[madamemoiselle]

{Diva hops onto the Astral Plane, or, at least it looks like her. The hair and eyes are the same, but everything else is completely different. With a much more boyish frame, a younger face, and even being smaller in general, it seemed as if she was wearing someone else's skin.}

Ne, that girl, she must have been bad luck. After all, you brought sister with you into New York! How sad~
But it's kind of nice to see Saya again, even if she's here to kill me and my Chevalier. Ah, last time we saw each other was on that boat, after all. She's probably still angry about that.

{Her hands release what she was holding, and she scatters what seems like glittering, blood red rubies on the invisible ground. Diva crouches down to pick one up again, holding it in between her fingers with a decidedly blank expression.}

But she didn't hesitate this time. It makes sense she'd kill my Chevalier first, but...Well, I guess Karl died the way he wanted to. Ne, but it's getting more dangerous to stay at "home". Would anyone care if I just stayed here for a while? It's really getting to be troublesome to stay at home, even with my Chevalier to protect me. If she can't find me, after all, maybe sister will leave.

Comments

[madamemoiselle]

Thank you. I sang here once, since I figured that the people here would like it. I guess you didn't get to hear...I could sing for you if you'd like.

[contract_star]

I must have missed it.

[Blushes a little and rubs the back of his head.] Th-that would be lovely, but, I mean, only if you want to...

[madamemoiselle]

It's not a problem. I should practice anyways, right?

{She smiles with a nod before she stands straight and brings her hands to her chest. Diva takes a deep breath and begins to sing a lovely aria}

[contract_star]

[And at the first note Hei goes completely silent, just staring at her with wide-eyed amazement. Eventually he closes his eyes and listens, a soft smile on his face.]

[madamemoiselle]

{She finishes the song perfectly after a few minutes, opening her eyes again with a smile} That one's my favourite. Ah, I wrote it myself, actually.

[contract_star]

[Softly,] That was amazing, Diva.

[madamemoiselle]

{Bows slightly} Thank you. I really love to sing, so it's exciting that I'll actually be performing for a big crowd.

[contract_star]

Heh, I couldn't even imagine performing for a crowd--I'd get stage fright.

[madamemoiselle]

It's not so bad if you're doing something you love. I always get a little nervous, but I love to sing so much... Well it's gone once I start.

[contract_star]

I don't really have any talents like that...although, I do really love cooking, I suppose.

It must be nice, though, to have something you love doing that much.

[madamemoiselle]

Cooking is a good skill to have! I certainly don't...But I don't need to cook my food anyways, so it'd be kind of a waste, I guess.

Ne, but Li must have something that he really loves too.

[contract_star]

You mean you don't eat food at all?? [Hei cannot comprehend.]

[Smiles faintly, looking down at the "floor".] Not really.

[madamemoiselle]

Mmm, not what you would call food anyways. {Without warning, she's back to "normal"} My food is human blood. So you can't prepare that, obviously.

Well, then we'll just have to find something! Right?

[contract_star]

[Caught off guard by the transformation, so it takes him a moment to answer.] Well, yeah. But could you eat regular food as well, if you wanted to? Or is it that it's bad for you?

[Just smiles at the comment.]

[madamemoiselle]

It doesn't taste like anything. I could eat the most delicious thing in the world and it would taste like...Well, it would taste the same as the worst. Well, except for a few things. I can taste alcohols, oh, and strawberries! Those are really good~ Almost everything else, though...nothing.

[contract_star]

[Hei looks momentarily horrified at the idea that food could taste like nothing before he collects himself.] W-well, strawberries are something! Hm, maybe I could make you something with strawberries sometime...

[madamemoiselle]

{That makes her laugh a little, but she smiles brightly} I'd really like that.

[contract_star]

[Beams at her.]
