5 ☽ VIDEO/ACTION

[berthierite]

[ As the weather has gotten cooler, the days shorter, Berthier has grown more comfortable in this city. During the day, however, with the sun overhead, she can still be found most often with her parasol up to shade her fair skin. She's on the main square today, moving at a sedate pace along the shop-fronts, looking into the window displays. Perhaps it's just a little idle shopping, her expression does not give away anything nefarious as she considers each establishment in kind.

She's taken out her device with the clear intent to say something, however, she's cut off short when a strong gust of autumnal air catches at her light skirts and well...]



[The parasol is dropped, and is taken out into the street by the wind, but she doesn't care much, is hurriedly trying to flatten down her skirts, looking (as one might imagine) very flustered. Her device is on the sidewalk at her feet now, and she stares down at it with a faint flush, mouth opening to say something, but her usual snide manners can't quite compensate for such a scene. Eventually she determines,]

Better today than yesterday.

[It's a poor consolation, and with her hands still fisted in her skirts to keep them flat, she turns off her device by giving it a nice swift stomp with her high-heeled boot.]


[[ooc; It's canon. I couldn't resist. Action more than invited o7]]

Comments

action; of course

[indecent_butterfly]

[At least someone enjoyed the show, even if the performance was rather short. Ne retrieves the parasol from where it ended it's journey and offers it back with a smile.]

One would suggest different attire, but this does suit you well.

action; oh bel

[berthierite]

[Still looking rather cross and incredibly prissy, Berthier turns towards the Hatter with a sniff,]

...of course it's you.

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

[Now, now don't take it out on the one being nice and helping you dear girl.]

Said as if your display was One's fault.

action;

[berthierite]

Only that I'm not surprised to find you on the scene so quickly.

[She thinks you are just a tad gawdy, ma'am.]

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

[Says the one showing off her goods on the street corner. Of course, who is ne to judge?]

It is most certainly not One's fault if you can not keep your clothing under control where One happens to be walking.

action;

[berthierite]

[...They are some mighty fine goods, okay.]

Certainly not, only where one chooses to look.

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

[Seen one seen...well ne's seen a lot.]

You were standing in One's way.

[And really why should ne have looked away?]

action;

[berthierite]

You are most certainly free to move around.

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

And yet the view is quite lovely from here.

action;

[beyourarmy]

[Just, you know, nearby, jawdropped, and definitely staring. Hard swallow.

I don't know. I might've looked away, but I wouldn't have minded it yesterday.

action;

[berthierite]

[She huffs slightly.]

I wouldn't expect any better.

[From a human.]

action;

[beyourarmy]

That's okay. I wouldn't expect any better from me, right now, either. [Still blushing.]

action;

[berthierite]

[Huff!]

Well, at least you acknowledge it.

action;

[beyourarmy]

What would be the point in denying it?

action;

[berthierite]

A semblance of decorum.

action;

[beyourarmy]

Nah. Not worth keeping up with it.

action;

[berthierite]

Clearly, you slovenly creature.

[mortemscintilla]

[ Guess who blushed fifty shades of red? ]

...Maybe you should switch to pants?

[berthierite]

[Eyes narrow.]

I will dress however I choose.

[mortemscintilla]

I can...

See that.

[ ...blue... undies... ]

[berthierite]

[Blue undies and red thigh-highs.]

And I certainly have better than you.

[mortemscintilla]

[ Now all we need are stripes and stars. ]

I'm not contesting that, Miss Birdie.

I just wear whatever I get my hands on.

[berthierite]

You could stand to do a bit better.

[mortemscintilla]

Does it matter?

[ 'Li's purpose is to appear a harmless slob. ]

[berthierite]

Yes. If you dress yourself like a slob, you will be treated as such.
