The sound of buzzing announces the arrival of Beeatrix Majidaunt as she summons herself forth on a quest to the Blood Pit operator whom had forged her beloved bees this fine fair and give them many thanks.

She was wearing her more christian and holy attire for this mission as she had finished her own holy errands. She would change to her normal wizardly robes, but she was admittedly a smidge lazy.

She calls out, "Hello~! Is anyone here?"

"Howdy, baby doll. Here to get your pets bled some more. We have some openings coming up. :)" Princess says as she points double finger guns at Beeatrix.
Beeatrix waves off such guess and tells Princess, "No... Well not this moment at least."
"I've just come over to give you my thanks for doing such a magnificent job on my lovely bees. They are getting along with the rest of my buzzing flock and make for excellent additions to the holy choirs I do."

"You use those bees for singing, love?"
"They spin a surprisingly good yowl and buzz with pleasing reverberations fit for singing the praise and prayers!"
Beeatrix offers, "I could offer you a viewing if you so desire."

"Hmmm I'm not so sure, love. It sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't know. I got this annoying voice in my back of my head telling me I better not indulge too much in the anomalous."

"You know what? Maybe I should just ignore it, yeah? Can't let the voices in the back of your head tell you no all the time. Lets make it a date."
Beeatrix then snaps back into attention and says, "I... Don't think I asked about that, but... Wait a second..."

She looks at Princess up and down before telling her...
"The ceremonies are not anomalous in that manner like everything else going on around here. It is just singing Caborhunds!"
Beeatrix then has something else flicker in her mind as she muses on some things, "I can definitely arrange a time for us to listen to them, but I came here more because I wanted to ask for your name."
"Yeah it's singing caborhunds, but it's for a religious ritual, you know hun? You'll be attracting the gods to watch your performance!"
The notail laughs at the question. "Love, you don't know my name? Come on, you know it. We've been meeting all this time and we've never exchanged name and number?"

"I'm the notail!"
Wait....
"That's........"
"Well you know, notails are bad at naming things. I just went with what was simplest! No other notails work in my field after all!"
"B-classes. ;D"
The notail shakes her head. "Not sure why I said that. I'm working with a god machine. B-classes don't do what I do! I do what they do, better."
[Craftsman sighs.]
"Just call me Sheila, sweetie. Sheila rings the best. ;D"

"Actually, nevermind, d-don't call me Sheila."
"Brings back some bad memories."
Beeatrix continues on to say as she steps around and buzzes happily. "Oh, so you are just, 'The Notail?'?"

Beeatrix makes note of this as she tells Princess, "I thought it silly for me to ask as well, but I just wanted to make sure. Such a vague name left me unable to actually mail my thanks over so I had to come in person to say it!"
"Heh heh! Sorry! I should have told you, if you just mail it to "The Notail" everyone will know who you're talking about!"

"You sure that wouldn't just confuse the mailman?"
"Like I said, hun. I'm the only notail around these parts."
"Makes me wonder what happened with the others... ;D"
"The others?....."
Beeatrix cocks her head and asks, "There are others?"
"...Hey, sweetie... You've seen someone wearing a goat head or a tall notail around the parts? They have a kid wearing pink with them. ;D"
================================
"I regret making this character......"
The Poetnix looked at his book, the pages where "Princess" or, as he wrote her, "The Notail" appeared became tattered with holes as her own existence ripped apart pages.

She was problematic, and if she kept going in this direction, she could ruin parts of the story.

The Poetnix would have to counteract this. He picked up a pen, and prepared to clash with the logic of the being that dwelled within "The Notail".

"Yeah! Those are fellas I escaped the D-class holding facility with!"
"I couldn't give you any names sadly. We just knew each other by appearances, you know?"
[Inscryption OST - Leshy's Theme]
"What? I guess? Are you alright...? I didn't expect to be told this but I'm happy to get to know you more if you want to talk about that."
"Quite funny, don't you think? Being called The Notail when there's others around. We wear pink, we have a unicorn mask... Why we're not described by our looks but rather our species? ;D"
"I'll tell you why! Cause I'm the only notail that matters!"
"Yeah!!!"
Beeatrix perks up as Priest and says proudly, "I'm happy to listen to your problems and woes if you want a feelings honey jam here."
She feels like she is missing something here.
"There's no woes or problems. In fact, she's been the happiest in years... But still..."
"Considering we're the most important notail around, why don't you ask a few questions? The path of us being the only notail that matters truly seems like a topic I'd like to talk about, hohoho! ;D"

Beeatrix is, of course, not particularly stupid to the situation going on here and did want to mention how The Notail looked like Princess and she knew a Princess, but she hear from others that calling Princess is rude and she wanted to be nice.

Beeatrix asks The Notail, "Are you talking about me?"
"Yeah I'm open to questions....."
"But if you don't want to ask any, that's fine. Sorry, it was a suggestion."

Beeatrix asks Princess, "Do you have any friends or family?"
"Buddy, I'm an escaped D-class, and a notail. We're not known for having family. The only people I really know those three that I mentioned before."
"And to be honest...we're not really that close. Sort of went our own ways after the event."
"How'd you get here then?"
"A ship! I mean come on, not everyone in this universe sucks ass. I asked for a lift. I joined in, and I got hired for some work."
"Not what she meant. ;D"
"How we, a D-class, escaped from the Notail Union. ;D"
"Hey I'm going to be blunt, I got a little brain issue going on where I try to fight myself outloud."
"Sort of like when you have an annoying voice that tries to put you down wherever you go, except I can't stop saying it."

Beeatrix guesses that is acceptable but find it more hard pressed that a escaped D-class didn't have any friends! It was just too sad for Beeatrix to fathom, "Is that really true? No friends or family or anyone to pilot a ship to get you anywhere? No one to make you honey tea when you are sick or take care of you when you are in need?"
"Nope. I got no one, just me, and myself."
"I don't want to talk about how I escaped the D-class facility. It was.....quite traumatic."
Beeatrix gasps! "That is terrible! No friends at all?!"
"Sweetie..."
"I'm your friend now. Hi."
"I'm Beeatrix Majidaunt! Dragonslayer, Leader of the Magi of the Impetus Hexagon, Cleric of the Crossed Hexagon and a Fantasy Novel Author."
Beeatrix gives a small bow to The Notail and says, "You can consider me your friend if you want, The Notail."
"Pleasure to meet you, and I'm glad to be your friend... Beeatrix? Huh, familiar. Still, isn't there more interesting questions to talk about? If you want a few pointers, I'm here to help. ;D"
Beeatrix then tells The Notail, "I had a friend who actually had the same problems as you do now infact. I met her, what feels like, eons ago."
"Sorry I'm going to admit. I'm quite lonely, which is why I want to talk with you. But seriously, you can leave."
"I don't want to impose."

"Said it was like a noisy craftsman in her head, hammering away at some craft, but I think that was just a muse thing? Might not apply here."

"So, let me ask this. After you left the planet, what did you get up to to get your life back together after the D-class hubub?"

But Craftsman, who was in Princess' mind, thought of something in the middle of this all. "I can leave this." God was in these lands, he could not deny. All he would have to do was call out to god, and surely he would split him and Princess apart!

If he did that, it would be easier to remind Princess of who she was. To bring her back into reality.

So suddenly, Craftman moved the body away from the god machine. Surely the god could be found somewhere near Longfur's home.

Beeatrix cocks her head as she waits for an answer, if anything.
She eventually asks again with concern in her voice, "Are you ok? You can sit down if you want. I could make us some honey tea maybee."

[Craftsman stays still, thinking about something.]
"...Tea...Huh...? ;D"

Craftsman couldn't have tea! He knew this! His soul and Princess' soul would fuse if he did not separate from her!

It is then that Craftsman decided to leave the area. This wasn't for him, he did not care. This was for Princess. His love. His other half.

"May I be honest with you, sweetie...?"
Beeatrix looks at The Notail with a buzz of her wings and a confused expression on her face, "You can to me, Beeatrix Majidaunt. Shoot."
"I'm having what one could call a religious epiphany..."

Craftsman pulls a gun.
"And I've learned there's only one way to solve this type of situation. ;D"
"The Notail! What are you doing! Put down that gun!!!"
Princess The Notail holds the gun away from herself!

"I don't know what I'm doing...."

IT IS IN THIS MOMENT, THAT CRAFTSMAN, REFUSED TO SHOOT THE GUN.

Beeatrix buzzes with fright as she doesn't know how to handle this, "There are better ways to handle this sort of problem then with suicide or violence! I know you were lonely and the world was set against you, but you've managed to get so far to this point! You can change and make things better for yourself!"

She gulps and tells The Notail, "Just put away the gun..."
Craftsman musters his will to bring the gun to their head.

"Never expected I'd be the one doing this. Hohoho... Say to Vodka that I'm sorry, ok? She's my kid, the small notail in pink."

CRAFTSMAN PUTS THE GUN DOWN.

Beeatrix looks around in a bit of a panic as she tells The Notail, "Just... Drop the gun... We can play card games and read books! I am your friend here and I will not hurt you. You don't have to do this!"
Beeatrix tells The Notail as she continues to stand in place and nervously buzz, "We can get you help. I know a lot of really nice people who would love to meet you."
Beeatrix was a few steps from calling someone like Maggy or Judas in to help the situation... Beeatrix could be bold and forceful and try to take the gun from them, but she didn't want to take any chances. If she left for a moment, things could go sour.

FINE! Have it your way. I will not let you kill her. That is not what I wanted.

Princess, with the barrel of the gun against her head, panicked. She remembered she was no simple shopkeeper. She remembered the incident. She remembered her co-workers, she remembered her child, and most of all she remembered the two that she loved, O-5 and Craftsman.

She had been freed from the hold by the Limbo god.

How smart Craftsman was. Princess and him, were worth more to the Limbo god alive than dead.

Princess knew, that this meant one day soon, she and Craftsman's soul would fuse. They would be unseperatable from each other, even in death. They would become a new person, instead of two separate ones.

Princess drops the gun.
"Holy fuck, thanks. I nearly got anomalized by a fucking limbo god for the second time this life. :)))))))"
Beeatrix immediately attempts to take the gun and say, "Good. Good..."
"Thanks for sticking to our guns. If an anomaly has a hold of you, shoot yourself in the head. :)))"
Beeatrix pauses and says, "No! That isn't the morale at all! What are you saying! That doesn't make sense!"
"Glad to see you back. Thought I've been demoted to "little brain issue", hohoho! ;D"
"So fucking rude of the limbo god to demote you like that. You're more than a little brain issue, you're my brain issue. :)"
"Sorry you had to watch that shit. Can we start this conversation over? :)"
Beeatrix attempts to at least... Keep a gun away from The Notail. She thinks their situation improved?
Beeatrix asks, "What happened and why did you do that? That was crazy!"
"My name is Princess. I'm one of the O-class leaders, and the other person in my head is Craftsman, he fucked himself over and now he lives in there. :)"
"But honestly, it worked out for the best. :)"
Beeatrix has it click in her head and she says, "Ooooooo."
Beeatrix asks as she pockets the Gun, "What was all that about then. With the gun and everything?"
"Everyone should carry a weapon to shoot themselves with. Craftsman, tell her. :)"
"Drastic situations mean drastic measures... And, uh... ;D"
"Not to pester you, but could you hand that back? I doubt you have a license. ;D"
"Yeah give that back. There's anomalous shit going on, I might still need to shoot ourselves. :)))"
Beeatrix doesn't quite believe it is them and says, "I'll give it back if you really are Craftsman and not another strange delusion intent on pulling another insane stint!"
Beeatrix asks, "What class were you when we played together, Craftsman?"
"Oh. You. That was years ago in the prison planet... Shaved your beard? Hohoho! ;D"
"Let me see... We played that game of yours to pass the time... Larp? Blarp? And I was a... Waxlock? ;D"
"I don't remember playing Blarp with you..... :)"
Beeatrix squints at Princess and Craftsman and hums to herself before she sighs.
Beeatrix presents Princess with the Gun and tells them, "Don't make me regret this. I hate regretting things."
Craftsman gently takes the gun
"Don't worry, little Beeatrix. I, as a artist, still intend to make my craft for many years to come. ;D"
"This is just a plan C of sorts. ;D"
Beeatrix had 1 thousand questions of her own to ask on the situation given apparent blessings and everything else going on.

She gives a cute huff before brightening up her expression, "The plan C is shooting yourself. That does not build confidence."
Beeatrix shrugs and says, "But, if things really are that bad. How did Princess get here. What is going on here to require such as dire option as suicide."
Beeatrix fakes a shudder.
"By the way Beeatrix. Sorry for this. I remember when we had tea and soda together, that was great. :)"
Beeatrix gulps and brushes her hair back. She regains her cool senses and tells Princess, "Yes. I feel another small meeting with one and another is in order later. If you are here and were under a blessing. That must means something large is going on in this little book fair."
Beeatrix tells Princess with a florish of her robes, "For now I must collect my thoughts and prepare for whatever might go down. Tell my fellow Christians all about this news at least."
Beeatrix then tells Princess and Craftsman, "It was very nice to see you two again. I just wish it were not in such a time like breaking a foul spell placed over you."
"Wait a moment...I wouldn't have tea with a......." Princess decides to not end that sentence.
"Why do I remember having tea with you? :)"
Beeatrix looks to Princess a little confused, "No, we have never had tea together. I recalled you calling me weird and Christianity stupid. If I did, I would recall. I love having chats and sitting down with people."
"But I remember having tea with you. :)"
Beeatrix looks back to Princess and snaps her fingers, "Either way. Think on my offer to hear my lovely Caborhunds sing and do not be a stranger. Should you require my aid. Call upon my name and summon me forth. Should your cause be noble. I will aid you."
Beeatrix asks the two, "Do you have any Questions for me before I leave. Perhaps the curse has robbed you of information upon being broken and I can provide a refresher based on my own memory."
"Who did you have tea with? :)"
"Craftsman, of course."
"No more questions. You may leave. :)"
"..."
"I need to have a talk with myself. Privately. :)"
Beeatrix adjusts her robes and starts to buzz off. She gives a final remark of, "Good luck with the other Bleeding orders~! And may god Bee with you!"
Then she is out of the booth with a leisurely hover and heads off on her own business with a lot of newfound thoughts and suspicions in her noggin.

"Where do you put 'we're both going to die' on a scale of 1 to 10? :)))))"
"I guess we both knew this was going to happen one day. I sure as blue hell did. But.....I didn't do anything about it. :)"
"Neither did I... How much time we have left? ;D"
"A day. Two at most........." Princess looks at the gun in her hand.
"If I shot myself now. That would solve it. My next clone wouldn't have you in there."
"But I can't kill you. :)"
"I'm a fucking idiot, aren't I? :))))"
"O-5 would say that, I think. ;D"
"...A day to life... Huh... ;D"
"...You know... We got a bit of money doing the whole shopkeeper thing, yes?"
"Want to whine and dine for a final time? ;D"

"Yeah....I would love that. :)"
"I pity the poor bastard our two minds are going to create. :)"
"Imagine gaining consciousness for the first time in your life and you're one of the leaders of the Union."

"Oh well. Not my problem anymore. :)"
"Hope whoever comes up gets my aesthetic tastes. ;D"
"Do we say goodbye to anyone? :)"
"For some of them, I doubt they would take what's going to happen as anything other than a mental breakdown. :)))"
"You know......."
"Why am I even asking? What am I going to do next? Make sure my paperwork is in order before we both mentally die?"
"Good fucking luck whatever occupies this body when we fuse. :))))"
"Let us go, then. The day is just starting, and I'm still hungry! Hohoho! ;D"
