Character Roles

1. Princess
One day your prince will come... Or maybe you're going after him! Or maybe you've been cursed/captured/whatever and are in need of rescue! Those towers won't climb themselves, and those kisses that awaken you from a century of slumber aren't exactly cheap.

2. Prince Charming/Heroic Knight
You're handsome (hopefully). You're charming (you think). You have a great outfit (this is debatable). Regardless, it's time to go find and rescue your one true love! ... Er, wherever she or he might be.

3. Villian
Man, those two up there sure are annoying, aren't they? Maybe it's time to do some kidnapping, curse some royalty, plague a kingdom, or whatever other nefarious deed you might be thinking of. In any case, the truly important thing is to make sure your cape and collar are appropriately intimidating and black.

4 . Red Riding Hood
... Or whichever other cute little girl that roams the woods in her free time that you can think of. You're cute, you have a pretty outfit, and there's something growling in the bushes but whatever it is, it can't be too dangerous, can it?

5 . Wolf
You're a wolf. Or a bear. Or some other animal. Or some random person with animal ears and a tail. Maybe you're evil, maybe you're just misunderstood, but you still can't stand those annoying people that keep wandering around your forest. Maybe they're even in your house, eating your food! The nerve! Or maybe they just look delicious, who knows.

6 . Dragon
You're a fucking dragon. Maybe you've kidnapped a snack, maybe someone came to hunt you down, maybe some hobbit is stealing your treasure, maybe you're just chilling. You're a dragon.

7 . Witch
Bring out the hat and broomstick, it's time to get the cauldron bubbling. Good, misunderstood, evil, who knows what you are. Except for a witch. You're definitely a witch. Try to avoid shoving small children into your oven and you should be fine.

8 . Cheery Animal Sidekick
Cheep cheep! Boy that princess sure is pretty, huh? You should sing with her and do her chores for her and obey her slavishly- wait... Well, whatever you're doing, you're cute and small and mildly annoying.

9 . Cursed Prince
Life was just perfect for you, until you got on the wrong side of that witch/wizard/cheery animal sidekick pushed just too far. Now you're cursed! Into a beast? Into a frog? Maybe you have really bad acne now? It could be anything (seriously, anything you can think of) but luckily, the cure is simple. Find your one true love and get that magical first kiss.

10. Fairy Godmother
When your princess is in need, she's only got one person to turn to. Her fairy godmother. It's your job to advise her, help get her out of any scrapes she happens to be in, or maybe you got her in the mess to begin with.

11. Random Extra
Wow, all those other guys sure are weird, aren't they? You'll just get back to work. Even with all this nonsense going on, life continues.

The princess, the non-Chrome princess, clung to the prince's shoulders. She...well, she certainly wasn't Chrome.

"How are you feeling?" the little purple haired one asked.

"Um...awake?"

>>Awake is a start yeh? Yer...goin' te need some maids in,<< he noted. >>Chrome an I will jes...head on then?<<

The prince carefully peeled the awake princess's hand off his shoulder so he could hold her hands in his, then nodded. "It has...been a very long time I believe."

"Thank you for the shelter," Chrome said with a polite little curtsey, "Would you like us to tell the village that you'll need some people?"

"Yes, thank you, that would be very kind." The prince nodded again.

>>An' we'll have someone send food an such yeh?<< Jono offered. >>Te tide ye over until it's...stocked...here.<<

Aaand time to back off, now. Chrome patted Jono's head and started inching backwards so that the no longer enchanted couple could start getting to know each other.

He ended up almost snorting her skirts before he managed to pull his head out of the room, but then he was chuckling. >>Well, that went better than we hoped yeh? Bit of work te happily ever after but still...<<

"There always is." Chrome pointed out, "Lets pack up my things? We've been here a while, and I'm feeling stronger again."

>>Those parts are never in the stories though,<< he chuckled and flowed down the stairs. >>Still, yeh, best away. We ken stock up in the village again yeh? An ye ken show the medicine man his mixes worked!<<

"Well, no. People like to think things are easier than they are." Chrome agreed, leaning heavily on him. Stronger didn't mean strong.

At least everything was relatively tidy, she didn't like things being messy.

Tidy meant easier to pack! It wasn't long before he was wrapping his claws around a nice bundle. >>True, they do. It makes a good story though yeh? Somethin' te think is better or nicer than reality.<<

"Yes. People need that." Chrome agreed, wrapping up in her blankets again.

>>Yeh, people do,<< he wrapped careful claws around her blanket bundle and headed out the door. It was really just a quick hop to the village but still! >>Mebbe we could get ye a slicker? In case of rain again?<<

"Like an oiled cape? That's a good idea!" Chrome agreed, "I'll ask when we get there."

>>Yeh, guess that's what it would be here.<< What with no synthetic materials and all. Unless one counted magic capes or something. What were those made out of? He was almost curious enough to go hunt one down to pore over and...

...right, away from that tangent.

>>Anythin' else ye ken think of ye'll need? Best chance yeh?<<

She was silent for a bit, and then said, "Journey bread and maybe dried meat? Something I can snack on if we don't feel like setting down for a full meal."

>>Capitol ideas luv,<< He wheeled to angle toward the village. Hopefully they weren't as terrified this time around? >>An I'm not hungry yet, guess dragon metabolism's a bit off yeh? But I'll look fer mountain goats or somethin' the next time we cross some peaks.<<

"It was a big cow." Chrome pointed out, "Oh, goats are good to eat!"

There was somewhat less running and screaming this time, yes, and the apothecary didn't have to be shoved out of the inn.

>>Generally I'm only eatin' 'cause I don't want te learn the hard way I do need te eat...<< he chuckled, setting her down in her bundle of blankets then curling behind her. The safest place for her was between his forearms, right?

Totally not iconic dragon imagery or anything.

>>Alrigh' luv. Fill them in on yer needs yeh?>>

"Okay!" she said cheerfully, unwrapping from the blankets and dealing with the apothecary.

Who wouldn't let her talk until he'd finished pounding on her back, listening to her lungs, checking her temperature and pulse, and generally all the things one would expect out of a doctor with no machines to help him out. Look at the tongue, look at the back of her throat, peer into her eye.

Eventually, after a lecture on staying warm and dry, he let her make her requests and headed off with money to provision her, get the cloak, and refill her medications.

Jono shifted and rustled a few times when it seemed the guy was getting a bit rougher than necessary, but he managed to talk himself down despite that. He knew the importance of doctors after all.

Still. It wasn't exactly a comfortable several minutes for him.

>>People are startin' te annoy me,<< he admitted after the man headed off with money.

"In what way?" Chrome asked, turning to look at him with concern.

>>Not sure luv, they jes are,<< he shrugged, a motion that shivered through his wings like a small gale. >>Granted I was never the most social sort te start with.<<

"Hmmm. Okay, well. I'll try to do the talking to them so that you don't have to." Chrome promised.

>>Wouldn't be the first time I needed a mouthpiece,<< he admitted cheerfully as he settled his chin beside her. >>One time after a fight all us 'paths lost our telepathy yeh? Couldn't talk te save me life then.<< He'd been starting to learn ASL for Penny then but it hadn't been nearly enough.

Chrome leaned over and hugged his nose as best she could. "Well, you're taking care of me, so I'll take care of you too."
