002 - [ video ]

[byherscore]

[ An underwear thief? How quaint. It's a shame she's far more used to going without then wearing any to begin with. She doesn't even notice its lack.

However, what might be just a little... strange is that there's a Diva showing on the flickering video screen, naked and curled around a cocoon. Two, in fact. Her precious babies. Crooning, she barely spares a glance to the video screen before she tapers off into a hum. ]

See what Karl's given me? [ she still hasn't gotten over it, the little gift that showed up on her doorstep one day, almost a week ago now. ] Don't even think of taking them back. [ her eyes glint a light blue, a warning to any deity hanging around. Or anyone else for that matter. Laughing, softly, she relaxes again and croons and caresses and hoards. ]

((ooc: open action to any housemates! And officially back from vacation now /o/ ))

Me?

...I like things they way they are. I'd miss Karl. But, well, if that's how it goes, I'd move on.

[Make him beg forever, Diva.]

[byherscore]

[ always; it's one of the few things she enjoys ] You'd just... give him up?

[ her eyes are wide, uncomprehending. To give up is just... unacceptable. Then again, she did understand boredom. ]

voice;

[beyourarmy]

Well, what could I do? Could I force him to stay interested in me? I don't think it works like that. I don't like it, at least.

Sometimes...sometimes you just have to put the other person before yourself and your own wants. I think that would be one of those situations.

voice;

[byherscore]

[ ... that makes even less sense then anything else he's said. To just... give up? Put them before you?

Impossible. But words she may yet still dwell on ] Then take him, make him yours.

Ah... but I can't let that happen. Perhaps it is for the best. [ and then she hummed, a few soft bars that every chevalier could here no matter where they were. Diva was singing, calling. It was a reminder. ]

voice;

[beyourarmy]

Mmm, no. That's okay. I think he's yours.

And it's better that way. [Setsuna looks at Diva, slightly wide-eyed.]

That.... Karl taught me that song. When I was stuck as a bird at the circus.

voice;

[byherscore]

[ she tilts her head, her mind immediately occupied by this new tidbit, this new development ]

You were a bird?

[ and then she shivered, mind blanking as she remembered another cage, another trapped bird singing to the only blue sky she could see. She hated that place. ]

voice; I think I just messed up my time continuity, lol whoops

[beyourarmy]

Yeah... The Circus turned me into one, then trapped me in a cage.

[He can't see what he can't hear right now, but he'd be more concerned if he could.]

voice; whoops, we're both just all over the place

[byherscore]

[ a crash is heard, a vase full of flowers crashing to the floor as she jerked back to awareness, Setsuna's voice a life line and a trigger. ]

And you escaped?

[ he must have ]

Did you kill them? [ she would have and done more. She burned them to a crisp ]

voice; I think I got this thread mixed up with the time of the other, since it took place after XD

[beyourarmy]

[He hears the crash, at least.]

Hey, you okay over there?

...my friend came to help me. Karl left me there. [Is that bitterness in his voice? Yeah. Yeah, it is.] But yeah, eventually I escaped.

I wanted to. But the Circus was gone before I could really do anything, once I was normal again. I hate being trapped.

voice;

[byherscore]

[ she's fine and her cruelty is back with a vengeance ]

He left you? [ tsk, tsk ] How cruel. Do you want him punished? [ she'll oblige. She'll lock him up in his own tower, bereft of air, bereft of comfort, bereft of anything and everything she desired.

Nathan will see to that. If she asked. ]

voice;

[beyourarmy]

No. No.... I'll handle it.

[He'll try, himself and fail, though he doesn't know it, yet.]

voice;

[byherscore]

[ she sighs, so boring ]

Very well. But don't think I'll offer again. [ indeed not. She'll just do it without his say so. She may still do it as it is. ]

voice;

[beyourarmy]

Thanks, though, Diva. [He can't help it, finding himself liking her, even if she did punish Karl. This time, he kind of deserves it.]

I'll talk to you again another time.

voice;

[byherscore]

[ she doesn't answer though, having already dropped the phone to pick up some other new favored thing. There were always new trinkets lying around. So many things to keep her occupied.

But have no fear, the conversation is not about to leave her so quickly. ]
