((More than likely a Beast-like role from Beauty and the Beast.))

[missingache]

((roxas is not wearing a dress for this.))

[darkbreak]

((Hey his role is set and a dress would look awful on him.

Someone's gotta wear it, Roxy!))

[missingache]

(( 8||| So where to start this))

[darkbreak]

[It's getting worse and worse as time goes by. It's evident in the state of the castle and surrounding areas. Gardens and trees that were once so lovingly taken care of are now so overgrown they almost conceal the building. Tattered and dirty clothes and furniture coated in dust are all that seems to remain inside anyways. Anyone that could have helped Riku deal with all this was pushed away or left on their own accord.

Which is all for the better, he thinks. As he runs through the grounds and into the nearby forests surrounding it, it's's better that he's alone. All the instincts that come with this strange chimeric body that gets less and less human each day almost seems... inviting. It's almost tempting to just lose himself in the beast.

He's been cursed for far too long. He isn't a fledgling lord anymore. Hasn't been for a very long time.

Luckily for him very few people seem to venture out of the village and towards his abode. Honestly, the curse has progressed so far that Riku isn't even sure he'd know what to do if he stumbled upon a normal human.]

[missingache]

[Why he had wandered into the woods? Roxas was starting to wonder that himself. Something about mysteries and a possible cursed castle? Yes, that was it... Now that he's been wandering around all day, the blond was really wondering if there was ever any truth to these stories. Maybe having found a strange story in an old journal and the townsfolk backing up these claims shouldn't have been listened to.

At this point it was time to turn back and head back home.

Roxas stops and looks around with a frown.]

.... where did I come from?

[darkbreak]

[Sounds like someone can't make it back just yet.

Riku is still oblivious to the news of there being someone in his woods. Sure this stronger nose can smell Roxas's scent, but so many people pass through the woods without trouble, and it's hardly as if he can just him for help like a normal person.

So for now, he's not worried.

But what does catch his attention is a small gathering of wolves, who do seem to take notice of the young human. Riku cab spot them from above on his hill, a perfect vantage point. Normally other animals don't bother him nearly as much, but weaponless humans are a different story for them.

They make a move, heading towards Roxas, and Riku follows suit, keeping himself in the shadows as he does.]

[hit me with that Little Red Riding Hood AU bby <3 ]

let me make this cute as heckie

[missingache]

[Once upon a time, there was two little brothers in a village by a forest. Whenever they went out, they both wore red cloaks. Their collective nickname was the Little Red Riding Hoods, though the villagers still tended to use their names since you can't call both of them the same name without confusion.

One day their mother sent them on their way to their grandmother, who they hadn't seen in a while. Their mother packed them a basket and sent them on their way, telling them not to dawdle. Which probably was going to happen no matter what happens...]

... Sora, are we lost?

THE MOST CUTE

[destiny_key]

Um...?

[Sora looked up from where he was gathering flowers, his arms full to the brim with the wildflowers that grew in the forest. Grandmothers liked flowers, right? That had been his train of thought, anyway, when they had stopped by the trail to pick them.

...Where was the trail, anyway? They must've wandered away from it.]

...Maybe? Do you remember which way we came from?

[missingache]

[Grandmothers don't need that many flowers!!!

Roxas sighs in irritation, looking around.]

No... I was trying to keep an eye out for wolves and stuff. You kept going further and further into the woods!

[Meaning that in the long run he was trying to keep an eye on Sora and lost track of their location.]

[destiny_key]

Oh... Um, whoops?

[Sora grins awkwardly, trying to convey silently his apologies. Not only had he gotten himself lost, but his brother as well. They'd probably be late, now.

He adjusts the flowers in his arms and looks around.]

What should we do? Pick a direction?

[missingache]

[Sora, put the flowers down.

Roxas looks up at the sky, not a fan of the fact that the cover was blocking out most of the sky.]

It's not like we can use the light... sure. Let's pick a direction.

[redigere]

[How about Rapunzel? Or, even though it's not strictly a fairy tale, a KH version of Moana?]

[missingache]

[Oooh Rapunzel would work! Does this mean Namine gets to be a princess? :D]

[redigere]

[YES finally, as she was always meant to be, though ngl the idea of Roxas being Rapunzel cracks me up. Should I write a starter for you? :3]

[missingache]

[Grumpiest Rapunzel. One day this should be played. XD And yes please!]

[redigere]

[The days that her father is gone, everything is quiet. When she was younger, Naminé relished it, more than happy to keep to a corner and draw to her heart's content, or braid flowers into her long, long, long hair-- but now that she's older and more self-aware, she hates the quiet. It is oppressive where it was once companionable, and represents everything dull and muted and unloved in her tiny tower room. Which is why Roxas' visits are so important to her. He brings her smiles and laughter and conversation. There is the constant fear that her father will catch him and drive him away, but when Roxas visits, she forgets that she should be afraid at all. He brings the outside world to her, fills her full of wonder for it. Naminé is always waiting for him at the window on the days he visits, to greet him and ask what kind of story he'll tell her today. Except today, she's not at the window. Instead, her little bird friend Sora is perched on the sill standing guard, and upon noticing Roxas, he chirps into the tower room.] Ah! [And now she appears, looking distraught.] You're early...!

[missingache]

[Finding the tower had been an accident. In the long run it was a nice accident. Naminé was very different from the girls Roxas knew, and that was without counting the very long hair into the occasion. She was nice to talk to, and each visit was a complete delight.

Today he had indeed arrived early. He had some news, and a gift, to share with her. So with a smile he nods till he notices her expression.]

Do... you want me to come back later?

do you wanna smooch a mermaaaaid~? ♪

[thirdbeauty]

[The princess had always been so well-behaved. She rarely did anything that would get her in trouble. Yet, while her kind tended to remain far away from the surface world, she'd strayed far enough one day to catch a glimpse of those mysterious humans that inhabited the land. Well, actually, it was only one human visiting the beach that day... and he kept coming back.

He wasn't there every day, but Natsuru was. In the shadows of the rocks or hidden out in the waters, she observed the beach and watched for the pretty young man. At first, it was just curiosity about what a human might find interesting about the border of their worlds, but she soon found herself wanting to learn more about this boy. She risked moving closer each time, until... finally, one day, a nearby splash would catch Roxas' attention.

Natsuru had been using a rock as cover, but she'd slipped and fallen back into the water, unfortunately disorienting herself in the process. Her scantily clad top half pokes out past the water, fish tail flailing in the sea foam. Seeing Roxas' upside-down face looming above her, her own face turns a deep shade of crimson.]

Ah-?!

[This is not the first impression she would have wanted to make. Of course, it's been weeks, and she may not have hidden her presence as well as she thinks. Perhaps Roxas knew there was something out there, and he's only seeing her properly for the first time...]

H-... Hello?

[She shyly waves with a wiggle of her fingers. It's all she can do to keep from melting into an embarrassed puddle of awkward and slithering back out to sea.]

[missingache]

[The beach had been a draw to Roxas since he was little. Waves, water, the sound, everything about it was soothing and nice, even in stormy weather. Dipping into the ocean when it was hot was a bonus, too.

Mostly he'd been going when the weather was too cold to collect seashells. Finding just the right one could take all day baring that it didn't have an inhabitant inside. Those would get put back as soon as they were found. The beach also had something he could never shake...

He'd always had a feeling someone was watching him...

The loud splash had drawn him to the waters edge, kicking off his shoes as he headed into the surf to find not at all what he expected.]

H-H... Hi...

[Oh god his face feels so red and he's dying this is too much there's a mermaid a real mermaid in the water what will he do????]

[thirdbeauty]

[He's not the only one with a red face. Fun fact, mermaids can apparently blush! And she has the shyest, most awkward little smile right now. She can't help but find his reaction really cute! Help!

It feels weird seeing him all upside-down like that, so she quickly moves to right herself, propping up a little on her elbows so she can still look up at his face. This is the closest she's ever seen him. She always thought he was pretty, but it's hard to even look at him now without blushing and feeling a flutter in her chest.]

I-I'm fine! I just slipped...

[She shifts her weight so she can tuck soaking wet locks of hair behind her ear. She's just... dodging the whole issue of him being human, as if she hopes that by acting normal this whole situation will become normal. But she's doing it, she's talking to the cute human boy. Help.]

[missingache]

[He's going to die not only is this girl a mermaid, she was incredibly cute. Internal screeching is at an all time high because not even the cute girls at school will talk to him unless it's Namine and Xion. Something about him looking disgruntled all the time...

He manages a deep breath, crouching down to be more at her level, to be polite.]

Y... You didn't get hurt, did you?

[How does one talk to a mermaid and how does he keep his eyes from wandering downwards. Eyes! Focus on her eyes!]

[thirdbeauty]

[It absolutely does not help this poor boy that so little of her torso is actually... covered. Plus her skin is still wet enough to glisten in the sunlight. As awkward and shy as she seems, this is not one of the reasons why.]

M-Maybe I scraped my tail a little on the rocks. But it's fine, really!

[She can't believe this is happening. She's meeting a human, a really cute human, and his first concern was that she might have hurt herself when she slipped. She knew Roxas was kind just from watching him, but knowing that is different than feeling that kindness directed towards her.

Before she knows it, she's blurting out a hasty introduction while glancing down at the beach.]

I'm Natsuru...

[She's looking away while she says it, but she shyly turns her eyes towards his again to see his response.]

[missingache]

[Nope. Glistening skin is not helping. It's making it worse because those little snatches of light just scream "LOOK THIS WAY". Being a hot blooded male would get him into trouble one day. At least he wasn't one of those who would harass her or anything. Comfort is important! And consent of course.

He does still look a bit concerned, but nods.] If you're sure... I don't think I could help with that. I-I've.... never met a mermaid before.

[TOO

CUTE

STRIKE HIM DOWN NOW]

R-Roxas! That's my name. Roxas. It's nice to meet you, Natsuru.

[That may have sounded a little automatic. He's nervous. Forgive him?]
