♛First Decree: Video {not in kimlasca anymore..}

[meritocracy]

[Hello Luceti! You might hear some frustrated murmurs of a girl who may or may not sound familiar before the screen opens up. Behind her are trees. You might notice that first—OR! The first thing you might notice is the bright gold/white wings on her back, or maybe it’s the twig she failed to find out of her curly golden hair, or maybe it’s the fact that her cat-green eyes look absolutely furious. She pauses, before she begins to speak, posture ramrod straight, lips pursed.]

I find myself in need of assistance, if you please. While I am not familiar with this sort of fontech, I know enough. To those that have successfully taken me away from my kingdom, listen very carefully.

[her lip curls slightly, a bit of that anger in her eyes slowly spreading to her otherwise regal tone of voice ]

I demand to know where I am, immediately. To those of you who are not involved in this ..this indecency [her cheeks color. This is wrong on so many levels. ] I request all the information you can offer me. [she raises her hand to try and reach back and touch what she knows is clearly a hurt back, but her shoulder lances with pain. What did her captors do to her? Dropping it at her side, she looks back at the screen, raising her chin. ]

You will be rewarded, I can promise you that. As for those of you who had the audacity to pull off this joke, take heed: [her voice rises]

How dare you carry out such a despicable act!. Anyone who considers taking away Kimlasca-Lanvaldear’s Princess in broad daylight without her consent is considered from this point an enemy of both herself and His Majesty, King Ingobert the Sixth. You have taken me from my Castle and my people, and I cannot forgive such injustice.

Once I return to my Father’s side, and I will return, you will be found, you will be judged, and you will be punished according to your actions.

[with one more scathing glare, the Princess shuts off the feed]

No, for the most part I can. But I am not just myself, I am an extension of my country, so to speak. I don't just belong to me alone.

[all7seas]

That's................horrible. I think, darling, that you're overthinking it.

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

You think so? As a commoner placed in this position, I have a duty to represent all the people of Kimlasca equally. I stem great happiness from that fact.

[ she does get lonely, though. ]

[all7seas]

Here? You don't have that duty any longer. Relish it for as long as it lasts. Find other happinesses.

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

It is a bit strange, but until I reunite with them again, I'll carry them with me. I'm curious as to how to find happiness in this situation, but I've always enjoyed challenges--however!

Just because I'm not in my kingdom doesn't mean I can just slack off. [ she huffs a bit, about to say more until her stomach growls. ]

..Oh my.

[all7seas]

Sometimes the happiness finds you, here. Bah. [This is not a pirate-y topic! Jack shrugs his shoulders, uncomfortable, and when her stomach goes off he feels somewhat guilty. Long stories make people hungry.]

I could go to the bakery for you. Or bring you there, I suppose. Or Seventh Heaven? Choice is yours.

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

My, how eloquent of you to say Captain! [ SHE LOOKS REALLY SURPRISED!!! ]

If you lead me there, I can go myself. I have to thank you for escorting me this far, even if I was skeptical.

[all7seas]

Then let us go. Not far. I want some sort of pie, anyhow. And I won't be sharing it with anyone!

[That had to be worth at least 3 pirate points.]

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

Oh my! A whole pie? How ambitious!

[all7seas]

Haven't eaten yet today myself. Come on, come on--it's just over this way. [He is decidedly grumpy again, now. No rubies. No gold. Some princess thinking he is "decent." Bugger.] Might be you'll want other clothing, too, I dunno.

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

I should hope so! My feet are quite sore! And this slip is very inappropriate for me to be wearing, no form whatsoever... [ pads along, thinking you are the nicest pirate ever. ]

[all7seas]

Sore? [No shoes, of course. Jack slows down and offers her his arm again. Please, please don't tell him he is the nicest pirate ever.]

There'll be clothing in the shop. Your own might be there---typically it is. Or you could pick out something new and un-princess-y.

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

You mean they sold off my clothing?! [ she takes the arm with a grumble, looking horrified ]

This is entirely unpleasant!

[all7seas]

Not sold. I don't bloody well know WHY they do it, but apparently the powers that be think it a lark to undress us when we arrive and put fantastical white clothing on our bodies. Our own clothing simply turns up elsewhere.

Don't ask me, lass---I'm just a pirate, here. I don't know the rhyme or reason of it.

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

Hmph..[ she just pouts..and sulks a little bit, before she sighs]

I suppose there's no point getting upset over it. This place makes no sense and I doubt it will any time soon. I should hope no one I know is here..

[all7seas]

The only man here from my world tried to hang me. [Said as though this is going to help her out in that regard.] You think they'll come after you, here? Your enemies? Not something to worry much about.

For one thing, if you die here, you come back in a week. Not so bad, eh? For another, there's lots of heroes who would protect you from that sort of thing. Batman and such.

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

For 'depravities'? Honestly, Captain, you really should be less reckless in that regard! Making enemies never benefits, you realize! [ HUFFPUFF.



pause. wow her face kind of falls]

Well..that's --reassuring.

[all7seas]

You ARE worried about this?! [He makes plenty of enemies; the rest he just owes money to.] And let me alone; I'll be as depraved as I like and no one can tell me differently.

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

You are very much depraved then, Captain. Escorting me to the bakery. I'm quite terrified!

[all7seas]

I've gone very wrong somewhere along the way. Not sure WHERE. But. Somewhere, I've buggered it. [Jack draws his fingers down his face and pinches the bridge of his nose before continuing in his escorting mission.]


Don't tell anyone about this, savvy?

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

I think pirates with decency are the best kind. Your secret is safe with me. [ and she even laughs a little. she cheered up now!! ]

[all7seas]

NO. Not dece--Tell them I've threatened you fiercely. [Another rock on the path earns a vicious kick.] Threatened you fiercely and you were terrified. Anything.

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

But I fear very little! [ she looks at him confusedly. ]

Ah, but---well, I suppose I was..so terrified I couldn't speak for hours! How does that sound?

[all7seas]

[So. Much. Sulking.] Good. Fine. That. Go with that.

[mykimlasca.livejournal.com]

Oh, are you pouting now? Captain, you're a pirate shouldn't you be going, 'ARR' or perhaps [ she's going to make a mean looking face ]

Like that!
