From what little I have observed - what little you've given me time to observe - this place seems to cater to those in those 'games' you have spoken of.

And yet, you have said you've no desire to 'play' me in one.

I have to wonder then, why I am here. I have an estate and lands to manage, and well as social obligations far beyond your limited sphere. Make yourself useful and map out my lands or house if you must be involved with me.

The roles can only be reversed, if you initiate the transaction. And make yourself useful to her.

[foxtwin]

I am giving her a story. That should be useful enough.

I am tired of being 'useful' to people.

[unreadability]

Unless you attempt to renounce your own selfishness, any relation of substance implies an inevitable element of usage.

[foxtwin]

[A long, measured look]

You remind me of my mother.

[unreadability]

[A pause.]

So long as the similarities don't extend to mine.

[foxtwin]

Not knowing your mother I can not speak to that.

[unreadability]

In which case, I shall speak for the both of us. Adding a natural limit to the comparisons.

[population_ctrl]

High demands, Mademoiselle.

[foxtwin]

I've found it best to make high demands. Forces people to live up to them.

[population_ctrl]

Really? How so?

[foxtwin]

People want to prove themselves. High expectations make that possible.

Not to say one shouldn't have a plan for if people fail.

[population_ctrl]

A proper salary usually tips the scales, I find.

[foxtwin]

I can hardly pay her.

[windandrain]

Perhaps its being taken into consideration, sending you somewhere. There are worse fates.

[foxtwin]

I am well aware there are worse fates. But I wish my fate to be my own decision.

[windandrain]

Don't we all? Have you any say on where you're going?

[foxtwin]

I do not believe there are currently thoughts in that direction at the moment. I've been told I am here to find my 'voice'

[windandrain]

Ahh, so you've come to speak. Then, tell me of yourself. You've piqued my curiosity.

[foxtwin]

There is little of interest to tell. I am a Lady of the House Yvani, guardian of the Yvani woods and surrounding lands. That is all I wish to be.

[winter_raven]

I wonder the same thing, sometimes. But it's nice to get out and meet new people every once in a while. Gives you a good sense of perspective.

Think she will make you a map? I'd love a freaking map. I still get lost on my Father's...estate.

[foxtwin]

I suppose that's true.

Probably. She says she likes making maps.

[winter_raven]

It's what my Aunt Verity says. And she's usually right. I just like the fact that I feel up to socializing with people these days. I used to be kind of a loner.

Maybe when she's done with yours, she can do one for me? Talk to mine and help her make me one? The place is huge, and way too vague.

[foxtwin]

There's nothing wrong with socialization. I quite enjoy parties and such.

Perhaps. You could always ask.

[winter_raven]

I've gotten used to them in the last few years. My Father throws some interesting parties. Better than the ones on campus.

Mine still hasn't finished editing her freaking novel. It's been sitting untouched for months now, and the ending sucks. I need a better resolution than what she's got for me.

[foxtwin]

I've always found them interesting. It's a good way to measure the Lords around me.

I fear that may end up being my fate as well.
