have yourself a merry little...something

[rosestolilies]

[The mirror pops into view, flickers a few times, then reveals the Queen of Hearts once again, still against a dark background. This time, there's a holly wreath perched atop her hair.]I'm sorry I haven't had the time to listen to all your helpful suggestions, darlings! It turns out creating a world is hard work...ahahaha, who knew

[Signum doesn't even bother to respond this time. She's just taking notes.]

[Which means she's standing quite still and not looking up at the mistletoe above her, obviously.]

[Those with good observation might notice she's using her left hand to write today, with some difficulty...]

What's wrong with me-

[chibi_police]

Is your hand okay?

Lolicon da

[Signum's head twitches briefly in the opposite direction of Ar before she turns to look at her.]

Our trip into the wilderness had a lasting effect, unfortunately. Every time I try to move my right hand, my left moves - it's like I'm a reflection.

Still, if it's like what happened to Major Lin the first time, it should fade in a day or two. I just have to concentrate on what I'm doing.

nuuuuu-

[chibi_police]

What happened to Lin? Ar wasn't here during that time.

[brustriese]

She was made, physically and mentally, into how she was when she was seven. Cute, but rather debilitating. And fortunately temporary.

[chibi_police]

It would be bad if Ar lost as many years.

*Because then she'd be, what, a toddler? A baby?*

*and why is she edging closer? She doesn't even know-*

[brustriese]

I agree. I wonder how that would even work for me...

[Signum finds herself kneeling to the ground, putting her at eye level with Ar. She doesn't normally do that with kids, but...why not?]

[chibi_police]

It would be different for you?

*wait, is she getting the urge to do what she thinks she's getting the urge to do? No, Arge, that is illegal.*

[brustriese]

I don't really age normally. I never actually was a child, I was just kind of...

...do you feel something strange?

[chibi_police]

*normally she would question further on what Signum was saying, but the compulsion was starting to get rather strong*

... Ar is feeling strange, too.

*Must... resist...*

[brustriese]

[Signum breaks first, leaning forward and pecking Ar affectionately on the cheek before even more suddenly leaning back and wondering just what the hell she just did.]

What was...did I just--

[chibi_police]

...

...

... pedophilia is illegal.

*nevermind the fact that she's now kissing Signum on the cheek in return suddenly*

[brustriese]

[With Ar returning the kiss, SIgnum finds she can now stand up and walk a few paces away, rather flustered.]

I apologize, I have no idea what came over me, I'm not...I mean, there's...and it varies from...no, that's not the point...

[Her brain is a bit more broken than before.]

[chibi_police]

*even the normally stoic Arge looks a bit shaken by what happened.*

Ar should be apologizing... Ar should have better self-control than that.

*she might even look a bit ashamed*

[brustriese]

*ahem*

...I think this place is messing with us again.

SIGNUUUM!

[Hayate is flying in the general area of Signum, shouting her name in attempt to find the knight. She sounds quite urgent.]
