☠Twenty-Ninth Reel: Swearing [Written]

[redcinemareel]

[It has been a while since red script has graced everyone's journals, hasn't it? Well, the drought is over, or is it?]

From hence forth, I'm swearing off men. Except Hawtrey. We're giving him time to lick his wounds before we come after him again. While he was a worthy adversary, we still want his head.

And maybe the occasional hottie. But they'll have to go through a rigorous body check.

[She does strike out that word a few times.]

Has anyone else decided to give up something?

Is there something wrong with men?

Written;

[redcinemareel]

A handful I've met are terrible at sticking around.

[She does grumble a bit about 'stupid time tampering' under her breath.]

[seakingbait]

Oh.

[A pause.]

Did your boyfriend go home?

[His handwriting is still childish and difficult to read at times, but at least his spelling is improving.]

I have tried to give up swer kers kus saying bad words but it is very hard and I dont like it.

[They're so useful! He understands the reason why he has to practice polite speech, but that doesn't mean he has to like it.]

[Written]

[redcinemareel]

That's quite commendable! It must be difficult to use actual proper words to convey one's thoughts.

[She isn't trying to be smart. Maybe.]

[under_the_wire]

Sometimes proper words arent good enuf tho. Sometimes the rite words are "fuk off and die you fukking moron" but Im not supossed to say that anymore.

[He's thought this one over and those are still his feelings on the matter. He understands that a merchant has to be polite to customers and a king's adviser has to be diplomatic but some people are stupid as fuck and need to be informed of that.]

Give up something? Why would you want to? I don't quite understand.

written;

[redcinemareel]

Not everything is meant to be kept. When we're children, we speak a certain way, but as we grow up, we don't continue speaking like that.

written;

[wantsarobotgarden]

I wouldn't know if I still keep speaking the same way I do now. Unless you mean as a baby because then that is obvious.

[behindthefakesmile]

I'm sure not all men aren't that bad.

written;

[redcinemareel]

That's correct. Which is why I'm willing to make some exceptions.

written;

[behindthefakesmile]

That's good at least.

I'm Fai by the way. It's nice to be writing to you.

[myfayevalentine]

What you need is to take up more drinking.

*Aka, Faye's way of saying 'it'll be okay'. She's here for you, captain*

[written]

[redcinemareel]

I could use some tea. Are you making any?

[If only Arthur was able to make his 'special blend'.]

[written]

[myfayevalentine]

I was thinking of something a little...stronger.

But sure. Tea could be a start.

I had never thought myself to find an occasion to communicate with you again after your actions on Deesuko Ballia, but it seems we share a common enemy.

Should you manage to take Hawtrey's head, my inconvenient marriage to him will trouble me no longer. It would be nice to have a clean separation.

[Sarcasm? A jest? Inadvertent pun? Who knows?]

Is there any particular reason that you wish to claim his skull?

Written

[redcinemareel]

..marriage?!

[Oh my my my!]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, indeed! I have no qualms with making you a widow of him, if you're certain. I do have a problem with keeping things clean, however.

Our last altercation has left me unfulfilled, so I simply wish to finish the job.

If I come across that fool, I might consider keeping a hold of him for you.

I'd like to knock him out clean, but if you've got a better reason to rip him apart, I'd give it shot.

[redcinemareel]

Now, Ace, do I really need a reason to tear a man apart? [There is a light laugh after her question.] I'd certainly appreciate your participation, if it comes down to it.

[yatteyanyo]

I'm afraid that head is mine to take.

[voice]

[redcinemareel]

Ah~? Is that so?

Re: [voice]

[yatteyanyo]

Yes. It is a matter of honor.

[in brownish red hand writing]

Might I ask why you are giving up anything at all? Tradition or holiday? Or just simply done with men?

-CCC

[written]

[redcinemareel]

Frustration, mostly. Not entirely done, but I'm not willing to go through all this frustration again.

[written]

[cherri_cola]

Frustration is a good reason. Might be one of the best, really.
