Terre Haute Expedition: Paradisa Town

[save_the_souls]

[After a long few days of traveling, the expedition team has reached past it's halfway point! And as such, they decide to make rest at a place that had once been the target of a previous expedition:]


Paradisa Town
Note: Talking Animal People and Actually Happy Once-ler Not Included

[A small cutesy village that once served as a world change location, it has now been abandoned of all it's previous residents. Though it's condition hardly looks like a place that hasn't been lived in for years- instead it has the condition that everyone just stepped out for awhile. There are more than enough small houses to fit everyone, so it's a nice break from sleeping on the ground (for some anyway). It's also a good place to stock up if you're one of those explorers that forgot things such as food and spare clothing. That is, if you don't mind peaches and fish and really gaudy clothing.]

[Relax, Explore, Pig out on Peaches - the evening is yours to do as you please.]

[ Anne has to wonder where that wolf went off to, a touch nervous as she glances over her shoulder and this way and that before moving a bit closer to shore. ]

The river has seen fit to take away my soap in your wolf's play. There are oils among my clothing... I must fetch them, and apologize most profoundly for forcing your eyes shut once more.

[wolfchild]

Can you open the door then? My hands are... [ yeah ]

[ino]

"Lord"?

[ what lord she is confused now ]

It's Ino. You?

[wolfchild]

[ After another period of tug of war, she looks up. ]

What?

[wolfchild]

You're not eating, are you?

[ensorceler]

Our Father in Heaven. ...God.

[ Duh. No, she sort of expects this girl to be clueless by now. Heathens everywhere she trips, and used to it. ]

I am Anne Boleyn, crowned consort of his Majesty King Henry the Eighth of England, and Lady Regent of Cair Paradisa.

[princelyspirit]

It's a shame that we don't actually have one with us. I mean, I'm trying to get what I can, but... well, let's just say that this isn't museum quality.

[Sounds a bit exasperated with herself, but when she turns towards Ashley, she's tries not to appear too down]

But, hey, it's better than nothing. Besides, we have a few artist types back at the castle - maybe they can turn this into something useful.

[inafadingcrown]

I do not plan to partake of the mutton, no.

[ino]

Oh ... right. That guy.

[ AWKWARD. ]

Well, it's nice to meet you ... Anne? [ dude that is so many titles what does she even call you ... and what even is a regent of paradisa ]

[wolfchild]

Scared?

[ensorceler]

Your Majesty. [ She gently corrects, not entirely expecting the girl to follow. The most foreign could be the most stubborn. ] Or Highness, or Queen Anne, if you please.

[ino]

... Right.

[ she pauses, taking a moment to rinse off. she hesitates before she speaks again, because she knows it might not matter, and it might even offend her, but -- ] Not to be rude, but ... you do know those titles don't mean much here, right?

[inafadingcrown]

Of a slab of meat? No. Ill at ease, perhaps, but not frightened.

[wolfchild]

Scared.

[ensorceler]

[ She crouches down to dip her hair in the water, carefully rinsing it off, waiting until so that she can push it away from her eyes to look to the young woman. ]

My titles were bestowed to me by my benevolent prince's own hand, before God and the English people's eyes. They are as important, no, more important to me than mine own Christian name.

So I carry it as you do your name, Mistress Ino, closely to my heart and with a fierce grip. Should that not be enough?

[inafadingcrown]

If that is what you would prefer to believe. [Not scared, damn it.] It matters little to me.

[wolfchild]

Still scared.

[inafadingcrown]

The thought seems to rather delight you.

[wolfchild]

The thought seems to rather annoy you.

[inafadingcrown]

As you knew it would.

[wolfchild]

[ A shrug. She might have had an inkling. ]

[wizard_redfive]

[Pity. They're such facinating creatures.]

Yes, there's no doubt about it. Triceratops have very distinctive bone structure. [Dairine stands next to him for a better view.] This one is a Triceratops horridus if you want to be technical.

[ensorceler]

[ Just about to pass the house on her abandonment of Spike and Once-ler, she has to stop and stifle a giggle at the strange girl's sudden apprearance and reaction. (And really, strange girl! That hair color, those clothes...) ]

Poor maiden, you suffered the same shock as I. I believe these houses are cursed and not to be trespassed upon.

[lord_wizard]

To be technical I'd have to understand the basics first. This is a real animal?

[gentleidealist]

[Lloyd's laughter is cut off halfway as he's dragged down. Eep! He tries to push away via kicking at Zelos' stomach.]
