нeavenly garden

@❀ reece king ᶠˡᵒʷᵉʳ ᵗʳᶦᵇᵉ ᶜᵒ⁻ˡᵉᵃᵈᵉʳ "Oh, no," he starts, attempting friendly conversation with the creature. After all, Hyungsik still thinks this is a dream - it's not so far out of realm for him to be talking to animals. "I haven't seen any...fruits..." His speech pauses as he confesses this because suddenly he notices golden apples hanging from the tree. They're tempting, and the mortal swallows before focusing back on the snake. He feels a little uneasy. "I don't think-"

Cut off when a figure steps in front of him Hyungsik backs up a little more. He shakes his head a few times as if coming out of a daze, and blinking a few times the apples are gone - like they were never there in the first place. Glancing over the newcomer's shoulder he watches the snake hiss and slither away, back up the tree branch until it disappears, and he breathes easier once it's gone. "Uh, thank you."

@✳ zhou jieqiong ⁿᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵈᵉᶦᵗʸ Junhui didn't realize that there was someone before him by the Heavenly Garden, he thought he was alone, to be honest. When his eyes meet with a girl who was now as wet as he is— he started panicking as he maneuvered himself to stand up with the help from the woman, his nose scrunched up at the feeling of being soaked wet by the lake. As a fox, he wasn't fond of water, not at all unless he actually wanted to take a bath but in this situation, he didn't like it. "Thank you and also, I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you there. I should have been careful." Junhui bowed to show respect to her, whoever she is, he thinks he needs to show her some respect, it seems like she's from around here and not as a guest. "I was... Uhm... I was actually asked to spend my time here since I arrived a tad bit early than the said time." he gave her a sheepish smile. "By the servants themselves back in the Great Hall," he told her.

The fox purses his lips, he already made a bad impression and it was no less than 10 minutes when he had arrived at the Heaven Realm— he felt ashamed. "N-" he stopped himself, 'No, it's fine!' was what he wanted to say but he actually wanted to get out from his soaked attire, so he didn't stop her. "Thank you." he bowed at her once again, his eyes slightly largening at what he had heard, 'Ther royal highnesses would have my head.' he didn't want that to happen to her, it was his fault anyway. "It's my fault, I apologize," he said with a soft voice, his head lowered and his eyes not looking at her.

@❍ park hyungsik ᶜᶦᵗᶦᶻᵉⁿ [Ohhh it's cool]

Reece hummed as he sat by the stream, arms wrapped around his knees that were pulled his chest. He watched the water, warm brown eyes unfocused as he let himself get lost his thoughts. his long dreaded hair flowed down his back as the wind blew, his white robe reaching his mid thighs and contrasting well against his dark skin. He was peaceful in the moment.

That's when he was snapped out of his thoughts by the whispers of the cherry blossoms, alerting him to the presence of the snack and the mortal. He rolled his eyes, getting up and walking out from behind the bushes. Looking at the snake, my eyes flash. "Stop attempting to corrupt the mortals." He said bluntly, walking with grace as he moved to stand between Hyungsik and snake, shorter than the other male but still very clearly powerful

@❀ reece king ᶠˡᵒʷᵉʳ ᵗʳᶦᵇᵉ ᶜᵒ⁻ˡᵉᵃᵈᵉʳ It's all very surreal, this dream. At least - Hyungsik assumes it's a dream, because something so fantastic can't possibly exist in reality. After he'd been introduced to the festivities the mortal had decided to wander about until he'd ended up in the garden. Surrounding him were dozens upon dozens of beautiful blossoms, towering trees and flourishing bushes. He could hear the soothing sounds of running water from somewhere among the foliage, but he had yet to find the stream.

As he peeked through the branches of what he thought to be a cherry blossom tree a snake came slithering towards him over the small buds. Hyungsik jumped back slightly as the animal raised its head, and he blinked in confusion as it talked. No, wait...as it spoke inside his head. 'Greetingssss, mortal,' it said, bright yellow eyes almost hypnotizing to the mere human. 'Have you sssampled the fruitsss of thisss garden?'

[] hope the heavenly garden room is alright with you !!

@△ wen junhui Seated by the pond, Jieqiong was actually getting to relax after a hard night's work of arranging for the mortals to be brought up to Heaven and before she had to get dressed in her grander looking robes when her father finally makes an appearance in the great hall. She had half of her body turned into a dragon's tail to enjoy the water brushing against her cold scales even more. She'd barely just closed her eyes as she leaned her back against the tree by the lake when a figure had gone flying down into the lake right next to her with a huge splash, the water drenching her as much as it drenched him.

Well, there goes her relaxation plans.

Almost immediately, she turned her tail back into her legs so now only her feet were dipped into the water as she wiped the water off her face with her hands, her eyes fluttering open to see an unknown male still floating in the lake. "Who on earth are you and what are you doing here?" She asked, an eyebrow raised as she looked at him, trying her best to calm herself as she wrung the sleeves of her plain pastel purple robes that looked very similar to the ones that the maids were wearing. The only thing different were their materials but who'd know if they hadn't touched her robes. "The great hall is the other way." She nodded her head in the direction of the great hall.

Jieqiong paused for a moment before letting out a sigh as she got up to hold out a hand for the drenched individual. He was still a guest after all, and it didn't matter which realm he was from. She couldn't afford to make enemies at this party. If anything, she needed allies. "I'll bring you to get a fresh change of clothes, sir." She spoke, acting as though she was one of the maids within the palace, not really wanting to introduce herself. Who knew how he'd react upon finding out her true identity and if he knew who she was already, then splendid. All the more reason to not introduce herself. "We wouldn't want any of the guests seeing you in this state. Their royal highnesses would have my head."

@✳ zhou jieqiong ⁿᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵈᵉᶦᵗʸ Junhui wandered off to what he assumes is the Heavenly Garden, the banquet wouldn't start for at least half an hour later. The fox just realized this because just when he entered the Great Hall, it was quite empty, he asked one of the servants around the area and he was told that he arrived much earlier than the said time before suggesting for him to maybe take a walk in the Heavenly Garden for now to let time pass by. Junhui agreed right away, wanting to do that insyead of waiting inside the Great Hall but he has to admit that it was still marvelous but he wanted to see what their garden looks like. He has qyite the liking to nature and all, so he wonders what he may see there as well.

He was about to go but the servant stopped him, telling him that he can leave his gift to them and set it by the table so he wouldn't always be carrying it around with him while strolling the garden area. And that's how he ended up there, looking all mesmerized just like how he was by the time he went to the Heaven Realm. As he walks, he looks around and there wasn't a moment where Junhui's face contorted to anything besides the face of being truly awed, he felt like a child being taken to a place that never been in their whole life, just quite fascinated. He so in daze that he didn't saw the root of the tree sticking out from the ground (cloud?), making him stumble forward and fall into the river water, he was now thoroughly wet from top to bottom, why wasn't he being careful? Now he's all wet and he wasn't sure if he's able to go to the banquet, just a few minutes left and it's going to start.

@✳ kim seokjin ˡᵒᵛᵉ ᵈᵉᶦᵗʸ One to three steps forward, remain patrolling without a break for the meantime and as he grows closer and deeper inside the garden, Fen coincidentally perceive an unfamiliar but alarming sound. Just not too far. Somehow nearby. His eyebrows furrowed at the idea of imagining an intruder might cause harm and quickly fasten up his pace to set track on where did the scream came from until he stops by the appointed location. He spots a familiar face, someone they have called him a love deity, cheering on something he'd never take a guess and he approaches the one named Seokjin whose facial expression confuses him. He had to come forward to clear out his concern. "What happened? Are you alright?"

@✳ qin fen ᵖᵃˡᵃᶜᵉ ᵍᵘᵃʳᵈ Seokjin was resting in the garden,a book in his hand while he just remained resting against the tree,enjoying the breeze and how peaceful the environment was up there. While reading,he suddenly got an idea before quickly going near to the purple-coloured flowers,aster before picking some of them up. He had always wanted to create a temporary potion just in case of emergency and he knew this flower would help him.Aster after all represents the meaning of talisman of love which was perfect for his new spell. Seokjin placed his palm out and a glass bottle appeared on his hand before Seokjin placed a few petals of the flower in,making the solution turned into a really light pink,just like what he wanted.Seokjin being unable to keep his excitement,let out a loud shout or scream of victory while jumping in joy at his successful experiment.

@✳ kim seokjin ˡᵒᵛᵉ ᵈᵉᶦᵗʸ As to what he had been informed accordingly, Qin Fen does not have the power to disobey the instruction given by the rulers and precisely, he had to fulfill them in all cost. To serve the palace has become a part of his career that much include his whole duties to preserve behind and beyond the barricades. Due to the sweat of one's brow, the male scarcely wandering but there he decides to be in charged for different locations instead of sticking to one position with a hand tucking on the hem of his robe by meaning to step a foot onto the green ground. Mostly soil covered with flowers and other peculiar plants, nonetheless looking all similarly magnificent. He had never thought about touching a petal yet he improve it today as he reach out slightly for the pink petal to tickle it with a gentle poke from his index finger. "Ah- I shouldn't get distracted," he muttered to himself after pulling away and proceeds to observe the surroundings upon being taller than the garden, except for trees. He then stretches his arms to simply cracking the knuckles for hours of patrolling without cutting himself a single slack.
