Okay! [ decisively-- ]

Then I'll tell you all the ones I know! Just... not all at once. That way, you'll have the memories for yourself.

[ She remembers what it's like to have lost all of her memories, and Roxas had said he'd had problems with it too, even before he'd said he didn't have any memories of before.

When he'd had a heart, then...

But the Roxas from then isn't the Roxas she knows now, and the Roxas she does know now is the one she wants to give those new memories to.

So Mary steps back, offering up a smile. ]


I can tell you the one about Beauty and the Beast today... that's one of my favorites.
immobileyes: (Just let me bask in the words)

[ She nods, moving over to the couch to settle herself down on one end and folding her fingers together in her lap. Will he like it? She's not sure... but at least he'll know the story exists when she's finished. ]

It's a tale about learning to love a monster.

[ So of course the monster herself would be invested in it. ]
immobileyes: (And what's over here now?)

It happens when a merchant goes on a journey and asks his children what they'd like for gifts. While his sons want weapons, his daughters all want pretty dresses and jewelry-- but his youngest daughter, Beauty, who isn't as selfish, just asks for a rose.

[ Mary straightens up a bit, her voice falling into the ease of one who has a story loved and memorized. ]

... Because he met with misfortune, though, the merchant couldn't afford to buy his children anything and had to seek shelter when a bad storm happened on his way home. He came across a castle and begged for shelter... where he found no one there, but a meal and a warm bed had been made ready for him, and he stayed the night there.

In the morning, when he was leaving, he came across a rose garden and found the most beautiful rose to take for his daughter. When he plucked it, though... a terrifying, hideous beast appeared and threatened to kill him for taking advantage of his hospitality by stealing.

The merchant begged for mercy and explained the situation-- and the Beast allowed him to return home, even giving him gifts for his other children, on the condition that the merchant would then come back.

Unhappy, but agreeing, the merchant returned home and gave his children their gifts... but Beauty realized something was wrong and got him to admit the truth. Upon learning, she told her father that this was her responsibility, and went to the castle in his place to stay with the Beast.

[ So he is interested... pleased with this, Mary takes a deep breath to continue. ]

The Beast actually treated Beauty very well, keeping her sheltered, well-fed, and cared for. Even though she was afraid of him at first, because of how scary he looked, she grew to care for him after speaking with him every day.

Every night, though, he'd always ask her to marry him, and she always refused him. But then she'd have dreams about a handsome prince asking her why she wouldn't marry the Beast, and she would tell him that she only saw him as a friend.

As time went on and the two of them grew closer, she started to miss her family, and asked the Beast if she could visit them. He allowed this, on the condition that she return to him in one week, and gave her a magic mirror and a ring. The ring would allow her to return to the castle instantly, and the mirror would let her see the Beast.

... Her family welcomed her back, but her sisters were jealous when they heard about how well she'd been treated-- so they pretended to be really sad and lonely to get her to stay an extra day, breaking her promise with the Beast. They thought if that happened, he'd turn on Beauty and kill her for her betrayal.

Beauty became very guilty about breaking her promise, though, and when she checked on the Beast in the mirror, it was to see him near death in the rose garden. His broken heart was too much for him to bear.

[ It's a curious thing he's mumbling about, like he's trying to confirm something... maybe it's awakened a memory?

Better not to ask right now, though, or ask anything else until the story's finished, so Mary continues. ]


Beauty hurried back to the Beast's side, fearing it was too late... because only now did she realize that she had finally fallen in love with him, even if he was a monster. So she told him, as she cried over him, "I love you."

When her tears touched him, the Beast vanished and was replaced by the handsome prince that she'd seen in her dreams. He told her that he'd been changed into a hideous monster by a fairy in disguise, after he'd refused to let her in out of the rain... and that the only way to break the curse was to find true love... to be loved by someone who could see past his ugliness.

And after that, he and Beauty were married, and lived happily ever after.

[ A decisive nod. ]
immobileyes: (What's a siscon?)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2016-01-27 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
...?

Did I... tell it weirdly?

[ He looks a little baffled. ]
immobileyes: (Let's look at the door)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2016-01-27 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Familiar? Wait, then you have heard it before?

[ Was it something from his forgotten past? Honestly, she's still wondering why it seems to be only him who can't remember what it was like when he had a heart, from what he'd told her about 'the others'.

Then again, losing your heart was probably a traumatizing experience in the first place... ]
immobileyes: (Well snap)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2016-01-27 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You... do you mean you went to a castle that had people like that?

[ Because that's what she's getting from this-- but she also knows better than to fling questions at Roxas when he's already told her that most things needed to stay confidential. Still... had he met the Beast? Beauty? Her eyes are brightening with curiosity as she stares at him. ]
immobileyes: (Uwaaaaaah--)

[ She's not sure what she's more surprised by: that Roxas is telling her more about the things in his past or that... it really does sound a lot like the story she'd just told him. ]

The things I read about ... um, the kind of monster I am... that wasn't completely true, either. Maybe all of the stories didn't happen exactly like that.

But that means they could have been the real thing! That's incredible, Roxas!
immobileyes: (Your name is so funny!)

[personal profile] immobileyes 2016-01-27 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't really say for sure... but it sounds a lot like it! And that would be amazing!!

[ MEETING MORE FAIRY TALES... ]
immobileyes: (I hear Disney music coming)

To think that there are stories about people you've seen...?

... You know, I wonder if someone will write a story about you one day, Roxas!
