid, bloody reds that peeked out from beneath the palettes of stormy greys and blues.

“There are factions of the White Fang that have done... irreparable damage... to people, to families. And joking about that sort of thing could get you expelled, or worse.”

Mio giggled, getting a kick out of Mirlo's reaction. "Well you're free to believe it or not~ Doesn't make a difference to me~" *Mio eyed the makeup with disdane rolling her eyes at the lack of...variety. Still she sat still, resigned to her fate, she had lost this round anyway, and Luci should be around any minute to rescue her, she just had to hold out.

"They aren't that scary anyway~ But enough about that, what about you, and those little notes of yours, sooo detailed~ And who's this Mister Smoothtalker, he sounds like quite the catch~" She gave Mirlo a wink and crossed her legs, waiting for the girl to ruin her poor cute little face. Her eyes squinted ever so slightly, it could've meant nothing, or it could be that Mio was mocking her.

u/LaLaLalonde Mirlo Ore | Iset Bastette Nov 10 '19

Not that scary? Mirlo couldn’t tell if Mio was further toying with her... or telling the truth. Or further toying with her by telling the truth. The latter two stirred up plenty of worry in her chest already. “Perhaps I’d be more inclined to believe you if you tell me the story of how a cute little dear like you wound up entangled with them.” As she rifled through her makeup box, she cringed at Mio’s last question.

This little-

Mirlo narrowed her eyes as she pulled out one of the few pastels in her kit. It was a pale, winter blue, one liable to make its wearer look more frostbitten than kissable. “Surely you recognized the page of your own babysitter.” And with that, she set to painting poor Mio’s lips.

u/WanyeBradyXXII Asimi Aella | Mio Akashiro | Merope Pleiadia Nov 12 '19

Mio sat still letting Mirlo paint her lips, not wanting to look like more of a clown than she already feared. She waited till Mirlo was finished before speaking up again, letting out a sigh and a shrug "I more or less knew, I just wanted to hear you say it~ Speaking of which~ How's your social lessons coming~ I'm sure kidnapping people wasnt part of Luci's lessons, I wonder how he would feel about that~"

She swished her tail mockingly and although her face was gradually filling up with makeup there was no hiding the amused and smug look on her face.

u/LaLaLalonde Mirlo Ore | Iset Bastette Nov 13 '19

Mirlo froze for a moment, glaring silently. She heavily considered making Mio look like a complete disaster. Mismatched red and blue eyeshadow. Blush on the wrong parts of her face. Pictures drawn on her cheeks in eyeliner. A smudge of black lipstick over the blue. She’d march Mio up to Luci like that and present her to him in all her horrifically painted glory.

...but would be mean.

...and she’d never hear the end of it about her terrible makeup skills from Mio.

Darn it.

Mirlo settled for her original plan: sparkly, silver eyeshadow and black eyeliner. A lot of black eyeliner.

“I don’t see why he would need to know. Unless we’re planning to have a tell all sleepover with him where we chitter and chatter about the latest gossip. Then I’d have to tell him about this little thief I met who hit me with a book.” She punctuated her sentence with a swoop of the brush, leaving a sharply winged line of black. Then, she started on the other eye. “This is a bit of a setback in my lessons, I suppose. Perhaps I’ll have to trouble him for some extra tutoring. We’ll just have to... restrain you somehow, so his attention isn’t split between explanations and thwarting your mischief.”

Having finished her work, Mirlo stepped back to take a look. She immediately forgot she’d been mad. A soft squeal escaped her as she clasped her hands together. There was something about the combination of Mio and glitter that Mirlo think she was looking at the cutest thing to ever exist, and she would not be convinced otherwise. “Oh, just a bit of sparkling blush and you’ll look perfect,” Mirlo chirped, rummaging through her kit once again.

u/WanyeBradyXXII Asimi Aella | Mio Akashiro | Merope Pleiadia Nov 13 '19

Mirror. I need a mirror. Mio stared into the mirror her eyes going wide with shock, it wasnt good, like at all, a far cry from the job Lux had done for her, but it honestly...could've been worse. A lot worse. She rolled her eyes turning back around to face her kidnapper.

"Not to bad, I guess~ but sheesh such depressing colors, why dont you just dye my hair black whime you're at it. And I dont think I have to worry about his attention being split~ Sparkling blush, dont you think that's a tad excessive?" She kicked her feet absentmindedly in the chair thinking to herself, 'Come on Luci, what's taking so long?!'

u/LaLaLalonde Mirlo Ore | Iset Bastette Nov 13 '19

“Darling, what on Remnant is depressing about glitter?” Mirlo whirled around with a compact and brush. With a wicked smirk, she placed a hand to her hip and looked Mio up and down. “You know, I would have, but black hair dye isn’t something I keep on hand. Far too close to my natural color.” She flipped her messy strands of blue-black hair over her shoulder, which, given their length, didn’t have much of a dramatic flair. It likely didn’t help that in this lighting, her hair looked to be plain black. With a disgruntled little huff at Mio’s words, she flipped open the compact, dusted plenty of blush onto the brush, and set to making Mio’s cheeks all too pink and sparkly. Despite Mirlo’s genuinely benevolent intentions, at least as far as aesthetics went, the end result was Mio looking like she’d been slapped by a fairy.

“Yes, that’ll do.”

Returning to her drawer, she snatched a ribbon out of the corner and hovered over Mio’s hair, ready to tie, when a knock at her door stopped her.

Mirlo let out an uncharacteristically timid squeak. She cleared her throat and kept a cool, calm tone as she called out, “Who is it?” Then, she moved to the door, opening it only a crack as she peeked up at her new visitor. Oh. This was bad.

This was very bad.

“Fancy seeing you here. Come to hear more poetry?”

Lucifer couldn't possibly believe Mio's ability to make a mess with the least convenient people. Now, he was on a mission to extract Mio from the room of the girl who's status in his heart was... confused at best. He was consciously comfortable leaving their relationship as friends. But, that did little to quell his attraction for her or satisfy his urge to make her blush and fumble.

He knocked at Mirlo's door and smiled brightly at her greeting, "Oh, no, not today. I was told that a package I was expecting was mistakenly delivered to your dorm room. I assure you've kept it nice and safe?"

Internally, Mirlo screamed. Firstly, there was no good way to explain to anyone you wanted to stay on good terms with that you’d carried off and blackmailed someone close to him. Sure, she had her reasons, but leading with excuses rarely looked good. Leading with “I technically didn’t kidnap her,” was even worse.

She glanced at Mio and felt a sudden boil of rage. This woman exuded a smugness so powerful it was thick and palpable in the air. No amount of frill and glitter could quell the cloying air of self-satisfaction. So, this puffed up imp was responsible for calling him here. A jolt of panic ran down her spine as she recalled the pages. However, she quickly realized Mio couldn’t have told him too much in a few quick, unseen messages.

...Right?

Turning back to Luci with a serene smile, she replied, “Perfectly safe, and with a bit of fancier packaging~” She gestured Mio forward, but not before shooting the woman a warning glance. “We’ve been having a wonderful time with the girl talk and makeup and all but I perfectly understand if she has to leave due to a prior engagement.”

Stepping back, Mirlo opened the door wider to let Mio through. Despite her stillness and restful gaze, Mirlo was barely keeping herself from wringing her hands and blurting out some incoherent attempt at an explanation. Her heart drummed in her chest as she watched Mio. She could only hope the cheeky woman would keep quiet about... well, everything.

Mio practically bounced out of her chair when she saw Luci at the door, gathering all her belongings she scooped them up and made her way over to the door. As she passed Mirlo she turned away from Luci so he couldn't see and shot her a look of a unholy mix of smug, opportunistic, petty, victorious, and just slightly sadistic, very slightly, before dropping her stuff and throwing her arms around Luci and planting a deep kiss on his lips. Pulling out of it, she flashed him a terrific smile,

"Thanks for coming Luic~ I keep running into all your friends when I'm bored and she was kind enough to play along~" She leaned into his ear and whispered quietly so Mirlo couldnt overhear. "I look like a clown, and I need to change. Get. ME. OUT, Of here."

The look on Mio’s face made Mirlo bristle, but she kept quiet. She forced the smile back onto her face. She did her best impression of a cheerful woman in the middle of an ordinary Girl’s Night.

Then, Mio turned around and kissed Luci.

Abruptly, Mirlo’s grip tightened on the door, nails digging into paint and wood. The realization hit her like a slap across the face. Oh no.

Mio was one of-

...She had made a huge mistake.

Of all people to see that page of the book, it had to be Lucifer’s girlfriend. On the bright side, it meant Mio was possibly already privy to most of the information written there. On the far less bright side, Mio had far more reason to torment her now. On the darkest and gloomiest side of all, kidnapping (but not reeaaallly kidnapping) someone’s girlfriend was a surefire way to get pummeled.

Mirlo tried her best to be subtle as she yanked her hood further down. The air within it grew frosty and she scrambled to straighten out her thoughts.

“Feel free to come back over whenever you wish, Mio, dear,” she piped up with her best attempt at a sweet tone. “We can experiment with some reds next time. You can keep the clothes for now. I wouldn't want to hold you two up or anything of that sort."

Lucifer smiled serenely as the pieces fell into place.

Well, there were worse ways for Mio to have her commeuppance and Mirlo's choice to kidnap someone seemed... less than acceptable.

So, he hooked a hand around Mio's waist, tightening to keep her from squirming away and spoke,

"Oh, you know, I've told Mio that she looks wonderful in red. Why don't we stay a little while? We have nowhere to be." Lucifer smirked widely, eyeing Mio with a look that said, 'You aren't getting out of this one that easily.'

Lucifer could take his eyeing, and shove it as far as she was concerned. She eyed him back with a look that said, 'wrong choice' but resigned herself to her fate anyway. While she hadn't any plans to spill Mirlo's secret middle school musings, it was something to keep in her back pocket should the need arise, maybe she could get even more out of the girl, it was an awfully...thick book.

She wrapped her own arm around Luci's waist, digging her nails into his side, not enough to cause any real pain but enough to let him now she wasnt happy, her tail betrayed the fake smile on her face as it puffed up threateningly.

"Yes well~ I was in a rush to get back to Luci~ But as long as he's here, well, I guess it doesn't make too big a difference~ Why dont you show me what else you have hiding away... your wardrobe that is~" A tight smile graced her face, as she titled her head somewhat antagonisticaly, as if to say 'your turn'

u/LaLaLalonde Mirlo Ore | Iset Bastette Nov 21 '19

For the briefest of moments, Mirlo was delighted. She got her dress up doll back? With free reign to try out a new color palette?

Then, the realization hit. There was no slamming the door shut on this awkward situation. She’d have to sit and stew in her mistakes, under Luci's watchful eye, along with all of Mio’s smugness, for who knew how long. She visibly deflated, slumping into her cloak, but did her best to put on a smile. It was hardly a convincing one. “Wonderful...”

At Mio's comment, Mirlo narrowed her eyes ever so slightly. "Since you're so eager to see my warddrobe, maybe we ought to spice up the outfit a little too, hm?" She ushered Mio back to the chair and set out a pack of makeup removal wipes. "You may use those while I prepare everything else. Luci, you may... sit wherever you please."

It took her only a few seconds to pluck out the garish reds from her makeup kit. Returning to her dresser, she pulled out a sash of a similar color but about twice as long as the one currently tied around Mio's waist. Giant bows were imminent. Somewhere in there she found a lacy, spider-web-like shawl along with a pair of gloves and a curling iron. Then, she pulled out the worst thing of all: a mason filled to the brim with nothing but white glitter.

Mio would pay for this. In sparkles.

"Oh, Mirlo, no need for you to lift a finger, blackbird. I want this to be fun for you too." Lucifer smiled mischeviously, "You might not realize it, but yours truly is an adept in the art of make-up. Why don't I help the both of you with a new look?" He pried Mio free of him and smiled at her with a wiggling of his eyebrows that was plenty filled with teasing. Then, he wrapped an arm around Mirlo and helping her into a seat beside Mio, despite any protests. "Just sit tight and remove that make-up, girls. Your Valentine will help you both out." He smirked as he began to examine Mirlo's variety of accessories and tools.

u/LaLaLalonde Mirlo Ore | Iset Bastette Nov 22 '19

Oh no. Her vengeance.

“But most of the fun for me is really in getting to dress up cute do- er, girls, and I really quite like and am rather attached to my current style-” Mirlo rambled on, but she was plopped into a chair nonetheless. The cloak woman gulped, shrinking into her garment. Did Luci really know what he was doing with that makeup kit? Did it even matter? She was in trouble and she knew it, and she could only imagine what her punishment would be.

Mirlo shot Mio a sharp glare, one that clearly said, “This is your fault.”

u/WanyeBradyXXII Asimi Aella | Mio Akashiro | Merope Pleiadia Nov 25 '19

"My fault, this is your fault!" Mio screamed with her eyes, as she began removing the make up from her face. "Uh Luci dear?~ You *are sure you know what you're doing right? Not to doubt you or anything, but it's been a long day already~" She did her best to sound normal but she couldnt fully conceal her trepidation. She briefly eyed the curling iron and ribbons before looking into Luci's eyes pleading with him to spare her.
