...loudmouth princess is a go?

[fortherelic]

HEY YOU!

Yeah, you! You just started up the game again! Without a memory card! What do you mean, you're not sure if memory cards have regions? But you started with the amazing and beautiful me, so obviously you're going in the right direction~ You know what this means~?

...
...
...

...It means you should find me some new information on a [relic]! I can't just sit around in your head collecting cobwebs, yanno~ I'm a princess! And I will be queen OF THE ENTIRE WORLD! So let's get going!

Comments

[voice_seeker]

Oh, hey....didn't I meet you before on LJ? Played my flute for you?

(That was before I knew you wanted world domination, of course....)

[not_a_polly]

Mint...you're still trying to rule the world from here?

[He couldn't help but smile at her. This was definitely what he'd expect from Mint.]

Yes, that is the appropriate face to make at her.

[fortherelic]

Yep~

[Hey! Hey, she'd be good at it! So long as Maya sticks to her part of things!! It's just expanding the kingdom and it just happens to mean world domination by pr--okay, no, the whole plan's engineered for it. Girl's gotta have dreams!]

[fortherelic]

Rue!

And of course! This place has so many worlds connected to it, that I think... I might just go for the WHOLE UNIVERSE!

[And cue her almost iconic laughter. She dropped out of it with a faint jerk--oh right! Dramatic point!]

Especially since there's probably a [relic] even greater than Valen's out there! Just think about it!

[not_a_polly]

Good to see you're the same as ever Mint.

[He actually missed you despite your craziness.]

My mun is thinking of bringing Rod here too.

[fortherelic]

Of course!

[And he damn well better! Not that she expected anything less.]

Better be prepared to have him put 'um up, then! My mun...

[Criiiiiinge.]

...is thinking about doing something with that dumb Doll Master. I don't know why, since there's only room for one of us in here, and it's definitely not gonna be him who takes it all!

[not_a_polly]

From before or after our adventure was over?

[fortherelic]

WHO CARES!?

[He helped ruin her life, there are no cares to ever be given.]

[voice_seeker]

Well...glad to see you're doing well.

[What a weird girl! Max decides to start sniffing her over curiously.]

[not_a_polly]

Because even with everything he did wrong he helped save me and Claire and died doing it.

[fortherelic]

So that's how that happened...

[For one, brief instant, Mint does something unusual: she thinks.]

But even doing one thing for you, he did a lot of terrible stuff to everyone. One good deed doesn't erase a life lived for evil.

[not_a_polly]

No but he was misguided. He believed he should live only for Valen because Valen created him. That it was his duty.

So he was only an extension of Valen in this case. He can learn to be a good person.

And if that's true and he acts like my brother, well he could always help you look for a [relic].

[fortherelic]

Gimme a little time and I'll do even better!

[And we interrupt your regularly scheduled Mint-brand cockiness for some confusion because wow, this dog is kind of huge. Not sure how she feels about this!]

Uh...

[fortherelic]

(Except there's the problem where Doll Master doesn't like me in general so how does any of this actually help me?)

[She circles him.]

And? He still consciously did what he did. They were all his decisions, not Valen's. He has to deal with that first. He manipulated Maya, used her as a bargaining chip! She's a snotty little brat, but even she didn't deserve that kind of treatment! He deceived my family for a long time, too. Not to mention he kidnapped and probably traumatized Prima.

[Might be a little strong, but totally going to make her point. She sags backwards, shaking her head before whirling around to point.]

Doing what you think is right doesn't change what it is you do.

[not_a_polly]

It doesn't but he can repent for what he did.

I mean you and Maya made up, right? It wasn't as serious as what he did but he can repay you all for what he did.

[voice_seeker]

[Max gives a sudden bark and then jumps on Mint, licking her face happily.]

[fortherelic]

Maya and I are sisters, so it's completely different!

But...

...
...
...
...
...
...
...

Okay, maybe he can. Just don't expect it to work.

[She certainly doesn't.]

[not_a_polly]

If he's really from after he helped us I think he'll be nicer to you.

[fortherelic]

[OOF! She's knocked to the floor with that, more out of not expecting it than anything else. She flails a bit, trying to wiggle her way out from under Max's weight.]

Watch it!

[fortherelic]

I doubt it.

[not_a_polly]

Well if nothing else he owes you as much as anyone.

[Sorry Doll Master but Rue was going to be a little vindictive to appease Mint.]

As one of the two princesses of a kingdom he was fooling he does owe you more than most people. He has to do something to make it up to you and your sister.

Oh my goodness, I'd never thought I'd see the day people RPing from this game at all! *w*

[yukiotoko]

A princess? You... you definitely break the stereotype of what a princess would appear before the common folk... I suppose it would be appropriate to address you as 'my lady' then.

Well, my mun is definitely surprised and impressed to see you are out and about even though we hardly know each other at all.

... well, I suppose it is also fair for me to say 'good luck' with your goals, although I'm afraid it would be very difficult to obtain on your own.

[fortherelic]

[He's just in the brain!wings in the Corner of Woe. Kind of. Or he would be if he was that kind of person. Which he isn't. Oh Ruecian, oh you.]

He definitely does! He owes me two years, at least!!

[...Two years of what is yet to be determined, but she'll figure something out eventually.]

[not_a_polly]

Well wouldn't two years of helping you look for a [relic] be good? It is exactly what he caused you to have to do. What will be more tricky is what he'll have to do to repay Maya since he betrayed her trust more than anything.

ilovethisgamesomuchman

[fortherelic]

(...Huh?)

Oh, well, you can call me "beautiful majesty" or "magnificent highness" or anything like that. More simply: Princess Mint will suffice.

I'm a sight to behold, so I'm not at all surprised by your mun's reaction. Please, don't let my amazing self overwhelm you~

I don't really need luck, but thanks anyway. My will and magic'll get me there just fine!

[fortherelic]

Maya was dumb for trusting that weirdo, anyway. I always knew there was something off with him. Hmph. There's also our old man to consider.

should replay this game again some time. thank you for reminding me it exists :'D

[yukiotoko]

Princess Mint... very well, I'll do my best to remember that. Still, as I said, you do break the stereotype. Normally I would expect a princess, or any kind of royalty for that matter dressed more... extravagantly? At least that is the romanticized image given to me.

[Ha. Ha ha ha. Hoooo boy, pretty self-assured this one is. He'll just keep on nodding his head and letting her ego get stroked. Feels like a nasty mess will happen if he doesn't.]

Of course. If you are strong with the arcane arts, then I am sure you will have an edge of an advantage. Although I couldn't help but notice you were looking for something called a [relic]? Is there a particular kind you're looking for? I can't imagine they would be easy to find unless magically or alchemicly engineered.

loudmouth princesses are a go!

[nopumpkins]

Time to think a little bigger than just the world. I mean, look at this place. We got the world, and then some.

yesssss o/

[fortherelic]

It's got a whole set of universes connected to it! Oooh, think of it...!

...Hey! Wait a second... You're me! You're not Mode Master, are you?

gogogogo 8D

[fortherelic]

You'd better! And why dress extravagantly when I'm [relic] hunting? It'd just get in the way and be a pain in the butt to fix! It's easier to travel like this. When I'm on my throne at the top of everything, then I'll dress to my liking. It's not like it hinders my beauty any to dress for travel~

[Man, that is just the tip of the iceberg. It'll be more than a mess, too! Because she'll just... keep going after proving him wrong.]

My magic is the greatest around. But a [relic] is a great magical item left behind by the Aeons--incredibly powerful magicians from ages ago. They're really hard to find, but I've already found one that was supposedly the most powerful there is. I'm sure there's stronger, since we were able to destroy it.

[...just let her mope internally for a second at this.]

But no matter what, they can't keep me from finding them!

[voice_seeker]

[Max continues licking at Mint until Eric goes over and pulls him off.]

I was about to warn you about that....sorry. Are you all right?

[Eric offers a hand to help her up.]

[kingunmaker]

[Did someone say "morally ambivalent/dubious royalty"? Because I distinctively think I heard someone say just that.]

My, such praiseworthy ambition~.

[fortherelic]

[She makes a face and maybe she's a little melodramatic as she rights herself; the hand's appreciated, but she gets up on her own with a hop. Warrior princess, man. She sort of peers down at Max, wiping her face with a sleeve. Now she's gonna smell like dog. Ugh. And back to Eric after a second. She gestures a dismissal to the question.]

I've dealt with way worse than eager animals.

[Like giant cats that use yellow magic all over the place.]

[voice_seeker]

You...said you were a princess, right? That's a coincidence, seeing as I'm a prince. How's your kingdom like?

[fortherelic]

[Was it shouted from the top of the nearest mountain? Because in that case, you definitely did.

And oh, hey, she likes praise. Posturing, there's a flick of red hair and a grin on her lips.]

Why, thank you~ It's nice to see that some people can appreciate this sort of thing. ♪

[fortherelic]

Yep! I am Princess Mint of the kingdom of East Heaven~ ♪ Mine is an amazing and beautiful kingdom of magicians, though my magic is the strongest.

[voice_seeker]

My kingdom's a small seaside one...doesn't sound quite as exciting as your's, huh?

[fortherelic]

That's okay. It'll be even better once--

[Gotta word this carefully...]

--we establish a beneficial arrangement between it and East Heaven~

[voice_seeker]

........Right. If we ever get that chance, anyway.

[Eric is completely unsure whether or not to find Mint endearing or disturbing.]

[fortherelic]

[...When it becomes more apparent that she's an ambitious kid with big dreams and that, when push comes to shove, her heart's (mostly) in the right place, she'll probably come off as endearing if eccentric.

But it's okay, Eric; most people have that problem.]

I'll see to it! I just need to find a powerful [relic]~♪

[voice_seeker]

Have your Mun been able to find you a game where you can get these ''relics''?

[fortherelic]

No.

[Huffpout, doesn't see why! In fact, stomps her foot in frustration over this whole thing.]

Not even looking! Which they should be!

[voice_seeker]

[Max whimpers a little at Mint's outburst, then starts licking her hand to make her feel better. With some hesitation, Eric replies.]

Well you could always try Nautilus, so long as you don't act like you run the place. Believe me, that doesn't sit too well with the people there.

[kingunmaker]

But of course. What separates royalty without ambition from a mere peasant? Land, money, soldiers... resources are for the crafty to make use of- not for the idle to waste.

[In this thread- the very safest if reassuring smiles.

Isn't it reassuring? Boy howdy I bet it's superreassuring.]
