[Accidental Video Post]

[As the video switches on and fades in from black, the sound of wingbeats and merry chirping can be heard, as though a multitude of birds of all varieties have all come together in one place. Shortly thereafter, the picture comes in to focus on Rosella, standing in the middle of one of the burned-out sections of the Library with a broom in her hands and a bluebird on her shoulder. She is wearing a neat, albeit slightly sooty, dress and a pair of sensible shoes, and her hair is braided and pinned up on her head with a few tendrils hanging loose, having obviously slipped free of their coils while she was working.

However, the strangest sight is the wildlife around her--birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and even the occasional deer, all with wide innocent eyes, and all dutifully aiding her in her attempt to clean up her area of the Library. The birds flutter around collecting bits of charred paper that have fallen on the ground, the squirrels dust and sweep with their tails, the chipmunks sort though the remains for anything that might be salvageable, and the deer trot around with collections of half-burned books and pieces of wood secured in their antlers, delivering them to other parts of the Library.

And every one of them is singing or contributing to the tune. Merrily.

The expression on Rosella's face clearly reveals just how ridiculous she finds all this commotion, but hey, she's not about to complain about the extra help in cleaning the Library. When she speaks, her voice sounds...not different, exactly, but perhaps slightly more melodious than usual.]


Oh, do be careful! That's quite a lot of books you're carrying around, you know--don't try to take too many at once! Really, there's no need to rush. I really do appreciate the help, but I haven't any balls to be late for, so there's no need to work so fast and risk hurting yourselves.

[The birds twitter and chirp at this, rustling their wings noisily.]

Yes, of course, you're all being wonderfully helpful, thank you.

[A pause, as she glances toward the camera.]

Oh, drat, how did that get on? I don't suppose one of you could...oh, thank you, I do apprecia--

[And with a flurry of fur near the camera, the video switches off.]


[OOC: Cinders + Rosella = Cinderosella? And a little bit of Snow White, too. She's afflicted with the Child Friendly curse today, which means all the standard features of a standard Disney Princess--helpful birdies, merry work tunes, and the apparent ability to remain pretty even after a long day of hard work.

IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN JUMPING IN--safari!cursed people who want to join the animal brigade, people wanting to play Fairy Godmother, princes who want to attempt a rescue, etc.--feel free! I will roll with anything. :D]

Quest 176

Oh, honestly, of all the ridiculous--really, as though the past few days hadn't been bad enough already, what with the plagues and the killing and that Adrastus coming back again, and then being scared half to death by a dragon flying overhead, of all things! No, now there's this, where it's just that everything seems to be going wrong today in the smallest, most mundane, most infuriating ways.

Bad enough that I barely got a wink of sleep last night and I'm all covered in bruises from whatever it was that was keeping me up. Bad enough that I've pricked my fingers on things so many times today that I look like I've been shaking hands with a cactus. Bad enough that I seem to be attracting birds and squirrels and other woodland creatures by the dozens, and they keep following me around everywhere I go, and I don't know how to get rid of them, and every time I open my mouth to try, I keep feeling the overwhelming urge to sing to them, instead.

But now, on top of it all, as though all of that wasn't exasperating enough already, now I've gone and gotten myself lost in the woods. Again. And every time I think I've found the way out and I try to walk somewhere, I just end up getting turned around and finding myself even deeper in it, and not a single one of those woodland creatures is any bit of help at getting me out of here.

And all I really want to do is sit down and rest my feet awhile, but I'm certain that the moment I do, some new trouble is going to come along, and I simply haven't the patience for any more of it right now. And I'm terribly thirsty, but I am absolutely not going near any ponds today because I am already sick to death of frogs and I am not about to risk dropping something as I try to get myself a drink and then end up indebted to some frog and have to kiss another one of them. I've already kissed plenty of them, and if I never kiss another frog, it'll be too soon.

Honestly, days like this make the thought of living out my days locked in a tower seem almost appealing. And I'm nineteen years old, anyway, which means I'm already long overdue to be married. Getting rescued from a tower would certainly remedy both of those problems at once, wouldn't it? Ugh. But at least I haven't been made to wear holes through all my shoes again. Yet.

Honestly.


[OOC: Boy, it's hard being a princess when life is like a children's book for the day. And while poor Rosella is reasonably genre-savvy about Things That Get Princesses Into Trouble in fairy tales, having read about eight million of them, that doesn't mean she can avoid everything. ...Which is why she's currently lost in the woods, and Not Happy about it. =D]
