[The device clicks on as she is about to make a recording, but before her first word is out she makes a startled gasp instead.]

Is someone there?

...Hello?

[Another gasp and her voice trembles.] When did that get there?

[But she already knows it's part of the curse even if she'd like to think otherwise, so she just stares. What else can she do? But how long can she do it?]

(OOC: Backdated to the Don't Blink curse. And I'm going to bed and then work ~~which I should really not use for tagging!~~, so I might not respond until tomorrow evening, but I will respond!)

I could present it to you in a formal ceremony. I have experience with that.

[Pause]

Really?

Yes. It's not a very useful skill here though.

What do you do back home?

[Ignores that it should really be past tense.] I'm a princess of the Holy Britannian empire and the sub viceroy of Area 11, more commonly called Japan.

[Silence for a minute]

[Then a squeak]

My boyfriend's technically an Emperor.

[Smooth]

[Giggles] I'm just Euphie here.

You have a boyfriend? How is he only technically an emperor?

You sure? I mean I don't want to...that is I'm pretty sure if you had someone bouncing skinny Jewish guys for being impolite I'd totally have been bounced by now.

[Billy smiles a little at the thought of Teddy]

Yeah, he's back home. And I guess like since he's the last living son of the Skrull Empire, that would make him Emperor. If he ever when back to what's left of Skrullos. Or...whatever the Skrulls are using as a homebase.

[Smiles warmly.] I'm sure. And my knight isn't here anymore. [Le sigh] Though "bouncing" is not really one of his duties and if it were I wouldn't want it to happen to you.

Skrullos? I've never heard of it. Then again, most people here aren't familiar with Britannia either. It was partially destroyed though?

Yep. He was sort of taken away when he was a baby, so he doesn't even remember it.

Has he never known his family then?

[Billy shakes his head]

I mean he had a great mom who raised him.

That's good. [And really just as foreign to her as having no family at all.]

I'm sorry you're separated from him.

Thanks, Euphie.

Has he ever been in the city?

Oh, yeah.

About eight months ago.

[Such a long time.] Maybe the city will bring him back or [And she doesn't enjoy this thought] send you home soon.

....thanks.

I hope I didn't surprise you too much with the princess thing.

Well. Not in a bad way, anyway.

I'm glad to hear it. [Smiles] I think it might shock my older sister, Cornelia to know I'm a waitress now. It would probably shock most of my siblings.

I'm pretty sure if my mom found out I co-own a bookstore she'd have a heart attack.

And then tell me she knew that not making me clean my room would be good for my emotional growth.

[Pause]

My mom is a psychologist.

Oh, yes. Neil told me about the bookstore. I didn't realize they were so shocking.

Is she nice?

My mom? Yeah, she's great.

[Smiles] That's good.

I never really knew mine.
