Princess Maker 1.5: future is now

[ 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. That child, your charge—you're her nursemaid, so you go to her and rock her 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 at the age of 11 sits on a chair, smiling at you. A long-haired, pure white cat 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 her family history has 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. Fortunately, when she goes to the Lost Continent, she won't be alone: you, as her longtime caretaker (her third parent, really, or her first, if you consider how her family's left her care entirely to you), may accompany her to her new school. You'll be her ally, her support, her greatest weapon; you'll be the one who determines her success . . . or her failure. ]

[ Of course, you're not the only one that thinks your charge deserves the world: Primrose Victory Bacon^3, one of the Queens of your Kingdom, hand-selected your employers' child. She doesn't have a child of her own to send to the Lost Continent—and even if she did, she would have her own inheritance battle to face within the Kingdom anyway—so she's selected theirs to sponsor. It's because of her that your charge will be able to go at all. That your child would catch the Queen's eye surely means the inheritance is as good as hers!

. . . Though, it's a little unsettling that the one rumored to be the Queen of Crime is your charge's sponsor! ]

[ Watching this... ]

Remember free time too! It's healthy to have personal interests!
dumbjockenergy: question, casual, doubting (02)

She can have free time when she's not a snobby fool. Until then, it's classes.
scarvedforlife: (Really you don't need to be shy about it)

That's how you get a rebellious teenager on your hands. And if she loses trust in us, there's no getting it back.

Not if she's so busy she has no time to rebel.
scarvedforlife: (Following your lead.)

[personal profile] scarvedforlife 2020-09-26 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.

Admittedly, I don't...think I have kids, so.

Think of it from her side. If you didn't want to do something and wanted to rebel, but your oppressors were doing everything they can to make sure you were too worn out to rebel, what would you do?
dumbjockenergy: surprised, uhhh, doesn't know (173)

[personal profile] dumbjockenergy 2020-09-26 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
...Keep doing what I was told.
scarvedforlife: (Looks like a dick to me.)

[personal profile] scarvedforlife 2020-09-26 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
... You're not a rebelling type huh.
dumbjockenergy: worried, unsure (13)

[personal profile] dumbjockenergy 2020-09-26 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I like rules and organization. It's easier to follow.
scarvedforlife: (Inquisition!)

[personal profile] scarvedforlife 2020-09-26 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Welll, we can hope for the best and prepare for the worst? But forcing someone to be a certain way when they want to be another is a gamble, not a guarantee.
dumbjockenergy: thinking, huh (15)

Raising kids seems complicated
