[Voice/Action] Return of Jay the Beautiful

[unseenspy]

[When Jay wakes up, he finds himself in (surprise!) a princess dress. He looks at his journal with a sigh.]

Not again...those Malnosso just can't get enough amusement from things like this, can they?

I wish I could find my prince...but where do I look? Well...at least Moses isn't here to kidnap me again.

[Regardless, he's going to make his way to the clothing shop. Perhaps he can find something to at least cover up the dress, since taking it off won't work.]

[OOC: So here we go, Princess Jay with thought bubbles!]

[On his way to the item shop he may hear a gravelly, but sincere voice coming from somewhere near the ground and if he looks down, he'll see a skull staring up at him.]

Excuse me, I just wanted to say that's a beautiful dress and wish you luck in finding your prince! May all the forces of ev...EVI...agh!, Forces of good help you in your quest!

[Jay jumps back, holding the dress tightly to his legs.]

Ahh! Don't look up my dress, you pervert!

2/2

[unseenspy]

...Um...thank you.

Wait...what was that he almost said?

I'd never do something so rude as look up the dress of a young lady!

[Thought bubbles here too]

As if I'd want to look up there.

I said I hope the forces of...of... Argh! What's going on?! good aid you!

[unseenspy]

Maybe not intentionally, but...how did that thing even know?

What...what are you?

A talking skull, obviously, but how is that even possible?

[evildoorstop]

I am Murray! The Mighty Skull! Might I have the pleasure of your name?

Pleasure?! Argh!

Not that I car-need to know if you don't want to give it to a stranger like me.

[unseenspy]

"Mighty Skull?" I wonder what makes it so "mighty?"

I am Jay, princess of the Oresoren kingdom.

...!! I can't believe I just told him that...

[evildoorstop]

A princess! ...I would bow but I'm not very bendy...I hope you'll forgive me!

Wait! Bow?! Never!

[unseenspy]

Oh...there's no need to bow for me. I'm so weak and frail.

...Wait, no, I'm not!

I've been kidnapped so many times by bandits and dragons...

Not that many times! It was that stupid bandit!

[evildoorstop]

Everyone has hidden strengths. [Soothingly said.]

Like me! Bwahaha! But not her.

Dragons are very powerful. Most people wouldn't be able to stop them.

Definitely not a weak little mortal like this.

[For a moment he starts to sound excited, but then sounds more in awe and fear.] Powerful and wicked!

[unseenspy]

Hidden strengths...?

Even me?

But there are heroes who can defeat those dragons, too. Like a prince...

I don't even know what "prince" I'm looking for...

[evildoorstop]

Yes! Well...Princes do seem especially good against them. I wonder if they have special dragon fighting powers.

Maybe that will make her feel better. Wait why do I care?!

[unseenspy]

I think it's their intelligence that gives them the edge.

No doubt. Even I've defeated dragons before. I hate experiments like this...

Yes, why does he care? Or why does he not care? Argh, which is it??

[evildoorstop]

Ha! Intelligence? How much intelligence does it take to track down a dragon and hack at it with a sword? I'm sure you could do better.

Do dragons even exist? If I could ride one...Murray the Mighty Demonic Skull sitting on top of a dragon as it rages through the sky, breathing fire everywhere! [There's suddenly an image of a very evil looking large skull sitting on the back of a red dragon.] Hehehehe

[unseenspy]

Of course, any fool could hack at a dragon with a sword, but actually defeating it would take intelligence. Like knowing the dragon's weaknesses, using the terrain to your advantage, and other factors.

Now that sounds more like me...

[But the princess begins backing away timidly at the image of the red skull on top of the dragon.]

Um...

[evildoorstop]

Is something wrong Your Highness? [Concerned!]

Ha! Is that fear?

[unseenspy]

Oh...nothing. [He's such a terrible liar.]

I can see its thoughts...a big skull riding on a dragon? That's not the same skull, is it?

[evildoorstop]

...Is it me? I can be scary. I don't mean to scare people, but it is a lot of fun, hehehe people don't seem to like skulls much. Hey!

[unseenspy]

Hmm...it can't be helped, I suppose...

Does this skull know where I can start looking for my prince?

I really shouldn't stay too much longer...

[evildoorstop]

Prince? Are you still looking for one? Why? Maybe I can help instead!

And find a dragon!

[unseenspy]

Really? How can you help?

He's just not handsome enough...for starters.

[evildoorstop]

What do you need a prince for?

[unseenspy]

Well...to love me...to protect me...

What the hell? I don't need all of that!

[evildoorstop]

Ergh, love? Maybe I could protect you and send enemies running away screaming in terror! Bwa ha ha! I know I'm just a little skull, but company alone can do a lot!

Protection? Ha! But she could let me get around more easily...does that dress even pockets?

[unseenspy]

You? Protect me? How can you protect me?

Honestly...

[evildoorstop]

Scare people away? I can be a lot more terrifying than this! That part would be fun, but argh! Why am I still talking to this princess?

[unseenspy]

[That actually makes him chuckle. The skull can certainly scare people away.]

Well, I suppose you could do that. But do you have a way to get around without arms and legs?

Why do I even care?

[evildoorstop]

Er, no...but no one has ever complained about me being too heavy...At least I hope I've never been a burden.

And if I was, it was one worth having! What's better than a powerful skull anyway?

[unseenspy]

So people actually carry you around?

What a worthless skull...

[evildoorstop]

Once in a while, and I try to help them out in some way in return!

Wait, does that say worthless? Feeble mortal, how dare she?! You're the one who wants a prince! How pathetic is that? I know I can't compare...

[unseenspy]

I could think a lot worse if I wasn't dressed like this...

I could carry you, I suppose, but I don't know where to go...

[evildoorstop]

Where were you going before, princess? [All manners!] Or perhaps you're not sure? It could be a grand quest for two partners bound together in a fateful meeting!

Questing with a princess. And I thought certain pirates could be bad.

[unseenspy]

I didn't have anywhere particular to go...

Oh, why must I endure this...?

[evildoorstop]

Ha! Then maybe you'll be guided by fate to your prince! Perhaps you won't have to endure this difficult time for very long.

Ill fate maybe.
