60 (Bath Day)

[her_mouse_jesty]

[It's Video, held by Satin the Kirlia, but feel free to do Action in Goldenrod as well! For you see, Minnie is in the Goldenrod Department Store, though she's behind a curtain due to getting changed.]

Hello everyone! I do hope you're all having a good day. I just thought I'd ask for your time, and ask for your opinion.

[She shuffles around behind the curtain...]

Sometime in the fall, once Ventus returns here to Goldenrod, we'll be holding a knighting ceremony for him and Xion. Since I am royalty, I'll be knighting them, along with some real knights we have here. And I figured I should dress up nicely, so... what do you think?

[She pulls back the curtain, and steps out...




Though her hair is still white from the last event, sob. and ignore the extra hand. She smiles, grabbing her dress and swishing it around.]

I'm still not sure... but isn't it fun, getting all dressed up? If I can't wear it to the knighting ceremony, it might make for a good Halloween costume... though it seems a bit silly for a queen to have a princess costume, heeheehee!

You look wonderful! And maybe all girls have our secret princess inside us, so I don't think it's silly at all.

[her_mouse_jesty]

What a wonderful thought! Yes, every girl is a princess in their hearts!

Well, that's certainly a place to start.

Although... I'm curious, are knights in your world then just a type of soldier or officer...?

Re: Video

[her_mouse_jesty]

They're both. We used to call them musketeers, too.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

"Musketeers"....?

*has never heard the term before. or the term "musket", for that matter*

Re: Video

[her_mouse_jesty]

Now we just call them knights. But time changes words.

[Oh, it's a familiar person! Aidou's been wondering if there's anyone who he knows around anymore.]

You look pretty, Minnie.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

*nods*

Ah, I see. And then knighting someone here is something of an honorific title, as it's not within your kingdom...?

video

[her_mouse_jesty]

Why thank you -

[She stops. oh my goodness!]

... Aidou? When did you get back?! Oh, how wonderful!

[video]

[lovechronicle]

Yes, and sometimes we have to let that princess out to shine and remind ourselves that she's there all the time.

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

So true, so true! Spoken like a real princess!

[frozenloyalty]

[Oh, good, she does remember him. He was a bit worried since it's been around a year.]

Around a week ago. I honestly though I've been away for five minutes, but... it seems like I wasn't.

video

[her_mouse_jesty]

It's been so long since I've seen your face!

[She quickly grabs the Pokegear from Satin, worried and happy.]

Are you all right?

[video]

[lovechronicle]

Thank you. [A giggle.] Well, I found my inner princess [pause, thinking] around three years ago. I guess it shows sometimes.

No but really, you look amazing and getting all dressed up is very much fun indeed.

I am not familiar with those people, but I trust your judgement enough to know that their exploits deserve to be celebrated.

Are their stories ones you can share, Minnie?

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

It really is. I want to look my best for the ceremony... And sometimes I do miss my days of royalty back home. But nothing can beat the feeling of a good dress and good friends.

[her_mouse_jesty]

Hm... I suppose, but just in case...

[She turns on the filter, and takes a seat.]

Xion and Ventus are both children, even by our standards. But they've both gone through unbelievable suffering. Ventus was experimented on, lost his memory, and was used as a tool by those he trusted. And Xion... she found out she wasn't a 'real' person, and was created to be a weapon, another experiment.

[Gorthan closes his eyes gravely.]

That is horrible, Minnie... I am very sorry.

[It's not like Gorthan doesn't know how to show sympathy... it's just that he never quite knows what to say once said sympathy is out there. And when he wonders why he does that, he has to remind himself that he's an Evronian.]

Do you think... do you think that even with that sort of past, they still have a chance at happiness?

[Video.] - Private

[her_mouse_jesty]

[Despite the sad pasts, Minnie is still smiling.]

Of course I do. They've risen above those trials, and proved themselves long since their pasts. Our past may have had some hand in who we are... but it does not define us. If that wasn't true, I'd still be a bratty and selfish princess. But that's not what people think of me as, do they?

[lovechronicle]

Girls got to look their best for important events! Sometimes I miss my life from home too, but I guess that's what most of us do... And I just have to agree on the last one, except maybe love can beat it, or we could just add love to the list of unbeatable things!

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

I would agree with you there, but the one I love isn't here with me. He's waiting for me back home.

[Video.] - Private

[shakespearealien]

[That is truly meaningful, and Gorthan nods, the simple gesture hiding how much Minnie's words have actually affected him. Not only does it mean that he, too, could find redemption if he wanted to, but it also means that there is hope for his children, universes away.]

... It has just occurred to me, Minnie. I miss you greatly.

[Video.] - Private

[her_mouse_jesty]

[She blinks a little, surprised to hear that, but of course she winds up smiling.]

Then I'll have to fix that, now won't I?

video

[kyoukashotennis]

Hmm... then I think I'll continue calling you Minnie-san. That way it feels more like we'll be friends. [Or that's what he hopes.]

video

[frozenloyalty]

I'm fine, Minnie. I haven't been able to go too far because of the weather, but I'm fine.

[It... feels a bit odd to have someone worried over you like this. It's not the Akatsuki kind of worry either.]

I'm sorry if I worried you.
