princess maker - Taisho Roman Revolution

[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find the room inside looks like the living room of a mansion. There are several doors, but one in particular stands out to you: it is ornately decorated, the very door's wood itself carved beautifully with gold etched in to make luxurious patterns depicting what looks like the sky and the wind blowing through the grasslands. Though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent.

The room is painted baby blue and a gold-plated cradle sits in the room. Inside, a baby cries - high pitched and noisy, though immediately a nurse comes in to rock the child back to sleep. ]

[ Slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby sits up, trying to climb out of her cradle; a little toddler dressed prettily with expensive clothes beams pleasantly; a tantrum, thrown by the little girl who's distressed; the little girl holding a puppy, pleased as punch; then the wall becomes opaque. ]

[ In the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 sits on a chair, smiling at you. a golden retriever is curled up beside her.

This is your little girl. you couldn't help spoiling her, honestly - after all, she's a noble too, and she should like to become a princess as well. She deserves it! But you also know, with how your history's gone, she's going to have to work to get to the top. Still, you have faith in her - she's your girl, after all. ]

As a reward for one of the contests she was entered in, your daughter is rewarded with her own workshop -- a decent quality one, located on the outskirts of town. However, when you go to check it out with her you find it's completely vandalized, everything within destroyed, materials stolen, tools broken --

And she's absolutely livid. Well, livid in the low-key, seething way she generally experiences emotions. Without a second thought she says something vague about 'having a word with' the culprit, and charges out of the building with a hammer in hand, without waiting for you.

What do you do?

[ double take; makes her repeat her left step as she runs without a right step in between until she either turns around and runs back to them or just fucking eats shit and falls on her face I guess, whichever comes first ]

Re: DECISION.

[silently checking on her, to see if... she's okay or if they should take her to a doctor's orz]

[Maki also chases, more quietly, but definitely with the goal of getting to the culprit before she does.]

Re: DECISION.

[idolpro]

[ Well that's a lot more successful! You find a trio of kids not too far from the workshop, having given Samira the slip and doubled back. Their hands are still dirty with grease and clothes specked with splinters of metal and wood. They're laughing about the whole affair and definitely the culprits.

What do you do? ]

Re: DECISION.

[rollplayinghouse]

[She approaches them with a cold look on her face.]

Do you kids want to die? Because I can't think of any other reason for doing something like that.

Re: DECISION.

[idolpro]

"Haha, what are you talking about? Trashing that asshole's fancy playhouse? What are you gonna do about it?"

Re: DECISION.

[rollplayinghouse]

Asshole? It looks like you're the ones who are laughing about having destroyed something she worked hard to earn. I think you're just insecure and jealous.

And you should be hoping that I'm the one to deal with you rather than her.

[ Also racing after her since something tells him this might be vaguely his fault... Vaguely. ]

Now is not the time to be acting rashly! You must not let your temper get the best of you! Samira!

You stopped Samira from meting out justice on her own, which was probably a good thing since the cops were already on the way and she'd have probably been much less skillful than Maki -- who managed to actually make some friends out of the whole altercation and improved the family's standing in the eyes of the townspeople and your fellow local nobles.

Samira, emotionally exhausted from having had approximately two entire emotions, is back to her old self, but now accompanied by a guard -- as well, her workshop is guarded and that alongside the thorough beating the ruffians received ensures the safety of her shop and her goods, as well as herself. It seems she's finally achieved her dream of being left alone.

Well, mostly. She has a lot of fans, now.

And they're sort of a problem? Well, that's for later. For now, things seem fairly uneventful...
