Tired Mom

[thalassino]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Minako Aino, future star in the making here, ready to help you in anyway.

[By telling the best story ever of course.]

Don't worry about a thing, I'm sure I can handle it.

[thalassino]

[The mother turns to Minako with a look of desperation.]

Really?! Well, all right...

[She opens the door to her son's room. He's literally bouncing off the walls. It's going to have to be a damn good story to get his attention!]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[Minako steps into the room, determined and ready to go.]

All right you, if you want to listen to the greatest story ever then you need to settle down and listen, okay?

[aim_exorable]

[Darkleer just really she doesn't say anything about his outfit... Sob. He's left Arty a small ways away, however.]

Excuse me, Miss, I heard you needed some... assistance with your young one.

[thalassino]

[He's an adventurer. She knows better than to comment on his attire. Good move on leaving Arty outside though, no musclebeasts in the house.]

You have no idea. Please, right this way.

[She leads him to her son's room, where the boy can be seen literally bouncing off the walls. Hopefully Darkleer's not going to try to use his indoor voice at first, or he might not even notice.]

[aim_exorable]

[Well that is quite a child there. Darkleer slowly raises an eyebrow before sighing. No point in waiting, but he doesn't use his voice first. He just raises his hands and...]

[CLAP!]

[It's a good thing that Vatheon took away his STRENGTH or else that might have created a shockwave.]

I hear you like stories.

[replicatedcourage]

I've got a story!

[Sola wastes no time in popping his head into the mother's home, found easily not just through his uncanny sense of direction but because the kid bouncing off the walls can be heard far and wide.]

[thalassino]

Please! Please, come this way...

[The woman leads Sola right to the boy's room. Just make him be still for an hour or two. That's all she wants.]

[replicatedcourage]

Don't worry ma'am, we'll have fun and you can rest.

[He pats her shoulder, smiling, then heads into the boy's room and closes the door behind him. To get the kid's attention he plays a quick, trilling scale on his ocarina.]

Hey, wanna hear a cool story? It's got monsters in it and a hero who saves a princess!

[behind_my_smile]

[Telling stories? Fai has enough stories for many lifetimes. And certainly he could help a weary mom.]

I'll be more then happy to help! I've got stories of princess, vampires, ninjas, kings..and their quests! It's an exciting tale that spans across worlds.

[thalassino]

[She smiles tiredly, then leads him back to her boy's room. The kid has taken to banging pots and pans now.]

You have a visitor!

[All eyes on Fai!]

[behind_my_smile]

[Waves waves in a cheery manner. He doesn't mind kids at all. He's almost like a big one himself sometimes. He walks in and plops down, making himself at home.]

I heard you like stories! I have one that I hope you will like~

It all starts in a faraway kingdom where a princess was waiting for her prince. She was loved by all her subjects, but above all she was loved by one little boy who lived in the village. They were childhood friends and they were always by each others side. Until one day, an evil wizard cast a terrible spell! He made the princess forget all about her past and especially about the little boy. Desperate to save her, the little boy went on a quest to a powerful witch. The witch told him she would grant him the ability to get back the princess' memories..but it would come at a price. She would never be able to remember the little boy.

Determined, the boy agreed to the witch's deal. And she gave him three companions to help him on his guest! A little talking bunny, a friendly and loveable magician, and a grumpy ninja. Along with the princess these travelers moved across worlds, collecting her memories and fighting all kinds of perils. You see..the princess' memories were very strong and whomever had them was granted great power! So everyone wanted them and when they had them they refused to give them up. But the boy was determined to return the princess to her home with her memories intact and so he fearlessly battled all the monsters.

The travelers rode dragons, visited the moon, talked to ghosts, and even flew on air cars..all to win back the memories. They met many incredibly people along the way, some that helped them on their journey. As they traveled the princess made new memories with her new friends, including the boy she has forgotten. These new memories have become even more precious to her then the ones she lost. But both her and the boy dreamed of returning home.

[Fai pauses. The story from this point on could get rather dark. He decides it might be for the best to change things up from the story he knows. His smile still in place he continues.]

Finally they came upon the powerful wizard that had stolen her memories away! There was a long and difficult battle and all of them were very injured. But the boy had great strength and his love for the princess was the most powerful magic of them all. Summoning everything he had inside of him, he sent a powerful blast towards the wizard. It was the power created from his feelings for the princess. The wizard was defeated! And with that the princess and the boy were able to return to their home world. Grateful for all that the boy had done, the princess found that she loved him as much as he loved her. It was a love that was able to transcend worlds and dimensions and time.

And so they were able to live happily ever after together on their world along with their new friends. [Fai hopes that is how the story ends..]

What did you think?

[ms_potts]

[Pepper gives the mother her best sympathetic smile]

I've heard you need a hand with your little one?

[thalassino]

Please. Just for a little while, I just need a nap...

[Why she hasn't been able to get one is pretty clear: The sound of the boy bouncing off the walls is way too noisy!]

[oceanbreasts]

[ KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

KNOCK

KNOCK ]

I heard there's a kiddo who needs to calm his butt down and sleep for a bit? I've got a story guaranteed to knock him out.

[thalassino]

[That story better not be a bottle of wine, Roxy.]

Do you? Please, he's right in here...

[The mom leads Roxy back to the boy's room. He's currently running in a circle and making race car noises.]

Re: Tired Mom

[shesapir8]

[While she's never been too fond or sure around wigglers, points re points and dear god is her life a tale or too. This should be easy as pie.

And so when he rocks up in her cleavage showing rogue outfit to find the mum she doesn't really bother too much with pleasantries.]

Which direction is he in?

[thalassino]

[Woah there, lady! The mom looks a little taken aback, but she was warned that some real weirdos might come to her door after signing off on the quest. She's got to let her in, no matter how... intimidating she looks.]

He's, ah, right back here...

[She leads Mindfang back to the boy's room. He's currently practicing his tumbling.]

[fistfullofmagic]

[Oh look, it's a rather tall rogue. Don't worry, he's just here for storytime.]

Good day madam. I heard that you were in need of a storyteller?

[thalassino]

[He looks more reputable than some of the people she's had coming through.]

Yes, please. My boy's room is right this way.

[She's too tired to be polite. The mom leads him right back to the boy's room. He's quite literally bouncing off the walls.]

[stridercentric]

[Yes! Stories! Bro used to tell Dave stories all the time when he was a little kid. They were tales of incredible epic and irony, if he does say so himself. He's got this.

Knock knock, there's a Rogue on your doorstep.]

Sup ma'am. I'm here to put your kid to sleep with the best bedtime story of all time.

[thalassino]

[Bro, you're her hero. Especially if this story is a long one, she needs some sleep. Her bags have bags at this point.]

Thank you, adventurer. His room is right this way.

[She leads him back to the boy's bedroom. Right now he's banging on the lid of a trashcan and singing about it.]

[fightforastar]

Having a hard time getting him to settle down, huh?

I might know a story or two.

[thalassino]

[What a nice, normal looking young woman! The mom leads Tifa back to the boy's room with a relieved look on her face. The boy? He's busy literally bouncing off the walls.]
