a timely warning

[princessofheart]

given the time of year and the recent influx of now wild turkeys, i think we should all take a moment to remember what the real menace of society is

There are many worlds, but they share the same sky -- one sky, one destiny. That was part of my poem.

[She leans her elbows on the desk and places her chin in her hands.]

Do school dances count? Or do I have to get someone to throw a real actual ballgown type ball?

Be still, mystery boy's heart. [snerk. He flicks his pencil at her without actually making contact. He can't help but smile though––it's a nice line.]

School dances definitely don't count. Kids dancing like morons to Macklemore is not a ball, Marina.

[princessofheart]

I mean, it can be a ball if you try hard and believe in yourself.

Fine then though, I'll find a real ball. A charity ball or something, and I'll go, and I'll show you who's a real princess with poise and elegance and shit. I'll princess the fuck out of that ball like you don't even know. I'll even like, knight someone and make them go with me.

..Or maybe that's just for queens.

Your gracefulness continues to leave something to be desired, Marina.

But I'll take you up on it, I guess. Go ahead, show me.

[princessofheart]

Pfff, I'll work on it. I'll have a Princess Diaries style transformation just in time to attend a fancy ball and it'll be great.

Unbelievable, I'm friends with young Anne Hathaway.

Maybe retrospec will send you a Fairy Godmother, too.

A Fairy Godmother would save me a lot of money on ball gown costs, those things are ridiculous.

[Well, she has a cousin studying to be a fashion designer that possibly would do it, but she really... doesn't like him... and it'd probably end up ridiculously high fashion nonsense.]

I'll save the money you paid me specifically to go towards the ball gown fund.
