the cactus kid (11)

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[Minnie was going about her normal day in the castle, but as she went into the kitchen, there came a horrible SNAP! She then shrieked in pain, naturally heard over the journal.]

Owww! Ow ow ow! Oh my goodness, what in the world - ow!

[For those who walk in the kitchen, they'll find the tip of Minnie's tail caught in a mouse trap. it looks quite painful, and Minnie for all of her tugging can't get it off.]

Who would leave such a dangerous thing laying around - ow! Ow! Let me gooo!

<sub>[The king had come in to fetch himself something to eat, enjoying the physical act of getting it himself rather than simply wishing it up. No matter how much he said it did not bother him, wishing like that still unnerved him.

He sees her Majesty in distress and pads over with quick decorum.]</sub>

Hold a moment, miss, and let me get it off for you. Tugging will only hurt your tail more.

_{[For the moment, he is ignoring the fact she is a giant mouse.]}

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[She sighs with relief, glad she's getting some aide. Also giant mice are totes normal dotchyaknow.]

Oh, thank you very much.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Oh yes, of course. This IS Paradisa of course, and he rides a dragon horse. A giant mouse is rather mundane compared to all that.

He comes over, kneeling down, tucking his green robes beneath him, Minnie being much smaller than him and his six foot height. He gently took the trap in his hands, peering at it a moment.]</sub>

Ah, I think I see how to release it. Be prepared to pull your tail out.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I'm ready whenever you are!

[She's still wincing a little, but won't whine anymore. She needs to be strong!]

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[He nods and his long, elegant fingers press the release pin, the trap opening up for her to move her tail.]}

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[She quickly tugs her tail away, then pets it.]

That's much better...

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{{Ashura releases the trap again and sets it up on the table as he rises.]}

There. I wonder who left that there...

Does your tail perhaps need ice?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little... If this was another castle prank, oooh!

[pout pout pout]

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

The castle is cruel, but I do not think it is this sort of petty cruel.

_{[He goes to fetch a rag and puts ice in it, and leans down to hand it to Minnie.]}

I am Ashura-ou, by the by.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[She takes it with a smile.]

My name is Minnie Mouse. It's very nice to meet you.

[and she curtsies.]

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[He nods his head to her in his version of a bow.]}

Nice to meet you Minnie. I am glad I came upon you at a fortuitous time, else your tail came to more harm.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I'm very grateful! Is there anything I can do to thank you?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Well, I was going to have tea and maybe take out my pets, if you care to join. A good conversation is always enjoyed.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

That sounds absolutely splendid!

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[He smiles and fetches a small basket, putting in a pot of tea and two cups.]}

This way.

_{[He heads out, where two creatures are waiting outside the door of the kitchen - a Flareon and an Espeon.]}

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[She blinks, surprised to see them.]

Oh, my. I've never seen pets like that before.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

They are called 'Pokemon'. The red and yellow one is Agni, and we have not yet named the purple one.

_{[The two mewled and wagged their tails, following Ashura and Minnie as they headed down the hall.]}

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

What beautiful animals! It's very nice to meet you both.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[The Pokemon turned and yipped at her, then bounded down the hall, playing and batting at each other with their owner looking on with a fond smile.]}

Thank you. You'll have to forgive them being to frisky - it has been a bit since they were last out.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I don't mind. Back home, I have a dog named Pluto, and he's just as playful.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Might I ask where your home is? I find myself always curious about the other worlds represented here.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

My world is the Disney Kingdom. It's a wonderful place, filled with such kind people.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

It sounds lovely, Minnie. You must miss it.

Ma'am? Are yo- [] ... Would you like some help?

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[She nods fervently-]

Yes, please! I can't get it out!
