queenofheartsrp | 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. ]

Tomorrow then.

[Kris leaves her off with a wave.]

Let's get you to the bath. I don't think a shower will be good for you.

I said a bath, didn't I?

[Yeah... trying to stand up now. This is a slow process.]

[Kris puts her arms in non-wounded spots so she can help support Akiha.]

I can never know with you.

I would think when I say 'bath' it means taking a bath, and when I say 'shower' it means taking a shower.

[Easy does it. Akiha needs the help. She's just. SO. TIRED.]

Now, when I say 'bathe' it could mean either.

Whatever you mean, you're going to the bathtub.

[Taking it SLOW]

[What - not teleporting her?]

Yes. That's what I mean for today.

Did you see the giant skeleton snake?

[She prefers walking right now.]

Ooh. I might have? Did you kill it? Did it drop any good items?

I didn't kill it, but I wrapped it up and stopped it from moving so Fionna could kill it.

But did it give you any good items?

...it's a giant skeleton. Why would it give items? It's just bone.

It could have gold or enchanted weapons.

It's a skeleton snake! Where would it have any of those? Do they just appear out of nowhere when it dies?!

[Woah... too much energy in that. Akiha needs to stop for a moment before they tackle the stairs.]

I could have shown you.

[TAKE A BREATH.]

Have you [breath] forgotten that [breath] I'm not [breath] an adventurer?

Anyone can learn how easily. Well, after you're feeling better.

I don't care to be one.

[Okay, up the stairs.]

That's what everyone always says until they go on their first quest.

I thought we already did that.

[In the monster caves. Remember that bracelet Akiha gave Kris?]

Not really, we haven't.

[They didn't even fight anything....]

Then what did we do?

We had a pleasant outing.

I wouldn't call it pleasant.

I call it pleasant.

[Which is obviously good enough for her.]

...you're weird.

Open the door, please.
