Private Conversations with the Lady

soulspice[Welcome to the Lady's...not home far from home, but it's a place she tolerates. The moment you enter it's clear she did her best to make this office in the bookstore a place she approves.
Outfitted with an overly plush chair on a rather elaborate rug, the desk is overflowing with countless books stacked everywhere, with everything serving as a makeshift bookshelf including an errant fax machine. The Lady seems to have tried her best to make the amenities up to her standards: there’s a tray with a teapot, notes everywhere written with confusing ciphers, and what seems to be an attempt to make a generator, but wasn’t completed.
Where the Lady sits it’s far more orderly, facing the door and giving her the high ground against anyone who enters. On the far wall hangs a large portrait of the Lady, adding character and additional charm. Truly, this is the office of someone who wants you to feel small before her presence.
And, there on her chair, there she is. When the door opened she turned her head towards you, seeing who it was. Invariably of who it is, she sighs like this is a big interruption of her work, and keeps writing and drawing]
Don't touch anything and make sure you don't track mud in. If you have any complaints go see Rembrandt.
[She didn't even look up while saying that. So, what brings you to her office today?]

If I'm mistaken though, I'll take it back with me.
[ Just going to grab it to put it back in his pocket. ]

Date: 2020-01-21 11:14 pm (UTC)Oh, you took the time to bring it here? Aw, you shouldn't have! What a gentleman.
[She takes out a hammer]
This will take just a second.

Date: 2020-01-21 11:20 pm (UTC)He'll leave the fossil there on the table then as he steps back to see if she's going to smash it. ]
Go ahead.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-21 11:29 pm (UTC)Absolutely nothing happens except that they just cooperated to break an invaluable fossil. A piece of history is gone]
I'm done. You can take it away now.
[...still, she wonders...]
No, but seriously, why did you bring it?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-21 11:32 pm (UTC)Maybe I can leave them here if you need stress relief, huh?
[ He'll wave his hand. ]
I saw a scratch in the display case and a strand of blonde hair. Thought you were trying to break into it.

Dazai, tell me something: if I wanted those things so badly...why wouldn't I just ask Rembrandt to bring them to me? It's not like these being locked behind glass is going to stop him.

Date: 2020-01-28 08:23 pm (UTC)So you're really lucky when you met Rembrandt here.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-28 08:33 pm (UTC)I met Rembrandt in my world too, not here in Krakow! But I did get lucky with him.
[She can admit that much, yup]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-28 08:43 pm (UTC)I do appreciate he does have a sense of humor.
[ I mean... he laughed at sorry daddy, i've been bad ]
How did you find this world, anyways?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-28 09:38 pm (UTC)That's a secret! Let's just say Rembrandt and I can be a very good team when we want to.
sorry <3 was setting stuff up
Date: 2020-01-28 11:00 pm (UTC)I do enjoy a good mystery. Your partner is already miles better compared to mine.
[ Does she want to gush about Rem some more or has she had enough. ]
Is there anyone the group that catches your eyes?
[ No one says she has to be a solo assistant kind of woman. she can be poly-platonic partners. ]

Date: 2020-01-28 11:15 pm (UTC)I actually like the heroic sort. They can be real dashing...
[She married one and almost left villainy for him. Alas, didn't work very well]

Date: 2020-01-28 11:35 pm (UTC)[ Also there's Shiro but he's gay ]
It must be a little disappointing that you didn't get a lot of those this time.
