001 - First Flower

[holyfight]

[There are little doodles in the margins of this post - robots and flowers and flying tigers and dinosaurs! It's clear that Orihime has been using her book as a sketch book in addition to its intended use]

Does this really show up to everyone else if I write in it? Can anyone else see this? If you're the owner of this book, I'm really sorry for writing in it! But I can't think of any other way to find you!

Hi! I'm Inoue Orihime! From what I can gather, I'm supposed to be a Flower-Queen's Daughter. But I don't know any queens, so I think there's been a mistake! If anyone knows who that is, please let me know! I'd like to return her book to her!

[Heeee. Those sketches are cute. And varied. Harry is quite amused at Orihime asking forgiveness after doodling on the book.]

Hello! My name is Harry.

[He thinks about it for a second and then draws a happy face.]

I'm new here myself, but I'm pretty sure that's your book. In this place we're supposed to become the figure whose name is on each of our books.

I don't exactly agree with the idea, but that's the information I have so far.

I'm supposed to be the wizard Merlin, by the way.

Hi, Harry-san!

I'm not sure how to be a Flower Princess, though. What do you think it involves? This book just has a lot of entries about dancing and dragons in it...

If you're supposed to be a wizard, does your book have any spells in it?

[awizardidit]

What does it involve? That's an excellent question.

[And he has no idea. Where is Bob when he needs him.]

Perhaps you could find out about it in the library. There has to be a story that contains your character.

My book doesn't have any kind of spell written on it. My guess is that I'm meant to figure it out. I'm still working on it.

[holyfight]

Our books are in the library? That's a great idea! I'll have to look it up!

Seriously? That's not any fun! How can you be a wizard without spells?

[awizardidit]

Some of the roles of the people I've talked with so far seem to be common knowledge. At least where I live.

[Then again, he's a geek.]

I know, right. I used to have a lot of them, but not a single one of them works here.

[His life is hard. He draws a sad face complete with a single tear.]

But I'll figure it out! I won't be defeated!

[holyfight]

That's the spirit! Don't give up, Harry-san! ☆*:.｡. o(*≧▽≦*)o .｡.:*☆

I guess I got a little more obscure one, but that just means hunting it down will be more interesting, right? Reading fairy tales is a lot of fun!

[awizardidit]

[This is nearly too cute too handle. He smiles as he writes, even f she can't see him.]

I can give you instructions to get to the library, if you want. Where are you?

[holyfight]

I'm in the middle of town by the fountain!

I'd really appreciate it!

[awizardidit]

Excellent.

[Harry draws a sketch to the library. It shouldn't be that hard to understand.]

Tell you what. I meet you in there and help you look. I'm curious too, now.

[kutanagi]

The book is supposed to be yours so don't worry about writing in it.

[holyfight]

I'm not really a princess, though! It's just part of my name!

[kutanagi]

( Yui doesn't even have that as a part of her name ... )

Being a princess is your role here in this place. So the book is still yours.

[holyfight]

But... how do I... be a princess?

[Worst. Princess. Ever. TBH]

[kutanagi]

( they can share this burden lmfao )

I wish I knew. I'm not even sure if I'm doing it right.

[holyfight]

Oh...

What are you the princess of, then? I think I'm supposed to be the princess of flowers...

[kutanagi]

I'm supposed to Kaguya.

I'm not familiar with the princess of flowers though. Have you tried the library?

[holyfight]

Kaguya-san? After she goes back to the moon?

Not yet! Harry-san suggested that, too!

[espigeonage]

[His writing is delicate but with a slapdash look to it, and on the small side.]

Salutations~!

Indeed it works! And it seems there are a great many mysterious royals around. I for example seem to be a Princess without a kingdom or particular history, which would rather surprise some people.

[holyfight]

But how can you be a Princess if you don't have a kingdom?

Were you exiled?

[espigeonage]

Maybe! Or kidnapped! It seems I am to live in the home of a witch, but I can fly in and out unimpeded. Altogether it's not making much sense. I suppose such is the way of fairy tales, is it not?

[holyfight]

[She only got one thing out of that]

You can fly?

[espigeonage]

But of course! I am a gentleman dove, after all.

[holyfight]

Dove? Oh! Like one of the talking animals here!

Maybe whoever kidnaps you just wants to keep you for a pet?

[espigeonage]

Quite, quite. Though I'm no native.

Perhaps! It would appear that I am supposed to become human if certain conditions are met, but things are not entirely clear.

[holyfight]

Your world is full of talking animals?! That's so cool!

Oh! I think I know how that goes! You have to kiss a princess to become a human prince, right?

...wait, you said you were a princess. Is it the other way around, then?
