9th Contract - [video]

[For the first time in many weeks, Howl appears on the network entirely himself. He's lounged in his sitting room, the usual mess and stacks of paper around him contrasting with his immaculately coiffed hair and designer suit. The only thing that looks off is the fact that the bright turquoise of his trousers are rolled up at the ankles, revealing

some seriously amazingly glittery high heels.]

Forgive me for not getting up. It's been some years since I've ever walked in shoes like these.

If I was going to be forced into this curse, they could have a least chosen a pair with a little more class. It completely over-powers my look today.

[He gives a cheeky grin into his papers before the camera shuts off.]

...You wear heels on normal days?

[conesoldstober]

Not since my University days, and only then on a bet.

[mortemscintilla]

Didn't you trip and fall?

[ How can anyone wear those things? ]

[conesoldstober]

Oh, I'm very good.

[mortemscintilla]

Practice? Or natural balance?

[ ...He'll be creeped out either way... ]

[conesoldstober]

I'd say its more towards the line of natural talent, yes. I've always been sure on my feet.

[mortemscintilla]

...Good for you?

[ U N C E R T A I N ]

[conesoldstober]

Thank you.

You seem rather put off by the whole thing, if I may say so.

[mortemscintilla]

[ An awkward smile. ]

I'm just really clumsy. I'd cause twice as much damage if I was in heels.

[conesoldstober]

The trick is to loosen your hips.

[mortemscintilla]

[ asdfghjklzxcvv !!! ]

...But I'm not a bellydancer...!

[Peter's in the basement. As usual.]

Why am I having flashbacks to "the more you know"?

the things you make me google to find out what year they're from

[conesoldstober]

Is this something I want to ask about?

B)

[minigolfandsushi]

It's not worth it. Suffice it to say, those are hideous.

[conesoldstober]

It's not as if I chose them.

[minigolfandsushi]

Tell me the truth. If you had a choice...would you have picked them?

[conesoldstober]

I don't object to the glitter. Although the shooting stars are a bit of a sick joke.

[minigolfandsushi]

You don't like stars?

[conesoldstober]

Not as much as I once did.
