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

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.

[ She does get it! ] It is rather exciting, don't you think? It is like an adventure! [ ...her perspective is just skewed. ]

[wipeoutthenoise]

[oh for the love of...] Ok, look. I have no idea what's going on in your head right now, but this is not a good place to be right now. If the Queen doesn't give her what she wants, we're either stuck here or about to be chucked overboard. It is not some fantasy adventure, ok?

[golden_gaytime]

[ Mugi shakes her head. ] But except for being kidnapped, we haven't been harmed, or even threatened. [ At least, she wasn't. ]

[wipeoutthenoise]

...You're not listening to me, are you? [siiiigh.] The fact that we're being held for ransom is a thread.

[golden_gaytime]

I know we will be rescued. I believe in that! So that is why I am not worried. [ Because the prospect of everyone being swept up off of their feet and carried home just has her thrumming with excitement. ]

[wipeoutthenoise]

[You are hopeless. Neku has officially decided this.]

You don't know that.

[golden_gaytime]

I have faith in the others. Ky, Fionna, Larry... I know they and others would not just let this happen. [ She is strangely calm about this, even for her. Ordinarily she might have felt some kind of panic but... thinking this was all a dream and believing that, if something happened to her, she would just wake up in her bed at home? It changes her perspective. And she has believed this for so long that it is difficult to parse the true depth of the danger they might be facing. ]

[wipeoutthenoise]

[You're so zen-like about all this that it kind of freaks her out. Knowing that she's convinced this is a dream would help. Neku just sighs and tugs on her hair.]

That wasn't really my point...

[golden_gaytime]

I'm sorry that you feel so distressed. Is there anything I can do to help? [ Like make tea? ]

[wipeoutthenoise]

[She's not even sure how to deal with this level of calm. Or ignorance. She's not sure which it is.]

Not really.

[golden_gaytime]

If you think of something, will you let me know? [ She smiles. ] I want to explore the ship some more.

[wipeoutthenoise]

Uh... sure.

[seriously she has no idea how to handle this.]

[golden_gaytime]

Until next time. Please, be well! [ Mugi bows — though she is really just reaching down to hoist up her weight so she can carry it. It... doesn't look all that heavy to her at all. With another smile, she turns and heads off to explore another part of this lovely ship! ]
