concoursec | Hide and Go Seek

Who: YOU! And everyone/anyone
Where: All of Balamb Garden, including the rooftops. Off-limit places will on this rare occasion get you in trouble with Marco/Disciplinary Committee however.
What: Hide and Go Seek MASSIVE game.
Rating: Try to keep it PG-13. There's little kids running around :O Even if Grell and Marco are involved. -_-' (Okay no really, I don't care, go wild. XD But I hold no responsibility if the characters get caught/spotted making out~ or more~ by someone XD)
When: August 15th (yes I'm late)

Marco in collaboration has set up various ~prizes~ for winners. Each round is split up into hiders and seekers. The first five people found then become seekers with the main seeker, and the last person found becomes the main seeker next round and wins a prize. There's also a grand prize of a limited ~WISH~ for finding "The Golden Goose" who is of course Marco. Grell can't win this prize because he already has it. The wish is limited to anything Marco can feasibly fulfill which can involve helping someone deal with a person/friend/enemy, getting a date, going flying (on a phoenix VERY limited special offer!), learning to talk to birds (only one or two free lessons) or a limited item under $50 worth (because he's still a student after all.)

Other prizes are:
A bottle of rum
A schedule planner (color: blue of course)
A red collar
A book on _____ (mun's choice depending who wins)
Some packs of Triple Triad cards

-- one for each round. They're won ICly based on playing and if more prizes need to be added, I'll talk to various muns about their characters being asked to submit something. Have fun, go wild. I'm not saying where Marco is because you have to guess (ICly no less :O)

Luki enjoyed both equally well. She giggled at the nudge, then took the apple with a smile.

"Thank you, Mister Bird. I think I've found everybody now. I don't know what's suppose to happen next..."

Hesitant to switch back to human immediately, Marco tried to figure out how to communicate still as a bird. He gestured some, walked around Luki in a circle, chirped, and stared at her expectantly.

Luki was confused as to what he was trying to do. She copied his gestures and walked around Mister Bird in a circle before looking at him with her head tilted slightly to the side. She was baffled.

"What now?"

Marco gave up and switched to human. "Found you, eh," he grinned impishly.

Luki giggled. "I didn't know you could change into a bird! That's great! But I wasn't hiding - I was seeking...were you hiding?"

Just in case he was, she grabbed at his hand, so she could say she caught Marco as well.

"Mm-hm," Marco nodded. "A phoenix. Does this mean I'm the caught one instead?" He arched a high curved eyebrow in amusement.

"Yeah! I caught you, Marco! Does that mean I win?"

She hoped so. Even if she didn't win, though, she still considered the day a success. It wasn't every day that she could get away with playing hide and go seek, and especially not with so many willing participants.

A small laugh, "Guess so," he offered a wrist for her to capture if she deemed it necessary. "Which prize were you after, eh?"

Luki thought about it for a moment. She didn't know how to play Triple Triad, a schedule planner was boring, she didn't read very much...she supposed she could give the red collar to Miss Red as a present, and she didn't know what rum was

"What's rum? Does it taste good?" She pressed her finger to her chin curiously. "Or did I catch enough people to win the grand prize?"

"The Grand Prize is if you find a very special bird. See anything like that today?" Marco asked completely deadpan.

"Rum's a type of alcohol. It's more of an acquired taste than not."

"Yeah! I saw a big blue phoenix!" said Luki. "Yay! I win! I win!"

Alcohol? That was that thing that people said kids weren't supposed to have. Luki was sort of curious as to what she was missing out on...but then she remembered swiping a sip of someone's unattended drink at Buon Viaggio. She probably wasn't missing out enough that the rum would be a better choice than the grand prize.

Marco laughed quietly and walked along with her leading back to the base. "Any idea what kind of wish you want? It's limited after all." Since there was only so much even Marco was capable of.

"I want you to take me flying!" said Luki, as if it was the most obvious and natural thing to request. "I can jump from high heights and not get hurt, but I've never flown before. I'd ask you to help me make the sorceresses bring Noki back here because I miss her, but I don't know if you can..."

She did miss her sister a great deal, even if Luki tried not to dwell on it. There were times where she'd find herself saying something to Noki, only to be reminded that no, Noki wasn't there and had not been for a while now.

A soft glance, Marco knew how she felt. "I can't bring people here, sorry kid." He shimmered slightly, drawing out the feathers and talons and slowly switching over zoan phoenix form. "But I can take you flying. Just don't do anything to get us caught, and don't pull the feathers. The fire won't hurt you, but losing feathers is a pain."

Luki nodded in understanding. Marco wasn't a sorceress (or a sorceror for that matter), so if it was sorceress magic that brought people here...she would have to find a sorceress and try to make the sorceress bring Noki back. As unfortunate as it was, at least she was getting to ride a giant blue phoenix. Noki being here would have made it even better, because she would have asked Marco to fly them both around a bit.

"Okay! I'll be quiet and sneaky, just like with hide and seek!" she said.

"That's exactly it," Marco laughed as he finished up, and bent down to let her hop on.

As promised, Luki was quiet once she had climbed onto Marco's back. She didn't want him to get in trouble, after all, and she could keep secrets as long as the people she was keeping secrets for didn't snitch on her for things like sneaking extra cookies from the cafeteria.

So Marco takes her flying, soaring up high and coasting over the ocean since the salt water creates easy currents to soar off of. And he's as sparkly as ever.
