The Selection: Semi-Advanced Roleplay discussion

A beautiful garden.

Audrey sat down at the edge of a large fountain in the centre of the garden, sighing to herself. It was beautiful here, certainly, but idleness did not suit her. She preferred to be doing things rather than waiting for things to happen to her... And that was all that seemed to be happening so far, here...

Louise decided to take a break in the garden to let her food settle before going for a swim. To her surprise another girl was out here to. A selected girl. She began to head into the girls direction. Louise has seen her around before now.

She let her fingers graze the water, and watched the ripples slowly ebb away. Nothing ever seemed to happen here... It was either silence, or the noise, the loud noise of all the girls rushing around...

Louise found where the girl was. She put on her brilliant smile.

" Why, hello there." Louise said

She looked up quickly, her eyes sharp, and then slowly relaxed. "Hello, your highness. I'm sorry, I didn't see you there."

"Oh, no worries." Louise began. " Please, call me Louise. You highness makes me sound like the royal snob it should be."

Louise loved to joke. But she was serious she hated the phrase ' Your highness'.

(( *your ))

"Of course... Louise." The name felt strange on her tongue, like she was becoming familiar with the princess of Illea, who she'd only ever seen on TV, before.

" I am ashamed to say but I forget name," Louise confessed.

She truly was ashamed. Louise spent an hour in her room trying to memorize each girls name and there appearance. Since, she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of the girls she even had her brother test her multiple times on that.

"I don't believe I ever mentioned it," she nodded. "Audrey Matthews. I'm a three."

" Well then Aubrey," Louise said with her sparkling voice. " would you like to come with my for a swim later today. Some other girls would be there, too. If you don't like that idea your free to say no. I don't want to stress anything."

(( You're a Mod right? ))

((It's Audrey, actually))

"Swimming?" She asked.

((Yep. Head mod, actually.))

" Yes, swimming. We really do have a great pool." Louise said.

(( Audrey! And, could you approve someone's royal Character so they could possibly RP with us ))

"Swimming in a pool?" She asked again, just to clarify.

((?))

" You got it," Louise said.

She thought that Audrey meant that as a statement but soon realized she was wrong.

(( Never-mind. Sorry for the confusion. ))

She nodded, slowly.

((Alright..."

(( :) ))

" So, are you in?" Louise eagerly asked.

She bit her lip. Refusing the princess was a foolhardy thing to do, so she nodded. "I would love to, Louise."

" Yay," Louise let out a sound of happiness & joy. " I will see you at the pool, soon!"

With that Louise left the gardens to go get her swimsuit on!

(( So, should we go to the Pool ))

((I think we have to wait for the prince to finish with the girls in the dining hall, don't we?))

(( oh, yes! ))

(( Got to go ))

(( Bow invited me over, so here I am. Hello. Do you mind if I join your role-play, Meli? Is that all right, if I call you Meli? ))

(( Louise is in the hallway, going to her room to get a swimsuit ))

The Queen walked out to the gardens to check on her flowers. She wanted to make sure they were alright, as it hadn't rained in a few days...

"It's quite alright. And, I do believe that if anyone was doing the interrupting, it was I as you were here first."

"Thank you," she nodded. She was very proud of her garden.

She smiled. "Thank you very much."

She smiled at the girl, and turned to her flowers.

Louise entered the garden holding a gray yoga mat with her intuitions on it. She eventually found the girls after about 2 minutes of searching.

" Hey girls!" Louise said happily. " Here are some waters." Louise said as she handed them cold water she got from the kitchen.

" Agreed. Shall we get our zen flowing," Louise teased. Shall was such a stairiotipical word that people expected the Royals to use.

Louise was unexpectedly good at sports. She was great at tennis, polo, yoga, horse back riding, and loves swimming. Yoga was one of her expertise. Louise laid out her mat and began to do complex move.
Her mat was soft underneath her feet. " Ally, Riley" Louise replied. " Do you think the other girls like me? I mean one girl was so very sharp with me. I don't want to give off the impression that you are my toys and entertainment. Because, your not. I just don't see many girls my age and I love having all of you here."

" That means a lot." Louise said. " So with that said can I stop acting like a princess. Please?" Louise begged.

" It is horrible when you have to go on live T.V. every week and people are always like, " Did you see that dress Princess Louise wore? it totally clashed with the white shoes!" WHen I hear things like that I am like, ' Gag me.' It is like someone who is a 5 doesn't get embarresed if her outfit doesn't match but of course I do. I'd rather be doing something productive than wearing a stupid tiara waiting for my maid to bring me my stupid dress and then have to stupidly put it on me. How stupid is that? I have 2 arms and 2 legs. Why can't I use them?" Louise complained. She always felt this way but pretended to love her life, for her parents and cameras.

" Agreed" Louise said. " Sorry, for being so open. I guess the Zennnn got to me."

The queen watched Louise interacting with the girls with a small sigh. She'd told her that they were here for her brother, not for her. And yet she'd been spending more time with them than he had.

" So," Louise began. " Oh my, nice yoga moves. Also, I must agree science is like awesome. " Right then she saw her mom. Watching them. " Hey mom!"

Louise smiled at Ally's comment. " So, mom!" Louise said. " How have you been? I've been having so much fun with the girls! Do you want to join us? Oh, also have you seen Phillip lately? I need to have a chat with him," Louise now had her regal and formal face on.

"Actually, sweetheart, I was hoping to speak with you. Alone."

" Oh, okay," Louise said. " Stay right here. I will be back to get my zen on again." She said to the girls. " Lets go over there." She pointed to a big fountain that was on the other end of the garden. " Please excuse my outfit."

"Of course," she said, although she didn't approve.

" So, what'ch you wanna talk about, mom?" Louise said now in a Louise voice not a Princess of Illea voice.

"I do believe I told you, Louise, that these girls are here for your brother? Not to be your playmates?"

" Yeah, well what am I supposed to do. Sit back and not welcome them? You don't seem to understand, mom, they came to the palace where we live. I have rights to hang out with people who are at the palace. If I am not I suppose you'd like my face not to be seen during there stay? I mean, thats what your asking. Right?" Louise said more sharply than she meant to be. She didn't care though. They weren't to be considered her play mates. These girls were her friends.

(( Have to go! I will be back tomorrow or maybe later tonight ))

"No. What I'm asking is that you do not go out of your way to 'be friends' with these girls. They are not intended to be your friends. They are intended to marry your brother. You are aware that 34 of these girls will be sent away? You do, perhaps, have a duty to welcome them, but what you don't seem to realize is that you take away their chances with your brother. If these parties do not stop, I may resort to eliminating the girls whom you seem determined to sabotaging, and locking you in your room until the wedding."

". You wouldn't dare. Why can't I be friends with them? It isn't a question. I know why. Now if you will excuse me I am on my way."' Louise said meanly.

"No. You will not be on your way. Because you don't seem to realize the consequences of your 'quest for friends'."
