part 353 whalers on the moon

[aphanon_meme]

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

Re: RP scenario

[fraustria]

Don't announce it so rudely.

[but ohhh, you people are finally catering to her tastes! Exciting!!


...sits quietly with a cup of tea and just admires the piano]

i shall be painfully slow

[femany]

[Hovering around all hesitantly by the doorway as discretely as a mountain. Staring at you so hard, trying either to read your mind or at least gauge your mood, or at least to be noticed and invited in.]

never a problem

[fraustria]

[Current mood: piano

piano to look at and pretty decor and soft chairs and tea

so all in all, it is a good day. You may be the elephant in the room, but she is absorbed, excuse her.

...

Glances around and takes in the sight of you, then looks back at the instrument.

...

A full minute later, looks around again in surprise]

Oh, good afternoon, my dear.

a little problem

[femany]

[Wow, excuse her, she slightly feels like she's just interrupted something masturbatory in its nature.

Oh!! You looked at her--wait never mind, it's like you're seeing right through her to the soft detailing on the wall behind her.

Jesus christ, Where have they been keeping you that you are so absorbed in this room? She's just gonna pointedly clear her throat--ah, there we are.]

Good afternoon... [Okay your mood seems great, just gonna enter more into your line of vision before you become entranced and lost to the joys of interior decorating again]

...I hope I am not intruding? [Please say no because she's holding a small gift bag and it took all her courage to come track you down today]

a giant amazonian problem

[fraustria]

[WELL, excuse her, she's become used to more outdoorsy and unpalatable set-pieces being provided here, in between all the lechery and lewdness. She never gets these nice little rooms to herself!]

Not at all. Are you joining me for tea?

[Of course you are. Peering right at you to make sure that you are, as is her usual method, and pouring a cup already. And what is that interesting parcel you are carrying, hmm]

wow rude

[femany]

[A shame the decor is white and she has to share it with all sorts of anons]

I am, if you'll have me. [Peering right back, excuse her, she knows turning down teatime is a crime, she's got that already. Just gonna amble in awkwardly, she's wearing one of those feminine outfits you've gifted her a while back, a pretty fluffy collared blouse, but she's paired it with highwaisted pants instead of a skirt because she refuses to wear one with eyes.gif scuttling about. Ass kissing is in full swing.

She's a little stiff in this room, everything looks expensive and ornamental and she doesn't want to trip over herself and break anyything so she literally shuffles over carefully, gift bag extended like it's a bomb and not a present.]

I've brought you a gift...Chocolates, to make amends for our misunderstanding the other day. [Expensive chocolates. And other MONTH more like it and it wasn't really a misunderstanding but ssh details. She can apologize but she is more fretful with you because she doesn't know how to please your impossibly high standards AND NOW THAT SHE THinks of it chocolates and tea kinda taste clash don't they. SHE SHOULD'VE BROUGHT CAKE]

..But, I'm afraid it doesn't go well with tea...

it is a thing to be proud of hush

[fraustria]

Of course. [Eeeeeeyeeeeeiiing you as you shuffle in, dressed in a rather pretty and flattering manner, moreso for the adjustments than if you'd worn exactly what she gave you. Hmm. Perhaps there is hope for you yet]

Oh? How thoughtful of you!

[Eyebrows raised. Hmmmmmmmmm. What prompted this. But she graciously accepts the gift, letting that 'misunderstanding' copout go and peering into the bag- hello, fancy packaging...]

My- thank you very much, Monika, I do appreciate it. Now, now, don't concern yourself with that.

['Doesn't go'??? SHE BEGS TO DIFFER. Okay, so it doesn't go but she likes tea, she loves chocolate, this is all acceptable. Immediately opening up the package to admire and then taste them, hoho]

Mm...oh, but excuse me. How are you?

You HUSH I AM BEING SO SLOW ITI S UNFORGIVABLE

[femany]

Not at all. I've heard you've been lacking company lately, so perhaps we could spend the evening together as well? [Asking you to dinner first, now that's a rarity. Just gonna stand there tall and pretty and casting shadows over you while you look at her gift that is totally not prompted by a disastrous meeting with your male self to whom she asked very invasive questions about his sexual hygiene.]

Are you certain? Really, Lieselotte, I think it will--[about to tell you it'll probably taste gross paired with tea BUT THERE YOU GO EATING IT ANYWAY and okay, you are an adult and you can make your own disastrous taste combination decisions. She is going to just shuffle over and take a seat by you, and count her luck she's avoided obnoxious cheek kisses this time.]

Well...I am very glad you like it. I'll consider the hour more carefully next time and bring you something more suitable for tea. [ahem, gonna sit up all straight and stiff at that question. God this rooms bring back memories of suffocating childhood homes. She finds rooms like this unbearable, so much unnecessary clutter. It must be a disaster to clean.]

I...I am doing well...and how are you? We missed you during the camping trip. [they did not really because you are needy but she is being polite]

/backtags finally

[fraustria]

[SHE KNEW IT. But silence falls at that 'gallant and mature' and 'lacking flaws'.

U-Uh.

...

Moving on...wait, is that a smile? It distracts and almost infects her, her mouth twitching in response before she shakes her head, DELIBERATELY EATING A CHOCOLATE, thanks]

Don't blame me, you have always been this way. And I thought you said you would take me out? Still, I suppose it is better than going out without being dressed for it. Anyway, my appetite will not be spoiled. [Refills her tea- oh, you asked a question and she inelegantly dodged it, didn't she]

...The difference is not so simple as his lacking her flaws... [Because not only does he not lack most of them, he has bIG GLARING NEW ONES which you don't need to know about, but might disappoint you if you meet him] But it is a very personal thing. The...appeal. I cannot precisely communicate it. I suppose he is gallant...on occasion.

the first meme page stretch in ages

[femany]

Well, between my sisters and you, perhaps I had no other choice. ["""Born to rule""", after all. God knows how many times everyone has pounded that into her head, forcing her to be...or rather even creepily feel sometimes, mature beyond her years.]

I changed my mind out of concern for my personal economy. If Julia has been running around with my credit card, who is to say her counterpart is not doing the same? What is his name, by the way? [Hopefully something not as disastrous as Roderich, holy shit.]

...I see. If it is too personal to explain, I won't pry. [For once. Because you're making it sound like he does lacks Julchen's flaws and she has a very confused mental image. A perfect, polished, respectful and serious veteran just with an awful voice and a booming, raucous laugh? Handsome, tall...Wait, Did you take another chocolate--DISAPPROVING TONGUE CLICKING NOISE.]

Oh! Honestly! It will spoil your appetite if you keep indulging without limit! That is enough, Lieselotte! Think of your calorie intake and your glucose levels! Your health is fragile lately, please be more considerate of it! You've finished half the box already! This is exactly why you struggle to wake in the morning! Overloading your body with sugar puts a strain upon your pancreas, which makes you unable to properly manage your blood sugar levels! [she cAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. She feels like she is POISONING YOU. DELIBERATELY Taking away that box now and packing it away back into that giftbox, thanks. she is NEVER BUYING YOU SOMETHING LIKE THIS AS A GIFT AGAIN.]

I will return this to you after dinner!

sparkles proudly

[fraustria]

[It's because they were all grown up by the time she popped up and pushed those expectations on her, unlike their own power-mad childhoods.]

Tsk. Well, you are correct to be concerned- not that he uses yours! In fact, I believe he helps himself to Roderich's more often than not, which I shall have to stop one of these days... [But she likes presents, so maybe not. WHAT'S WRONG WITH RODERICH. Eyes you at that surprisingly respectful statement, wondering what to tell you, because she can't very well let you go on with some misguided idea about him...but but but their relationship is Complex and the things she likes are mushy and personal] Gilbert...and, well; the sum of it is, he shows me the very best of himself. [As opposed to what he shows...everyone else. UH. W-Well, you'll find out in time, she'll just have another- HEY]

For goodness' sake- Monika, don't be absurd! I am perfectly well! Stop- oh, really-

[HELPLESS IN THE WAKE OF YOUR RANTING. She doesn't even know what half this medical jargon means, YOU ARE TOO MUCH. Pouting as you take it away, letting you go on and on and ON. SPOILSPORT.]

Now you are exactly like him! I fear we have all ruined you. [Will it win him points if he bitches about her sugar intake too]

STANDING OVATION

[femany]

I was more concern he was using my counterpart's money. One of these days...You are aware what Roderich spends is also what you spend? [You are basically spending your own money, sorta...She's not sure how alternate universes affect their economy. she will have Hessen look into it. She's being politely respectful of it because she has a feeling it is one of those Before Her Times thing she won't understand that will have a very confusing event Gap because talking about certain things seems taboo.]

I am glad to hear that he does and that he is conscientious of your well being! If several people tell you the same thing, perhaps there is a grain of truth within their words! [And don't you throw that in her face.]

I'll gladly be the one ruined if only to spare your appetite. Besides, the weather outside is beautiful today and the meme has a garden, it would be a good idea to take a walk. [roping you into light exercise, she has had enough of this room]

ty, ty

[fraustria]

I cannot tell you anything about that. And Roderich's personal finances have no bearing on mine, how silly. [A few fancy dinners and gifts out of Roderich's purse isn't going to ruin anyone, hush. A gap in place of the story of how they got together through hurried and ill thought out sex? Absolutely]

Tsk, I see you are all eager to join forces against me and won't be swayed. Very well, I will refrain from eating any more of them today. [she'll just have DESSERT and SUGARY DRINKS. Unless you withhold them like the demon you are] Oh, fine. I suppose it is time to be going- I would not want to wait long for dinner, I am growing slightly hungry...

[Sigh sigh. Getting to her feet and straightening out her dress, tsking because her shoes aren't made for walking and you like to practically jog everywhere. What fun this will be]

[plops on the couch with her feet up]

Helllllooooo Austria!

Do you think they got any iced mocha vanilla frapps?

Re: RP scenario

[fraustria]

[twitches into stern matriarch mode]

Feet off the furniture!

[...and back]

Hello. Are you referring to coffee...?

Re: RP scenario

[(Anonymous)]

Why? It's not yours or mine!

... Uh duh! You know, frapps! Frappuchinos. Gosh.

Re: RP scenario

[fraustria]

It is disrespectful to whomever it belongs to. Now take them off. Off!

[flaps hands at! She doesn't like your tone!]

Oh, those. As this is not an American chain cafe, I very much doubt it. Would you care for tea?

Re: RP scenario

[(Anonymous)]

Tccccch! You're not my mom!

[keeps them up for stubbornness now]

Tea... sure. Well, can you put a lot of sugar in it? And lime flavoring? And ice? Well, maybe just get a Sprite instead.

Re: RP scenario

[fraustria]

I am sure your mother would disapprove just as much as I- take them off at once! [TAPS YOUR KNEES WITH A BATON.] And you may have sugar and lemon, I cannot provide anything else. Really, young people take their drinks so strangely modified.

Re: RP scenario

[(Anonymous)]

Will you play us something after tea, Miss Austria?

[Please let it not be Schönberg this time.]

Re: RP scenario

[fraustria]

[What do you mean this time, she has never played Schönberg publicly]

Certainly- although...I should like to have the permission of the owner, before doing so.

Re: RP scenario

[(Anonymous)]

[We all know you're one of those music hipsters who pretend to like atonality just to look cool and modern shush.]

Well there is a piano and it's there to be played, right? Besides, I'm sure they wouldn't mind, as long as you're playing it well!

Re: RP scenario

[fraustria]

[UH, FOR A HOT SECOND WHEN IT WAS COOL. THAT IS SO LAST SEASON]

I would not presume as much. After all, I would not allow my instrument to be played without my leave.

Re: RP scenario

[(Anonymous)]

Really? Even if it was Paganini coming back to life and needing to get his fingers back on a violin?

[Gotta learn to share princess Austria ~!]

Re: RP scenario

[fraustria]

Well, my violins are different. I am referring, of course, to my piano. In such an emergency as that, I am sure a violin could be spared for the greater good. Though it would still be more mannerly to ask first.

[Would you share your child???]
