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

[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]

[He doesn't speak again, choosing to leave it at that. And within moments they're finally in the plaza! So he guides her to the clothing shop, holding the door for her and glancing around.]

Your clothes should be here, or you can take whatever you want.

[ with a nod, she steps inside, looking around at anything familiar. in this situation she'll settle for some pants, a blouse and any sort of boots to be had. it's not for luxury, so she doesn't linger in one spot too long. ]

It's alright to just take things like this?

No one's been arrested for it before. [He lifts his shoulders in a dismissive shrug, perusing the racks and shelves for Natalia's usual outfit, or anything that looks vaguely familiar.] Everything is provided for us here- clothes, food, shelter, power. In many ways it's convenient.

[Not that it balances out the cons, but at least they're not in cages living on bread and water.]

Well! That's the least they can do, I suppose. In that case I won't feel any guilt! [ with a slight puff of her cheeks, Natalia proceeds to take a few more things, like a dress, a scarf, and ooh are those headbands.

she walks towards him with a sniff. ]

I'm done.

[Well, that's much better. Asch nods slightly, then retrieves his own jacket and gloves before heading once again for the door. Although- where is he supposed to...

....]

...I'll take you to Tear. They'll have room for you.

[Still not ready to explain the replica situation, nope.]

Tear? I see..[ Rooming with Asch would have been interesting..perhaps it's better to stick to normalcy, right? She can gather information more easily from her friend with no worry of any awkwardness. ]

[Aaaand they're on their way again. He's still not sure what to say to her, so for the moment he lets silence fill the void; truth be told he's hoping that the others can explain things properly and give Natalia time to settle in, maybe even get used to certain people being alive who were dead before. Maybe that'll help.

He doubts it, but... maybe. Why is it always so damned difficult to just talk to people?]

[ she notes the silence, and her lips purse, it's strange. she's dreamed of just simply seeing him one more time and yet now, she has nothing to say. no, that's not it..she just doesn't know how to say it.

this will take time..and like most of her experiences have truly taught her, it won't be without pain..]

[Welcome to his world, Natalia. And once they approach the house he stops, glancing back over at her, then away again. It's difficult to look at her when she's still so startled by him even being alive, especially when it's a notion he'd gotten over a long time ago. He has a feeling that whatever is between the two of them now, it's going to take some serious deciphering. And that's not a job he's looking forward to, so now that they've arrived, he's going to start searching for an escape.]

This is the place. They can take care of the rest, so...

..I understand. [ for now just seeing him alive is enough. if she gets more than that---she might lose the mask she has on right now. she smiles up at him, small, tentative. ]

Thank you for helping me get here, Asch..

...Mm. [Asch nods, suddenly all business, and meets her eyes for just a few seconds before he turns away, starting to head off down the path.] You can contact me with the journal if you need anything.

[ she nods, unsure of what else to say. her throat is stuck, and she doesn't realize her hand is shaking again. she turns her shoulders, closes her eyes, and takes a hitched, shaky breath, before she knocks on the door. ]
