[with the tail end of a light, long sigh, the feed turns on, and it's Giselle, sitting on the floor with a sofa to her back. a faint border along the bottom of the screen, black fur. everything has a very vague, gentle up-and-down movement as the big animal in her lap snoozes away

Personally, I'm more of a summer person - but the winter can be very pretty!

And hello again, honey!

[princesscliche]

[haha winter what - that subject is totally dropped for le gasp:] Oh!

Oh, hello again! [big smiles, sitting upright.] I remember you! When we went shopping together!

[fireinthehero]

Yes, yes - and I suppose you'll have to get some clothes for the cold now, too!

[princesscliche]

Goodness...You're right! It's going to be different than anything I've ever made before...I'm going to have to look at some patterns and learn just what people here like to wear when it's really cold.

[afeatherpillow]

Yes. Yes, it will be snowing soon. In a few months.

[princesscliche]

[a beat.

she lights up.]

Katurian. That is you, isn't it?

[afeatherpillow]

I'm glad I found you. Did you know that they're having a ball?

[Pause.]

I didn't know either, I mean, not until this afternoon, but anyway, it's a charity thing, you know, a charity thing on account of all the chaos we've had lately and I'm thinking that as imports, I'm thinking that we owe it to the native population to earn some money for them. I think we owe at least that, so anyway, what I'm doing is I'm donating money because I've been having good book sales and it looks like I'll keep having good book sales, but it seems a little funny to give money and not actually do anything, do you know what I mean?

[princesscliche]

Ka--[her mouth opens and clothes, almost about to mow him over but he said a magic word.

ball.

rapt attention, he has it. her eyes get big. christmas. kid in a candy store. magical happy sparkly things. etc.

drawing the comm to her face:] A ball? There's a ball?

[notadartboard]

Aww, poor Miss Giselle~! Is it cloudy there? Would you like to see the sunshine?

[he turns the camera so she can see the huge blue ocean and the bright tropical sun. Wish you were here]

[princesscliche]

[a gasp.] Sa--

[then a delighted giggle.] Sanji, you even bring the sun with you!

[notadartboard]

It's the least I can do for a beautiful princess, while I'm so far away. I'm too far from any islands to show you palm trees and beaches, but I've taken pictures to bring back!

[princesscliche]

[shaking her head with a smile at that sweet talk.] Oh, you must get back soon and let me see! I hope you've been having a wonderful time out there!

[princesscliche]

[YES.

smiling brighter.] Oh, is it? Is it like...like a cloud? A cloud right here on the ground? That's what I imagine it to be...

[princesscliche]

[her head tilts at the notion.] I've never been on a cloud, either...maybe it is! [shaking her head of it, nose crinkling with her smile.] But I would love the chance to play in it -- snow, that is. And I do like pretty things!

[invokings]

You've never seen snow before?

[princesscliche]

[she shakes her head, smiling thoughtfully.] No, it never gets too cold in Andalasia for something like that...Though, I've heard stories about snow-capped mountains and faraway lands covered in ice...

[invokings]

Andalasia? Is that your home?

From what I've read, the further north you go, the colder it gets. [ which actually makes him wonder how north they are! what is this strange american country. ]

[princesscliche]

North...that would make sense. [she nods a little.] I've seen little maps before, in my storybooks...and the places in snow are always in the north, too. So--oh, yes! I'm sorry, yes. [smiling sheepishly for having mowed over a question.] I'm from Andalasia. [her head tilts a little.] Do you know of it?
