[closed - event] i don't understand how you're gone

[adelicateflame]

Characters: the Damsels.
Date: They awake the morning of the 3rd.
Summary: The adventures of the captive damsels aboard the ship Labrys.
Warnings: None at this moment.

[The morning is rising, the early sun spreading streaks of red and gold out across the surrounding cloudscape, thin beams penetrating the wooden Labrys, spilling across its planks. It is an unfamiliar place that you will awaken in, one filled with the creaking of wood and the musical rattle of dried out bones. Did you think those skeletons carting you off in the night were a dream? Well, now you know for certain. Now you sit in a cage, cold steel surrounding you and cold steel at ankles and wrists. You are a captive.

And soon enough, your captor's shadow falls over you. Her dark hair is wind-tousled, her skin a silken brown. And she is smiling.]

Good morning, ladies.

INBOX ][ the PIRATE QUEEN

[bulletbitten]

[The one stop shop for your beautiful captor all event long.]

[notvitiligo]

[This is... new. Jessica swallows her heart down and looks up at her captor, face a bit less impassive than normal.]

...this doesn't really count as a good morning, in my opinion.

[bulletbitten]

No? You're not happy to see me.

[The smile is crooked.]

That hurts.

[notvitiligo]

Well, I have a hell of a cramp in my back, presumably from sleeping on a hard floor while chained up, there's probably no leftover muffins waiting nearby, and also I've been kidnapped. Again.

This is not exactly high up on my list of good ways to wake up.

[Jessica: Is a sarcastic damsel.]

[bulletbitten]

[She leans her forearm against the bars, the sarcasm rolling right off of her. It's an easy feat when you're on the outside of the cage.]

You have practice with this then.

[notvitiligo]

Well, I was already kidnapped by Her Majesty... Other than that, this is pretty much my first time for pretty much everything.

Well, except the ship thing. I'm assuming this is a ship, at least. Granted, that was a field trip and not a twisted sleepover.

[histrionic]

[Kuja isn't pleased at all, especially as her magic isn't working properly at present. (Yes, she knows it should have been taken from her to punish her for her horrible deeds in any case, but that doesn't mean she has to like it happening now.) At least her hair still looks as silver-lavender it should, but her tail is showing, though she's curled it up under her robe. Annoying appendage.]

What an inaccurately optimistic statement. [As Jessica said, there's nothing "good" about it.]

This is absurd. I demand to be released at once.

[bulletbitten]

Demand denied.

[She cocks a hip, her smile insufferably calm.]

[histrionic]

[Honestly, how irritating. Kuja's dungeons were vastly superior in every way, you have no idea, and the Invincible was a much better stolen airship.]

Regardless of your denial, I do not withdraw my demand. [She sees no reason not to be imperious just because she's a prisoner.] Nor will I cease to object.

And is there some point to this exercise?

[bulletbitten]

Objection was accounted for and declared negligible.

[Bitch please, you ain't more villainous than me.]

I'm waiting on a ransom.

[histrionic]

[As if you could be responsible for more atrocities than Kuja. Please. She fails to believe it.]

A ransom? [That's the plan?] And what do you hope to receive? The Queen draws in and discards people at random.

I doubt she notes us as individuals. She's bloated, indolent, and mad. [Kuja: not a fan of queens.] You might have more success if you attacked something she cared about.

[golden_gaytime]

[ Mugi takes a while to wake up. She had the most wonderful dream of being swept off of her feet with a pair of gentle, but strong arms under her. Carrying her off on a voyage of romance and mystery. Forbidden lovers, eloping in the night!

Ah, it was such a nice dream. Pity that someone had to wake her.

She cracks open an eye. ] Ah?

[ Yawning quietly, she brings a hand up to wipe at the corners of her eye... but she ends up tugging another arm along up with it. They both feel rather heavy and something is digging into the fabric of her pajamas. ] ...huh? [ Now quite awake, Mugi stares down at herself, then her surroundings. ] Oh dear.

[ Finally, she notices the woman standing outside of the cage and she bolts upright. ] Oh! G— Good morning?

[bulletbitten]

[Her smile grows as she watches the girl.]

Sleep well, princess?

[There's too much irony there.]

[golden_gaytime]

[ Mugi closes her gaping mouth. ] I believe so, yes! [ Another look around. ] Where am I?

[bulletbitten]

My ship, her name is the Labrys.

[golden_gaytime]

A ship? [ Looking down at her hands. ] And I'm... a captive? [ Back up at the lady, stars in her eyes. ] Then, are you the pirate queen?!

INBOX ][ the PIRATE QUEEN

[wipeoutthenoise]

[damnit are you serious.

it's really depressing that she's almost used to waking up in places she didn't fall asleep in by now.]

I have got to stop waking up like this.

[bulletbitten]

Bad habits are hard to break.

[wipeoutthenoise]

Ok then, I'll stick with what I normally do.

What the hell is going on?!

[bulletbitten]

This is a kidnapping.

[wipeoutthenoise]

[well at least she's straight-forward.]

Why.

[disillusionment]

[This is Kyoko. She has a murderous look in her eyes. It is probably fairly lucky for the Pirate Queen that she can't access her spear like this, really.]

What do you want from me, you disgusting creep?!

[bulletbitten]

[Insufferably calm, she just raises an eyebrow.]

How about a good morning kiss, sweetheart?

[disillusionment]

[An enraged snarl escapes her]

Hell no! I'd never betray Sayaka like that!

[bulletbitten]

Oh. One of those.

[She contemplates this for a moment before deciding,]

Who gives a shit.
