welcome to goldvale . intro post #1


It begins with a flash of blinding light.

No matter what they’re doing, the light is so stunning that they pause to shield their eyes. Logically, it seems like such a bright light would hurt their eyes, and yet somehow, it’s not painful at all. It’s strange, but stranger still, a moment later, the ground underneath them is gone. They’re falling, and it feels like they’re falling for a long time as their eyes adjust after that light.

Yet, it’s not long at all—they’re only falling five feet or so. But as they, and others, appear in the air, there’s a shriek of alarm.

“Beryl—Go!!”

A man’s voice shouts after the scream, and as their eyes adjust, they’ll see two blurry figures, the woman running away while the man briefly stands his ground with a dagger raised before he takes advantage of the confusion to flee as well and cover her. You, and all of the other disoriented strangers, have been left alone. There might be a few bruises from the fall, but otherwise, there are no new injuries. It’s a strange lobby, but nothing about it seems helpful to reveal where you are. Following the two figures is fruitless too, since the door at the end of that hallway is sealed shut with magic—no one will be able to pass through.

So, just where are you?

[ well, well. he can't say he was expecting it to be this easy and maybe he shouldn't abuse that, but... curiosity wins out. how far can he go before she realizes? ]

I'm sure many feel the same way. In fact, I'd say the vast majority want nothing more than to go home.

[ he's pushing it, but the princess is so caught up in her own emotions that she doesn't notice yet. ]

Home... yes. [ she rests her arms on the handrail, distraught. ] At least Brother Kouen and Judar were around... but I cannot even talk to them about the war! I even told Brother that I would help him. Ooh, I'm so stupid! I wouldn't have said so if I knew this would happen.

[ pushing it is so fun! teehee!! but it'd probably be a bad idea to go too far, as interesting as this is, so... ]

For what it's worth, I can say I have faith in your abilities. [ stepping back just a little in case she gets mad-- ] And hopefully you can find your Ka Koubun soon.

[ hey, at least he gave her a handkerchief... at least... that's... something remotely positive... ]

[ She turns around, takes out her hairpin and points it at him threateningly! Only whoops, it doesn't turn into a sword like it usually does. Oh well. Still threatening! ]

How impudent you are! You're not Ka Koubun at all!

[ HAHAHAHA!! PICKING ON KIDS IS SO FUN!!! whoa, that's a fiery reaction, but it doesn't fail to amuse him. best to mask that, however, so hirato raises his hands in a defensive gesture. ]

In my defense... I never claimed to be. [ except you're still an asshole hirato!!!!!! ] However, I apologize for startling you. If it means anything at all, I simply wanted to steer your thoughts in a less grim direction.

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-09 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
They have been directed at another matter of concern, unfortunately. [ in other words GO AWAY HIRATO bye

She looks away once more. ]


You are from the castle as well. Am I correct? Or are you a local who wishes to poke fun at me?
tophat: ☆ ANIME (i'm gonna ride on their payrolls)

[personal profile] tophat 2013-05-09 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ at least she got a fancy handkerchief out of dealing with this shitlord ]

That's correct. And I assure you poking fun is the last thing I want to do right now. [ he could go on with meaningless apologies, but those are so rarely worth the effort. besides, she doesn't seem like the type who would enjoy those. ]

[ aw yeah free stuff ]

A-as it should! I have done nothing this past week but eat, train and sleep... [ And cry in front of lakes. ] If it is our goal to reach the top of that castle as soon as possible, we must give it our all. I cannot allow myself to be on the bottom rung for too long.

[ the one upside to this interaction ]

You've worked hard; I'd say it's just about time for a break. [ this is funny because he's a hypocritical workaholic. ] While I can admit I also want to reach the top as soon as possible, overworking will only have the opposite effect.

[ look at how much your well-being concerns him. ]

[ UM WOW LIKE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK HIRATO ]

Perhaps you are right... I do not want to delay my return to the palace...
peachbaths: (surprise 1)

WOW I THOUGHT I REPLIED TO THIS dreamwidth is so rude

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-14 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ speaking of palaces ]

Did you—happen to hear all of that? [ well obviously he did ] Please, please forget it!
tophat: ☆ ANIME (break on through)

[ IT'S OKAY WHEN HE DOES IT HE IS ~SPECIAL~

honey, you're almost making him feel bad for teasing you. and not because of the ~hint~ that you may just be royalty. ]


... Certainly.

[ must... not... laugh like a douchebag... ]

I'm very sorry, your highness. [ HAHA!!!!!! ] However, I can't help but feel as if kneeling right here would give your identity away...
peachbaths: (angry)

[personal profile] peachbaths 2013-05-18 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Don't kneel! Whatever you do, don't kneel! [ angry stomping dance ]

[ aww, poor little princess...

shush baby shush. he won't do that... but he has to wonder if there's anyone in this town who hasn't figured her out just yet. ]


Worry not. But I must ask you to forgive the levels of disrespect this kind of discretion forces me into.
