MINGLING

[boushi]

THE PEA AS PAINFUL AS A PIN

[boushi]

THE CROWN AS GREEN AS A FROG

[boushi]

THE ROSE AS OLD AS TIME

[boushi]

The Princess

[themistress]

[Today, high in a room in the tallest tower, there's a forlorn sobbing echoing down the hall. Should you enter the room, you'll find one (1) scantily-clad princess, seated upon a stack of mattresses that reaches nearly to the ceiling. She holds her head in her hands and just cries and cries. She needs help!]

The Beast

[fishy_go_byebye]

[Del temper rode high, today, and she managed to loom a bit, hair wild and bright around her.

She just didn't like this, no not at all, because it was so very incorrect.]

Beauty

[thegirltwin]

[She wasn't the only who didn't like it. Nina, dressed in an elegant golden ball gown, hair done up expertly on top of her head, could likely be seen storming away from Del on her heel, an agitated expression on her face.]

The Frog Prince

[ofhope]

[ Any trying to get in and out of the castle in the evening best be careful not to step on the small green creature that's lurking around the top of the steps outside.

The poor frog wants inside for some reason! And if one looks closely, they might notice a tiny crown on his head. ]

[someoneto_carry]

[Zoe is currently sitting on a chair nearby wherever you are, sharpening her giant battleaxe she got with her princely costume as she waits for a mermaid to sense something else. She seems to be in lower spirits today, this is all going slowly and she always likes it more when there's more to fight. ]

[You totally want to approach her, yep]

[nothingtobelieve]

[Well, he's not intimidated by that in the least, although most sane people probably would be.]

Growing impatient?

[He certainly is. It's useless to have a broadsword if he's got nothing to cut with it.]

[luckyvalentine]

[oh jeez, she's so preoccupied that she almost steps on the thing before she even notices it's there... and she jumps back with a grossed-out little scream when she does. Sorry, you startled her, froggy]

Eeugh!

[foolreversed]

[GOD DAMNIT ADACHI'S FEET HURT LIKE A BITCH

AND GOD THIS NO TALKING THING IS FRUSTRATING AS ALL HELL.

he's taking a break right now sitting on the floor looking pretty down about things. As much as it hurts someone also realizes that he is running out of time. He still has no idea what this golden egg is... and getting his memories of Dojima back hangs on this.]

[foolreversed]

[hey watch it, there's a mermaid with sore feet right behind you, you know!

...Except now Adachi's startled too because EW FROG and also because OH GOD GOLDEN EGG SENSES TINGLING LIKE CRAZY ARGH]

[ofhope]

Ribbit!

How rude! You nearly stomped me flat! Ribbit! But perhaps you can be of assistance.

I AM SO SORRY HE LOOKED LIKE LEGATO IN THAT ICON

[someoneto_carry]

[She eyes this newcomer]

A little. You?

[endthem]

[well that commotion is certainly attention-grabbing. He watches the girl go storming by, and decides not to follow her.

No, his attention is staying on this little storm of frustration.

He... decides that it's probably a smart idea to approach cautiously]

...Are you alright?

[wilder]

[Zelos is behind the two, looking very unimpressed with his arms crossed]

[More talking animals. Wonderful]

[fishy_go_byebye]

[There's something bigger about her, more dangerous. Less waifish, if the clothes that almost fit, despite their tattered state, say anything.]

She won't stay!

The Princess for the Frog

[heloise]

[ There is a girl, maybe a princess, seated by the duck pond, bouncing a small yellow ball against her palms. It seems the idea is not to let it touch the ground, only--the ball bounces too high and plunks into the water. ]

[luckyvalentine]

[oh hey, it talks! she takes a surprised step back]

You shouldn't be right where people walk if you don't want to get stepped on!

[then glancing over her shoulder and-- oh great. she has an audience while talking to a frog.

Looking back down at it...]

...But what do you want?

[foolreversed]

[oh god the frog talked and it-

...it....

...OH GOD

ADACHI IS PRETTY SURE HE KNOWS THAT VOICE

but it couldn't be right!?

he crouches down to get a better look at the thing. Well that is a crown on his head.... BUT WHY DOES IT SOUND LIKE........]

[endthem]

[...yeah, taking careful note of all of that. goodness.]

That girl?

[fishy_go_byebye]

I don't want to disappear!

[And annoyed hand sweeps in the leaving girl's direction.]

[endthem]

[automatically following the gesture with a glance]

And of what importance could she be?

[fishy_go_byebye]

She's mine!

Or hers. She's hers not mine. I don't want to go, she doesn't understand how quickly toes melt away.
