On taking this lass to a game soon!

[mendsthebond]

Ooh, no y'don't!

Jus' who d'ya think y'are anyway!? The las' thing I want to be told is I'll be shipped off to some "game"! In case y'didn't notice, my life is not somethin' y'can just play around with! S'not that much diff'rent than tellin' me I'm bein' forced to get married!

[But Merida, you know if you go to a game, no one can make you get married, right?]

... Well, that... that might actually be alrigh' but--Why're y'so bent on this anyway?

[:3 you're just so much fun!]

[She throws her arms up in frustration.] This better be worth it. [/grumpgrump.]

[Jack is very amused by this post.]

Keep up the charm, princess, the frost giants are going to love you.

YAAAY more Disney!

[cursedtosleep]

I'm sure your writer does not intend to force you into anything.

[mendsthebond]

[She does not know whether to address the whole being called "princess" or frost giants. So excuse her while she ruffles her crazy ass hair.]

Fros' giants? [QUIET JACK, MUN HASN'T TOLD HER THAT PART YET.] What's 'at about fros' giants?

8DD

[mendsthebond]

Tha's sure what it looks like. [She crosses her arms. Huffy teenager is go!]

Are y'there or somethin'?

[2cool4guardian]

[Merida doesn't know? Oops. ...guess it'll make things more fun then!]

They're giants made of frost. [He uses a very "duh" tone.] You know, the ones you'll be supposed to be fighting?

[mendsthebond]

[It's hard enough to get her to agree in the first place. Throw in Frost Giants. Why not.]

[Now she's just staring.] Oh, tha's just great. Sounds like a great time.

Can I at least have m'bow?

[2cool4guardian]

The time of your life, I promise. [What is sarcasm? Jack just grins at her while she stares. Perfectly innocent.]

Sure. And you can ask for more bows if you pray. Be a nice girl and maybe you recover your horse later. Can't promise he won't show up with a few extra legs though. [Now he's totally messing with her on purpose.]

[mendsthebond]

[Way to be a troll Jack.]

[Her eyes widen with the idea of Angus with extra legs.] WHAT?

[D: NOT HER HORSE.]

[2cool4guardian]

[Thank you, thank you, he's here all week.]

Legs. L-E-G-S. Know what those are? I believe you have two of them.

[mendsthebond]

I know what legs are! I jus'--UGH!

[Now she's pacing around--good thing she doesn't have a sword on her right now or she'd be swinging it around aimlessly.] I mean why would these gods add legs to my horse?? Wha' kinda weird god'd do tha' t'somethin'? Am I goin' t'show up with extra limbs?

[tomoveyou]

Dodging responsibilities, are we?

[mendsthebond]

[WELL SHE...]

[NOT...]

[IT'S NOT...]

I-I'm not dodgin', I'm jus' not ready!

[tomoveyou]

[AAAND this exceedingly pretty douche (like seriously did you think young Macintosh was bad, this guy has even prettier hair and looks A HUNDRED TIMES MORE VAIN) just laughs at her discomfort.]

Ease up there miss, I didn't say it like it was a bad thing!

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack just leans against his staff and laughs. This is entertaining.]

No, you won't. You'll get a pretty bracelet and a free room. Oh, and magic powers, but those aren't a big deal.

[mendsthebond]

[Oh my god, just watch her roll her eyes at that. BOYS UGH. Fff she crosses her arms.]

How d'ya figure? Someone brings 'at up, it's sure t'be a bad thing.

[mendsthebond]

[Well their CR will be beautiful, won't it?]

[Magic, now you have her attention. She can't... not be, after the whole turning her mom into a bear thing...]

Yeah, no big deal there. Wha' kinda powers, anyway?

[tomoveyou]

[Even worse: JRPG-protagonist boys. They seldom make them prettier than this.]

That's because most people have it beat into them that responsibility and ties that bind you down are the most important thing in the world, from such a young age that they sadly come to believe in it. You'll find no such prejudice here, miss.

[mendsthebond]

[NOOOO. EVEN WORSE THAN DISNEY PRINCES.]

[Although, what he's saying does make the MOST sense right now.]

Och, if I had a silver for e'ery time I be hearin' about duty... [She huffs, her hair ruffling when she does.]

[tomoveyou]

[NOO INDEED. DO YOU EVEN EXFOLIATE wait you're from like middle ages of course you don't.]

You would most likely be a very wealthy young lady. So that's one thing these games have going for them... provided you're aware of what they have in store.

[mendsthebond]

[lolwhut? Hey hey, she lives a pretty rich life for middle ages!]

Suppose I coul' do without the daily lectures. An' it would be nice not havin' to act all proper all th'time.

[Maybe these places aren't so bad.]

Are y'in one?

[cursedtosleep]

I am, yes. I actually am in the house of the bard.

[mendsthebond]

[OH somehow she wasn't actually expecting that. She blinks a couple times to get her brain back on track.]

Wha's... Wha's it like there, then..?

[cursedtosleep]

Everyone, both in game and all the writers are very kind. The gods are frequently there to help, although some of it does depend on the god. The technology is... incredible, like nothing I've ever seen. But then, I've lived in a forest my entire life, such technology was not known to me nor necessary. There is a good deal to explore and to do.

[2cool4guardian]

[If she keeps being this easy to troll, then yes.]

Thaaaaat will depend on what house you get. Has your mun chosen yet, princess?

[tomoveyou]

I used to be... long time ago now. It wasn't that bad as far as these games are concerned... save the occasional moments of monster invasions and the sheer number of walking dead, it was quite tolerable.

[Oh Merida. Not so bad, she thinks...]
