part 349 heart shaped chocolates

[aphanon_meme]

Hi meme! Happy Valentine's day! I hope you have a sweet one. (Get it? Sweet? Because... chocolates and candies. Yeahhh.) Sadly, I don't think a candle in the window for Himaruya has led him home--yet. It's all very romantically tragic. Or tragically romantic. I don't know.

Enjoy part 349!

/had to too

[bellabelgium]

Ah, that one is kind of a Cinderella-esque rags to riches story. It's about a girl who had nothing but her spindle and needle and managed to marry a prince.

Re: /had to too

[kingkongeriget]

[ohhhhh]


[wonder how that one slipped past his radar, he thought he knew most of these]


So what's yer favorite?

[bellabelgium]

Well, I like the Brother's Grimm because their tales always seem to have lessons. But my all time favorite is Beauty and the Beast.

[kingkongeriget]

Love conquers all, huh?


[that's a message! kind of!]


[though he's never thought about it like that before]

[bellabelgium]

[ Laughs a little. ]

Yeah, I truly believe it does. Love is much more powerful than hate.

[ Takes the book from his hands. ]

Wanna find a spot to read with me? Or maybe we can read to each other.

[ Notices he's got some folklore books as well. They can find a corner, hide under a table, claim a couch, whatever looks good. ]

[kingkongeriget]

Sure! Dunno how much fun mine're gonna be-


[hoists one of his books, a book on monsters of German folklore]




-can always go back fer more, tho'!


[he's always down for good comfort and good company!]

Dying with that thread with Sweden!!

[bellabelgium]

[ Laughs softly, looking at the book. ]

It's alright. I don't mind hearing more about monsters. Come...

[ Takes his hand and starts looking for a place to hang out. There's a well lit nook over there in the corner, hopefully it's not claimed. ]

/just saw the new tag, IT JUST GETS BETTER

[kingkongeriget]

[follows on over to make with the serious reading]

loling

[bellabelgium]

[ Or make with the not so serious reading... or make out. You know, whatevs. ]

Over here.

[ Smiles and takes him beyond Julchen's book fort to a well light corner and sits down on the floor, making herself comfortable. ]

Re: loling

[kingkongeriget]

[hey, he's pretty amenable when it comes to plans]


[lays down on his stomach and opens up his book to the index, checking out the "W" section]


[wendigo, wili...]

[bellabelgium]

[ lol So cute. ♥♥~ Smiles at him. ]

Did you wanna go first? You can read about a monster to me and I'll read you a story. We can alternate.

[kingkongeriget]

[whoops, he got a little excited to check out the book, there]


Sounds like a plan t'me!


How 'bout...


[flicks to a different page in the index to see what looks good]


..."Lady Midday"! That oughta be nice!

[bellabelgium]

Lady Midday?

[ Sets her book on her lap and looks at him curiously. ]

I haven't heard of her.

[kingkongeriget]

Me neither! Let's get us acquainted, yeah?


[flips to her page]


Also known as Pscipolnitsa, etc., etc., throughout central an' Eastern Europe! Looks like a lady in white, carryin' a scythe! Said t'be th'personification'a...


...heatstroke.


[oh]


[that's]


[not as pleasant as he hoped]


Huh!

[bellabelgium]

Heatstroke? Is there a picture?

[kingkongeriget]

[turns the book towards her]


[a few illustrations, actually! some woodcuts, showing an old woman, young woman, little girl, and a dust cloud]


An' she cuts off folks heads if they can't answer her questions!


[...maybe they should have stuck to something cheerful, like Grimm?]

[bellabelgium]

She asks questions? Like riddles or what?

[kingkongeriget]

Dunno!


[checks the next page]


It don't say! Jus' that she goes 'round talkin' t'folks in fields at noon, an' if ya can't answer her question--


[makes a little slicing gesture, complete with sound effects]

[bellabelgium]

Ech, that's not a nice thing to think about on a warm day.

bedtime for now!

[kingkongeriget]

...maybe she's a metaphor?

Sweet dreams!

[bellabelgium]

A metaphor for staying hydrated and avoiding heatstroke.

Re: Sweet dreams!

[kingkongeriget]

Heavy-handed, then!


[no, Denmark, that's about as literal as it gets]


How 'bout a fairy tale?

[bellabelgium]

Ah yes. How about a fairy tale.

[ Picks the book up and opens it up, flipping through some of the pages. ]

Let's see... How about "The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids"?

[kingkongeriget]

[ooh, he thinks he knows this one! it has a happy ending, right?]


Sounds good t'me!

[bellabelgium]

[ Smiles and gets comfortable, clearing her throat before starting to read about a mother goat and her seven little kids, voices and all.

The story goes on about a mother heading out for food warning her kids of the wolf with a rough voice and dark paws who would eat them if they let him in. Soon after the mother goat leaves the wolf comes a'knockin' and tries several different tricks to come in. Eventually he tricks the kicks and he eats six of the seven whole! When the mother returns she and the last little kid go out and find him sleeping in a meadow. They cut his stomach open and out pops the little ones. She sews him back up before he wakes but not before filling his stomach with stones. When he wakes he's curious about the rumble with his stomach and goes to get a drink from the well only for the weight of the stones to make him fall in and drown to his death. The mother and her kids live happily ever after. ]
