OMETOTCHTLI

[soulping]

[when you insert the key and open the door, you'll find inside the room looks like the living room of a mansion - the space bends on the walls, but there is a single door that leads to another room; though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent. the room is painted baby blue and a gold-plated cradle sits in the room.

inside, a baby cries - high pitched and noisy, though immediately a nurse comes in to rock the child back to sleep.]

-

[slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby sits up, trying to climb out of her cradle; a little toddler dressed prettily with expensive clothes beams pleasantly; a tantrum, thrown by the little girl who's distressed; the little girl holding a puppy, pleased as punch; then the wall becomes opaque.]

[in the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 sits on a chair, smiling at you. a golden retriever is curled up beside her.]


[this is your little girl. you couldn't help spoiling her, honestly - after all, she's a noble too, and she should like to become a princess as well. she deserves it. but you also know, with how your history's gone, she's going to have to work to get to the top. but you have faith in her - she's your girl, after all.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[love_seriously]

So this is my daughter, huh? Even though I'm way too young to be a parent...

[but look at that face, awww. grins back at the girl.] Well, she's pretty cute, so she definitely takes after me! And now I just have to get the prince to notice her- easy! We'll win this one for sure!

Re: DISCUSSION

[mysterioustype]

...Well, if it's a proper education they want.

[love_seriously]

We just need to make sure she's awesome at everything, right?

[mysterioustype]

If we're trying to catch the eye of a prince courtly matters need to be taken into account as well as personal talents. A well rounded background would be ideal, yes.

[love_seriously]

So we should just split it up evenly! There's three kinds, and eighteen classes, so that's, um...

Re: DISCUSSION

[echomyheart]

I'm too young to have a kid!

Re: DISCUSSION

Re: DISCUSSION

[echomyheart]

Re: DISCUSSION

[mysterioustype]

Re: DISCUSSION

[love_seriously]

[someone hasn't been told about cats sry]

Re: DISCUSSION

Oh! I'm not a teammate, I'm a Cat.

Re: DISCUSSION

Ohh.





What's that?

CLASSES

[soulping]

What classes do you choose to have your daughter take? Will you give her free time?

You may choose from Charms class, Martial arts class, and Math & science class.

You have 18 classes to schedule for.

Re: CLASSES

[love_seriously]

[6 martial arts, 6 science, 3 charm, and the last 3 for a free time every other day. Don't want to wear her out!]

Re: CLASSES

[soulping]

Your daughter goes to Charms class. Here, she learns manners, refinement, and elegance. For some reason this week, she's in top form! Your teacher writes a letter for you praising your daughter; "C'est magnifique! Your daughter's dancing, c'est parfait!" your daughter's teacher said. Unfortunately you don't speak French, but you get the idea they're really impressed.

Your daughter gains +15 charm.

Your daughter goes to Math & Science class. Here, she learns arithmatic, algebra, physics, and chemistry. Everything goes smoothly.

Your daughter gains +18 intelligence.

Your daughter goes to Martial Arts. Here, she learns self-defense, meditation, and endurance. For lack of better term, she's. . .not doing so well. She hurt her knee at the beginning of the week and it just keeps getting worse. Ouch.

Your daughter gains +6 diligence.

FREE TIME

[soulping]

As you have some free time with your daughter, what do you propose you do together?

Re: FREE TIME

[love_seriously]

[Floe will spend time playing with their daughter and her dog and just being super super playful and affectionate. There will especially be lots of playing with dolls and dressing up and girly stuff.

Since daughter hurt her knee in martial arts, Floe will let her lounge around and take it easy and will fetch her whatever she wants- or rather, she'll try and get Kyouya and Tabby to fetch whatever she wants. 8Db]

Re: FREE TIME

[mysterioustype]

[Kyouya's not fetching anything!!!

But he will have tea with her. He's not the best example of "dad" though, but tea seems like a start.]

MORAL DILEMMA

[soulping]

[You find yourself in a moral dilemma. . . your daughter has found an older male friend that she likes, who happens to like her back. That in itself is not a problem, but she is beginning to spend more time outside without letting you know—just the other day she did not come home until midnight. You know this male friend is also a bit shifty—he's considered a playboy among your circle of gossiping middle-aged parents. But your daughter believes everything will be alright, truly he loves her.

What do you do?]

Re: MORAL DILEMMA

[love_seriously]

[after much discussion, walking over and taking the little girl's hands]

Okay, listen up, Tempie! We don't care who you're friends with, but you're still really little, you know? We love you very very much and we want to make sure you're safe and sound, and we can't do that unless we know where you are and what you're doing! So from now on you need to get our permission first before you go anywhere, okay? Keeping secrets and sneaking around like that is bad, and we need to be able to trust you.

Also! You need to be home by curfew until you're older. You said you wanted to be the princess, right? I promise we're gonna make that happen, but it's gonna be a lot of work, so you need to get plenty of rest for your classes! It's no good if you're tired all the time. It sucks but we're doing this to help you so don't be mad, okay?

And, um...for now, your friend...

[STARES AT KYOUYA, you handle this part bro]

Re: MORAL DILEMMA

[mysterioustype]

[WHY ME]

...If it's your wish to become a princess, unfortunately you must keep in mind the manners of upper-court. A princess doesn't keep in the company of men alone, regardless of who they are. Let alone someone older than she.

That's why, for now, until the time the prince has chosen his princess we cannot allow you to spend time with him alone. It's in your best interests. We will allow you to visit him, so long as it's supervised.

Or you cannot see him again at all for the time being.

These are the options that we can give you right now. We'll let you choose, but if you fail to do either we'll have to resort to other means. Such means will not give you such a freedom.

Re: MORAL DILEMMA

[love_seriously]

You don't have to be such a grump about it...

But yeah, that. It's for your own good, I guess.

Re: MORAL DILEMMA

[soulping]

Your daughter listens carefully, taking in every word. She understands now—it's not good to be out by herself, though she doesn't see what the dangers might be. Still, she'll be sure to diligently report where she is, and make sure she gets home early. . . even though she really likes this boy. She does want to keep her parents' trust.

She understands that she must have the manners of someone worthy of the prince—even if the prince isn't as cute as her friend, she will try to do her best. . . she would prefer being able to see this boy supervised than not see him at all. She doesn't seem to have learned what's so bad about this, but she understands that she must behave a certain way in order to be accepted as a princess—and now that she really thinks about it, she wants to be a princess more than she wants to spend all her time with this guy.

Your daughter's moral compass is neutral.
Your daughter now has a fair temperament.
