{Diva appears on the Astral Plane, and if she was looking bad before, it’s a lot worse now. But after what happened at her new "home", it'd be considered a miracle she was even alive. She’s nude, but covered head to toe in blood. Bandages are wrapped around her in certain places, and stitches stand out against her skin where limbs seem to have been reattached.

As soon as weight is put on her feet, she falls, as her ankles crack and bend to the side. She whimpers for a moment, curling in on herself to hold her ankles tenderly, but as her arms protest the movement as well, she finally screams in agonized pain.}

...Joel was the person that kept me locked up in that tower and experimented on me for fifty years or so. Well, until Saya let me out.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[a bit surprised] Saya freed you?

[madamemoiselle]

And named me! She heard me singing in the tower and came to see what it was. I couldn't speak very well back then, but when she asked what my name was, I didn't know what to tell her. So Saya named me and asked me if I would sing at Joel's birthday party if she let me out. Well, I didn't know what everything else meant, but I did know what "let out" meant.

So Saya let me out, but then left me to go pick some kind of flower with Haji...Ne, I hadn't been fed that week yet, so I went to the birthday party, and there were a lot of people...and Joel...there~

[frowns a bit because it sounds like a massacre but nods] So you fed. But that makes it sound like Saya is - was - on Joel's side.

[madamemoiselle]

She is. Joel raised Saya like a daughter. Saya never even knew that I existed until she found me that one day.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

That's quite a difference in treatment.

[madamemoiselle]

{Glances away with a frown.} I know.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. That isn't fair to you. Can't say I find Saya too impressive sounding from all this. You'd thinking finding you locked up might be suspicious.

[madamemoiselle]

I guess so. I'm just the unlucky one, really~ It could have just as easily been Saya that was locked up and me that got to live comfortably and happily. {Definitely bitter}

But it's bad luck. Nothing to do about it now.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Ah, luck. Never really believed in it, myself. Just events that change through time. But if we're going with luck, I think I'm a bit unlucky, too. Not quite in that same way, though.

[madamemoiselle]

{Smiles again} Maybe, but it's alright. The good things kind of balance out, right?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[smiles fondly at her] That is a very hopeful outlook. That's good! I quite fancy hope.

[madamemoiselle]

Well, my life would be pretty sad without it. I can always hope for better, and that way, I can't be sad. Besides, if you live for a long time, being sad all the time would be a bad way to live all that time. It's better to enjoy it anyway, I think~

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Quite right. Couldn't have said it better myself. [in a playfully arrogant way] Well, maybe I could.

[madamemoiselle]

{Laughs} Ne, but I guess I beat you to it!

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

You win this time, Diva! We'll just have to see about the next one, eh? [smiles] You look like you're feeling a bit better.

[madamemoiselle]

{Nods with a bright smile} Much better! {Leans forward to give him a hug, and even a light kiss on the cheek} Thank you so much, Doctor. ♥

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[smiles and hugs back firmly] No trouble at all. I quite like your company.

[madamemoiselle]

I'm really glad! No one has ever told me that before! {.-. It's sad because it's true.}

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[aw, Diva D:] Really? That's their loss, then.

[madamemoiselle]

{She pulls back and sits primly once again with a small nod} Well, I have been told me that, but it's never meant it in the same way.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I assume they don't bother really talking to you, though?

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, no. They've only meant they enjoy my company because I'm pretty. Or they just wanted to sleep with me, more likely. {Also true! But she seems unashamed of that}

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

That seems like a waste to me.
