[The feed clicks on, Polly's Guide having been bumped while she rummaged in her backpack for a notebook.]

I don't really need to take notes, sir, I'm good at remem--

[She is interrupted by a reedy voice in a decidedly supercilious tone.]

You'll want the notes, sweetie, trust me. Golden Moments Weddings and Events has a reputation to keep up as ( Read more... )

Er, new job?

Re: Video curious_copycat September 7 2011, 04:26:13 UTC

[She is giving a small, worried frown.]

I'm supposed to coordinate weddings...

[Still in the bridal shop, she shoots the profusion of white satin and lace around her a troubled look.]

Lien, you were from Earth, right...?

[As always, the Guide's network never very important to him, Kiriko is only half-listening to the feed until he hears Polly's voice. In a particularly peaceful mood, he's only slightly suspicious when he hears she's become a wedding co-ordinator... but his heart just about stops in his chest when he hears the words bridal boutique.

...The other day, didn't he...

...No. This can't be happening. Of all the jobs on Thor..!

The Suite's silence until that moment is suddenly punctuated by a loud and helpless:]

Damn it!

[The Ex-Doctor, who had been staying with Polly until he became accustomed to his new home, springs from her couch in a second and snatches up his Guide. There's simply no way he can face her until he calms down and comes up with a good excuse.

...Alright, he has to hide for a little while. He's gotten used to taking the elevator places... perhaps he can make it down to his new room. Too bad that isn't much of a hiding place... Shit! Where should he go?!]

[Telepathy] curious_copycat September 7 2011, 04:49:15 UTC

[Thanks to their link, Kiriko's obvious panic blares through to her loud and clear. As such, the tone of her thoughts in reply to him is slightly petulant.]

[You're upset again!]

[Telepathy] dr_kiriko September 7 2011, 15:50:50 UTC

[Her immediate notice of his panic nearly winds him, and Kiriko curses to himself as he stumbles out the door. His mind quietly stutters through how he should respond, fragments of excuses, but unable to find one eventually he gives up. Finally he clamps his mind tight and does his best to pretend he didn't hear...]

Re: [Telepathy] curious_copycat September 8 2011, 04:20:08 UTC

[She visibly jumps in the middle of the bridal boutique as his mind slams shut, earning a strange look from a nearby shopper. She does not understand why he's trying so hard to avoid her, or why he should be panicked at all.]

[He was the one imagining marriage in the first place! If he doesn't want to, she has no intention at all of forcing him! The thought hadn't even occurred to her!]

[She gives a poke at his mind, not unlike knocking on a door.]

[I don't understand...!]

What's a bride?

Re: [video] curious_copycat September 8 2011, 04:23:24 UTC

I guess it's a girl who's getting married.

[Polly looks around at the racks and racks of floofy white confections of silk and tulle and lace. With a very deep frown she absently adds:]

She's supposed to wear white.

[video] t3r3z1owns September 8 2011, 10:00:29 UTC

Oh. Some human custom?

[Sniffing the screen now she can get a better look]

Well that's definitely a lot of white. No matter how much that male you were talking to tries to bullshit otherwise.

Re: [video] curious_copycat September 8 2011, 10:41:08 UTC

[Polly nods.]

And I guess other planets too. My people never did it--Mother said it wasn't wise to promise anyone forever.

[She brightens.]

I thought so too! I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Oh, goodness.

Those dresses are beautiful!

Re: [VIDEO] curious_copycat September 8 2011, 04:28:13 UTC

[She's looking around at them with an almost lost look on her face.]

Yes... They are very pretty...

Re: [VIDEO] leftacreampuff September 8 2011, 04:30:13 UTC

Do you like working with wedding dresses?

Re: [VIDEO] curious_copycat September 8 2011, 06:48:32 UTC

I don't know, yet, I haven't ever worked with them before---I didn't even know that's what they were until just now! My people don't get married.

Chihaya, do you think weddings are scary?

[not being from Earth, Nepeta has no idea what's going on... but hey, she recognizes that voice!]

What are you doing, Polly?

Re: video curious_copycat September 8 2011, 06:49:37 UTC

[The Eternal's expression brightens, seeing Nepeta.]

I'm helping organize weddings, this month!

What's a wedding?

Re: video curious_copycat September 9 2011, 02:31:56 UTC

It's an elaborate ceremony some cultures do. It's arranged when two or more people want to spend their whole lives together.
