Hygiene issues aside, is anyone actually enjoying anything about Paris?

Comments

@BROKEBACKSTAB I would offer to trade stories on them though I'll let you decide whether you wish to answer about yours.
@BROKEBACKSTAB But you are correct, mine does reflect something about me.
@BROKEBACKSTAB How much do you know about Germanic myth?

[handsomefoil]

[ he'll try very hard not to confuse her ]

@BRUNNHILDE Not my area of expertise but
@BRUNNHILDE I do know Brunhilde was a shieldmaiden
@BRUNNHILDE And there are slight variations of her story

[heilt]

( its okay she got this )

@BROKEBACKSTAB A shieldmaiden and Valkyrie, something which I was known as.

( varying her own story. she's taking jack's advise and using valkyrie as her name, instead of mercy, coming from her valkyrie swift response suit )

[handsomefoil]

@BRUNNHILDE You were known as a Valkyrie?
@BRUNNHILDE Sounds like a story in itself
@BRUNNHILDE Aren't Valkyries known for choosing who live and die in battle?
@BRUNNHILDE If I'm taking the meaning of the word literally anyway

[heilt]

@BROKEBACKSTAB Perhaps a story better told elsewhere.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Telling our stories so publicly doesn't sound wise.

[handsomefoil]

@BRUNNHILDE Rather in person?
@BRUNNHILDE Don't blame you for not wanting to have your story out in the public eye
@BRUNNHILDE But now I'm very curious about what it is you do.

[heilt]

@BROKEBACKSTAB I wonder if you'll be disappointed when you hear it.
@BROKEBACKSTAB [ have a location for where to meet her ]
@BROKEBACKSTAB If you're curious enough.

[handsomefoil]

@BRUNNHILDE I doubt it
@BRUNNHILDE Every story is interesting in its own right
@BRUNNHILDE How will I recognize you?

[heilt]

@BROKEBACKSTAB That is a good question.

( have a little description )

@BROKEBACKSTAB Hopefully that helps.

[handsomefoil]

@BRUNNHILDE Perfect.
@BRUNNHILDE See you soon

[heilt]

( she's already there by the time that he arrives, making it (at first) look like she's looking for something rather than just waiting )

It occurs to me that I didn't get a name for you.

[handsomefoil]

[ You're a smooth operator Angie, he doesn't suspect a thing. Tipping his head a little in apology, he smiles in greeting. ]

Henry. I would've brought something to drink or something, but housewarming gifts are a bit hard to come by around here.

[heilt]

It seems a strange sort of sentiment. We're not at home.

( nor could they settle or do any similar things )

[handsomefoil]

[ yougotmethere.gif

He shrugs a little, grinning. ]

True. At least let me say it's a pleasure to meet you, Brunhilde. Though... I take it that's not your actual name.

[heilt]

It's not. ( and neither is the name that she'll give him. hope he can forgive xoxo ) But it is nice to put a name with some of the faces I've been seeing around.

( and not yet getting involved with, unless they'd ended up needing medical aid )

Shall we walk? We could see more of Paris as we talk.

[handsomefoil]

[ He would be disappointed, but not terribly surprised. He can forgive her. It's also noted how she doesn't offer any name whatsoever, but he figures she'll let him know. Involved or not. ]

We shall. [ And he bows his head a little as if letting her take the first step. As they fall into step alongside each other and take in the strangely familiar (to him)
yet not scenery, he speaks again: ] How do you feel about this mission?

[heilt]

About what we're doing?

( she turns her head momentarily from him to the streets around her, thinking on her answer )

I hope that we're right and that we don't make anything worse in the process.

( considering, she assumes, that her home is from a later period in time than this she'd hate for anything to be changed, or anyone to be lost because history was changed. she'd like to be able to return home and have it be as she knew )

No one should face a war like this.

[handsomefoil]

[ He hums in agreement; while he isn't thinking of the big picture most of the time, he probably wouldn't want to change his life too drastically. He's grown quite accustomed to his lifestyle. ]

It is quite unfortunate.

[ Understatement of the year, but wars practically shaped their world. ]

Imagine what our would would be like if we never had a single war, though. This revolution, for example.

[heilt]

It would be different to what we know.

( could they even imagine it? angela expects not. so much changed because of the revolution, and extending from that the people themselves would have been different, lead different lives )

We probably wouldn't be here.

( but, saying that, whatever they could prevent-- )

[handsomefoil]

[ The idea of disappearing completely due to whatever they did here... it's a troubling thought, but Henry also believes in loopholes and alternate universes now, thanks to this mess. He's confident he'll find some weird way around it all. ]

Perhaps. Guess that means we better work pretty damn hard on trying to keep things the way they were, hm?

[heilt]

It could be a challenge, but certainly worth our efforts.

( more than worth it. angela felt as if she didn't know enough about their circumstances to act with confidence but if they did nothing then everything would be changed )

Plus we're certainly not acting alone.

[handsomefoil]

[ He hums thoughtfully at that, eyes lowering towards the ground as he rubs his chin. ]

How reliable do you think our contractors are?

[heilt]

I'm not certain. So far what they've said has been accurate, though we haven't been there too long.

( only time would tell really )

[handsomefoil]

[ He nods in solemn agreement. While he imagined more people to be up in arms about contractors that 'accidentally' wipe memories, he also figures there's really not much they can do besides mope or do something worthwhile with their time. ]

I see, so you're part of the group that doesn't recall their recruitment? I figured there were some who joined the cause willingly and remember doing so, but they seem rare.

[heilt]

Which group are you in?

( she's curious. whilst she'd assume it was the first there honestly could be some that did remember )
