“Every prince is a fantasy, The witch is inside of me. Her poison will wash away the memory.” ☆BETTER TO PRETEND The day has finally come for Fairy Trial filming to begin! No matter if they’ve arrived by limo or taken the bus, everyone involved gets star treatment as the makeup and costume departments go wild with the models they’ve been given. At least Sevetop has good accomodations. While it’s a chaotic and crowded scene, everyone still manages to fit in the two buildings Sevetop has dedicated for Fairy Trial’s purposes in this area. It’s one of the only points today that anyone will have a chance to everyone else. After all, once everyone involved in a particular challenge is done with, they’re hurried out the door and to their particular destination. Every challenge has a different area it takes place in, after all. For some pair ups, they’ll find themselves merely being escorted to another set on Sevetop’s huge property. Others will find themselves being escorted to some very classy transportation and taken outside of Vista City to special obstacle courses that simply wouldn’t fit anywhere else. On the bright side, once the actual filming is done no matter the location, the crew involved seems to relax considerably. Whether they’ve done great or not, Heroes and Royals are treated to dinner and a change out of their costumes. Good job, everyone. “We kill the lights and put on a show. It's all a lie, but you'd never know. The star will shine, And then it will fall, And you will forget it all.”

Tooru and Robin

[worthlesspride]

[In his cage, Tooru Oikawa, dressed not in princely garb he was wearing earlier, but dressed as a demon king he cackles madly. Going into full ham mode.]

Can you rescue the Grand King? Or rather, dare you?

[thetruehistorian]

[High atop the starting platform, cape fluttering and hood pulled down low, Robin smirks.]

I have come to free you, my liege. I am known as the Devil's Child.

[Introductions finished, for now, Robin crouches for a moment, gauging her landing, and leaps head-first off the platform. Just before crashing into the giant rubber cap, she flips, unsheathing a set of fake knives from a holster on her thigh and hitting the elastic surface with both feet, launching herself upward and forward. Several Frog Men swarm the first stable platform and she arcs over them this time in an unwound flip just out of their reach. Robin lands in a crouch at the far end of the platform, then dashes forward- moving backward in terms of the obstacle course- knives flashing as she spins dance-like through the small mob. When she reaches the end, she twirls once more, orienting herself toward the goal, knives held out to the side, the blood red half cape falling dramatically back into place.

So far, so good. But there are more platforms, and more mushroom caps, and a lot of room for error or accident. Touching the water means defeat, but more than that for Robin. It is her weakness. If she falls in, she will most likely drown before anyone thinks to come and save her. Her lips, painted a deep red to match the half cape, split in a smile certainly worthy of someone given the name Devil.]

[worthlesspride]

[Well. This was interesting. He grins, manically. This was gong to be fun, fun, fun.

There was no reason to make it easy for her, as interesting as she was. He took the control of the flying paint ball gun and sent her way, making it fire a few rounds, aiming wide, missing on purpose. He grinned]

Careful! They send reinforcements from the sky!

[thetruehistorian]

[Robin narrows her eyes, gauging just how much damage the paintballs can do. Nothing drastic unless one counts the destruction of the costume- but one connecting at the right moment could shift balance, which would be catastrophic. Best to treat them like seastone, then. Robin bows dramatically, holding the hilt of one knife against her heart.]

Your Majesty's concern for my well being has touched my very soul.

[She runs forward, trusting a portable microphone to catch her words as she goes. The jump is longer this time between the platform and the elastic cap, and there are two caps between platforms this time, both being swarmed by frog men.]

Will my liege try stealing my heart next?

[Robin makes sure to launch herself high and slightly forward the first time she hits, engaging some frog men in the air. She moves with grace, spinning and flipping delicately above the pool. But there's a brutality in her movements, a deadly efficiency. To them, this is a game, but for her it's a struggle to survive. The only thing saving some of them is the fact that her blades are fake. She absolutely cannot afford to let one of them throw her down.

She lands hard on the second platform and has to roll in order to not break her legs. Her hood-which had somehow managed to stay put during the previous flips and spinning- drops to her shoulders, and she shakes her hair loose. It is long and raven black, flashing with colored highlights from the stage lights, her eyes bright and intense. Even if Tooru isn't impressed, there are several in the audience who are.

One more stable platform to go, with longer jumps and smaller mushroom caps in between- not to mention whatever Tooru might choose to do with the drones. Robin bites her lower lip for only a moment as she catches her breath. She can do this!]

[worthlesspride]

[Oh, this woman was funny]

Mayhap I shall. Thou art beautiful creature. And with such a name as Devil's Child thou must have a heart as dark as mine!

[And he sends more drones at her, because that was funny.]
