The Midnight Prince

[Rokag]

I'm usually trying to just fucking live. Still...it WAS nice...."But seriously, what does it have to do with your purpose?" Still, it didn't look like it'd be BAD to try it on. For all the fancy rich stuff she'd gotten to try on, it still all felt...wrong somewhat. Maybe it was just that she had spent a while wearing whatever would work and what kept the cold out but it still felt wrong after this long wearing those big, ornamental kimonos.

[Shisou]

"Th-th-this is my p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-path," he says, eagerly. "I c-c-c-c-can p-p-p-p-p-pr-o-t-t-t-t-ect y-y-y-y-ou a-a-a-and g-g-g-g-get y-y-y-y-ou t-th-the th-things y-y-y-y-you d-d-d-d-es-s-ser-v-v-ve."

[Rokag]

"Uh...okay just...don't get too in over your head." Rokag gave the necklace another look before moving to try it on. Even IF she needed to keep that thing someplace safe, it wouldn't hurt to see what all the fuss was about, right?

[GamesMaster]

The necklace shines in the light, beautiful. Her reflection in the mirror is almost unrecognizable. But nothing special happens.

[Rokag]

Rokag turned from the mirror, putting the necklace on. "Look, I'll try it, but you really need to explain how you got away from them without getting caught." She tried not to think about the woman looking at her in the mirror. The one that was pregnant and would be for three years and. "Probably need someplace else to change."

[GamesMaster]

"I m-m-m-m-made a d-d-d-d-d-d-aring e-s-s-s-s-cape." Shisou began telling the tale, mixing in elements of a stolen boat, a sudden squall, nearly drowning... Finally he explains that he got the necklace from a hidden pirate treasure he'd found when he'd washed ashore.

[Rokag]

Rokag blinked as shisou went through the story. This...seems REAL fucking weird. That doesn't even make sense. "Uh...huh. And where did the giant octopus come from. I didn't even think those lived near here." She really needed to find Carbonne. Maybe Xe could help figure out what was going on

[Shisou]

"F-f-f-f-from the w-w-w-w-w-ater, of c-c-c-c-c-course."

[Rokag]

Rokag stared at Shisou. "So...you realize you're fucking terrible at lying, right?"

[Shisou]

"A-a-a-a-am n-n-n-n-n-not!"

[GamesMaster]

"Yeah you are, kid," says Carbonne, leaping up onto Rokag's shoulder. "Something's seriously wrong with you."

[Rokag]

"Yeah, not sure how the hell you would even fucking find a storm. You were gone for a couple bells and it was clear here. So what the fuck is actually going on?"

[Shisou]

"I d-d-d-d-don't kn-kn-know wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-what you m-m-m-m-m-mean. P-p-p-per-h-h-h-haps time p-p-p-p-p-p-assed d-d-d-d-d-d-ifferent-t-t-tly f-f-f-f-for e-e-e-e-each o-o-o-o-f u-u-u-u-s?"

[Rokag]

"Um....yeah, I don't think that worked. Seriously, are you actually okay? You don't sound like you hit your head on a rock or something."

[Shisou]

"Y-y-y-y-yes. J-j-j-j-just t-t-t-t-tired."
