An Impromptu Chat
So... openedlocket 's interview questions sparked an impromptu role-playing chat held between her and I.
The title of the chat is It's All Mira's Fault, because it really was all Mira's fault.
Rating is G.
Summary: Mira's slip of the tongue caused me, poor Lady Jane, to get arrested by Nahuseresh. *gasp* Read the epic tale of rescue, danger, love, and fan-girling for yourself. Gen is, of course, a featured character.
Enjoy!

It's All Mira's Fault!
A Role-playing Chat
It all began with Mira's interview questions...
-Lady Jane posted
Nahuseresh-
(1) Will you ever change the style of your beard?
My beard is the height of fashion in Medea. Attolia is so far behind the trends it's shameful. Embarrassing in fact, and without my beard I never would have gotten called a red-bearded jagbag. This is what adventurous fashions do, my dear. Create new vocabulary words.
*looks smug*
(2) Do you HAVE to come back in the next book?
Young lady, a book is not a book without a villain; and hopeful this time the villain will win.
-Mira posted
(1) Uhuh... new vocabulary words like forked ketchup bottle... Okay, then.
(2) Why do you and Attolia both call me "young lady". Have you two been talking to each other? Warning: a certain king may not like that.
-Lady Jane posted
(2) Nahuseresh: An excellent question. I don't even recall saying that...
*snaps fingers*
It must be the transcriber. Guards! The transcriber's favorite character is Irene of Atollia and is attempting to make me sound like that infuriating queen! Lock her in the dungeon!
*slamming of jail doors*
Lady Jane: Gee... Thanks, Mira. You'd better finish your interview questions soon and join me down here. Better yet... Call Gen to break me out. My laptop is running out of power. There's no electricity in this era.
-Mira posted
Yes, ma'm! I'm a-coming... Oh, Gen!!!! We need you!
XXXXXXXXX
The plot thickens...
(Note: At this point, I began editing. Lines, including ones for Mira and myself, may have been written by the other. I hope you enjoy our craziness.)
XXXXXXXXXX
Mira: I'm here, I'm here, with Gen, too... Oh, wait this is Dite. I forgot I had him handcuffed to me so he wouldn't get away... Come, come, Dite. We have to go find Gen *gahlloomps (new word) around the prisoner guards who are too confused to do a thing*
Lady Jane: *stares*
XXXXXXXXXX
Mira: Okay, I'm back with Gen and Dite.
Gen: Why the heck did you handcuff yourself to me? How are we all supposed to get out of here if we're all handcuffed?
Mira: Whoops...
*guards arrest Mira, Gen, and Dite*
Gen: Oh, well... At least Dite is here. I have someone to talk to.
Mira: Yeah, I know, right?
Dite: *looks uneasy*
Mira: Don't worry, Lady Jane. We'll get out... All we need is someone who knows we're in here to bust us out.
Lady Jane: *is not reassured*
XXXXXXXXXX
Lady Jane: YOU'RE SO COOL! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YOU'RE THE GREATEST KING IN ALL OF THE WORLD! *has been doing this for ten minutes*
Gen: *nervous smile* Of course I am...
Gen thinking: Now, we really are never going to get out. Gotta love idiot fan-girls. But I do understand why women lose all their intelligence when they are around me. After all, it is me.
Dite thinking: Why is that girl ignoring me while the other one won't let go of me? *is concerned*
Mira: *compares the two The King of Attolia characters she's with* You know... If you didn't cut your hair short, Your Majesty, you two would look kinda identical. And that isn't the only reason I love you, Dite. Really... Hey, can you give me music lessons?
Lady Jane from opposite cell: Yeah, they do... a little... WAIT! There is no time for this. *regains intelligence and starts pacing back and forth* Gen, you can't tell me it wasn't you that stole the key from Mira.
Gen: *looks sheepish*
Lady Jane: Gen...
Gen: *produces key* And here I was going to gather some intelligence with my mad ninja skillz.
Lady Jane: How do you even know what ninja are?
Gen: It's Mira's fault, or more specifically your fault, being that it was your idea. When are going to write a fic about how awesome I am?
Lady Jane: Be serious!
Gen: *unlocks his handcuffs* (How he does this with one hand is a secret.) Yeah, yeah...
Mira: Wait! I don't want to be unhand-cuffed from Dite.
Gen: You don't want to escape...?
Dite: Please, unhand-cuff her from me.
Mira: I refuse!
Lady Jane: Mira... What did I say about falling in love with fictional characters.
Gen: If we were fictional, how would I be breaking you out of the dungeon?
Lady Jane: Good question...
Dite: Can we concentrate people!
Mira: Dite... I... I... AM IN LOVE WITH YOU!
Dite: We are from different dimensions. It would never work.
Mira: Oh, it would so work... Just give it a chance, Dite. Sheesh... *rolls eyes in the attempt to hide sense of rejection*
XXXXXXXXXX
Lady Jane: *is searching for fellow Sounisians to help* Let's see... Let's see... Jade got eaten by dragons. TLE has an injured foot. TA is in New Zealand. TG is trying to elope with Costis... Oooo... *falls over*
Gen: *smiles* At least I'm here.
Lady Jane: *starry-eyed* Yes, that's true. WAIT! I can't get distracted right now. *goes back to searching*
Mira: I know you would love me, Dite! Just give it a chance!
Dite: Please, unhand-cuff her from me. *holds out arm to Gen*
Gen: Hey, she could be the love of your life. I won't unhand-cuff you until you accept her confession.
Mira: Thank you!
Gen: No problem, dear.
Dite: *stares suspiciously at Gen* You wouldn't have a hidden agenda for wanting me to get married, would you?
Gen: If you are referring to the interest you had in a certain woman, who is now taken. I have no hidden agenda of the sort. *whistles innocently*
Dite: *bangs head against bars*
Mira: Sweetie, don't do that. You might mare your beautiful face.
Dite: Get away from me.
Mira: *sniffles*
Gen: Now look what you've done, and you call yourself a gentleman. Hphm! It's alright, dear. You deserve better.
Mira: But... But... Dite is the only one for me.
Gen: I know... dear... I know...
Lady Jane: *feels like she is watching a shoujo anime*
XXXXXXXXXX
Mira: *cries in the corner as she waits for someone to get them out*
*is tired of waiting so she jumps up grabs the key from Gen and magically unlocks the door* Can we get out of here, now? Playing damsel-in-distress is VERY tiring. Not to mention getting rejected by Dite... *looks hurt but is hiding it*
*all the others stare at her incredulously*
Lady Jane: How did you know that key would open the door?
Mira: Because, I was examining the lock when I was crying.
Lady Jane: *stares a Mira in disbelief* So... you didn't know all along that it would open and just wanted to stay in the cell with Dite, then?
Gen & Dite: *looks suspiciously at Mira*
Locket: I was examining the key, too. Even if it was being waved around...
*silence*
Gen: Well... either way... We have you to thank for our escape, Dite. If it hadn't been for you, we may have never gotten out of that cell.
Mira: *sticks tongue out at Dite while unlocking Lady Jane's cell door* Now, let's get out of here. I've had enough of staying in the same room with a guy who made me cry. And I need ice cream!
Lady Jane: Umm... One problem I and Mira and Dite don't have ninja skillz. Err... Guards?
Mira: Yeah, good point... Because unlike SOME people, *clears throat*
Dite. Gen is very cool.
Dite: Ninja..? *is quite confused*
Lady Jane: Wait! My laptop still has power. We can blind the guards!
Locket: Yes, awesome idea! Turn it up to maximum brightness.
Gen: Or... That just might tell the guards where we are.
Lady Jane: Darn...
Mira: Hmm... We could use Dite as bait. *is hiding pain by torturing Dite*
Gen: *stares at Dite*
Dite: *shakes head furiously* I don't even have my violin! Or my piano! Or... Or... Or... *takes deep breath* I apologize if I have ever offended you, Mira.
Mira: Oh, sure... Say that to my broken heart. Oh, wait... It's broken so how can it hear you. But my brain accepts your apology.
Lady Jane: Okay, let's focus on a plan. Gen I'm counting on you.
Mira: I second this. Since, I'm quite helpless except for my awesome key examining skillz.
Gen: Why does everyone always expect me to do everything?
Mira: Because you are that awesome.
Lady Jane: Precisely! *is appealing to Gen's ego*
Gen: Awesome? Me? Okay, this way.
*Lady Jane and Mira follow*
*Dite tags along because he's still standing there like an idiot*
XXXXXXXXXX
*everyone is sneaking through dungeon*
Lady Jane: *is whispering* This is like that time in The Thief.
Gen: *glances over his shoulder with a suspicious expression* How do you know about that?
Mira: *nervous laugh* Uhhhh... No reason, Gen. We just kinda... guessed...
Lady Jane: *nods head* Of course... We have no magic portal provided to us by a marvelous woman, which we use to gaze upon your world.
Gen: Magic portal...?
Lady Jane: Opps...
Mira: *shakes head* No, there isn't any such thing... Really, there isn't.
Gen: *jumps back behind corner* Guards. Be very quite.
*everyone freezes and listens*
Nahuseresh: How did you let them escape!?
Guard: Err... They appear to have had some strange key, milord. It's opens all locks.
Lady Jane: *is whispering to Mira* You had a skeleton key and didn't tell me?
Mira: Aaa... Ha.. Ha... Haa... *tries to back away, but bumps into Dite* DITE MOVE!!! Whoops...
Gen: Don't you understand what quiet means!
*much arguing and noise*
*everyone falls around corner*
Nahuseresh: You... *points finger* are that interviewer, and YOU are that traitorous transcriber.
Mira: Uhh... Hi... *waves* This is awkward...
Lady Jane: I was spying for the queen of Attolia and I'm proud of it!
Mira: I was spying for all fangirls everywhere, and it was FUN!!!
Lady Jane: *turns towards Mira* I thought you came here to save me?
Mira: Good point... But I probably would have been thrown in here, anyway.
Lady Jane: Ahh... When you interviewed Nahuseresh... Yeah, most likely. This guy is touchy.
Gen: I agree.
Mira: Yes, very... He's the one you can get the good gossip from, too; but he refuses to answer
Dite: And he's a horrible musician. *just wanted to join in*
Mira: Really?!
Dite: *nods*
Gen: I've heard him sing, too. *lowers voice* He sounds like a cat.
Mira: *murmurs* Really?
Nahuseresh: I do not!
Mira: Oh, you could hear us? Sorry...
Nahuseresh: Somebody arrest them!
Mira: Err... Nahuseresh, I have some questions for your awesome future-king-of-the-world self.
Nahuseresh: *looks smug* Go on.
Mira: (1) Rumor has it your beard was dyed red to impress the queen of Attolia, is that true? (2) You were planning to marry Attolia. Tell us, were you thinking of heirs?
Dite: *blushes*
Gen: *glares at Mira*
Lady Jane: *looks away*
Mira: What... It had to be done, right?
Nahuseresh: *looks shocked and takes a few steps back*
Mira: RUN!!!
Nahuseresh: Guards! After them!
XXXXXXXXXX
Gen: *the only one not panting* How did I get dragged into this?
Mira: I needed you to help *wheeze* Lady Jane *wheeze* escape, and then I accidentally-on-purpose handcuffed you. *wheeze* Well, actually the on purpose was Dite.
Dite: I didn't even need to be here *wheeze* in the first place.
Mira: True enough, but you needed the experience. *wheeze* Plus, I thought you were *wheeze* a really nice guy... *wheeze* THEN...
Lady Jane: She's right. *glances at Dite* Jerk. *wheeze*
Dite: *looks abashed*
Gen: When we round the next corner, jump into an open cell. It's too dark for the guards to us.
Lady Jane & Mira: Yes, Sir!
Dite: This is never *wheeze* going to work.
Gen: You have a better idea?
Dite: Err...
Mira: The king is the one with mad ninja skills. We should trust him!
*everyone jumps in*
*guards run by*
Gen: *looks pointedly at Dite* Never work. Huh?
Dite: *looks sheepish*
Mira: Are they gone? *realizes she's cowering against Dite* *jumps away, startled*
Dite: *stares*
Mira: What? It was an ACCIDENT! *is blushing in the dark and is glad that no one can see*
Lady Jane: *crawls around* I think they are gone... Hmm...? What's this?
Mira: What's what?
Lady Jane: IT'S MY HANDCRANK! I DROPPED IT WHEN I WAS ARRESTED!
Dite: What's a hand-crank?
Gen: *wants to hit Dite* You carry a hand-crank?
Mira: What does it do?
Lady Jane: It's for my laptop. It will charge the battery.
Mira: Like that hand-cranked television?
Dite: Television...?
Gen: You need to read Sounis more. *stole a computer from the modern era*
Lady Jane: My laptop can detect when the next magic portal will open.
Gen: Which would be... Where?
Dite: Wait... Magic portal?
Mira: *mumbles* Oh, shut it. *turns to Lady Jane* So... about that crank-
Lady Jane: *uses hand-crank*
Mira: Ahhh!
Lady Jane: *smiles* Sorry about the sparks.
Dite: *is hiding in corridor* *is afraid of the sparks*
Mira: *facepalms* *mutters* What did I ever see in him?
Gen: Beats me...
Dite: *glares at Gen*
Gen: *innocently crosses arms behind head*
Lady Jane: Let's see... the next portal will open... Here...?
Mira: Wow... How convenient!
Gen: Fiction is always convenient.
Lady Jane: Okay! Three... Two... One... It should open right about... now!
*portal opens*
*everyone enters*
XXXXXXXXXX
In an Attolian chapel, where the wedding march is being played...
*bang, crash*
*TLE, TG, and Costis look shocked*
Gen: Get off of me!
Lady Jane: Opps... Sorry...
Mira: Who has their shoe in my face?!?
Dite: Err... Sorry. *offers to help Mira up*
Mira: *attempts to look upset as she accepts the offer* Hmmph!
TLE: What are you doing here?
Mira: We could ask you the same question.
Lady Jane: Escaping.
Dite: Oh, Look! A piano! *runs to piano*
Mira: Dite, now is the worse time to play the piano!
Lady Jane: *nervous smile* So... How's the wedding going?
Mira: Wait up... wedding? Were we invited to this?
*TG is fuming in the background*
*Costis is confused*
Lady Jane: That's a good question. Why weren't we invited?
Gen: *looks at Lady Jane* You? What about me? I'm the king. Isn't that right, Costis?
Cotis: *looks nervous*
Mira: *would facepalm at the awkwardness of all of this if she wasn't busy trying to get Dite off the piano*
*doors slam open*
*all heads turn to look at the doors*
Everyone: JADE?!
Jade: I did NOT get eaten by dragons!
Mira: But... I thought Mrs. Turner said... and the others said...
TG: She DID TOO get eaten by dragons! Or she WILL BE! I read it! In the Oracle's OWN WORDS!
Jade : She *points at TG* has fabricated this deceit to steal my husband!
TG: You're husband? Jade... Jade... You are a lovely girl with a vibrant and very CREATIVE imagination.
Jade: That's it! You are going down!
TG: *throws down bouquet* Bring it on!
Costis: *begins to inch away*
TG & Jade: WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!
Gen: I believe he is escaping from frightening women.
Dite: *is wondering whether anyone will get married so he can play the piano* Good call, Costis.
Mira: *glares*
Costis: *runs*
*TG and Jade chase*
*much yelling and slamming of doors*
TLE: *sigh* And I wanted to be a bride's maid, too...
Dite: I wanted to play the piano... *pouts*
Mira: And I wanted to get married to you... We can't have everything we want.
Dite: What?
Mira: Nothing... I didn't say ANYTHING...
Gen: *raises eyebrows*
Lady Jane: *murmurs* This is like a shoujo manga.
Mira: *can't stop the tears that are upcoming and turns to run away*
Dite: Wait! *grabs Mira's arm*
Mira: *tries to fight his grip; but for a pathetic person, Dite is quite strong*
Dite: Will you marry me, Mira?
Mira: WHAT!?!?!?! But... I thought... And... The not working... And the...
*is so shocked she almost collapses*
Gen: He's quite fickle, and being in the dark puts him in a testy mood.
Dite: *glares at Gen* So what?!
Mira: I mean... One minute, he hates me. Then the next, he wants to marry me...
Lady Jane: *whispers to Mira* I think he's serious, dear.
Mira: *looks at Dite* How will I know that your mind won't change the next time you see Irene?
Gen: *says forcible* He won't change his mind! *turns to look at Dite* Correct, Dite...?
Dite: *nervious cough*
Mira: *raises eyebrow at Gen* How can you be so sure?
Gen: I'm omniscient. I know everything. You should be aware of that. You have gazed into the magic portal, correct?
Lady Jane: *murmurs* He know all along.
Mira: And so... That leaves my answer... Hmm... *is pretending to think* *stalls* What was the question again?
*everyone falls over*
Mira: You know... I have to be absolutely sure I heard you right. *glares at Dite* You might have changed your mind again...
Dite: *sigh*
Mira: What!? Am I difficult!? Sue me for that! You'll have to deal with it for a long time if you are going to marry me! You need to learn what you're up against!
Dite: I see that...
Lady Jane: *nudges Mira*
Mira: *smiles* *loves playing mind games with Dite* And so... It's a big... fat... *holds everyone in suspense* YES!
*everyone cheers*
Mira: *leaps into Dite's arms*
TLE: Yay! I still get to be a bridesmaid.
Mira: Alright! Let's get this show on the road.
*guests are magically transported*
Dite: Wait.. I just realized...
Mira: WHAT?!?! You better not be changing your mind!
Dite: I can't play the piano at my own wedding.
Mira: Oh, is that it? You can play at the reception, and I can turn the pages for you. Aside from key examining, I can also turn pages like no one else.
Gen: *claps hands* Places people! By order of the king. Today is a happy day. Dite is getting married, and I have no personally interesting in making sure his is unavailable. What so ever...
Lady Jane: *grabs flowers from table and gives them to Mira* Congrats, dear!
Mira: *takes flowers and proudly puts them up in bridal position*
Mira: Thank you, and that reminds me... When do you plan to get married? And to whom?
Lady Jane: *coughs*
Mira: Hmm...? I couldn't hear that properly. I will toss the bouquet in your direction.
Lady Jane: *nervous laugh* *runs away*
Mira: Oh, well... That's one less guest. We can deal with that later...
Dite: That guy can't play the piano.
Mira: Which guy?
Dite: *points at guy playing the wedding march*
Mira: You REALLY want to play? Huh?
Dite: *shrugs*
Mira: Well then... Kick that guy off the piano bench and play the march. Just meet me at the altar when you're done.
Dite: Yay! *runs to piano*
Mira: *is happy that Dite is happy*
*wedding ceremony proceeds*
*priest rambles*
Mira & Dite: I do.
*loud noise*
Mira: What was that?
Lady Jane: *bursts back in*
Mira: You're interrupted my wedding...
Lady Jane: Errr... Sorry...
Mira: It's fine. What's the matter?
Lady Jane: That's the portal to home. It's opening.
Mira: Oh! But... But... My wedding... *pouts*
Lady Jane: I thought you might say that. *glances behind her* TLE... get ready. *shakes Mira's hand* We shall meet again some day. Thank you for rescuing me.
Gen: Excuse me. *raises hand* I'm the one that did the rescuing.
Mira: Good point. *waves* Bye guys... Thank you for attending... I will get you to catch this bouquet soon Lady Jane.
Lady Jane: *coughs*
Dite: *waves goodbye*
Lady Jane: *waves*
*everyone else waves back*
*TLE, Lady Jane, and various Sounisian guests walk through*
Mira & Dite: *wedding kiss*
Gen: Cue the fanfare people.*stretches* I want my dinner.
The End
*.....................................................................................................................*
Lady Jane: *bows* Thank you for reading the role-playing chat, It's all Mira's Fault. We hope you enjoyed it.
Mira: Hmm... Wait... So I am now Mrs. Erondites...

Mrs. Erondites: I will now meet the in-laws. *expects a letter of complaint from the house of Erondites*
*Mrs. Erondites has changed name back to Locket*
Mira & Lady Jane: Until next time Sounis... *waves* Goodbye.

*is tired of waiting so she jumps up grabs the key from Gen and magically unlocks the door* Can we get out of here, now? Playing damsel-in-distress is VERY tiring. Not to mention getting rejected by Dite... *looks hurt but is hiding it*
*all the others stare at her incredulously*
Lady Jane: How did you know that key would open the door?
Mira: Because, I was examining the lock when I was crying.
Lady Jane: *stares a Mira in disbelief* So... you didn't know all along that it would open and just wanted to stay in the cell with Dite, then?
Gen & Dite: *looks suspiciously at Mira*
Locket: I was examining the key, too. Even if it was being waved around...
*silence*
Gen: Well... either way... We have you to thank for our escape, Dite. If it hadn't been for you, we may have never gotten out of that cell.
Mira: *sticks tongue out at Dite while unlocking Lady Jane's cell door* Now, let's get out of here. I've had enough of staying in the same room with a guy who made me cry. And I need ice cream!
Lady Jane: Umm... One problem I and Mira and Dite don't have ninja skillz. Err... Guards?
Mira: Yeah, good point... Because unlike SOME people, *clears throat*
Dite. Gen is very cool.
Dite: Ninja..? *is quite confused*
Lady Jane: Wait! My laptop still has power. We can blind the guards!
Locket: Yes, awesome idea! Turn it up to maximum brightness.
Gen: Or... That just might tell the guards where we are.
Lady Jane: Darn...
Mira: Hmm... We could use Dite as bait. *is hiding pain by torturing Dite*
Gen: *stares at Dite*
Dite: *shakes head furiously* I don't even have my violin! Or my piano! Or... Or... Or... *takes deep breath* I apologize if I have ever offended you, Mira.
Mira: Oh, sure... Say that to my broken heart. Oh, wait... It's broken so how can it hear you. But my brain accepts your apology.
Lady Jane: Okay, let's focus on a plan. Gen I'm counting on you.
Mira: I second this. Since, I'm quite helpless except for my awesome key examining skillz.
Gen: Why does everyone always expect me to do everything?
Mira: Because you are that awesome.
Lady Jane: Precisely! *is appealing to Gen's ego*
Gen: Awesome? Me? Okay, this way.
*Lady Jane and Mira follow*
*Dite tags along because he's still standing there like an idiot*
XXXXXXXXXX
*everyone is sneaking through dungeon*
Lady Jane: *is whispering* This is like that time in The Thief.
Gen: *glances over his shoulder with a suspicious expression* How do you know about that?
Mira: *nervous laugh* Uhhhh... No reason, Gen. We just kinda... guessed...
Lady Jane: *nods head* Of course... We have no magic portal provided to us by a marvelous woman, which we use to gaze upon your world.
Gen: Magic portal...?
Lady Jane: Opps...
Mira: *shakes head* No, there isn't any such thing... Really, there isn't.
Gen: *jumps back behind corner* Guards. Be very quite.
*everyone freezes and listens*
Nahuseresh: How did you let them escape!?
Guard: Err... They appear to have had some strange key, milord. It's opens all locks.
Lady Jane: *is whispering to Mira* You had a skeleton key and didn't tell me?
Mira: Aaa... Ha.. Ha... Haa... *tries to back away, but bumps into Dite* DITE MOVE!!! Whoops...
Gen: Don't you understand what quiet means!
*much arguing and noise*
*everyone falls around corner*
Nahuseresh: You... *points finger* are that interviewer, and YOU are that traitorous transcriber.
Mira: Uhh... Hi... *waves* This is awkward...
Lady Jane: I was spying for the queen of Attolia and I'm proud of it!
Mira: I was spying for all fangirls everywhere, and it was FUN!!!
Lady Jane: *turns towards Mira* I thought you came here to save me?
Mira: Good point... But I probably would have been thrown in here, anyway.
Lady Jane: Ahh... When you interviewed Nahuseresh... Yeah, most likely. This guy is touchy.
Gen: I agree.
Mira: Yes, very... He's the one you can get the good gossip from, too; but he refuses to answer
Dite: And he's a horrible musician. *just wanted to join in*
Mira: Really?!
Dite: *nods*
Gen: I've heard him sing, too. *lowers voice* He sounds like a cat.
Mira: *murmurs* Really?
Nahuseresh: I do not!
Mira: Oh, you could hear us? Sorry...
Nahuseresh: Somebody arrest them!
Mira: Err... Nahuseresh, I have some questions for your awesome future-king-of-the-world self.
Nahuseresh: *looks smug* Go on.
Mira: (1) Rumor has it your beard was dyed red to impress the queen of Attolia, is that true? (2) You were planning to marry Attolia. Tell us, were you thinking of heirs?
Dite: *blushes*
Gen: *glares at Mira*
Lady Jane: *looks away*
Mira: What... It had to be done, right?
Nahuseresh: *looks shocked and takes a few steps back*
Mira: RUN!!!
Nahuseresh: Guards! After them!
XXXXXXXXXX
Gen: *the only one not panting* How did I get dragged into this?
Mira: I needed you to help *wheeze* Lady Jane *wheeze* escape, and then I accidentally-on-purpose handcuffed you. *wheeze* Well, actually the on purpose was Dite.
Dite: I didn't even need to be here *wheeze* in the first place.
Mira: True enough, but you needed the experience. *wheeze* Plus, I thought you were *wheeze* a really nice guy... *wheeze* THEN...
Lady Jane: She's right. *glances at Dite* Jerk. *wheeze*
Dite: *looks abashed*
Gen: When we round the next corner, jump into an open cell. It's too dark for the guards to us.
Lady Jane & Mira: Yes, Sir!
Dite: This is never *wheeze* going to work.
Gen: You have a better idea?
Dite: Err...
Mira: The king is the one with mad ninja skills. We should trust him!
*everyone jumps in*
*guards run by*
Gen: *looks pointedly at Dite* Never work. Huh?
Dite: *looks sheepish*
Mira: Are they gone? *realizes she's cowering against Dite* *jumps away, startled*
Dite: *stares*
Mira: What? It was an ACCIDENT! *is blushing in the dark and is glad that no one can see*
Lady Jane: *crawls around* I think they are gone... Hmm...? What's this?
Mira: What's what?
Lady Jane: IT'S MY HANDCRANK! I DROPPED IT WHEN I WAS ARRESTED!
Dite: What's a hand-crank?
Gen: *wants to hit Dite* You carry a hand-crank?
Mira: What does it do?
Lady Jane: It's for my laptop. It will charge the battery.
Mira: Like that hand-cranked television?
Dite: Television...?
Gen: You need to read Sounis more. *stole a computer from the modern era*
Lady Jane: My laptop can detect when the next magic portal will open.
Gen: Which would be... Where?
Dite: Wait... Magic portal?
Mira: *mumbles* Oh, shut it. *turns to Lady Jane* So... about that crank-
Lady Jane: *uses hand-crank*
Mira: Ahhh!
Lady Jane: *smiles* Sorry about the sparks.
Dite: *is hiding in corridor* *is afraid of the sparks*
Mira: *facepalms* *mutters* What did I ever see in him?
Gen: Beats me...
Dite: *glares at Gen*
Gen: *innocently crosses arms behind head*
Lady Jane: Let's see... the next portal will open... Here...?
Mira: Wow... How convenient!
Gen: Fiction is always convenient.
Lady Jane: Okay! Three... Two... One... It should open right about... now!
*portal opens*
*everyone enters*
XXXXXXXXXX
In an Attolian chapel, where the wedding march is being played...
*bang, crash*
*TLE, TG, and Costis look shocked*
Gen: Get off of me!
Lady Jane: Opps... Sorry...
Mira: Who has their shoe in my face?!?
Dite: Err... Sorry. *offers to help Mira up*
Mira: *attempts to look upset as she accepts the offer* Hmmph!
TLE: What are you doing here?
Mira: We could ask you the same question.
Lady Jane: Escaping.
Dite: Oh, Look! A piano! *runs to piano*
Mira: Dite, now is the worse time to play the piano!
Lady Jane: *nervous smile* So... How's the wedding going?
Mira: Wait up... wedding? Were we invited to this?
*TG is fuming in the background*
*Costis is confused*
Lady Jane: That's a good question. Why weren't we invited?
Gen: *looks at Lady Jane* You? What about me? I'm the king. Isn't that right, Costis?
Cotis: *looks nervous*
Mira: *would facepalm at the awkwardness of all of this if she wasn't busy trying to get Dite off the piano*
*doors slam open*
*all heads turn to look at the doors*
Everyone: JADE?!
Jade: I did NOT get eaten by dragons!
Mira: But... I thought Mrs. Turner said... and the others said...
TG: She DID TOO get eaten by dragons! Or she WILL BE! I read it! In the Oracle's OWN WORDS!
Jade : She *points at TG* has fabricated this deceit to steal my husband!
TG: You're husband? Jade... Jade... You are a lovely girl with a vibrant and very CREATIVE imagination.
Jade: That's it! You are going down!
TG: *throws down bouquet* Bring it on!
Costis: *begins to inch away*
TG & Jade: WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!
Gen: I believe he is escaping from frightening women.
Dite: *is wondering whether anyone will get married so he can play the piano* Good call, Costis.
Mira: *glares*
Costis: *runs*
*TG and Jade chase*
*much yelling and slamming of doors*
TLE: *sigh* And I wanted to be a bride's maid, too...
Dite: I wanted to play the piano... *pouts*
Mira: And I wanted to get married to you... We can't have everything we want.
Dite: What?
Mira: Nothing... I didn't say ANYTHING...
Gen: *raises eyebrows*
Lady Jane: *murmurs* This is like a shoujo manga.
Mira: *can't stop the tears that are upcoming and turns to run away*
Dite: Wait! *grabs Mira's arm*
Mira: *tries to fight his grip; but for a pathetic person, Dite is quite strong*
Dite: Will you marry me, Mira?
Mira: WHAT!?!?!?! But... I thought... And... The not working... And the...
*is so shocked she almost collapses*
Gen: He's quite fickle, and being in the dark puts him in a testy mood.
Dite: *glares at Gen* So what?!
Mira: I mean... One minute, he hates me. Then the next, he wants to marry me...
Lady Jane: *whispers to Mira* I think he's serious, dear.
Mira: *looks at Dite* How will I know that your mind won't change the next time you see Irene?
Gen: *says forcible* He won't change his mind! *turns to look at Dite* Correct, Dite...?
Dite: *nervious cough*
Mira: *raises eyebrow at Gen* How can you be so sure?
Gen: I'm omniscient. I know everything. You should be aware of that. You have gazed into the magic portal, correct?
Lady Jane: *murmurs* He know all along.
Mira: And so... That leaves my answer... Hmm... *is pretending to think* *stalls* What was the question again?
*everyone falls over*
Mira: You know... I have to be absolutely sure I heard you right. *glares at Dite* You might have changed your mind again...
Dite: *sigh*
Mira: What!? Am I difficult!? Sue me for that! You'll have to deal with it for a long time if you are going to marry me! You need to learn what you're up against!
Dite: I see that...
Lady Jane: *nudges Mira*
Mira: *smiles* *loves playing mind games with Dite* And so... It's a big... fat... *holds everyone in suspense* YES!
*everyone cheers*
Mira: *leaps into Dite's arms*
TLE: Yay! I still get to be a bridesmaid.
Mira: Alright! Let's get this show on the road.
*guests are magically transported*
Dite: Wait.. I just realized...
Mira: WHAT?!?! You better not be changing your mind!
Dite: I can't play the piano at my own wedding.
Mira: Oh, is that it? You can play at the reception, and I can turn the pages for you. Aside from key examining, I can also turn pages like no one else.
Gen: *claps hands* Places people! By order of the king. Today is a happy day. Dite is getting married, and I have no personally interesting in making sure his is unavailable. What so ever...
Lady Jane: *grabs flowers from table and gives them to Mira* Congrats, dear!
Mira: *takes flowers and proudly puts them up in bridal position*
Mira: Thank you, and that reminds me... When do you plan to get married? And to whom?
Lady Jane: *coughs*
Mira: Hmm...? I couldn't hear that properly. I will toss the bouquet in your direction.
Lady Jane: *nervous laugh* *runs away*
Mira: Oh, well... That's one less guest. We can deal with that later...
Dite: That guy can't play the piano.
Mira: Which guy?
Dite: *points at guy playing the wedding march*
Mira: You REALLY want to play? Huh?
Dite: *shrugs*
Mira: Well then... Kick that guy off the piano bench and play the march. Just meet me at the altar when you're done.
Dite: Yay! *runs to piano*
Mira: *is happy that Dite is happy*
*wedding ceremony proceeds*
*priest rambles*
Mira & Dite: I do.
*loud noise*
Mira: What was that?
Lady Jane: *bursts back in*
Mira: You're interrupted my wedding...
Lady Jane: Errr... Sorry...
Mira: It's fine. What's the matter?
Lady Jane: That's the portal to home. It's opening.
Mira: Oh! But... But... My wedding... *pouts*
Lady Jane: I thought you might say that. *glances behind her* TLE... get ready. *shakes Mira's hand* We shall meet again some day. Thank you for rescuing me.
Gen: Excuse me. *raises hand* I'm the one that did the rescuing.
Mira: Good point. *waves* Bye guys... Thank you for attending... I will get you to catch this bouquet soon Lady Jane.
Lady Jane: *coughs*
Dite: *waves goodbye*
Lady Jane: *waves*
*everyone else waves back*
*TLE, Lady Jane, and various Sounisian guests walk through*
Mira & Dite: *wedding kiss*
Gen: Cue the fanfare people.*stretches* I want my dinner.
The End

Mrs. Erondites: I will now meet the in-laws. *expects a letter of complaint from the house of Erondites*
