[hi, this is Tamaki's beaming and excited face. the Dreamberry was now propped up on a stand.]

Everyone, I thank you for participating in last week's Floating Lanterns event! It was a wonderful success, even if the ending wasn't quite what we all expected. [Overlord a.k.a. Sylvani appearing and all.] But I hope everyone's hopes and wishes come true, especially since one of mine did.

[he is getting more excited and clearly he has something more to say, but first he looks off screen and moves a bit.]

Haruhi, Haruhi! I want to show you something!

Hm? What is it...—!?

[Tamaki has grabbed her hand and wrapped his free arm around her waist to pull her close.]

Everyone, I have an important announcement to make!

[and with Haruhi still wide-eyed in shock, he holds her hand up to reveal this little beauty.]

Wait—Tamaki, what are you—!!

Haruhi and I are engaged~!!!

[yep, as of August 28, 2011, Tamaki and Haruhi are engaged.]

[ooc: Pink = Haruhi, and both will respond to comments!]

Warnings: ....Cute? Sparkles? Roses? Mostly cute. If you have an aversion to anything potentially cavity inducing, I suggest you look away now! Oh, and pretty much every character in Somarium may be found in here, especially if Tamaki has met or conversed with them at some point. So even though no one's really specifically named, feel free to assume they're there somewhere.
Dream Effects: Feelings of nervousness, a very strong sense of joy, and then ultimate elation will most likely occur. Some may even find themselves unable to stop from smiling. More sensitive ones may even shed a tear.

( And with this ring I thee wed... )
-----------------------------------

[for a brief moment, the camera catches Tamaki still asleep, a rather happy, boyish look on his face. he was hugging his pillow rather close, too, and was murmuring something—mostly sleep nonsense. perhaps something about a honeymoon somewhere.

he was still completely blissfully unaware that this was not his bed, let alone his own house. and what he was going to have to deal with once he woke up. but for now he was still happily dozing away.]

[ooc: uh, the first couple of people will probably get the sleepy replies, and then it's going to be random chance on whether he's confused, freaked out, or relatively calm at first (but later respondents will probably have "calmer" replies at first)]

[BACKDATED TO THIS MORNING.]

[At first it was hard to tell what was being shown, due to there being a hand covering the camera and thereby obscuring whatever view was available. But from the corners and edges of the screen, it was clear that the Dreamberry was moving, there was a "beep beep beep" sound coming from it that one could guess was an "alarm" sound. Soon a certain bleary eyed blond was staring right into the screen before managing to turn it off. He had apparently failed to do that in his previous fumblings and had instead turned it on.

He had no clue.

So he was staring at it, slowly starting to wake up, when he felt something shift beside him. Glancing over, there was a moment where his expression freezes before it changed to a sort of "...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH" moment, his face reddening by the second. But it passed after a few heart racing moments, and it gradually changed to something more soft and tender. Even though he was unconsciously lowering the Dreamberry, the camera was still tilted in a sort of tilted, upside down angle and soon anyone who happened to be watching would see that what had distracted him was a girl who was still sleeping with her head right against his shoulder.

Yes, that was indeed Haruhi for anyone who would recognize her, and there might have been some sort of shoujo sparkle bubble effect going on (with bonus sepia tone effect, one would really think they were watching some kind of movie) as Tamaki slowly leaned over—as if to give her a kiss—when the obvious happened. As soon as he was just a few inches away, Haruhi had slowly started to open her eyes, and they were now staring at each other.

Needless to say, they were quite flustered, particularly Tamaki. He had no idea he was even about to kiss her! that boy really should get that looked at. So they were now jerking backwards in shock.]

T-Tamaki!?! Why—how—!?

Ah!! Haruhi!! That—I—er—we—my alarm—

[Who knew what the boy was trying to say, but at this point he was pointing frantically at his Dreamberry, which he was now holding up to her. Haruhi's face was now fully on the screen. At first her expression was what anyone would have guessed: embarrassed, flustered, panicking, incredibly red. But then her face paled as she noticed a certain blinking light.]

AAAAHHH WHY IS IT RECORDING!??!

EEHHH!?!?

[At this point they both pretty much scrambled to turn it off, which of course instead made the situation worse since they kind of crashed into each other.

They did manage to succeed...but not before a nice final image of Haruhi sprawled on top of Tamaki was shown before it clicked off.

Also: they had their normal clothes on you dirty dirty minded people. It was pretty obvious they had just fallen asleep but they're young...who knows what could have happened. Or why they were there to begin with.]

[ooc: Pink font = Haruhi. also, Haruhi will also be tagging o/]

[Warnings] Uh...excuse the cliche shoujo manga elements? And this is Tamaki's head SO. Feel free to imagine sparkles and rose petals just. Everywhere. Even where they're not mentioned.
[Effects] Pretty much all the feelings one gets when they develop their first crush: panic, happiness, anxiety, embarrassment, confusion, longing, etc. etc.

[FILTERS: RANDOM!?] [because Tamaki pretty much scrambled to try and filter this from everyone, he wound up making a giant mess of the filters instead. so it's still pretty much public, but some parts are filtered from others and some are not. so here's a (hopefully not confusing) guide of how it works:

If you've never met Tamaki before: The dream will be pretty much unfiltered. Anyone who knows Haruhi may recognize her.

Castmates and close friends EXCEPT HARUHI: The dream will be pretty much unfiltered, and they'll be able to tell it's Haruhi.

If you know Tamaki or have spoken to him at least once: Dream is mostly unfiltered, but for some reason, the girl's face is either shadowed over or just cut from the screen completely. Any mentioning of the name is muted or scrambled. However, it's probably obvious who it is, regardless, because this is Tamaki we're talking about, so feel free to have the characters recognize who she is anyway.

Haruhi F.: You get a special filter 8Da; Since Haruhi was the one he definitely tried to filter this from, it's...a mess. She'll be able to see most of the dream, but she won't be able to tell who the girl is at all. The voice will be muted with only subtitles, any name references are muted/scrambled, and the face is either overshadowed or cut if there's a close up.

IF ANYONE IS CONFUSED...then just feel free to pick whether or not the character would recognize Haruhi or not xD I'm writing it as if it were just unfiltered for simplicity's sake. Plus, we can always just say it's all thanks to Tamaki's fail!filter skills |D]

-------------------------

( Just another high school romance!? )

AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!

[and this would be Tamaki shooting out of bed and scrambling to do his frantic fail!filter.

HE CAN'T LET HARUHI SEE THIS, OH GOD.]
