[affranchise]

-Ah. There it is again.

[It's late, and the video cuts on to a young woman with a thick French accent. Her eyes flicker around the screen as she plays little mind to the video, save to turn her head and examine her work; her hair is mostly braided in neat rows, the rest pulled into a low ponytail of wavy curls.

Aveline continues to examine the screen for a few minutes, widening the view to its maximum proportions at one point, revealing that she's on her bed in a sparingly lit room, clad in loungewear and accompanied by a small cache of snack food. The view also shrinks to its smallest size, focusing on her weary face, scars and all. Aveline frowns at that, lightly touching one of the dark circles under her eyes. It doesn't last long before it's back to the default size.

After toying some more with the screen, apparently scrolling, she goes back to braiding her hair, muttering to herself:]

Makes a good mirror, at the very least.

[What a pretty hairstyle....]

You know it's recording, right?

[Voice]

[true_renaissance_man]

Ah... signora Aveline?

You might not...

[Deep breath, just say it Leonardo.]

Should you really be using video when you are ready for bed? There are people who might notice things like this.

[Peep, they might peep on you. ]

wow check iit out we got a real geniiu2 over here.

[affranchise]

your words are most putrid. you really expect me to read that

[Audio]

[affranchise]

[And a lengthy pause before she responds:]

... It is?

[Voice]

[affranchise]

It was not my intention to display this, monsieur Leonardo.

[It can't be seen, but she's rather puzzled at his response.]

I do not think I will be going to bed any time soon. You truly think there would be some so interested in watching me sleep?

[It's a rather amusing thought, as shown by the change in her tone.]

[Alice looks a little scandalized.]

I don't think it... makes that good of a mirror.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Mhmm. [Euri doesn't sound too bothered by this.]

If you're not used to the technology it's easy to accidentally do that.

[affranchise]

[She just raises a brow. What? Did she have something on her face?]

It's certainly more convenient than having to hold one up. Much clearer, too.

[Audio]

[affranchise]

Well, yes. I am still figuring out how exactly to work this. I can't say I see myself using it much in the future.

[digophelia]

You can purchase a floor-length mirror, however. They... they do have those things.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Why not?

[affranchise]

Asgard does not seem to accept the coin I do have on me, so I lack the funds to purchase one, unfortunately. This will do in the meantime, provided I can refrain from showing everyone.

[Audio]

[affranchise]

This is mainly used for communicating with other travelers, non? If I need to contact someone, I can do so privately. I have nothing to say to our little community at large.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

... Oh. [That makes sense, even if it is unsociable.]

Well, I like your hair anyway. [Because she really felt she needed to say that.]

video;

[digophelia]

Do you not have employment? They will only accept the currency circulated within Asgard, the runes.

[Audio]

[affranchise]

Ah. Thank you.

[She's quiet a moment as she traces a finished plait. It's something of a relief to be distracted from her usual thoughts when she did this.]

All the same, I do not mean to keep you at this hour.

video;

[affranchise]

So it would seem.

[A sigh, as she looks a bit put off at what she says next.]

I have... something of a job offer. I have to follow up on it.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

It's okay! I was up doing some work for the shop anyway.

video;

[digophelia]

I see. [And it's not in her nature to pry.] Then perhaps your luck will turn around.

[highstakesgame]

Hoooh? Do you not think much of its communicative properties?

[Voice]

[true_renaissance_man]

It is not something I would do but there maybe others.

[Woman sleeping were not really an interest of his, but she had seemed like a nice girl when they had spoken before so he was trying to look out for her. ]

Perdonami, maybe I should not have intruded. I just did not know if you realized that you could be seen.

[(Forgive me)]

[tradingsecrets]

Well, that's new. I've never seen someone use it as a mirror. Do all girls do that?

video;

[affranchise]

[There's a dry laugh.]

My current misfortune has little to do with luck or money, but thank you.

[affranchise]

Non. They may be intriguing, but I find them a nuisance more than anything.
