help me, darling. help me, please.

[ So much to think about, and the clouds are no escape for your fine Queen today.

"Their own love in their rightful Queen can be strengthened. Compassion will show you both the way, I am certain. Some girls just want to ride the wind wear ever it takes them, and live life to the fullest."

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Such a mess, it's all become such a mess! ]

[ The mirror is recording as the Queen stands at the shoreline, the long stretch of the dunes at her back, the sheer plane of water before her. And overhead the clouds are still flashing with lightning, even as the serpent's bones rain down and warriors close in upon the ship. The storms are banished first, brushed aside with nothing more than an impatient motion. The ship will have to come down next, and she reaches upwards, pausing for only a moment when the High Priestess appears, her feet wet when the tide rolls in, and her head shaded beneath a paper parasol. She says something that can't be heard and the Queen nods distractedly, beginning then to reel down the Labrys as if she has caught it round with a lasso. The Pirate Queen appears at the rails, looking startled and irritated, calling out gruffly,]

Ready to open your mouth, woman?

[ Her majesty sighs, stating very deliberately, ] We do need to talk, yes.

[ The ship hits the ground with a spray of sand and sea, but the gangplank is lowered, and the Queen steps onto the ship, leaving the High Priestess standing at the edge of the tide. A squadron of large brown bears take up positions around the site. The Warrior Princess does not take long in joining them, her face cut and streaked with ash and blood. She does not take her eyes off of the ship, not even for a moment.

When the Queen reappears to see her there, she smiles bashfully. ]

High Priestess, you still have those bottled little folk, don't you, my dear?

[ Whatever the expression on the High Priestess' face, it is not pleasure, but she inclines her head obediently. Soon enough, a cat can be seen walking slowly down the beach, a rope in its mouth that is tied to a floating crate. The faeries inside rattle in their bottles, lights flashing within.

The Pirate Queen crows something rude and self-aggrandizing from the rails, grinning, and the damsels are led up from below deck by an honor guard of battered skeletons. The Queen opens her arms to them. ]

Darlings! I'm so glad to see you safe!

[ The Damsel goes to her, if no one else, and even she has soon moved on, hurrying across the sands to greet the Warrior Princess with a hug that is not returned.

The gangplank of the Labrys recedes when the crate is safely onboard, and though the ship does not seem to be moving, some of the skeletons wave cheerfully from the decks, giggling in that eerie way of theirs. ]

I'd like to know. It could be something that could start another fight, so if we can prepare, or even stop it, then we should really try to find out.

But, for now, go ahead. You know I probably won't say no.
golden_gaytime: (what are you saying? {+yui})

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-07-27 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I agree. It doesn't have to be violent to be adventurous! [ The dream, she means. ]

Ah! Well, I know I just arrived back, and you would probably like me to come back home, but... [ She casts a sidelong glance in her blond friend's direction, some distance out of earshot. ] I have a friend — I've told you about Akira-kun? — and it seems she was quite distressed by the events. [ Looking to Larry, now. ] I would like to spend some time with her, and Kazumi-san, to ease their minds.

Akira? I think I've talked to her once or twice.

[ Larry smiles, placing her hand on Mugi's shoulder. ]

Now that I know you're safe, I'm alright, but it sounds like she needs the company. It's not like I'm your mom anyways, you can do what you want to, especially if it's something like this.
golden_gaytime: (I think you're right)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-07-28 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
She is very nice! [ Mugi beams. ] And I really do appreciate this, Larry. I will be back home tomorrow, then. I promise!

She seems like it, and I'm glad you've got a friend like that.

[ You'd think Larry was more than a few years older than Mugi the way she talks. ]

Alright, but now that you've said that, you gotta tell me if you change your plans.

So am I. [ She nods. ] I will! It will be good to have access to the vine again, when I need it.

Haha, yeah. It's weird being so used to something like that, but it's really convenient.
golden_gaytime: (so bright)

[personal profile] golden_gaytime 2012-07-28 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
It is! I think I like it more than communicating via cell phones. [ Though god help everyone if she can teach it emoji. ]

I shouldn't keep them waiting. [ She bows a bit. ] Thank you again, Larry, for everything. I will see you tomorrow!

[personal profile] gun_cata 2012-07-29 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
It's way more convenient than those are.

[ Way more convenient than 90's cell phones isn't saying much. ]

Hurry along, then, and you're welcome. See you tomorrow!
