Testing the waters

[cursedtosleep]

I think we should hold off on the icon space for now, until we know what we're doing. It doesn't hurt to be patient.

I'm sure you'll know soon what the story is, Aurora.

[cursedtosleep]

Oh, I'm sure I will... except my writer and I will be going on hiatus soon.

[tradedvoice]

That's okay. Everyone needs a break sometimes, right? And I'm sure you'll be kept in the know about what's going on in terms of moving or not.

[cursedtosleep]

I'm... not overly fond of the state I'll be in when we go on hiatus.

[cursedtosleep]

Ariel! Ariel I have wonderful news! The game is moving to Dream Width! And there's an open meme for people to try out!

[tradedvoice]

What state would you be in....? Oh, so you know you are moving then? That's great!

[cursedtosleep]

A sleep-coma....

And yes, the game is deciding when we'll move.

[tradedvoice]

Oh....It wouldn't be for too long though?

[cursedtosleep]

Two weeks... but... any such amount of time... l-like that...

[tradedvoice]

I guess your writer has to have a reason for you to be not responding while she is away, but....still....

[cursedtosleep]

I just wish there was something... something different she would do.

[tradedvoice]

Isn't there something else?

[cursedtosleep]

A thing called "auto-pilot" but she doesn't want to put me in such a state for two weeks.

[tradedvoice]

Wouldn't that be better?

[cursedtosleep]

Not with the game moving in the process.

[tradedvoice]

I guess that's true, something that needs to be considered.

[cursedtosleep]

I just... phillip is going to be so worried.

[tradedvoice]

Well....it won't be forever? I know he will be worried, but it doesn't seem like there is much you can do. I'm sure he will just be glad when you are back.

[cursedtosleep]

I'm going to make the poor man go gray with the things I put him through.

[tradedvoice]

I'm sure it's not that bad.

[cursedtosleep]

He fought a dragon to get to me... and we had only met after a day. [Well, afternoon, actually. But juuust to give you a hint about her prince, Ariel.]

[tradedvoice]

A dragon? What's that? [Ariel isn't sure what one is, but if he had to fight something to get to Aurora and did so after only one day he must really care about her.]

[cursedtosleep]

Well, a dragon is a very large reptile that walks on all fours. Half the size of a castle or nearly so and is capable of breathing fire and flying. There isn't... really anything kind or gentle about them. They understand human speech but I think they have little concern for anyone's health save their own.

[tradedvoice]

It does sound dangerous. And he managed to get past it to your castle?

[cursedtosleep]

Oh yes, he did quite a few things to get to me. Phillip has been so very brave. He said he would give up the throne to be with me.
