Voice post
[The muffled sound of things being shuffled and a few muttered words] Well, this is interesting, I wasn't aware that televisions - this is a television, yes? - could be used as a method of communication...

[He clears his throat a few times before speaking at normal volume] Hello? I-- well, I realize everyone is already aware of our predicament; but truly it isn't so bad. You see, if we are trapped, then that must mean that the Horseman is trapped as well. You are all much safer without him roaming free, I assure you.

Is there an... Aaron, yes; that's his name. Aaron, can you hear this? I do believe he is worried about you. Are you locked in a room as well? And there is someone else, but I cannot quite... oh, this is confusing... [His voice trails off into inaudible mutters]

	Ah, if only he were a normal horseman - but he is not. He is the Headless Horseman, a vengeful spirit come back from beyond the grave to wreak havoc upon the innocent townspeople of Sleepy Hollow. [A pause] Well, now his intended prey seem to be the residents of this building. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	..that. That is absolutely terrifying! And he is living in this building with us?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is indeed. I was unfortunate enough to encounter him during the last moon, and barely managed to escape with my life. I believe he does live here, although I am not sure of his... apartment number yet. Perhaps this will help with that. He cannot speak, so if we hear noises coming from a certain number with no voice, it may be him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will most certainly keep that in mind and be sure to steer clear of him should we get out of our rooms. I have no urge to run into something such as that! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are very wise, miss. A monster such as he cannot be reasoned with, as all he knows is his bloodlust and thirst for vengeance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This place seems to attract all sorts, does it not? From the friendly to the murderous. Sometiems I think I should be grateful for being locked in a tower. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackcatsrbad 2010-05-28 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Indeed it does. You, for example, seem very friendly indeed - and yet there are Horsemen and vampires dwelling amongst us. It is a rather odd combination. [A pause] You were locked in a tower, miss? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aa, that's true. A princess locked away forever, it seems. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackcatsrbad 2010-05-28 01:56 am UTC (link)
	A princess? Oh, forgive me, your Highness. I didn't know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nineteen_stars 2010-05-28 02:00 am UTC (link)
	I didn't know either. A girl named... Beauty told me that I was one of the princesses. Are all of them kept in towers? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackcatsrbad 2010-05-28 02:05 am UTC (link)
	No, I cannot say that all tales of princesses describe them being kept in towers. Some are, perhaps. Why are you locked away? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nineteen_stars 2010-05-28 02:23 am UTC (link)
	Then they are quite lucky, aren't the? And I'm not sure why my mother locks me away. I've never asked because I know she would never answer. It's simply how things have always been. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackcatsrbad 2010-05-28 03:06 am UTC (link)
	Your mother has done this to you? I'm sorry, your Highness. I cannot imagine why any parent would do such a thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nineteen_stars 2010-05-28 03:13 am UTC (link)
	For protection...? It's the only thing I can think of, though I've always wondered what she could be protecting me from... [there's a sound of fabric rustling, presumably as she takes a seat to get comfortable] It's not so bad, I suppose. I'm quite used to this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackcatsrbad 2010-05-28 04:07 am UTC (link)
	Hm. [A thoughtful pause] I suppose that could make sense. There are a great deal of dangerous things that wander these halls. Weren't you free the last time this change occurred? I do not recall the doors being locked before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nineteen_stars 2010-05-28 04:12 am UTC (link)
	I was free last time. A prince came and rescued me from my room and we had a lovely adventure together! [let's not mention that she can barely remember this adventure] But. He won't be coming any longer. He's quite displeased with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackcatsrbad 2010-05-28 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Princes often do end up rescuing the princess. But why is he displeased with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nineteen_stars 2010-05-28 04:31 am UTC (link)
	I... well. She convinced me to do it. This other girl. She said I ought to because I cannot let my mother control my life forever... So. I cut a bit of my hair off. It wasn't much though! You can hardly notice! But he said that my hair was my crowning glory and with it cut and damaged, he would no longer come to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackcatsrbad 2010-05-28 04:36 am UTC (link)
	He is displeased with you because you cut off your hair? [A confused pause, during which he tries to understand and fails] If I may say so, this prince does not sound as though he is of good character. Surely you do not look that different, even with a bit of your hair gone. It should not matter to him, if he truly likes you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nineteen_stars 2010-05-28 04:41 am UTC (link)
	Then it must be a case where he did not truly like me. Perhaps my mother was wise in keeping me locked in the tower if princes behave like that. I have no need for being toyed around with. I may not know much about the world beyond, but I still have feelings that can be hurt, and he most certainly hurt those this evening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is only one prince, your Highness; surely not all act as he does. There are some who are good and kind, and others who are not - just as there are good and bad people, this also applies to royalty. Not even a prince has the right to hurt a lady's feelings. He should know better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nineteen_stars 2010-05-28 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	Or perhaps there is simply no prince who needs a princess left. Men are confusing, anyways. Everything seems to get complicated around them. (Reply to this) (Parent)
