seelie; video; why this

[Oh, look, it's Dorian Gray! Everyone remembers Dorian Gray, right? Sweet kid, a little naive, recently got scolded at the royal audience? Well, today you wouldn't believe it, not from how very self-possessed he looks, how pleased, how utterly brazen.

One might think that someone who just got publicly called out and punished might feel more need to keep their head down and be discrete, but apparently not. Every actor needs an audience, and this actor, at least, seems to be particularly committed to enjoy the show he's putting on. Feline in recline, he speaks as one who savours language, gesturing in smooth, languid movements. He is the 1890s Aesthete come to life, in all its hedonistic glory, and he is here to share.]


How dreary we all are getting. It's the fin de siècle all over again, but with far less Oscar. Or Yeats, for that matter. [Suitably, mockingly dramatic:] "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, / Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"

[And here's a scoff.] I'm not feeling it. We are meant to be the court of tradition, of love, of welcoming the apocalypse. And yet I haven't seen even one orgy in my time at Caer Glaem. Frankly, I'm unimpressed.

[The headshake turns back into that canary-eating smile, and he purrs out his proposal for fixing this shameful problem.]

So tonight, at the sun's setting, I'll be holding a, ah, ritual in the Magi's Workroom. Wine from Mandragora Estates—top of the line, for those tragically ignorant of the most up-and-coming vinery in the Drabwurld—and various other substances. Children not invited.

It's a protection ritual, for the record. It would be so very unsuitable to be decadently useless in our embrace of the End. Try to bring yourself as magically charged as you can.

[ooc: THERE WILL BE NO LOG FOR THIS I am not going to put up an actual orgy log dear god. But this a thing Dorian will really be doing, any character can come as long as they're over the age of consent. Wine, drugs, and sex, all night. Technically, it really is an actual magical ritual.]
aureinsof: ([r] just mere appearances to see)

All right, all right, all right--!!

[And something in him shifts and changes and a moment later the shrieks aren't so high-pitched but his voice is still higher than it should be for him.]

Enough already! Don't bring Marta into this with that guy!
aureinsof: ([r] oh yes)

Argh! I regret interrupting but I have to hear it no matter if that kid is out or not!

[Aster doesn't even know what to say to make him stop. What will make Dorian stop?]

A-Anyway what you're talking about involves a lot of people!
aureinsof: ([e] there she goes again)

[personal profile] aureinsof 2015-05-07 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Then don't talk about Marta being in one!
aureinsof: ([r] what's important is)

There's always a way around stupid rules like that and you'd be the one to find'em!
aureinsof: ([e] don't you ever give up trying)

[personal profile] aureinsof 2015-05-07 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
Aurgh!!! [Wait no why is he suffering this alone?]

Say that again!

[And just like that, Emil blinks, still bright red.]

Oh no are we still talking?!
aureinsof: ([r] that's not true)

[personal profile] aureinsof 2015-05-07 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Oh, I--

[He switches out again, this time leaning into the locket to glare harder.]

I wasn't running away! You know I can hear this stupid trash even if I don't want to!
aureinsof: ([r] so worship me)

[personal profile] aureinsof 2015-05-07 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
See now that's the crap I meant in the first place!
aureinsof: ([r] evil queen)

If I have to put up with it, I don't see why he doesn't. He started this whole thing. [And way to offend Aster's delicate sense of self.] What do you mean 'sweeter' half anyway?
aureinsof: ([r] but they get me squeaky clean)

video;

[personal profile] aureinsof 2015-05-07 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well of course not! I'm the main entree. Emil is like some after-dessert drink compared to me!
aureinsof: ([r] i'm just trying to make my dream)

[personal profile] aureinsof 2015-05-07 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
W-What are you laughing about?! Shut the hell up! Dorian!

Oh, so you do have a sense of shame, after all. This is very good to know, Aster!

aureinsof: ([r] i'm the queen)

[personal profile] aureinsof 2015-05-12 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
H-Hey! You're a girl, shouldn't you be angry about all this?!

Oh, I already let him have it for other reasons. We came to an understanding. [Dismissive handwave, w/e, w/e BACK TO YOU ASTER!]

I'm surprised you're getting as flustered as you are. It's actually really charming.
