Voice Post//On the Move//Mistletoe'd

[treadingdawn]

With heavy cloak in hand I think I may be able to escape detection. The journey will be difficult but a king has his responsibilities and I for one will not turn them away in the face of such peril. I hope to hear from you all upon the day's end. Be safe.

open to action | King Caspian flees

[Have yourself one no-longer-bearded Telmarine trying to creep stealthily through the city streets, on his way to The Blue Light...because telling the Network your plan is the best idea ever.]

[Have a Queen of Narnia going about her shopping. She's managed to only get cornered a few times today, but she spots Caspian and she can't help but go say hello. Look, he's really really obvious]

You know anyone with eyes can tell who you are.

[You know what? You know what? That's not fair cause it's Lucy, of course she's going to know fffffffff. At least she's not a unicorn. But anyway WOOSH. The cloak makes a full sweeping circle when he turns around, one might think he'd be whipping a sword out. Not that kind of sword.]

Oh, Lucy. It's you.

[Relief, except not because the handsome lamp post beside them is slowly, slowly sprouting the kissing sprig.]

[Her own cloak swishes a little and she draws the hood down a bit]

I certainly hope you weren't anticipating some kind of attack.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Never from you of course.

[He even smiles, hood down now for him to...shake out his fine hair.]

Have you found much of what you were seeking?

You have a responsibility to run and hide like a little girl?

[Little does Claire know, as she walks along with bags in hand, that they are on a collision course for what has become tradition.]

[Well obviously because she's talking to him on the Network she can't possibly be anywhere nearby...right?? He's coming down the street from around the corner perpendicular to hers. Not just yet though. Nooooot yet...]

I have a responsibility not to shirk my duty as dual owner of a fine establishment. And you?

[adamantined]

[Right! And because she's coming out of a busier-than-necessary store, it's ridiculous to think that they might even remotely come into contact with each other. Besides, there isn't even anywhere for mistletoe to curl at this point, which is why she's paying more attention to her network device than where she is actually going.]

I've got a responsibility to make sure I get presents for everyone on my list, but you don't see me running around with a bag over my head.

How much have you accomplished without interruptions?

[Gosh she doesn't even sound like she's nearby so Caspian can keep on walking paying attention to this device as he pauses just before the corner turn to listen.]

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

[What up, Caspian. It's a witch and she's strolling your way because she's forgotten a pair of mittens at work and needs to pick them up before continuing on with her shopping.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Flutter flutter flutter flutter. That's the sound his cloak makes as he breezes by, narrowly missing the witch except he gives himself away real real real...real easy.]

Ginny?

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

[Ginny had been side-eying this mysterious cloaked figure in the moments before he speaks to her, if only because she is a little more paranoid with certain new arrivals to the City.

But that accent is definitely familiar. Pause, squint.]

Caspian?

[Then she cracks a grin.]

What in Merlin's name are you doing?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[No worries no dark mark here.] Hello. I was doing my best to arrive at The Blue Light without--

[Without warning Caspian reaches out to grab Ginny and dip her for a kiss. Is that a pigeon circling overhead with a sprig in its beak? Cursed beast.]

[deadly_legacy]

[Here is a princess who is used to spoiling the best laid plans of soon-to-be emperors without even trying. Maybe it works on kings as well. After all, she's not looking for Caspian, but she does seem to be passing near his path.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[WOOSH. The cloak makes a half circle when he detects pink from the corners of his eyes. No not a sparkling unicorn but her radiance comes fairly close.]

Oh Eu--oh no.

[WOOSH AND FLUTTER. His approach is fluid he may as well be doing some kind of paso doble as he takes the princess by the hand to spin her towards himself.]

[deadly_legacy]

Oh! [And she is spinning—gracefully even—right into Caspian's arms. She blushes lightly.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Safely in his hold, Caspian leans down for the kiss some ladies only dream about. If Euphemia was the sort of princess under an enchantment surely his kiss would wake her up.]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

[All he wants is a fucking drink. That's. All. So he's just outside the Blue Light, about to head in the door.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[It was a long and hard road but Caspian has finally made it to the Blue Light. He nods once to the man by the entrance. He's not a very attractive man therefore the Telmarine perceives him as no kind of threat. What a mistake.]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

[It's over the doorway, the little shit. Pink doesn't even know how suave he looks when he grabs the man next to him and almost dips him to kiss the taller man on the mouth.]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

[Rosella is not spending her day avoiding kisses or Christmas shopping. Rosella is spending it running all over the City, looking for a missing unicorn. But of course, a guy under a cloak creeping stealthily through the streets is not something one sees every day, and is worthy of a pause for a second glance.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Caspian's hood is up too far for him to notice Rosella just yet. Fortunately there's no unicorn in the midst either because if there were the Telmarine might not be paying enough attention to avoid getting his eye poked out. That's what Lightfoot told him unicorns can do.]

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

[The nice thing about stopping to stare is it means she gets a breather from all that running. And the longer she looks, the longer she thinks he looks familiar somehow, and moves at an angle to try to get a better glimpse under his hood.]

Er. ...Hello?

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

[ Have a Cameron walking around the City on her way to get groceries, seeing a not-really-stealthy man with a cloak. Which is sublte and does not attract attention at all, really. ]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[ Caspian has yet to spot that he's been spotted and as stealthily as he can be...he moves right towards her unaware of his course being set for a collision. ]

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Whoa! Hey. [ Raising her hands and waving them a little to catch his attention. But it's a little late, so they just connect with his shoulders. ]
