[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.))

[Brigitta would be mildly applauding] Good for you!

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah! Well done! The bow and arrow does indeed take a lot of practice.

You look very elegant today, Diva~

[contract_star]

[...He's pretty sure she didn't pack that dress.] ...Diva?

[madamemoiselle]

{Grins}

Ah...! Thank you! I'm usually pretty bad at this.

[Considering that everyone else around here seems to wear things he's never seen before, Len is a bit relieved to see someone wearing something more akin to his reality's clothing.]

That was a good shot, miss.

[madamemoiselle]

It really does. And I've never been very good at it either. All of the other court ladies were much better than me.

{She laughs a bit} Thank you, but...Ah, it's not supposed to be.

[madamemoiselle]

Ne, good afternoon, Hei~ I hit it, did you see?

[madamemoiselle]

{Tilts her head at first, but then smiles}

Thank you, sir. My, you look like the people around the palace. I don't think we've met, have we?

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

[He bows politely]

I don't believe we have. Are you from one of the neighboring countries?

[madamemoiselle]

Mm, well at the moment, Russia.

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

Ah. My apologies, but it is not a name I am familiar with.

[madamemoiselle]

It's not surprising. People here are from all different kinds of worlds and times, so...It's pretty common.

[contract_star]

I saw. Nicely done.

Nice dress, too.

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

I see. I had not been aware such higher magic existed.

[madamemoiselle]

Isn't it? It's such a lovely court dress, but...

{Sighs} It's surprising to even see it again, much less wear it. In any case, I suppose it's nice, though.

[madamemoiselle]

Maybe it's magic, but I don't know. It's just...the Plane, I guess.

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

I am only recently arrived here. Milady is likely far more knowledgeable on the subject than I.

[madamemoiselle]

Now, milady isn't needed. My name is Diva.

{Curtsies politely} It's very nice to meet you.

Ah, but that would be why, then. Welcome to the Plane.

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

It is a pleasure to meet you then, Miss Diva. I am Len, a servant of the Yellow Country.

Thank you. You are very kind.

[contract_star]

Why is it surprising?

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, it's hardly being "kind". It's just normal courtesy, isn't it?

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

Ah- [A flash of *something* passes across his face before he resumes his usual impassive expression.] Yes, that is true.

[madamemoiselle]

{Smiles} So what kind of place is the Yellow Country?

[madamemoiselle]

Because I'm in Russia as a member of the court again...Just like it used to be. Amshel and Grigori are even by my side again.

[servant-ofevil.livejournal.com]

[His smile is so fake it's not even funny] It is a very nice place. There are a great number of flower fields, and the people are lively.
