No real warnings for this chapter, except for the possible craving of cake.
I do not own Twisted Wonderland, it belongs to it's original owner. I only own my oc.
Got the urge to do another chapter after the long wait so here we are. Hopefully it's good. Let me know what you think ^^
Chapter 7: Unbirthday Parties bring the most unexpected surprises.
A week had passed since the invitation to the Unbirthday Party was sent and during that time, Tanza worked with Vil on designing an outfit that was suitable for the occasion. However, the design of the dress itself was rather hard to pick, mainly because of Tanza's desire to be more on the modest side and Vil wanting her to step a little out of her comfort zone and show her back and arms at most. Tanza felt a bit uneasy about that, but after gentle coaxing from both Vil and Judith, the latter being done in private for obvious reasons, she figured that one party of exposing her arms and back wouldn't be that bad. However, the idea of exposing her damaged back was nerving as she wasn't sure how the wound was, but thankfully, with Vils many weeks of medication magic being applied upon her back, the scar from the branding was almost completely gone, save for the blurred image that was faintly noticeable. Nothing that a bit of foundation won't fix, as Vil said. And so Tanza went on to work on choosing her makeup to go with the dress while it was being worked on.
In the end, she chose to wear eye shadow consisting of Heartslybul's colors – black, red and gold. Tanza used gold as the highlighting color, close to the tear duct, red for the central eye color, black for the outer corner color and a lighter amount of red eyeshadow for the crease, creating a simple smoky eye. She also used a black colored liquid eyeliner to make her eyes pop more. For her other makeup, she chose a light rouge for her blush and a lip gloss that was dark red, dark enough to make it appear she wasn't wearing lip gloss but colorful enough to notice that it was red. Along with her makeup, she also tried to see how she would wear her hair for the party. Normally she would wear her hair up, as it was tradition of whenever she wore her Templeland attire, but considering that it was always something she had done and that this wasn't one of her usual dresses, she decided to go with something different, wearing her hair down for this occasion.
When the dress finally came in, it was a spectacle for sure, not overly formal but not at all casual either. It was mainly white with a semi-sweetheart neckline, lined with gold colored lace on the interior and a simple black thin cross halter strap held the dress up, leaving her upper chest area bare. The stomach area was surrounded by a simple red corset with black laces on the front, giving her bust a bit of a lift. A ribbon of black and gold was tied around the waist and a simple two tier colored bow, the top black the bottom gold, was positioned at the front under the laces of the corset. The skit was layered, the top layer being white with a Macgregor plaid design of transparent black, translucent red and solid lines of gold mixed in. The pattern stopped at a line of gold fringe lace trimming that was asymmetrical, on the right side of the dress, the circle stopped around mid to lower thigh, but on the left side, the trimming came to a pinch just under her hip where a sewed on black bow that had a pocket watch as the centerpiece was placed. Under the crinkled gold fringe, the dress had a solid white loose flare fringe just above the solid red poofy underskirt that was exposed. A pair of solid white tights covered her legs while a pair of black low-heel pumps with red vamp line and a red bow on the top-line. To match the dress, Tanza would wear a simple red side hair bow with a white rose that was covered with red paint, just like the roses on the dorm uniforms of Heartslabyul. A pair of large white stone earrings outlined with small red beads adorned her ears, providing a contrast to her long hair and semi-dark makeup. Originally she did plan to leave her arms completely bare, but the dress didn't feel quite complete, so she went with a pair of elbow length black gloves with her right wrist wearing a white ribbon in the form of a small bow and her left wrist wearing a bracelet of small pearls.
The day finally came for the Unbirthday Party and Tanza just finished applying her lip gloss when a knock came to her bedroom door.
"Come in!" she called.
Just in that moment, Epel came into the room with a bag in hand.
"Hey Tanza, I brought the items that you- oh wow" Epel said, stopping mid-sentence as he looked at her, "You look amazing in that dress, Tanza" he said with a smile.
"Aww thank you, Epel" she said back to him, "You should thank Vil-san and his fellow members of the Film Appreciation club, they were the ones who made it" she added, giving credit where it's due. She then looked at the bag he was carrying, "Ah, thank you so much for getting that. I owe you lunch" she said as she gently took the bag and pulled out it's contents. "It would've been really bad if everyone saw me with my hair in a mess while going to get these. You're a life-saver, Epel" she added.
Epel gave a smile and a chuckle, "Think nothing of it" he said.
Inside the bag were two boxes of the finest black tea that could be found in all of Twisted Wonderland. One was a high quality bergamot orange Earl Grey tea blend, the other a wonderful Marsala Chai blend from the Southern Templelands. Both of which could be served with sweets and seemed perfect for a dorm who treats rules the same as gold and tea the same as silver. After taking off the plastic packaging, Tanza grabbed a present bag that was white but was decorated with a dripping red paint design made from red markers to make it similar to the white roses painted red while gold colored tissue paper filled the interior. The boxes were placed into the gift bag and the paper was ruffled to make it cover the contents within.
"There, that should do it. Just hope that this design doesn't break any of the rules" Tanza said.
"I think it looks great" Epel said, looking at the bag, "But why are you taking a gift? Is that a rule for the dorm?" he asked.
"No no, it's more of a rule that was taught to me by the sisters at the church in my hometown. We were always told that if we ever got invited to a party, we needed to bring a gift. Traditionally the gift would be something like wine or a baked treat, but since I'm not old enough to buy wine and there would be plenty of baked goods at the party, I decided to go with something that suits the dorm, and tea seems to be best suited for the occasion" Tanza explained.
"I see. That does make sense" Epel said.
Tanza then looked at her phone. She still had a little while before she was to meet up with Ace and Deuce to go to Heartslabyul, so she figured she might as well get some pictures done.
"Hmmm…Epel, might I ask another small favor?" she asked Epel.
"Hm? What might that be?" he asked.
"Could you help me take some pictures of me in this dress? I want to show my Aunt this outfit. She's a tailor and is curious about the design of the uniforms of this school and I'm sure she'd love to see this dress that Vil and the others made" Tanza explained.
"Oh, sure, I can do that" Epel said.
"Hmmm…but maybe my room isn't the best place to take them….Lets go to the ballroom" Tanza suggested.
"Eh? Uh, ok" Epel said, unsure of what she was thinking of.
But just as the two left the room, they were met by two other figures, Vil and Rook.
"Oh la la, Tanza, you look wonderful in that dress! And the way you have your hair is perfect for the entire picture! Tres Bien!" Rook said with a smile.
"We were just coming in to check on you, but it's clear you did a good job" Vil said. He then gazed at her eyes, "Hmm? Hold on" he said as he got closer to Tanza's face, gently taking her chin in his hand. "Close your eyes for me please" Vil said as a gentle command.
Tanza closed her eyes to show Vil her eyeshadow. She felt her chin gently being moved from side to side as she felt Vil's stern but gentle gaze upon her.
"Well well, you did a good job on the eyeshadow there. Not too strong but not too light either. A good balance. However, next time, you might consider going with a white eyeliner instead of black to make your eyes pop more" Vil suggested.
"I thought about that, but when I went to Sam's store, he was out of stock. He said that many of the Heartslabyul students bought the whole stock for the Unbirthday Party, which sounds a bit weird to me, but I settled for black this time since they didn't have any gold either" she said, explaining herself to Vil.
"I see. I'll let it slide this time since it was a predicament. However, overall the outfit and make up get 10's across the board. Now then, if it's alright with you, I'd like to have a few pictures taken of this outfit before you go to the party, as I'd like to save it for future reference" Vil requested.
"Certainly. I was planning to head to the ballroom to see about taking pictures to send to my Aunt anyway. But as long as those pictures aren't uploaded to Magicam, I'm good with you taking pictures" Tanza said.
"Of course, I had no plan to upload anything without your permission, Lemon Drop" Vil said with a smile.
And so the group moved on to the ballroom for a 'photo shoot' before the party.
-*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*v*-
Finally the time came to meet with Ace, Deuce, Yuu and Grim. After making sure that she had her gift, she grabbed a small bag she picked up in Sam's shop that matched her outfit. She placed her phone and a small notebook with her magic crystal pen, containing all the information that she wished to send to Riddle in regards to his request, inside the purse while she placed her protection crystal and her bolo pendant inside a small sewed in pocket in the breast area that she requested, as a means of protection. Once she was situated, Tanza made her way to the mirror that lead to the hall of mirrors. After going through, there she saw her group of friends standing at the entrance to Pomefiore's mirror.
"There you ar- Woah!" Ace said as he looked in shock.
"Tanza, you….you look…" Deuce trailed off, not saying anything.
Tanza grew worried, "Look what?" she asked.
"A…A…Amazing!" the boys said at the same time loudly.
Tanza flinched at that but then blushed, "Aww thanks guys. I was hoping that this outfit would work. After all, I don't think Pomefiore's dorm uniform would match well with the scene of Heartslabyul" she said with a nervous chuckle.
"Seeing this, it's as if you're a member of Heartslabyul after all" Grim said with a chuckle.
"It suits you well" Yuu said with a smile.
"Thanks boys. Now then, shall we get going? Wouldn't want to be late after all" Tanza said with a smile.
The guys all nodded and they made their way to the mirror to the Heartslabyul dorm. Tanza followed behind when a figure caught the corner of her eye, turning her gaze to the one in question.
The person was a young man with dark skin and quite long black hair consisting of a ponytail that had some hair simply in the ponytail while the other parts were tightly woven braids and decorated with various gold hair pieces. He was wearing a typical NRC school uniform, but rather than a simple button up shirt with a vest, he wore what appeared to be a red hoodie, the hood of the garment clearly noticeable beneath his hair. The man in question was carrying a few brown bags, what Tanza assumed to be from Sam's shop. She didn't get a good look at his face, as his face turned the moment she looked at him, but she couldn't stop looking at his back, the hair swaying back and forth a bit, making a faint sound that resembled bangles clinking together. The figure turned his way into one of the mirrors, the one that was labeled 'Scarabia' and disappeared into it.
Tanza watched the mirror for a moment, a strange feeling coming over her as the image of the person's back etched itself into her mind, until she heard her name being called.
"Oi, Tanza, you coming or what?" Grim called out, snapping Tanza out of her daze.
"Huh? Oh! Coming!" she said. She then rushed to catch up with the boys and pass through the mirror, but not before stopping for a second to glance back at the Scarabia mirror for a few seconds, and then turning back to the Heartslabyul Mirror and did a small jump through it.
After jumping through the mirror, the first thing that pops out at Tanza is the large dorm of Heartslabyul, the red and black clearly standing out strongly against the green of the maze hedges and the heart shaped rose bushes along with the banner that carried the dorm's insignia.
"Great Spirits, this place is amazing" Tanza said to herself.
"We got worried that you wouldn't come through, did something happen?" Deuce asked Tanza.
"Hm? Oh no, I just saw someone out of the corner of my eye and wasn't sure who it was" she answered him.
"Huh? Who did you see?" Ace asked.
Tanza was about to answer when she heard someone's voice.
"Hi hi! There you guys are. We were beginning to wonder what happened to you guys" the voice said.
Tanza turned her attention to the person who spoke along with one other face. The first person she saw, the one who first greeted them, was a young man with orange colored hair that was half up in a short ponytail who had a diamond mark under his right eye. Green eyes looked on in both happiness and surprise at the group. The second person was one who was about the same height as the orange haired fellow, but his hair was short and green under a dorm themed fedora. His warm hazel eyes behind a pair of full rimmed glasses. Unlike his orange haired counterpart, he only gave a friendly smile.
"Oh? So you're the one who we've heard about. Tanza I believe?" the green haired young man asked.
Tanza nodded, "Yes sir. Tanza Frallen" she said with a small curtsy. She then looked at the men, "And you both are…?" she asked.
The orange haired young man spoke first, "I'm Cater, Cater Diamond. But you can call me Cate-kun, Tanza-chan" he said.
The green haired man then smiled and gave a wave, "And I'm Trey Clover, vice house-warden of Heartslabyul, pleased to meet you, Tanza" he said politely.
Tanza smiled at both of them, "Nice to meet you both" she said. She then showed the bag that she held to Trey, "I don't know if this is to be given to you or to Riddle, but I was always told that it's rude to come to a party and not bring a gift. So I brought this for everyone" she said.
Trey's eyebrows raised a bit as he took the gift, "I'll take it for now, but thank you for this gift. Please enjoy the party" he said with a smile.
"By the way, Tanza-chan, you look amazing with that outfit. Would you mind if I took a picture to post on Magicam?" Cater asked.
"Yes to picture but no to Magicam. I'd like to stay off the sites if possible" Tanza asked.
"Eh? But why? Everyone would love this outfit" Cater stated.
"Lets just say that there is someone who is obsessed with people who look just like me and I fear what might happen if he discovers me. Plus, I don't think it's good for NRC to show the world that there is a girl in an all boys school, do you?" Tanza asked.
Cater thought about it and gave a hum, "Well that's true. Ok, if I happen to get you in a picture, I'll blur you out so that you're not online. Will that work?" he asked.
Tanza thought about it, "Well, as long as it does blur me out to where no one can fix it, I'll let it go" she said.
"Yay! Then…say cheese!" Cater said as he took a picture.
Tanza struck a simple pose for the photo and gave her best smile, hoping deep down that it came out ok.
"Nice one!" Cater said. Just then the trumpet to signal the arrival of Riddle played and everyone left to go to enjoy the party.
A few minutes later, the trumpets sound and one of the students shouted out an announcement.
"Make way for our leader, the Red Ruler: House Warden Riddle!" he announced.
"Cheers for House Warden Riddle!" shouted the other students.
Tanza stayed with the usual quad as Riddle inspected the party closely. All seemed to be going well until…
"Wait a moment!" Riddle called out, making everyone freeze. "That white rose…" he started.
The atmosphere changed from calm excitement to growing panic as everyone feared the wrath of the dorm leader. But then the red headed house warden gave a chuckle.
"Just kidding. I won't get angry over every mistake anymore" Riddle said in a kind voice.
In that moment everyone happily started to work on the bushes that weren't red, making their way a good distance from the party, but Tanza stayed away for the sake of not ruining her dress. Despite the distance, Tanza was able to see Riddle and kept a close watch on his actions.
'Seems like he's in control for now' Judith said to Tanza inside her mind.
'Are you saying that in terms of observance or because of what your shadow fragment says?' Tanza asked her.
'Both. From what I can sense, it would appear that Riddle took your advice a little bit, recalling how he was before. And I remember him thinking specifically, 'If I forgive them for a genuine mistake, then it'll make the residents happy. After all, not everyone remembers the rules of the Queen of Hearts, so I'll try to give them a gentle reminder' or something along those lines' Judith explained.
'Good to know. It seems his healing is progressing smoothly' Tanza said. She then gave a sigh and looked down in worry, 'But I'm not sure how he'll feel about the results of his request from before' she thought worryingly.
'Oh shush, you'll do fine in the ceremony. I have faith in you, but you need it in yourself' Judith said encouragingly.
After the painting was done, Riddle and the rest returned to the party, and it was then that the house warden finally noticed the Pomefiore guest.
"Oh, Tanza. I didn't see you when I came in. And I can now see why that is, I was looking for your Pomefiore uniform" Riddle said with a chuckle.
Tanza snapped out of her thoughts and gave a smile, then a teasing smirk, at Riddle before giving a bow-curtsy, "Greetings, your majesty" she said as she looked up at him and gave him a joking wink.
Riddle gave a chuckle, recalling what he told her before about greetings, "I'll let your greeting pass since your outfit makes up for it" he said.
Tanza stood back up, "Yeah, I thought that this was more suitable and appropriate for the party" she said simply. She then remembered the other topic of question. "Also, Riddle-senpai, would you have time after the party for a talk? I have information about the topic of interest from the other day and I would like to discuss the results with you" she explained.
Riddle thought back to the other day and his eyes widened a little bit before giving her a sad smile, "Unfortunately I don't have time after the party as I have plans already, however, if you have time tomorrow, I'd be happy to open a few hours to talk" Riddle offered.
"Tomorrow…hmm, tomorrow is a Saturday" Tanza then pulled her phone and looked through her schedule. "Lets see….I should be open to talk after 3pm if that is alright with you" she suggested.
Riddle thought back to his schedule and recalled that there was nothing going on for him that day, so he smiled and nodded, "Tomorrow at 3:30 then. And please don't be late," he said before giving her a teasing grin, "or you know what happens" he said, but then did a quick, "Just kidding" with a chuckle. "I'll also ask Trey to make some tea for us as we discuss things" he suggested.
Tanza chuckled back, "I'll make sure not to be late, then" she said happily.
"Very well, please do enjoy the party" Riddle said with a grateful smile.
"By the way, Dorm Leader, what happened to that tart you said you were going to make?" Ace said while looking at Riddle.
Riddle stiffened and turned to Ace, "I-I made it, don't worry" he said. He then turned to a tea cart and brought out a nice-looking red tart cake. "Here, I made a strawberry tart" he stated.
Everyone took a look at the tart, including Tanza.
'It does look good' she thought.
'I wouldn't eat it if I were you' Judith said, interrupting her thoughts.
'Hm? Why?' Tanza asked her.
'You'll see. Just wait, watch and learn' Judith said simply.
Tanza knew that Judith was never wrong about these sorts of intuition situations, so she took the advice and stayed back while everyone else took a bite. But after a moment, it was clear why Judith said what she said.
"This is….SALTY!" all of the boys who tried it said together.
"Ehhh?!" Riddle shouted in shock.
"Wha? Salty?" Tanza asked, "Why is it salty?" she added, asking while turning to Riddle.
"I bought all of the needed ingredients and followed the recipe to the letter. I don't understand how it could-uh?!" Riddle stopped, remembering something clearly, "No way, could it be the oyster sauce?" he said.
Tanza looked at Riddle dumbfounded, why would he put that in a sweet?
'Told ya' Judith said simply as a smirking feeling surrounded Tanza.
The outer sweatdropped at the thoughts of the inner, 'Good call' she said simply. But she was brought out of her trance by Trey's laughter.
"I can't believe you took that joke seriously!" he said between laughs.
Riddle chuckled but then it became a full laugh, "Yeah, it was pretty silly of me" he said before giving another laugh.
As everyone got a good laugh out of the whole ordeal, a strange person suddenly appeared and started eating the tart. He was revealed to be a member of Royal Sword Academy, NRC's biggest rival school. Tanza was about to ask a question when the cat fellow disappeared after getting chased out.
'Oh well. Might see him later' Tanza thought to herself.
Shortly after that, the party went on without any trouble, with Tanza sitting next to Riddle on her left and Ace on her right. And as Tanza requested, a healthier sweet was served along with the strawberry tarts and monte blanc tart that was remade, but this healthy dish was a Tarte aux Fruit. It was arranged in a traditional flower form with two types of peaches making the outer rim, strawberries and kiwi's making the second layer that was dappled with blueberries and finally topped with three whole strawberries and a small sprig of mint on top. The layers were coated in some sort of gloss that made the colors and details of the fruits pop, almost like something out of a famous cooking magazine. Trey then cut a slice for both Riddle and Tanza and placed each slice before them.
"I hope you like it" Trey said.
Tanza looked at Riddle to see what he thought of the tart first, hoping that it was too his liking.
Riddle took a bite of the tart and smiled, "It's not as sweet as the strawberry tart, but the slight sourness of the filling brings out the natural sweetness of the fruits. It doesn't taste heavy either, not like a filling made from cream or custard. This truly is delicious Trey, well done" he said with a smile as he took another bite.
With that positive critique, Tanza then moved to her own silverware and made a small cut into the cake as well, taking a bite after the cut. Riddle was right on the money with the critique, not at all heavy and perfectly bringing out the fruit's natural flavors. It was as if she was eating fresh fruit with a light whipped cream. And the crust on the bottom provided a nice nutty flavor to the dish, a nice contrast to the sweetness of the other ingredients.
"What is the bottom made of? It doesn't taste like a graham cracker crust…" Tanza asked.
"It was partly made with graham crackers, but the bottom itself is mainly made with finely crushed almonds and chestnuts. I figured that it would be healthier than a typical graham cracker crust. I just hope that it meets Pomefiore's standard" Trey said with a sweatdrop.
"I would say that it is. Natural sweetness and healthy ingredients work perfectly together. I'd give you 15 out of 10, Trey-senpai" Tanza said with a smile.
Trey smiled in gratitude, "I'll have to remember this recipe for Vil if he would like a sweet for a party of his own" he said.
"You can use me as a witness if you need proof of taste and healthiness" Tanza offered as she took another bite.
The party then went on with both sweets and even a round of croquet. Tanza had to learn the rules and the limits of both hedgehogs and flamingoes, but she eventually got the hang of it. She didn't win any matches, but she had a lot of fun with the boys of the dorm. It was a warm and welcoming atmosphere…until Riddle went on to scold a few dorm students for breaking a few of the rules. This brought Tanza back to reality and made her very glad that she wasn't in this dorm, as she would've broken several rules anyway. But regardless, she was happy to have taken part in the party.
Soon it came time for the guests of the party to leave, mainly Yuu, Grim and Tanza, and all said their goodbyes to the residents of Heartslabyul. After going through the mirror, Grim then looked at Tanza.
"By the way, you said that you saw someone strange before you entered the mirror. Do you remember who you saw?" he asked her.
"Hm? Oh, that's right, I did see someone. I didn't get a good look at their face, but at first I thought it was another girl. But thinking about it now, I doubt it. They had long black hair that was held in a ponytail, one half of the hair was straight but the other half consisted of braids and hair ornaments. Very decorated, very elaborate. And I think they had dark skin, but by the time I looked at them, I couldn't really tell" Tanza explained. She then recalled where said person went, "Oh, and they went through the mirror to Scarabia" she said, pointing to the mirror of said dorm.
"Hmmmm….Long dark hair….scarabia….hmmm…doesn't seem to ring a bell…maybe the next time you see them, you can ask them who they are, cause now I kinda wanna know" Grim said.
"Maybe, but I don't know if I should or not…cause when I saw their back, I felt strange….I can't describe it, but it felt like…a strange sense of calm came over me….I don't know, but maybe it's better if I avoid them for now in case it's dangerous" Tanza said, going into thought.
"Eh? Why would it be dangerous?" Grim asked, confused.
"I don't know….but after seeing them go through the portal, it was like….the feeling of being lead into a trap or something….hmmm…." Tanza's brow furrowed, like she was trying to find the right words.
"Like you could let your guard down but your instincts tell you that you can't?" Yuu asked.
Tanza then looked at him, "Yes, something like that. It's conflicting…and I'm not sure if I like it…" she said, a bit unsure. However, she took a deep breath and gave a sigh, "Maybe I'm just overthinking it. The party did take a lot out of me and it could be that I'm just getting tired. A nice shower and a good rest should put me at ease" she said.
Yuu nodded, "That does sound like a good idea. I'm a bit tired after playing croquet. Don't think I'll have energy to practice my Kendo tonight after that" he said, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"Hm? Ken-do? What's that, if I may ask?" Tanza asked curiously.
Yuu then gave her a brief description of what Kendo was in his world and how he trained for it. He also told her that he was the captain of the Kendo club as his old high school and how he would train some of the students.
"Interesting, very interesting. I kept wondering how you had a build like this, but I didn't take you as the type to go over the top like Jack. But now that you've told me this, it makes so much sense. In fact, it doesn't seem that different from some of the military training that I received back at home. But I could be wrong" Tanza said, her mind in thought.
"Military training?" Yuu asked.
"Well, perhaps it's a bit old fashioned compared to now, but we did a lot of gladiatorial based fighting with swords and shields. But I would always toss the shield and stick to a single sword. I felt like the shield was keeping me down, you know? Hindering me from making a stronger attack" Tanza explained.
"Ahh, I see what you mean" Yuu said, "Kendo is often done with a single sword, so maybe you'd do good practicing it" he suggested.
"Really? Would you be willing to show me sometime?" Tanza asked.
"Sure, I'd be happy to teach you the basics" Yuu said with a smile.
"Basic knowledge is the best knowledge to start with. But not tonight. For now, the shower is calling me" Tanza said, "I'll see you guys on Monday, ok?" Tanza said with a smile.
"Yep, see you then. And don't worry, we'll keep a watch out for that weird guy you mentioned" Grim said with a toothy grin, "I'll be sure to protect you from all the bad guys" he said with a chuckle.
Tanza gave a small laugh, "You're sweet Grim, but I can take care of myself. Thanks for the offer though" she said as she gave Grim a good chin scratch, earning a purr from the cat imp. "Have a good night, boys" she said as she waved goodbye before going through the mirror to Pomefiore.
Yuu and Grim then went on their way, with Grim talking about all the sweets that he ate at the party and Yuu shaking his head at his 'pet's' antics.
Author's Notes
That's it for this chapter. Don't know if the next one will come up as quick as this one did, but we'll see. Let me know what you think, also grammar can sometimes be overlooked so if you see anything, please point it out and I'll fix it ^^;
Now for some fun facts
-Had to go with a diagram to see how eyeshadow is typically applied since I myself am not too big of a makeup fan, so for all make-up enthusiasts out there, if I've made any mistakes, please inform me if I didn't use the right terms.
- Tanza's dress was inspired by a dress up game from Azalea's Dolls, ironically called Alice in Wonderland. It's also the same game I made Tanza's school uniform on, so if you guys are curious about the rough pictures, I'll post them. Just let me know in the comments.
- Some of the text involving Riddle's attitude at the party were rewritten clips taken from the game or at least a translation of the text from AmiYoshiko's youtube stream series of the game. Credits to AmiYoshiko's Youtube Channel for translation reference. (If I did this wrong, please inform me as I want to make sure credit is properly given where credit is due).
- Spoilers for Kingdom Hearts 3 (Though I feel this is somewhat not needed, but putting this up there just in case): The style in which the Tarte aux Fruit was described was inspired by the tarte that was presented in the game Kingdom Hearts 3 to Sora and the gang after meeting with Uncle Scrooge.
-I believe I mentioned this before, but Yuu is inspired by the manga of the same name where he is the captain of the Kendo club at his old high school.
And I believe that is it. Let me know what you guys think and I'll catch ya next time. Thanks for your patience ^^
