One- Video

[There's a full vase of roses sitting next to Morticia, as though for decorating her room. She's pulling them out, one by one, and methodically clipping the flower from the stem, and then replacing them in the vase, casually rearranging them as she does so.]

It's dim, it's dreary, it's dismal- it's almost truly desolate.

[She snips off another flower.]

But it lacks a certain something. [Snip. A thoughtful look, and then an arched eyebrow.] Perhaps vultures. [Another pause.] No, something bigger. An execution. Just the way to spend an evening, waiting for the blade to fall. Something depressing for the whole family. The children would love it.

[And she sighs, a little dejected, and finishes off the last flower.]

[Darkly.]

If you're looking for someone to execute, I have the perfect candidate.

[No, Gamzee. Bad. You're supposed to be avoiding this kind of shit, remember?]

[weebitbipolar.livejournal.com]

Darling, why so glum? Your beautiful face is probably the best thing we've had the pleasure of seeing all day! [Oh, yes, Morticia, you're a gorgeous specimen of a woman, and they're not about to pass up the opportunity to compliment you!]

The children?

[Bad feeling about this? Check.]

[Hello, roomie. Lirael doesn't mind Morticia, for the most part. But talking about killing people is a little much. Unless, of course, they were evil people. Still, her text-- she's off again at the library-- is polite.]

I think I would rather have vultures.

[mortematris.livejournal.com]

That soon? If only we had a guillotine.

[PERMATEXT unless stated otherwise]

[mortematris.livejournal.com]

[Yes this.]

[She's pretty morbid for a girl this colorful.]

Can't we get one?

[Hey, Gamzee, excuse this interruption by a rather intrigued looking older human.]

Ha, marvelous! A family friendly, educational kind of outing. Tell me, young man, you wouldn't happen to know a Lavrentiy Addams, would you? You remind me a great deal of him in his youth ... ah, cousin Lavrentiy. [fondly] He had such a promising career in politics!

[rabiduspatris.livejournal.com]

It's been awhile since we've had a proper evening out. Tish, you know how it excites me to see you with a pair of blades in your hand. [Those are some hothot scissors.] I must see you tonight.

[Laurent is pretty sure gardening doesn't work that way, but he's not about to comment on that. or the execution stuff...for now.]

Miss, would you by any chance know a man called Gomez Addams? He's looking for his wife and the description he gave me fits you.

[permavideo yep

Stocking watches her as she drinks her tea, an eyebrow raised in interest.]

Vultures add that bit of unexpectedness though, don't you think?

Do your children like depressin' things? Because I can think of a few places in the world were I come from they would love!

Wednesday and Pugsley. [She sighs again, fondly.]

[mortematris.livejournal.com]

[Oh you. But she has a husband, poor Venom, you won't get anywhere with this one.]

Just worrying about the children. Whether or not they've taken their cyanide, if they've broken the ax already...the usual things.

[mortematris.livejournal.com]

Oh no. The best guillotines are hand-crafted.

[mortematris.livejournal.com]

[mortematris.livejournal.com]

[Probably for the best. Though it certainly won't stop her.]

Oui. My husband.

[mortematris.livejournal.com]

Mon sauvage. With the scissors?

[mortematris.livejournal.com]

The more dismal the better. Please, share.

[mortematris.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. And a reminder of mortality.

[rabiduspatris.livejournal.com]

Hm, you must have had a close relationship with your mother. I understand entirely ... [nostalgic look] And my name is Gomez Addams. It's my bewitching wife, Morticia, that you're conversing with about executions. I haven't been to a good one in years, I'm afraid. We just don't get out like we used to.
