Quest 162

[primrosella]

Drat it all, now this is just getting ridiculous.

Really, I understand that there's a curse today and we can't help the actions we take when we're cursed, but must we all be so violent about things? Honestly, I can understand that being rated by someone else isn't exactly the nicest feeling in the world, but that's no reason to go around threatening to hit them! And particularly not like--oh, what was it? "The fist of an angry god"? Goodness, it's just terrible. What could anyone possibly do to deserve that?

Or that other one. I don't even know what I did to warrant it, but earlier today someone walked up to me all of a sudden and threatened to hit me so hard that it'd take the next King of England to pull him off me again! Really, of all the terrible things... It's horrible! And makes me even more convinced about taking steps to prevent things like this--

Honestly, it'll be over at midnight, and I'm sure we'll all be thankful for that when it comes. But can't we all just try to get along until then without losing our tempers?


[OOC: Yes. Yes I did. And yes, she is a bit cursed today, though she hasn't quite realized it yet. Feel free to rate her if you want, and she'll rate people who reply in one way or another, depending on what fits best. Or just, y'know, break her brain trying to explain "I'd hit it". =D]

Yep, that would be bias-making. It's a good day, though!

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It is! I'm very content with it. I can't imagine a day that would suit me better, honestly.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

You're alright. It's a fair bet I'll have heard worse.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It's not that I'm worried it'll be worse, just that it'll be embarrassing. Or silly. But it's not as though I've gone around saying I wanted to hit anyone, or anything like that.

Mostly it's just things like saying you're wonderful. And that I'm glad to have had the chance to meet you. And that you're one of the few people here that never fails to make me feel safe, when you're around.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I'm really not--

Making someone feel safe is a good thing in my book. I'm glad. And I'm glad to get to know you, too. I don't know any princesses back home, just girls who act like them.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh? Now I'm imagining your patients coming to you with all manner of princessly worries, like the one who finds herself covered in bruises every time she sleeps on something rougher than a pea, or the one who fell asleep on her sixteenth birthday and hasn't been awake at all since.

[princess-crow.livejournal.com]

I am? I have always envied your fair-hair, it's more proper of a Princess.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I think that rather depends on the princess, really. My mother has dark hair like yours, and I'm sure she's as proper a princess as they come. Or was, anyway, before she married Daddy and became a proper queen, instead.

[princess-crow.livejournal.com]

Mytho and I will be always be a Prince and a Princess, even if we're married and rule a kingdom. It's how we are.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

But that's only right, isn't it? Since that's how it should be.

[princess-crow.livejournal.com]

I think so. Princes and Princesses remain such happily ever after.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

It's enough to make one wish that everyone were a prince or a princess, really.

[princess-crow.livejournal.com]

Is that what you would wish?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...No. I think I'd just wish that everyone could come home with me to Daventry. Then we'd all live happily ever after, regardless of whether we were princes and princesses or not.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I've... had weirder cases. The princesses I'm talking about weren't raised so well.

[princess-crow.livejournal.com]

I wish I could take all my friends to my kingdom too.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

But they're not the sort that have been locked in towers all their lives, I hope?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I'd like very much to see it someday, if I could.
