01, journal

[ryuuhime]

[ Kosuiryo's found a nice place to sit on the edge of the fountain, her journal open, a fork in one hand and a pen in the other. She's smiling mirthfully, obviously very happy and perhaps a tad overexcited. She's been this way since she first woke up in town and found that she was not in her room, in her bed, in the Ryugujo, where she'd fallen asleep the other night. But to wake up on the Surface?

Something Wonderful.

She writes: ]

To my good hosts,

This child would like to give thanks for this wonderful chance you have given her. I never dreamed that such a wonderful thing could happen, but this chance I have been given is real as my father's throne!

I hope my good hosts do not mind if I remain on the Surface. I will do my best to help your efforts and if there is anything you need of me, ask, and I will do what I must to get it for you. You have the word of the Water Dragon Princess.

Are you sure? Maybe you're just not trying hard enough. You should give it a shot right now!

I would not overstep my boundaries of the wind god. Not when he was so kind as to tell me the name of my family's hero. [ Plus, he's supposed to be a pretty nice guy. ] And if it were to be possible, I would not want to disturb this little town. Not when my hosts have been so kind to me.

Lame. Can you do anything else instead?

Written;

[ryuuhime]

[ Lame? Is he saying she's injured? ]

I do not understand. Why would you call me "lame"? I am not in any way injured or ailing.

Written;

[to_theleft]

Are you kidding? Your potential for awesome is injured and ailing. You should do everything you can to fix that.

Written;

[ryuuhime]

But to do so would be potentially dangerous. I would not want to upset my hosts.

Written;

[to_theleft]

And that's lame, but also why I asked if you can do anything else instead.

Written;

[ryuuhime]

I can do many things. [ She's starting to feel a little uncomfortable. ]

[to_theleft]

You're not very good at being cool or awesome, are you.

Written;

[ryuuhime]

I feel that you are making fun of me. Have I upset you?

Written;

[to_theleft]

You said you were a 'Water Dragon Princess'. Dragons are supposed to be cool! Water dragons are supposed to be even cooler.

Written;

[ryuuhime]

[ She supposes that "cool" is another form of "awesome". ] Do I have to use my powers for no reason but amusement?

Written;

[to_theleft]

No, but you have to actually have some. Even if you don't have any, you should make some up.

Written;

[ryuuhime]

If it is all right with you, I would rather not use my powers this moment.

[Hikaru changes abruptly from writing to talking, having gotten fed up. Written words cannot contain the same amount of disdain as his voice!]

I didn't say you have to use them. Are you stupid or something?

Audio

[princelycharm]

[Don't mind a certain blonde suddenly hearing the conversation from the ship's deck and scolding the dark haired twin.]

Hikaru!

[Stupid is a mean word!]

Audio

[to_theleft]

What? I'm busy, Tono; go away.

Audio

[princelycharm]

Who are you talking to?

And why are you calling who ever it is stupid?

Audio

[to_theleft]

Some idiot dragon-princess. She can't decide if she doesn't have any powers or if she just doesn't want to use them! [It's hard to tell if there's more disbelief or agitation in his tone; they're both pretty equal.] How stupid is that!

Audio

[princelycharm]

A dragon princess? Does that mean she's large and a dragon... and with a crown?

Maybe she doesn't really have any powers?

Audio

[ryuuhime]

[ They're talking about her as if she's not there. Kosuiryo definitely feels insulted but she's too much a noble lady to say something about it. Instead, she answers the question not exactly directed at her. ]

I am unable to transform at this moment. And I wear no crown. Only my parents, the King and Queen, wear crowns. [ Though they're more like circlets, not as decorated as the European crowns, but quietly tasteful all the same. ]

It would be impossible to judge whether or not I have powers if you are unable to see me this moment, is that right?

[How rude of him.]

Forgive us, Princess. We did not mean to be rude.....

Audio 2/???

[princelycharm]

Did you just say you can transform into an actual dragon?

Audio 3/???

[princelycharm]

...with wings?

Audio [E N D]

[princelycharm]

[He is now exchanging looks with Hikaru.]

How can a princess be a dragon? We need to see this...!
