[STORY] (maybe more coming? idk) Dice sighed as he stared at the sky, it was pretty today, golds mixing with orange as light pink clouds danced about. He was lying on his side, attempting to let his own cloud he was laying on soothe him. The latest meeting had been a disaster, ██li was pushing another insane idea onto the council and this time he didn’t know if they could be dissuaded. Lately it seemed as if all their plans to ‘improve life’ were impulsive and half-baked. Sure, M███ had just lost ███ but come on, they were never exactly a functional pair, before or after. Was the other really that attached? How is Dice supposed to fix this? What does he have to do? What does he have to /give/? He groaned, curling up into a ball and shutting his tired eyes. Fatigue washed over him, he was exhausted. Sleep was reaching for him, and Dice let it settle like a blanket around his body. He’ll fix this later. Who else would? ⚀⚁⚂⚃⚄⚅ “Dice. Dice. Dice! Dicentra!” Someone is screaming in his ear. How pleasant. Dice peels open an eye wincing at the bright sunlight shining down. Luckily the glare is immediately blocked out by a figure. Unluckily, when the silhouette comes into focus Dice is met with the slightly unhinged grin of Puck. Dicentra groans, of course it's Puck. He closes his eyes again, kicking blindly at the other celestial when they laugh and poke a claw into Dice’s side. “Soooo, I see you’re being /very/ productive figuring out how to deter M██i.” Dice hears them circle as they talk and decides that pretending to sleep is more trouble than it's worth, especially when you’re dealing with Puck. “Like you have any ideas,” Dice shoots back as he hauls himself up into a sitting position, blinking at the sun but watching as the other celestial stops their pacing and beams, eyes narrowed dangerously despite the smile. Before Puck can even open their mouth in indignation Dice stops them, “And I mean good ones, /effective/ plans. Not ones that will get us incarnated in front of the entire committee.” The celestial sticks out their forked tongue and rolls their eyes, “They wouldn’t do that to /you/, you’re too important.” There's a hint of jealousy in their tone that Dice ignores as he stands and stretches, scratching at his ears. “Whatever.” A glare from Puck, “Now why did you wake me again?” He starts walking across the cloudy plain towards nowhere in particular, trusting the other to follow. Which they do, eventually. “Oh! So /now/ the ever powerful Dicentra deigns to listen to a lowly celestial like myself.” Puck places a dramatic taloned paw to their chest, eyeing Dice mockingly. “Just spit it out.” He continues to walk, leaving Puck to snort in irritation as they bound along to keep up, wisps of clouds floating skyward from where the being kicked them up. Eyes narrowed Puck speaks, “A meetings been called, ██li is pushing all members of the committee to vote on their new plan. Immediately.” Dice stops walking, giving Puck his entire attention, “She’s going mad Dice! I’ve tried talking to the others but they're too scared by him to even consider disobeying. We’re utterly screwed!” Their eyes are wide, more scared than Dice has ever seen the being. Dice’s mind starts to race, what to do, what to do, what to do. Puck is watching them intently, clearly trusting him to handle this. He doesn’t know what to do! No allies in the commettee other than Puck, and who is going to trust the celestial of /hysteria/? Suddenly it hits him. Dice knows what to do. This was going to be a /long/ meeting.
