[WARNING: This post can contain suggestive language. Of l'amour. Skip it if it bothers you.]

[The device is turned on by one of the birds pecking at it. Behind the bird, one can see Sophie, tending to a rosebush full of blue roses.

The bird chirps and starts talking,] There are other bushes to tend to, mademoiselle.

Mmhmm. [Sophie, clearly paying attention. The bird continues,] It can be an incentive to your lover, during the act of l'amour...

[Sophie plucks a few roses, watches them proudly and completely unaware she's being recorded, and repeats:] Mmmh- wait, pardon?

L'act de l'amouuuuuuur~ [Repeats the bird, helpfully.] A modern man will want a modern woman to take to his bed, and if mademoiselle considered-

No, no - stop! [She looks flushed, flustered and angry. And brandishing the roses like weapons.] Stop giving me advice about that.

But mademoiselle, do you not want to do like the mod-

I said be quiet! I'll spell you quiet, I swear! [She notices the blinking green light behind the bird.] Did you do that? Is this rec- re- re- [Oh god, oh drats and blast, everyone can see.]

Leave! Leave, shoo, or I'll turn you into a duster.

[The bird's feathers ruffle up, and it takes flight with a:] Le wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch.

[Sophie stomps angrily over to the device, grumbling all the way,] You're right I am, and feeling pretty mean towards birds right now, the nerve, I swear--

[And the connection ends. :)]

[ooc; Now she'll go hide somewhere and dieeeeee.]

Are you okay?

[ Because as funny as the bird curses are, Clary can't leave upset people. ] They've been doing that all over the City.

[Alas Howl is just going to be on the sofa in their living area dying of laughter. Your life is so hard, Sophie.]

I am - not going to talk about it.

[mrsnose]

No - hush! Silence! Quiet - shhh!

[steleheart]

That's okay.

[ A smile. ] The flowers are nice. I've never seen blue roses before.

[conesoldstober]

I'm so sorry, cariad- [no he isn't]

But you have to admit it's at least just a trifle amusing.

[mrsnose]

Your face will be a trifle amusing if you keep laughing at my expense!

[THE FLOWER. Safe, safe flowers.] Oh, thank you. I've been experimenting for a while, this is the first batch I've truly liked.

Winter roses, I think I'll call them that.

[steleheart]

How did you get them to be blue?

video;

[mrsnose]

I told them.

[steleheart]

[ Clary looks both surprised and curious all at once. ] And they listened?

[mrsnose]

I may have scolded them a bit, too.

[conesoldstober]

I am simply laughing at the absurdity of the situation, my dear. You need not take every situation this city throws at you to heart.

[mrsnose]

It doesn't mean I'm going to just let a silly bird tell me about - about - you know.

[conesoldstober]

We could attempt to catch it for our dinner if that would relieve some of the anger.

[steleheart]

[ A moment. ]

The bird called you a witch. He wasn't being mean, was he? You actually are a witch?

[mrsnose]

That's mean. [Nevermind she threatened to make the bird a feather duster.]

[mrsnose]

I suppose I must be.

[steleheart]

That's really cool though. Especially if you can make the flowers do what you want.

[ Jace would be suspicious of any Downworlder but Clary's not quite there yet, genuinely happy to talk to people. ]

[mrsnose]

The ability to spell life into things can work against you, sometimes. Especially if you talk without thinking.

[conesoldstober]

Mean or practical?

[mrsnose]

I hope it stays out.

[conesoldstober]

I'm positive it will cower before your broom-wielding skills.

[mrsnose]

Only if it's been listening to the tales from the spiders.

[onset]

[He's just glad we wasn't drinking anything.

... And his own device is totally recording right now, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Woops.]

Oh, bl-

[Awkward? Awkward. Now what.]

Sorry, I - didn't mean to watch this.
