Forget all your troubles

[You wake up and instantly realize something is wrong.

There is a vague feeling of dread hanging in the air and, as comfortable as this bed is, there’s just something off about everything, even before you open your eyes. The dread only grows when you open your eyes and realize that you are in a completely unfamiliar room. One that has clearly seen better days at that.

As you explore your room, you will soon find a bedroom key resting on the dresser along with a note]


Welcome, esteemed guest, to our humble abode. We hope that you enjoy your stay in this Phantom Manor, as we expect you to stay with us for a very long time.

Feel free to make yourself at home as you enjoy what this manor has to offer, whether it’s the library, our projection room, or our famous wax museum. We’re sure you will find great joy

However, before you can get too comfortable, we ask you to please come to the portrait gallery at noon so we can discuss your stay here.

We eagerly await to meet you.

-Your Host


[The uncomfortable feeling doesn’t let up as you leave the safety of your bedroom. The manor seems old and decrepit, almost like it would fall over at the slightest breeze. Despite that, anyone who tries to escape will soon realize that the walls are unusually sturdy, and there are no doors that would seemingly lead to the outside world.

Still, at least you’re not alone in this scenario, if the other bedroom doors are any indications. Maybe there are a few more people coming out of their bedrooms too, so you have someone to talk toif you want to try to figure out what's going on. But if the 30 bios in the foyer hall are any indication, whoever has you here did not do this on accident. Whatever you’re here for, it seems like you’re here for a reason.

But hey, what’s the use of being pessimistic about this? Maybe it’s all an innocent situation… right?]

Hey, I can relate. I didn't know mice could talk until recently. I think magic is one of those things that happens when it's supposed to. Instead of, you know. An age thing.

[This is also a new point of view for him but he's just started his happily ever after (technically for a second time) and gets to give fairy-tale morals.]

Don't worry, I think I get it now. Faith, trust, and Pixie dust.

[She just went through her self-realizing journey. It's okay, Kit.]

But I guess there's still a lot I have to learn about. I don't think Neverland had a talking puppet, or a "beast".

[Oh good, they've both had their requisite character development. That means they're part of the cool kids club!]

It does sound like a place they'd fit right in, though.

[Aww yes, they're in the best club. Surely nothing can go wrong.]

It does, doesn't it, what with the mermaids and the pirates. Even with all the danger it did have it's charm.

[...oh, right.] Wait, I should probably be giving you a better welcome shouldn't I? Since you are a prince!

[Well, he wasn't going to say anything. He's used to people treating him with a certain level of deference but he doesn't entirely expect it. 'Entitled' is, miraculously, not something one could call Prince Kit. His smile goes a little tight.]

Oh it's... it's alright. I'm just a guy, really. A guy who is also a prince.

[Really, his best interactions come from people who don't care at all where he's from. Look at Cinderella. Him being a prince was pretty secondary to the fact that he was just nice to her.]

Oh come on! A guy who is also a prince is worthy of some respect. I think?

[She thinks?? She's never met any royalty before. But the thought of it is pretty exciting.]

Are you related to the queen?

[personal profile] holdthetrumpet 2018-01-17 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[That's... a question.]

My mother was a queen, if that's what you mean. But there are a lot of queens, at least where I'm from, from all sorts of different places.

Not that I've met very many of them.

[For a diplomat he was kind of a homebody?]

[It really is!]

You haven't? Strange. Well, how about this: are you related to The Queen? The... queen of England, I mean.

[personal profile] holdthetrumpet 2018-01-17 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no!

[Well. Not closely, anyway, but there's already three Frances and if we try and puzzle out how interconnected the various monarchies are it's just going to be a fucking mess.]

Though I've heard it's nice there. A little rainy, but rain's not so bad.

[Hey maybe Britain is just another France where Kit is from. You never know.]

Oh.... I guess you're really not from there then. It's not exactly... nice there, right now.

[Every country is France. We solved it. He's from the France Universe.

Though Kit is... to say he has no real concept of the idea of multiple universes is putting it lightly. This is a lot to try and take in.]


I guess the world is just a lot bigger than it feels from inside the castle. Or maybe we're behind on the news.

[The france universe is obviously the best universe.

But then again, Jane is still running on the assumption that everyone is from the same world. Her own. It's not working out.

Well, I should think so, if you haven't heard about the war.
