Okay. The Queen's latest mess has been cleaned up. Nobody's dead. Some of us have medals. [ Not that Batgirl got a medal, despite nearly being eaten by half a dozen vampire plants. Vampants? Planpires? Lame. This is why they should've been Frankenplants. ] That's fantastic. Seriously, thanks to everyone who helped out through healing, fighting, and defence strategies. It's great to know that if we never need to stage an emergency barbecue, apparently, we have the fire power to pull it off.

Of course, now that we're in the calm-after-the-last-storm-but-before-the-next-one-that's-gonna-suck-even-more, there's not much to do but sit and reflect. Y'know, on how we're trapped in another world, and everyone back home either thinks we're dead or missing or worse. I mean, me being here just proves everyone right about me – that I can't see anything through, blah blah, failure – and I've even let Babs down.

Not that I'm looking for free therapy or anything. I just want everyone to know that I hate the downtime as much as the almost-eaten-by-Eldritch-horrors time.

Have I given you any reason to not believe me, ma petite? It is not so strange a concept, is it? Humans have personified far more abstract concepts than us.

I guess not! And hey, my best friend's an alien. I shouldn't really judge.

Kinda leaves me wondering how old you actually are though, but it'd be totally rude to ask.

[sororite]

A lady never tells her real age, oui. [The answer is really, really old, Stephanie.] But I am still a spry, young maiden, don't worry!

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't dare to think otherwise.

Oh, who'd you end up picking for your Valentine's date, by the way? Not knowing's been keeping me up at night.

I ended up with a few offers... One madame I knew already, one lovely young girl whose skin was a peculiar shade of green... I ended up with Angleterre for a time too, in order to stop her from crying...

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Green, huh? Good to know you don't discriminate. [ ] You didn't make her cry, did you?

[sororite]

She made herself cry. She's a very sensitive girl.

[ ] ... it was the singing thing, wasn't it?

[sororite]

Mm. She was just embarrassed, that's all. [That's not all, but France isn't going to go into detail on all of England's many issues.]

That was a shockingly strange day. I think all the flowery rampage made me forget just how weird it was.

You think the Queen put something in the water?

[sororite]

I have a feeling it was our little rose buds, actually. They gave off the sweetest fragrance...
