It was another meeting: they had one quite frequently - Firebrand was still missing though. Everyone but Illumina was present and Darkheart was making jokes that they had died as the meeting went on. Windforce was leading this meeting as different people led the meetings each week. Meetings usually devolved from what was almost an organised conference into chaos within minutes; it was already starting to turn into chaos.
"What would happen if Windforce jumped on this table‽" Darkheart spoke jokingly and Windforce's hands clenched into fists.
"That was rather... Insensitive, Darkheart." Ghostwalker's voice rang out, earning an exaggerated gasp from the deity of chaos. Darkheart huffed - he was really just a small child who didn't get enough sleep.
Venomshank just stared at his hands from his place next to Icedagger; he was clearly wanting to go back to his house. Being in a daze for a while, Icedagger did not know what was going on and looked terribly confused.
"What's happening?" The smallest deity queried the others - confusion masking his features.
"A normal meeting.~" Darkheart's voice sounded once more; it was obvious what he told Icedagger was a lie.
Footsteps sounded down the hall and the door revealed someone. There stood Illumina - but something was different about them.
"ILLUMINA, WHAT THE FUCK‽" Windforce called out, her voice sounding more like a shout. Lo and behold, Illumina was stood there in a maid dress. Their skin flushed lavender as they realised what they were wearing. The dress had ribbons tied into bows and white frills that made it look expensive - it's skirt barely covered them. Darkheart burst out cackling; it was obvious he had something to do with it.
"Lulu - did you just have a night out with someone? You're looking quite divine.~" Darkheart stated in between breathless cackling.
Finally, they realised who obviously did this.
Illumina growled, "You. YOU FORCED ME INTO A MAID DRESS WHILE I WAS SLEEPING DARKHEART!" Illumina looked like a kitten shouted at. Their embarrassment and defensiveness was visible to all their siblings. All of them started laughing: it was an amusing sight - they had to admit it.
Illumina scowled, staring at Darkheart. They pounced towards Darkheart, barrelling into him. Finally, the chaos deity's smirk faltered as he got pushed to the ground. Maid dress hardly fitting, Illumina summoned their gear and got off of Darkheart, challenging him to a phight.
"Oh it's on Lulu!" Darkheart smirked at Illumina - like a snake finding its prey. Windforce started recording to show Ban Hammer - they knew this would be good.
Darkheart vaulted forwards and slashed at Illumina but they threw themself to the side. Illumina dove forward and sliced Darkheart's arm. Venomshank and Icedagger were watching. None of them knew how the meeting got to this point. Going for the chest - Darkheart hit Illumina: they had no time to dodge due to their dress restricting their movement. He carved a deep slice in their chest and Illumina fell to the ground. Crimson spread across the garment as their vision tunneled and finally faded.
Two days later is when they woke - back in their temple. A note on their nightstand caught their attention. Sorry Lulu! I gifted you more dresses to wear. Illumina couldn't help but cringe at how false the letter was. The chest wound still seeped blood at movement. Some of it got into their long white hair which they combed thoroughly a few days before and some of it got into their feathers.
Oh how hungry and thirsty they felt. A bath, food and drink was what they ought to have. Lifting themself out of bed took effort as their limbs were weak from not using them for days.
