99 -- backdated to Christmas Day

[impure_tale]

My darlings, I've been entirely too quiet since my return from port, but I must admit that I've been completely run off my feet. So very much to do in so little time, but I enjoyed every moment of it and the company that I kept. This morning I did not expect to receive as much as I did, if anything at all. Allow me then to thank you each

A pretty name, though I'm unfamiliar with the original.

[impure_tale]

Sometimes, cherub, there is no greater pleasure than courting the favor of a charming lady.

[gift_enjoyed]

Perhaps, though it's been my experience that men are by far the more interesting gender. You courted this Giselle, then?

[impure_tale]

Both have their selling points.

And not formally. I considered her rather more like a daughter.

[inhumandog]

Indeed the same goes for you, Marquis. Though this does not mean that I am volunteering for any other plays that strike your fancy.

[impure_tale]

You didn't volunteer for the first, and so with that we are unchanged, oui?

[inhumandog]

I have yet to be dragged down to a rehearsal. I might not have volunteered, but I have not put up too much of a physical fight.

[impure_tale]

You do have a point.

[themostdashing]

Giselle?

[impure_tale]

Oui.

She was a Warden here once. Delicate, sweet little thing. She held her own rather well, though.

[themostdashing]

Hm.

Buon Natale, Marchese. I will give you your gift...later on.

[impure_tale]

And yours, pet?

[rayney_day]

I, um... She'd probably appreciate it, but all I keep thinking about is the Master calling his after Lucy.

[impure_tale]

Unfortunately I have quite similar thoughts.

[rayney_day]

I worry about that dog... I don't even know where it is, nowadays.

[captain_jtkirk]

Not really, no. And that's not an invitation to try me.

[impure_tale]

But I require a demonstration.

[captain_jtkirk]

I have no doubt that Pavi can show you.

[impure_tale]

He didn't buy the gift.
