4th song ; video

[madamemoiselle]

[After practicing her new-found leveled up power, Diva has refined parts of it so that it's not quite so revealing. And since many of her fellow housemates have been showing off their singing prowess, Diva, of course, has to show them up.

The camera is at a wide angle, so that there's a full view, and she curtsies deeply to the camera before straightening. And she begins to sing. Opera aficionados will recognize it immediately as "Un bel dì vedremo" from Madama Butterfly, but after a few moments, Freyr's gift adds to the performance. Though she was wearing European clothes a moment ago, the illusion her song creates makes it seem as if she's now wearing a kimono to go with the scene, and adds the orchestration that would otherwise be missing. She acts out the scene as well, and though the song is in Italian, the story of longing and love is very evident. Diva is quite talented, after all!

But after that final, long, powerful note, where her arms are spread wide, the illusion fades, and her hands drop slowly as she becomes "Diva" again, rather than Butterfly.]

That's singing. [She says it haughtily, but surprisingly, that's all she has to say in the "being rude"-department. So she just runs a hand through her hair, smiling brilliantly for the camera.]

Hey, but if you liked that, you should come see the full opera. I'll be performing Madama Butterfly, and it's even free!

[She smiles sweetly, even tilting her head as a "cute" gesture]

So you really don't have any reason to not come, right?

[Oh, did that have a slightly threatening tone in it? Oops, how did that get there...]

[There's only one way she can respond to this....]

People are recording cows dying now? How tasteless.

[madamemoiselle]

[yeah whatever euri, she knows she's awesome]

Oh, I didn't know you could see the future, Euri! I'm surprised, though. How did you know that I was planning on broadcasting your death?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Ah, you realize you're so terrible that you're trying to change the subject to save face. That's pretty pitiful.

[video]

[loveandevil]

Wow, your voice really is pretty, Diva...!

[The freak is back.]

When are you performing...?

[madamemoiselle]

[She giggles, putting her hand coquettishly in front of her mouth]

My, my, it sounds like you want me to come knocking on your door again. You know, a locked door won't be able to stop me anymore.

[madamemoiselle]

[Brightly,] Thank you! Singing is what I really love, so I'm glad that people enjoy it.

Ah, but I'll be performing in exactly a week, actually! 7 PM at Draupnir. [She nods] I'll only be performing once, though, so don't miss it!

[occulthymns]

Is that supposed to be a threat? Maybe I should call Cheriour.

( video )

[windwalker]

[ Applauds!! It doesn't help that she has big eyes that only show how entirely mystified she if by the performance and everything that was pretty about it. It was like being dazzled by a twipire except not from twilight and the sparkles aren't coming from Diva's skin. ]

That was really good! So... you say the full opera is free?

[madamemoiselle]

And is that supposed to be a threat? You can't do anything yourself, so you'll send him after me? Ah, but I wonder, is he really up to it? Watching him die, that was so sad...

[loveandevil]

I know you said you used to be able to manipulate your vocal chords, but you still sound amazing! [A nod of approval.]

I'll do my best to attend! I don't see anything coming up with my job, anyway. [A laugh.]

[occulthymns]

Oh, gross. You saw that? I feel really bad for him now. Who would want a disgusting parasitic cow watching something that private?

video; HAHAHAHA twipire

[madamemoiselle]

Thank you! [She curtsies in response to the applause, taking it very graciously, of course]

And yes, it is. There will only be once performance, though, since it is free. Ah, well that and I couldn't quite get all of the people I really needed, since it's not like there are other classically trained people here... But the faceless people do a good job!

[madamemoiselle]

[She chuckles darkly, like there's a joke that Euri's not getting]

Yes, I wonder.

[But her tone becomes light again]

But my darling little witch, when do I get to see you again? I had a dream the other night about when we met at the ball. It was really lovely, you know.

[madamemoiselle]

[Her smile stays gracious, but she's wondering again if telling him things like that had been a good idea. It was really just harmless information, nothing that she wouldn't tell to anyone else, but telling it to a doctor...

She'll just move away from the subject of herself] Oh, your job? Where is it that you work? Ah, that's a stupid question, I guess. It's the hospital, right?

[loveandevil]

It's a bar that's opening soon, actually!

[occulthymns]

How about never? Unlike you I've got better things to be doing than meet up with some piss poor excuse for a singer.

[madamemoiselle]

[She shrugs]

Why do you keep insulting my singing? It just shows that you're a bigger idiot than I thought. My singing is perfect, from the technique to the expression. [so arrogant...]

[madamemoiselle]

A bar...

[She frowns thoughtfully as she tries to remember, but brightens]

Oh, I remember now! Lux, right? I saw the applications or whatever that was for it. Why are you working there, though? Could you not find a job as a doctor?

[occulthymns]

[She scoffs.]

You'd be about on par with the goats back home. Offhand I can think of about eight relatives who are better than you, and another six who would blow you out of the water.

[She sounds pretty sincere, because that's the kind of thing that happens when your species is given an innate skill for singing by a mermaid old god of all people, and when your culture nurtures that ability.]

[loveandevil]

I'm doing medical work, but I didn't want to work in the hospital or anything.

[Just a shrug.]

[madamemoiselle]

Really? It's too bad there's no proof to that, then. As much as you like to lie and talk about things that you know nothing about, what reason do I have to believe you?

[She shrugs]

You're not going to make me feel bad about my singing. Just give up, alright? I'm getting bored.

video; show her kindness dear pseudo twipire for she is easily dazzled

[windwalker]

[ What in the world?! For some reason she took that curtsey as something polite, yet some of the words this girl is saying are... kind of rude. Whatever, performance from a pretty girl is free.

That is all that matters. ] Oh, then you will start charging after, huh. Will it be really expensive...?

I never really got to see any operas live since I couldn't exactly afford it back then.

[madamemoiselle]

[what...]

Ah... I don't really get it. Why would a bar need a doctor?

[occulthymns]

I guess that's all you really can say, huh?

Oh well, it's not like there's not much you can do about it. Since you were probably trained by humans and since you're an ugly monster you can't really hope to become anything better than 'dying cow'.

[loveandevil]

Medical emergencies can happen anywhere!

[Pause.]

Barfights are also a concern.
