(Video: May 8th)

[Anastasia appears on the feed, dutifully keeping her long, blonde hair neat and tidy with brushing. She seems to be sitting in front of a vanity mirror with a slight depressed look on her face.]

I...am going to start thinking twice about going to any circuses or carnivals... I feel like a total ass for being rude...

[She doesn't realise she used language unbecoming of a proper lady. What sort of influence brought this on?]

(Action: May 13th)

[On this fine Saturday morning, and after extra work for her language last week, Anastasia decides to hit the city and glam it up to the best her childish stature allows. She'll be walking around, parasol in hand and a Glaceon at her side, she will visit various places around Nova City. Including, but not limited to, a cafe or two, the arcade where she looks at the games, but doesn't actually play them.
The planetarium where she sees if her own home can be found somehow.
A Candy store, because sweets.
A toy store, because that wall-mounted moon lamp looks cool.
Perhaps even wander into Holodeck'd where she has no idea what she just walked into.

Come question what she is doing by herself again.]

I would try to remind you about your language, but I can agree with you...

By the way, did I hear your voice from before?

[He already knew Anastasia, yet her voice causes him to remind the events of the circus.]

Language? Whatever do you mean?

[She really did not notice.]

I think so. I am certain it was you who taught me about my Ribombee when it was still a Cutiefly.

I mean how you used that profane word. It's not very lady-like, you know.

[He then nods his head after she replied.]

I know, but I think I heard that same voice from the circus.

[He doesn't want to ask directly, but considering his actions, he really wants to make amends to his thoughtless acts.]

I'm afraid to ask, but... You are the one with that gothic dress, correct?

[She...what? A profane word? She blushed shamefully, gently covered her face in her hands.
After a moment, she peeked above her fingers.]

Um...Yes... And you...?

[So that means she is the same girl he flirted as well the same one he battled.]

If I can remember, I wore a costume and a half-mask similar to the Phantom of the Opera...

[Well, this is... interesting. It's hard to mistake who was inside that mourning bride costume, even over the network, in spite of the difference in personality.]

The necklace still looks good on you. I hope you can forgive me for being so... forward. [And he rubs the back of his head, clearly feeling incredibly awkward. He didn't do anything wrong, but he did lay it on rather thick.]

Thank you. Though red is an enemy color, I suppose I can make an exception...

[Hold on a flipping minute... Her eyes widened when the realisation dawned on her.]

Are...are you Mr. White?

Oh...you are that grown man who was flirting with me?

[That's generally far from unusual in her world, being the Princess and all. But wanting to be "the man of her dreams" was new. She appreciates the boldness, at least.]

I suppose you didn't mean all the things you said, correct?

Sorry about the color thing - ruby and garnet take more readily to enchantments involving fire. Given time, I could probably work something out with turquoise or sapphire, but... [He shrugs, just a bit.] Gemstones can be difficult to come across. [Understatement much? That ruby alone is probably worth several thousand red bills, the only reason he had one to start with is because he found it in the ruins in Fayren.]

Ah... yes, I am. I'm sorry for not giving you my real name at the time. It's Soma.

You didn't know. I can't fault you. And I agree, gemstones are difficult to obtain, and I need a few for a...a more serious issue...

[It's a long-winded story and doesn't feel like talking about it.]

It is nice to meet the real you. My name is Anastasia.

[He smiles, and it's a whole lot more genuine than the courtly thing he was pretending to as Mr. White.] I may be able to help with that, if you only need the stones. I have a small stockpile from home. [Of course, most of them are currently attached to a certain sword - but he's never really had a use for the treasure sword Joyeuse to start with. And no, he's not going to ask about the details.]

The pleasure is mine, Anastasia.

[She smiles back, but only for a moment.]

That would be wonderful, but... More will need to be done with the stones. It's a very lengthy process.

[Gale happened to be on his way to After Life for an early shift, decked out in his purple flight suit and mask as he tends to do some days. His eyes are quick to catch that young lady with a parasol, and it doesn't take him long to recognize her from the time they spoke over the network.]

Nice day for a stroll isn't it, young lady?

[He'll lift up his mask to show his face, only because he doesn't want to come off as a creeper in a butterfly mask. It's because she's a kid, okay.]

[Yes, a masked man would either scare her or charm her, depending on the situation. Regardless, when she saw his face, she smiled and dipped into a polite curtsy.]

Yes, it's beautiful out. How do you do?

Yes...

[Now that he thinks about it, he starts to feel bad and embarrassed at the fact he also shamelessly flirted with some younger girls as well what he said to them including Anastasia.]

Somehow... I was under the circus's influence at that time, so I'm sorry all of that...

I forgive you. I also apologize for attacking you with my Pokémon.

[However, she doesn't mind being complimented every once in a while.]

I forgive you as well. I understand your reasons behind your actions as well.

I just hope that circus incident doesn't affect you just like me...

I have dreams about it. But otherwise, I distract myself the best I can. I plan on going for a walk around the city latter this week to do just that.

That is good to hear. As for me, I think I should do the same as well after work.

It's better than dwelling into the past.

Most things worth doing tend to be. My offer of assistance stands, no matter the circumstances it was made in.

We have only just met and I do not know you well enough. I do not want to trouble you with my problems until I know the strength of your convictions.

If you'd like, we can talk over coffee or tea - or ice cream, for that matter. I know a place that makes wonderful sundaes and parfaits. I think I can convince you of the strength of my convictions, at least.

(OOC: ...I just realized we never stated whether this was in person or video. Which would you prefer?)

Edited 2017-05-17 14:58 (UTC)

Ice cream sounds good. I humbly accept your invitation.

((OOC: I assumed video by default. But this can turn to action in your next tag if you want. Or we can assume it to be action and make it more convenient.))

Would you like me to come pick you up, or have you ever ridden a motorcycle? Or horse, for that matter? [Granted, his 'horse' is a demon made flesh, a classical Nightmare, but it's tamed to his hand. ...Probably better to opt for the bike. At least it hasn't tried to eat anyone... yet.]

((OOC: Video works for me. Unfortunately I need to go back to bed, because my meds and my legs are conspiring against me having any fun at all, but I definitely want to continue this. There is much potential for cute.))

That will be fine. I have ridden a moped and a horse before.

((OOC: Rest well! I was up all night at work and I still have a long day ahead. Rest hard for the both of us!))
