[Hubert, on the other hand, has hated the role of Evil Queen since the beginning. What he hates more the urge to be one. He can't get out of the bloody outfit (coupled with the ridiculous crown) that clearly does not belong on boys.

Even if the people here are from different worlds, he won't chance others seeing him like this. His pride is on the line.

It's a miracle his sanity has put up with this madness for so long. Or it could be chalked up to the effects of the experiment, which has gotten to the point that he's side-eyed Cheria meanly in the past few days. Cheria, who's all fine and dandy and content with the situation and herself. And she's fairer. Apparently. When even someone like Pascal claims this to be so

[It takes a while for Cheria to notice the yakitoridon. She's just so absorbed in her 'conversation' with the animals that she barely pays attention to her surroundings. Of course, the smell will eventually reach her nose, guided by pleasant drafts of wind.

She looks up with a curious expression and her eyes fall on the yakitoridon.]

Ohh... Excuse me for a moment, will you? [She pushes herself to her feet and approaches the lonely dish. For a moment, she does nothing but stare at it. Then, she comes to the conclusion that someone must have left it there for her. It isn't exactly a secret that yakitoridon is her favorite.]

My, I don't know where it came from, but someone left a present for me! How wonderful! I'll just help myself.

[And then she crouches down to take the fork.]

2/2

[asterism_angel]

[The moment the first bite touches her tongue, she knows something's wrong. A strange tingling sensation spreads from her mouth to the rest of her body. Then she feels herself growing faint. Her vision darkens...

And she loses consciousness, hitting the ground with a dull thud.]

[mistyarc]

[In the far, far back of his mind, Hubert wants to just reverse all of this. It's stupid and harmful to those close to him. He both hates and loves himself right now and everything feels ridiculous because of those clashing opinions. On the outside, however, he appears positively delighted.]

I did it . . . I did it!

[Again. And this time, he needs to make sure the repeat of the play doesn't happen.

. . . well, that was a play. The cure presented therein couldn't possibly apply to real life. So he presumes he's safe.

Which is why he walks away, or is about to. Considering how many people live in the house, it wouldn't be unusual for someone to come across the scene before the perpetrator ran into hiding. Not that they'd know whom was responsible right off the bat.]

[Asbel happened to be approaching at that moment, so Hubert had better make himself scarce or be prepared to explain himself.]

[mistyarc]

[Shoot. Hubert opts to making himself scarce for the time being, using the walls to his advantage to be out of sight but in earshot of whatever Asbel might try to do. If he gets caught here, he'll have no way of explaining himself.

Except at the price of his dignity.]

[raizanshou]

[Asbel didn't spot Hubert, thankfully (for Hubert, at least), but he's certainly noticed Cheria, collapsed on the ground. He's quickly running towards her now.]

Cheria!

[asterism_angel]

[Cheria does not stir. In fact, she doesn't even seem to be breathing.]

[raizanshou]

[Asbel grabs her by the shoulders, trying to shake her awake.]

Cheria! Cheria!

[asterism_angel]

[It's not very effective. Cheria is still as unresponsive as before.]
