Princess Selphie! Hip Hip Hooray!~

[booyaka_boom]

Who: PRINCESS Selphie and any servants (ie, you)
Where: Plaza
When: Any day during curse week.
Style: Any kind!
Status: Open to all peasants!! (ie, everyone)

In the plaza, there is a small group of locals clustered around someone sitting in a chair. Surrounding the chair, on a table, are vases full of flowers, plates full of cakes and a couple of small trinket gifts. Once one of the locals rushes away to go fetch something, Selphie is visible on that chair. She's smiling at the locals who are painting her nails a bright pink colour, and she giggles as another lifts a milkshake with a straw to her lips. On her head is a big, bright, shiny tiara. It had been too nice to ignore and, to be honest, she hasn't tried to take it off. Why would she?

One of the most self-less, generous young women you'll ever meet, taking advantage of everything she can get. She's having a great time getting everything done for her, having everything she wants. And all seems to be going well until...

"You! You missed a spot! You've ruined my whole manicure! Fix it! Now! Or else..."

Who knows what that threat might have been, but she sits up in her chair, smirking to herself as the local apologises and hurries to correct the terrible error.

[An is randomly walking by the plaza, wearing a horned helmet. She sees Selphie being attended by various locals, and hey, it's only fair she gets some attention too!

Without any kind of greeting, she sits down in an empty chair and grins.]

That looks nice, I'd like one myself.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie pulls a face at An's hat - it's definitely not as pretty as hers. She does smile at An, though she is shaking her head*

What does? My tiara? Or my manicure? I guess you can get your own manicure, but you can't have my tiara, because it's mine.

[ladyinscarlet]

[And likewise, An pulls a face at Selphie's tiara.]

And I have no need for that puny, little thing. I have my own crown... [Points to her helmet.]

I want a manicure.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie stares at An's head for a moment*

That's supposed to be a crown? Well, I guess a manicure might help...

*She nods at one of the locals, who finishes Selphie's nails and takes the collection of pink polishes for An to choose from*

[ladyinscarlet]

[Hey, An is a viking King... Well, Queen, at the moment...]

Of course it is a crown, girl. I am a Queen.

[An takes a look at the pink polishes and frowns.]

Is there no red?

[booyaka_boom]

You're a queen?

*Well, if she's a princess, she'd better bow her head a little respectfully*

No! Red isn't a princess colour, it's a... uhm, I don't know. Is it a queen colour? One of the locals will get one for you!

[ladyinscarlet]

I am the viking queen, my dear.

[Yes Selphie, better show some respect to your superiors.]

I want red.

[booyaka_boom]

Right. A viking. Okay.

*Selphie blinks blankly - she doesn't really know what that means, but then she does nod her head. She watches as a local rushes off to get some red polish*

This is fun!

[ladyinscarlet]

Treatment fit for royalty, as it should be.

[She leans back and lets herself be pampered.]

Jasdero was strutting around like a chicken, scratching at things with his feet and randomly biting things. It was weird behavior for even this guy. But he was being affected by the chicken hat he wore.

Then he came across this fancy pants party. Reminded him of the parties the Earl liked to have. Too fancy for this guy.

"Dero missed a spot, b'gawk! Heee!" he knocked over a chair.

[booyaka_boom]

Selphie noted that weird behaviour going on just in front of her. That was hardly a proper way to be conducting oneself in public. She pulled a face, hoping that this...person thing didn't come too close.

When they knocked over a chair, Selphie gasped and pointed, "Hey! Pick it up!" Not like they were even her chairs.

[bondummy]

Dero frowned with his rather large, stitched-up mouth. He kicked over another chair. "Dero doesn't have to pick up chairs, heeee~"

[booyaka_boom]

Excuse Selphie's stare, but she's never seen someone with their mouth sewn shut before. Leaning forward, she ignored the chairs being picked up. "Are you okay..?"

[bondummy]

Jasdero is hardly okay by any sense of the word. He's hardly a normal person either, gray-skinned and terrible posture as he slouches around scratching at the ground with his boots. The stitches just added on to the image. "Dero is fine, b'gawk!"

[booyaka_boom]

Selphie has started to notice this, and is looking more and more alarmed. She sat right at the edge of her chair, knocking over a pillow. "You're...not like a demon zombie or anything? Like - if I cast cure on you, would you die?" Because she was beginning to wonder if that was necessary...

[bondummy]

Jasdero scratched his chin for a moment, seemingly thoughtfully but truly there wasn't much going on through his head. "Dero isn't a zombie or a demon. Dero is a Noah."

[booyaka_boom]

"A Noah?" Selphie flicked a rest, urging the locals to stop fussing over her and to move aside so she could get a better look at this...person? "Come closer."

There was command in her voice, very much the curious princess.

[contemptibility]

[Tiir just happens to passing by, fortunately avoiding this curse—when, wait, what?]

... Selphie...?

[booyaka_boom]

*A local was just about to put some cake into Selphie's mouth when she spotted Tiir, and she waves him over with a freshly manicured hand*

Hi Tiir! Come have some tea and cake with me!

[contemptibility]

[... This is all still rather strange, and so he pauses for a moment, before slowly walking over to her.]

You seem to be enjoying yourself.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie grins and pats the comfortable-looking chair next to her in invitation*

Of course! You should join in! There's strawberries too. You can be my knight in shining armour!

[contemptibility]

[Rather than take the chair, he stares incredulously.]

Your... ah, what?

[booyaka_boom]

My knight! Come on! It'll be fun!

*Selphie smiles with her eyes closed, oh-so content, still patting the chair next to her*

For now, your duties are to be comfortable, and to eat some delicious cake.

[contemptibility]

[... He's used to playing pretend with children, but nothing quite like this.]

Well, I suppose that sounds simple enough...

[Though he doesn't make a move towards the chair.]

So you're affected by this curse, then.

[booyaka_boom]

*Used to playing pretend with children? Selphie would just about have a heart attack if she heard that*

It is! It's an easy duty, for now!~

*She winks at him, still patting that chair - her hand is going to hurt soon*

What curse?
