princess maker - pep!pep!

[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find inside the room looks small, cramped, just one living space without any doors—you can hear noises of the bustling life outside, as well as other people beyond the thin walls. the space bends on the walls, and a basket sits on the table in the center of this studio room with a blanket folded into it.

Inside, a baby stirs restlessly - you hope she goes back to sleep soon, and you play your flute in hopes of lulling her back to sleep. Unfortunately, a sharp knock sounds from the ceiling - the tenants upstairs don't like what you're doing. You take a more drastic measure, singing softly to your baby as you rock the basket back and forth and hope the tenants don't complain again. ]

-

[ Slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby cries, and in turn, the upstairs tenants knock at your ceiling again; she finds her way to your flute, tooting happily though no noise comes out; a little toddler, she becomes attached to a stray cat; you decline her request, and she storms out to run away for a little while as you regret; she returns, covered in cat hair and ignores everything you say; then the wall becomes opaque. ]

[ In the corner of the room, a young girl the age of 10 crouches, looking away from you. she holds a cat in her arms, petting the creature constantly.

You wish you could have done better for your baby girl. But, this is what you love to do and maybe you'll get a gig that pays well enough that you two can move out of this shithole - hopefully. You tried your best to rear her, but with how infrequent you're in the house, working odd jobs in the day and performing at the pub at night, you're not sure anymore. You know she is capable of anything if she puts her mind to it - even becoming a princess - but you also know it's not easy to become a princess, and she's horribly equipped for any of that. Then again, if anything your little tyke is tough, and if anyone could be a rags-to-riches princess, it would be her. Thankfully, you've emergency savings - for her schooling, of course. You have a lot of regrets, but maybe it's not too late. ]

We totally shouldn't but it's kinda an interesting thought ta consider where that route would go...

I mean, if Shira and Emi are both down for it--they'd just be modern day Romelle and Julette, right?

[ no need to point out how that ends, ]

If we want to be arrested... Then they might take Shira to the Capital.

We'd be the prime suspects and Shira-chan would have ta live on the run.

If Emi's down for it, I'm sure we could find a place to hide her until whatever investigation had passed. Alternatively, we find a way to frame someone else for Emi's murder, freeing Emi and Shira to see each other whenever they want.

[ if we're going to commit one crime, why not two or three. ]

... Before we jump on the train to crazytown, we need to work out the first problem. Finding a way for them to talk. We don't really know where Emi stands right now. These kids are heavily brainwashed by this place.

It sounds like the parents who are brainwashed. Emi still wanted to be with Shira even after they moved away. I'm sure that hasn't changed just because her parents yelled at her more.

That might not mean she's ready to ditch them either. We're going to need to address this from the ground up. Not just one situation. Or it's probably going to keep happening. We didn't address it enough the first time.

I'm not saying Emi's going to want to leave them behind, nor do I want them to... I'm just saying I want to change the parent's minds somehow so this just becomes a non-issue.

Well yeah, that's why I'm saying go big. Go for the public information campaign.

Where do you suggest we start?

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] malignstar 2018-09-30 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Probably with other kids. Maybe we could help Shira make a newsletter. That involves diligence and intelligence.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] we_meet_again 2018-09-30 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think we'll be able to reach Emi's parents through a newsletter from someone who they're already prejudiced against?

We're not reaching them first. We're reaching kids. Kids won't have the stuff as ingrained in them.

I think that would prove that we're as bad as they think we are.
