voicetesting; canon is Once Upon a Mattress

[justalittlewhile]

Lady Mundane,

It's not that I don't...appreciate this sudden attention, but it isn't exactly the best timing. Now that Prince Dauntless and Princess Winifred are to be married, Harry and I will have our own wedding to plan. Then our honeymoon, of course. And then there's the other small matter...

It would be best to let me return back home. You don't have any plans in mind for me after all. Besides, it doesn't seem likely that I'll see anyone from this kingdom here. I think I've waited long enough for my wedding day, don't you?

Most impatiently,
Lady Larken

Play canon, could not resist!

[verysoftshoes]

Planning another unexpected trip, my lady?

yes, excellent!

[justalittlewhile]

[She tilts her head curiously.]

Jester? Is that you?

[verysoftshoes]

Aye, my lady.

I do hope you're not trying to run away again.

[justalittlewhile]

You look...different.

But of course I'm not. If anything I'm trying to get back to the castle.

[verysoftshoes]

It's the hat.

So where are you, if not the castle?

[justalittlewhile]

Wherever this place is, I suppose. [She waves her hand around the vastness of dear_mun.]

[verysoftshoes]

Well, don't despair, Lady Larkin. It can be quite pleasant around here. Especially when you stumble upon an old friend to help you.

[justalittlewhile]

Have you been here very long?

[verysoftshoes]

Oh, a few months. Although, I've been in this one's head for many, many years.

[He tilts his head knowingly at the mun-person, grinning.]

Gave me a name and eveything.

[justalittlewhile]

Gave you a name? I had always assumed you had one already.

[verysoftshoes]

You would think. Most of us have them. It makes childhood less confusing. Otherwise, mothers would just shout, "Hey, you!" all the time.

[justalittlewhile]

I imagine it would give them awful headaches trying to sort one child from another!

[verysoftshoes]

Precisely. And according to this mun-thing, I had three siblings!

[justalittlewhile]

Three! And are they all jesters like you?

[verysoftshoes]

Oh, no, my lady.

Well, my sister is. But neither of my brothers.

[justalittlewhile]

And is she as good a jester as yourself?

[verysoftshoes]

Of course not! My brilliance can't be matched.

[justalittlewhile]

Oh, of course not. How silly of me.

[verysoftshoes]

No worries, my lady. I forgive you the error!

[justalittlewhile]

How gracious of you, Jester.

[verysoftshoes]

That's me!

[justalittlewhile]

So what do you know about this place? Is there any hope of getting back to the castle soon?

[verysoftshoes]

Hard to say. These muns are so unpredictable!

[justalittlewhile]

That's certainly true. I don't think I'll ever have mine figured out.

I saw your post and my vaguely-percolating Winifred headvoice burst to life; Have a Merida first?

[boghadair]

[Have a frowning red-haired teenager.]

Isn't there anything else in the world to talk about but weddings?

oh my goodness Winifred would be AMAZING. Merida is perfect too. <3

[justalittlewhile]

Of course there is, but you've been waiting for as long as I have to be married I think you'd want to talk about it too.

Will need to rewatch canon, then figure out icons - I already own a copy of it so I'm a step ahead!

[boghadair]

How long did your mam make you wait, then?

[She might just be a bit envious, Lady Larken.]

the user who made my icons had plenty from the entire movie

[justalittlewhile]

Oh, my mother wasn't the one to make me wait. There was a law. No one in the kingdom was allowed to wed until the prince found a bride.

Oh thank you! i didn't know if there were sharable ones!

[boghadair]

Ach, it must be terrible to be kept apart from the man you love.

...But I think it's just as terrible to be forced to be wed.

So your prince found his princess?

should be fine. :)

[justalittlewhile]

I agree. It is almost always better to marry for love, but sometimes it is unavoidable.

But I'm very certain that Prince Dauntless and Princess Winifred love each other very much.

Yay! I'll see what I can do after I rewatch canon

[boghadair]

It would be better to marry for anything but duty.

I wish I could make my mother understand that.

Hooray! :D

[justalittlewhile]

Your mother is pressuring you to marry?

Will be rewatching during the week - I may or may not have bought a soundtrack or two

[boghadair]

It's not just her! It's my dad and my kingdom as well!

Ahaha lovely. :)

[justalittlewhile]

That is an awful lot of pressure. Have they said why it is so important?

[boghadair]

[She recites this part from memory.]

A princess must marry, or the peace between the four kingdoms will crumble.
