Entry #8: Honor the Dead.

[iron_marksman]

The negotiations went well enough, at least on the surface. A treaty was planned and drawn up between the factions and countries, and it seems fair. The world is still reeling from past wars, I feel an intense relief at just barely circumventing another

I certainly haven't had a proper celebration of Halloween in years. Really, since I ended up leaving the palace on...business, if you will.

Before then, my father would always throw the grandest balls. Very different from yours or Shinju's, I should think, but lovely in their own right. I quite enjoyed those parties...

On another note, I'm glad to hear that a treaty was drawn up without much fuss, I hope. When negotiations go well, I always get a warm feeling in the pit of my stomach.

[iron_marksman]

Oh, I see. I hope you have more fun this year.

That sounds amazing.

Yes... He's the "stab in the back" type person, but certain... situations both he and I are dealing with are keeping him under control... for now.

[princesseimi]

I certainly hope so, as well. It shouldn't be too hard - I'll be spending it with all of you, I expect?

One day, if you should like, I'd enjoy having you at one. In fact, I could likely throw one in honour of everyone, if they all decided to come over to the palace upon my return. Maybe not an All Hallow's Eve celebration...but it would still be lovely in its own right, I should think.

Mm, most people involved in negotiations tend to become the "stab in the back" type, but it's good to hear that they're currently under control. Should they become a little less under control, I might be able to round up a soldier or two to take care of them?

[iron_marksman]

If you want!

I'm.... not fond of formal social events... but thanks for the invite.

Yes, but most people I was raised around were also raised to be that way. I'm guilty as charged but I find I'm more humane and honorable than some tyrants. No thanks, I don't want any more blood on my hands if I can help it.

Hmph. Your dad's way of celebrating reminds me of the pantheon we've gotten in touch with back home and how their mortals celebrate.

[princesseimi]

Is that a bad thing? I quite like how my father celebrates. c:

[seraphsariel]

Never said that. I'm boinking one of their major deities and the ball's usually held in her sister's honour, so I'd be a dumbass to say anything negative.

I just happen to abhor getting dressed up.

[princesseimi]

Aa, fair enough.

You certainly are boinking quite a few people, aren't you? Just wondering, not a comment on you. c:

It's one of my few pleasures. I love to dress up. c:

[seraphsariel]

Eh, when I'm single it's what I do. In this case it's actually a committed relationship, as there's political undertones to it. Plus you never cheat on a deity. Never ends well.

It is far, far too uncomfortable for me. *shudders* And overly girly.

[princesseimi]

Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. Deities have that sort of power to make you regret it the moment you do, hm?

Fair enough. You and I are very different people, I think. But in a good way. c:

[seraphsariel]

*serious face that falls slightly* Yeah. Tell me about it.

[princesseimi]

Oh my...it's happened before, hasn't it?

Feel free to visit anytime you need to hide from people. c:

[seraphsariel]

Once. And that was more than enough.

[princesseimi]

I can certainly understand that sentiment.

[seraphsariel]

It was all tied to political bullshit too. I chose the wrong side.

[princesseimi]

It's a hard thing to do - pick the right side initially. But it'd be worse after that, I think.
