STRUCK

STRUCK
Your palms are sweating. Your knees are weak. Your stomach feels full of butterflies hopped on uppers, and you swear your heart may just be planning a rebellion to liberate itself from your chest. But don't worry. You're not dying - well, you are in the metaphysical sense, yet that's neither here not there. No, you're just feeling insanely attracted to the person in front of you. This isn't love (maybe), so no need to jump to conclusions. It's perfectly natural to be drawn to someone, to be completely swept off your feet for a moment or so.

Be sure you don't fall ass-backwards and busy your head open, though. Blood's not a good look right now, especially since your cheeks could be sporting all the red you'll need.

[ooc: yes, she does.]

[Robb did not know what caused him to stare at the blond, pretty girl across the field. Her hair was waving in the wind amongst the many flag banners. Stark, Baratheon, Tully. They were all waving amongst each other in the field of the tourney. It was a grand occasion and Robb had sought company away from his men to focus on the blond girl standing alone. She looked very out of place. A vast palace might have befitted her more than a dank, cold field.]

My lady? Are you unaccompanied?

[It was easy for Myrcella to let her attention wander at times like these, when her presence was more for appearance's sake than anything else, and so when she was spoken to she turned with a rather startled expression, not having been expecting the question.]

I may as well be at the moment. [Meaning her alleged chaperones were otherwise occupied, not that she minded.

I haven't seen you before at this tourney. Might I ask your name?

[ The huge hole in Tadashi's nerd school? Yeah, her bad. A fight went awry, a few systems crashed—she crashed, obviously. Although Tadashi might have been reluctant to repair a machine made for combat, she's slowly getting back up on her feet. After all, she doesn't want to fight anyone either. Especially against someone so... so...

Is there a word for him in her database?

In any case, a gesture of gratitude was in order. This totally explains why his lab is filled with cats. Alisa throws her arms up in the air to greet him. ]


Welcome back, Tadashi!

According to the data I collected, you like fat cats.

[ She projects a montage of videos of Tadashi and Mochi, the family cat. They seem to have been shot from the same window in the span of a few days. ]

Cats have been popular on the Internet since 2007 and appear to make humans happy. Thus, I ran a search throughout the city for the fattest and cutest cats, but was only able to gather the top 100 results.

[ How can he say no to a smile like that? He laughs first, crossing his arms and then nodding; agreeing with the research. ]

Cats sure are popular, aren't they?

But this is a bit too much. It's not so bad, though. It's-- fun?

[How about a crown prince and knight from a major world power in an original setting? Could AU them together basically saying they're opposite sides of the globe, although Eyuin is (mostly) a much higher-magic setting, but it has magic-impaired regions and Westeros could be one of them. He could be in Westeros for some reason (e.g. as a knight-errant looking for wrongs to right), or his family could have brought her to Kaitheny to provide amnesty, or whatever else you might want to do!]

[personal profile] northernbird 2015-07-30 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[I can go with either! So just roll with whatever you feel more comfortable and I'll happily follow.]
knighterrantofthedragon: Alric looking aside pensively (pensive)

[I don't really know the GoT details that well past 1st season of the series, so I'll toss out a prompt and you're 100% welcome to tweak it and fill in gaps, set a GoT canon point, etc, to make it make sense, or just poke me if I need to make larger changes!]

Alric had been traveling for some time on his Errancy, pursuing his declared quest: to return to Kaitheny with a token of goodwill from each of the sovereign nations of Eyuin. Unfortunately, Westeros had proven to be in a far greater state of turmoil that he had anticipated, by the time he arrived. Without a clearly proper sovereign to speak with, Alric had elected to survey the political situation--better to seek the goodwill of all potential candidates, in so chaotic a situation, than to take sides naively as an outsider.

It was in traveling Westeros, seeking audiences with those in power, both to establish goodwill and to learn more about the circumstances, that he came across Sansa. She, clearly, was in a precarious situation of her own, and as advantageous as it might have been to remain completely unaligned, he couldn't very well leave her to her situation. Rather--with her permission, and acknowledging the presumption on his part--he extended to her his protection. If that meant escorting her to somewhere in Westeros where she could shelter safely, he would not hesitate; if it meant extending amnesty in Kaitheny and taking her with him, he would make the arrangements.

For the moment, it likely meant serving as her bodyguard, asking in return only her perspective on the recent upheavals in the Westerosi political landscape.

[Everything's okay! And you'll have to excuse me for my lateness; things have been a little busy irl.]


He was gallant and kind, as honorable and true as any knight worth his oils should be. Or at least that's how he chooses to be seen. Joffrey was much the same at first, was he not? Whatever the truth behind the handsome face, his coming had granted her new levels of relief, what with the King busy courting his future bride and -for now- heeding the advice of the Queen and his Counsel, so eager all to find on this errant prince a new ally to strike with against the North.

And so she grants his desires and allows herself to claim him as champion, Shae's watchful eyes never far away from them as they walk through the gardens, blissfully empty for once.

"I have heard the King intends on holding a Tourney to celebrate your coming, my lord".

[I'm assuming you're going for sometime shortly after the end of S2, just poke me if I'm mixed up. And no worries, just looking forward to some RPs!]

It was something of a thorny situation in which to find himself, politically. Although on the surface it wasn't exactly a succession crisis--this was the son of the king, after all, so if anything it seemed to be a smoother succession that the previous--there were aspects of the situation, including that emerging internal conflict, which gave reason to suspect something more was amiss. One did not court war with one's own nobility lightly, no matter how antagonistic they might be, as much as Alric could understand how one might be tempted. Something, clearly, was amiss.

That he should be taken as champion to the nearly-Queen-to-be was a peculiar enough arrangement, but the way he was clearly under constant watch from her handmaid only served to emphasize the nature of their circumstances. Still. However awkward, he smiled, took it all politely in stride--at least, outwardly--and did what he could to be a reassuring presence. If nothing else, it seemed that was something that might serve the unfortunate young lady well.

He raised his eyebrows, just a bit playfully, glancing aside at her.

"...does he, indeed? Quite an honor. I confess, it's been some time since anyone volunteered to be beaten senseless in my name, and truly seldom has a king made the arrangements. It does seem that His Majesty, and his mother, have made every effort to be gracious hosts."

How gracious they've actually been is another matter, but no need to say that explicitly. Of course, with Joffrey crowned, there was also no need to even mention his mother, except to subtly underscore her somewhat obvious involvement in political maneuvering.
