NIGHT...

[boushi]

[Well that was a weird day, wasn't it! Really castle? Princess dresses? Ugh.

There's something even stranger about tonight though. Yet you can't seem to put your finger on it... what could it be?]

INTO A DEEP SLEEP...

[boushi]

[as mentioned in the ooc post this is for those of you who want a place to post your princess going to sleep and how it happens]

MERMAIDS

[boushi]

[maybe you were sleeping, or just resting on your new tails. Maybe you were with other mermaid'd residents and are making fun of each other. Either way it's night and your partner is not here at the moment or sound asleep.

And there's now a strange girl in your vicinity, safely above the water]

Listen up, soulless sea creatures.

[wilder]

[Zelos was in the pool still, trying to figure out HOW to sleep as a mermaid. When he hears that voice, he'll look up. On one hand, so not liking being called soulless and this is just eerie]

[Buuut he'll still smile at her]

Hello there, hunny! ♥

[boushi]

[her face is indifferent, as cold and serious as before. She speaks simply and to the point]

Don't call me hunny. [HUNNY JANAI!!]

I've come to make a deal with you.

[hard_talker]

[Mark had a Walkman perched on the edge of the tub, and a couple of towels wadded up behind his head. this was ... pretty much the best way he could figure to try and fall asleep, and it sucked.

aside from the fact that he had the most uncomfortable bed ever, the castle had decided to troll him by making this the only song he could listen to in his headphones. pretty? yes. OBNOXIOUS AS HELL in terms of context? definitely.

it doesn't make him any less annoyed at having his sleep attempts interrupted, though. starting, he sits bolt upright, towels and headphones both falling into the water]

What th-- Shit! ... Hey! What the fuck gives?!

[takethat]

[Phoenix has been stewing in Edgeworth's bathtub for hours now, miserable and bored with only a book he'd wished up to keep him company after Edgeworth went to bed. At the sound of this new voice, he looks up from said book and glares.]

I am not soulless.

[hulloeverything]

[These skirts were NOT making anything easy. He gave up on tinkering and is in the TARDIS kitchen making something to eat. Without even realizing he's doing it, he softly sings to himself as he picks up up a little of this and a little of that to make a nice meal for himself and River.

Twirling around, he snags something from the fruit bowl and takes a big bite without even looking at it. He chews once before retching and spitting the bite across the room]

Oh ICK. A pear?! [He looks at the offending fruit in his hand. Suddenly he starts to sway, vision tunneling as exhaustion starts to overcome him]

Oh no... [Opening his mouth to call for River, his knees give out and he falls to the floor fast asleep.]

[boushi]

Mermaids have no souls and you are a mermaid. Thus, you have no soul.

I have come here from the destination of fate to make a deal.

[wilder]

A deal?

[...]

What sort of deal we talking about here?

[boushi]

Watch yourself in my presence lowlife mermaid.

I have come from the destination of fate to make a deal with you.

[boushi]

A deal that could return you something precious, should you succeed at my task.

[wilder]

[...]

You mean my legs?

[hard_talker]

Why the hell should I watch myself if you're gonna stand there and talk to me like I'm a piece of shit? [he sneers, fishing the headphones up out of the tub and hanging them over the edge]

And I'm not soulless either. What the fuck. ... NORA, GET MY NINE-IRON, THERE'S A CRAZY BITCH IN THE BATHROOM.

[disciplines]

[It's been a long and embarrassing day. How dare you put Alleyne in more clothes than normal, castle. She'll have you defeated yet.

She's by her table, Galadriel having insisted on brushing her hair to help her keep distracted from all this. Alleyne's long, light golden locks shined in the bit of moonlight that crept in, making her feel oddly relaxed and sleepy.

She tried to stifle a yawn but found herself failing. Had all this been that exhausting?]

I'm sorry...I'm gonna sleep now. Help yourself to the bed.

[Before she could say goodnight, she finds herself yawning again and pressing her face against her arms on the tableside, snoring lightly already, eyes closed. Her two monkeys follow suit, not because they're princesses or anything, but because they're just lazy.

At least she looks pretty peaceful as she saws logs.]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[What the fuck, can't she get a decent night's sleep in this place anymore?!

Hearing his shouting, she throws the blankets off and leaps out of bed. Grabbing Mark's trusty Nine-Iron, she rushes for the bathroom.]

Jesus fucking Christ what is it with you and crazy bitches showing up in your room?!

[boushi]

Those are a part of the deal yes, but not the reward for completing my task.

You will also achieve something else if you succeed. I am a Witch who hails from the destination of fate. I have prolonged the lives of dying family members and other such feats. I could even return what this castle took from you, or what it took from others.

If you succeed anyway.

[boushi]

[she doesn't even so much as blink]

...so you never want your legs back then.

[wilder]

[he pauses at that. On one hand, it seems ridiculous and impossible, but on the other hand...if she really does have that sort of power...]

And if I fail?

[hard_talker]

[Mark shoots Nora a "is she fucking serious with this hat and the crazy bitch talk" look]

Yeah, like you can fix what the castle fucked up.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She quirks an eyebrow at him but hesitates with the golf club hovering over her shoulder, ready to swing at will]

Yeah. I thought losses were supposed to go away on their own, not be fixed by... whatever the fuck you are.

[boushi]

[is that a test

bitches that sounds like a test

she points and guess what Mark YOU JUST GOT YOUR LEGS BACK]

How's that for an answer?

If you don't hear me out then I'll just turn them back.

[hard_talker]

HOLY SHIT -- [he flails for the wet towel and covers himself up. not that it's anything Nora hasn't seen, but like hell he wants StrangeBitch seeing his junk.]

Okay. ... Okay, fine, sure, I believe you. ... [and then he remembers the conversation he had with Zelos earlier, about stories ... and it's like the water in the bathtub suddenly got twenty degrees colder. he shivers]

... What's the deal?

[eat_me_beat_me]

[The golf club clatters to the floor and Nora takes a step towards Mark one hand over her mouth. Did that just? Did she really just?

Oh fuck. Shit just got real. She looks back and forth between Mark and the crazy bitch. Somehow she doesn't think that anything she could possibly do right at that moment would make a lick of difference so she just keeps her mouth shut (for once) and stares.]

[inafadingcrown]

[Help herself to the bed, nothing. She's going to go back to her own room to sleep. But before she does, she'd just going to relocate Alleyne to the bed and tuck her in.

Goodnight, pseudo-granddaughter.]

[gunslinger]

[ What the... Okay he's not very shocked finding Himari all decked out in some weird outfit, under the circumstances. But her expression and words are VERY MEAN. ]

Himari?! Did you lose your memory or something? Because anything short of that and I'll have to pay you back for that comment.
