princess maker - avante en garde

[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. ]

Ahaha, what a cute daughter we have... How nice to worry about her classmates like this.

[calmthefoxdown]

Maybe she should talk with the teacher, and if that doesn't work, talk with the principal?

[knightceties]

If the teacher is seeing this and won't do anything, then talking to her isn't going to help, is it?

[calmthefoxdown]

It could be that the teacher can't do anything until a formal complaint is put forward.

[knightceties]

Isn't she supposed to be the one in charge...? I guess we could try talking to her.

[calmthefoxdown]

Not really, her power is pretty limited I'd say. That bullying kid may also just have never had someone go up against them, or used to getting their way because of their parents. There's a lot of factors going on here.

[knightceties]

[ugh this is so much work]

What should we tell her to say?

[calmthefoxdown]

Maybe try going through official channels with the teacher and principal? In the meanwhile, we could teach her how to defend herself, and she could spend time with the people getting bullied so that the bully isn't able to catch anyone alone.

[knightceties]

It takes time to learn, though... I don't want her to be bullied until she's good enough.

[calmthefoxdown]

I can't think of any faster way to resolve it.

[knightceties]

[Ace can]

Maybe if she can hurt the bully another way? Like turn their friends against them or something... She's smart, I'm sure she'll think of something.

[calmthefoxdown]

What if the bully doesn't have friends?

[knightceties]

There must be some way. Like tricking them into getting into trouble with the teacher. Real trouble.

[calmthefoxdown]

But if the teacher's ignoring this level of trouble, what kind of trouble would it take to get the teacher to act?

[knightceties]

I don't know... I guess we can't do much other than ask her to report the bullying. And secretly teach her how to handle the bully in the meantime.

[calmthefoxdown]

Yeah... it'd be good if she's got the confidence and ability to stand up for herself and others, but she should always try going through the official channels first.

[knightceties]

Good thing we got Martial Arts lessons for her~

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Nods. ]

Size doesn't matter in the end. Cardigan can kick my ass easy.

[knightceties]

Haha, that's true.

[calmthefoxdown]

You wanna talk with her? You probably have more tips than I do when it comes to fighting.

[knightceties]

Only with swords. You'd be better at explaining all the sensible stuff about talking to the teacher.

[calmthefoxdown]

I'll try then.
