The Roleplay Paradise Redux Deluxe Edition: The Role-play strikes back!

[A person]

Penelope followed them into the airship, putting her bags away along with theirs. She did not want to say anything after that show, since she would probably also get a taste of it. And she was not sure of what she would do in that situation...she did have a temper. She quietly made her way onto the ship and tried to find a spot to sit at, but if things were starting to get out of hand because of this guy, maybe she would have to do something about it...

LightFlare finds a spot to relax. Meanwhile, Melina notices a sharp change in Penny's usual upbeat mood. It was obvious that the confrontation between Lucent and Umbra had bothered her...

 

Hey, Penny. You ok?

Penelope shook her head. She started to speak in a low voice.

 

Penelope: I don't like bullies...I don't care if they think they're doing it for a good reason, too...it's just not right at all...

[Agni Blackheart]

Location: Airship #13 - Lounge

 

Once they were inside the airship, the group decided to rest in the lounge. Lucent went ahead with some other passengers to get the arrangements for the cabins they would share. Anwalt sat in the couch with the rest. However, not everyone seemed happy. For starters, Penelope seemed anything else but her excited self. Anwalt decided to joke a little, just as an attempt to not make her frown too much. 

 

Anwalt: Melina, you sly fox, how come you're not sharing your beauty tips with Penny? Frowning isn't good for the skin... or something like that?

Anwalt: Or did you fall for another guy and you saw a girl with him? Penny, Penny, wouldn't expect this from you~

I totally agree. Light isn't saying anything, but I'm sure he does too. This guy obviously gets his rocks off by torturing others verbally...and even physically. I find it funny that he singled me out when in fact ALL of us are benefiting from Lucent's kindness. But don't let it get to you. He can talk all he wants but ultimately it's Lucent's decision on how he spends his money...or even how he treats others. If Umbra doesn't check his arrogance he's gonna piss of the wrong person and get his block knocked off...

Well, well. Looks like someone is in a chivalrous mood. I appreciate the thought that you think I'm worthy of giving anyone beauty tips. But, no I didn't see another guy. But the guy I DO see WAS with another girl...

 

...and her name is Umbra.

 

(Oh snap...)

 

LightFlare couldn't help but overhear the last thing Melina said. He walks over to where Melina, Penny and Walt are.

 

I'm not opposed to a little tough love at times, but not for the sake of embarrassing others. I guess we all have our flaws, though...

Penelope nodded.

 

Penelope: I knooooow, but it's just too much for me to ignore!

 

Penelope: So if he does it again...I'll definitely give him a piece of my mind, too!

However, Anwalt's commentary seemed to help in clearing up her sour mood.

 

Penelope: Ahahaha, come ooooon, can't I just be a liiiiitle angry?

This completely flipped her sour mood onto its face. She was now laughing quite hard.

 

Penelope: Ahahaha, that's a good one, Melina!

Penelope was still laughing, but she was able to control herself enough to allow herself a chance to respond to Light.

 

Penelope: Hehe...yeah, I know you gotta be tough with people sometimes to get your point across, but bullying them until they don't want to do anything just isn't the way! I don't think anyone here's done anything to deserve that, especially not Lucent!

 

She had just realized that, when referring to Lucent, they were referring to the new guy. But she decided to play it off and act like she knew it was him all along.

 

Penelope: He's a nice guy with a tough time finding the right words, so the least we could do is cheer him up, right?

Anwalt: I agree with Penny. He wasn't good with his words, but all that he's trying to avoid is having the past repeating once more. I, too, don't want it to happen.

Anwalt: So, speaking seriously now, I apologize for my brother's behavior but I understand his reason for doing it. So don't hold anything against him, please.

 

Meanwhile, Lucent and Umbra finished the talk with the ship officers about the cabins they would share with the rest. However, they still didn't return.

 

Lucent: ...

Umbra: I know you might be angry with me, but I had to do it. For my fun, too, but for us to cooperate.

Lucent: I'm not angry. My wish backfired on me, that's all. But you're their aim now. They hate you, and you have them reasons.

Umbra: About your concern with me, toss it off. I can deal with them in my own way.

Lucent: Stop tossing my concerns about your life aside!

Umbra: !

Lucent: What I said about you being part of the family is true for me. Not only Anwalt, but I don't want you to leave me too. I'm clingy and childish with this, I know, but...

 

Lucent fell silent as he remembered the memories of the past for a moment. Umbra put a hand on his shoulder and looked at him.

 

Umbra: ... Sorry. Thank you for your concern. But like I said, don't worry.

Umbra: You and Lord Anwalt are my priority. If you two are having fun, then it's fine for me. I don't care a bunch of random people hating me, so as long as you two are fine.

Lucent: Umbra...

Umbra: And I'm not leaving you 100%. I'm not that subservient, but I promised to them and to you that I would never leave you behind.

Lucent: ... I won't forgive you if you break the promise. Now, let's head back. We need to talk about our cabins.

Umbra: As you wish. Also, give me your bag.

Lucent: But it's not heavy.

Umbra: Just give it and let's go.

A slight grin appears on Melina's face. She sees a fire in Penny's eyes that she hadn't seen before.

 

Uh oh...looks like someone has an aggressive side after all. Well...we all have to fight for what we believe in.

Penny's warm heart is a reminder that not everyone is this cruel world is without a heart. He smiles as he speaks...

 

Yea...we all deserve a second chance. Or even a third at times. Some people express their love in different ways. I guess in the end it's a combination of intent and execution. If the intent is good, but the execution is so bad it overshadows the intent...then it's hard to see the love. But if the execution is good, but the intent is bad...like to maybe gain the trust of another only to double cross them...then it's still bad. A little life lesson for you, Penny. Free of charge...

We're good, trust me. He's young and still learning about his own emotions.

 

Yea...I'm not mad at him. Umbra on the other hand...might catch a roundhouse kick to the back of the head!

 

Melina...it's not nice to kick people in the head outside of battle...

 

Even if they deserve it?

 

Even if they deserve it...

[Dumanios]

Once Raina got on the airship, she found a wall to lean on and meditated on her thoughts for a bit. Her companions were discussing how Umbra and Lucent had interacted, and they all seemed to be on Lucent's side in all this. Had Umbra gone too far? Maybe. If that was his approach to solving all their problems, it could very easily lead to trouble for not just him, but the rest of the party.

 

Maybe she'd have to ask how Lucent and Anwalt met Umbra. Maybe that'd shed some light onto things... until then though.

 

 

"Say, Anwalt, where are the rooms we're staying at?" Raina asked.

[Darkflare]

Lilith looked around wondering if Lucent intentionally liked to pick glamorous places like this. She wasn't as interested in staying in the cabin as the group just got out of a hotel not too long ago, so she would most likely wander around during the trip.

 

"Anwalt, you wouldn't happen to know how long will it take to get there, would you?"

[Agni Blackheart]

Anwalt felt glad for a moment, as it seemed that no one held anything against Lucent's behavior. However, he was soon taken back by Raina and Lilith, both asking questions he wouldn't be able to answer.

 

Anwalt: Uh... I don't know. I mean, Lucent was the one who bought us everything so he should know about it.

 

Lucent and Umbra arrived as the question about the cabins and the arrival were not answered by Anwalt.

 

Umbra: We're back with the arrangements done.

Lucent: So, what is it that I'm supposed to know?

Anwalt: Those arrangements and how long it'll take us to get there.

Lucent: 4 hours if nothing extraordinary happens during the trip.

Umbra: The ship is composed of section. We're at the lower lounge. Up ahead is the restaurant and there is also a mini shopping area, an upper lounge and the deck with sky view and a pool.

Lucent: There are a lot of cabins between the sections. Ours belong in the corridor between the restaurant and the shopping.

Anwalt: So we'll have to walk a little bit. Well, at least we have things to do here.

Lucent: I suppose. Is there anything else you have a question about?

[Darkflare]

"4 hours. Understood. I'll just be wandering around and seeing if I can find something to pass the time with. I have nothing else to ask unless there's something I should know about first."

"Right now I don't, but if something comes up I'll find you."

[Agni Blackheart]

Lucent: Of course. If I can help you, I shall do my part.

Anwalt: Well, I guess we're kind of set up. I might walk around too before I get bored.

Lucent: Hmm... maybe seeing the deck will give me the inspiration to do. Seeing the blue skies might feel relaxing.

Umbra: Well, I'll leave your bags at the cabins. Now, if you excuse me.

 

BGM: Birthday Cake

 

But before Umbra leave, Lucent held his arm.

 

Umbra: Uh, Lord Lucent, what are you doing?

Lucent: I suppose you forgot a trait I have. The one to remember debts I owe and to hold grudges against people whenever I need to.

Lucent: And just because I was quiet about it back there doesn't mean I'm not mad at the scandal, Umbra. Family or not, calling me a "brat" and slapping me as you did is overstepping the limits.

Umbra: It was for your own good. Also, it's your fault for doing this. What, you're going to do something at me now?

Lucent: Yes, I do. And it involves something you don't like. I hope you're ready.

 

Lucent snapped his fingers. Umbra didn't seem to have changed at anything, but his vision started to distort a little. Everything started to look.. cute in his eyes. He started to shiver and to look completely uncomfortable and scary.

 

Umbra: Oh no... no you didn't...!!

Lucent: Oh my, there's an unicorn at your head, Umbra. And he looks so happy...

Umbra: AAAAAH!! Get it off!! Get it off!! *slaps head violently*

Anwalt: Pfft...

Umbra: AGH!! Everything's... just too cute!! I hate cute stuff!!

Lucent: Aw, but there's a giant plushie behind you and it wants to hug you tightly.

Umbra: Y-You're definitely lying... that's a lie!

 

There was obviously nothing there. For them, at least. When Umbra turned around, there was a giant teddy bear with his arms open and a big smile on his face.

 

Umbra: AAAAH!! Get away from me, you aberration!!

 

The bear tried to hug Umbra but he evaded it. However, the imaginary plushie was fast and managed to run after Umbra. And when he looked at it, he received the hug.

 

Umbra: NOOOOOO!! L-Let me go!! Let me go!!

Anwalt: Hahahaha! Karma hitting at its best! That's hilarious, just look at him!

Lucent: Hehehe. Indeed, seeing Umbra suffer like this is sort of an amusement on its own.

Anwalt: Nice going, Lucent! Now that's true comedy!

Lucent: Well, I might turn it off after some while. I'm not that evil to keep this on for a long time.

Lucent: Oh, there's something else I need to give you all.

 

Lucent took out a rather decorated box out of his bag. He put it at a table right next to the couch and opened it, revealing a line-up of truffles inside it.

 

Lucent: Since I've stuttered on my apology, I think this should serve well as a replacement. I made this before we came here.

Anwalt: Whoa, so you really made a batch before we went out! No wonder your bag kinda smelled like fresh chocolate.

Anwalt: Anyway, this is kinda weird. I thought you wouldn't want to reveal this talent of yours.

Lucent: Well, I have a reason to do it so. Besides, I... don't think saying sorry isn't exactly enough.

Lucent: In any case, feel free to pick one, everyone. I hope you enjoy the sweets as the show goes on for a little while.

Anwalt: Definitely! I might even record some parts of it!

Umbra: NOOOOOO!! L-Let me go!! Let me go!!

 

Melina was laughing as hard as she could.

 

Wh-what....is going on?! 

 

Heh...looks like we're witnessing Lucent's "nightmare" abilities. 

 

Whatever it is...it's highly enjoyable.

A sweet from a "sweetie." Thanks, Lucent!

 

Don't mind if I do. Thanks a lot, Lucent.

 

Melina and LightFlare take a truffle. They both bite and immediately realize they are exceptionally good.

 

These are great, Lucent. I gotta say I wasn't expecting a hidden talent like THIS. 

 

Mmmm...mmmmm! Scrumptious. You headed to deck, Lucent? I think I'm going, too. You guys coming? 

 

Melina looks around at everyone but then makes eye contact with Anwalt and smirks slightly...

 

Sure...I bet the view will be pretty awesome...

[Darkflare]

(...I guess this is karmic retribution...)

 

Though she never intended to go against Lucent, this ability of his gave her even more reason to not consider that option, although in this case, the situation was rather amusing considering not too long ago Umbra was the one putting Lucent into an embarassing situation.

"Thank you."

 

She took one of the truffles before giving a slight bow.

 

(An illusion technique and apparently quite a powerful one...)

 

Lilith took a bite out of her truffle

 

(.....this is good)

The display was enough to send Penelope down to the ground with laughter. This was easily some of the funniest stuff she had seen in her life, even funnier than cartoons! Nothing could beat someone embarrassing themselves in real life, let alone someone getting a taste of their own medicine, just a bit more potent!

 

Penelope: AHAHAHA! This is just too good! Hahahaaaa, that's what you geeeeeet! 

 

Seeing him get his comeuppance made it all the more sweeter. She did wonder how exactly Lucent managed to pull it off, but it didn't matter right now; it made for some absolutely amazing entertainment for a super long ride, and a story to talk about later on!

Penelope finally managed to muster up the strength to pick herself back up, but she had to use the table with the sweets on it to keep herself from falling down again. She noticed the truffles though a teary-eyed glance, but was too busy laughing to consider grabbing one.

 

Penelope: I think the show is sweet enough, ahahaha! Thank you, so, so much for this, hehehe!

Having been invited to the truffles, Raina grabbed one and took a bite.

 

 

"Wow! This is pretty good."

 

Raina was surprised that Lucent could bake so well. He hadn't seemed the type to do so.

[Agni Blackheart]

Lucent: Well, thank you all for your opinions. It makes me glad that people from other world enjoyed my sweets as well.

Anwalt: You guys haven't seen his cakes. That mint chocolate flavored, 5-floor tower cake you made was incredible!

Lucent: Well, if we get time and ingredients, I'll bake a cake for all of you to try. I don't know the flavor yet, but I'll come up with something. If you'd like to share ideas of flavor, I'll gladly take notes of them.

 

Then, Anwalt noticed Penelope bursting into laughter and followed her.

 

Anwalt: Pffft... ahahahaha!! Penny shares our sense of humor!

Lucent: It seems that way. Well, I think this is enough, so I'm bringing him back.

 

Lucent snapped his fingers once more and Umbra's vision returned to normal. However, he seemed sick.

 

Umbra: Ugh. I feel so dizzy...

Lucent: It's your fault. In any case, let's head to the deck.

Umbra: Can I at least get a truffle...?

Lucent: Sure, go ahead.

 

Umbra got a truffle and ate it instantly. The flavor made him a little better, but not much.

 

Umbra: It's tasty... yet I still feel sick. At least, it's over...

Anwalt: Hey, Umbra, did I tell you that there's going to be a costume walking around in the lounge and it looks like a really fluffy cat? It wants to give hugs too, so maybe you shouldn't-

Umbra: BWHOSHDFOIISHJOA!! NOPE!! No, no, no!! I'm taking your bags to the cabins!! Excuse me!!

 

Umbra grabbed both Lucent and Anwalt's bags and left in a hurry. At this moment, Lucent couldn't hold his laughter or composture.

 

Lucent: Pfft...

Anwalt: And here it comes...

Lucent: *giggle* AHAHAHAHAHAHA!! "BWHOSHDFOIISHJOA"?! What the hell is that?! AHAHAHAHA!!

Anwalt: Hook, line and sinker! I successfully took a hearty laughter out of Lucent!

Lucent: Ahaha... oh god, my stomach hurts and I'm almost crying. Whew! I'm heading to the deck too, Melina, so I can breathe after all this.

Anwalt: Let's head there together then! I kinda want to head there as well.

Lucent: P-Please don't forget the truffles behind. Hehehe... oh my god, that was truly entertaining.

 

Anwalt nodded and grabbed the box. Before closing it, he gave a truffle to the laughing Penelope. Soon, he and Lucent were to first ones to leave the lower lounge and walk towards the deck.

Penelope managed to stifle her laughter for a moment to pop the tasty chocolate into her mouth. The taste...this was better than any other chocolate she had ever had! It was enough to get her to completely stop laughing, a face of surprise suppressing her laughter. 

 

Penelope: Th-this is amazing! Omigod, this is some of the best chocolate I've ever tasted!

 

She proceeded to begin chasing down Anwalt, the show before now being a distant thought; she needed more of that chocolate!

 

Penelope: Get back here, Anwalt! I need more, more, MOOOOORE!

 

And out the door to the deck she went. Hopefully she wouldn't trip on the way there...

[Dumanios]

 

With everyone else heading up to the deck, it made sense to accompany them up.

 

'4 Hours to Candor City, huh?' Raina thought...

[Agni Blackheart]

After walking a bit, they reached the deck. The blue skies were visible and the clouds dispersed as the ship flew through them. Other guests were in the deck, most of them enjoying the pool.

 

Lucent: Wow... what a beautiful view...

Anwalt: Uh, Lucent, isn't this sorta normal to you? I mean, you can fly.

Lucent: This view and that view are different. Also, stop ruining my view.

Anwalt: Alright, my bad.

 

Lucent went ahead towards the deck's end to see the sky with a clear vision range. Like an artist, he was inspired to catch the view into a recipe. In the meantime, Umbra finally came.

 

Umbra: Your bags are in the cabins. Also, there isn't a costume-wearing employee... jerk.

Anwalt: That's rich, coming from you.

Umbra: Wait, where's Lord Lucent?

Anwalt: Went ahead to see the sky. Inspiration hit him.

Umbra: I'm going ahead to watch over him. When inspiration hits, he's less attentive to what's  surrounding him.

 

Umbra followed the direction Lucent went. Inspiration equals distraction, so he needed to be sure Lucent was fine.

[LightFlare_Da_Realest]

Melina and LightFlare arrive on the deck.

 

The view is beautiful up here.

 

It's breathtaking....don't you agree, Walt?

 

Walt...is your brother ok?

 

Melina looks around for Penny...

 

Penny?! You enjoying the view, lil sis?

Penelope was currently gazing over the right edge of the deck(from where they got up to it), taking in the clouds flying by beneath them. She hadn't taken notice of how she had called her "Lil Sis", not that it mattered, anyway; she felt as though she was everyone's little sister. 

 

Penelope: Yeah...it's like we're out on the sea. I haven't actually been on a boat before, but I think it'd feel something like this. It's so calming...I wish I could've experienced something like this before. It'd probably have helped a ton.

 

She maintained her focus on the bubbling clouds below, the occasional mountain peak cresting out from them. Maybe being on a seaship would be just as smooth as this!
