princess maker - BAD END=DEAD END
[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find yourself in a humble cottage, in what seems to be the living room specifically. There are several doors, but a specific one catches your eye: simple in its decoration, the door has a cute little wooden plaque with flowers carved into it. Though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent.
A wooden cradle sits in the room beyond, which is otherwise plain. Inside, a baby sleeps peacefully. When she stirs, calling for her parent, you are there to cradle her back to sleep. ]

[ Slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby coos pleasantly, giggling jovially when you (presumably) make faces at her; she tries to pick herself up and falls over, but she does not cry; a disagreement between you and her lead to a thoughtful discussion; the young girl carries a large laundry basket to do chores; she buys a pet bird, looking so proud for having earned the money all by herself; then the wall becomes opaque. ]
[ In the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 stands, smiling at you. A bird with beautiful plumage rests on her shoulder.
This is your daughter. You tried your best to rear her, and she's been good to you. 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 - she'll have to work hard, and she's capable of it but you'll have to guide her hand, most certainly. Better she become a princess than go off to war, though; you could not stand to see your baby girl die on the battlefield. Whether she actually becomes a princess or not . . . well, that's up to fate, isn't it? All you can do is try your best. ]

Re: DISCUSSION
We are going to take a break from normal activities for the next couple of days. Maybe weeks. What would you like to do?
Re: DISCUSSION
"Uhhhhm. . .
Want to see how good I can arm wrestle. . . ?"
Re: DISCUSSION
[Trying to figure out where would be a good place for this. Probably the table. Picking her up and putting her in a chair. Keeping a hand on hers the whole time as he sits across.]
Re: DISCUSSION
"Ready?"
Re: DISCUSSION
[Arm wrestling at about half strength. Not necessarily giving her the easy win, but something achievable.]
Re: DISCUSSION
Re: DISCUSSION
You are good at this. Pity I missed out on your earlier lessons.
Re: DISCUSSION
She jumps from her seat though. Victory!!!
Re: DISCUSSION
Yes. I can be.
[You know, what. This is fine. This is totally fine.]
