week one, monday

[countermeasures]

[here they are in the library!




jiuqing is gathering up as many books as she can carry just in case she walks out of here and forgets it existed like they did at the trial. rip. when she spots ruby, she can't wave because her hands are full, but she smiles and greets her with a nod.]

Hello, Miss Rose!

[petalbursts]

[ she's currently sitting at a table, a small stack of books piled next to her, with one sprawled open.

she looks up when her name is called. ]

Jiuqing, hey there! [ she sees all the books and jumps up. ]

Oh, that's a lot of books, did you want some help?

[countermeasures]

...ah, if you wouldn't mind... I seem to have overestimated how many I can easily carry.

[she just found so many things she liked...]

What are you up to?

[petalbursts]

Of course, I don't mind at all!

[ she'll take a stack off jiuqing's hands, gently setting it on the table. ]

Me? Oh, just reading a fairytale to occupy my mind. It's pretty good so far.

[countermeasures]

A fairytale?

[she takes a sneak at ruby's book, curious]

What is it about?

[petalbursts]

[ nods! ]

It's about a princess with a curse, who gets locked away in a tower, so someone has to save her.

[ when jiuqing peeks at the book she will see this. (i am so sorry) ]

[countermeasures]

[im sorry is this shrek.]

I see... how interesting.

[petalbursts]

[ i said i was sorry!! ]

It is! There’s even a dragon that guards the tower.

[countermeasures]

How does she get out?

[how long does the princess have to wait for someone to show up and save her...]

[petalbursts]

I was actually just about to get to that part. Let me see...

[ she flips through the book and then pauses, her head tilting to the side and a look of confusion on her face. ]

Well...it looked like a prince showed up to save her, but then page after is missing??

[countermeasures]

...well, that's frustrating. Why would someone tear a page out of a book?

[hELLO. THEY WERE READING THAT.]

[petalbursts]

Maybe they didn't like how it was written??

[ or maybe they just needed something to wipe their a** ]

I can only assume the prince slays the dragon and saves the princess?? And they live happily ever after? That's how most of these usually go, at least...

[countermeasures]

...it would be frustrating to be the princess, just waiting around to be saved.

[petalbursts]

I agree! I'd be trying to find a way out myself.

[ she would try to befriend the dragon ]

[countermeasures]

[ruby is so valid]

I think I would too.
