Nothing out of the ordinary today, Jelly muses to herself as she bites on a creamed biscuit she was carrying all day.
It wasn't like any other day, if she did say so herself. While the sky was blue as always and the sun shines bright, Jelly was in no mood to be as bubbly like the day before her. People who are walking past her and laughing while walking to each other were in pairs of two. Whether there were two males, two females, or a regular pair between one man and one woman... for some reason, Jelly couldn't stand the sights of these.
She started walking faster. Quicker than the pace she was walking before.
Jelly closed her eyes and kept on walking. She was tired of seeing pairs of two. For some reason, she didn't like it. She didn't like seeing these people together, very happy and content with the life they have. She just hoped they would break up and suffer what Jelly had gone through.
She had to admit. She was jealous.
The girl stopped in front of a bench, deciding to sit on it while listening to the pairs of people that pass by her. She just has to cover her ears, is all. Not listen to anything these couples are saying. Not listen to them laughing like there isn't anything wrong going on in the world.
Fate loved playing with Jelly's feelings. And she let herself fall victim to it.

It's an ordinary day, and Percy intends this day to be the most ordinary out of his days. He has no missions, no calls from Leviathan, and no prior commitments except from doing laundry, tidying his apartment, and doing groceries. That's it. Percy walks along Downtown Sundial wearing a casual outfit comprised with a navy blue wool hat, plain white long sleeves, black pants and black boots. Nothing out of the ordinary. He is intent on posting mail for some of his childhood friends, thus the brown envelope he has on one hand.
And then, fate decides to intervene yet once again. Good ol fate, as Percy quickens his pace to push past all the couples and group of friends, and just the general crowd. They are all walking slowly--it's the couple's fast, for Merlin's sake, why do couples have to walk like they're on the moon. Admittedly, it's a tight sidewalk, and if he wants to get this done up and early, he has to take necessary measures.
And so he puts on his best excited yet urgent expression, and walks to the nearby bench occupied by a lone lady. The illusionist then touches her shoulder lightly, and speaks with a voice loud enough for the nearby people to hear. Percy then looks at the pinkette with a loving, pleading gaze. "Honey, let's hurry to the post office! Please, just bear with me, the mail is urgent."
And then, a wink and a playful smile. He holds out a hand for her, and if she wouldn't take his hand then he would take hers. "I had a bit of setback earlier hence the reason I'm late. Then we'll continue along with the date."
At the familiar world, Seraph sighs. Here we go again.

So many thoughts envelope Jelly's mind. The couples do not matter, but she still feels quite empty. So much darkness enveloped her little heart that she couldn't bear to lift her head up. The couples and groups of friends walking down the street wouldn't hurt her this much less. If she had only brought Obelisk along with her in this short yet terrible walk, she wouldn't have felt just much as awful about herself for not having anyone she cared about near--
Then a hand touches her shoulders, which is followed by an unfamiliar male voice telling her to hurry to the post office because of an urgent mail. She finds herself finally lifting her head up, blue eyes wide. A young man of about her age was there, standing beside her with a smile and a hand on her shoulder. A handsome one, she noted, with brown hair and brown eyes--
And then he winks and holds out a hand to her and she finds her cheeks suddenly burning red, flustered at this unknown boy's actions. What was he doing? He then spoke about continuing on a date after they went to the male. She was about to slap him, tell him she didn't know him at all...
But instead she smiles with a small tint of pink coloring her cheeks, taking the outstretched hand that was offered to her. "O-Okay...?" She finds herself stuttering. Did fate give her this young man to ease her loneliness? Was she really that bitter?

The pink-haired girl takes his hand, and Percy pulls her up swiftly, then steadying her with firm hold. He then begins to lead her away from the bench, and to the post office. It reminds him, in order to not fool someone else and to make his life easier, he should invest in his own messenger pigeon.
Percy has a quick pace, and he looks at the girl to make sure she won't fall behind. He is successful at his goal, pushing past all the lovey dovey couples. He decides to take a shortcut, and she veers away from the main road, and through some narrow lanes and aisles, and finally, to the small lake. The lake is a scenic view, a paradise in the middle of Downtown Sundial. Directly across, just a few blocks away, is the post office. Percy then finally stops, catches his breath.
He realizes he is still holding the pinkette's hand. Maybe it's time to finally drop the act, receive that slap, and walk away like nothing happened. It's easier.
Instead, Percy squeezes his hand. He laughs, exhilarated. "Ready for a spontaneous date? I really do have a mail to send, first, though, and then we'd go on a date. I'd love to know you some more, pretty lady. I'm Percy. And you?"
Once he gets the girl's name, and her answers, he would look across the lake, and would point at the general direction of his destination. "That way," he says confidently. And then, with a soft, earnest look in his eyes, he would gaze at her and, and rub her thumb on the back of her hand.
"Do you trust me?" he asks with an equally earnest voice.

Jelly lets the young stranger drag her out from the bench and into the crowds of couples that were still walking nearby. Now she didn't feel alone. Finally it felt like they were one of the couples themselves, walking around and enjoying themselves in this heat of a sunny day. She feels the darkness of loneliness and bitterness leave her as she is dragged by the young man, and finally she could feel herself smiling from cheek to cheek. The speed they were going while passing by the couples was quite fast that Jelly couldn't keep up quite a bit, but because of his hold, she doesn't trip behind.
Both of them start to take a shortcut, and are now standing by the scenic and beautiful lake. She blinks a couple of times before trying to think straight. What were they going to do here, just stand by and watch? That would be quite boring, but she still respects the man. Well, if you don't want your heart broken, just let him drag you around and bring you on a date--
--But wasn't he just a stranger?
They don't even know each other that much yet!
Reality snaps back into her eyes, and she wrenches her hand free from his gripping ones. Jelly then glares at him with a reprimanding look, a hand already ready to hit his face. "Okay, first of all, I don't know you--" Then she is stopped from slapping the young man when he says he does really need to deliver the mail, and then after that go on a date with him to know each other better. He introduces himself as Percy, then asks for her identity.
Jelly wasn't sure if she should tell him her name or not. He was a stranger, for Salem's sake, and Jelly had always had an eye for suspicious ones. However, he wasn't anything suspicious, though. In fact, he helped her get through her loneliness over the couples walking by her.
A small sigh escapes her lips, before a small smile spreads across her face. "Jelly. Nice to meet you, Percy."
Then he suddenly asks if she trusts him, making her tilt her head and raise an eyebrow. She then stares at the water and looks at the path ahead. She smirks mischievously and crosses her arms. "Uh... what are you gonna do?" She asked, shrugging. "Carry me through the water? Because at this point it would be quite impossible if you could form a bridge or something with your power."
Besides, no one can just walk through the water and carry them both to the other side unless there was a boat, or they were a witch of water, right?
Post by percival grayreme on Jun 4, 2018 7:57:54 GMT
He expects her to say the obvious. But that is not going to stop him from going with his plans. She looks like she's going to slap him and Percy rebels against the instinct to scrunch his face for the impact. He pretends he does not notice anything... and whew, looks like he's safe! The witch keeps a neutral face as the pinkette deliberates her choices in life...
It would be much easier for her (and Percy) to just walk away like nothing happened. Besides Percy is done with her. As bad as it sounds, it's true. But Jelly sighs and a small smile escapes her lips. She introduces herself as such. "Jelly," Percy repeats, nodding in acknowledgement.
"Well, Jelly, I like the challenge on your face," Percy says as mischievously as Jelly had sounded. He then adjusts his stance like a perfect gentleman, with an arm clasped over his back, and the other stretching his hand--a clear invitation for the sweet Jelly. "Let me show you how it's done, then. I happen to be a water elemental practitioner, and walking on water is one of the many things I can do."
He withdraws his hand then, instead holds one finger up. Percy steadily backs away, his eyes not leaving Jelly's bright blue ones. He does not falter, not even as he nears the lake. Just before he touches the water Percy snaps his fingers. A plume of white feathers explodes, and Seraph catches his witch just in time to bend the water to her will (WALK ON WATER)
And remains standing, the liquid holding his full weight. "See?" he says. He begins to perform a little tap dance on the water, now just fully bragging on Jelly. He walks near Seraph, who is floating at the lake with a small yellow wide hat on her little head. "This is Seraph, my familiar. Say hi, my angel!"
But Seraph does not. She bows respectfully still, and sighs silently.

She raises an eyebrow when Percy says he likes the challenge on her face. Oh, yeah, she was challenging him. But the young man's next statement made her smirk with the amount of challenge in her face increasing with every word he said about himself.
So he was a water elemental witch... She thought to herself, closing her eyes and nodding in acknowledgement. ...How interesting.
Then he starts to step on the water, but before his foot touches the curtain of the lake he snaps his fingers, and a beautiful white swan appears before her, now swimming casually on the water. The yellow long hat she wears is quite adorable and fit the swan perfectly, Jelly notes. Obelisk would love swimming on the lake, come to think of it. She could snap her fingers and make him enjoy the water for a while with the swan.
No. I do not want to be eaten, Jelly. She hears Obelisk grumble, making her giggle at him.
But her mind is now focused on Percy, who starts to perform a tap dance on the water. She raises on of her pink eyebrows and crosses her arms, smirking. This one's a bragger. Obelisk notes from behind her mind, and she could find herself agreeing to him.
Percy introduces his familiar to her, whose name is Seraph. Instead of doing what her master said, she simply bows respectfully to her. Jelly nods to the swan in acknowledgement to this gesture. "It's nice to meet you, Seraph."
She then stares at Percy with a questioning look on her face, then starts to try to step on the water. "S-So... should I just... walk through the water? Like what you are doing right now?" She asks, quite nervous that she would just fall and be forced to swim on the water. "Because... it looks questionable to me..."
Post by percival grayreme on Jun 9, 2018 12:22:35 GMT
He could see Jelly judging him from her spot. He responds to the inner criticism, despite not knowing what it is, with the same expressions he is holding from before--confident and daring. As soon as he does his little trick he sees Jelly smirk, to which he returns with a laugh.
"Ease it up, it's supposed to be fun day~" he croons, steadying himself, of course still casually stepping on the water.
Seraph acknowledges the pinkette, and deep inside her she pities the girl. Another woman falling into her witch's trap. It's not likely, it most certainly is real at this point. Percy does enjoy Jelly's company, but she knows it is only for a short time. His world is like a river, never idling, never settling. The boy is looking for an adventure, and it would take a very special girl to calm his drive down--to build a dam, aiding him through his endeavors.
Instead the swan dips her head down. She then proceeds to peck Percy's ankle, when she hears Jelly's hesitance.
But Percy does not need to be reminded. "No, no, of course not. Here," and he holds her hand, firmly this time, asking no further affirmation. He would pull her towards him, and would put her hand to his shoulder.
"Now, trust me, okay? You cannot walk on water, but I can." If she doesn't resist, she would find herself being hugged from her waist, Percy supporting her weight as he lowers her feet to touch his own. He does this very slowly to give himself time to adjust to whatever action Jelly might take.
"How do you feel about a little dance, lovely lady?"

The feeling of not being able to do the same things that others can do is sometimes irritating, and Jelly knew that.
So when he glances at her again while walking in the water casually -- a clear sign that he was bragging about what he can only do -- she flinches in annoyance, ready to give up the attempt of ever stepping on the water like what he is doing right now.
She just realized that following him towards here was a mistake. This man was quite an arrogant one, but for some reason she still finds him very interesting, to the point that she actually followed him around. Plus, the swan seems to acknowledge her hesitance to step into the water, so when she saw Seraph pecking her master, she could just thank the swan for that.
But then Percy lends a hand to her, then asking her to trust him on this, and for some reason, she believes. At first, she simply stares at the outstretched hand, breathing heavily, nervous whether to let go or not. But the outstretched hand turns into one who holds hers firmly, not letting go. She is pulled towards him, and now her hand is touching his shoulder.
Jelly blinks in confusion, but she lets him do the rest. Percy hugs her around the waist, then lowered to allow her feet to touch his, and now she is standing in front of him in what looks like a waltz position. She chuclkes nervously, staring at the water, then back at Percy, and vice versa. "Hehe... ahaha, oh my Salem..." She mutters, then strikes a playful glare at the young man, holding onto his shoulder tightly. "I-If I'm going to fall into the water because of this, then it's you I'm going to blame."
But, surprisingly, she does not plummet into the water, and now she is near Percy, still in the position they were earlier. Then he asks about how she feels if they were to dance. At first she wants to decline, as she is wary that is she steps into the water she would fall into it, plus she is not very good with dancing. But she finds herself wanting to experience dancing with another person, much less a man.
Post by percival grayreme on Jun 21, 2018 12:35:27 GMT
Oh, so she's playing with him. When she lets him take charge he swiftly lifts her up and and slowly lowers her down until her shoes touch his. He supports most of her weight with the arm wrapped around her waist. "Are you comfortable?" he asks gingerly, when they end up hugging in the edge of the lake. Without further notice he begins the first step, and then the second and the third.
He merely smirks at her threat. "Don't worry, lovely, I won't let you fall in the water. Falling for me, though, that's another story." He chuckles as he continues dancing to an unknown beat, slowly moving to the center of the lake.
Seraph trails behind them, ready to make a bubble just in case Percy messes up. He often does, and Seraph most of the time saves him from utter embarrassment. Today is not an exception, and she'd like Jelly to at least go home with her clothes dry and her pink hair perfect. However today Percy seems to be enjoying the moment. His hold is firm and his movements are smooth. He does not notice how irked Jelly looked like when Percy is bragging about his technique. Truly the oblivious boy.
The wind is cool against their faces, but the warmth from their proximity makes it up for that. They waltzed around the lake, Percy falling silent for a while as he danced to the beat of his heart.
"Do you have a favorite song? Or, a certain genre of music?" Percy asks suddenly, thinking that, well, if he knows the song he could try to sing to that. He does not drop his intentions though, instead letting Jelly think and answer the question. "For me I like classical music the most."

Percy asks whether she is comfortable; at this question, she has two answers. She isn't comfortable in hugging a guy tightly just because of the fear of drowning, but she is comfortable enough that she is safe with him. So to answer this, she nods and breathes heavily, gripping on the back of his shirt tightly. "Y-Yeah. Yeah, yeah I'm fine." She stammers, then looks back at the water with a cautious look. "Juuuust fine. I'm fine. Yeah."
Pick-up lines aren't really her thing; in fact, it kind of annoys her to no end, so when he tells her that she won't fall in the water but falling for him was another story, her eyes twitch in irritation. Really. She grumbled in her mind, closing her eyes with her eyebrows furrowed. "Haha. Really. Really good pick-up line there. Haha. I'm impressed." Her voice is still shaking, but she tries to hide it all in her irritated voice.
Then they dance in the water, the swan still in the water, seemingly observing them. She observes the movements of the young man and gasps softly in awe. His movements and steps are fantastic and he really makes a good dancer. The only thing that would probably hinder him though is his... braggart attitude. This is probably the only thing that she doesn't like about him.
Percy asks what type of music she likes, then tells her that he likes classical music the most. She hums and tries to come up with an answer. She hasn't really been listening to music that much, but there are some genres of music that she loves to listen to whenever she has the time. "Hmm... whenever I have the time on radio, I listen to jazz music." She said with a nod. "And a little bit of country music, too. Violins and pianos calm my nerves all the time."
Post by percival grayreme on Jul 1, 2018 10:22:31 GMT
Her answer is complicated, and in response Percy slows down his movement. They are in the middle of the lake now, and he can understand her fear. But there is nothing more he can do--this is the most comfortable position he can do--but to stop the dance and get to shore. Ah, but it would be such a waste to let such a moment cease...
He smiles cheekily, then, at Jelly's obvious irritation. Legitimately no other girl seems to like puns. Why do their lovers still use them? Maybe it's just instinct. It should be good that their eye contact is not kept all the time. Jelly can't see how amused he is at the situation. "Fine, fine, I won't do it again soon. Sometimes, though. I'll work hard to earn your pun approval."
They keep at the dance, mostly in silence. Percy is thinking of one more surprise to woo this girl. He has been hearing rumors that, beyond the surface, this lake is even more beautiful at the bottom. Seraph seems to get ahead of Percy as she is the one to whisper telepathically, "You can't be thinking of submerging yourself in the water... inside a bubble, right?"
Percy snickers. "You bet I am," he replies to Seraph telepathically. The swan sighs.
"Our tastes is quite alike then," Percy decides. "However I don't consider myself proficient at anything music-related, including playing instruments, or singing, at that. I just enjoy them."
By the end of the conversation Percy is convinced. Time to go with another act. But to Percy this isn't an act, not now. He is genuinely enjoying himself, being able to use his abilities outside of a battle. He stops for a beat and whispers to Jelly. "Hey, can you swim?"

The pinkette doesn't look at the water. She couldn't. But she wasn't sure if the reply she gave Percy about being alright was working well for their dance, because they suddenly slowed down. She turned to Percy and smiled cheekily with a blush. "H-Hey, we don't really have to stop." She told the boy, sighing. "Really, I'm alright. A bit nervous, but fine."
Then her face distorts into a playful glare at the boy. Pun approval. Really. She chuckled forcefully and smiled at Percy with a mischievous glint in her face. "Yeah, your pun approvals better work. Good luck with that, anyway." She told him, followed by a chuckle that wafted across her mouth.
Percy and his swan then seem to be conversing with each other, making her raise an eyebrow. But she doesn't question them and instead continues dancing along. Whatever they were talking about, it was important and she doesn't have the right to interfere. They then switch to their music topic and she nods with a hum. "Me too. I'm not good at instruments myself. I only listen to them."
Suddenly the young man asks if she could swim, and for a moment she panics slightly at this. Her eyes widened and she glares at the young man. "H-Hell no I don't know how to swim! What are you planning to do now, make me drown?!" She exclaimed, almost toppling off to plummet down the water.
Jelly, what is wrong with you this time? Don't panic. He's probably planning something good. Jelly heard Obelisk speak to her again, and this was enough to calm her down a bit. She sighs and closes her eyes, then stares at Percy with a reassuring look on her face.
Post by percival grayreme on Jul 30, 2018 20:56:43 GMT
She sounds like she's forcing herself to enjoy the moment, and you know what she probably is forcing herself to enjoy the moment. And what's Percy about to do can either make or break the situation. Judging from the sound of it she doesn't like the water very much, much less stepping on it and dancing on it. She couldn't even look down. What more if they are to submerge in it?
Percy leans down and kisses Jelly's forehead. "There there," he says in a velvet tone, meaning to comfort her. He just grins when she reacts to the suggestion--he expects it. After a brief pause she very reluctantly agrees to him, though Percy can tell the action is still forced. He tightens his hug to the girl, stopping the dance. "Come on now, you know I wouldn't do anything like that to you. I'm a water elementalist, Jelly, I know what I'm doing. Oh, look beside you."
The swan alters the speed of the bubble's formation, allowing Jelly to see how its edges shimmer as it grows in size. Percy helps with that with relative ease. The bubble is big enough to encase both of them, and soon, the bubble closes, leaving the duo inside. He wants to say couple, but they are not a couple. Yet.
If swans can roll their eyes, she would have. She tries to keep the bubble as still as possible. Percy on the other hand, gently pries himself away from the girl. "Hey, it's okay now. Look, we're completely safe here." He then knocked at the bubble like it's hardwood. "We're safe even from attacks outside. Sharp objects and more powerful attacks could pop it, sure, but I trust this thing as an instantaneous safeguard against battles."
Percy trains his soft-brown eyes to the pinkette, not knowing what reaction he would see on her. "What do you think?"

Jelly wasn't sure anymore. She wasn't sure if this was a good idea at all, she wasn't sure if coming with this guy was the most bravest or most dangerous thing she has ever done, and she wasn't sure what had gotten into her head when she decided to come with him. She's gotten herself into real trouble now and she knows it! Oh, why did she have to be with him--
And then suddenly he kisses her forehead softly, and for a moment her world had turned. One kiss could steal a girl's heart-- probably. One problem, though: they were still in the water. So if the girl in question is afraid of water and she just got kissed on the forehead -- and only on the forehead, then fat chance that kiss would ever distract her.
Jelly pouts once she looks up at him when he only grins at her reaction. She's panicking here now and he just grins?! What kind of guy--?! The pinkette looks away and turns to the water once he mentions the side, and she could see the swan doing several maneuvers in the water. Now what's the bird doing now? It was only for a few minutes until finally, the surface of the water suddenly shimmers and it's as if one flat sheet of water was lifted up and brought upwards.
Next thing she knew, both Jelly and Percy were inside a large bubble, and she finds herself finally calming down. A bit.
He asks her what she thinks after he was finished talking about the giant bubble that they are in now. Jelly looks outside and points a finger at it softly, then turns to Percy with a small smile. "It's... safe. Thank you." She stated, then leans softly against the walls of the bubble. "But... wow. It's a really good defense mechanism, I have to admit. Didn't know you water witches could make things as powerful and as flexible as these."
A few minutes pass by and they stay silent on their spot inside the bubble. Jelly blinks, and, finally remembering that they are still in the lake, turns to Percy. "S-So... what now?"
