Day 16

[elsalouisa]

Alix to Queen Victoria - 16 November - Anichkov Palace

"I am going to send You these lines through Lord Carrington who leaves tonight. How can I ever thank You enough for your sweet letter with good-wishes and blessings, for the lovely Presents. The pendant with Your dear portrait is too beautiful and I shall prize it very much — the lovely ring | wore for the Wedding and ever since, and when I look at it I have to think of the beloved giver. The stuffs, shawls and cape are charming and will be most useful — alas I shall long not be able to have the dresses made up. You can imagine what our feelings were at the Wedding — ten years ago at Ella’s Wedding both our beloved Fathers were there — and now; poor Aunt Minnie all alone. She is an angel of kindness and is more touching and brave than I can say. Such a comfort her Father was here, so she had him to walk with. How I missed sweet Papa, is not to be said, and poor dear Nicky he felt the loss of his dear one quite terribly. But it is a comfort being married, I can be more with him and try and comfort and help him in all. He is so awfully good and dear to me, and my great love for him increases daily. We both are so intensely happy You gave him that splendid regiment and so deeply touched Your having thought of giving him that great pleasure. We have got such nice little rooms here, as ours in the Winter Palace are not finished, and we did not wish to leave his dear Mother directly.

Darling Ernie, Irene and Henry left last night — alas they were but too short here — but he could not leave poor little Ducky so long alone. Uncle Alfred and Aunt Marie start tonight. I shall send You some of the myrtle and orange blossom I wore at the Wedding, and a bit of the dress as soon as I can.

The weather is most unpleasant, quite dark and a sort of rain.It was really most kind of the Munshi sending those pretty stuffs.

Please forgive a short letter, as we have still any amount of telegrams to answer, and then perpetually Nicky has to be seeing people. I received such lovely presents, and I must describe them to You in my next letter.

Thanking You again for all the kindness you expressed in Your dear letter, and for the presents, I remain, Beloved Grandmama dear, Your ever deeply devoted and dutiful, loving Child, Alix.

We were immensely touched that You gave a Dinner the day of our Wedding".

i love Lacho asks and everyone's different feelings/opinions on them! that being said, how would you feel about a lacho personality/outfit swap au?

Omg YES those are always SO FUN

Let's focus on the outfits first Listen I just love it. It has a lot of potential. Lalo only wearing black and red??? Yes PLEASE. But it also mean bye bye loafers Lalo you're only wearing pointy boots or sneakers now. Lalo in converses omg. Lalo in Nacho's black sweater OMG ! I need a minute here. And the leather jacket. yes.

Also he would rock those gold chains! The leather bracelets and riiiiing oh my.. Men wearing rings is just always a yes. And oh boy the snake earring... With his curly hair.... Someone hold me down I'm going feral (here is an unnecessary high quality pic of 💖 Nacho's hands 💖 to illustrate)

I tried to find a pic of tony wearing red shirt but it doesn't exist??? Except his Lalo outfit with the flowery pattern, I mean, it's too Lalo coded to be used as an exemple of him in Nacho's outfit. There is just one pic of him wearing a red t-shirt (told you red is perfect for him, wished he would show up somewhere with a black and red suit like in Sir Avila, or even with a red dress shirt under the black costume, because damn) and I edited a pic because photoshop gives me that power

!!! BUT !!! While looking for pics, I just realized something. The red shirt (kind of) he wears in the scene he's doing loops at the race tracks is, to me, a look a like in style to the shirt Nacho is wearing the very first time we see him in the series. I mean the blotchy/stains looking pattern makes me link these two shirt. That would be the closest we get to actually see Lalo in an outfit that looks like Nacho's

Now, Nacho with the fanciest shirts yes yes yes also the nice pants YES YES YES and the shoes letting his ankles visible yes yES Y E S (god I feel like a dude from middle ages here)

Here (left) Lalo's shoes in Magic Man (s5E01) where he's wearing the splendid yellow shirt/deep blue pants. On the right, Michael wearing the same kind of shoes. He would do just fine I'm telling you.

It also means he would be wearing COWBOY BOOTS and that's something important. True weapon here. Him in blue loafers is hilarious tho, if they don't swap the personality but only the outfits this is just so out of character I would need to find a reason why he would wear these ones. Maybe his papa gifted them to him and he feels like he has to wear them, or maybe Nacho would be that wild little thing when it came to buying clothes, it would be how his extravagant side expressed itself. But Nacho would look totally credible with other colors than red and black! The series shows us he looks really good in light colors (like we seen higher)

But! Michael offers us the chance to picture Nacho wearing shirts with more patterns that to me could fit in this AU (look, with his pendant in the second pic, Lalo core)

And he's even wearing yellow with dark blue shorts! Maybe he would look good in that Lalo outfit?

Okay enough digressions about outfits (I love clothes, sorry) let's speak about the Personality

First thing coming to my mind : the first time they meet.

Okay so I have two visions for this, depending on how much we move the cursor on the personality, what "personality" includes or not. Does it swap their habits/abilities too or not.

1) No swap of habits/abilities. Nacho arrives at El Mich', smiling of course, and when he notices Mingo and the owner sitting with a stranger busy in the kitchen, he first stares at Mingo, but we can tell the affinity he has with him is even less good than in the canon version. I mean Nacho is now someone much more cold blooded here, and does Lalo have any real friends sticking at his side? no. Here Nacho is a terrible friend, a terrible dude, manipulating and mocking a lot of things, with no real consideration for people around him except his father. I'm not even sure Lalo's personality would allow a friend like Mingo to happen, but I don't want Mingo to not be in this either so they somehow make it work. So Nacho goes to the kitchen, and on the opposite of how we seen him in canon, he's much more relaxed, his arms are rarely crossed too, and just like Lalo would when he has to be intimidating, he would just stand with his arms by his side. Unlike the canon, Lalo would spot his arrival immediately, because now he's a very attentive man, he doesn't get distracted -or pretend to be- by cooking. Still, he wouldn't be the first one to talk, it would be Nacho, who would put a big smile on his face and maybe go "Hey there! You're the new cook?" and Lalo would be like "No. I'm here to replace my tio." because now he goes to the point. "Your tio? You mean Hector? What happened to him is so sad, I'm sorry. So you're a Salamanca too then?" "Yes" "Awesome! You know Tuco told me a lot about you, that you have a good head for numbers." because yeah, in this AU Nacho would be much more chatty and friendly with everyone, so he would know things about the Salamanca family members after all that time spent with them, he gets to know things about the members he never met before. Lalo would send him looks like he's not buying the friendly attitude at all, "And you are Ignacio Varga." "That's me. I've been told you were smart, and here you are, and you are!" "Great. Get to work." "Ooh bossy! Your tio taught you well, eh?" And Nacho would make his way back to the table, and Lalo would stare at him through the opening in the wall, trying to mentally explode him.

2) Kind of the same exchange EXCEPT there is a swap of habits/abilities, and now Nacho is the one cooking when Lalo arrives, and he's all singing and super busy in the kitchen and Lalo just wonders where the fuck did he just put a foot into, already regretting he left his hacienda to find himself dealing with such a loud guy.

Or maybe Nacho is still the last one to arrive at El Mich', and when he enters Lalo is sitting at one of the table, waiting silently after he met with the owner and Mingo, already getting info about how things are run in Albuquerque. Then Nacho arrives, says something like "It's so quiet in there, who's dead?" and they just all stare at him, Mingo a bit mortified, Lalo very much not amused and instantly feeling annoyed with Nacho. His tio almost died, this guy thinks he's being funny? Nacho wouldn't linger, he would act completely obvious of his joke and still be very friendly with Lalo "I'm Ignacio, but you can call me Nacho." and then he would tell the owner "You're not feeling well today? No prob I can help!" and he's gone to the kitchen in a flash to start the stove and blast music far too loudly and Lalo would rub at his temples while Mingo sends him a sorry and a bit scared look. Lalo has been nothing but very professional since he arrived, all very serious, and he's a bit scared for his friend Nacho. How will Lalo handle his personality?

Lalo knows he'll have to spend a lot of time with Nacho, but he'll do everything he can to avoid that. At first he would still ask Nacho to drive him through the city, he still have a job to do and he does it well. So they visit the different places and all.

Nacho invites him to a lot of poker nights with the guys, it happens very often, and Lalo refuses multiple times before finally accepting one day.

At some point Nacho calls him Lalito and Lalo never frowned this hard in his entire life ever before. He tells him to not call him that, but Nacho just laughs and keep on calling him Lalito. Lalo corrects him multiple times until he somehow gets used to it and stops trying to make that change.

And Nacho is very loud, unnerving, but Lalo has to admit the man is really good at his job. And that gets his respect.

I think I could keep on writing about this AU, but this is already a stupidly VERY long answer. Anyway, I hope this all make sense! Thank you for this ask, it's a very super fun one! A LOT of things to think about 💖

[Listen to the Whispers of the Leaves] - Rustica SR Card Story Translation

Ft. Oz (Akira in card episode, Arthur and Chloe mention)

A Present From You - Chapter 1

[Mining Town Gift Store]

Oz: …

[Door Opens]

Shopkeep: Welcome in.

Rustica: Why hello. What a lovely little shop you have.

Rustica: Oh? Is that you, Lord Oz? Good afternoon. Are you looking for something?

Oz: …I have found a rabbit.

Rustica: A rabbit, you say? …Ah, has that necklace caught your fancy?

Rustica: The pendant’s craftsmanship is impeccable. It looks like it could hop away at any moment. Are you planning to give it to someone?

Oz: …I was merely looking. It’s not like I was asked to bring back a souvenir.

Rustica: Well, asked or not, I don't see why you couldn't do it anyways.

Rustica: If you’d like to gift something, then you should. That’s plenty of reason to do so I’d say.

Oz: …Is that so?

Rustica: Why of course! Ah, I know. Why don’t I give you something? That way, you’ll be able to see what it’s like to be on the receiving end of things.

Rustica: Then, I’d like you to give me something.

Oz: What do you mean?

Rustica: Consider it a little practice before you present Prince Arthur with his gift.

Oz: …I did not say anything about Arthur…

Rustica: Ah, but anyone could guess from the look on your face.

Rustica: Not to mention, I am also curious to know what you’d choose for me.

Oz: …Did you want a present?

Rustica: Very much so! Simply thinking about receiving one from you makes me want to sing.

Oz: …Fine. I’ll play along.

Rustica: Thank you very much! Shall we begin then?

A Present From You - Chapter 2

Rustica: What do you think of this bracelet, Lord Oz?

Rustica: Although these earrings would look lovely on you as well.

[Rustling Metal]

Oz: I suppose. For you…

Rustica: Oh, I can hardly wait.

Oz: …This brooch.

[Rustling Metal]

Rustica: My, my, both the silverwork and gold accents are top class! Thank you very much.

Rustica: What next… Oh?

Oz: …Are you interested in that blue bird ornament?

Rustica: Yes, the azure hue resembles my eyes, does it not? Ah, that gives me an idea…

Rustica: Sir shopkeep. Is there a version of this in red?

Shopkeep: Indeed there is. Let me find it for you.

Rustica: Haha, now we can match with the color of our eyes.

Oz: Why does that matter?

Rustica: Because it makes me happy. It’s a mark that the two of us—you and I—were here after all.

Rustica: I might not have a grand reason for giving you this… but isn’t the desire to spread joy enough?

Oz: …

Shopkeep: Here’s the red one for you.

Oz: …Shopkeep, I’ll take the rabbit necklace as well.

Oz: As a present.

Rustica: …! Oh, what a wonderful gift! I’m sure Prince Arthur will love it!

Oz: Mm. I must thank you…

Rustica: Now all that’s left is finding gifts for each other!

Oz: …? I thought this was just practice…

Rustica: What do you think of this hair accessory? I think it’d look splendid on you.

Oz: …

Oz: …Then this is for you…

Rustica: Oh, how lovely! Thank you very much.

Rustica: There’s no fun like gift-giving! Shall we keep going, Lord Oz?

Mini Fashion Show - Card Episode

[Akira’s Room]

Rustica: Good afternoon, Master Sage. Is this a good time?

Akira: Rustica! Did you need something?

Rustica: Chloe and I were thinking of holding a fashion show in the hall soon with the accessories I acquired from the mining town.

Rustica: Lord Oz and Prince Arthur will also be making an appearance.

Akira: Really? That sounds like fun!

Akira: Now that you mention it, I do remember you and Oz bringing home a ton of gifts from our trip.

Akira: Were you planning to show them off here?

Rustica: That’s precisely it, Master Sage.

Rustica: I came by to invite you to the show, but would you also like to participate in it?

Akira: Huh? Me?

Rustica: Yes, indeed. Actually, I’d purchased a couple of pieces I thought would look marvelous on you.

Rustica: As a result, I think you would fit perfectly within our show.

Akira: You make a compelling case… However, are you certain I’ll make a good model? I’m not sure I can do your accessories justice.

Rustica: Why, of course you will! You’ll look absolutely stunning, I’m sure of it.

Rustica: No matter what you say, I have faith in your abilities.

Home Screen Voice Line

“You’d like for me to teach you proper dining etiquette? …Well first things first, you must gently lift your silverware as if inviting them to dance. These are your precious partners upon the tabletop stage. Isn’t it less stressful to think of them that way?”

[edrurysz]

╰ ☾ ₊  ⸻ @numiolaes ⧽ㅤuttered ❛  ❝ Silver for the silver of your hair. ❞

❛ 𝐎𝐇, 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈𝐓 gleams. What a splendid thing," her tone softens with wonder. The beginnings of a smile round her thin lips. She studies the gift with open curiosity, stroking a tender finger across it as if afraid to break it. Her girlishly pleased face is refracted back in the shell.

The likeness of a long-horned beetle sits in her open palm, miniature wings spread in flight. The length of her index finger and half the size of her closed fist, the pendant is the size and shape of the actual insect. The working is splendid enough that there are gaps between each segment of wing that she could peer through if she wished.

To those who know her best, it is common knowledge that Helaena delights in her little treasures. All manners of baubles line her dressers and walls. Marbles, statuettes of strange beasts, cups with storied engravings and preserved flowers and insect wings. Her collections hold more value in sentiment and beauty than any real worth, but from the heft of the beetle, Helaena suspects that it holds all three.

She wonders at the occasion for the gift, but there is a more pressing matter at hand to attend to first. "I must find a chain to affix it to," she mutters to herself. "So it won't have a mind to fly away."

[stingslikeabee]

Magnifico clicked his tongue thoughtfully and waved a hand. That dismissed the last of the staff members who were assisting him in the wine cellar, which was currently also serving as a sort of general storage of all of the hotel's spirits. The legendary party to ring in the New Year was only days away, and it was up to the self - named King to approve the drinks that would be offered.

After the scurrying footsteps were gone, Magnifico turned toward the last individual left with him. He smiled pleasantly for his wife. As always, she had exquisite taste ; the proposed menu, spread out before him in sparkling glasses, was exceptional. It would certainly live up to the memory of festivities past.

"You have a remarkable talent for this," Magnifico said, nodding smartly. "I'm sure our guests will very much enjoy indulging themselves on your selections."

After a moment, the manager reached out. He laid a hand gently on Melissa's rounded belly. Their first child moved beneath his palm. "I'm sorry you cannot do the same, mi vida. If only she had been a Christmas baby." Magnifico chuckled. His brilliant eyes flicked across the room, to his private stash that was never included in the official inventory.

" — but that is alright. Let her be safe in there, for a little longer. Besides, I have something special for our private celebration after she arrives. Did I ever tell you, Melissa ?? The champagne that we used to toast at our wedding . . . it was such a delicious small batch and so special afterwards that I couldn't resist. I tracked down every bottle left in the world and stashed them here, under our palace. " Magnifico drew his hand down, placed it on Melissa's hip, and sighed. Underneath the edge of his collar glittered the expensive chain that held his own mementos for their growing family.

"I'll open the next one the minute you ask."

unscripted asks . always accepting

It was remarkable how Melissa's reactions to the flattery offered in return for her job had changed over the years. As soon as the Continental traded hands, the concierge had been arrogant to the point of rudeness - of course she was splendid; the place would have burned down if she stepped away for five minutes considering the inexperienced management.

But now, after marrying the same man she once called 'impossible' and 'the bane of her existence'? The woman smiled pleasantly, and basked in the warm, soothing feeling of being appreciated. It was true that making the right selection of wine for such an important night and considering the menu to be offered was something Melissa took pride in, but even more so with Magnifico's approval.

At his following words and affectionate touch, the concierge smiled and joined him - palm over palm, both calmly experiencing the joy of new life in a world surrounded by so much death. A conscious choice to create a legacy and one that Melissa would fight like something feral to protect - but no longer alone. The manager's joke about the slightly delayed birth date was shared by his wife; but the revelation of just what type of bottles had filled his private storage area left the brunette speechless.

"Nicolás..." the true name of the man escaped under murmured breath, eyes scintillating under the subdued light of the cellar with a mixture of wonder and incredulity which eventually combined into fond resignation. But of course he had done it - it was just his style. Money meant nothing to someone in possession not only of a coin press but fortune like his; sourcing every bottle of that particular Dom Pérignon vintage should have been just another menial job for his exquisite tastes.

Melissa's right hand moved up, finding Magnifico's face and brushing a thumb over his cheek fondly; it dropped to the neck then, followed by the honeyed gaze of a content mother and wife, anxious and happy whenever she looked at his growing collection of pendants for his most precious treasures. Not gold in a vault, not this time - but the three of them and the future children they had talked about, if all went well.

A fitting legacy for a king and his queen.

"I cannot wait until the doctors clear me for that toast, my darling. Our wedding night was one of the best of my life - I would never refuse another sip of that champagne," the woman chuckled, moving in closer to press a kiss to his lips and enlace him around the neck. But, unlike their own special day when vows were exchanged, the embrace was much less intense in light of the daughter to-be-born in-between their bodies.

"You are impossible, my love," Melissa chuckled at long last, still reeling from his confession about the flamboyant gesture in selfishly keeping all that champagne for themselves. She would have thought him silly and insecure for it before - but now?

"And I adore you for it."

Melissa would kill (and die) for him.

What Are My Decisions in Ceiling Lights?

The ceiling lights in our homes are ostensibly the most significant ones, as they are typically utilized the most oftentimes and act as the best light source in a room. However, the assortment of lighting apparatuses for ceilings seems to be limitless. These pieces are accessible in a wide range of shapes, varieties and sizes, in this click here to learn more way furnishing you with a variety of options.

A sufficiently bright room or space will have a satisfying and compelling mix of each type. For instance, kitchen lighting frequently requires different degrees of enlightenment. You'll require splendid lighting so you can see obviously while cooking.

You can utilize directional mounted light to light up your counter and oven area, and a contemporary smaller than usual crystal fixture on a dimmer for the seating area.

The type of light fixture you pick should mirror the style of the furniture and not stick out in contrast to everything else in a room. Pick a size and style that supplements the decor.

your bruising headcanons were excellent

may i humbly request smutty headcanons too 🥺

Hi anon, thank you so much! I had a lot of fun writing them :3

Ofc you can request smutty hcs!!!

AU where Lamp was born from a mining-based economy :)

Queen

The Kingdom was built on its mines, literally and figuratively. Everyone knows of the wonders that lie beneath. Diamonds, rubies, sapphires beyond compare. As a child, (the small and future) Queen learns the smooth, cool touch of her mother’s opals long before she learns of the labour that bore them. Her teenage years are a string of suitors, each offering ever more splendid prizes. Aquamarines, from the riverland depositories. Jade from the sea-shelf, tourmaline from the mountains.

All would win her favour with jewels. None would tell her the truth of their harvest.

But the Queen has eyes, and in time she has power. Sense to see the back-breaking labour, sanity to put an end to it. She tours the shafts. Trails her fingertips along the walls until they come away black with smut. She meets the workers, listens to their stories, hears their coughs as dust rattles through their lungs.

The mines are shuttered. Past centuries bought forth enough jewels to last lifetimes. Let her people emerge from the dark and breathe in the light. Let their gemstones fill museums, not vaults. Let them trade, and smith, and work the stones for pleasure, not survival.

She styles herself to set a precedent. The court’s halls are hung with portraits of Ancestors who could hardly stand beneath the weight of their ceremonial jewels. For herself, she selects a single, simple piece. A pendant with a malachite stone, that reminds her of her mother’s eyes.

“Beautiful,” a husky voice murmurs one morn. Bold fingers brush the pendant, and the Queen gazes up into unfamiliar eyes. ‘Beautiful’, the word echoes in her mind, then ‘yes, oh yes you are.’

Priestess

Tess can barely remember a time before the Sound. Logically - when her mind is settled enough for reason - she knows it wasn’t always there. She wasn’t born with the ringing in her ears. Didn’t grow with the reverberation of it pulsing through her her veins. Didn’t stumble into adulthood with the deafening urgency pulling her towards it, every moment of every day.

So. There must have been a beginning, but that moment is as lost to the surface as she is.

It was a relief, the first time she realised that the sound grew louder in proximity to the mine shafts. Because if it has a source, then there must be a Reason, and if she can understand the reason, then perhaps the ceaseless, endless, terrible noise might finally abate.

She packs little for her journey. Perhaps part of her senses that supplies will be of little use below the surface. Perhaps part of her knows that she won’t be coming back.

She hesitates, just for a moment, on the precipice. One foot inside, palm coated with soot as she presses it to the stone wall and feels the sound echoing from below.

All she truly knows is that every step, every turn, every descent, takes her closer to the source of the Sound, and she cannot, will not, must not rest until she finds it.

Guard

He refuses to be bested by a common jewel thief.

The mines are perilous, have been shuttered for centuries, but the allure of the gems within remains.

Guard has worked many roles within the Citadel. He began as a boy, guarding stalls in the central market. From there, he graduated to the docks, proved himself protecting the fisherfolk and their catch. His time at the Temple was a promotion in name, but he found that he missed the sea breeze, the creak of wood, the lap of waves. Patrolling the corridors, he learned not to ask questions, not to look anyone directly in the eye. And then… the Incident, and now – the mines.

The role is a punishment, he knows that. A lesson in guarding his tongue more than guarding the deep, cavernous passages. Only madmen would attempt to break and enter here. Madmen – and a jewel thief.

For weeks he catches only the faintest glimpses. A shadow on the wall. The twitch of a cloak. A flash of blonde at the end of a corridor, gone in a blink. He might even doubt himself, if she didn’t want him to know she was there.

At first it’s just snatches of laughter, ringing out from the end of a corridor.

As he comes to learn her favoured routes, he finds symbols crudely hewn into the stone. Trailmarkers, obviously intended to throw him off the scent. This arrow leads to a channel so narrow as to be impassable, that one to a gap only a child could squeeze through.

She’s taunting him, teasing him, and the longer it lasts, the more determined he becomes to catch her.

He sets traps, lies in wait. Follows the routes she’s prone to taking, maps the antechambers he thinks she’s searching for. Here, where the last trove of diamonds was mined. Or there, where emeralds were as plentiful as pebbles.

Once, he follows her so deep for so long that he turns around on himself. Looks up to find the paths unfamiliar, no sign of his markers to guide him. An hour passes, then another. He tries first this fork in the path, then a tunnel that leads towards a distant hum. The longer he walks, the darker it becomes. He feels the first lick of fear long before his lamp dies. He sits, then. Feels the cold of the walls seep into his skin as he tries in vain to recall his steps.

Just as panic is beginning to set in truly, a flicker of light.

A full passage away, but closer than he’s ever seen her. Blonde, yes, and smaller than he’d thought, but the dim candlelight casts a shadow that rises to the ceiling – that almost touches him as she crooks a beckoning finger.

Her cheeks are grimed with soot and her grin is all at his expense, but for a moment’s blessed relief, Guard allows himself to be bested by the jewel thief and guided back to daylight.

Teller

Teller grew up on stories of the mines, but has never set foot in one until Jul disappears.

Oh, it’s not so dramatic as all that. No sudden Vanishing, here one moment and gone the next. When she’s deep on an exploration, he can go weeks without seeing her – months, if he should travel while she’s underground.

But as summer ebbs into autumn without a glimpse, the browning of the leaves brings a sense of… unease.

It’s silly, he knows, to think that he could stroll straight out of the Temple, shimmy down the nearest shaft and find her in an afternoon. But still. He can try.

He doesn’t go unprepared. Magister would give him men, he knows, and all the supplies he could need. But first he would need to Ask, and then he would need to Explain, and neither of those are conducive to actually Doing. And so, just this once, he takes a leaf out of Jul’s book and Takes.

The map book Magister keeps in his quarters is beautifully illustrated. Teller has watched him pore over it for hours, always cleansing his hands reverently before turning its pages. The whole Citadel is here – its streets and tunnels, above ground and below. The mines will have changed shape over the centuries, he knows, altered by cave-ins and erosions and neglect. But he has a start.

The map helps for far longer than he might have expected. It charts a true course, leads him through narrow, winding tunnels that must surely pass well beyond the boundaries of the Citadel.

His guilt grows as his coal-black fingers incriminate themselves upon the pristine pages. And so he looks, learns, and stows it away. He's sure that he remains on course, certain that his recollection is true, even as he enters an unmarked ante-chamber. A vaulted ceiling that has no right to be here. A shaft of light, impossible at these depths. And a distant sound that might be running water, but sounds like no stream Teller has ever crossed.

Most curiously, most temptingly, most bafflingly of all… at the center of the room, a pedestal. Hewn from marble of a shining cream, topped by a plush red pillow of the softest silk. And there, in the center... incongruous, illogical, but oh so very real... a pristine brass oil lamp, just begging to be touched.

@georgesofyork

The Parisian climate had been benevolent to its English occupants, a conclave whose bloodline was, nevertheless, gritted to bear frigid, dripping climes; barren chills that penetrated the costliest of sable, whipped and roped at the vein-mapped countenance. The King’s dark-tressed curls brandished rust in the white-flaring sun; the balmy taste of optimism, like ripened apricot, dethawing on the lips. In the mirth and revelry of the day, the chime of laughter and of the tolling bells of Saint-Denis, in the company of crowns and bishops’ mantles, Henry derived no small iota of pleasure; indeed, the piquancy of summer had always boded well with the King. It was, after all, to the marshy, sunburned battlefield, and the bloated, impassable rivers of June, that he owed the victorious attainment of his holy crown – winter had served only misery, meted out only death and malady.

Henry’s movements were fluid, genial, as he glided across the warmed courtyard; the strides of a soldier, of Caesar stepping across the Rubicon, and no shrewd, miserly sovereign, ruling stubbornly, compactly, from a kingdom on the remotest fringes of the world; more populace in boars than noblemen. Henry was all ease, crinkled eyes, boisterous laughter. In splendid velvets, and in buoyant spirits, no one would dare presume that England was a realm that lay on the brink of anarchy. Nor, however, did circumstances allow Henry to forget this woebegone fact. Emerging from between a column of rippling pendants, the swaggering figure of George of York was as sobering as a spear’s tip, sliding at the throat. Hardly as insidious as their lord father, in whom the King possessed but little faith, Henry watched the Neville scions closely. It was in George, however, that he kindled the warmest of sentiments; Henry saw in him the babe he’d cradled in his arms, those liquid eyes, powdery scent, brought to a basin hung with gold-brocade and christened into the true faith, before all of England – shoving roots into a bond that would prove ineradicable. Though chiefly the boy’s sovereign lord, who asserted his authority energetically, the King would concede there was a deeper kinship that ran between a godfather and his godson, than a man in vicarious desire of a son; one that the discord sewn between dynasties could not supplant. And soon, very soon, they would be conjoined in all but blood.

Henry extended a hand, flashing with the heirloom he wore on his pinky, gesturing for the boy, grown into the strapping figure of a man, to draw nearer. ‘My lord York. As I accept you as my natural son, I ask you to allow me the honour of addressing you by your name. Little would bring the Queen’s highness, and myself, more pleasure than for our family to be the merriest in England.’

Takt op. Intermezzo

06. | ある少女の日記

translated title: Diary of a Girl

original link: Takt op. Destiny special intermezzo

Next : (7) Regular Communication

——————————————————————

Day 1

A new day has begun. What will this world do for me? I remembered the words of a film my mom used to secretly show me. An old film about a girl with the same name as me.

Today I was called Cosette Schneider. I suddenly have two older sisters. But it's just me and Anna for a while. Everyone else has to go back to New York for work. I thought it would be easier to have just the two of us, because I would be surprised if there were four more people in the family at once, but it wasn't like that. I guess I was nervous. I couldn't eat the food Anna had cooked for me.

I said I was sorry, and Anna served me a tarte tatin. It smelled nostalgic and I found myself eating the whole thing. It was very, very tasty. When I told her that, she smiled and said she would make it again. I was happy.

I think Anna is also worried about suddenly having to live with me. But she was still smiling happily, so I was relieved. I'm still a little embarrassed, but I think I'll call her "big sister" tomorrow.

Day 2

Anxiety. Very anxious. He's making me very, very anxious.

Big Sister Anna also looks after her childhood friend who lives nearby, she's very nice. So I went along to help her. She told me that he was a cheeky one, even though he was younger than her.

First of all, there was a piano in the house. A grand piano. It was amazing.

And by the piano, there was something. I think it was probably a person, but it was a bit weird. I think it must be a ghost playing the piano or something. It didn't matter if I was cleaning or doing something else nearby, it just kept playing the piano.

That very unfriendly person is called Takt Asahina. I feel very anxious and very concerned. When I watch him, the anxiety I was feeling becomes irrelevant.

...Come to think of it, isn't music banned in the USA?

Day 3

Amazing. Astounding. Splendid, it's weird, yet so amazing.

You're weird, Takt Asahina. He's older than me, but he doesn't have the same life skills as me, so from today onwards I'm going to call him "you". What's amazing is that he really can't do anything except play the piano. He doesn't cook or clean. He manages to bathe and use the toilet by himself, but that's it. That's amazing. I wonder how he has lived his whole life.

I don't know, but... Still, only the piano is amazing. Takt's piano is amazing. I wonder. What is it? Is it better to say "risking your life"? It resonates deep into my chest, and th heat is transmitted. I feel a shudder from the core of my body. It's amazing.

It's amazing. Music is amazing, isn't it?

Come to think of it, I think the pendant I got from my mom was glowing after I heard Takt play the piano. Does it mean that she was also happy? If so, I'm happy.

Bye-bye, me so far.

Best regards, me from now on.

Come! let us argue the question. I am a newcomer among you, but I will confess that you amaze me. Where do we stand? Who are we? Who are you? Who am I? Let us come to an explanation about the Emperor. I hear you say Buonaparte, accenting the u like the Royalists. I warn you that my grandfather does better still; he says Buonaparté’. I thought you were young men. Where, then, is your enthusiasm? And what are you doing with it? Whom do you admire, if you do not admire the Emperor? And what more do you want? If you will have none of that great man, what great men would you like? He had everything. He was complete. He had in his brain the sum of human faculties. He made codes like Justinian, he dictated like Cæsar, his conversation was mingled with the lightning-flash of Pascal, with the thunderclap of Tacitus, he made history and he wrote it, his bulletins are Iliads, he combined the cipher of Newton with the metaphor of Mahomet, he left behind him in the East words as great as the pyramids, at Tilsit he taught Emperors majesty, at the Academy of Sciences he replied to Laplace, in the Council of State he held his own against Merlin, he gave a soul to the geometry of the first, and to the chicanery of the last, he was a legist with the attorneys and sidereal with the astronomers; like Cromwell blowing out one of two candles, he went to the Temple to bargain for a curtain tassel; he saw everything; he knew everything; which did not prevent him from laughing good-naturedly beside the cradle of his little child; and all at once, frightened Europe lent an ear, armies put themselves in motion, parks of artillery rumbled, pontoons stretched over the rivers, clouds of cavalry galloped in the storm, cries, trumpets, a trembling of thrones in every direction, the frontiers of kingdoms oscillated on the map, the sound of a superhuman sword was heard, as it was drawn from its sheath; they beheld him, him, rise erect on the horizon with a blazing brand in his hand, and a glow in his eyes, unfolding amid the thunder, his two wings, the grand army and the old guard, and he was archangel of war!

Let us be just, my friends! What a splendid destiny for a nation to be the Empire of such an Emperor, when that nation is France and when it adds its own genius to the genius of that man! To appear and to reign, to march and to triumph, to have for halting-places all capitals, to take his grenadiers and to make kings of them, to decree the falls of dynasties, and to transfigure Europe at the pace of a charge; to make you feel that when you threaten you lay your hand on the hilt of the sword of God; to follow in a single man, Hannibal, Cæsar, Charlemagne; to be the people of some one who mingles with your dawns the startling announcement of a battle won, to have the cannon of the Invalides to rouse you in the morning, to hurl into abysses of light prodigious words which flame forever, Marengo, Arcola, Austerlitz, Jena, Wagram! To cause constellations of victories to flash forth at each instant from the zenith of the centuries, to make the French Empire a pendant to the Roman Empire, to be the great nation and to give birth to the grand army, to make its legions fly forth over all the earth, as a mountain sends out its eagles on all sides to conquer, to dominate, to strike with lightning, to be in Europe a sort of nation gilded through glory, to sound athwart the centuries a trumpet-blast of Titans, to conquer the world twice, by conquest and by dazzling, that is sublime; and what greater thing is there????

Actually time to settle this:

Catelyn glanced at the pendant, and watched how Sansa touched the small token with such love and effect in her eyes. Let your heart be rightly placed, Catelyn prayed, let it be that I am wrong and that your happiness will lie with Joffrey. She remembered tokens she had been given when she was younger. She had treasured all of those given to her by Brandon, even down to the small little rose he had given her before a tourney. He had then went into the Targaryen castle, he seeing dragons flying through the stone walls, one flying low and more injured in wing, a grey dragon with yellow colouring, called Sunfyre. She had been so young, closer to Arya’s age than Sansa’s. Petyr had often tried to give her trinkets and tokens of affection as well, and though she had accepted them, like dark auburn eyeliner for her hair and a silver disc album of romantic songs she enjoyed listening to while eating, they had also been in the spirit of a sister accepting a gift from a brother. Petyr was always too lowborn to ever be a viable suitor, but his birth would not have mattered to Catelyn; she saw him as a brother of friendship and no more. He was kind and she enjoyed his company, yet even with his pale sullen nature to her peers, they wondering why she would talk to him. They had a history together, he a boy of the Fingers. She knew he liked her, and they spent a splendid time in the gardens, in her home of Riverrun. “Your Father and Robb?” Catelyn repeated, “He was delighted to see him when he returned, though he had already grown quite a bit…it didn’t seem so long an absence once your Father had returned. It was frightening having my first child alone, and it was easier once he was beside me once more, it’s true, but I never felt alone once Robb was born” And if not for Robb in her arms, she was not sure how she would have reacted to the presentation of Jon Snow. Ned’s insistence, his regretful, mournful face may have persuaded her to allow the bastard to be raised in Winterfell, but it was Robb’s gurgling that convinced her the most. The bastard’s mother, he remembered her as Wylla, yet had not spoke of it to her, may have been the root of her husband’s infedility, the babe himself a reminder that the honourable Ned Stark had been bedding other women while she remained at Winterfell, carrying his first child and heir, worrying as she waited at the window, but he was a child without a Mother nonetheless. She would never be a true Mother to him, she knew she could never see him for anything but a reminder of betrayal, but she would not see a child suffer in the world, left to chance. He would have a place in Winterfell, but no place in her heart.

Sansa couldn’t fathom on how her lady mother could have withstood having her first birth without her husband there. That was quite cruel, the nurse not allowing her mother to speak and scream during her birth, as that would cause suffocation in the stomach region, even as the nurse said the scream to course down from her throat to the tips of her toes would encourage the baby to be pushed out with more fervour. She nodded, it did make sense how everything would have been better, after her father was with her mother once more. Sansa supposed that with someone you truly loved, you could always have faith that they’d return, and never love them any less during time spent apart from each other. Sansa hoped that this would be the same with Joffrey; she certainly loved him with all her heart, but what would happen if Joffrey had urgent matters somewhere else one day when he was King…? He led the battle of the blackwater, he so strong and brave, as he wears black battle armour with red lion crest. She smiled at her mother, wishing she had been there to support her mother during her pregnancy with Robb–but of course, that was not possible. She hadn’t even been born at that time. “That is good to hear, Mother.” Sansa smiled warmly. “I’m always there if you want to talk. Oh…and also, wasn’t that about the time Father brought Jon home…?”
