emily will find a better place to fall asleep

[meritocracy]

Who: Princess Natalia
What: Set a day after this post.
When: All day, basically throughout the week. Just pick a time and date!
Summary: She had been hurt. Badly. Today she opened her eyes.

When she awoke she could not speak. She opened her mouth but no words came. When she tried to get up, tried to move her legs, she found she could not. There was nothing Natalia hated more than being unable to move, let alone speak. And yet this is what the Malnosso had dealt her.

I suppose I spoke too much. However I do not regret my decisions. These horrible scientists have done too much. I would raise my voice again.

It's easy for her to say, but now, still in her bloodstained shift and bandages around her neck but that doesn't mean words will come.

Her breathing hitches and with it a dagger of pain, as Natalia stares blankly up at the cieling. Would that she could speak. There was nothing but silence now, and pain--numbness. She had never been so tired before.

[Natalia still cannot speak or move, but she has enough energy to be able to be carried around the village if anyone is kind enough to get the things she needs. Like books, anything to amuse the Princess.

When she isn't doing that she's carried to the kitchen to watch others clean or make dinner, mutely enjoying their company. She'll be trying to somehow find a way to be useful.]
