Man, this sucks. Why do you have to think so hard at a party? This is supposed to be fun.
You’ve got to secure Ellie’s outfit (and dignity) without harshing Ellie’s vibe, which would harsh Landi’s vibe. And touching Ellie isn’t gonna work, ‘cause she’s sensitive like that. Some fairies just can’t handle someone shoving themselves inside their personal space bubble.
In your experience, the best way to make a problem go away is to make another, bigger problem. Then, you have a new problem. Lots of times you can make those be someone else’s problem. Like Landi’s!
Landi’s a good sport. She’s hyped up. In her element. Super glowy. What’s a little showing off going to hurt? She might even like the attention- from Avery in particular. But a small distraction won’t be a big enough problem to get people’s eyes off the dull-glowed Ellie, who’s visible to anyone who looks her way. And a quick snip of her shoulder knot would probably be fixed in a few seconds. No, you’ve got to make a big show of Landi, since it’ll only be seen up close.
You retrieve your sword. One quick, clean cut- on a dance floor- on a petite fairy like Landi- who’s moving and bouncing and surrounded by wings and other bodies- is a challenge.
It’s a beefy challenge. But you like those. They’re the best kind.
You position yourself in front of Landi and give her a big, telling wink to get her attention and stop her dancing for just that moment. She’s curious- and that’s your moment.
With a quick thrust, perfectly timed, your blade passes through Landi’s force field with a bit more resistance than you were expecting (she must be really living it up right now) and give a long, shallow slice up her toga. Success!
“Gah!” Landi gasps, hands slapping wildly over her body, reflexively reaching for her toga, trying to catch it and coming up short. “Vivi, no! Don’t make Ellie raid my panties too! Avery, help! Save me!” She throws herself into Avery’s personal space and ducks behind his wings, using them as cover.
Landi pulls open the portal to her inventory and starts throwing potions at Ellie. You recognize them as the ones you picked up earlier: Commune With Spirits, Sparkler Potion, Flowery Fragrance and Familiar Fragrance.
“Here, take my stuff! Just don’t take my panties too!”
“Uh,” Avery clears his throat. “Landi, do you want, uh, a new outfit?”
“Yes please!” She lets herself be led off the dance floor, covered in his wings, as he takes her to- where else- his dorm room.
Now it’s Landi’s turn to give a wink. Clever girl.
As all this is going on, Ellie managed to somehow catch the potions in her drooping toga’s décolletage, some of them slipping into her cleavage. You call out to her and, now that Landi’s sufficiently distracted the crowd, take the opportunity to join Ellie and give her toga’s knot a secure tug as you both collect the potions.
As you help Ellie fish the potions out of her toga, you notice there’s a new one in the pile she’s pulled out of her cleavage as she fishes the others out too. It must be the one she secretly purchased earlier- and it’s got a very interesting name.
Vulpes Veritas. Do not consume entire bottle at once.
From what little you know about potions, this is… essence of fox? Or something? Is Ellie trying to make herself foxier? Sassier? Is she fantasizing about giving herself fox ears? Or something weirder? Or maybe this is just clever marketing?
This is a party, and Ellie’s nice and drunk, unaware you know her little secret. This is maybe the perfect time to try pushing some boundaries- or just have a bit of fun with fun smells, maybe commune with some spirits if you want to make sure you have a bit of excitement on bodyguard duty. Or maybe both you and Ellie could try to commune. Wouldn’t that be interesting… you’d both have a story to tell Landi tomorrow morning when she’s done getting laid.
What do you do with the potions? Do you encourage Ellie to drink any, and if so, how much?
