canon is Rule of Rose

[happinessisajoke]

I'm surprised you followed through.

[She sure didn't look surprised.]

But, you shouldn't have. Why would you wish further cruelty on me, if you claim to have pity for my lot?

You're the same as everyone else. I never expected different.

[Kitty looks bored--at least until she shifts into a rather tall purple elf. As an elf, Ceremisse looks more disgruntled than anything else.]

That's what they say, right? "Oh but we love you, we want you to be happy!" [A snort.]

If she wanted me to be happy, she'd leave me on Azeroth. It has enough problems without crazy humans taking away its defenders!

But taking a youngling away? That really is cruel.

[happinessisajoke]

I suppose I haven't much choice. It's this, or be shot.

[As rue as she is to accept that as reality. She was watching while the app was written, and delusional ignorance is the worst thing to her.]

...she wants better for me, but "we have to have somewhere to build up from". I think she's lying.

[catdurid]

That isn't much of a choice. And being shot? What, did you run afoul of a cranky hunter or something? If you think you can run, I'll Moonfire them in the face--

[That probably won't help though, Cere, and you know it.]

I'm getting reminded that I'm less effective than I think I am. I don't think I like this wall-breaking that happens here...

At least she's pokey on my application. Though it seems like this is going to goad her into another round of writing on it.

[happinessisajoke]

...afoul of a deposed princess, more like. Willing to destroy her fantasies to ruin others'. [A pause.] ...politics like that bore me.

The more, the merrier, as the saying goes. It seems wrong to be pleased when you will just be stuck in the same predicament.

[catdurid]

Sounds a lot like some of the human kingdoms. But, deposed princess, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. And you're right. Politics is pretty boring.

[The elf stamps a foot.] That's just it, I can't just sit around some tower, I'm supposed to be doing things! That's what adventuring is all about!

[happinessisajoke]

I've never met anyone who wasn't a human before. [A pause.] I almost met a mermaid once, but that was just the others playing pretend.

...you may be able to have adventures there. Quite a few people have already. Many still have scars to show for it.

[beknightedheroine]

It just goes on and on and on and on. That's how things are.

[happinessisajoke]

Things have to change at some point.

I'm not expecting anything drastic, just anything at all. It could have been now, but. Oh well.

[beknightedheroine]

...wouldn't that be 'expecting different?' You're contradicting yourself.

[happinessisajoke]

...I want different, I suppose; however, I do not expect what I cannot control. The world cannot be stagnate forever, I would like to hope. That's fair, okay?

[beknightedheroine]

[okay, that cools off some of her the icey edge of her angst.

WITTY WATER JOKES]

..yeah.

Just keep wanting that, okay?

[happinessisajoke]

I'd like to, but it comes and goes. Some days I can try harder than others. That's normal, but...

[A sigh.] It's tiring.

[beknightedheroine]

It's normal. Um, what's the normal thing to say to that...

'Treasure the good days,' I think.
