Third Shard [Action]

Once upon a time...

There was a prince who was locked in a tower. His kingdom had been conquered by a dark king who was known for his ravenous greed, and he sealed off the prince from his people whom he loved. Alone and desperate, the prince was overwhelmed by sorrow until a miracle appeared. A swan had come to his window, and her feathers concealed letters from the people he missed so dearly. Day after day, the swan returned, bringing him more words of hope and well wishes from his people. These letters helped to rebuild the prince's heart, and he started to have hope again. One day, the swan decided to fulfill that hope. She lent him her wings, and with them he soared to freedom. The wings wore down as he reached land, and the prince was free to lead his people again. It was only then that he realized that by giving up her wings, the swan had trapped herself in his place. She was never seen again, and with that, all of the happiness that the prince had found began to crumble away.

In fact, it is said that this prince never smiled again...

[Today, Mytho's wandering around town has something closer resembling meaning to it. Sure, he doesn't live near enough Duck to immediately notice her absence - nor does he come across her path on a daily basis. But he's still searching for her, without stopping. He goes around various locales around the town such as the library, the bakery, the fountain and most places around the plaza. And throughout his search, he specifically looks sad. He had felt that heart shard return to him the previous night, and that emotion - the emotion of sorrow - has been weighing on him ever since.

He will often stop passerby to ask them:]


Excuse me. Have you... seen Duck?

[Or, he may instead ask.]

Do you know... where Tutu is?

[Everyone knows Duck and Tutu, right? But all along, in a way, he knows. They're both gone. He's been able to feel it, ever since he woke up. He's not sure why both Duck and Tutu are associated with his feeling... He just knows that it feels like a piece of his heart is gone.

The search is over when night falls. He sits at the edge of the fountain, wallowing in this sorrow. And wishing he had the strength to try to dance.]

What would you do without Tutu? [She almost said Duck, damn it all.] Are you doomed to only the few feelings you have now?

That's why she must still be here.

[Another frown dawns on Yuan's face. That's an odd remark to make.]

Did other people think she was weird?

[With the way Mithos braces himself against passers-by when picking his way through town, you would think it's because they target him for (unwanted, unnecessary) interaction all the time. But few ever actually breach that line. So when Mytho affronts him with a question, he almost seems startled; he hides it, along with any hint of recognition when he realizes who this boy is.]

Why would I?

We can look for her, or try to send her a message using your book.

Alright. [And she's got out her own. Now to make a filter to Duck. this will take a short while, but she's not going for the best ever]
fortunefail: (Grump senses tingling)

[personal profile] fortunefail 2013-09-04 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see. [Yuan can't stop himself from wondering if she was weirder than this kid.]

Well regardless, I haven't seen her.
bubblywishes: (Uh...)

Tutu?

[A thin eyebrow raises up in confusion, but Norma was really more talking to herself. Why would a guy care about a tutu? I mean...sure, the kid kinda looked really girly and feminine, but that doesn't mean he'd prance around in a puffy tutu or something, would it? There are male ballet dancers, she knows this, but they usually just wear leotards and tights or something. Not...that other stuff.]

Uh--I men, when was the last time you saw her? Duck, I mean.
godbent: (Is just as obsessed)

[Well then, filter done, and-]

Hey Duck, are you here?

[And now she looks at the recorded thing on the journal to see--- Filter failed. Well, that proves it.]
untrueheart: (nevermore)

[Duck isn't like Mytho. She's about as airheaded, but she has the frustrating tendency to turn up right when and where she's needed.]

We can certainly try. What did you do with your book?

[personal profile] ex_tessen852 2013-09-05 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that isn't pleasant, but it's still important to feel it. If you don't feel the bad emotions, you'll never know if you're actually happy.

[personal profile] ex_tessen852 2013-09-05 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not really sure how your emotions work. [Being blunt.] But I'm guessing you'll feel it soon. [Hopefully.]

It's difficult to describe, but it's a feel like, um... like it's the opposite of what you're feeling now.
