tantrum.

[rosestolilies.livejournal.com]

[ The Queen seems to be sitting in an unknown location, too dark to tell. Her face has something akin to melancholy, but perhaps more closely to anger. ]

Oh, my darlings, my darlings... [ She looks up to the mirror, disappointment settled in her eyes. ]

I had a plan, you know. Didn't you notice my hard work? That was all for you! [ Her frown deepens. ] All for you.

This month... this month is the month of devotion, of oaths to your lovers! But just how many of you have one? [ Her voice raises. ] How many times have I tried? [ Her hands grab onto something that the mirror can't catch and her fist tightens. ]

You, my darlings, you didn't understand! [ With that, she throws whatever was in her hand in rage and the mirror shuts off. The characters may notice the very stars falling out of the sky, streaking towards the Wild Places and leaving the night sky very empty indeed. ]

[The mirror shuts off, but that doesn't stop Zenobia from talking to it. She's been stuck in her room for nearly three days, unable to walk on her own due to a wildcard from the ocean. The isolation and now this... her mood's not as bright as normal...]

So... that's what you wanted. I thought it was something like that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry! I'm trying. I don't want to be alone. I want someone to be with. [She looks like she might be on the verge of tears.]

( Just staring, wine halfway to her mouth before she lowers it again, running her fingertip around the rim of the glass. The Queen's mirror might have shut down, but Jules is still talking. Anxiously? Oh, no. She's perfectly calm.

Really. )

Um.

( Oh. . . dear. )

I think that is perhaps a touch over-zealous?

( Yikes.

Excuse her, she's going to drink some more wine. This doesn't bode well. )

Not all of us are the committing type, madame. You cannot force love.

[Sighs. Not that the queen is going to listen to her, after all, no one ever does.]

[neutralityloli.livejournal.com]

...I, I'm very sorry- but I'm still very young, you see, too young, and I haven't even considered, and my brother- [ then she remembers that the mirror shut off and stops and sighs ]

[ussher.livejournal.com]

I do not understand. I am just wanting to go home.

[It's muttered to herself more than the mirror.]

[body-horrible.livejournal.com]

Not everyone here is some kinda dyke or whatever the hell your looking for.

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

[Not all the mirrors in the world shutting off could stop Reno's mouth from running.]

Then you shoulda brought some different chicks here. Most of these girls couldn't find their own tits in a tank top.

I've got lovers and devotion and all that shit.

Also, no, I didn't notice any hard work on your part.

[urbanwonderland.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how many times you've tried, since I'm not able to form any sort of understanding of the pattern of your efforts. However, I doubt very much they are "for" anyone's benefit but your own.

Not that you can actually hear this-- or that it would matter if you could, since it's obvious that displays of your anger and your power are your preferred method of communication.

[dia-f.livejournal.com]

Bitch, please.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

... w-well, I'm not sure if we're exactly uh... lovers yet, but... I'm pretty sure I can consider her a girlfriend? I-it's not like you can expect things like this to move so fast to the lover stage...

...

... hello?

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

We figured out that was your goal, like, months ago. Did you think you were subtle?

...Hey? Come back...

[stayedwithher.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm grateful you gave me a second chance at life and all, but I'd prefer to establish my relationships with people on my own terms!

[No, Kyoko really does not care at all that she's yelling at a blank screen]

[pluckmygstring.livejournal.com]

Excuse me? It is hardly my fault that you have dragged me into this lunatic asylum of a garden and thus tore me away from him!

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

Oath to our... lovers...

BUT BUT, I'M TEN!

[howaverage.livejournal.com]

What? [ Whoop, tinyfrench is fuming at this in her quiet rage fashion, not the slamming-hands-against-tables fuming like some people may indulge in. ] Elle n'a pas honte cette femme! [ Shaking her head like she can't believe it. ] Why must she insist on this ridiculous notion that everyone here is in need or want of a relationship? [ Oh, Em, your bitter is showing. ] Even more, with another woman!

[ She's also talking to herself in the middle of the Seventh Heaven, but hey. Whatever. ]

[persical]

Then--you're the Queen?

Please listen, I--

[she's too late, the mirror is already dark.]

Lovers...?

[wingsofvirtue.livejournal.com]

Your Majesty? Please wait! I want to try to understand, so can't we please talk?

[chondriosome]

So sorry to spoil your so-called "plans", but I already have someone that I love--and you took me from that.

You can shove your devotion up your ass for all I care.

[There's really nothing Gabrielle can say, so she just calmly watches. Like she's always done.]

[bel-donna.livejournal.com]

I have someone here I'm very fond of. But, that was of my own free will and has nothing to do with you.

[tookupthesword.livejournal.com]

... Just rubbing it in, aren't you?

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

[ Sighing. So much sighing.

DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT LADY. ]

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

[She's just going to note this and not reply, it feels useless and it pokes an already irritated wound.]

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Oh not this again.

[loly-poison.livejournal.com]

Tch. There are other ways of being devoted to someone than being in love.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Your work is stupid and you're stupid!

[Yelling at a dark mirror: not effective, but somewhat satisfying.]
