005 - Accidental Video

May 25, 2011 23:16

[Juliet is pacing slowly up and down along a wall. She's bumped the PCD, which she'd set on a little table, and so it gets a good view of her retreating backside as she walks the length of the wall. She turns, and drifts back the way she'd come. In her arms, tucked against her chest, she cradles Bubbles' stuffed octopus. Dark circles show under ( Read more... )

event: zombies, she's not all here right now, sort of mourning, feeling guilty and upset

[Video] warning, notifs are down so I may be very slow til they're fixed marriedforlove May 26 2011, 03:42:54 UTC

Child, you are frightened. I will come to sit with you if you wish.

[Juliet blinks and looks at the PCD, shaken from her pacing at the sound of a friend's voice.]

M-majesty. You are quite kind.

[Video] marriedforlove May 26 2011, 10:11:52 UTC

Have I not said it before? We must come together, here. I will be at your home shortly.

I am not at home, Majesty. Lord Duroc has brought me and my cousin to a safe-house, the one Sokka spoke of through the machines.

[And then she realizes that means the Queen will be traveling through the streets.]

Majesty, forgive me, but you cannot go out of doors! It is not safe! Have you any sort of escort to see you safely from one place to another? I would not have you risk yourself.

I am not unarmed. [Not by the time of this conversation, when she's already had her meeting with Spike.] I am not afraid. I will come.

[A princess of Spain, born on campaign while her parents battled to unify their country, afraid?]

[She is deeply touched by this, that the Queen would risk her own life to sit with her and give her comfort.]

Your Majesty....

You truly are a strong and noble woman, Your Majesty. Please be safe.

[Katherine, armed with a large, heavy machete, arrives slowly - the better to go carefully and secretively through the streets. She knocks at the door once she arrives.]

It is Queen Katherine. Open.

[Someone at the safe house has let the Queen inside and ascertained that she is free from infection before conducting her toward Juliet, who has resumed her pacing out of the way of most people there. She looks up as the Queen enters, shaken from her thoughts, and curtsies, still keeping hold of Octi. It must look rather silly, clutching a skirt and a stuffed purple octopus at the same time.]

Majesty. It - it is good of you to come.

[Offline] marriedforlove May 27 2011, 10:12:50 UTC

[If it looks silly, Katherine still does not mock it. It needs no explanation; what happened to Bubbles is public knowledge.]

I hope to be of some comfort.

[Offline] capuletnomore May 28 2011, 15:41:57 UTC

Having friends and family about is always a comfort, Majesty. You - you are well? You were not accosted in the streets?

[Offline] marriedforlove May 28 2011, 21:45:00 UTC

I am quite well. I am not so foolish as to throw myself in front of people who may wish me ill.

[Offline] capuletnomore May 28 2011, 21:57:00 UTC

I did not mean to imply such, Majesty. But I have seen one of these creatures move very fast - the one who, who bit Bubbles. I feared he might set upon you as you traveled.

[Offline] marriedforlove May 28 2011, 22:10:54 UTC

I am armed, and do not fear to use my weapon.

[She comes from a line of very war-like kings, and her earliest memories are of seeing battles.]

[The Queen displays new bravery and skill every time they meet. Now she speaks like Sango, speaks of fighting should the need arise.]

You are formidable indeed, Majesty. I have little skill with weaponry. I must rely on Tybalt for my protection. That is why we are here. One knife against those creatures would not have been sufficient. Lord Duroc brought us into his home, and we came here afterward.

[Oh, she is not trained. She is not 'Isabel, Queen with the heart of a man' who rode out to battle and victory herself at the head of her own army as its reigning Queen.

But she is not afraid, and she fight what little she can before she will lay down.]

You are fortunate to have your cousin. My men are in England, still.

[Offline] capuletnomore May 28 2011, 22:25:33 UTC

There is no one of English descent who would serve as your protector, Majesty?

[This idea is shocking. Were a man of higher rank than the Capulets to arrive here from Verona, they would of course put themselves in his service.]
