idolpro | princess maker - Heart Soldier Senshi

[ 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. ]

Yeah, but like. More specific than that? You gotta have something you've been hoping for... right?

The girl pauses.

"I thought about it but there's a lot! I dunno! Like, maybe . . . Princess Dark Firestorm . . . but that's long, and it sounds silly. So maybe not. . ."

[ i n c r e d i b l e ]

If that's what you like, the opinions of others shouldn't dissuade you from it.

Maybe... "Princess Dark Firestorm Brilliant Raptor," then?

[ that's. a helluva mouthful but ]

Something from her, and something from us?

[ don't let teenagers name children ]

Powerful and regal both. I approve.

Yeah! That's an awesome name.

...Okay, I never expected a name this long. It sounds kinda pretentious when it's this long.

Hmmm...Firestorm Raptor? Just Dark Firestorm?

It's not uncommon for royalty to have long names you know. Besides, she said she wanted to be Princess Dark Firestorm!

Oh. [ Is that why long names sound pretentious, then? ] ...Let's drop the Princess bit, it'd be pretty silly when she becomes Princess to already have 'Princess' in her name.

"But it's so long! No one else has a long name like that. And then if you put it all together it gets even longer, like. . . Heart Soldier Senshi'zhd Princess Dark Firestorm. . . ."

When she speaks, the sound she makes after Heart Soldier Senshi is a tongue click.

That's fine. Everyone should know what family you're from. Eclipse thinks we should drop "Princess," though, since you haven't really attained that title yet.

"Oh. I guess that's fine. . . "

Too long for you, huh?

"I guess I can have a nickname?"

[Overhearing another thread.]

You like Joyous Dark Firestorm Starling, huh?

"Yeah!"

Kay... you got it.

...Yeah, I see your point.

[ Give him a moment to think... ]

How does Firestorm Raptor sound to you? Makes people think of a flaming bird. [ Let's split the difference between the names we chose! ]

[ PLEASE, ]

There is already a Phoenix around here, and otherwise it sounds like it's on fire, to be eaten later. At least put in Joyous at the front so everyone knows it's okay.

[ just laughing in the background at this point, wow ]

She lifts her hand.

"Papi said I could have Princess Joyous Dark Firestorm Starling!"

Yeah, she said she liked it. It can be her cool hero princess title name, and we can call her Joy for short.

How did we get to this point...

Okay, I guess this works.

[ starrlliiinggg..... ]

I suppose at least Firestorm sounds tough.

If she likes it, let her go with what she likes.
