This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

I don't think I could be a Prince, as long, as I am exposed to such an impure sight
*Turn my head to the side to glance at NRG, my smiling lips still close enough to Iris' to brush them as I speak.*
Lady Chani wrote: Sounds like you have permission to really work on the stealing, sharnii... though the idea of a competition for my affections sounds rather... lovely.
*quietly looks over at NRG on the other side of Iris and sharnii with a faint smile, then slips around to next to him, stroking his shoulder soothingly* It is quite the show, isn't it?
*Next smiles tenderly at Chani.*
"Although I wish to keep lovely Iris in this somewhat...compromising position at the moment..."
*Slips hands to brush the sides of Iris' breasts, still beneath her dress.*
"I look forward to competing for your favors, my lady."
*Watches the ongoing interaction between Chani & NRG with smoldering blue eyes. Enjoys the sweet words they whisper to each other.*
NRG wrote: Somebody has to be a true Prince in this world
*Murmurs consideringly.* "A true prince. But what makes a true prince, if it is not the desire and ability to accommodate a princess' wishes?"
*Her right thumb moves lightly to almost touch Iris' nearby nipple, but slides to the side at the last minute.*
"And every princess has different desires, and different seasons of desire."
Chani wrote to KTK: I happen to be a bit more subdued and private to my flirting. ... though I do wonder just how apt your title is. Am I a true princess at all?
*Arches eyebrows curiously as she softly kisses Iris once more, this time at the very corner of her lips.
Wonders what Chani means by her suggestive question...decides to court an answer from her at a later opportune time.*

<kisses Chani's neck, and after a while watches sharnii intensively>
A Prince must feel, that it is his duty to serve and protect the Princesses of the world. Yet, a very small number of girls is noble enough to become worthy of the title. Yet, you sharnii, Chani, and Iris are worthy, I am sure of that
<whispers to Chani "Let's sit on the couch... The positions can be much more comfortable that way, don't you agree?">

*also watches sharnii for a bit before replying to her*
Another time then, sharnii, when you're not distracted so much by a beautiful girl.
*turns back to NRG, smiling faintly*
I'm not a very good princess at all, o sweet prince, but I am glad to hear you consider me such.
*in response to his whispered words, her smile brightens a bit and she nods, allowing herself to be led over to the couch*

<gently places his hand on Chani's arm and leads her to the comfortable couch, and sits on the blanket, where rose petals are scattered all over>
I think you'll like this nocturnal concerto, that we're going to listen to in a few minutes
Offline
*quietly sits by NRG and leans into his lap comfortably*
I do enjoy music, so it will indeed be lovely.
*picks up and idly twirls a rose petal*
Offline
<smiles, and plays "Astral Romance" by Nightwish on his laptop>
I know the laptop isn't as romantic as a piano, but It's not possible to play it otherwise
<his eyes observe the twirled petal>
And that makes me feel... hungry, if you know what I mean
<strokes Chani's cheek>
Offline
*smiles up at NRG, and at the music, still idly twirling the rose petal*
Perhaps you should do something to fix that hunger of yours...
Offline
<freezes for a while, then takes another petal, and starts to stroke her neck with it>
Perhaps I should.... but then I would lose my nobility, wouldn't I?
Offline
*shivers slightly at the faint touch of the rose against her skin*
I wouldn't think so... even the noble ones have desires, and I think that so long as they govern themselves with respect and kindness, it will not sully them. It will be a thing of light and beauty, not a blight.
Offline
Is that so? Well, my desire is always, that a woman should feel comfortable when I'm near her. Do you feel comfortable, Princess Chani?
Offline
*a gentle chuckle falls from her lips* If I were not comfortable here with you, I would not still be here, Prince.
Offline
Good answer. Now close your eyes, and let me be your delight
Offline
You already are a delight... but, all right.
*Chani smiles warmly as she lets her eyes fall closed, shifting just slightly in NRG's lap to be a bit more comfortable*
Offline
<leans toward her face, and softly kisses her warm lips, blushing, as if it was something terribly immoral. Meanwhile, he starts delicately stroking her breasts with his palm, and whispers "If anything is going to be wrong, just tell me>
Offline
*a soft noise of surprise escapes her lips as he touches her breasts, her eyelids fluttering a bit but remaining closed*
There's no problem, nothing wrong. *her voice is also a whisper to match his*
Offline
You are safe. You can believe me, that I'm not going to do anything against your will <licks her neck>
Offline
*shivers slightly from the lick on her neck*
I know. I trust you.
*carefully reaches up to find NRG's face and strokes a finger along his jawline for a bit*
Offline
<"I should shave myself more often", jokes NRG, as Chani's finger travels around his jawline. He whispers "What would you say, if we took a nap on this comfortable couch, in each others embrace?>
Offline
I would say that sounded like a good idea. Very very nice.
*the smile on her face widened, but still her eyes remained closed*
Offline
<NRG gently lies on the couch, and wraps Chani's body in his arms>
Very well, then. Let's take a quick nap, and in that time let's enjoy the close distance between our bodies
<kisses her passionately>
Offline
*cuddles closely to NRG, one arm about his waist, as she responds almost eagerly to the passionate kiss*
Mm. It will be nice to nap with you.
Offline
<hides his face in her beautiful hair, inhaling the scent of roses from her skin>
I do believe that
<comforts her, and kisses gently her closed eyes>
Offline
*Iris vanishes in a flash from sharnii's embrace, leaving sharnii looking all around herself in amazement.*
"Hmm. I knew it was dangerous to flirt in such a magical realm as Ohtori...should have taken note when that creepy Anthy chick kept disappearing out of her school uniform."
*She sighs and runs her fingers through her hair.*
"Oh well. A change of pace is in order then. All of this assertiveness makes me long to experience my own feminine charms."
(Side note: No I do not mean time to masturbate, people! C'mon! Minds out of the gutter!! )
*With a magical flash of her own she turns into a princess, wearing a slinky red dress instead of the silky red suit. Oh my.
Looks at the piano appraisingly, stroking one hand over its smooth surface.
Looks up at the mellow moon in a clear night sky. Smiles.
Glances over toward NRG & Lady Chani napping peacefully on the couch. Smiles appreciatively at the romantic sight they make.*
"I'll play some music to run through their dreams."
*Seats herself gracefully at the piano and pauses with fingers softly stroking the keys. Considers for a moment.
Looks up at the lovely moon again and blows it a kiss.
Begins playing Moonlight Sonata:*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWck
*As she does three shadows appear up against a nearby wall, playing accompanying instruments.* (Who knew the shadowplay girls had musical ability? Handy!)
