016--Why, Mum?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Enter nicely dressed Rose, playing Heiress]

Right, yeah, I'll just be a minute, and yes it is lovely to see you aga--

...well, that was convenient. I really wish Mum would stop setting me up on dates. Through his mother, no less. Sometimes, she's insane.

[Takes off heels] And my feet are killing me. But I did get some nice cake out of it.

[making a face at Rose - technically at Jackie but Jackie cannot see him, so he'll give Rose the look instead] What, again with the boys?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Yes, again with the boys.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

That's our Jackie, tenacious to a T.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

That's one way to put it. I prefer batty.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's another way. Is it the same one as last time or has she got a list?

[oh, another high-class lady? Lucy is interested, and so moves in to introduce herself, extending a friendly hand. ever the politician, you know] Oh my. Having a rough time of it, then?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Shakes it!] I blame my Mum.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[laughs politely] That is certainly the fashionable thing to do. [conspiratorially] And between us? The correct way of it, as well.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Always is. Always has been, really.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[grins widely] It most certainly is. Lucy Saxon, by the way. A pleasure to meet you, Miss...?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Not big on dates, are you?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Only with some people.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Like the ones your mum chooses for you?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Yeah, those ones. I swear, she's already planning my wedding with Will.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Thought you were pretty keen on the idea of marriage?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[have a curious and happy-looking Jack] How come you never dress up like that for me?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

You never ask!

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I wasn't aware I had to ask, but I'll keep it in mind. What's the occasion, anyway?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Mum threw another party, and it's my day off, which means I had to be there.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I thought you'd enjoy a party.

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, that happens to you too? Ah, it's not fun at all when people set up dates for you, is it?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I really only get through it by thinking she means well.

[madamemoiselle]

Was he nice, though? It's only terrible when it ends up being someone very rude. When they're pleasant enough, then it's not so bad, I think~

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. We've gone out a few times.

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, but not your type, I guess?
