Nico Nico San [Dream Event]

[nicocism]

[Is Union's most desperate talented up-and-coming idol dreaming about life on the stage? Not tonight, she isn't... no, tonight's menu is a trio of fairy-type tales:]

[A. Cyndaquilla]

[Here's Nico, so covered in soot from working day in and day out that they compare her to a cynadquill (yet still the prettiest one around of course), lamenting her misfortune to be trapped in such a mean household.]

All day I work, yet even after everything I've done, they still won't let me go to the dance party! Boo hoo, won't anyone take me away?

[Those sure are some crocodile tears as she hams this up for what it's worth]

[B. The Knight, the Princess and the Dragon-Type]

[Out of the cave comes rumbling a fearsome Hydreigon, three heads snapping. Before them, their hapless sacrifice: a beautiful idol princess tied to a stake, no chance of escaping them!]

Kyaaa! Save me!

[Are you a gallant knight come to rescue her? Or perhaps a wizard or a rogue? But before she can be reached, the dragon turns on her and unleashes a powerful dragon pulse right at her, blasting everything away in harsh blue light! And all that remains is charred ashes... and Nico, standing completely unscathed?]

Haha, didn't you know dragons can never beat magic!

[Oh right, she's part fairy-type.]

Take this!

[That... that sure was a big, pink heart beam she shot at the Hydreigon... and it's super effective.

Did she really need a knight to begin with?]

[C. Queen of Darkness-types]

[And in a complete reversal of roles, have Nico, not in rags, not in torn princess dress, but in full skanky sexy leather with thigh-high boots and shoulder-length gloves that have all the material her tiny top and shorts don't showing that she is the Etna of succubi as far as curves are concerned, sitting atop a huge, black throne in the flame lit hall. Completing the look are horns, wings, a tail and poor Kara, her murkrow, perched at her side, giving a few ominous caws while wondering why the heck does she have to play along with this?]

Now, kneel before me! Kneel, and I might spare you!

[Nico has the worst fantasies.]


[OOC: As a note, Nico may finally make use of some of her enlightened powers - as it stands, she can minorly/temporarily charm or otherwise emotionally manipulate people (think Charm or Fake Tears and the like).]

[erichika]

Make me.

[nicocism]

Sh, shut up! Well, usually Princesses are a little nicer than you!

[because Nico's one to talk]

[nicocism]

Kh... [YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNEEL, DARN IT] Guards!

[From the shadows, jumps the fearsome... Marill, Ruri, and the fluffy Skiploom, Haneko. Yeah, they're about as fearsome as shtey sound, pouncing on Eri and trying to force her to her knees. Or maybe just hugging her arms? It's hard to tell.]

[nicocism]

Yeah, see? [She gestures about the ominous, flame-lit throne room] What else do you think this whole set up is about, huh?

[GGGEEEEZZZ, WHY CAN'T EVERYONE JUST ACCEPT THAT SHE'S BETTER THAN THEM?]

[nicocism]

W, woah-!

[Nico's not sure about sparkles made by someone other than her but she looks on as they engulf and surround her... then before she knows it, there's a flash of light, and...]

[nicocism]

Hmhm, well even if it's because they told me too, I'm going to do a perfect job, okay?

[Cleaning is srs bsns]

[nicocism]

Well, you have to follow all my orders, first of all. And help me out with all our evil duties, okay? Like... stealing hearts and casting spells.

[unbalancedlove]

[And, like the mysterious chanting she did predicted, the outcome is... is...]

You look adorable!

[ricericebaby]

S-stealing hearts?

[HOW SCANDALOUS]

[future_sight]

I guess we should get to making your dress, huh?

[Nico's helping, right? Also suddenly singing pokemon what in the world Nico your dreams are weird.]

[nicocism]

Wow, this is super cu-

[HOLD ON JUST A DARN MINUTE]

I can't go to the ball like this!

[nicocism]

Of course!

[Nozomi, don't even question it; if she can teach her pokemon to dance in real life, they sure as hell can sing in a dream. They're all marching up the stairs and gathering materials to help put together her dress, all while synchronized dancing. Good luck keeping up, Nozomi.]

[nicocism]

Yep! You'll have to practice the magical incantation, so repeat after me, okay?

[YOU KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT]

Nico~ Nico~ Ni~!

[erichika]

Your guards might need a bit more training. Jakša!

[Eri's Nidoqueen roars and stalks over, giving Ruri and Haneko the Look of Death(tm)]

[future_sight]

[Synchronized dancing are you serious right now. jfc OKAY I GUESS SHE'S DOING THIS. Thankfully, she's been training with Eri a bit, so she isn't a complete failure, and after some trial and error, she manages. Is this necessary for getting materials? Probably not. But it was kind of fun, as much as she'd hate to admit it.

It's time for a musical sewing montage! You've got some amazing seamstresses, Nico, because, along with Nozomi, they manage to make a dress in short order. It's sad that it will get ripped up and ruined before she gets her actual dress, but that's how the story goes, right?]

[cutiepanther]

I'm plenty nice, you just need to learn from me how to act.

[ Maki tosses her hair back, trying to sound tough and mature, but she's definitely still a little shaken up. ]

S-So are you going to help me up or not?

[ricericebaby]

O-okay... like this?

[Hanayo does her best to mimic the pose, but god is it embarrassing. Her heart is clearly not in it. And neither is her voice.]

Nico... Nico... Ni...

[unbalancedlove]

It's fluffy and cute, I'm sure it'll be a huge hit! Plus you are bound to get the prince's attention this way.

[Kotori that's not the issue.]

[nicocism]

[Wow WHO LET THAT IN HERE.

Predictably, the tiny little pokemon flee to go hide behind Nico as she stomps around on her podium]

Hey, hey, that's not allowed, not allowed! Who said you could bring that in here?

[nicocism]

[Nico opens her mouth to say something back but she notices that trembling. She knew Maki had some kind of problem with pokemon so... maybe siccing that dragon on her - even if it was just a dream - was a little too mean...]

W, well, if you really need a knight's hand then...

[Even if she's the one dressed as a princess, she offers a hand to the actual knight to help her up]

[nicocism]

I, I'll look totally out of place! They won't want me to dance with them, they'll want me to dance for them!

[Which is normally her thing but THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO]

[nicocism]

[This is just like all those cute musicals she'd watched as a kid~ Nico's probably enjoying this way too much, and it's not just because of the beautiful (if impoverished) dress that's she's nearly crying tears of joy when it's finished]

Look, it's so wonderful! I'm sure the prince will love it!

[nicocism]

Come on, louder! You're not going to steal any hearts like that!

[THE BEATINGS TRAINING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES]

Nico~ Nico~ Ni~

[cutiepanther]

[ Even if Nico is small, Maki's surprised that she's strong enough to pull her up like this. Maybe it's just because she's in her own dream, but whatever it is, it makes Maki embarrassed, having to rely on someone else, especially Nico of all people. ]

T-Thank you, Sir Nico. [ There, teasing Nico a little should make her feel better. She IS teasing, even if she hasn't realized that it might go to the girl's head. ]

[ricericebaby]

All... all right...

[Hanayo glances around quickly to make sure no one is watching.]

Nico... Nico... Niiiiii!

[There's a bit of desperation in her voice, the catchphrase coming out just a little too loud, the combined effect of Hanayo both trying too hard and still being incredibly embarrassed.]
