DAY 1

[boushi]

[It's a beautiful morning in Paradisa, seemingly just like any other. However... some residents may be waking up to notice... some oddities.

For starters this may not be the bed you woke up in! And this person, while likely recognizable to you, might not have been who you went to bed with last night! And some of you, well... you're not in a bed or even a room at all. In fact, you wake up next to a source of water... or in the water.

After that it likely won't take you long to realize what you're wearing. Some of you have some more uh... noticeable physical changes as well.

Don't bother trying to change clothes, ladies and gentlemen. Or should I say... Princes and Princesses?]

(ooc: this is a catch all post for pairs waking up together on the first day. ooc post is here!)

How considerate of it to dress you for the occasion.

[ha... and something catches his eye on the dresser]

And, I think that's yours. [...nodding toward what just might be a tiara]

[exanimatus]

[he leans over to look, brushing his unreasonably beautiful dark hair away from his perfect face with godlike grace, etc.]

Is that...

[endthem]

[hope you're ready to top off that painful amount of beauty with a tiara.

...because that's what Legato is bringing you.]

It suits you, don't you think?

[exanimatus]

[he takes it and... looks it over with a dry, bored sort of expression.]

Yes. It really brings out my eyes.

[and after a moment he reaches a visible conclusion of "well, it's not like this is the worst thing I can imagine happening", he turns it around and puts it on his head. and it really does bring out the red in his face.

if he had any red in his face, anyway. skin white as snow and all that.

and then he goes back to reclining.]

[endthem]

Lovely.

[not many things entertain him this thoroughly. Maybe he just needs to get out more, but he is positively delighted by this. ...In fact, he is specifically taking a moment to save this image in his mind forever.]

It's a shame that you have such a limited audience. I shouldn't be the only one lucky enough to be treated to this sight.

[exanimatus]

That's dangerous. Weaker minds might be blinded by my beauty.

[he kicks his feet around a little so that he can see his sparkly shoes... but he gets this look on his face like he's starting to think it's funny too. actually, the dress is kind of comfy.]

So. How have they been treating you, hm?

[endthem]

I've been put on a shelf where they can ignore me.

[those shoes... what a perfect finishing touch]

But a shelf is better than a box.

[exanimatus]

Room to walk around... Rin has always been a bleeding heart, I can't imagine her being too harsh about it.

[goodness. yes, getting too comfortable with this.]

[endthem]

It doesn't bleed with compassion, but it is something just as useful.

[...yep it really does work too well with him. man.]

I even had my coat returned to me.

[exanimatus]

I like that coat.

[endthem]

It needs a few repairs.

[namely the big bullet hole in the chest, and massive bloodstains]

[exanimatus]

You can take up sewing. God knows you'll have the time.

[...unless he already knows, which would somehow not surprise him.]

[endthem]

I doubt it will keep me occupied for very long.

[yeah, no, he already knows. :\]

[exanimatus]

Of course. [oooof course.]

Though, speaking of--let me know if you find a particular reason we're in here. Waiting around is going to get boring. [especially if he can't... move... without falling over.]

[endthem]

[eh, he's feeling charitable now that he's got his chuckles in, so he'll at least go check the door now.]

Your outfit might be our only clue.

[and his hair. can't forget the hair.]

[exanimatus]

All right, puzzle time.

[he stretches his arms out towards the walls.]

What am I, then? Besides gorgeous.

[endthem]

[ugh, why is this funny? his standards for what is entertaining really have dropped]

A fair maiden of noble birth, by the look of it.

[exanimatus]

Ah, which would make you... [he thinks on this for a moment.] Not a nobleman, not quite. Too simple for that. But I would argue... a prince.

[endthem]

A prince? [yep. only getting funnier.] This place really does have a sense of humor, doesn't it?

[exanimatus]

A bad one, as we've established. [he searches this girly pocket in his dress on the off-chance that there might be cigarettes in there or something.] I'll feel gypped until I get my own castle, though.
