- [08:39] <!CYOA-sama> [Queen's Paradise: Special - A Place to Run]
- [08:39] <!CYOA-sama> I wasn't exactly living the high life back then.
- [08:39] <!CYOA-sama> You know? Like, I had to steal just to eat.
- [08:40] <!CYOA-sama> My dad left my mom for a monster girl and she was so resentful she didn't even try to provide for me.
- [08:40] <!CYOA-sama> When she got sick I had to steal and beg just to feed us.
- [08:41] <!CYOA-sama> I developed really fast legs outrunning the guards and the rocks people would throw.
- [08:41] <!CYOA-sama> I was pretty miserable but it wasn't the end of the world. I knew I'd eventually grow up and figure something out so I was never super depressed.
- [08:42] <!CYOA-sama> 'Sounds like you were still the same kind of character you are now....'
- [08:42] <!CYOA-sama> 'SHUT IT FROG GIRL IT'S STORY TIME!'
- [08:42] <!CYOA-sama> Ahem...
- [08:43] <!CYOA-sama> There were enough people around that didn't think I was a cockroach that I could eat well enough by doing odd jobs.
- [08:43] <!CYOA-sama> And luckily I wasn't cute enough to worry about getting molested.
- [08:44] <!CYOA-sama> You ever seen a redhead before puberty? I looked like a match stick with freckles.
- [08:46] <!CYOA-sama> I eventually worked out a system that kept me and my mom fed.
- [08:46] <!CYOA-sama> And she was so proud of me.
- [08:46] <!CYOA-sama> She started getting her shit together....
- [08:47] <!CYOA-sama> And then the whole town bursts into flames.
- [08:47] <!CYOA-sama> '..... You're not a very good story teller. There was no lead in to that at all.'
- [08:47] <!CYOA-sama> 'SHUT UP AND LISTEN!'
- [08:47] <!CYOA-sama> Ahem...
- [08:48] <!CYOA-sama> My father who had run away with a succubus came back as an Incubus... a strong one.
- [08:48] <!CYOA-sama> This was about 4 years ago near the height of the monster wars.
- [08:48] <!CYOA-sama> So as the town was swallowed up and turned into an orgy the knights of the old king rode to protect us.
- [08:48] <!CYOA-sama> I was able to run.
- [08:49] <!CYOA-sama> I don't know how long I ran but I ran a lot.
- [08:49] <!CYOA-sama> From the first time I dodged a fat guy lost in lust who tried to rape me, to the hours I spent weaving through the alleyways dodging tentacle dicks.
- [08:49] <!CYOA-sama> I was scared.
- [08:50] <!CYOA-sama> I couldn't even find my way out of the town.
- [08:50] <!CYOA-sama> My mother was captured and turned into a lesser succubus sex slave.
- [08:50] <!CYOA-sama> After a full day I found myself surrounded, probably the only person left sane in the town.
- [08:51] <!CYOA-sama> In the town square I was cornered, and by my own father no less.
- [08:51] <!CYOA-sama> I can only imagine the look I must have had on my face, how angry and resentful I must have looked.
- [08:51] <!CYOA-sama> I know because instead of raping me he just looked down at me.
- [08:52] <!CYOA-sama> Something deep inside him felt guilt for doing this to his own daughter.
- [08:52] <!CYOA-sama> He hesitated.
- [08:52] <!CYOA-sama> And in that instant my angel descended from heaven.
- [08:52] <!CYOA-sama> ' Gay.'
- [08:52] <!CYOA-sama> 'YOU'RE GAY!'
- [08:52] <!CYOA-sama> Ahem...
- [08:52] <!CYOA-sama> I saw a light, and them my fathers tainted blood fell on my face.
- [08:53] <!CYOA-sama> And the demons around me were swallowed up in a maelstrom of blades.
- [08:53] <!CYOA-sama> A path appeared, I could have ran.
- [08:53] <!CYOA-sama> But I didn't care anymore.
- [08:53] <!CYOA-sama> Whatever miracle that saved me, I thought, would be overwhelmed by the corruption eventually.
- [08:53] <!CYOA-sama> For that moment I didn't want to live.
- [08:54] <!CYOA-sama> "I'll never find a man in a world full of monstergirls."
- [08:54] <!CYOA-sama> "I'll eventually get caught no matter how much I run."
- [08:55] <!CYOA-sama> "There's no point in moving forward, there's nothing left for me."
- [08:55] <!CYOA-sama> 'Were your thoughts black like your soul? Pfft...'
- [08:55] <!CYOA-sama> 'I WILL CHOKE YOU WITH YOUR OWN TONGUE!'
- [08:56] <!CYOA-sama> Ahem...
- [08:56] <!CYOA-sama> As I sat there, I looked up and I saw Aldeas standing there, covered in blood.
- [08:56] <!CYOA-sama> He looked down at me.
- [08:57] <!CYOA-sama> And he told me to run.
- [08:57] <!CYOA-sama> When I asked why his response was the simplest thing he could have said and it resonated with me in a really special way.
- [08:58] <!CYOA-sama> That 10 year old boy, who just killed a dozen demons like they were nothing looked down at me and said "Because I'll make a place for you to run too." with a smile.
- [08:58] <!CYOA-sama> I don't know if it was just the emotional wreck I was at the time.
- [08:59] <!CYOA-sama> But when he said that something inside me believed him.
- [08:59] <!CYOA-sama> I didn't know he was the prince, I didn't even know he was human, but I genuinely believed that no matter what was in the way he'd clear a path for me to run.
- [08:59] <!CYOA-sama> So I ran.
- [09:00] <!CYOA-sama> I ran in a straight line as fast as I could believing with all my heart that he would clear me a path to safety.
- [09:00] <!CYOA-sama> Even the flying imps and incubi that followed me couldn't catch me and there was nothing in front of me.
- [09:01] <!CYOA-sama> From the outside of the village to the town square where he saved me, there was not a single demon.
- [09:01] <!CYOA-sama> They were all swept away by Aldeas and his fathers knights.
- [09:02] <!CYOA-sama> I made it out of the village.
- [09:04] <!CYOA-sama> As the only survivor of what would become a pretty big incident I had a weird kind of fame.
- [09:04] <!CYOA-sama> But I always wondered about the guy who saved me.
- [09:04] <!CYOA-sama> You can imagine my surprise when I found out he was the prince.
- [09:05] <!CYOA-sama> For the briefest of moment I had fantasies of being his queen and falling in love with him.
- [09:05] <!CYOA-sama> It just seemed so poetic right? He saves me from this huge disaster and helps me get past my crushing despair and then we fall in love.
- [09:05] <!CYOA-sama> But.... when I went to the castle I met her.
- [09:06] <!CYOA-sama> Lady Lucia... even when they were 10 it was obvious that there was no one else who would ever be Aldeas' queen.
- [09:06] <!CYOA-sama> Aldeas remembered me and got me a job as a castle servant.
- [09:07] <!CYOA-sama> I watched Lucia with him, and I envied her so much.
- [09:07] <!CYOA-sama> I wanted Aldeas to look at me like that.... I still do I guess.
- [09:07] <!CYOA-sama> But I don't resent her.
- [09:07] <!CYOA-sama> She's amazing, and she deserves him.
- [09:07] <!CYOA-sama> SLAP
- [09:08] <!CYOA-sama> "O-ow...." Mesina says as she rubs her cheek.
- [09:08] <!CYOA-sama> "You're stupid...." Slana says as she sits on the redheads lap.
- [09:09] <!CYOA-sama> "Why what's wrong with having a little girl crush on the guy who saved your life?"
- [09:09] <!CYOA-sama> "Not that moron.... Lucia, that queen girl, she's human just like you."
- [09:09] <!CYOA-sama> "S-so?..."
- [09:10] <!CYOA-sama> "So why are you just giving up?!"
- [09:10] <!CYOA-sama> Slana clenches her tiny hands and looks up at Mesina with a pout.
- [09:11] <!CYOA-sama> "... It's not that I'm giving up, I just lost..." Mesina says as she rubs her head and makes an awkward smile with her catlike mouth.
- [09:12] <!CYOA-sama> "If you ask me, I think you're cuter and more interesting than that other girl..."
- [09:12] <!CYOA-sama> "That's only because you don't know her. Lucia is amazing and I'm proud I can actually call her my friend now!"
- [09:12] <!CYOA-sama> "BUT YOU STILL LOVE THE SAME GUY AS HER RIGHT?!"
- [09:12] <!CYOA-sama> .....
- [09:13] <!CYOA-sama> "I'm out of my league, frog girl." Mesina says as she puts a hand on Slana's head.
- [09:13] <!CYOA-sama> "You're sitting here treating one queen like a child, what's wrong with treating another like a rival?"
- [09:13] <!CYOA-sama> "... I don't want her to hate me..." Mesina says with a complicated expression.
- [09:14] <!CYOA-sama> "Would a friend hate you for acting on your feelings?" The uncharacteristically wise frog girl says with her hands on her hips as she stands up.
- [09:15] <!CYOA-sama> "Besides, whether you know it or not, you just admitted you think you could beat her." Slana smiles.
- [09:15] <!CYOA-sama> "You've got a better figure and a certain charm she doesn't have.... just tell the King how you feel and let him decide."
- [09:15] <!CYOA-sama> "I can't go behind Lucia's back like that......"
- [09:16] <!CYOA-sama> "You're surprisingly honest huh?..." Slana frowns.
- [09:16] <!CYOA-sama> "Then don't go behind her back.... if she's your friend tell her outright that you love Aldeas and want to be his mistress."
- [09:17] <!CYOA-sama> "..... What if she has me executed?..."
- [09:17] <!CYOA-sama> "I can tell just by the face you're making you know she'd never do that.... you wouldn't speak so highly of her if she would."
- [09:18] <!CYOA-sama> "W-Why are you offering me advice anyway?"
- [09:18] <!CYOA-sama> "Aren't you after him too?"
- [09:18] <!CYOA-sama> "That man will never love me, I just want his seed." Slana says flatly.
- [09:18] <!CYOA-sama> "..... Why do you think that?"
- [09:19] <!CYOA-sama> "Because he's already surrounded by so many other women that love him more than I ever could, including you."
- [09:19] <!CYOA-sama> The frog girl walks over to her bed, which is a floating giant lily pad on a small pool, and lays down.
- [09:19] <!CYOA-sama> "You can do what you want, but know that you have at least one person rooting for you."
- [09:20] <!CYOA-sama> "You only say that because you've spent more time with me...."
- [09:20] <!CYOA-sama> Slana looks across the room as the cross legged girl and smiles.
- [09:20] <!CYOA-sama> "And maybe Aldeas only likes Lucia more for the same reason..."
- [09:21] <!CYOA-sama> Mesina stands and walks out the door.
- [09:21] <!CYOA-sama> Her hands tremble as she hunches over and begins to cry.
- [09:21] <!CYOA-sama> 'What the fuck is this shit.... I didn't sign up for becoming this kind of tragic character....'
- [09:22] <!CYOA-sama> [A Place to Run - End]
