[madamemoiselle]

Ne, I don't understand it at all...

{Diva is looking very fashionable in red today, wearing the hairstyle and clothing of a Victorian fashion, complete with all the equipment at her waist or in her hands for archery. She's nocking an arrow with a very practiced fluidity. There's no way she would be able to use the bow in her hands as a weapon, just for sport. To further accentuate that, a distance away is a rather beat-up looking target with a few arrows in it already, though very few are even on the target.}

I mean, it would make sense when I found that book, but now is such an odd time. I hadn't even been seeing the palace lately.

{She stops murmuring to herself for the moment, aiming and shooting the arrow, and much to her own surprise, gets fairly close to the center! This is surprising for her, since her aim was always pretty terrible.}

...Ah! I hit it!

{Diva smiles, quite pleased with herself, drawing another arrow out of the quiver to try again.}

((ooc: Experiment start for Diva! You can find the details here, but she's chillin' in her memories of Russia at the moment, basically.))

{Quietly} We'll see about that much. It's really hard for me to say no to them.

[contract_star]

I know. Believe me, I do. Just try, alright? Trying is just as important.

[madamemoiselle]

{Diva nods, but after a moment of thought, she comes closer to Hei, taking his hands delicately}

I'll try. But with any luck, I won't have to choose. It's not like I had to make decisions or do terrible things every day.

[contract_star]

[He looks down at her hands.] That's good. I hope you don't have to, either.

[madamemoiselle]

{Cheerfully} Well, all I've done so far in Russia is get these clothes on and play games, so it's the fairly normal court life. And even before I was Anastasia! That was more fun, actually.

[contract_star]

Right. I imagine it would be, what with the chaos afterwords.

[madamemoiselle]

That is odd, isn't it? I wasn't really thinking ahead about what will happen, but...hm, that's kind of sad.

[contract_star]

I only know the story from the history.

[madamemoiselle]

Well, it's that I kill Anastasia and take her shape to be in the Romanov family. Grigori gets closer to the family, but Amshel doesn't like what Grigori is doing, so he kills him. I kill Alexi and make him my Chevalier, but Amshel sends Alexi to Saya while Amshel and I are leaving.

[contract_star]

I don't think I realized how closely involved in...all that you were.

[madamemoiselle]

Well, really...It was my fault, kind of. Since I killed Alexei, that made Grigori upset, and once Grigori wasn't useful anymore...Well, he was killed of course.

{Still with a smile, but it's a very dark thing she says} Ne, my Chevalier and I have done lots of terrible things, Hei. I told you.

[contract_star]

[He nods slowly.] I remember you telling me.

Still, you're better than that now.

[madamemoiselle]

I am. Even if...some people don't think so, I promise that I am.

[contract_star]

[Smiles broadly.]

[madamemoiselle]

{Smiles back brightly} Ne, you should smile more, Hei. You have such a nice smile, after all.

[contract_star]

Aheh...really?

[madamemoiselle]

Absolutely!

[contract_star]

I'll give it a try, then.

[madamemoiselle]

You're doing pretty well already, aren't you?

[contract_star]

Ah...I suppose.
