re: let them all eat cake & game considerations

[maries]

 A game? Are you kidding dear mun?

What will happen to Louis? What about my clothing and my servants? Besides a game sounds boring, regardless of what it is. Unless I get to see him.

You may find, dear lady, that they rarely kid in a way that would be enjoyable for us.

[maries]

( she eyes him a bit before responding with a slightly forced smile. )

So you must have dealt with this before?

[damngod]

[Vlad has given enough forced smiles in his day (and there have been centuries of them) to recognize one when he sees it. He has no idea why it's forced or if he said something "wrong," so he opts to smile like a man faced with a beautiful woman should without seeming lascivious about it.]

I have been dealing with my mundane for almost two years at this point, yes.

[maries]

( that's just the way she is. when she doesn't find a man attractive she distances herself from them just so rumors won't go flying. )

That is a long time...I've barely met mine. How do you handle?

[damngod]

[Good thing Vlad picked England.]

Handle what, exactly? Her, or being forced into games or memes or interactions with those I would rather never see again?

[maries]

Why not both? Tell me.

( clearly she's bored. )

you wound his fee-fees

[damngod]

It is simply another change in life. Were I unable to step up to the challenge of finding methods to handle any tossed my way, I would be more angry with myself than anyone else.

It has to do with determination and a firm sense of self as well as an unbending will. In my experience, of course. Everyone will have their differences with it all.

wounding everyone's fee-fees

[maries]

( she's an immature girl. wut? )

Ah I see. I just don't want to go anywhere outside of Versailles.

wow keep your clothes on vlad doesn't want to see your body

[damngod]

[She is the Hello Kitty enthusiast of her time, perhaps?]

Versailles. The palace near Paris? I have not had the pleasure of visiting France myself. Is it as beautiful as they say it is?

see more

[maries]

( not only hello kitty but the kawaii of her era. )

It's alright.

( it could be fancier ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ )

he's seen better

[damngod]

Ah. Perhaps it is not as grand as they would lead you to believe through the written word? [Oh wait, was that around back then? Whatever, the printing press is a great thing.] I have seen many palaces back in my own lands, of course, but I have always heard it told that Versailles is nothing short of a marvel to behold.

[He will see it one day and probably agree. France, look out! (｡･｀ω´･｡)]

R U D E

[maries]

Whoever wrote that lied. You shouldn't let writers lie to you.

( catch that reference beloved bjork fan. )

he's over 400 years old, babe, he's seen the best of the best

[damngod]

It is all I have to go on, I am afraid. The palaces of my homeland are not as extravagant as the ones I hear and read of throughout other European countries. If you say otherwise, then, I shall believe you.

[vlad's wanderlust is a terrible thing, all things considered]

has he seen the kinkiest tho?

[maries]

Where are you from?

dude used to impale thousands of people on his lawn for funsies. i think he's seen it all.

[damngod]

Romania. Transylvania, to be specific, but I have lived all throughout the country. I would insist it a marvelous place on its own, but as it is all I have known, that would be very biased and quite silly.

that is hwat

[maries]

Hmm where have I heard of that....

( she thinks...maybe she was told of it when she was a child? either way she doesn't know. )

NEW!!! information leads ~scholars to think he had a harelip. the hottest ever, vlad the impaler

[damngod]

[He should be offended that his glorious and noble homeland has fallen by the wayside in whatever education this woman has received. But, as he once said, their ways were the ways of no others, and that might have a play with their diminishing in history. Who wants to read of the terrors that held his country for so long? Certainly not the faint of heart.

Certainly not a woman. They are all faint of heart. Well, except his three brides, but they are a totally different breed.]

Perhaps in a lesson on geography? We are not, unfortunately, well known as many others are. Certainly not as widely known as France or England.

oh mr. vlad you make ovaries go ka-boom

[maries]

Books are limited where I live.

( oh she received edumacashion but didn't pay any heed to it. )

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpp4dwRVm51qclt3z.gif just like that

[damngod]

That is a travesty. Granted, it is most likely that my fortune and title are what allows me to have a great deal of books, but it is saddening that any should have to go without the joy of reading.

oh my god. free no more babies operation

[maries]

Ah well I have more important things to attend to. I am busy with my husband being king and all.

( totally not flat out saying books suck. plus making babies is cool. )

HE IS A PRINCE OF THE PEOPLE (not really, he was quite horrible to a good chunk of them)

[damngod]

[Making babies...not something Vlad would ever want to do.

And, can't, considering he's the undead and the dead don't do that. Or sparkle. Or make women swoon in arousal every time they see them because they're so perfect and beautiful.]

My manners are poor; forgive me. [Tipping his hat is the gentlemanly thing to do. It's also a damn good sign that bad things are going to happen no matter what obstacles he faces.] I am Prince Vlad Dracula. It is a pleasure to meet you, dear lady.

that's still hwat

[maries]

Vlad Dracula huh? What an unusual name.

( she bows slightly. )

Well I'm Marie Antoinette.

well, gary oldman...

[damngod]

[Unusual name? Perhaps. But he won't hold her bluntness against her, and if she'll allow it, he'll be totally proper and lean down to kiss her hand. He's such a gentleman, really, it's almost unbelievable.]

An honor, truly. If your husband is a king, then you are a queen, yes? Is that not how you should be addressed?

*licks lips* I wonder what Marie's blood would taste like to him

[maries]

( well that surprised her. she blushed faintly and while she allowed it, once it ended she hid her hands after that. )

If you want to. I don't really see a point to it being here where we are talking about dealing with muns and our lives.

everyone is different bb i'd have to watch the movie again to make a ~full analysis

[damngod]

[Muns or no muns, he has to be a gentleman, doesn't he? And addressing royalty as...

Well, he is royalty, too, and he learned rather quickly that no one wanted to use that in this day and age, and that his first name was as good as any. He understands that, at least.]

Forgive my eagerness, then. I have always done my best to address and behave properly with royalty. Etiquette classes as a child, of course, were very important.

It is quite moot, however, muns and all considered; you are right.
