Une [Video]

[sororite]

Well, well, well, what have I found here... [France leans in close and peers at the vine.] It seems I have been abducted by some truly horrible people, non? How should I deal with such a thing?

[Taps on the mirror.] Le chaton a-t-il indiqué la vérité? Can you lovely mademoiselles hear me? Ah, someone as wonderful as moi really cannot be held for too long, I am a busy woman.

... Angleterre? This seems like something you would enjoy but if you wanted my company so badly you could have just called. Honestly.

Oh. 'kay.

And I'm the goddamn Batman.

[sororite]

... Isn't that one of Amèrique's little stories?

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Dude, I think the Dark Knight would be offended if you called him a little story. But sure, he's from Gotham.

—but that's really not the point right now!

[sororite]

[She didn't understand that. So she is going to dismiss it.] Non, it is not.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Is this a superhero thing? Do your powers embody the spirit of France?

[sororite]

[Giggles.] Superhero is a new one. Non, I am just la France. Nothing more, nothing less.

I know— I mean, I've seen on the news, this girl who flies into space like a speeding bullet, and knocks out satellites. In her spare time. Without any equipment. She just breathes in space! [ ] So there's about a 5% chance you're not making this up.

[sororite]

... I think you might be confusing cartoons with reality, mademoiselle, but I am France...

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

I thiiiink they made a cartoon of Supergirl. You know, those silly little comic strips they put in newspapers? That kinda thing.

Can you make wine and baguettes spontaneously appear? Because then I might buy it.

[sororite]

[Giggles.] Not quite, though I am a rather fantastique chef, of course.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Mais oui.

Well, is there anything out of the ordinary you can do? 'cause I'm in a place where I'd like to think I'm sane enough not to believe everything I'm told without at least a little proof.

[sororite]

Hm, well... I suppose there isn't much I can do to convince you. But it makes no difference to me whether or not you believe, mademoiselle. It's not as if you're French.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, no, I get it. You shouldn't be expected to have to prove yourself to every sceptical stranger. I mean, apart from the whole claiming to be France thingamajig, you've been charming.

The picture of perfect mental health, really!

[sororite]

Merci! Et oui, oui, humans do love to ask questions, don't you? An endearing trait, it's true, and one I heavily encourage but it gets tiring after a while...

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

I think it's more of a Stephanie-Brown-Doesn't-Know-When-To-Shut-Her-Mouth thing than a general human thing. Well, it probably is a human thing, but I just so happen to take it to extremes.

If you say you're France, then I guess you are! It's not hurting anyone, and I don't really have any room to judge. I promise I won't ask any more stupid questions. —oh, except for this one. Can I ask one more?

Also: asking if I can ask a question doesn't count as me asking that question.

[sororite]

You seem to be a rather bright girl, Mademoiselle Brown, please go ahead.

Was Joan of Arc totally awesome?

[sororite]

[...] Jeanne was a wonderful young woman, oui. Of all my children, she holds a special place in my heart.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

'kay. [ ] Cool. Thanks!

[sororite]

[Thinking about Jeanne makes her nostalgic, that's all.] De rien, mademoiselle.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

Oh— and if you ever decide to prove how awesome you are at cooking, lemme know. Living off fish and fruit is getting old, fast.

[sororite]

I am the country of love and agriculture, mademoiselle, this is my element! [lol no it's not so much time in the cities these days but let her have her dreams.] I'm sure I shall be cooking before too long, don't worry.

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

[ ] Merci, merci!

[sororite]

As I said, de rien. Ah, it will be so nice to cook for someone who is thankful for once...

[gravityfists.livejournal.com]

You say that like de rien is part of my vocabulary. You sound happy enough when you say it, but...
