Room -202, seconds before IT happened.

[rose_liberated]

[At long last, a Princess has found her way to to her room. Surely, the staff have noted her power, grace and dignity and assigned her a beautiful space suitable for someone of her rank and digni-ty.

What. What was this tiny room? It had a pair of bunks, but the top one looked liable to collapse onto the lower at any moment, and the mattresses were sagging dangerously! And worse still were the telltale signs that someone else had already moved in and taken all the space in the closet, leaving HER DRESSES on the floor where the prinnies had shrugged and dumped them.]

1. [Action: Rozalin stands just outside her room, eyes narrowed in disbelief. Veins bulge. Trigger fingers twitch. A bomb is ticking. And soon, it's going to explode.]

2. [VOICE:]

WHAT MOCKERY IS THIS? HEADS WILL ROLL, DO YOU HEAR ME? I WILL NOT SUFFER THIS INSULT!

Comments

[mooned_hime]

Oh my.

You have my condolences, then.

[rose_liberated]

...I take it YOU have a mansion?

[mooned_hime]

Apparently I do, yes!

But how did your mansion end up being burned to the ground?

[rose_liberated]

Let us just say that shortly after I was summoned away, ninjas attacked and destroyed it. Only one of my servants survived and he is not here.

[mooned_hime]

How rude of them! I do hope they suffered the proper repercussions.

[rose_liberated]

Well, as it turned out things were rather complicated. They had legitimate greivances, but I was still left living in a place nearly as bad as this!

[mooned_hime]

How odd. And there was no way to resolve things without burning down your home?

[asks the person who gets burned by Mokou on a regular basis where she comes from]

[rose_liberated]

Fubuki was both blind in a literal and figurative sense. He would have done anything in pursuit of my alleged father.

...like I said. Rather complicated.

[mooned_hime]

I see! What did he want with your alleged father?

[Kaguya will just keep asking and get the full story if Roz lets her... such is the amusement of an immortal]

[rose_liberated]

Oh, the usual for a ninja whose clan has been almost wiped out-bloody revenge tinged with suicide.

[mooned_hime]

I'm afraid I am not familiar with what would be considered the 'usual' for such a thing as that.

[rose_liberated]

Nor am I, but both of the examples I am familiar with were prone to diving into missions that would kill them in pursuit of that horrible man.

[mooned_hime]

Oh dear. I take it you weren't very close with your alleged father, then.

[rose_liberated]

He was only alleged. In fact, it was I who slew him. His gifts and baubles were merely to distract me from my gilded cage and imprisonment.

[mooned_hime]

What a terrible alleged father! At least you were able to able to enact proper retribution in the end.

[rose_liberated]

...Yes. I only wish it had been more...satisfying.

[mooned_hime]

Why wasn't it...?

[She can get behind that, though. Sometimes her Mokou kills aren't particularly enjoyable.]

[rose_liberated]

Even demons have emotions and family ties. We might not show it like humans, but it's much the same kind of emotion.

[mooned_hime]

[she wasn't really questioning emotional attachment of demons at all. Thinking demons can't have such things sounded silly to her]

Oh my... so you do regret what you've done, then?

[rose_liberated]

Not at all!..but now I am completely without any family at all, since my real parrents were murdered when I was just an infant. It seems I am cursed to be a being of solitude.

[mooned_hime]

[That gives Kaguya a short pause. She wasn't exactly in solitude herself, much less while in Gensokyo, but there was the fact that she would outlive everybody she had back home at some point. Except Mokou, but... yeah]

... I understand how distressing that can be. My condolences.

[rose_liberated]

Yes well. Enough of the exposition. I have a bill to pass.

I wish you luck, and I hope to take tea with you, if it is offered at some point in the future.

[mooned_hime]

My newest pet is quite adept at making tea, if a little dangerous at actually serving it so I think I may indeed offer it in the near future.

Unless you would like some tea now.

[rose_liberated]

Alas, I must decline. I really must attend to legal matters with the Dark Assembly.

[mooned_hime]

Very well. I do recommend not expecting a quick response, however.
