{Amshel is back, all is well in Diva's world. Or, that is, as "well" as it normally is. She's opted for a blood transfusion today, so Diva is sitting in a chair with one arm out and taking in a steady drip of blood. It's not something that happens often (especially when Amshel is encouraging her to just go 'hunting'), but it's a nice, peaceful alternative. It's really too bad it's not practical.

But in any case, Diva's lap is full of photographs. Some look very old, while some look more recent. There's not a lot that can be done during the process, so Diva has decided to take a stroll through her memories, humming contently as she flips through the photographs with a fond expression.}

D-Diva-san? Are you well?

[madamemoiselle]

{Glances up} Ah, yes, I'm fine Tohru. This is...Well, it's not exactly normal, but it's helpful when I need it. I'm anemic, so I need more blood than I can get from time to time.

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

O-oh. [Comes over] Are those pictures of your homes, Diva-san?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[just sort of watching you quietly, Diva] Something wrong?

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, not really. Amshel came back, and just in time, I guess. I slept for a whole day, actually.

{Thoughtfully, looking up from the photographs} So Amshel decided that it would be good to have a...blood transfusion, I think it's called, to make sure I stayed, um, healthy. And it takes a while, so I decided to look through the photographs I've been able to keep.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

And you can't do this all the time instead of sucking people dry why now?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Actually came over to ask about something else but stops when he sees her] Are you all right?

[madamemoiselle]

I'm fine. I'm anemic, so I needed a little more blood than I could get.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Is somewhat relieved that she's fine] Um, you had a someone missing for your reality, didn't you? Did they come back?

[Ikki watches, hands shoved in his pockets. Eventually he shuffles over, casual, and curious about the photos.]

Family photos? Or something else?

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, not really family photos. I don't have a family, so that wouldn't work. It's a bunch of different photos from all the times I've been awake. Like...

{Diva shuffles through the photos, finally picking out one of the oldest and holding it out to show Ikki} Like this is when I was masquerading as Anastasia. Alexei is the one in the front, and I'm the one drinking tea behind the empress.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

My family isn't the normal kind either.

[Ikki studies the photo for a while. Talk about culture shock.]

They all look kind of pissed off at being interrupted.

[have a Suiseiseki, Diva! a nervous one, but a Suiseiseki nonetheless] Ah ... what are you looking at, desu?

[madamemoiselle]

Photographs. There aren't a lot that I got to keep, but it's nice to look at them and remember what was happening when they took the picture. There's a few of me, but a lot of them are people that I knew. Like there's Russia, Germany, and oh, there's a few of Vietnam, but not a lot. Not a lot of cameras in the countryside, really.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[peeks at the photos, still nervous around Diva but wanting to see them, anyway] So these are all your friends from before, desu? It must be nice to be able to see them again.

[Hei nods at all the transfusion equipment.]

That's an interesting way to handle it.

[madamemoiselle]

Well, it was kind of the only way. It's a good thing Amshel came back, because I was asleep all of yesterday. Or, well, I remember going to sleep two days ago, and I woke up this morning and Amshel is back. So he decided that a few transfusions, if that's what it's called, would be the best way to get my strength again.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Have an Ammy in wolf form.]

Goodness! What is all this? You are not injured, are you? [Poor goddess is from like the 1200's and has never heard of transfusions.]

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, no, no, I'm fine. Ne, I just didn't have enough blood, so I'm getting some more. Ah, I was so weak that I couldn't even take it from other people, so this is what Amshel does then. It's easier that way.

[didorothy]

[oh look, the blood transfusion is actually making him happier. Because it helps him think that Diva isn't evil. Which is a good thing for him to be able to think!]

What're those, uhm... some of those are pretty old. From other times you were awake?

[madamemoiselle]

{Aw, how sweet. I think. But Diva nods with a bright smile} Yep! There's not...a whole lot, but there's enough for me to remember the people in them. I never forget a face, after all. Like...

{She shuffles through before picking one to hold out to him} Like this is a Roma family that Amshel and I met on the way to Russia. In the back, it's Andrzej, Nadya, Mirelia, and Loiza, then the husband is Stefan and the wife is Andon. We stayed with them for several weeks on our way east, so when we stopped in a town where a photographer had stopped, I got this picture made of them. They all look really serious in this picture, but they were really a lot of fun. Amshel didn't like them, though. Something about gypsies, I think he said. But Andon, she took care of me like another daughter. She was a lovely woman.

If you needed, blood, you know you could've just asked, Diva.

[madamemoiselle]

Ah, well, I wouldn't have been able to ask or even take any. I was asleep, so my Chevalier have been giving me blood this way to wake me up. This will probably be the last one, actually. But it's because Amshel left, they decided. He gave me the blood of awakening, so...I need him to stay awake.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

...is this what you do instead of biting people?

[madamemoiselle]

That depends. Do you ask silly questions instead of knocking people out and maybe stabbing them with a...Well, I would guess a scalpel. But maybe a pocketknife too. {:| Yeah bitch}
