[Frey wakes up bright and early on his favorite holiday. And this year's 4th of July picnic is going to be even better than the last. This year he had a date. So he dolls himself up in some crisp tan slacks and a blue polo shirt. You have to look your best for a first date, after all. He couldn't wait for the barbecue.  And hey look, his mom made

Ready!

[And here's Lyon, bouncing down the stairs with her hair done up in a cute little bob with a red bow in it, wearing a pink poodle skirt with black trim and her patent leather shoes polished to perfection. She's trying not to look too excited, but she honestly can't hide her bright smile right now.]

[mercyasdeep]

Wow, you sure do look swell.

[His smile is just as bright. As the sun. Let our mercy as deep as the Feitas, and our authority as bright as the sun.... Wait, what was..? He pushes the thought aside.]

Sh- shall we go?

[float_like_a]

Of course, Prince!

[Lyon gives him an odd little look as she takes him by the arm. Something about that name... it was just a nickname she called him in her fantasies, right? But he wasn't supposed to know that. Shaking her head a little, she laughs and tries to brush the confusion aside.]

We have a little bit of time before the fireworks start. Do you want to go get a soda?

[mercyasdeep]

....Prince?

[Caught off guard, he laughs nervously. Prince? That was weird. Just like his dream.]

Umm, yeah. Let's do that.

[The heat was probably getting to him. Why else would he be imagining being a Prince in some castle?]

"Oh, I think its a half an hour or so after sunset. I mean we can't have it too late right?"

Re: Phone - 100% Drone

[mercyasdeep]

Right. I guess I'll have to early anyway, since it'll be crowded. The whole town always turns out for this.

[ironheadmaiden]

"If you want I can bring an extra blanket and maybe our families can share a picnic."

[mercyasdeep]

Oh, gee, that'd be swell. But I'm actually not going with my family this year.

I kind of... have a date.

[commentboxtroll]

The same time that they've always started, Frey...

Hey. I've found the best spot to watch them from this year. You want to join us?

[mercyasdeep]

Actually, I'm going with Lyon this year.

[commentboxtroll]

That girl that stalks you everywhere...? Why?

[mercyasdeep]

Stalks?

No, you've got it wrong. We were just friends. Before she asked me out, I never even knew she liked me.

[And here's Miakis, answering the door like a good momma! Though she's 50% droned, Frey gets the same bright smile from her that he always has -- because all of her memories of the Prince are fond ones, even the fake Mayfield ones.]

Hey, Frey~ [Pause. Blink. Wait, no, she's supposed to call him Prince, isn't she?] She's almost ready; she'll be downstairs any minute now!

[mercyasdeep]

Thanks, Mrs. Hidaka.

[He doesn't know what prompts him to continue, but he does.]

You know, I had the strangest dream last night. You and Lyon were in it. And there was a castle, and a river and.... something about runes.

It was really weird.

[sting_like_a]

...Really?

[Hmmmm.]

That is pretty weird~ Sounds like a nice dream, though! But we're in good old Mayfield, not some castle, right~?

[mercyasdeep]

Right. It was just a silly dream. I was even a prince in it. Can you imagine that?

[He laughs. But feel free to notice that he's still got the dawn rune tattooed on his hand. That's gonna confuse him later.]
