Fairytale AU Meme [Open]

Pick one of my characters and I'll toss a disney/fairytale au scenario at you! I've got some rough descriptions of their roles below. You can start, or you can just give their name in a top-level and I’ll write something up. These can be shippy or not, although given the descriptions I’ll probably tend towards that way unless you tell me you don’t want that

Alec: Damsel in distress, suicidal, who thinks this whole thing is stupid and this story can be ended if anyone at any point just solves the problem of the ‘princess’ for good

Annabel: Necromancer, who tries to find love by bringing hers back from the dead

Dominic: Knight, who’s pretty sure that he’s supposed to slay the ‘dragon’ but might end up falling in love with him/her instead

I-No: The evil witch, finds delight in other people’s suffering

Ivy: The persecuted heroine, who badly wants to believe in love but doesn’t really believe that it can trump the facts of life

Kai: Prince charming, careful and earnest, hugely romantic who thinks that life’s course can be changed by love

Ky: Either the hero, earnest but not very good at people, or the damsel in distress who’s going to apologize for having to be rescued

Rose: Ghost girl, who will accept a coat in exchange for being able to touch and feel for a while

Sol: The dragon, why are you waking him up from his nap just to rescue a princess? He doesn’t have time for this crap.

Valentine: The evil king whose goal in all of this is power and also just seeing the ordinary people scramble

Just a friendly reminder! "Oh, certainly. But that all seems so far away to me. I general prefer to be more personal."

Known as a threat by most people in the business.

"Are you threatening to destroy the ship, ma'am?" Because when it doubt be direct, apparently.

[personal profile] stopinthenameofawe 2015-04-26 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently. The bluntness gets her to laugh. "I wouldn't say that. Just that in general I find more incentive to be good to those I am friendly with."

Which means she totally is if you don't start being nice to her.
arkbound: (unsure: explain that but make sense)

[personal profile] arkbound 2015-04-26 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
"And more incentive to be cruel to those you're not?" Dominic isn't giving up on this line of thought yet.
stopinthenameofawe: (Melissa [Amused])

[personal profile] stopinthenameofawe 2015-04-26 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
"What is cruel about it?" she asks, tilting her head at him and clearly amused, "After all, you would have me use it against your enemies, would you not?"
arkbound: (emotion: faith in adversity)

[personal profile] arkbound 2015-04-26 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Damn. He'd walked right into that one. "My King would." A pause. "So yes."
stopinthenameofawe: (Melissa [That's cute])

[personal profile] stopinthenameofawe 2015-04-26 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
He really did. "Then is it only if serves your purpose that it is no longer cruel?" she asks.
arkbound: (stern: try not messing with me)

[personal profile] arkbound 2015-04-26 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
She knows what his King thinks, and if she's so intent on getting Dominic's opinion then that's what he'll give her. "It's cruel either way. But I serve my King, and I do what he wishes."

"I see." She hums, considering something again. "What is it you do, when you are not striking deals with sirens?"
arkbound: (duty: dramatic pose)

[personal profile] arkbound 2015-04-26 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm a knight of the realm."
stopinthenameofawe: (Melissa [Cheers])

[personal profile] stopinthenameofawe 2015-04-26 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"And what do you do in the course of your work?"
arkbound: (duty: considering facts)

[personal profile] arkbound 2015-04-26 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fight dragons and the like." As close to a wry smile as Dominic can manage while treading water. "Serve as Ambassador."
stopinthenameofawe: (Melissa [On guard])

[personal profile] stopinthenameofawe 2015-04-26 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You stay away from her dragon buddy. "I see. Ambassador to who?"
arkbound: (emotion: faith in adversity)

[personal profile] arkbound 2015-04-27 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
"You, for instance. You're the only one so far, in fact."
stopinthenameofawe: (Melissa [That's cute])

[personal profile] stopinthenameofawe 2015-04-27 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
"So I'm your first? How cute. I guess that explains your technique." Melissa stop.
arkbound: (emotion: concerned)

[personal profile] arkbound 2015-04-27 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
He's going to sputter for a moment. He needs an adult. "That isn't what I meant."
stopinthenameofawe: (Melissa [Cheers])

[personal profile] stopinthenameofawe 2015-04-27 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
She's honestly a little surprised he even knew what she was talking about. "Then what did you mean?"
arkbound: (emotion: upset)

[personal profile] arkbound 2015-04-28 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Are you interested in negotiating or not? If not, then we're both wasting our time."
stopinthenameofawe: (Melissa [That's cute])

[personal profile] stopinthenameofawe 2015-04-28 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Melissa smiles. "I am negotiating. Have you not noticed?"
arkbound: (neutral: as he gets)

[personal profile] arkbound 2015-05-02 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
He huffs, his opinion of that clear enough. "Is there more information that you actually need to make your decision?"
stopinthenameofawe: (Melissa [Cheers])

[personal profile] stopinthenameofawe 2015-05-02 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, if you want me to to blunt about it..." She looks him over, tilting her head. "I'm wondering what the chances are of you upholding your end."
arkbound: (emotion: this could get bad)

[personal profile] arkbound 2015-05-02 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Very high. To be honest, ma'am, your methods and connections are unknown. That makes it too dangerous to risk angering you."
stopinthenameofawe: (Melissa [Cheers])

[personal profile] stopinthenameofawe 2015-05-03 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
"I suppose that's true." Sirens keep themselves shrouded in mystery for a reason, after all. "And you know I would only be able to hold that up for me personally, correct?" There are other creatures out here... if a ship crashes, it's not always because of her.
arkbound: (duty: considering facts)

[personal profile] arkbound 2015-05-03 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
"I think that would be enough." But it usually is. Dominic is pretty sure about that.
stopinthenameofawe: (Melissa [That's cute])

[personal profile] stopinthenameofawe 2015-05-03 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Hm... then I accept." It will be interesting, to say the least. And she's been here for a long while; if she needed to move, it's about time for her to find somewhere else, anyway.
