[Queens Pardise: Prologue - Queen of Souls]

[15:26] <!Emilybroshoujo> [Queens Pardise: Prologue - Queen of Souls]
[15:27] <!Emilybroshoujo> Aldeas sits his hand over Lucia's as she leans on his shoulder.
[15:28] <!Emilybroshoujo> In the throne room a famous violinist puts on a private performance for the King and Queen, Lucia having had her fair share of wine is rather drowsey and on the verge of falling asleep to the docile tones.
[15:28] <!Emilybroshoujo> "They're a really cute couple..." Mesina says to herself as she looks on from the edge of the room.
[15:28] <!Emilybroshoujo> "I'll say." A voice from nowhere responds.
[15:29] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Right?... I'm a little jealous." Mesina says without thinking before her hair spontaneously froms into cat ears and her mouth takes the shape of a 3 as she perks up and looks around.
[15:29] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Who said that...."
[15:30] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Me." A voice from nowhere says again.
[15:30] <!Emilybroshoujo> "..." Mesina tilts her head.
[15:30] <!Emilybroshoujo> "I'm right here... are you blind?"
[15:31] <!Emilybroshoujo> Mesina rubs her eyes to make sure and when she opens them standing next to her is a beautiful woman with long dark hair.
[15:31] <!Emilybroshoujo> Her curvy body is covered by a shredded wedding dress and a cigarette hangs from her lips leaving a trail of wispy blue smoke.
[15:31] <!Emilybroshoujo> She's mostly transparent...
[15:32] <!Emilybroshoujo> "... Just to clarify are you a ghost?" Mesina says still in catmode.
[15:32] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Yeah." The raven haired beauty responds.
[15:33] <!Emilybroshoujo> "I thought so, just making sure." Mesina says happily as she raises a hand before running off screaming in terror.
[15:33] <!Emilybroshoujo> She rockets head first into the violinist who goes tumbling along with her.
[15:33] <!Emilybroshoujo> The ghost girl steps forward.
[15:33] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Ah... Hello." Lucia says half asleep and not noticing the transparency of the unexpected guests.
[15:34] <!Emilybroshoujo> "I don't suppose you'd happen to be Lady Veil?" Aldeas says after taking another sip of wine unphased by Mesina's outburst.
[15:34] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Yeah, that's me I guess."
[15:35] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Not sure why you wanted me but here I am." She says as she opens her arms wide as if to present herself.
[15:35] <!Emilybroshoujo> Her breasts are partially exposed by the shredded dress.
[15:35] <!Emilybroshoujo> "My mother once told me the appearance of a persons ghost told the story of their life. You look like you had an unpleasant end." Aldeas says.
[15:36] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Yeah, well I became the first ghost, so I guess up until me nobody else had ever had a shittier day."
[15:36] <!Emilybroshoujo> Aldeas and the Ghost Queen share in a soft laugh.
[15:37] <!Emilybroshoujo> No one else seems to find any part of their exchange funny.
[15:37] <!Emilybroshoujo> "You can smoke?" Aldeas stands as Mesina explains to the slowly awakening Lucia that the woman in front of them is a ghost.
[15:37] <!Emilybroshoujo> "No, it's just for looks. Makes me look cool."
[15:38] <!Emilybroshoujo> "I regret not giving it a shot when I was alive."
[15:38] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Earlier you said you're not sure why you were invited, do you understand the purpose the peace talks we're proposing?"
[15:39] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Yeah, but I don't understand why you invited me. Ghosts don't need anything from the living, and we don't have an organized kingdom. Once we become Ghosts it's too late for us to be put to rest, we're not like poltergeists."
[15:40] <!Emilybroshoujo> "True, but you're the eldest of all spectral undead and can commune with all the others that have come after you." Aldeas says without hesitation.
[15:41] <!Emilybroshoujo> "While I regretably can offer you and your fellow ghosts nothing in the peace talks I'd like to organize efforts to put poltergeists and other hostile freshly born spirits to rest before they suffer the same fate as you and your kin."
[15:41] <!Emilybroshoujo> "The co-operation of you and other Ghosts would be very handy for that."
[15:42] <!Emilybroshoujo> "That's pretty ambitious kid... you have any clue how many people die with unfinished bussiness?"
[15:42] <!Emilybroshoujo> "There are a great many people alive who would see their dearly departed rest in peace." Aldeas retorts.
[15:43] <!Emilybroshoujo> The phantom woman approaches and presses her ghostly lips to Aldeas' forehead and leaves an ectoplasmic kiss print.
[15:43] <!Emilybroshoujo> "You're a sweet kid, I'll help out if I can."
[15:44] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Should I stay materialized so everyone can see me and I don't give any more of your servants heart attacks?" Veil asks with a slight smile.
[15:44] <!Emilybroshoujo> "Yes... please..." Mesina whines beneath a pile of instruments.
