princess maker - WILD CITY

[ 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. ]

Depends on what outcome you want. All seem viable to me, but I'm not invested in any particular result.

Running forever doesn't sound like much of a life for her. Some stability is probably good for her.

[small face]

As you like, then.

It's not as I like though. If you disagree, then speak up.

If you'll recall, I said my part.

You made a face though. Are you sure they're all that viable? None better than the others?
theyregooddogs: (in you everything sank—!)

I do not know what outcome—[eyebrows up, sighing] It would be easy to knock her over. If it was the aim of our hosts to traumatize.
shutthefoxup: (Time is moving slow)

[personal profile] shutthefoxup 2018-09-30 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
I don't care what our hosts want. I don't care about winning a game like this. I just want to go with whatever route is going to be the right one for her.

[quiet but not totally gentle]

She's not real.

Are you one hundred percent sure? You're positive that there's not going to be some twist to all this?
theyregooddogs: (and you were the miracle.)

What, that we get a new member? It would go counter to the rules they themselves have put in place.
theyregooddogs: (the hard cold hour)

You're still holding out, though.

Holding out?

Compassion, care for her.

"Fake" or not, I don't want to start that slippery slope.

That's why as someone with no horse in the race, I will defer to those who are.

Re: DISCUSSION

I think...if I stopped caring about this here and now...I wouldn't be able to stop myself from deciding not to care about too many other things. Not caring would be too nice and too easy.
theyregooddogs: (you still called and sang.)

[... gdit son, why do you do this to me]

You have a lot of — "Room" available.
shutthefoxup: (You can count on me to misbehave)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] shutthefoxup 2018-09-30 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, I worked hard for every square inch of it.
theyregooddogs: (open and bitter well.)

[honestly, face]

I have the strong desire to hit you upside your head. For the record.
theyregooddogs: (you still flowered in songs)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] theyregooddogs 2018-09-30 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
Because.

Don't you have a child to attend to?

Right, right, I'm on it.
