rose: play dress-up

[fluthlu]

[In want of a quiet place to knit, Rose has taken her yarn and her needles into the library this morning, and commandeered a table near the back. She's just finishing up what looks like a tiny, purple sweater, but the recipient of the garment doesn't seem to like it took much.]

Edgar, yarn isn't a digestible material. Please refrain from eating your own clothing.

[A tiny black kitten, who's been rolling around on the table, gently drops the sweater sleeve from his mouth before meowing loudly into the journal and hopping off the table to explore the rest of the library.]

[Who th-]

[caligulas_aquarium]

[Oh, it's you.]

Or wwhat?

Keep your filthy little pawwbeast awway from me if you wwant me to havve nothin' to do wwith it.

Otherwwise I'll say wwhatevver the fuck I like.

[fluthlu]

My apologies for daring to let my cat retain free will.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Look, if your 'cat' is gonna go crawwlin' all ovver me an' wwhatevver else the fuck I'm pretty much justified in tellin' it to back off an' find somethin' else to do to entertain itself.

The library is no place for beasts like it anywway.

[fluthlu]

If you don't want him crawling on you, then you could please kindly ask me to remove him. I'm afraid that you'll have little luck in attempting to communicate your grievances to an animal that doesn't understand speech.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Pretty sure it'd understand a fuckin' kick to the face.

[fluthlu]

Ampora, if you kick my cat I'm afraid that you'll find yourself short a couple of vital appendages.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Don't make me laugh.

You must a missed the memo announcin' my ascendin' so far beyond your little black pixie stick bullshit that I could end you if you evven considered doin' anythin'.

So your threats are meanin'less.

[fluthlu]

I shiver in the scathing headlights of your science wands.

[She reclines back in her chair and re-focuses on her knitting.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

Yeah wwell...you fuckin' should.

[...oh she's being all indifferent again.

damnit

he'll just kind've...y'know stand there being awkwardly silent.

Looking around a bit.]

So...uh...wwhat're you makin'?

[fluthlu]

My, what a drastic change of attitude.

[She notes it with a smirk.]

A sweater.

[God she's so bloody smug.

You like it better when she argues, kind've. You figure it's usually you argue and she...speaks in goddamned riddles all the time.

But it's better than this at least.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

It's a bit small don't you think.

[fluthlu]

Gosh, I hadn't noticed. Thank you ever so much for bringing to my attention that my cat's sweater is nigh on cat sized.

[caligulas_aquarium]

I didn't knoww you wwere makin' it for your pawwbeast alright, jegus. I can't read your fuckin' mind you knoww.

[A pause.]

...you are awware beasts don't need clothin' though right.

[fluthlu]

[The same reply she gave to Arthur.]

Of course they don't. No species biologically requires clothing, unless it's for protection from the environment.

[Huh...

That's actually a good p-NO NO DON'T EVER AGREE WITH HER NOT EVEN INWARDLY.]

[caligulas_aquarium]

So wwhy fuckin' bother if you think it's so unnecessary, then?

[fluthlu]

[She wants to go into a rant on cultural adaptations, but after taking a deep breath she realizes she's lost her steam, and just sighs instead.]

After nine months here, one starts to run out of practical knitting projects.

[caligulas_aquarium]

...okay, I guess that makes sense.

Fallin' into a rut or somethin' ovver wwhat to do Kan used to get that sometimes.

But it wwas rare, she usually had ideas pourin' outta her peepspheres like an endless stream a tears.

Though I guess she didn't havve the wwhole trapped in a castle thing goin' for her.

[fluthlu]

Not in your world, she didn't. Though she has been here briefly.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Yeah, I uh--

I heard. Someone tried convvincin' me she wwas here right noww.

But I kind a figured that wwas just nonsense on their part, it wwas Sol anywway an' his wword's nothin' to go by so.

[fluthlu]

And what would her presence here entail for you, such that he would be trying to convince to you? I assume it wasn't a pleasant joke, by your tone.
