Arisa was to meet Lucifer, but he will probably be there later if not sooner. There was a list of things to do, including finding him and some others. Slowly, she turned away from the mirror and walked towards the bed to grab her kimono-like dress of flames and passion. One piece at a time she slid them on, tied that silky large ribbon and put up her hair with the hair piece of flames. She looked more like an empress of flame, but here she was, a lady of light. next she slid on her armor-like boots that went up to her upper thigh and finally a small patch on her ribbon belt to carry her money for the festival itself. With that she walked out of the cafe and locked the door to jog carefully towards the festival all excited.

Arisa was to meet Lucifer, but he will probably be there later if not sooner. There was a list of things to do, including finding him and some others.

A mere glimpse at her easily suggested she was a woman of ethereal beauty, a skin so pure and unblemished that she might have been mistaken for a divine being like an angel, or perhaps even a goddess. It was not just her alluring beauty that captivated the attention of others, or the well-developed feminine feature, but her face was just as mesmerizing. The amber-colored eyes that gazed softly at her, the tender smile upon her lips brought forth a thought that she might have been a goddess of love, but Esperia knew better.
The small curved horns on the obsidian-haired beauty's head betrayed a more infernal trait, and that was quite correct, for she was Asmodeus, the Demon Lord of Lust. Asmodeus was wandering the streets in the company of her butler, seemingly enjoying a candy apple as they spotted a familiar figure near one of the stalls. "Hmm~ If it isn't Arisa~ As stylish as always, no wonder that you're a friend of Alisa. if I didn't knew better little Esperia would suggest Blue Pegasus fits a lady like you more."
Sun Apr 29, 2018 12:09 am
Arisa continued on her stroll to see a girl who looked familiar, Esperia who said something first. ''Stylish is an overstatement as I just wear what seems to appear in front of me. Perhaps, some fashion godmother asunder and gift me with these outfits.'' she explained with a reach of her right hand upward and clenched her soft hands into a tight fist. She giggled and put her arm back down and gave a motherly smile. ''Dear Esperia, Alisa is friends with me for more than that, I can assure you.'' she spoke once more. Lastly Arisa spoke again, ''Enough small talk, shall we go enjoy a flower festival and perhaps drink all their booze.''. Some could say it was a taunt, but last time their talk ended with a plant getting drunk. Booze here was supposed to be good here - true sake perhaps.
Sun Apr 29, 2018 11:23 am
"Oh~ Getting some drunk flowers? Although I'd highly recommend their sake and wine over booze, the sake is delicious and they have some extremely rare but fine-tasting wines during the festival period." A little hum followed as she clearly was looking forward to enjoying some time alongside Arisa.
Sun Apr 29, 2018 11:59 am
After she stopped talking she chuckled. ''I didn't mean we do that literally, dear. I obviously meant drink their best things till they run dry.'' she spoke rather more womanly with a foreign (french) accent. With that, she offered her gloved covered hand to the other beautiful woman that was with her, Lily. ''Alright, Lily. Let us go swarm upon the beauty of of their ways and drink as if it was gifted for us truly.~''. If Lily took her hand, Arisa went off slowly as she walked towards the Festival itself and into their light. Rather or not she noticed, but Arisa wasn't being herself. No, but it didn't matter anyways.
Her golden gaze that flicked and glitched into a silver wandered as she was looking for the sake. Her nose sniffed, but obviously it wasn't close enough to actually smell the damn alcohol. Her eyes then saw a trail of people leave a large stand with stools of red and back. ''There!'' she spoke loud enough in the crowd for her dear friend to hear. With that, she dragged her along till she plopped her sweet assets on that stood. ''Sweet! We're here. Let's do this.'' she started and then looked at the festival tender. At first Arisa waited with patience, but that wasn't this Arisa at all, ''Hey! Guy with the chef-looking hat. What the hell do you get paid for? Lounging?'' she spoke with a scrawled facial expression -- 'a bitchface' more like. As she questioned the worker, she pounded her right hand into a fist and against the table.
''How about yo-...'' he turned and was about to finish but saw one woman glowing and enlightened with beauty and the other woman enchanting with beauty with mystery. ''Oh uh, excuse me. Please forgive my lac of hospitality.'' he spoke and bowed his head. Quickly he brought his paper and nervously was ready to write what they wanted. Arisa's head turned to her lovely friend, ''Lily, what would you like, my dear. They have food as well it seems.'' she questioned her and smirked quite enticingly with her pout-like full lips. Once she was done ordering - if she ordered, Arisa too then ordered after facing towards him. ''I'll have the best sake you have, a bottle of it and then a snowball for my sushi intake. Don't forget the wasabi.'' she said and with that he worked on it. ''Not sure how she does this shin-dig, but I suppose who cares at this point.'' she spoke, talking to herself yet enough for Lily to understand all she was saying.
Sun Apr 29, 2018 3:54 pm
As they took their seats and Arisa rather vocally expressed her disapproval of the wait time Asmodeus smiled warmly at her, and with the same kindness of an elder sister mused softly. "You don't need to rush A~Ri~Sa~ We have the entire day to enjoy the festivities." Yet fortunately a waiter had arrived to take their order, so after Arisa gave her own she hummed softly. "For me a goblet of Five Flowers Wine and hmm let's see~ some Onigiri, surprise me pleasantly with the inside."
And with the orders taken the two ladies were left by themselves, making her inquire with a hint of curiosity. "Shin-dig? I don't believe I ever heard such a term spoken before in Earthland~ Would you be a dear and let me indulge in my curiosity by telling me its meaning?"
Mon Apr 30, 2018 3:14 pm
''You could say that I'm all sins... perhaps other than pride as... I'm not very proud of what I do - unless I lac the definition of it.'' she said with a chuckle as she grabbed her fork, stabbed her food, put some wasabi on it and ate a bite. After some chewing and swallowing she spoke. ''Oh wow this is some great stuff.'' with that she grabbed her sake bottle and started to drink it slowly, but enjoying the taste as she drank most of it. Next she looked over at Lily... ''So Lily, what is your story... You obviously have one due to .. circumstances.'' she speaks once more as she put her elbow on the table and cheek against the palm of her hand. She enjoyed stories, stories that weren't her own at this point. At least lily knew who she was, what she was as Arisa still had no clue - most of it.
Mon Apr 30, 2018 4:27 pm
"Hmm~" She brought the goblet of wine to her lips, sampling it briefly before continuing her explanation. "As I mentioned before I am the Demon Lord of Lust, although telling you about my time in Earthland might be a bit boring considering how the books preach about that time so often. However, in the wake of those events, I found myself sealed into the lineage of this adorable girl-" She briefly patted her chest as if to imply she was talking about Esperia herself before continuing. "After several generations, Esperia became my host, and due to her high compatibility with myself became capable of drawing forth my power. And that led us to the current time~"
Mon Apr 30, 2018 4:43 pm
''All these people, humans... Most have no shame with what they do or they do right after they tortured someone... But I suppose that's about every race.'' as she talked her eyes slanted and her eyes turned silver as the moon revealed itself. ''It's nice to know that there are people like you - don't get me wrong of course... We all have done something wrong...but...'' she turned to face Lily, ''Your desires don't seem bad compared to those who - for an example - torture a woman in the rain within an alley at night and then take advantage of her. In the end, they left her to bleed to death.'' she finished with her facial expression quite serious. Her head turned away as her eyes gazed away.
Arisa stabbed her snowball and nommed on the deliciousness that was within the food itself. Her mind was deep in thought as she remembered the day all too well... Enough to remember those faces she last saw...
Mon Apr 30, 2018 4:51 pm
Asmodeus' lips remained curved up in a tender smile as she explained things a bit further. "Although my presence often causes lesser beings to go blind with desire, and as a result my presence caused quite a lot of chaos during the time 'we' were in Earthland." She mused softly as she leaned back in her chair. "Although they might be unsightly to behold, every now and then a gem can be found amidst the dirt. Although your story reminds me of a certain lass... A simple story really, of a lass who merely sought affection, and was betrayed by the very person she loved."
Mon Apr 30, 2018 5:17 pm
''Was that lass you beforehand or someone you knew closely? Also... Is it possible... to love more than one person? It feels different, but it feels strong. My heart doesn't feel whole - feels like I have two different hearts...'' she spoke softly in her foreign accent. Her hands rested on her own chest where her heart may be as she felt unsure about a lot of things. ''I... I was experimented on as a child by the woman I thought was my mother... I hear her voice sometimes... I wish I knew what I was...'' she said with a weak smile as she softly looked at Lily. ''I miss Alisa... so it's nice to meet someone who is as nice as she is.'' she says and then out of no where she feels a chill. 'What... is this feeling?' she wondered and had her eyes of full moons wander about around the bar. Something, someone was here and it felt likes eyes were on her.
Mon Apr 30, 2018 5:28 pm
A soft hum followed as she soon clarified further. "Then again, Esperia, for example, has dedicated herself to her fiance but I, for example, do believe love can be shared." A soft hum followed as she listened further to Arisa's concerns. "Hmm, it's difficult to say really. There are ways to find out, although I think you're not human, and I mean that as a compliment~" Asmodeus declared with a smile yet she couldn't help but tilt her head slightly to the side. "Hmm, something the matter my dear? Is the drink being disappointing?" She certainly was a bit curious about it all.
Mon Apr 30, 2018 5:48 pm
Soon enough after they looked at a few people, they moved on. Softly she took a breather and gazed at Lily. ''I suppose I thought this place would be safe, but guess not. I might as well enjoy what I have left then.'' she giggled innocently as if nothing was wrong. She knew what will happen to her if she was caught by those people specifically. ''I'll avenge my friend one day though...'' she whispered to herself and then looked away awkwardly and took a drink. The sake felt refreshing to her brain and then tried to change the subject. If Lily had questions though, Arisa wouldn't object. ''Trust me, the drink is the least of the worries I may have.~'' she teased and smiled happily.
Mon Apr 30, 2018 6:18 pm
Of course, as she brought the drink to her lips she casually raised a hand to the onigiri, enjoying a quick snack. "Then again, you'll likely find Alisa and Lumen enjoying the festivities also. She had quite a 'pleasant' conversation with little Espy earlier, considering the lass plans to marry Fia after the festival ends."
But that was neither here or now. However, something that did draw her interest was the fact Arisa seemed rather nervous about the presence of those who might be pursuing here. "But yes, I genuinely doubt anyone will target you while the festivities are ongoing, that would be a somewhat foolish attempt to make. So enjoy the festivities~" Indeed, it would be simply too naive of a mistake to make.
Mon Apr 30, 2018 9:24 pm
Was it her fault that he made her laugh? So far as she knew, no one even attempts to joke with her and if they have, never has she really laughed as she did. She looked at Lily as she was thinking this and truly, Arisa was enjoying her company too but not in the same way. Strange. ''Perhaps we should start going for a walk perhaps and speak? We could watch people fail at games or attempt one.'' she gestured and started to get up with a bottle in her hand.
Mon Apr 30, 2018 9:33 pm
After ensuring their meals were paid for Asmodeus rose out of her seat, carrying the goblet with her as she walked at Arisa's side, seemingly trailed behind about 20 meters by the demonic butler. "Besides, as one so closely aligned to Lamia Scale you get to enjoy a certain degree of protection~ Should they act now, then they would risk making themselves a target for more than just yourself."
She hummed softly as she inquired with a smile "Try to think of more positive things~ A lady like yourself looks much more beautiful when she is smiling and having fun." A little snicker followed as she gestured toward the stalls up ahead. "There are some games over there, a fun distraction for sure, and you might walk away with a price~"
Mon Apr 30, 2018 10:51 pm
Slowly she engaged the counter and flashed out a ticket. ''I would like to play this one, if I may.'' she spoke with a goddess-like smile. Her eyes shined like the moons and her smile sparkled like gloss. He nodded, ''Of course ma'am. This way and here are three hoops as you get three tries per ticket.'' he instructed. With that, Arisa grabbed a hoop and missed the first one. Next hoop she missed again. 'Let's see... I should probably slow down.' she thought as her eyes closed and gently let go of the ring. Her eyes opened to see she received a fish. A giggle was in order as she clapped her hands together. ''This is quite grand. I shall name you bubbles.~'' she spoke happily while the man put the fish in its own container. It was black and red, like two sides of a heart - was perfect for her. ''You wish to try, Lily?'' she wondered next.
Tue May 01, 2018 10:14 am
A soft hum followed as she received the three small hoops that were used to catch the fish, were they some sort of fishing nets? It was clear that with just a mere glimpse at the surface of the water that all sorts of fish were swimming around. Although it seemed Asmodeus' presence would soon cause an entertaining spectacle. "Fishie~ Fishie~ In the water~ Who will join me on the platter?" A soft melodious hum followed as she held the hoop on the surface of the water, but surprisingly enough she didn't scoop, no a fish actually splashed into the hoop! A blink of bewilderment came from the stall owner as she handed over the caught fish to Sebastian while looking back at the water. "Fishie~ Fishie~ In the water~" And as if on cue as she hummed softly another fish jumped into her net!
Still, it seemed that the last one would be more amusing, for the man mused mysteriously. "Maybe you get lucky enough to catch the legendary goldfish! If you do you get a special extra reward!" But by the time he finished speaking the hoop she raised had literally been filled to the brim with fish, including the goldfish!
"Umm..."
"Just the special reward is fine~" Asmodeus hummed softly as the vendor handed her what appeared to be a plushie resembling a 'fallen Seraph', or at least the left side looked like an angel while the right side was more of a demon.
"I believe they call it Mastemon, a popular character from a children show." Asmodeus explained with a grin as she extended it toward Arisa. "Here~ Consider it a memento for our meeting at the festival~
Tue May 01, 2018 2:21 pm
If this was something that was normal, she'd feel bad due to not knowing what a show was nor what - whatever it came from was. Her eyes spots some sort of cart which she skipped to. ''We can put our prizes in here.~ Be careful Mr. Bubbles.'' Arisa instructed the fish as if it could understand her. Once they continued to walk they were to find some people on stage singing karaoke and some people went up to rhyme afterwards. ''That seems fun.~' she spoke softly with a smile. Slowly she carried the cart of stuff and her fish to the area and watched them go. It seemed to be in a form of dissing each other, but to her rhymes aren't meant for that... ''Shame... Rhyming should have more meaning than to diss each other...'' she spoke normally yet it was more towards herself.
Tue May 01, 2018 3:04 pm
Understandable, because despite already being twenty the lass was still quite childish at heart and often had such interests most would consider stuff only children or teenagers were interested in. However, after going to another area she watched with clear curiosity as Arisa seemed to comment about a song-based competition that was ongoing.
"Well, if you want to show them how to sing, how about we hold our own little performance?"
A soft hum followed as she gestured toward an unoccupied area nearby that had a podium, but it seemed the performers already had left for the day. "How confident are you in your singing voice? Esperia loves to sing, so if you want to I'll hand over control to her for a bit so the two of you can have your fun~" A sheepish grin lingered on the demon lord's lips, seemingly interested in seeing how Arisa would respond.
Tue May 01, 2018 5:05 pm
With that he nodded and she walked up. She went to the people that played music and told them which instruments and so forth. She looked at the people and gripped onto the mic nervously. Her eyes closed as the music started and when the small beat hit, she started to sing softly, soothingly and enchantingly. Her heart was into the song as she continued. It was surely in the language she learned as she was five and up till she left about when she was twelve if that. Her feelers were into the song... as she continued on.
- Spoiler:
Tue May 01, 2018 9:19 pm
"Oho~ Is that a desire I feel my dear Espy?" Asmodeus hummed softly while sensing the girl's dormant feelings. Watching Arisa's performance seemingly had stirred a desire in Esperia, and after a moment she finally identified what it was. It was the desire to perform also. Waiting obediently till Arisa had finished her song Asmodeus mused softly. "Considering how strong your desire is right now, I'll lend you a hand~"
And as if on cue her body was enveloped in a small mist of obsidian energy, her frame shrinking back to the similar appearance as Esperia was known for, but curiously enough she seemed to retain certain alluring features and the clothes of Asmodeus as she walked up the stage once Arisa was done.
"Did you know that songs are a source of magic my dear A~Ri~Sa?"
And with those words, the take-over mage waited for Arisa's song to finish, seemingly preparing a little surprise herself. "I might need your help in a bit~ because I got a song in mind that will have quite an impact~"
Tue May 01, 2018 9:27 pm
Soon enough, Arisa went down after some claps and cheers. Her eyes met with Lily's who then turned to Esperia's appearance. When her voice spoke, it sounded like both which was almost like her's and whoever else was apart of her. She listened carefully and with that she nodded. ''I would like that, to sing with you - or whatever help it may be, Lily and Esperia.'' she spoke to her as she was two beings, which in this case she was. When they were ready, she gestured to explain and that Arisa herself was ready for whatever she needed help with.
Tue May 01, 2018 9:50 pm
A short pause followed as she took a deep breath and prepared to do the one thing Esperia Von Eisenberg had never done before around others: sing. Arisa would likely feel it instantly, the invisible wave of mana that stirred as the take-over mage started humming her melody.
I was not afraid of anything when I was a child
I believed that I was special.
With these hands of mine, as desired
I will change the world.
It didn't take long for the result of her magic to be evident, just by the first few vocals of the song a small crowd had gathered already that was enlarging by the second, people being coaxed along by curiosity and the excited cheers of others, and yet things had only just begun.
Stretch your hands and grasp it
the one and only 'me'
Let out your voice and praise, the special 'me'
By now the magical essence lingering in the air seemed to had started to affect even more people, drowning them in a state similar to an euphoria as they cheered along with her melody. It was odd... she knew how dangerous it was for her to use this power, and yet she couldn't hold back her desire to sing this song, all because Arisa stirred her with that performance earlier.
Don't be afraid, come by my side
Love 'me, who is nobody
I didn't want to admit that I am the same as others
I pretended to not see it and conveniently closed my eyes
I could not become an adult and stayed a child
I want to see this dream until the day I die.
Even as the lyrics were being song she didn't hold back, knowing all too well that the mesmerizing effect of Asmodeus' powers of lust and manipulation were being unleashed in their full force. Although Arisa might had been more resistant to its effects thanks to her experience and mental fortitude, it was an entirely different case for the audience whose looked as if they had been entirely bewitched by her voice.
Open your eyes and project it
The 'me' who has nothing
Envelop and embrace me
The 'me' who is like a child.
Accept me with your hands
Love 'me' who will eventually disappear
I wanted someone to recognize
the fake me that I have created
I'm alone in this world. Like a child ...
Indeed, even now she longed to let Fia hear her song, but it was something she refused to give in to. She didn't want to manipulate her lover's feelings, the love her fiance held for her was genuine and not stirred by Asmodeus' magic, and so instead she poured out her emotions through this song right that moment.
Open your eyes and project it
The 'me' who has nothing
Envelop and embrace me
the 'me' who is like a child
Accept me with your hands
And love the real 'me'
Stretch your hands and grasp it
Let out your voice, praise me
Don't be afraid, come by my side
With the song reaching its conclusion Esperia panted softly, turning toward Arisa as she exclaimed with a smile. "Now might be a good time for us to escape, because things are going to get wild..." And indeed, walking at a pace similar to undead the crowd started to approach the stage, making Esperia look toward her companion for aid.

Tue May 01, 2018 11:06 pm
Once Esperia/lily was done, she heard her say that they should leave due to things possibly going crazy around here. With that she dashed forward as fast as she could and wrapped Esperia into her arms to take flight. Her tattoo on her back glowed and they were in air with her golden white feathered wings spread out. Her arms carried Esperia's body as in comparison when it came to height - Arisa was mother height as Esperia was a child. Being 195cm, she does always feel tall though unless being compared to her lover or even a giant. As they flew into the sky she then spotted an area far away enough from the stage and landed on the soft ground. The grass in the area motioned like when a plane lands till her wings materialized once more into the tattoo on her back. ''I won't ask what that was nor should I know...'' she spoke softly with a caring smile. ''But what now?'' she wondered since it wouldn't be a good idea to really go back at this moment.
