A SAVAGE LAND FOR A SAVAGE NIGHT
WHO: EVERYONE OF ALL AGES
WHERE: The Xavier Institute
WHEN: June 15th, early evening to all night long!
WARNINGS: Who knows! Language is likely, violence is possible, dancing is mandatory.
SUMMARY: prom night prom night gotta get down on prom night
FORMAT: MINGLE
As you enter through the doors of the Danger Room, the sound of cicadas chirping clues you into your arrival to a tropical paradise. Red and orange lights show a room transformed, vines all along the walls and trees that seem to reach the beyond the ceiling. There's no doubt now, you're deep in the heart of the jungle. You can almost feel the heat of a distant volcano, the humidity wafting in from a river just outside, but that's only your imagination. Luckily, someone had the foresight to bring an exterminator into this jungle beforehand, as there isn't a bug in sight.
Fierce papier mache dinosaurs look down on your throughout the room, some perhaps planning their next meal, others regarding the intruders to their home with something not unlike fear. From the stage, the gleaming jaws of a downed Tyrannosaurus look on at the partiers, hungry even in its taxidermied stated.
But there's one ornament that stands above them all: the mirrored surface of what appears to be a pterodactyl man, reflecting the lights all across the room in ways most disco balls only wish they could.
Welcome to the Savage Land. Hope you survive the experience!

He was going to stop. But he can't when she looks at him like that. When she reminds him that he really is her partner, in more ways than just for this dance. ]
It's trite and overplayed. Haven't you heard it on the radio? Well, I suppose this is a new version. They slowed down the beat.
[ Are his cheeks red? Is he starting to blush?
'In another life, I would be your girl. We keep all our promises, be us against the world. In another life, I would make you stay, so I don't have to say you were the one that got away...'
He's blushing. ]
...you deserve a better song than this, Rin.
[ He pulls her into his arms for the dance. ]
no subject
[ Us. They really are partners and she can't see herself using that term with anyone other than him. Another step in to get as close to his chest as possible, Rin rests against it with the knowledge of knowing just where every groove is. Not from the armor he wears, but from seeing it herself just recently. Subtle, she glances down to where that scar is before she faces him once more. ]
We can do that sometime this week. Have a dance in the living room with some song playing in the background. Softly, of course. We wouldn't want to disturb the neighbors any.
[ She has to talk about the future because she can't deal with the present right now. Archer, with cheeks so red, talking over the lyrics of the song is a sigh she wants to preserve, but is scared of all the same. ]
no subject
He told her he would give her this dance, so for a few minutes, he has to leave aside regret. He can contend with it later; he always does. ]
...I'll be busy later this week.
[ Later might be now. ]
no subject
[ A selfish request unlike her, but she still says it. ] A job is just a job, you can get a new one. Work is always keeping you from me and I just won't stand for it much longer.
no subject
But his voice is calm. ]
That's impossible. It's serious business, to do with Vulcanus.
[ In other words, it's a hero thing. ]
no subject
[ There's no resistance from her, but her body slumps against his in inevitable defeat. Rin's learned by now that there's no changing Archer when it comes to those matters.
Even if she's brave enough to ask him to do something for her. This is why she's not allowed to have the things she really wants and instead settles on frivolous possessions that mean nothing. ]
You're going somewhere I can't follow, right?
no subject
[ He says this without hesitation or any indication that he's joking. But...
...he also continues to hold her close.
Like his arms remember a time when one girl could have been more important to him than the world, even if his brain doesn't. ]
no subject
[ She whispers to him as though the topic is one that shouldn't be discussed in public, her body weak in his hold. If it wasn't for his arms, she might have just collapsed already. ]
So please return to me safely. [ So that he can continue to hold her like he is now. ]
no subject
I--
[ How absurd. He can't promise any such thing. What is it about holding her in his arms that makes him want to promise to return to her? Why does the empty place his heart is supposed to be ache when he thinks about it, even more so than it always does?
He can't keep holding her like this. He's going to betray her, just as Lancer said. So why does he wish that he could? ]
no subject
[ Cutting his stammering with that, her hands tighten their hold on his form as she pulls herself as close as possible. ]
When you return, we will have our dance. You gave me a date last time you did this so I think you can manage that. You can't promise to return safely, but you can at least promise me a dance.
no subject
All right, Rin.
I'll give you another dance. You can count on me, so look forward to it.
no subject
[ She's not sure why she feels the need to reaffirm it. With allies who don't trust Archer coming into the City (Lancer, Shirou, Saber), she fears that he may end up hearing something she's not ready for him to know. The knowledge of a betrayal lingers and if he finds out just what might have happened to her as a result... ]
Remember that, alright? You're perfect for me and therefore the one I rely on the most. Without you, I'd be pretty lost and my apartment would be messy.
no subject
Yeah, I am the perfect Servant you summoned. So don't worry about the apartment.
no subject
Yeah, that's right. I won't worry about the apartment and instead I'll think of you in it's place.
no subject
[ He's distracted by the feel of her hair against his fingers, so he asks foolish things. ]
Do I worry you, Rin?
no subject
[ Rin answers immediately and with full honesty. ] You're my Servant so that's only natural, isn't it? Besides... you know how I feel so that's natural too!
no subject
Yeah, I know how you feel.
[ And suddenly his voice is weary. It's one thing for her to be his perfect Master, and another thing for her to be the woman he loves who loves him back. ]
no subject
[ Her grip tightens when his tone shifts. ] I know that now.
no subject
Yeah. Thanks, T--
no subject
[ Something else starts to emerge instead, a plaintive gratitude that there's one person in the universe who loves him when he's not capable of loving himself, and he has to strangle the words in his throat before they give him away. ]
no subject
[ Placing a soft kiss against his chest, she'll take a step to pull back away from him. ] The song is ending now, so we should get off the dance floor before we get roped into another one.
no subject
(But now that he's held her, he doesn't ever want to let her go.) ]
