voice Ϯ 01

[The voice is that of a young woman speaking in a crisp English accent. She sounds entirely unamused, though not necessarily resigned to her situation.]

If the circumstances here are truly as they've been presented to me, it would seem that my travel plans will need to be revised and that I shan't be leaving for Paris in the morning after all. More pressing, however, is the lack of access to my own finances. I find this irritating, to say the least.

[A girl's gotta have some cash. Real money, too, not this fake stuff they're touting. This is absolutely ridiculous. She sighs, voice taking on a slightly more sympathetic tone.]

As I said, if I can't go to Paris tomorrow, I shall have to alter my plans. I am in dire need of a tailor. Someone skilled. Not a dressmaker. I shall impart the details of my commission to said tailor, if and when we are introduced.

At present I have nothing to barter with aside from my good name and promise of repayment at a future date. And with all these witnesses, that ought to be enough. My name is a very good one, if that matters to anyone at all.

[There's a deliberate pause before she speaks again.]

Though if anyone should have pertinent information on how one might go about securing passage away from this this... settlement, I should be much obliged for your assistance.

Settle what? I assure you, mademoiselle, I am very real.

[Hold the phone. This just got real.]

They are-- were my brothers in arms. How did you come to know that name?

[Yeah, well. Nice going there.]

... I do not understand.

dear god that face

You are mistaken.

[Jumping through space and time is enough, she's got to have this wrong somehow.]
orestes: (16;)

disagree

Forgive me, but I cannot believe you.

[Because seriously bro, he's real. He's really real. He could offer philosophical arguments for his being real, but the end result is, no, seriously, he's real. And if he's not real, then how are they having this conversation anyway? Yeah, no. Best not to get into all of that with a near stranger.]

... The pleasure was mine, Mademoiselle Worthington. [And this, at least, is said with all the rehearsed, sterile precision of someone who has been trained in classical etiquette from an early age.] Perhaps we will meet again.
