[Voice/Text/Action] The little lady

[grizzly_tea]

[Maribelle is one of the many people on these oceans that has found themselves turned into a child, but she is one of the few who was quite literate at such a young age... well at least as far as this little lady is concerned.]

Dear Diary,

[Her handwriting is impeccable, but it seems she has the habit of saying ever single thing she writes out loud in her child like voice that is so similar to the one she normally has.]

I think I may have been kidnapped by pirates! I've never met a pirate before so I don't know really, but they're everything I think a pirate would look like... and there's the smell of disgusting fish in the air, and the sea, and I know that my homeland is landlocked! I wish I knew what to do, but I'm worried that my father will be terribly cross, and worse yet I think trying to escape on my own may be too dangerous. Later, I must remember to write out some plans to help me escape or I may be trapped here forever!

[With a melodramatic sigh and a few scribbling doodles of pirates being hung, Maribelle finishes her 'diary' entry with her signature.]



[OOC: Responses will come from little_belle and as you may have guessed, Maribelle has been turned into a kid, but only has her memories up to the point of age 7 or so.]

No, the foul villains must have taken me in my sleep. As such they haven't spoken to me since my kidnapping, and I haven't heard them speak any words of ransom yet... they might have sent a letter to my father though.

Are they allowing you to roam the ship freely?

[little_belle]

Well... actually I'm not on a ship. I managed to slip away from the tavern room they locked me in... they didn't do a very good job of it though. A-anyways, I'm hiding somewhere in town until I can find a way home. There's not telling what they might have done if I stayed.

[toziko]

You're not on a boat? If you're around commoners, just scream and yell until someone listens to you!

[little_belle]

Well... the problem is... it's kind of hard to tell pirates apart from commoners in this town. What if I end up just becoming another target?

[toziko]

Don't be a coward, just do it! -Obviously she hadn't started training as a strategist at this age.-

[little_belle]

O-Okay... wish me luck then!

[toziko]

With courage on your side, you won't need luck.

[little_belle]

Are you very courageous? I've heard most knights are, but I've never been a knight.

[toziko]

Well, I'm not a knight or samurai or anything. But I've read a lot of books!

[little_belle]

Ohhh! Are you one of those... um... tactful... no, tact ick? One of those people who lead armies?

[toziko]

Well... I am studying to become a tactician, yes. I want to be more than a wife to my prince. I want to be Taishi-sama's aid! Their partner! And while I may not be a soldier, I still have a pretty sharp mind!

... Or so I'm told, anyways.
