princess maker - future is now

[idolpro]

[ 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. ]

After last night's heartbreak, you wake up to the sounds of knocking at your door.

It turns out it was all a set-up. You're requested to make an appearance at the town hall to answer for your daughter's crimes, something they have plenty of evidence of due to the fact that her 'accomplice' was actually that teacher's son, pretending to love and help her so that they could gather dirt on her.

You still have time to do...well, something. But what? It looks like you've been outplayed this time...

What do you do?

Okay, so this is a multi-tier plan:

Tier 1: [Plan A & B]
Angel goes to meet with the teacher to see if she can work her Angel magic and get the teacher to potentially drop the charges/clear their name, etc. Duality goes with in case bad shit goes down.

In parallel, the rest of the house of FiN go to court and Primrose is going to (in the words of the great Bell) "stand in front of everyone and weep and sob and declare how remorseful she is for allowing herself to be led astray for the sake of the love of a young boy."

If Tier 1 fails, then we move on to to Tier 2: [Plan C & D]
Incriminate the boy as an accomplice and take him down with us.

If that doesn't work, we fucking turn tail and vanish into the seedy underworld where supposedly we have started to make a name for ourselves. Distractions and cover to be provided by the wonderful FiN power set. Thank you very much.

THAT ANGEL CHARM IS SUCCESSFUL!

It's unsure what happened in that home, but the teacher exits her chat with Angel mournful and full of tears, a mere wretched shadow of her former cruel self. That day changed her life, and from then on everyone knew that Primrose's sister was not to be trifled with.

As for everyone else, the meeting at town hall goes off without a hitch. Since there was no solid proof she did anything wrong the first time, these crimes were considered a first offense and Primrose's absolutely superb acting gets her off the hook, though the family is still regarded with quite a bit of suspicion. It seems the local nobles will be keeping an incredibly close eye on your girl, but you've avoided serious trouble for now.

And the rest of the month is uneventful, so go you!

Oh my. That was clever.

[scarvedforlife]

Got the snake pit ready?

[hexsplosive]

Ready and waiting! My children are hungry. ☆

[scarvedforlife]

I mean no one can blame us if she accidentally falls into a snake pit.

[hexsplosive]

It’d be her fault for not watching where she was going.

[scarvedforlife]

Sometimes people just have unmarked snake pits in their yard, it's hardly strange.

—We've obviously been framed by a teacher who's had it out for Primrose!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So we frame her back.

[metafaliure]

I want that incompetent petty sorry excuse for an educator destroyed! What kind of adult uses their own son as part of a grand scheme to convict a child of crimes?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Bell, don't get emotional. We only have a short window to plan our counterattack.

[metafaliure]

[ HUFFFFF ]

Fine. Obviously we have an angle to work at. Regardless of what Primrose has done, the facts are still that an educator threatened to fail her unless Primrose confessed to some suspected crimes. When Primrose refused, this teacher failed her on purpose despite Prim being able to grasp the knowledge.

Then, she used her own son to infiltrate Prim's private life and coerce her into sloppy, ill-thought-out crimes, while secretly recording it in order to hand over to the police. Anyway you look at it, it's a setup. It's entrapment.

[hexsplosive]

She already wrongfully failed her after she worked so hard for those good marks! This is unjust!

[metafaliure]

I want her fired! I want her jailed! I want her executed!!

[hexsplosive]

What other children will she target next? The mayor’s? The miller’s? As long as she goes free, she will continue to frame innocent youths out of spite!

[metafaliure]

Let's destroy her reputation. Let's drive her out of town!!

[nohalation]

[head pops up]

No execution!

[metafaliure]

I want her metaphorically executed!!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No one's getting executed. That's the coward's way out.

That teacher is going to have to live with the shame of getting bested by us for the rest of her fucking life.
