[ This Disney princess thing seems to be going around because the camera jerks on as Mithian waves her hand about.] What---! [ There's a sort of squeak from Mithian and she seems to be batting something away from her face. Then she's lunging towards her wardrobe--] No, no! Get away from there. I said shoo-- [ Camera finally focuses on... well, birds. Little pretty birds who are trying to lift one of Mithian's heavy gowns up and bring it towards her. And failing. There are many of them but they can't seem to hold the thing up for very long before they start to lose their balance.] No, I... [ And again more sweeping gestures of her hands because there are more birds trying to mess with her hair, carrying flowers and ribbons.]

The animals have gone absolutely mad here. [ And in the background there's a chorus of birds and mice who seem to mimic what she says but in their mousey, birdy song, tweeting and squeaking.] They seem keen on dressing me.

[ He can't even joke or make light about the situation for her benefit because... w... h... a... t... do you even say to that, really. ]

[ This is clearly no laughing matter!! But he can't exactly offer to fight small, woodland creatures either. Finally, he asks the only sane question which comes to mind: ]

You are... unharmed?

[ex_surprising150]

What is...? [Yeah. She's completely dumbfounded right now.]

Is there, um, any way that I could help? Shoo them away so you can focus on getting dressed yourself? [Though it is a bit adorable.]

[burping]

Gwen? Is that you? [ She's gently scooping up a few mice to put on her window sill, off her bed.] I am dressed but they seem to want to dress me for something more formal. Like a ball-- [ when she says that word, there's a tizzy amongst the animals, excited sounds.]

video.

[ex_surprising150]

Why would they want something like that? And for that matter, how are they even able to dress you?

Such odd animals...

[starkbastard]

[Okay, this is new...]

How...is that even possible?

[Birds are not that smart after all. Heh, Orell?]

[burping]

I do not know.

[starkbastard]

[This world is truly strange and hard to understand.]

Do you require any help chasing them away before they hurt you?

[toldastory]

Dressing you? Like in one of those Mouse films? [Mouse is the new Disney.]

[burping]

Mouse films? What are films?

[toldastory]

[Right Martha, explanations are good.]

They're a bit like filmed theatre performances, only as if there wasn't a barrier between the stage and the audience. Mouse films do a lot of fairy tale sort of films with princesses who can talk to animals and the like.

[ oh no Princess what. What kind of.

What. Gwaine's got a complimentary sympathetic grimace for her...? ]

Safe to say I've never seen that happen before.

[burping]

Nor I. [ She is almost amused but... mostly not.] I have no idea what to do with them either.

[verybigpheasants]

Well, there's trying to put up with them for however long they're plaguing you. Or, possibly, thinking of incredibly tasking and complicated things to keep them occupied elsewhere.

What in the world--?

[ THAT'S ALL HE CAN SAY. ]

[burping]

I cannot say, your highness. It began this morning and has not stopped.

[Video]

[foodshortage]

How... absurd.

[mccallmemaybe]

You must have the same curse Allison has...

Your clothes must be really heavy.

[burping]

Yes, we spoke earlier. It is hardly torture but it is quite a nuisance.

My gowns are made from many fabrics, yes.

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

Yeah, it's definitely getting on her nerves... [ He doesn't often see Allison annoyed about anything but all the telltale signs are there. ] It's funny because I was calling her a Disney princess the other day... Maybe I jinxed her. [ Oops. ]

Have you thought about wearing modern clothes? They might be comfier for you and weigh a lot less.

[digophelia]

[Lucky for you, she doesn't really laugh. Smiling, however, smiling pretty wide.]

Are they under some sort of spell? I must admit, I am a little envious.

video;

[burping]

I suppose they must be. Although you should not be envious, they are rather a pain.

video; i'm late, whatever.

[foundandfinding]

[ She can't help but gawk a bit. That's exactly, like exactly, what she remembers seeing in movie versions of her and her friends' lives. ]

Okay, they have definitely gone out of their little birdy minds.

video; psh whatevs <333

[burping]

It seems so. And they may make my own mind go birdy.
