Irritation crossed the prince's face. The nerve of this pirate! How he acted so high and mighty, all 'better than thou' because he was apparently in the right after all this-

Pause. Inhale. Exhale.

He hated to admit it, but Hook was bringing up some good points (none of which he would confess, of course). A few moments of silence passed before Adam spoke.

"My reasons are my own. While you may feel that you are entitled to hearing them, they are unnecessary. However... I am willing to put them aside temporarily, provided you behave." He turned his attention to a table with documents regarding the forthcoming visit from the delegation. "I do this for Belle, and not for some attempt at a ceasefire." The vital readings were lifted, and Adam intended on withdrawing to another part of the library. After all, Belle could be the reason Hook was here, and he didn't want her to catch them fighting.

Uninvited... Again

Adam raised an eyebrow and folded his arms. Really? He was asking this?

“I understand that Belle probably extended the invitation, but you have to remember: this is my castle. And I distinctly recall telling you not to step foot in here.” Even if it took finding a loophole in their last argument.  As for the rest of Hook’s speech? 

“Your presence in my library insults me.” Perhaps if he wasn’t so stressed with the upcoming delegate’s visit he would have been more tolerant of the other, but it was the last thing he wanted to deal with right now.

      “So you did!” he exclaimed, at last standing, “Do you mean to say y’ were not simply being derogatory? I thought you may have taken a brief break from trying to command me to do anything, considering it has never worked.” Arms folded over his chest, one eyebrow raising.

      “Hm. I sit quietly, I have no damaged any book I have touched, I was not the first to speak– you would not have even known I had come and gone, if you had not entered just now. And yet, you are insulted.” His head tilted, frown increasing. “Does the fact that you so strongly dislike me while your wife does not bother you? Do I remind you of someone, or perhaps the idea of someone, that has rubbed y’ the wrong way since we’ve met? I can of course understand the general… shall we say disdain, for an outlaw, but surely there is more to it for my mere presence to insult you.”

OOC:

On one hand, I’m super excited to see a certain movie that’s being released this weekend. Hopefully I’ll be able to get better insight on A.dam.

On the other hand, I’m kinda terrified because the focus might rapidly turn toward this movie, and thus, this account. Which is why I need to make a reminder.

THIS ACCOUNT IS BOTH MOSTLY INACTIVE AND PART OF A GROUP, SO IT WON’T BE INTERACTING WITH INDIES. 

There are top quality B.east/A.dam blogs that would love to rp with you. Don’t worry, it’ll be easy to find them! <3

“I wasn’t making a sound,” Adam countered. “But it is rather humorous.”

The prince just gives a quirk of an eyebrow, still laughing quietly to himself.

       “Silence. It is not humorous.” Hissing has become growling.

      HISSES @ YOU BC I SEE YOU LAUGHING, IT ISN’T FUNNY

[prince-beast]

The castle within the forest was a beautiful sight, both inside and out. No expense was spared to show the extravagance of each room. Ever since Belle had become a frequent sight in the corridors, life seemed to be abundant. The human servants had plants in the corridors, some rooms had gotten a lick of paint or a full makeover.

And the library? Well, it is hard to improve perfection. The current project was making sure the books were okay by giving them a thorough dusting. The two servants who were currently in the room were keeping themselves busy, somehow not paying too much heed to the pirate. Perhaps they thought Belle would arrive soon and the two would talk as they had before.

A voice could be heard in the corridor, approaching the library. "T-there is only a week until the delegates arrive, Master. It might be best if you consider reading up on some historical documents. I'm sure the state of affairs has changed there o-over the last ten years." The two servants, upon hearing the voice, began quickly gathering up their cleaning tools with the intention of making a swift exit. "Each delegate that visits is a small step forward to bringing ourselves back to where we once were." Cogsworth, the owner of the voice, seemed quite merry as he walked into the library. The majordomo nodded his head at the servants and they quickly scampered out, narrowly avoiding crashing into none other than Adam.

"Should you need anything, let us know." With a bow, Cogsworth departed the library, leaving the prince alone.

But we should discuss the pirate in the room, shouldn't we?

As soon as he saw the scarlet attire, he froze. This was ridiculous. No, not ridiculous... Absurd. Unbelievable. Aggravating. He resisted the urge to storm over to the pirate, to slam his hands on the table and order the brute out, but Belle could arrive in at any moment. For her sake he would refrain.

"You aren't supposed to be here, pirate." Not quite a greeting, but more a scolding. After everything that had happened the last time they spoke, Hook had the nerve to intrude?!

      If I recall correctly, the Prince had not wanted him in his castle. If he was in his castle, he did not want him in either of two places: Adam’s chair, or the library.

      Did Hook respect this? No, he did not, except the chair one, he was not bothering it. But he was in the castle, and he was in the library, namely because he did not generally respect the preferences of others who did not respect him either.

      Besides, the library was beyond impressive, and the pirate was not bothering anyone by being in it. He was seated and tenderly flicking through the yellowed pages of a historical book he had found (James lacked a great deal of knowledge in that department past his own time). The Captain was wise enough to sit somewhere he could see the entryway, however, just in case someone decided to enter and inform him he was unwanted. Or, if it was Belle, he could stand and bow respectfully to her, as he had never had the disagreements with she that he had with her husband.

For anyone who may have heard, the group we're in is now interacting with indies, and a lot of members have merged accounts, or updated information to show this. At the moment, that won't be happening here. This butt-head is my first muse, and still one of the most stubborn. He won't interact with others unless he absolutely has to, and he still has a lot of his 'grr I'm an anti-social ugly monster boo hoo hoo I'm not pretty' habits. He isn't the kind to go out and randomly bump into someone, but I don't want all the new threads to be "so-and-so stumbles upon the castle". I mean, other royals are an exception due to political trips and stuff, but still. Honestly, I don't think my portrayal of him is suitable for interacting with anyone outside the group. Not because I have doubts about my skills*, but more because I know *my* version of Adam won't do it. He wouldn't travel unless he had to. And if he happened to meet someone new he would do all in his power to get out of there fast. Forcing him to do otherwise would honestly result in me playing a different version of him, and I'm not ready to do that just yet. Bear in mind, this may change. In time I might figure out a suitable middle ground. For now, however, he's group exclusive. In the meantime, if you are an indie and wish to roleplay with an Adam, I would highly recommend @princebete. (But if you do wanna interact with me playing a Prince, pop over to @loveisamirror instead. He still needs friends. :P )

He was starting to get worried, as evident by the wringing of his hands as he turned the corner. Luckily for Belle, he didn’t see her as he continued searching. Soon, worry got the better of him.

“Belle?” He called out, hoping she was okay.

A Surprise Visit

[prince-beast]

He had knocked the door, but no one answered. Odd, wasn’t her father normally here? He leaned his head out of the porch to try and hear any noises from the basement but... Nothing. This was unusual. Maybe she wasn’t home after all. He knocked once more, and when he couldn’t hear anything, he placed the small bouquet in front of the door and began slowly making his way down the steps of the house.

A Surprise Visit

OOC:

I know, I’m not American. Still, I can’t help but acknowledge the meaning of today.

I am thankful for DERP. I really am. These last few years have been crazy, but having a chance to go cuckoo with people in the chat, get wrapped up in feels, partake in various shenanigans... I couldn’t ask for more. I am thankful for every one of you, don’t forget that. I mean, you all have put up with me and my activity pattern is the absolute worst (hat thread. Need I say more?). I should have been kicked out a long time ago. But.. I’m still here. I look forward to catching up with everyone in chat, seeing Mickey rolling around, or Hook and Adam ruining everyone’s day by breaking into yet another argument, or Jack and Sally not understanding anything, or everyone ganging up on Hans because he deserves it, or... I could keep going. But I shouldn’t. 

Instead, I leave you with this, a Thanksgiving gift from across the Atlantic. Some of you will remember me starting this, but I deliberately kept it until today. There’s no better way to show my love for the ohana. <3

Don’t worry, I tried to fit everyone in as best I can. Oh, and you all look lovely in the finished picture book/animation. :P

[prince-beast]

Adam rolled his eyes. "It isn't. I spent ten years stuck as a monster. I don't imagine you know how strange it is to be the complete opposite of what you are used to, but it is very uncomfortable." His paw clenched as though Adam was trying to will it back to normal.

"Unusual," he commented. "But I suppose anything can happen these days. Do many others know you can talk?" Adam clearly wasn't interested in pulling the fish out of water, but was actually trying to engage in conversation. Maybe a distraction would revert the paw to normal.

Oh great. A fish pitied him. What joy.

“It isn’t any of your concenr how I got cursed, or by whom. But since you asked, I normally turned into a large beast.” He lazily lifted his arms over his head to give a rough estimation of how large he became. Though when he heard that all fish could talk…

“That is odd. I have never heard them speak before.”

[prince-beast]

The Beast caught the scent of someone new, someone not from here. He prowled on all fours toward the woman, keeping his head low but his attention firmly on her. However...

The door opened to reveal a portly butler dressed in various shades of brown and gold. He looked past the woman, then at her. "T-terribly sorry, madam," he said softly before yanking her inside and slamming the door. As soon as he did that, a snarl could be heard on the other side of the door.

"Ah ha haah..." The butler laughed nervously, inhaling sharply afterward. "I-I am sorry for my behaviour. It was unprofessional of me b-but I would rather you stay out of harm's way...." He coughed into his hand before continuing. "I am Cogsworth, the majordomo of this palace. If you are looking for my Master I'm afraid he's... Out of normal form, yes, yes..." He took a few slow breaths before looking at the woman again. "How may I help you?"

Event Open

The servants were in a true panic. Seemingly overnight, their master had reverted to how he was before Belle had entered their lives, mentally and physically. They did their best to stay out of their way, but also to make sure he wasn’t disturbed by visitors in case he ate them or something. Even so, they couldn’t keep track of him all the time. The Beast was in one of the gardens, keeping a predator’s eye on the main doors. Someone was coming, he was sure of it.

Adam nodded slowly, pretending he knew exactly what Scotland was like compared to everywhere else. “A toy shop...?” He mused. As a child,he remembered the children of the servants wishing they could own a toy shop when they were older. What was it like? “Do... You make the toys?”

"I'd think you'd better come sit down." ((Non-event Adam))

“Oh thank you- It feels like I haven’t sat down in forever!” Olivia thanked the stranger, pulling a chair out and properly sitting down in it. She would have sat in a different position, since sitting properly was the most boring and uncomfortable way to sit. But if she knew anything, then sitting in any other position was considered improper, and she didn’t want to appear improper in front of a stranger.

Realizing that she had never properly met the stranger, she glared up at him only to be reminded that he was a human. She had never met that many humans before, and if she knew them then she should either flee from them, or enjoy their company. And all the humans she had ever met were not very fond of mice, but perhaps this one was different? Swinging her feet in her chair in an effort to seem careless about the topic, Olivia asked, “I don’t think I’ve er… met you before. Who’re you?”
