002 | video/action if you feel like it

[duchessofdevonshire]

[Now that the shock had worn off a little, and the water had gone down, Georgiana is determined to do something fun, or at least attempt to. If she was to prosper, she needed to explore at the very least, so that is what she was going to do. That and she really needed to get her mind off home, and her children especially Eliza. All very good reasons to go out and enjoy the day, so she was wondering around outside, not really going anywhere, because she didn't know where to go but... looking anyway.

The video cuts to her done up as well as she can do by herself, bodice, skirts, hair wild and curling everywhere under her large brimmed hat with more feathers than was useful to basically anything, but she's classy, because that just came with breeding. Though if you asked her, she's hardly dressed up at all. Addressing a network doesn't bother her so much after addressing huge crowds either, even if she doesn't understand exactly how it works. This whole not having to face her husband-who-slept-with-her-best-friend-and-then-it-got-worse every day thing was having a remarkable effect on her, especially after talking to others and realising the opportunity she was being afforded. So she's practicality sing-songy when she speaks into her bracelet, smile on her lips.]

Tell me, what do people do here for fun? Are there plays and theatre to see? Opera? Or another place one can hear music? Somewhere one could play a few rounds of cards, even? [she rather likes gambling, says her couple of thousand in debt, shhh...] Does anyone throw parties? I'm sure someone must, though I am not really sure how society works here. Do people still dance? [because that really would be her favourite thing, parties, dancing, music. At home it's lost it's lustre a little, but here? The whole thing glittered with prospect.]

At the very least, who does a lady have to flirt with to find a decent cup of tea? [because it really had been fun being able to flirt, and not having to worry about what society and the rest says] Or to get a glass of champagne? Company would be nice too, should anyone feel like enjoying mine and you have the time free. [yep, husband? What husband? Georgiana Cavendish has more freedom than she has had since she was married at seventeen, and by God if she wasn't going to enjoy it.]

[ooc// if action, find her wherever you like, she could of wandered near or far from Freya district.]

[Ping'd by both music and tea! Two of her favourite things.]

There's the Draupnir theatre if you're looking for music! Or if you want something you can take to your room there are lots of stores that sell things called CDs, which are these shiny discs that you put into a CD player and it plays the music that's on the CD for you! [All said in a 'this technology is very fascinating and ~magical~' tone, since she still isn't used to it.]

- Oh, and the best place to get tea is at the Hrafn Tea House.~

[video]

[duchessofdevonshire]

[Well she's glad, even if it doesn't quite make sense.]

You can take music into your room? What are 'CDs'? They sound lovely though, much better then trying to get instruments into a small room. [She fiddles with a curl as she contemplates.]

Oh, is it? Thank-you, I shall definitely have to make my way there then, thank-you.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

They're about the size of your hand, and they have lots of music recorded on them! And you can get small CD players so space isn't a problem.~ [She's never going to get over the wonder that is recorded music.]

You're welcome! If you're looking for live music too the Lux has that. It's a bar.

[video]

[duchessofdevonshire]

Oh, that does sound very good, doesn't it? [She can already tell she's not going to understand the how of it working, so not going to bother to ask.]

A bar? Like... gentlemen have? Or workmen go? [Ergo, all places society said she was never to set foot in.]

video; i can't get enough apparently

[writeswrongs]

[Castle smiled at her as the feed clicked on. He'd be happy to do most of that stuff with her.]

How are you settling in? By the way, if you flirt with me, I'd be happy to get you a decent cup of tea.

video; it's a very castle type of post~

[duchessofdevonshire]

[Oh good, because it's so much more fun going to do those things with someone else. ]

Oh fine, a little tricky, but I'll make do. [and if it's flirting he wants, flirting he shall have.] Which begs the question, my lord, of what exactly I'd have to do for champagne? [Coy smile for him~]

video;

[writeswrongs]

[Have a coy smile back.]

You'll just have to find out, won't you, my lady?

[Flirting was fun. Castle was the king of flirting, even if Beckett was here in Asgard with him. He still hadn't had the nerve to tell her how he really felt about her.]

video; also can't get enough apparently...

[madamemoiselle]

[Oh, you said the magic words. The more Diva hears about you, the more she likes you, Georgiana.]

Oh, opera can be hard to find, since I'm the only one that can sing it here, but I did put on an opera a while ago... Maybe I should do another after all. Hey, but what's your favorite opera? I could probably sing an aria for you, at least!

video; <3 She's feeling very loved.

[duchessofdevonshire]

[Let them have all the pretty things!]

Well that is a terrible shame, everyone should appreciate those things, even here. They have the public opera's in England. [At the thought of it though, she lights up completely.] Oh, if you did, I shall be the first to attend, I am sure your voice is divine.

... And a favourite? Oh you may as well ask me to count all the stars in the sky. Hm, but I am very fond of the works by Handel. He writes such brilliant music.

[madamemoiselle]

I'd like to! But it's a lot of work to do one, especially when the Faceless people don't really know much of anything about a proper opera. I had to teach them almost everything for the first... Ah, but some people did offer to help, so I guess it would be easier the second time.

[She looks briefly thoughtful, but then shrugs it away] Oh, Handel is really good! He's an older composer, to me, but maybe doing something less modern would be more fun... The first one I did was Madame Butterfly by Puccini, but I was also performing it kind of as a gift to someone. So this one would be more for fun!

[valianced]

[ She's just happened to catch this on the network and she can't help but be amazed by the woman's elaborate clothing and decadent styles. Even in Narnia, they didn't see things like this. She only imagined these kinds of women in silly novels. ]

Well, I do have some tea if you'd like it, but I promise you don't have to do that flirting bit or some such, I don't mind just sharing, if that is fair?

[ Count on Lu to miss the point. ] I rather prefer my tea as well. I'm not sure I'd be a good English girl if I didn't. [ A giggle. What? Hello, she will be friends with anyone ever. ]</small

(video)

[duchessofdevonshire]

[No silly novels, just every day wear for Gee. But eee! A little the same age as her daughters! Instant affection.]

Well, that sounds perfectly lovely. Should I get biscuits, so it's even then? [Whenever she finds somewhere there are biscuits.]

Oh you're English too? Yes it is becoming very English, isn't it? [Guess whose lover Earl Grey tea is named after. Pfft. Unsurprisingly, it's Grey she thinks of.] I'm Georgiana, what's your name, darling? [Not very hard to make friends with Gee, she lives to be social.]

(video)

[valianced]

Oh, biscuits would be lovely, though I wouldn't even know where to start in order to find some.

[ she laughs brightly and at the introduction, she perks up ] Well it is a pleasure, Miss Georgiana. I am Lucy, Lucy Pevensie. How long have you been here in Asgard?

[Video]

[tipsygnostalgia]

[Have a bubbly looking teenage girl smiling at the feed]

No champagne, sorry! I have rum though if you've ever tried that and want a glass!

Also... really I just sorta waste time hanging round making friends, or helping people out.

[Video]

[duchessofdevonshire]

[Hello again.]

Oh, like sailors and pirates drink? [Well she'd never have it at home but...] I should love to try some, sometime.

... That sounds like a perfectly decent occupation to me. [Basically what she does in England, pfft. You know when she's not be ~scandalous~]

[Video]

[tipsygnostalgia]

Er.. yup! I think we're in the same house, so I can let you try it sometime I guess?

It's not like we have much else to do here anyway.

[Rox stares for amoment before she has to ask]

So, uh.. what year was it, before you turned up here? Or decade? Century...?

voice.

[bloodyperky]

I hope someone has already directed you towards the theater. It's probably the place to look for the things you've listed.

video

[duchessofdevonshire]

Oh no, not yet. Could you tell me where it is, please? [smile for him.]

voice 5ever.

[bloodyperky]

I could. [ though you can't see it, he's thoughtfully considering this. ] It's located in the Freyr district-- ah, the dark blue one. Between Heimdall and Freya. The manager is a brilliant pianist.

video.

[requisite]

[ raising his hand cheekily! ] For all your flirting needs, m'lady! [ though pfffft talking all formally isn't his style. he drops the act with a grin. ] Though I'm kinda surprised nobody has invited you out already.

video.

[duchessofdevonshire]

[Grin for that, she doesn't mind cheeky at all.] All of them? Well. [She pressed her fingers to her lips as she giggled.] Oh? But I hardly no anyone to invite me anywhere as of right now, I'm not so long here, you see?

video.

[requisite]

Well, I'll have to say your beauty is an introduction of itself~ [ awww man he loves it when people play along. ] Preeetty sure the guys are gonna be flocking in any moment now, so I'd better take my place in line.

[unionjackass]

I-- Should hardly think a decent lady would need to resort to that sort of thing to partake in a fresh cup of good tea.

[England is admiring that hat. The feathers are a little excessive but, anyone who has good taste in hats has at least a small bit of approval.]

video;

[duchessofdevonshire]

Yes, it was a little forward of me, I suppose. [The freedom of had gotten to her head. No doubt she would settle in awhile.]

Shall I take it as a sign you enjoy tea as well?

video;

[unionjackass]

And I suppose it's better than being backward or sideways instead. [no england stop--] Enjoy it? Of course! Why I've been in the trade for years.
