| Starry Eyes & Pizza Pies [Zarc/River] | |
| By: Zarc Tenebris Date: May 22, 2017, 10:15 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Since the incident in the mines; life had returned to some | |
| modicum of normal. Before any form of concrete news had spread; | |
| our fiend (or friend, as the case may realistically be) Zarc had | |
| decided to take a look around the Underground. He had come | |
| across an odd new statue of an elf man, and the headband that | |
| Sans and Alphys had made beeped and booped pathetically, | |
| indicating two things. One; the statue was weird and new, | |
| potentially a product of some time-dickery or Reset, and two; | |
| the headbands had a finite lifespan, and before long his own | |
| sputtered out becoming nothing more than a fancy accessory. | |
| Still, the winged monster saved this device and simply left it | |
| inside the cabinet of his hammock-side shelf at home. | |
| Sometimes, he would visit Toriel in the Ruins; periodically | |
| bringing supplies that she needed from the shops and sometimes | |
| to have a short chat. These visits were kept short however, as | |
| Zarc still had things to do. At some point, news had finally | |
| spread; as did rumors. It was an... Odd experience to be the | |
| target of such praise from people, children especially. Zarc | |
| wasn't against being liked or seen as a positive role-model but | |
| this was almost ridiculous! | |
| Luckily; the place where he lived was not only a secret to all | |
| but five people, it rather difficult to get there if you weren't | |
| a specific two out of those five. It was a strange place; closer | |
| to the Ruins rather than anywhere else; far into the distance in | |
| a chasm filled with mist and spooky spindly trees. | |
| It was a new day; and Zarc had awoken early. Today he was going | |
| to catch up with one of his best friends who had been incredibly | |
| busy as of late. He woke up early so he could actually be on | |
| time. You see, for one as stylish as him; freshening up in the | |
| morning to look good, well... It took a while. He refused to let | |
| either of those things happen. He wasn't going to be late, but | |
| he wasn't going to look like crap either. That was that. | |
| With one last swish of a brush through his hair, he gave his | |
| reflection in the mirror a wink. "Nice." Zarc did some cleaning | |
| but eventually left what he would call his 'humble abode'... | |
| Regardless of the fact that it was an aesthetically derelict | |
| spooky-chasm-mist-mansion that could fit at least seven monsters | |
| without a problem. | |
| Zarc made his way through the fog towards a small secret cavern | |
| after a bit of a trek. Through that small cavern after opening | |
| the seal and closing it behind him, he would reach a point where | |
| the Underground's main river could be reached deep in Waterfall, | |
| on a tricky path that few would go past on foot. Here, he | |
| waited; 'Right on time.' | |

| "[font=arialblack]Tra la laaaa~[/font]" | |
| Zarc wouldn't be left waiting for long, as, only but a few | |
| minutes later would a cloaked figure on an odd looking wooden | |
| boat would come, drifting along the river calmly before stopping | |
| suddenly by the path that Zarc was waiting on. The boat gently | |
| knocking up against the path's riverside where the ground met | |
| the water. | |
| Once the boat became steady after having stopped, the cloaked | |
| figure would wander to the center of it before carefully hopping | |
| off the boat and onto the ground in front of Zarc, bright white | |
| eyes peeked at him from under the hood, they seemed glad to see | |
| him. | |
| But also a bit nervous to say much of anything first. | |
| A deep purple hand dotted with sparkling white spots would reach | |
| out and up, fumbling a badge that helped to keep the cloak up on | |
| the figure. They wouldn't say anything yet, but perhaps the | |
| touch to a badge that probably looked familiar to Zarc let him | |
| know they where glad to see him again. | |

| "Switch on the sky and the stars glow for you~" A welcoming | |
| smile came across Zarc's face. That familiar voice was-- as they | |
| say-- 'music to my ears'. The winged monster hummed along to the | |
| tune, breaking further into song. "Go see the world cause its | |
| all so brand new~" Even further still, so much as to do a little | |
| dance. "Don�t close your eyes 'cause your future's ready to | |
| shine. It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly~" | |
| Zarc failed miserably at stifling a bit of a laugh at his own | |
| silliness and stopped singing. "But for now I guess I'll just | |
| say; hi." He bowed as his friend disembarked from their raft, | |
| giving the boat a quick glance to see if the little doggo head | |
| was on the front. That raft was a mystery, as much of a mystery | |
| as either of them, really. Zarc's smile brightened upon seeing | |
| the badge. It was one of his first jewelry projects, and he was | |
| honored that it was treasured so much. "S'good to see you too." | |
| He held his arms outwards, offering a hug. "If you've heard the | |
| news.. Well, I'm fine, a you can see. That lollipop you got me | |
| basically saved my life, though." That wasn't the only thing | |
| that saved his life at that moment in time, but those weren't on | |
| his mind. | |

| A little glowing smile might've been able to be caught hidden | |
| under the hood at Zarc's singing and his laugh, not a mocking | |
| type of smile, a rather gleeful and cheery one. The boat would | |
| have the doggo head on it's front at the moment, which Zarc | |
| would be able to see after having checked. | |
| The cloaked river person would take Zarc's hug of course, at | |
| first a little timid as they moved closer to him, but eventually | |
| they would also put their arms around him, gently pressing the | |
| side of their hood against his chest in the moments of the hug. | |
| The hood fell just a little looser during this, hugging was not | |
| something River did often afterall. If Zarc looked down, he'd be | |
| able to see one of their shimmering white eyes looking up at | |
| him, shining as brightly as that of a star. And although they | |
| where glad to see him, the look held clear concern. | |
| "[font=arial black]I hear a lot... From children... About a | |
| winged Hero who...'ate' a black hole..[/font]" Their voice | |
| was... Relaxing, flowy, gentle.. Otherworldly even "[font=Aerial | |
| black]I'm so glad you're alright.. You had me very | |
| worried..[/font]" They would gently squeeze hand around the | |
| badge they had gotten from Zarc. A light smile returned when the | |
| talk of the lollipop came up, "[font=arial black]O-oh! I.. I | |
| must get you another then![/font]" They would slip a hand under | |
| the hood and gently rub the back of their neck, "[font=arial | |
| black] Only heard of somethings that went on from rumours, would | |
| it be alright if I got the full story from somebody who was | |
| there?[/font]" | |

| Zarc raised his eyebrows slightly "Do my eyes deceive me? Oho~ | |
| no they don't~ There's that starlight smile." | |
| There was an unspoken tension that still remained in Zarc's | |
| body, but during the hug it vanished. When River came right up | |
| to him, Zarc found himself holding her closer than he expected. | |
| The winged monster looked down and caught River's concerned | |
| gaze. "Hm? Whats wrong?" He let go as he listened to River's | |
| concerns. Of course, the news had now traveled so it was no | |
| surprise that she had heard about it. Zarc grumbled a bit over | |
| the mention of the superhero thing. | |
| However, with even more concern in her voice; River plainly said | |
| that she was worried for his safety; with a hand on the special | |
| badge as she spoke. 'Oh nuts. Ok dude, don't choke, don't choke' | |
| Zarc coughed a little in an attempt to mask the fact that his | |
| mind was going a mile a minute. "Well, of course! I have to be | |
| alright. I had some people to see that are very near and dear to | |
| my heart." He flipped his hair and gave a comical wink. 'Nailed | |
| it.' | |
| Zarc very much appreciated that River wasn't one to simply be | |
| content with rumors, and he wanted to recount his side of the | |
| story, but... "Yeah, though could that wait for, uh, later? | |
| We're hanging out to have some fun, aren't we?" | |

| The white glowing eyes under the hood would widen lightly at | |
| Zarc's starlight smile comment, before fluttering shyly a few | |
| times, the colours under the hood shifting to starry purples | |
| mixed now with a pink-red colour before slowly returning back to | |
| normal. | |
| It would soon go back to the 'blushing' colours though at Zarc's | |
| wink, River would gently kick a foot against the ground beneath | |
| her a couple times, swaying back and forth on the spot to get | |
| the colours back to normal, she was smiling though, there was no | |
| doubt about that. "[font=arialblack]Seems as though eating that | |
| lollipop has made you even sweeter Zarc~[/font]" She would | |
| finally look back up at him, "[font=arialblack]Not that you need | |
| sugar to be sweet[/font]" | |
| Out of all the monsters in the underground, Zarc had to be the | |
| one she was most comfortable around, and it showed really, Zarc | |
| could probably see how relaxed and comfortable she was to be in | |
| his presence. | |
| Her hood would nod along with her head as she gave her answer in | |
| response to Zarc's request, "[font=arialblack]Of course! Of | |
| course! Fill me in whenever you're ready to later on~[/font]" | |
| She would reply with calmly, respecting Zarc's wishes to save | |
| the explanation for later, and appreciating that he wanted to | |
| spend their time hanging out, by having fun. Her smile returned, | |
| and she would grip lightly at the hood part that hung over far | |
| enough to cover her face, "[font=arialblack]Oh also-[/font]" She | |
| would reach deep into a pocket on her hooded coat before pulling | |
| out a handful of lollipops that where different colours and | |
| shapes, "[font=arialblack]Pich whichever one you'd like[/font]" | |
| She would offer with a smile, extremely glad that her last | |
| lollipop to him, had helped him a great deal. But with it now | |
| gone, she of course had to give him another! | |
| As always, River was excited to spend time with Zarc, still just | |
| so glad to see that he was alright. | |

| Upon hearing River's compliment, Zarc's hair puffed out much | |
| like that of a supremely (positively) surprised owl. 'D-d-did | |
| she just pull a fast one on me?!' He went to clear his throat | |
| and made a very light hoot noise. 'Aw bugger. Quick, salvage, | |
| salvage!' At which point he properly cleared his throat. | |
| "Goodness gracious, what high praise~" He pushed his foggy | |
| glasses up on the side with one index finger, taking a very | |
| scholarly pose; straight back, relaxed shoulders. "If yoooou | |
| view it that way then I most certainly qualify." | |
| Zarc smiled back as he nodded. "Mhm, but first--" He paused as | |
| River rummaged around in her cloak for something. What a legend, | |
| she still had a stash of those lollipops! They were of his | |
| favorite brand, and a lot of them were very interesting shapes | |
| and flavors, but... "Wait.." Zarc held a hand near his mouth, | |
| before his eyes widened in childish glee. One candy in | |
| particular caught his attention, a purple star shaped lollipop | |
| with a red gummi center. "Is that... Is that blackberry | |
| red-star?" Zarc's wings fluttered for a moment. "Oh, River, you | |
| absolute charmer; you remembered my favorite~!" Slowly, he took | |
| the precious confectionery in his hands and put it in one of his | |
| coat pockets for later. | |
| "Well now, we can't just stand around here, would you like to go | |
| somewhere for some breakfast? I doubt many kiddos will be awake | |
| this early, so at the very least they won't swarm us." | |

| River would put a hand over her mouth to stifle a giggle when | |
| Zarc puffed up like an owl, she always thought it was cute when | |
| he did that, the little hoot noise made it even better! | |
| The hooded lady would smile brightly at Zarc's excitement at the | |
| lollipops, one in particular seemed to snag his interest, she | |
| would nod to confirm it was his favourite blackberry red-star, | |
| she was glad she had been lucky enough to get her hands on one | |
| before Zarc returned, "[font=arialblack]But of course![/font]" | |
| She would say, placing her hands together in front of her after | |
| Zarc had taken the lollipop, "[font=arialblack]I remember the | |
| favourites of my favourite monster[/font]". | |
| River would then run one of her arms shyly when he asked if she | |
| wanted to go somewhere for breakfast. She smiled lightly at the | |
| kid comment before looking aside. She didn't want to say no, she | |
| really wanted to go have breakfast with Zarc! But it involved | |
| going elsewhere and other monsters where elsewhere.. Suppose | |
| that's pretty inevitable, still, it would flare her anxiety a | |
| fair bit.. But.. | |
| "[font=arialblack]I... I would love to[/font]" | |
| But being with Zarc and spending some fun time with him was more | |
| important then that. She had to at least try for Zarc as he did | |
| for her. "[font=arialblack]Did you have somewhere in | |
| mind?[/font]" | |

| "Ah? Well, then could you do me a massive favor?" Zarc asked as | |
| he moved closer to the magic raft, holding a hand out for River | |
| to take; as he would guide her onto the raft if she accepted. | |
| "Always remember who you are." After all, River did just say | |
| that she would remember her favorite's favorites. | |
| The winged monster stroked his chin. He didn't exactly think | |
| that part through all too much. Generally he would suggest going | |
| to a park somewhere; but given the circumstances he would rather | |
| avoid going anywhere near a park, for in mere seconds some | |
| Monster children might converge upon him. "Truth be told, I | |
| didn't think that far. I don't think we should go to MTT, too | |
| many people; you'd be uncomfortable... As for Grillby's, I heard | |
| the water damage was fixed, yes, but that place is pretty | |
| popular with kids. Hmm." He looked over to River; at a loss for | |
| suggestions. "Any ideas on your part?" | |

| River would nod when Zarc asked if she could do him a favour, | |
| "[font=arial black]Of course Zarc~[/font]" She'd almost coo to | |
| him in a cool voice, she was relaxed in his presence, and it was | |
| something you could hear in her voice! | |
| When he said what the favour was, she would look at him for a | |
| moment, watching him board the raft and then offer to help her | |
| onto it, she looked at his hand before carefully sliding her | |
| hand onto it, wrapping her fingers around his as a smile came to | |
| her face as she nodded to his asked favour. It wasn't exactly | |
| what she was expecting for him to ask of her, but it was | |
| something she would try and do nonetheless for Zarc. | |
| Climbing onto the raft with Zarc, still having his hand in hers, | |
| she would listen to Zarc trying to work out where they should go | |
| to for breakfast. He crossed MTT and Grillby's off the list of | |
| possible options before asking her, she'd blink in surprise a | |
| little, before giving her head a gentle shake, trying to think | |
| back on places she'd seen or heard of. "[font=arial black]I | |
| heard of a nice quiet place somewhere around Waterfall, a shop | |
| that looks like a gingerbread house of sorts, I'm not sure of | |
| their opening hours though, but I did hear about getting a | |
| private venue there[/font]" She would suggest before placing a | |
| hand under the hood, presumably to her chin, "[font=arial | |
| black]There's also the man whom hands out Nicecreams, but that's | |
| not really breakfast is it? And it might attract | |
| children...[/font]" She would let off a low, gentle, rhythmic | |
| hum as she pondered, trying to think of more possible answers | |
| for Zarc. | |
