onceuponacomm | CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER 6

The dead now outnumber the living.

There's only one area that stayed a mystery until now. A new path revealed itself, leading to another town, surrounded by sturdy stone walls. Even from some distance away you can see the tower, rising high towards the skies. The path that leads to the city turns into gold before long, and the sky itself seems to take a beautiful tone, like it's painted with watercolors. It's such a peaceful-looking town, welcoming you with open gates. It must be nice to have another urban setting, after living in the same place for so long.

But no matter what you find it doesn't change the situation you're in. Now that your numbers are dwindling that's impossible to forget.

The story is nearing its end. There still are a handful of pages left. What will they bring?

[What is casino best... Suga just puts on a grey vest over his usual and calls it good.

First things first: he has the rest of his beaded friendship bracelets to pass out! Light blue for Yuri, silver for Makoto, dark blue and black for Marcus, dark blue and white for Phil. Hopefully they don't clash with their outfits.

The rest of the party is going to be spent chatting with people, munching on food, and playing solitaire. It's... it's the only card game he really knows... At least the glitter everywhere makes his glowstone sword hanging at his side look pretty.]

Thank you! It's lovely!

[ She'll put it on immediately, of course! It doesn't clash with her outfit because everything else is so distracting. Which is a plus! ]

[Yuri is clearly a fashion genius.]

I'm glad you like it It looks nice on you

Ah - I don't have anything to give you tonight, but hm! [ She takes off one of her red rose pins (there's at least two layers of pixie dust on it, sorry) and pins that onto his grey vest. ] Now we match.

Thank you I'll take good care of it

[ Good, handsome boy! ]

I've no doubt you will. Have you plans for the evening?

I don't know many card games I was hoping to learn some?

[Or else he'll end up playing solitaire at a party...]

Truthfully, I don't know many card games either. I've heard of them... but venues where you could play them, um, are usually places for other illicit activities?

I don't see why people like to gamble There are better ways to lose money

Such as?

Ah— [ This is very pretty, but why is he getting it? ] What's this for?

It's a friendship bracelet I made yours and Marcus' to match

Oh... Well, thank you.

[ He puts it on and smiles! ]

I like it very much.

That's good There's nothing I like more than when people like what I make

[maybe it'll make up for him calling him out at never have i ever later]

I imagine that would be a nice feeling. Did you make them for everyone?

No Just my friends

[So Phil can feel special.]

You made these?

[Don't mind him just kind of admiring his for a moment before he puts it on. It ends up being partially tucked under his glove, but maybe that's for the best as it will keep it protected.]

Thanks. Sorry I don't have anything to give you in return, though.

[And he feels a little bad about it!]

It's okay I'm just happy you like it

[That's the important thing!]

Yeah, I do. Good choice on the colors, too-- they'll go with just about anything.

[Not that he ever, you know, really wears much aside from his usual outfit, but!]

I picked them to match with Phil's

[:>]

[... ah. Well. Given that the cat's out of the bag now, there's no point in trying to hide it.]

And I'm sure he'll appreciate that too. You told him mine matches, right? How red was his face?

Not very I guess it's not as embarrassing as I thought

[He laughs.]

Either that or it was the drinks. 50-50 chance.

Liquid courage helps At least I assume so Nobody's made matching jewelry for me and my boyfriend yet

I feel like that was less liquid courage and more liquid coercion...

[It was pretty funny to watch Phil just attempting to chug an entire drink like that, though.]
