14th moon [video/action]

[It appears someone has left a tall pile of snow in the middle of the Goldenrod Department Store. In the make-up section, as a matter of fact. Honestly, young people these days. They play mean-spirited pranks, not caring that the store's employees will have to clean that up, not thinking about the poor overworked janitors who would rather be at home, safe from the whims of the storm, No, they care only about their amusement, leaving behind snow piles that-]

Would a forest green lipstick look good with my coloring?

[-nevermind.]

It is past now. There is nothing I can do. But...I am sure Sister Bikini would have shown her the same kindness.

M-Me? _{[Iris looks surprised.]} I've always thought of Dahlia as a strong person...I haven't had to deal with nearly as much.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I think the two of you would have been happier if that were the case.

But every time she suffers, so do you. And yet you can still smile with happiness.

[video]

[usedsubstitute.livejournal.com]

Yes...I'm sure that would have been true. It would be nice to be able to spend time with my sister at Hazakura. I only see her when I visit her in her cell now...

I try my best. After all, one of us has to keep smiling...

[video]

[paladinlost]

Can you do so as often as you wish?

As long as you keep smiling, others around you will smile, too.

ORZ I'm sorry! Is it okay if I tag you on this? *A* If not, feel free to ignore!

[of-france.livejournal.com]

It would certainly match your eyes. Are you getting lip-pencil and stain as well?

[video] It's fine~~

[paladinlost]

I am. And eyeshadow, foundation, powder, rouge, mascara, nail polish... I need to stock up while I'm in Goldenrod.

[Video] 8D Yaaaaaay!

[of-france.livejournal.com]

So it really is a full department store in Goldenrod! I'll have to make a trip there as soon as I get to the city; I definitely could do with proper haircare products instead of what is offered at the Mart.



What color nail polish? Do they have cuticle oil for sale, too?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

It has everything you can think of, I assure you. Well, except for swords. I can finally buy clothes that can be worn in this weather without looking ridiculous.

Even without moving my head, I can see three brands of cuticle oil. As for nail polish, they have any color you might be thinking of, and then some. There's this opalescent cream that would be absolutely lovely over a layer of black, and a dark blue that turns almost royal under the light.

I visit her quite often...but sometimes she does not wish to see me. Because it has been several years in my time since she has committed a crime, I can see her more often.

_{[Iris smiles, as if to prove Cecil's point.]} Thank you Mr. Harvey. I...will do my very best to smile for everyone.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Having a regular visitor must beneficial to her, too. Prison life must be very lonely.

In that case, I'll also do my best to smile as much as I can.

[video]

[usedsubstitute.livejournal.com]

I hope I'm helping her. She doesn't seem to like it much when I visit-perhaps she prefers the solitude...

You have a lovely smile Mr. Harvey. I'd be very happy if you did so.

[video]

[paladinlost]

She might find it hard to show her appreciation.

Thank you. I'll try to smile as often as possible.

[video]

[usedsubstitute.livejournal.com]

...It's possible. Dahlia's never been very good at that.

I'm glad. I would like to see your smile in person someday.

There is a conspicuous lack of weapons in this world. Maybe the training of pokemon negates the necessity?



Oh, I do miss winter fashion shows...



I'm going to spend so much money when I get to Goldenrod, not even joking. I absolutely must buy a manicure set; being in Hell is no excuse for having hands to match.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I do like my Pokémon and believe they are good fighters, but I'd still like to keep a blade or two.

I saved money for three months, in order to buy everything I want. I do not regret the long hours spent in Pokémarts anymore.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Some people have trouble with that all their lives.

We should be able to meet in person soon, since we're in the same region.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

I would rather not have to use my cooking utensils in an event that would warrant self-defense.



I'm glad that it was worth it. I think I would die of boredom at a Mart.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Well, I did find a rather sturdy frying pan, but I'm afraid I do not possess Lady Sheila of Fabul's talent for blunt objects.

I nearly did, myself. But I was not in a state to do anything more complicated than stocking shelves, when I arrived. So I stayed with the shops.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

I know someone with an unusual talent for frying pan attacks, too.



It takes a long time to adjust to this place. It's... really nothing like anything I expected or have seen before...

[Video]

[paladinlost]

[Cecil sympathises.]

Frying pans are excellent for enemy soldiers and sleeping husbands, apparently. She even bought herself a ladle, to use on her daughter.

It wasn't a matter of having problems adjusting. It was a matter of not having the capacity to register that I had to adjust.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

Or for attacking perfectly innocent bystanders just attempting to visit an old friend.



There's no way to fully adjust here, I think; we're given so little to go by that it's almost impossible to figure out even where to start. And then people seem to disappear so often, too...

[Video]

[paladinlost]

[He winces.] Some people always overreact upon seeing people they do not know.

I was lucky; four of my friends were present, and Rosie was reliable enough to compensate for my failings.

[video]

[usedsubstitute.livejournal.com]

That's so sad. ...My sister never smiles, unless she is trying to fool someone about her true nature.

That will be lovely. Would you mind terribly if I gave you a hug?

[video]

[paladinlost]

That's a shame. I'm sure her smile must be as lovely as yours.

That would be nice. A strong, happy hug always helps.

[video]

[usedsubstitute.livejournal.com]

Of course it would be. We are twins after all...

Oh good! I was afraid you were the sort of person who doesn't like being touched. I should have known you wouldn't mind!
