Long Live King Richard?

I'm looking for a woman named Marian.
I suppose she has red hair, ~~big beautiful eyes, full of so much love and tenderness...the finest, furriest tail...~~ I suppose she could be described as a vixen.

And there's also a fella by the name of Little John. Friendly. Big guy. Could do with skipping a couple of meals. Very Bearish.

There's got to be someone here from Sherwood? Nottingham? England? The Crusades? Anybody?

Robin Hood.

...Robin Hood?

~~Oh god, you're KIDDING me.~~

I don't get it. Who's Robin Hood?

...Nevermind.

Anyway, the Crusades are long over.

You know of me? Huzzah!
Are you from Sherwood?

No, but I know the Crusades are long over. Sorry, I haven't seen any of your friends, either...

They are? How long ago?
I met the King upon his return, of course, but I hadn't any idea things were really finished out there.

Do you have any idea what or where this place in. I think I'm tempted to even ask 'when'?

At least a thousand years. It's 2006 where I'm from, but I don't know what year it is here.

It's a mental hospital. Kind of.

Oh.

Mental you say...

This place is one giant headache, so I'm warning you now.

But I don't think anyone in here is actually crazy. No one I've met, anyway.

I can imagine. I already have one.
If this truly is a holding of Mental Persons, where are the prison guards? ~~An escape should be easy once we have our bearings.~~

This board is read by Officials here, correct?

Anyone can read this thing, and from what the doctor said on the intercom I'm guessing yes. Also, some people post...disturbing things. Just be careful, okay?

I know there are "guards" that come out at night, if you can call them that. Don't be alone. ♥

Thank you for your warnings and your help. I am in your debt. Should you ever be in need, just seek me out. I don't look how I once did, but I'm sure you will find me.

~~A heart? Alas, while flattered, I am a married man now.~~

Guards?

No problem! I'm sure we'll run into each other soon, anyway.

And yeah...more like monsters, I'd say.

Robin... Hood?

The Robin Hood?

Don't bother, you'll only confuse yourself and everyone else.

Trust me.

But! Robin Hood is one of my heroes!

Me? Really? Well, shucks. It's always nice to meet a friend. Have we met before?

Good sir, we have never had ther chance to meet befoer now! ~~I never even knew if you were real...~~

I am a Lord and King in the footsteps of Arthur the Great! It is an honor to meet you, Robin of Sherwood!

I suppose I could be. I haven't met any others, and I do have quite a reputation.

Is it a good thing that you recognise me? If you're in here then you're an ally?

Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor? Winning the heart of the fair Maid Marian? Rescuing all of England from the tyrannous clutches of Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham?

You're one of my heroes!

Oh thank the heavens! I'm not alone here! Have you seen Marian? And what of your body. Has it...been changed? I haven't seen anyone else like us.

Well thank you. It is my honour and duty to protect the people of this country. Although, are we in our country?

I'm afirad I've only read about you, Sir Robin. Changed? No... nothing's changed.

We aren't in either of our countries, I'm afraid. I come from... a land in the east. This is a place called America. The Spanish discovered it. Or maybe the Vikings....

You're not in your time, sir.

People have written of me? Hah! The word has spread of good deeds, I am glad to hear. Perhaps I wont be as alone here as I imagined.

It seems to me I may be one of the few, if not only, to have suffered from some form of body alteration.

I can believe that I am not in my country. But my time? How could I have possibly been taken from it. Though, looking around I could almost believe it makes perfect sense.

We must meet, my good Sir. I have a good feeling about you.
Who is Arthur? Another Ally?

There are dozens of books extolling your deeds! I've read them all! And my mother hails from France, Sir Robin!

Maybe not... I can't say more on a public venue, but if we could speak in person...

It's difficult to believe, but it's the truth. We've been taken by... sorcery of a type. Powerful and dangerous sorcery!

The library, then! And my loyal knight would love to meet you as well, I'm sure!

Arthur... King Arthur, of the Britains. Lord of Camelot? Leader of the round table? He died before your time....

Well, I'll be! Wait until Johnny hears this! Lord, how I hope the Phony knows about this too. What word is there of Prince John? And Little John? And the Friar? Oh my, this is something else! France. A name I recognise!

I shall seek you out in the Library, but how shall I know you?

Indeed, that would seem to be the case. You have Knights? That will certainly help.

I'm afraid tales of him never eached my ears.

Prince John was a usurper and a foul little man who sought to steal King Richard's glory and throne. He was a petty, vile creature. Little John was noble and true, your right hand man! There are tales of you all - Good Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet, Allen Dale the minstrel....

I am tall and blond, and rather young looking. My good knight is a red head. I realize I never even gave you my name! I am Lord Suou Tamaki!

A rag tag group, but they are loyal and true!

A pity. King Arthur was one of the greatest kings England ever saw.

Yes! I feel as though I'm almost home already. You have given me such hope. I can't thank you enough.

Lord Suou Tamaki, I Robin Hood am at your service. I shall find you.

I am sad I was never in his time, then.

You are so very welcome! Truly, it is an honor to converse with you!

I am eager to when we can speak face to face.

So am I, Sir Robin, so am I.

Oh dear lord. First Marluxia, now Robin Hood. What more can a bloke ask for in the incredibly odd department?

What year was it then? Forgive me for not brushing up on my fairy tales.

Marluxia?

1210, and it was no Fairy Tale, believe me.

Over a good four hundred years before my time, then. It would be safe to say that your king is dead, the Crusades are over and so is anyone else from your time; however, that appears to be the general consensus, so you should know this by now.

Tis a fairy tale to the lot of us, I'm sorry to say. Consistency is no pressing issue, here.

Okay, different times and worlds I can take, but books?

Please tell me you're joking.

So Robin Hood's a book?

I honestly have no idea who this guy is...

Yeah, it's a book about this guy who steals money from the rich people to give to the poorer people, and he did a bunch of stuff to help out the people of England. I've only skimmed it, myself, but...if this is really an older Earth, like everyone keeps suggesting, they might have it in the library.

Books? History books. I assure you I'm real.

It was hardly stealing. I merely reclaimed what had been unfairly taken from the good people of England. You could say it was a little like... the circle of life. They took, we reclaimed and they took it back. Only they started taking too much...

Maybe it was based off of history, but I could have sworn that it was a fiction book. Oh well. Still, never would have thought I'd hear that anyone was from that long ago.

From what I've heard, there wasn't anything wrong with what you did. Sure, you didn't handle things in their twisted legal way, but they had it coming.

A vixen, huh?

Sounds like a babe~

But if we find her, I ain't sharin'!

~~Just you try it, buster~~

Your threat lacks any challenge.

The king is dead.

People here seem the think the same ought to be true about me.
Maybe the King will find his way here. I hope, for his sake, he doesn't.

But then who would take care of Maid Marian?

I am not your Marian, but I too used to have a fox tail. And a fox body, at that.

I am not the same as you, but my body has been changed in a similar way.

Can we meet?
I was beginning to think I was alone in this.

I look like everyone else, but with long yellow hair (most inconvenient). These humans all look similar so I hope you don't mistake me for anyone else, but you're welcome to come find me.
