[is walking around with the paper about the prostitute's eyes being glued shut, tilting it this way and that as she tries to read it. too bad it's upside down and she can't, well, read. not that she'd let anyone know that]

This isn't a very good story, desu~

That isn't even a 'story'. It's the news, you idiot.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Who are you calling an idiot you stupid, ugly old man?!

[rosegeneral.livejournal.com]

Yet I am the one that can read~

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

W-w-what are you implying, desu?!

[rosegeneral.livejournal.com]

That you're holding it upside down~

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Y-you're just jealous because you can't read upside down, desu~

[rosegeneral.livejournal.com]

Then what does it say? [laughing at you :<]

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

I-it says, um...it says... [looks at the paper, pretending to read, then kicks him in the shin]

[rosegeneral.livejournal.com]

[almost falls over but is still victorious!] I knew it!

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Y-you don't know anything, desu!

[rosegeneral.livejournal.com]

I know more than you do~ You're only jealous because you can't read!

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

T-t-t-that's not true, desu! [kicks him again for good measure before dropping off the second level, defeated, but too proud to admit it]

[rosegeneral.livejournal.com]

[Laaaaaaughs the whole time before dropping out :<]

[swallowfury]

No, it isn't...

You... really shouldn't look at things like that.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Why not? I always had a story read to me back home, desu. I-I just wanted to read one now while I'm here, desu.

[swallowfury]

I'm sure you could find one a lot nicer than that, though. That one's... what they did to her is horrible,

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[she hasn't actually read it and so doesn't understand what he's talking about]

What do you mean, what they did to her? [tilts her head, looks back at the paper] I-I didn't see anything like that, desu...

[swallowfury]

...... [looks away] They... hurt her. It's... really not a very nice story at all. I think something a little less, uh... well, less like that would suit you better.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

If you say so, desu~ [waves him off] I didn't think it was a bad story...

[swallowfury]

[quietly, almost too quietly too be heard] ... even though she was killed...?

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[hears him mutter, but can't understand what he says] What's wrong, desu? It's just a silly story! T-there's no reason to get upset about a story, desu~

[swallowfury]

And what if the story was true?

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Well, then...um...that would be, ah... [is finding it more and more difficult to realistically pretend she can read her upside down paper] S-so what if it was, desu? I-it's not like it's a bad story, desu...

[swallowfury]

Murder isn't bad...?

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

M-m-m-murder...?! B-but it's not...you're wrong... [looks at the paper] T-that isn't what it says...is it, desu...?

[swallowfury]

[quietly] That's why I said that a nicer story would suit you better. I could help you to try to find a good one, if you want.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[super upset now!] I...I...I didn't know, desu... [nods] T-that would be okay, desu...

[swallowfury]

[don't worry, Luke will give you a hug] It's alright. Don't worry... we'll get you a really nice story, it's okay. And... maybe we can find out who did this to her, so that they won't do it again.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

I-I'd like that, desu... [coughs and looks away, embarrassed] D-do you really think we could, desu?

[clutzy-chosen.livejournal.com]

Wow... I didn't know you could read it upside down!

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[it's just one of her many skills~] Ahahaha...t-t-that's just something I like to do, desu...! I-it makes the story more exciting, desu...!

[clutzy-chosen.livejournal.com]

Really? I'll have to try it sometime myself then!

What's the story about?

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[lying through her teeth, go!] I-it's about, um...ah...monsters, desu! The kind that lure you into the shadows so they can steal your soul, desu!

[clutzy-chosen.livejournal.com]

[doesn't know any better, oops. 8D;]

There are monsters in the city?!

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Horrible, horrible monsters that eat you in your sleep, desu! [whispers to her] They pretend to be people you know and then they attack when you least expect it, desu!

[masteronhigh.livejournal.com]

[looks it over casually, though it's still upside down] Oh, it has all the signs of turn-of-the-century decadence all over it. Which always makes for a fun story, I find.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

M-M-Master! [jumps a little] R-really? I, um, ah... [laughs] I didn't think it was all that interesting, desu... [tilts it a little] There aren't any pictures, either, desu...

[masteronhigh.livejournal.com]

For the sake of public morality, no, no pictures. [pats her head affectionately - with the hand with her ring on it, one must note] Hmm~ You don't know how to read, do you? And no, don't protest, there's nothing wrong with that. It's simply that I could teach you, if you were ever inclined to learn.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[blushes faintly, but nods. it's like he's psychic or something, always seeing through her lies!] Someone always read me a story back home, desu, so I just wanted to try reading one here, too. I-I would like it if you could teach me, desu...

[masteronhigh.livejournal.com]

Then I'd be glad to~ Ooo, this will be fun~! Lesson plans and storytime, all in one! Forget Ruler of the Universe, I'll go into education! When would you like to begin?

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

W-we can start as soon as you want, desu!


[ooc: "I agree completely with your logic~"]

[masteronhigh.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow, perhaps? I think it's best done at teatime.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

That would be perfect, desu~ Can we have more scones, like before?


[ooc: I'd love to, actually! We can do it however/whichever way is easiest for all three of us, but it'd be great to do it because Suiseiseki is itching to find a way to come between the Master and Doctor anyway, the jealous little thing, desu.]

[masteronhigh.livejournal.com]

I knew, when I met you, that you had excellent taste. I shall be sure to steal some from the Lady President.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[oh, happy day, preens and grins]


[ooc: It is not sad at all, nope! That should work! I expect to actually be home and online this afternoon, so we can plot away then. Backdating should be fine, though~]
