[She paused on the video before speaking, looking uncommonly serious for someone usually so full of laughter, drawing a slow breath in. Trying to find words that were... discreet, not completely applicable to her. She was, at times, capable of such things.

There has been just the one thing on her mind, for all she was trying to remake her friendship with Bess. A quiet niggling, but it was more then that, it was a deep seated anxiety, and for once, it showed. Before it had been a case of out of sight, out of mind. But now? Now it was different.
]

Tell me... has anyone every had someone appear that they... they came from the same place, so to speak? And... if they were bound in some way...

[she chewed on her lip for a second.]

... would you still be expected to honour that bond? Even in your heart you did not want to, and you were loathe to be in that persons presence even a little? 

[she didn't hate her husband, necessarily, but she knew, it was a mistake for her to ever be around him. Nor could she forgive him, and she was just starting to enjoy herself here.

[ he may as well use this damn network for research. ]

If you were to take loyalties to a king, what kind of king would you want them to be? Would you think better if they were harsh or if they were wise? What sort of person would you lend your allegiances too?

[ It's a general topic. he's curious to hear the opinions of people around him. he seems less rigid than when he first arrived. the break from all the battles has done well on him. he's not uneasy and robb speaks with a warm confidence. ]

This is ridiculous. I look like my great-grandfather. With breasts.

No, I'm not showing anyone.


Arya - Lessons are canceled today and tomorrow.

Yamashita - The mirror in the bathroom is broken. Sorry.


And I need one of my Freya housemate's assistance for a short period of time. Assuming they won't laugh. This means you stay away, Shiki and Cerebella.

[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.]

[It's been a while since this particular face has been on the network in a video of her own, and she's much more cheerful than she was a couple months ago.

Rue starts the video off with a laugh and a wave at the camera. Behind her are racks of clothing--maybe she's in a store?]


Hi, Asgard, hi! [Now what could possibly make this shy girl so excited? The answer becomes obvious enough when she moves the screen to show another familiar Traveler. Well, familiar if you can see past the really..."eye-catching" outfit he's wearing right now. ]

Peeta asked me about clothing, and I helped him pick something out! [Look, she's so proud of it. Can't you tell?] Isn't it colorful? All the nice flowers got washed away by the water this week. [Here she actually frowns, crossing her arms over chest unhappily.] So maybe we should make the city brighter again by wearing brighter clothes! Wouldn't that be nice?

[This logic totally makes sense, okay, don't question her.

After she finishes talking, Rue quickly loses interest in the video she's sending in favor of better things. The viewers might hear her exclaim "Peeta, let's go look at the shoes!" right before she remembers to turn the bracelet off.]



(ooc: Replies will come from both Peeta and Rue!)

[how about a nice video post, asgard? have mr. egyptian here leaning back comfortably in a chair in his room, looking out the window in amusement as he runs a hand through his hair]

Such complaining about a little water, Asgard! It is about time for Akhet, where I come from -- the beginning of the year, and the annual flooding of the Nile River. If only those who had built these halls thought to accommodate for the possibility of a flood.

Ah, but perhaps one of the gods has experienced a loss recently. It is said the Nile floods because of the tears Isis sheds for her dead husband, Osiris.

[She clearly has no idea what she's doing. For starters, the video is just of the wall to begin with. Mostly she's just hit buttons until something seemed to happen.]

Is this...? Oh dear, this is so dreadfully confusing. Well...

[Finally she comes into view, curls all arranged perfectly despite her absence of maids to attend her, or near enough. Admittedly, her hat is hiding most of it, but that was the novelty of such a large hat, and she was glad she had them, because doing her hair was going to become... difficult. Almost as difficult as lacing up her corset by herself.

She's also sitting on the stairs of the Welcome Hall, and somewhere between a frown and a pout on her face. She was doing alright with being here, some part of her was even excited... but... well she couldn't go out through the water. It would ruin her dress, and on top of everything else, she disliked feeling trapped, even if she was used to it.
]

I'm told that others can see this? I'm a little confused but... does anyone know how to leave the buildings without... well, getting damp?

[She leans on her hand, sighing a little, just a bit bored too.]
