⇨ THE PRINCE IS DEAD

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 178 - B1: Day 6
Where: The Carnival and sometimes on top of the Heart of Stone.
What: Now that the Prince is dead and gone, there's a lot left to sort out. As the remaining servants are liberated and those captured by the Prince are tended to, it's time for recovery and goodbyes.
Warnings: Nothing in particular.

HOME GROUND

At long last, it is over. The Prince is dead, and all of his stolen Names have been restored - all that's left to do is treat the wounds and move on. For the first day or two, the Ringmaster will be arranging passage for the servants that are left, all of which have remembered their names for the first time in years. The earth elemental that had been trapped and forced to serve as the Prince's manor, the Heart of Stone, is happy to help for the moment. It appreciates the Ringmaster's mercy, and is free after untold eons of imprisonment.

Yet, there are plenty of aspects that are far from simple. There are still servants left mad and transformed into beasts, with no easy way to change them back. The Prince's spells outlive him, and those bearing his poison and his curses will have a difficult road ahead of them. Though most of the bestial servants have been rounded up, and a large number that had been reduced to unmoving statues returned, even the Ringmaster can't return them to normal so simply.

The next week is for rest and for settling remaining affairs. If you want to bid farewell to any particular NPCs, or assure care is given where it's needed, now is the time to do it.

A CURE: The Ringmaster will tell everyone simply - there is no simple way to undo another fae's magic. The Prince's powers were essentially on par with hers, which means that those who have been transformed to stone and those that were cursed into beasts and driven insane are not something she can trivially fix. It will take the work of the carnival and a couple weeks of treatment to shed the curse of stone, and the maddened servants are an entirely separate matter. She will do what she can, but for the most part she is arranging for the Prince's servants to be cared for elsewhere. At least for now, the Ringmaster will be animating the stone portions of people's bodies with magic, though those portions will still be a bit clumsy and numb feeling.

THE NEW HEARTSTONE: In the absence of the prince, the Heart of Stone will be taking over the remains of the Prince's realm and preventing it from collapsing into void. As it turns out, the manor had been an earth elemental all along - a form of Wyld Fae almost on par to the Prince and Ringmaster themselves. How the Heart of Stone was enslaved is a long story presumably, but the Ringmaster considers it to be a sign of the Prince's own depravity. The Heart will be allowing visitors for the first couple days of this period through the portal, but keep in mind you are essentially just walking around on its body. At least the realm has a floor, now, instead an endless abyss surrounding it.

HEH...

Hinawa is busy. When she's not in the medical tent, she's in the kitchen. When she's not in the kitchen, she's at the trailers. When she's not at the trailers, she's back in the medical tent. She's been pushing a tea cart around all day, laden with food and drink for the sick, injured, and just exhausted, all while doing her best to ignore her own growing exhaustion.

She's headed back to the kitchen for a restock when a yellow flower pops out of the ground directly in her path, and all at once, she's wide awake. "Ah!"
wilt: (the choice)

Almost at once, he pops back into the ground.

But she already saw him, though... he couldn't brush this one off as a trick of the eyes. He re-emerged and he knows he should be forcing something else out if he wants to learn new feelings, but--

"Watch where you're going! I was almost paste!"

... Alas, he can't force himself out of his first reactions even if he knows that's exactly what he should be doing. It's just too tempting to be his old shitty self.

A talking flower!...Sure, why not. She leans around to address him. Part of her wants to remind him to mind his manners, but she's honestly too tired for that right now. And, well, it was her fault.

"I'm so sorry about that, dear," Hinawa says, apologetically. "I was letting my thoughts wander and I wasn't paying attention to where I was going!"
wilt: (metal crusher)

Aaaah, no, she sounds like Toriel. With his cacophony of poorly arranged emotions, he tries to bite back on the sad one, whatever that is, and-- Well, you can't bite back on the sad ones, he learns very quickly. He's not about to go to tears like he did on Papyrus, but his face is a little more melancholy now.

"Don't... worry about it. What's on that cart?"
sunflowerfields: (I'll never know)

[personal profile] sunflowerfields 2017-11-16 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well, she certainly didn't mean to upset the poor thing!

"Not a whole lot right now, but I think I have a few cookies left," She smiles. "Are you hungry?"

...Can flowers eat cookies.
wilt: (metal crusher)

Flowey's weird. He seems to have the physicality required for normal things; then again, monsters were made of magic. He nods. He hadn't really thought about stopping for food, not with his health still so high.

"... sure?"

What was human food like?
sunflowerfields: (Don't be long)

[personal profile] sunflowerfields 2017-11-17 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
She's fed dragons, skeletons, Pokemon, and who knows what else, so surely a flower could eat human food? Ith mean, he has a mouth.

"Here you are, I hope you like chocolate chip!" She kneels down and offers a big, chewy, chocolate chip cookie. Delicious.
wilt: (bergentrückung)

[personal profile] wilt 2017-11-17 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
He eagerly accepts the cookie, and, well... snarfs it down.

He practically has to juggle with it given his lack of limbs, but eventually the cookie is no more. This is... delicious. Not for the simple fact that it's delicious, but the fact that it tastes like nothing in the underground at all. As if he tried everything and everything that could be eaten and this is the first time he's experienced a new thing.

This feels like a feeling-- what is it...? That means this place is full of a lot of new sensations... not trapped beneath the Earth, making due with what they got. He feels a revelation.

"It's...! It's. Not bad." Flowey was still mostly negative, after all. "I guess I can rate it a five."
sunflowerfields: (While you're gone)

[personal profile] sunflowerfields 2017-11-17 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Hinawa grins at his attempt to be negative. "Ah, is that so? Well, that one was leftover from lunch, after all. I bet you'd enjoy a fresh cookie straight from the oven much more!"

More cookies, you say...?
wilt: (bonetrousle)

[personal profile] wilt 2017-11-17 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"-- Well, you probably need someone to taste-test them right? To make sure they don't turn out awful? I guess I can help you with that."

His facade is as see-through as a child's.
sunflowerfields: (Just what you meant)

a billion years later

Oh, it definitely is, but she's okay with that.

"How wonderful! I've been looking for someone to try out a new recipe I found!"
wilt: (your best friend)

[personal profile] wilt 2017-12-06 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"What new recipe?"

He stretches himself out to look over the cart, per cartoon flower anatomy. Nothing on here looked that strange...
