I wonder if it's bad luck to have two of the same thing in one place. It might be, but I guess it doesn't matter either way.

{Some people might recognize her as Diva, but for the ones that haven't seen her androgynous form, it might be a surprise. But she's brought a familiar pavilion, and underneath it and around it is a wide variety of things. Furniture, clothing, just about everything that you'd expect inside a luxurious mansion. Some of it looks like it dates from the 19th century or earlier, and some is quite modern. There are also file cabinets off to a side, but they're all quite obviously locked.}

Hey, I want to sell Our mansion, but I don't want to just sell everything inside it, too. So if anyone wants anything, come take it. I don't want most of it.

{Diva hops off the tall armoire she had been sitting on, landing gracefully and easily}

Actually, when I think about it, it's weird that I get the chance to do this again. Maybe I won't burn Amshel's things this time. I wonder what he would think about that...

Ah, but that doesn't matter. I really do mean it. Take anything you want, even the pavilion. I don't need them anymore.

[Drawn in immediately by the promise of free stuff, Brax gets distracted as all good Prydonians do on temporal paradoxes.]

'Two of the same thing'?

{I do love Brax's Magpie-ness. But Diva puts her hand on a pillar of the pavilion}

The pavilion. I have one in my garden, here.

{She nods towards the mansion} I liked it, so I took it with me when I moved the first time.

[collector]

How did you come across it a second time?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Oh, I was killed. When I came back, it was two years earlier, right after I died the first time. So everything was the same as it was, pretty much.

[collector]

Did you? How interesting. [Brax realizes he forgot to feel sympathy, decides that it's too late to throw it in, and opts to not bother and just keep going.] I wonder if that has happened to anyone else.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Because they died? Not that I know of. But plenty of people go back in time and things like that. You do, too, right?

[collector]

Not often. It makes life so messy. [He tilts his head a little.] You mentioned you could change forms. I wasn't sure until just this moment.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

It confuses a lot of people at first. {She changes again, this time to young Anastasia} But there's only three faces that I like. I don't bother changing from the one I like the most very often. That one is the prettiest, I think.

[collector]

[with a bit of a smile] I'll leave that to younger men to judge.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{But then she's back to normal. and wow diva why are you flirting with brax stop that}

Oh, really? Now, that's not fair. Personally, I like older men.

[collector]

[Because she is very promiscuous.]

[Brax seems amused]

Do you? That must make things difficult, considering your age.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Well! If you have to be technical like that, then I guess I like younger men. But the only people I've met that are older than me are Time Lords.

[collector]

Really? There aren't any other long-lived individuals on the Plane? I should look into that. What about the other vampire, Sorin?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

I've only talked to him once. He seemed nice, but I haven't really bothered to get to know him better.

[collector]

Fair enough. [He nods to her Stuff.] Now, why are you getting rid of all of this? You really could sell it and make a nice profit.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

I could, but I don't need any money. I already have plenty, so there's really no need. Besides, I'd rather give it to people here. It's a nice thing to do.

[collector]

I suppose it is. In that case, I'd suggest you make an inventory list. It would make it a great deal easier for people to pick out what they want.

[Brax, of course, has already mentally constructed one while scanning over the place. He's good at that sort of thing.]

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Brightly} I don't need to do that! I'd rather people just looked around and I walked with them. It's more fun that way.

[collector]

Ah, so this is a clever lure for company. You should have said so. I'd have kept my silly suggestion to myself.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

I don't know about clever, but it's not silly. It makes sense, but I'd rather just spend time with people. It's more fun that way.

The predation of a vampire. Very devious, really, if a slightly unusual prey in mind.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

It's not that unusual, if you think that my "prey" is just other people's company. Most people mind that less than if I really wanted a meal.

[collector]

But not all? Well, I suppose different people are drawn to different things.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Oh? Then what are you drawn to, Braxiatel?

[collector]

[Brax laughs] Very dry and boring things.
