A lot of people have been here for much longer than I have, so they're probably better suited to know about this... What happens when you meet someone who comes from a story in your world? Do you tell them about it, or should you just keep quiet? I'm wondering if I did the right or wrong thing with someone I know, and I'd love some advice.

((OOC: feel free to smash the 4th wall to bits with her, seeing as she's... well, yeah.))

I wouldn't suggest telling them unless they flat-out ask. And even then, you don't really know if they're just stories or if they were real and they became stories over time.

[her_mouse_jesty]

I never thought of that!

[In hindsight, maybe she should have, considering...]

So you think telling them would be rude?

[filter]

[waterproofed]

All I know is that some stuff in stories turns out to be real. [the whole Slenderman incident comes to mind]

[filter]

[her_mouse_jesty]

... Let's say I already told someone about it. In fact, she and the man she's supposed to fall in love with are both here. Am I supposed to stay out of it?

[she reeeeeally doesn't want to stay out of it.]

That one's a little harder. I've seen how keeping someone from knowing their fate makes really nasty stuff happen. Then again, there's free will and everything. People don't usually react well when you tell them their path's already set.

[not that he knows anything about that, innocent whistle]

... It sounds like a bad choice no matter what I do. My goodness, even when I'm not involved with a castle event, this place is still finding a way to upset me.

[waterproofed]

It does that.

[ filter]

[her_mouse_jesty]

It's very rude. But I do appreciate the advice. I really just want to help them out.

[Oh this guy has a lot of experience in that]

Well, the main thing really is to just...treat them as you would anyone else. Even if they are in a story of your world, that doesn't mean they are just like that story about them.

[ filter]

[waterproofed]

No problem. I think you can help them out without actually forcing them into the end of their story. Just kinda encourage them and stuff.

[Filter]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Oh, I'm treating them nicely! I just... well, she's supposed to fall in love with someone, and that someone is here too.

[ filter]

[her_mouse_jesty]

I can definitely do that! I really want her to be happy, and if their romance follows the story, it'll be absolutely romantic!

[Filter]

[save_the_souls]

Ah- I'm sure you are, Minnie- I didn't mean to imply--!

[a pause]

Well...you can't really force love. And sometimes it takes unexpected courses.

[Filter]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Oh, but I want her to be happy, and she has a happily ever after with him in the story!

[minnie, you just want to play matchmaker :| ]

[Filter]

[save_the_souls]

[Oh Minnie..]

I see...[he's a little amused]

Is she...with anyone currently? How does she feel about that someone?

[Filter]

[her_mouse_jesty]

She hasn't quite told me yet... but she knows the man is here. She must care for him on some level, or else she wouldn't have said he was here!

[... what is this logic.]

[ filter]

[waterproofed]

Um. Good for them. [he's a guy; he doesn't really get the romance thing]

[ filter]

[her_mouse_jesty]

It really is good for them! True love breaks his curse, and helps them live happily ever after.

[ filter]

[waterproofed]

That sounds kinda familiar... I think I saw a movie about that once.

[Filter]

[save_the_souls]

....Erm. I'm...not quite sure it works like that. [THIS IS NOT EARLY DISNEY MOVIES]

[ filter]

[her_mouse_jesty]

A movie?

[Filter]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Well, you wouldn't get it, it's this whole fairy tale thing...

[Filter]

[save_the_souls]

Huh? What do you mean?

[Filter]

[her_mouse_jesty]

It's where I know them both from, a fairy tale back home!

[Filter]

[save_the_souls]

H-Huh?

Oh- you mean with everyone acting strangely this week? You've run into some characters?
