1st Diamond [Video]

[justacough]

[It hadn't taken her that long to figure out the bracelet, she had made a few comments here and there but now that she had, she had prepared for it, as she prepared for everything. First, of course, was looking the part. Beautiful always, in control. She didn't let it show that everything going on truly bothered her, well, perhaps not the euphoria induced sleepiness that came with using her power. She was sure there were just as many bothered by it when it came to being here. She couldn't let it show, however. Instead, she offered a cool and easy smile.]

My... but you all certainly are such an interesting sort.

But it does seem some of you know how to have a good time. You laugh in death's face by living harder, by consuming life like locusts. Why, your doldrums they just... [She pouted.] I'm sure some of you realize just how silly you're being. A good time, yes! That's exactly what everyone needs and these sigils are simply lovely in helping with that.

However, are you all telling me this is the first time anyone has done this? Well, if this is the first time, what is it you all do for fun when you aren't helping the gods and running from floods, not that I would call the last part fun? Or are you always planning battles? [She's a lover, not a fighter so she couldn't really care about the fighting part.]

Well then darlings [Her easy smile is back once more.] I hope there are some interesting answers among you.

[This? This is a lazy, charming little grin, and Satine's general appearance is about half the reason for it. Bucky has been feeling somewhat euphoric ever since he drew Freya's rune on his arm, and very much in the mood for, say, a hug or two.]

Can't speak for everyone else here, but I can sure show you an interesting time, since you're asking.

[Video]

[justacough]

I'm not sure you could handle me, Bucky.

[Video]

[snowstormed]

That a challenge? 'Cause I'd be more than willing to take you up on that.

[Video]

[justacough]

And what would you do if it was?

[freewoman]

[Forever eyebrow raise.] Have y'ever lived during a war?

[Video]

[justacough]

The thing you need to know about France is that it's always involved in something: republics, empires, rebels, and everything in between. There's very little that France isn't in.

[Video]

[freewoman]

[She frowns.]

We don't have no France.

[Video]

[justacough]

Well, allow me to assure you, it knows plenty in terms of war and hardships, that doesn't mean you allow yourself to stop living just because of it.

[video]

[theredviper]

Not all of life is war and battles. Only most here seem to concern themselves with these things.

[Video]

[justacough]

Oh I know all about the pleasures that life has to offer. [And them some.] What I want to know is what there is to do in Asgard.

[Video]

[theredviper]

Hm. You will find more luck with us as foreigners than those who are from this realm. Some take to arms as easily as others take to drink. What is it that you like to do?

[Video]

[justacough]

Personally? [She smiles, keeping an easy smile on.]

I'm quite fond of singing and dancing, myself. [And acting, but he doesn't need to know that, now does he.] And you?

video.

[frothing]

There's not a lot of time for fun but I suppose going to the pub.

[Video]

[justacough]

Oh darling, don't let war fool you. There is always time for fun, it's just a matter of when and how.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

The natives throw whooping parties.

[Video]

[justacough]

Well, hello again, just the Doctor. And when the natives aren't throwing parties?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

I make toys, run a bookshop, read, have dinner with the family, spend time with the family, and friends obviously.

[ Pause. ]

That's all rather ordinary, isn't it?

[Video]

[justacough]

[She smiles a bit more sincerely, because he just seems like a family man, the type who would never find himself in the Moulin Rouge on purpose. She doesn't discount that he might, as she's seen the darker side of men who sounded the same before, but for now? For the moment he just seemed like a family man.]

It sounds lovely. [Not that she has a family outside of Harold and Marie. The other Diamond Dogs were friends at best and competition at worst.]

sorry i had to

[trepidations]

Er. Uh.

[ Because he may not have really meant to reply to this, but here he is, at the height of his technological ineptitude. ]

I played chess? As fun as that is. Er.

Don't apologize!

[justacough]

Doesn't sound like you find it much fun.

What do you really like to do for fun?

[video]

[itistolaugh]

That's just what I've been wanting to know! Okay, so stuff flooded and people are sad and world's are probably ending or something, but that's no reason not to party. Right?

[Video] Harley!

[justacough]

[Finally, a girl after her own heart.]

Exactly my thoughts. I certainly understand the need for seriousness, but the body and mind and spirits need to be reminded why you're serious in the first place.

[itistolaugh]

Yeah, yeah! We're in a war or going to war or something like that, right? Everyone knows you've gotta keep morale up! So where's our party?

[familyissues]

We should live as well as we can while we still draw breath. Don't tell me you're bored already, Satine.

[ Hello, pretty lady, there's a dreamy-eyed young man on this end of the feed, playfully smiling in a warm, yet unutterably self-satisfied way. ]

[Video]

[justacough]

Hello, Desmond.

And I wouldn't say bored, floods aren't what I would call boring. It's just not the sort of excitement I'm looking for.

[She keeps her easy smile on for him, shifting to lean a bit closer.]

But it seems we share the same opinion on how to live life.
