[ so shizuo's evil step-something-or-other has ordered him to clean the fountain. that he broke. the step-something-or-other may or may not actually be in luceti, it may simply be a vivid figment of his experiment addled mind. but here he is, in front of the fountain that he once broke. looking forlorn and morose, as most start-of-movie princesses

My step-father makes me clean this fountain every day. [ ... his foot is kind of stuck in the side of the fountain.

TUG. TUG. ]

[moezuo]

[ nah. it's cool. he'll just PUNCH it out. god, this is the manliest princess ever. he won't be getting glass slippers, oh no, they'll be titanium and he'll still somehow break the heels off. ]

He's likes to be thorough.

[Yusuke was walking around when he heard something startling. It sounded like a boulder breaking from a dynamite. The man certainly had to find out what was happening. After all, this rock-destroying noise could be a giant. He needs money. Surely a giant has many things... Like say... Oh... Gold coins... A goose that lays golden eggs... Maybe a golden self-playing harp... I dunno.]

Huh?

[Instead... He finds a prince...ess...? He's not sure. It's a manly looking princess anyway; if it is. Yes. It.]

... You're not a giant... But you certainly have the strength of one. What happened?

[moezuo]

I got pissed off. [ says the magical, does-not-want-to-be princess. looking every bit as agitated as before.

actually. maybe moreso. the water is now spewing out onto his shoes. ]

[ahardwiredheart]

[He wasn't sure what to think of this man. He is taller... And brutally strong... It confuses him. Yep. That's what his mind's thinking right now. But first, he's going to see if he can resolve this situation.
Right now, he thinks it could be that this taller man was in a dress. Might as well assume he's a guy. It's what everyone else would assume.]

Is it because you're in a dress? Or maybe because people don't accept you in a dress?

[moezuo]

It's because of this dress that I can't go to the ball.

[ he clenches a fist. his eyebrow twitches sporadically... he's not sure if he wants a nicer dress (after all, what sort of princess shows up in a suit?) but he's fairly certain he doesn't have the body type to pull off any sort of dress at all. ]

[mikangirl]

[SKLFSAS that's not the best of sights when you're heading into the plaza. Backpedaling just a little.]

Hey, easy! What did that fountain ever do to you?

[This...seems more important than the fact you're in a dress. Go figure. :|]

[moezuo]

Nothing. But if I bust it up I'll never have to clean it again! [ LIKE THIS IS THE BEST IDEA IN THE WORLD. ]

[mikangirl]

But why clean it in the first place. That's such a waste. [...here, let me get that piece of broken toothbrush for you.]

[moezuo]

There's no point! It's just to piss me off. [ THINKING ABOUT HOW USELESS IT IS IS ONLY MAKING HIM MORE ANGRY.

have another KICK you poor fountain - oh dear that chunk that flew off just dented the sidewalk. ]

[ledbythewind]

[And who should happen by but another blond in a dress! Except that this one actually looks more like he belongs in a dress. In true princess fashion, he's about to offer to help this poor not!girl with his task, when... suddenly Shizuo drives his foot through the side of the fountain and Richard is just left blinking. Well. At least he was sort of expecting this.]

Si-- Shizuo? Are you all right?

[Oh dear, oh dear. What if he hurt himself?]

[moezuo]

[ KICK KICK KICK BASH ANGRY AUGH. RAEG - wait, oh. 'sup man. ]

... Oh. Richard.

[ledbythewind]

Why are you kicking the fountain like that?

[Do you mind if he examines that foot? No? Good, because a princess can't just leave an injured person there without helping them.]

[moezuo]

Pissed off.

[ sure you can look. there's not a scratch on it. ]

[nothisbrother]

[Naoi's walking out of one of the stores, armful of groceries when he hears a loud crashing sound followed by a guy yelling. WELL. someone's sure pissed off at the world. But when he turns, instead of a man with dignity, he's staring at one...in a raggedy dress.

Okay so he just chuckled a little. It's pretty funny to look at.] What? Are you upset because they were unable to provide you with a better looking dress?

[moezuo]

[ THIS LOOK.

dude. do you really want to push this topic. ]

[nothisbrother]

[YES IN FACT HE DOES]

The look upon your face isn't all that elegant like a lady, it's no wonder you wear such a poorly made dress.

[moezuo]

What did you say? [ veins. popping. teeth. grinding. urge to throw... rising... ]
