voice testing a new muse

[lovenotwishes]

Mun - if that's what you really want to call yourself - I do not approve of this.

I don't have time to cater to your flights of fancy, or to go off on adventures of your choosing. I'm a little busy at the moment. I am not a pawn - not yours, not anyone else's. Nothing you could say would make me feel any more inclined to leave Wonderland on my own.

Best to save your grand ideas for a different "muse". I have a genie to find.

Shouldn't it be Aladdin? With the genie, I mean.

[lovenotwishes]

Who's Aladdin?

[rainbowgirl]

Okay, never mind. Forget about Aladdin. [A smile.] Your hair is stunning.

[lovenotwishes]

Thank you.

You know something about genies?

[rainbowgirl]

Supposedly they're blue and emit gay vibes all over the place.

[lovenotwishes]

[She laughs out loud at this.]

My Cyrus is not blue! And we will be gay again when we find each other.

[Victorian verbiage is fun!]

[rainbowgirl]

Hey, I'm only passing along what Disney told me.

[lovenotwishes]

Disney? Who is that? Is this Disney an expert on genies?

[rainbowgirl]

Remind me not to make pop culture references in the future. I'm only confusing the point.

[lovenotwishes]

No, it could be useful. I know very few people who have an interest in genies, and they only care for the power a genie has, not for the genie himself. Would this Disney know

[She lowers her voice.]

where one might find Jafar?

[rainbowgirl]

[Scarlett just looks at the other girl for a long moment. Then, she smiles. Sweetly.]

It's just a guess, but I think Disney would say in Agrabah.

[lovenotwishes]

[She shakes her head.]

If he were in Agrabah still, he could not come and go in Wonderland as easily as he does. He is somewhere closer. I'm sure of it.

[rainbowgirl]

Then, I'm sorry I can't be of help in your Jafar hunt. Agrabah was the best I had to offer.

[threetails]

But adventures are fun! And far more interesting than super serious duties or anything like that!

[lovenotwishes]

I will have all sorts of fun adventures again when I have found Cyrus. I cannot let anything keep me from finding him.

[threetails]

Who's Cyrus? Your mate?

[lovenotwishes]

[Smile.]

Something like that. We're going to get married, once I find him again.

[threetails]

What's married?

[lovenotwishes]

Married is...married. When you pledge yourself to the one you love no matter what. It's a formal ceremony to show your commitment to one another. The last time I saw Cyrus, he asked me, and I said yes.

[threetails]

[Blink. Blink blink blink]

That sounds stupidly complicated. Can't you just... dig a den together or something?

[lovenotwishes]

[She laughs.]

It does, doesn't it? Maybe we'll make our own sort of marriage ceremony when we're together again.

...dig a den?

[threetails]

A home. To sleep in and raise kits.

[lovenotwishes]

Ah. That will have to wait until I find him.

[threetails]

How long have you been looking? I mean, if he's gone a long, long time it might be better to just find a new mate.

[lovenotwishes]

Never.

[The word is snapped, and she tenses.]

I will look as long as it takes. You don't give up on true love.
