Even discounting the reprehensible behavior of other people, it really is intolerable how much the community invades our privacy and messes around with our lives. As much as I do like this place overall, it has no right to do half of the things that it does, and I don't think that's something that I'll ever just get over or learn to completely accept.

My country's relics aren't toys to be spread around from world to world. These things are taken very seriously, and it would be seen as highly dishonorable and disrespectful for a non-royal to wear or use any sort of royal artifact.

The community is highly disrespectful. I really don't say this enough.

Why would you call me "Princess"? I haven't been one in years.

[And there's a facepalm... and a wince... His injury still bothers him.]

It's... It's a saying, my lady.

[He smiles a little, though.]

Other than not understanding each others' words, you're a difficult one. I respect that.

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

It's a saying usually used to mock somebody, but I actually was a princess before.

You don't act as if you respect me.

Fear and respect are two different things, my lady. I hardly remember what is to be afraid... unless... [He stops there and takes a breath. There was something that deeply scared him... but obviously he wasn't going to say it.]

And can't you understand a joke? Simple teasing from one person to the other. Besides... I'll admit it... you do look cute when angry. There.

[He leans back again... still smirking.]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

... I'm aware that fear and respect are different. Did I say that I expected you to fear me?

[He smiles a little, biting on his lower lip and shaking his head... caught in his own trap he is.]

No. Of course not. But... honestly? It doesn't look as if you're trying any other way around. I would know... I talk to people in this place because I really have no other chance, unless the place itself blocks me.

[He shrugs.]

But I'm not the most socially adept human being alive.

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I'm not really trying to do anything, period.

[video]

[samuelleofisher.livejournal.com]

So.... how do you get around this place that keeps stealing your stuff and whatnot?

[He seems genuinely curious.]

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

At its most basic? You post, comment, and hope the viruses don't hit you.

[video]

[samuelleofisher.livejournal.com]

[He nods in agreement.]

I guess you're right. Thankfully you have your crown back, though.

[He shakes his head and folds his arms.]

You never try to squeeze all the juice you can from this place?

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

That depends on what you mean.

[video]

[samuelleofisher.livejournal.com]

[He laughs.]

You have no idea the amount of comments that I could come up with thanks to that opening you just give me. But I've bothered you enough... sort of... my lady, and I won't go that far.

I guess I mean... what do you actually do around here? Anything I might not think you would do?

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I worldhop a lot. Do you know what that is yet?

[video]

[samuelleofisher.livejournal.com]

[Placing his socked feet on the table besides, Sam leans back on the sofa, looks up and sighs.]

Haven't a clue...

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

It's just what it sounds like-- going from world to world. I've had a worldhopping device for years now; it's how I'm able to live on multiple worlds.

[video]

[samuelleofisher.livejournal.com]

Huh...

[He looks around.]

That's as much of a scary thought as it is... interesting.

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's scary at all.

[video]

[samuelleofisher.livejournal.com]

I don't think you get the point...

Imagine that someone actually wants to harm you, someone from one of these so called different worlds. Fine, maybe they won't get to harm you -and honestly I can barely care about that. They could still harm something important to you, and then they're back on their worlds in their safe zone.

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I'm aware. I've had that happen to me.

I went into their safe zone to sniff them out.

[video]

[samuelleofisher.livejournal.com]

You can move around easier than I can, my lady.

[And suddenly there's a deep frown.]

They'll die in my world if ever they even touch my daughter.

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way.

[video]

[samuelleofisher.livejournal.com]

Eureka! Bingo! Yahtzee! We agree on something! Jesus Christ... Finally...

[video]

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

Is it really that big of a deal?

[video]

[samuelleofisher.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles a little.]

If I'm going to be constantly brought back to this place without my consent, I might as well get to know the people in it. Knowing similarities and differences could be of aid. If you don't wanna take it personal, take it... uhm... politically, I guess.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

All right.
