oo1; video; during the furniture monsoon

[She knows—because how could she not?—that all of these things are just more wayward debris brought in by accident or design. The timing’s a little different, but the geometries of the furniture that keeps showing up must mean that it, like everything else, is coming through from somewhere else. She knows; she knows. But it would be so unfair to treat this as if it were as terrible as everything else that’s happened to her so far. Why not choose to be pleased, just once?

Irisviel is filming herself from inside the apartment she shares with Saber. She looks pleased as punch.
]

Look what I found! [Her voice is filled with pride. A dramatic pan down of the camera reveals… a papasan-shaped chair made entirely of interlocking metal hands. Just hands. There are at least 13 hands here. Irisviel ducks back into the frame, beaming.]

It’s fascinating, isn’t it? I’ve never seen anything like it, even in the catalogs I used to look through! Ah, but getting it was a little different than ordering from a catalog, though.

There’s this, too! [The camera snaps back down to what is probably a tea table. It’s short enough and rectangular enough. It’s going to do a very good job holding tea, though: There are large pockmarks in the top surface, and the entire thing tilts to the left at a forty-five degree angle.] I think this is what’s called ‘true modern design!”

[After clapping a hand to her cheek and sighing dreamily, she continues.] I know the tone of this video is a little different, isn’t it? I haven’t forgotten what’s happening; I just thought, for a moment, something good might have come from it.

These things may not be able to stay forever...but I would like to see what you’ve found! And please tell me if you have any ideas for how to use this [the camera goes back to the “tea” “table”] or how to get the rest into the apartment!

[Wait, the rest?]

[ Of the things Saber expected to see checking the network from the Guard Post, a chair made of entirely too many hands wasn't one of them. It probably wouldn't bother her so much if a. that wasn't Irisviel with said hand-chair, and b. she wasn't showing it off from inside their apartment, oh god why. The table isn't so bad, comparatively, but yikes.

She has to try and let her Master down gently — and she's about to, when something about the last part belatedly catches her off guard. ]


The... the rest? There are more of these [ abominations ] creations? [ Her expression is mildly horrified. ] They seem [ hideous ] rather impractical, Irisviel. Surely our current furniture will suffice.

[Delmar has never been good at being diplomatic. He is someone who by nature wears his heart on his sleeve so even as he tries to say something nice, his face betrays the bewilderment and horror he feels for the found furniture thats been popping up around the cave]

It is all very, um, well...its....

[He struggles for a kind way to describe it]

...it's all very creative isn't it?

[It is baffling to him that anyone would find this incongruous cluster of furnishings pleasing in appearance.]

If any of this furniture find its way into my dwelling, I will be sure to inform you.

[They can arrange to have them moved to hers. If this is 'true modern design', then Oscar wants no part of it.]

[His eyes go wide in wonder]

I hadn't thought of that!

[That makes all of this much more exciting, except-]

Oh, but if that is the case, wouldn't the place they are from be missing them very dearly? If they are art they must be important.

"Unique", is it...

[ She can't argue with that description, even if there's another word she'd rather use. ]

The apartment is not terribly big, Irisviel. Are you certain these things will fit? [ Saber refuses to let any of them in her room. ]

[An eccentric exhibition if ever there was one.]

You may claim them as your own if you wish.

( Yeah. That. Is the least table looking table she's ever seen. )

Think it's called a waste of space.

( How are you ever going to use that? )

[Henry straight up grimaces.]

Do you not think that chair... ghastly?
sheathes: (we'll only stop)

[personal profile] sheathes 2017-08-17 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ PLEASE HELP ]

Thank you. I do not know if I can tolerate such a thing in my living space.

Who envisioned the touch of numerous metal hands a comfortable seat?

[He scoffs, before he subtly nods at Saber and makes the hand gesture he'd use on troops for engage, then taps himself and makes the gesture for retreat with his other. It's an offered plan, which in context is meant to mean: you distract Irisviel, I remove the offending furnishings?]
sheathes: (all this is)

[personal profile] sheathes 2017-08-17 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Irisviel, would you join me for a walk? Or perhaps a meal. [ God she's a bad actor. ] I am sure the new... furniture will be fine for now.
sheathes: (for an easy way)

[personal profile] sheathes 2017-08-17 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone with no sense of practicality. I fear for the mind of the craftsman.

[ She gives him the slightest return nod possible. She'll try. ]

We can only hope this issue does not become widespread. The furniture in this city is strange enough as it is.
hotspurred: (what say you?)

[personal profile] hotspurred 2017-08-18 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed.

[Then it's settled. He'll wait for her cue.]

Surely... those... cannot be a glimpse of the future?
sheathes: (all the locals scattered)

[personal profile] sheathes 2017-08-19 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
S... surely not! Such a devilish future is unthinkable!

We must do all we can to prevent this from occurring, Sir Henry.

The table needs work. If you were to set tea upon that, it would tumble onto the floor! (But he admires her enthusiasm.) I could fix it if you like? The legs and the surface need to be evened, but the rest need not be changed from its original state if that appeals to you?

[Delmar nods seriously]

You are very right. It would be very inconsiderate to let somebody's art get ruined.
