12th Transformation (video)

[Lulu Bell is sitting outside of a cafe, cradling a delicate teacup in her hands. The Noah--in her blond human form today--looks even more disenchanted with the world than usual, if such a thing is possible. She talks quietly, as if to herself.]

Reduced to little more than a worm. These curses...

[She sighs the sigh of someone who's far too

You're not going to make many friends that way, Lulu ♪

[she's buttoning up he jacket and grabbing hold of Lero before heading out.]

There there. Worse things have happened.

[thisismyjob]

[It doesn't seem as though Lulu Bell wants to make friends today.]

All the more reason to despise this place.

[dreamsofnoah]

It's happened to me before. Sometimes you even switch with other people.

[skip skip skip down the sidewalk, twirling Lero as she goes.]

You don't have to tell me that, you're not the one who's been here more than two years now.

[thisismyjob]

You're not bothered?

video;

[dreamsofnoah]

Will being bothered change things?

[Cafe sighted! Road heads in that direction.]

[thisismyjob]

[Why so practical, Road?]

No.

video;

[dreamsofnoah]

[She's old? No, that doesn't usually stop her from being completely immature. She's been in the City a long time and refuses to let it win by letting it upset her.]

Then it's pointless.

[And through her device, Lulu Bell may see Road sneaking up on a blonde woman at the cafe - and then attempting to cover her sister's eyes with her hands.] Guess who?

[thisismyjob]

[Perhaps, when Lulu Bell has been in the City long enough to realize that it can't be eliminated like most obstacles, she too will be more accepting of the curses. In the meantime, however...

She puts her device down. It's almost pleasant, in a way, to tolerate Road's childish (and even her not-so-childish) behavior.]

[flatly, but not without the slightest hint of wry amusement] I can't imagine.

[dreamsofnoah]

You could pretend to be more surprised!

[But the anguished wail of her game being spoiled lacks conviction, and she lets herself slump forward with a sigh, one arm over each of Lulu Bell's shoulders - more affection than she usually shows her straight-laced sister.]

Just because I don't complain about it all the time doesn't mean I don't hate being stuck here.

video; (sorry for being so slow to tag!)

[thisismyjob]

[She... raises an eyebrow. There. Is that enough surprise? And Lulu Bell makes no move to shrug Road off.]

I did promise you that we could escape.

video; (it's never a problem! <3)

[dreamsofnoah]

[she snickers at Lulu Bell's lukewarm attempt to feign surprise, letting her go to take the seat across from her.]

I know, I know. I'm just tired of waiting when it's only us here and there's so much going on back home.

video; (thank you <3)

[thisismyjob]

I have plans.

[Kind of. Lulu Bell sets her cup down and pushes it towards Road.]

Drink?

video;

[dreamsofnoah]

What plans? I want to know!

[She peers down into the cup.]

Milk or tea?

video;

[thisismyjob]

I need more information before I can share my plans.

...Milk.

[It's always milk in the City. Tea is for tea parties and fitting in with the Family.]

video;

[dreamsofnoah]

[She was hoping for tea so she could add obscene amounts of sugar to it. Ah well. Milk it is.]

You can tell me some of it at least.

video;

[thisismyjob]

[Milk can have obscene amounts of sugar added to it!]

I'm going to destroy the City. [after a thoughtful pause] Pieces of it. The clock, the carousel, the building the deities work in.
