[ irene's not sitting in her room, she's sitting in someone else's. namely, the room that once belonged to her version of sherlock holmes. on her index finger are three gold rings that she fidgets idly with while she speaks. ]

I see our very own cautionary tale has graced us with an echo. For those newly arrived, I'd say pay attention to that, and note what happens if you don't get yourself into a pod before the jump time. It leaves in quite a mess, or so I'm told.

[ there's a clink of rings as she shakes them off, letting them fall onto the side table, edging them lightly into place with her fingertips. ]

Now, having that settled, I suppose I'd ask an introduction on the part of those newly arrived. All those newly arrived. In all the chaos of your arrival, it's only polite that we all introduce ourselves. We are to be living in rather close quarters for the foreseeable future, are we not?

Even when someone spits in the face of it?

[jilt]

If someone spits in the face of it, you smile as sweetly as you can while cutting their legs out from underneath them.

[mathematically]

[ if there's a smile in lydia's voice, she's so not owning up to it. ]

There's something to be said about men being forgiving about having their legs cut out when you're pretty. [ a beat. ] Lydia.

[jilt]

Lydia.

[ irene's smiling, lbr. ]

You sound like you know something, about the merits of being lovely.

[mathematically]

[ quietly tosses this cr into the sun. ]

I know a fair amount about a lot of things.

[ welcome to the girl who read the book on the merits of being lovely front and back and also maybe sideways. ]

[jilt]

We'll have to discuss such things then. Over tea, perhaps

[mathematically]

Is that an offer?

[jilt]

An invitation.

[mathematically]

Consider your invitation accepted. We'll work out the time and day later.

[jilt]

Excellent, my dear.

...her face tho.

[mathematically]

I'll leave you to deal with everyone else then. And I'll be in touch.

[ and click goes the feed.

yay us, eppy. ]
