[Hello Luceti. You’re greeted by the sound of a journal opening and muttering. And in the far background, rustling. Like something is squirming around in the distance - wrapping, twining, growing.

We might have a problem here.]




Is there anyone in the village with extensive knowledge of fairy tales? We have a situation on our hands we could use some advice dealing with. [Or maybe even a rescue, but Law’s pride keeps him from saying that much - for now.]



Thorns. [Katara’s voice piped in.] Lots and lots of thorns. They’re growing and overtaking the house, and we’re not sure why.



We think they’re connected to a kidnapping effect. The lady affected has been in an unnaturally deep sleep for days and nothing seems to wake her. [Nothing. Not even beer bottles perched on her head. 8|a ] Has anyone heard of anything like this?

((This is an open post that can be fielded by anybody trapped in the house. Threadjack to your hearts’ content - Law’s journal is made to be snatched from him and anyone else who has it.))

[Sleeping? Thorns? Lady?

...He's no expert, but...]


That sounds like a classic story. What do you need to know?

O-Oh dear...ah. [ Helios sounds a bit worried... ]

It s-sounds like Sleeping Beauty.

Oh my...that does sound familiar. No princes on hand, I take it?
redjacketthief: (action-- taking a leap)

[personal profile] redjacketthief 2012-09-10 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Sleeping Beauty. A princess was placed under a curse upon her birth that would send her into a coma-like sleep when she came of age, should she prick her finger on a spindle.

Naturally, knowing these fairy tales, it took a gallant prince to wake her.

Lay a house on me and I'll be there with a machete and possibly my lips, hm?

We're fine, Aang. There just these... thorns that seem like they're trying to get in, that's all.

Why would we need a prince?
redjacketthief: (focused--with glowrod)

[personal profile] redjacketthief 2012-09-10 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, right?

Though, there's a catch. The prince needs to love her, and kiss her as proof of that love. That's what breaks the curse in the tale, if that's what you think the Malnosso are playing with.

Who is our beauty anyway?

[When thorns are trying to get in, he'll still feel a need for concern.]

You can't... take their water away or anything?

[...

He was going to find a way to get the Malnosso for this one. Nami had been abducted enough if the journals were an indicator. This was the worst that he'd heard.]


Goddamn them. Just--goddamn.

A deep sleep?

[...Uh oh. Ven knows exactly where this is going.]

Wait, I know what's going on! If it's anything like what happened to Princess Aurora, that means she needs her heart back.

Because such stories were popular even when the eldest of the gods were young. You have a sleeping maiden, wake her with Prince Charming and his true love kiss. Sweet romance~!

She needs a kiss.

[because everyone else is being obtuse and/or Masaomi about it gosh....]

[This reminds her of the princess and the frog (which reminds her of kissing Zuko which brings embarrassment) and a conversation she once had with Buffy about blood and kisses.]

...so a kiss should do it? That's what breaks the spell?
