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. ]

I'm not even sure Emi will see this as a bad thing... But we should probably see what Shira wants to tell her first.

Yeah. I wanna believe Emi will be good about this, but it's all up to Shira in the end. The best we can do is offer advice on what to say.

Emi already knew Shira had powers, right? This is just another type of power. Maybe if she frames it like that, it won't sound so scary.

Ah, yeah! That's true! I'm sure that'll help.

Emi's parents have probably said a lot of bad things about us already. If Shira describes this like it's the Plague, it might be harder for Emi to keep an open mind about it, you know? Better to come at it from a different angle.

Mm. [nods] It's not like any of us believe this is... [in a lower, spooky tone:] The Plaaaagueee. Not even herself. So I hope it'll work out.

We should believe in Emi-chan, who said she believed in Shira-chan, but I think we should help break this news to her if Shira-chan wants to share.

Guess we gotta keep in mind she's probably still dealing with being friend-zoned.

B-But that's not what happened to Shira, is it?

Do you think she ever confessed? She said they'd kissed!

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] worldlyafflictions 2018-10-01 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
A kiss would normally be a confession wouldn't it? Though I guess it was more like... Emi-chan accidentally dealt Shira-chan a blow by saying 'I want to be friends forever' without knowing she has a crush...

I-I'm sure Emi-chan will figure it out! If not, Shira will just have to spell it out loud but... I'm still happy that she has someone who cares about her as much as she cares for her. A real friend that she made without powers...
