THIRD SONG ♫ VIDEO

[hasitsthorns]

Hellllooooo Hadriel!

[ So. Someone's cheery. One wouldn't think so what with the cave being restored to its 'former glory.' ]

Sure is a bummer that Tranquility's good times ended, huh? [ Understatement of the year. ] Fret not, however, for I have taken it upon myself to plan for Love's inevitable - and fashionably late - arrival!

[ Do you have a bad feeling yet? You should. ]

How, you ask? Well! Easy. I've started charting out the ships down here in the cave. What's a 'ship,' you ask? A ship is short for 'relationship'! This can be any kind, really, but the actual fun is in ones of the romantic sort. [ An oh so innocent bat of her eyelashes. ]

There's a couple obvious ones, there's those who have loved and lost, there's the hopeful buddings of new relationships, and of course we're always wondering who are deities are into.

[ No? Just her? Alright then. ]

You can find the list I've started attached and, please, add to it as you see fit! I'll make the changes accordingly. I'll even try to keep it up to date, so! If any changes happen after the fact - break-ups, make-ups, or unfortunate farewells - feel free to hit me up personally and let me know. This way, Love can be up to speed upon arrival.

[ WINK. All's fair in love and war, yaddah yaddah. ]

(( ooc; So! HAVE AT IT, MURDERCAVE. FEEL THE LOVE. I'll be updating the post as I get suggestions and eventually porting it to Rose's personal journal for future reference. C'mon, ya'll, let's make Love feel welcome for when they arrive. ))

I'll assume someone has pointed out what a monumental waste of time this is, but has anyone suggested that these people might want some privacy with their courtships?

[video]

[hasitsthorns]

Several people, actually.

[ GRIN. ]

I mean, so far no one's really complained too much about privacy... [ Kate has, but. Eh. ] I never really understood the need for secrecy myself.

[ Ahahahaha, what a hypocrite. ]

If I'm with someone, I wanna shout it from the rooftops!

[tongueamok]

Some people would prefer to keep their lives private, I'm sure. Perhaps you shouldn't choose to divulge such information based on your own behavior.

[hasitsthorns]

I mean, it's kind of late for that.

I'm already doing that thing you're trying to tell me not to, so. Moot point, really!

[tongueamok]

You could, I don't know, stop doing it. Or even rid the communicators of this vile message entirely.

[hasitsthorns]

Mmmmmmmm, nah. I'd rather not.

[tongueamok]

Well, nothing I can say will probably change your mind. I'll hope someone else can talk some sense into you.

[hasitsthorns]

Probably not, no! And I doubt anyone else will either. But, hey, I knew it wasn't gonna float everyone's boat.

[tongueamok]

And what does this all have to do with boats? Ships sailing and floating boats and whatnot?

[hasitsthorns]

Did you even listen to the first broadcast, dude? 'Ship' is short for relationships. So it's a play on words!

Ships sailing are people who are together. Sunken ships are break-ups or people who have, y'know, left. So on and so forth. It's pretty clever, I think!

[tongueamok]

[He did, but he was so appalled by the very idea that it didn't sink in.]

... Again, invading the privacy of others, especially those who may have suffered some degree of separation from their loved ones, seems both asinine and cruel.

[hasitsthorns]

I think it's important to commemorate the people we've lost - especially the ones closest to us - not try to swipe them under the rug like they weren't even here.

[ Is it the most tactful way of remembering them? Definitely not. Rose can acknowledge that. ]

[tongueamok]

Then perhaps you should let those closest to them make that decision.

[hasitsthorns]

I kind of am by asking people. I've only put those up there people have wanted.

[ If Kate was really terribly bothered by it and sincerely asked for it to be removed, Rose would take it down. Maketh was told she didn't have to say anything if she didn't want to. Obviously, not everyone is going to be happy but she's not completely insensitive. ]

Otherwise, the people officially together have come forward themselves. And wishful ships are just that, wishful. Harmless fun.

[tongueamok]

Ah, yes. Because asking and dredging up painful memories in the first place is a fantastic way to have gone about this nonsense.

[Carlisle, this is why folks don't invite you to parties.]

[hasitsthorns]

If people don't wanna' talk, they don't have to. I'm not forcing anyone to do anything.

[ Yeah, she's starting to see that. Thankfully, it takes a lot for Rose to really get annoyed or upset. She likes to think this is just a reasonable back and forth. ]

Besides, some people like to remember. I can't speak for everyone, you're right, but I'd gladly talk about those I've lost. I'd rather remember them and what I had with them fondly instead of acting like they didn't mean enough for me to mention.

[tongueamok]

[A long-suffering sigh.]

Between this and those pamphlets of Kate's, this is more information on some people than most of us need. Ever.

[hasitsthorns]

I think tmi-ing people in the cave is pretty harmless, honestly.

In fact, I only think you're so defensive because you're worried about whatever secret lover you got being exposed.

[ She's just teasing and, honestly, reaching. But... ]

audio.

[dedikated]

Wastin' your breath.

( is she grouchy? yeeeeep. )

[voice]

[tongueamok]

[No surprise.]

I had a feeling I would be. I'll also say here that I now know more about you than I ever wanted to.

[voice]

[dedikated]

( To be fair, he probably got the picture from all the visits to the house. She's not always quiet if she thinks she doesn't have to be. )

Didn't ask for this crap.

( :| She liked the privacy, goddamnit. )

[tongueamok]

[He did, but he preferred the "don't ask, don't tell" system they had going.]

No, I don't expect you did. I don't think anyone did.

[dedikated]

( So did she. )

Seems like Bianca enjoyed it. Faith got a date. ( Just. Did it have to involve her ~feelings~ being known to the murdercave? )

[tongueamok]

I am somehow not surprised regarding Faith.

[Of course she'd find some way to enjoy this.]

[dedikated]

( Thanks for the snort of laughter, Carlisle. )

She's easy to please.

( She just. Goes for things. Honestly, Kate envies that, sometimes. )
