Euphemia li Britannia

[When the device clicks on seemingly of it's own accord, the first signs of life are muffled, but it is clearly displaying a bedroom. Some may recognize it as belonging to a certain Yuri Lowell. The light sounds of lips meeting, murmurs of approval, and then giggling become audible as the blanket is peeled back, first revealing a pink-haired girl wearing a pale lavender silk chemise and a teasing smile. She seems to be straddling the other figure.]

We have the room to ourselves, and it's too warm for blankets.

[Yuri smirks up at her, hands on her waist and sneaking downward.] Then how do you suggest we cool off?

There's always the beach outside. Spring water is nice and chilly. [She fights back the smile that's trying to emerge.]

[And maybe he takes that slip in his hands and tugs it up a bit — eyes teasing and mischievous] Well, I can't say I'd complain about the view.

[She laughs lightly and leans back toward him.] You're impossible. [But she could not look more fond right now—more in love.]

[He chuckles and moves to press their foreheads together. Perhaps that smirk melts into something of a smile — just as loving — before he swoops in to steal a kiss.]

[It's not much of a theft when she kisses him back so readily, but it is nice. Of course it would have been nicer if she hadn't broken the kiss for a moment to sweep back her long hair and notice a certain device recording them.] Oh! Sorry about that! [She calls out quickly to her newly discovered audience before reaching out to turn the device off.]

(OOC: Cursed with Till Death Do Us Part. Euphemia li Britannia Yuri Lowell Forward-dated to morning hours.)

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if I could speak to shop owners, specifically restaurateurs. I have an idea for a fundraiser for the Welcome Center.

Also, if anyone is interested in volunteering at the center you'd be very [she pauses, laughing softly at the unintentional word play] welcome. I can tell you all about how you can help new arrivals.

I know there have been a lot of strange things going on lately, [or at least less expected than curses] but I think it's important to keep up with our day-to-day lives here too. Well, thank you for listening.

I know there have been many strange happenings lately, but I was wondering if anyone [else] has noticed...

[It's awkward to say this. She doesn't want anyone to worry, but she is also nervous. Is it just her?]

That their heart isn't beating?

[After a beat.] And do deity trades ever expire?

[By the time she woke up it was already clear from listening to the network traffic and glancing out her window what curse was going on. She was excited and so hopeful that she'd see Lelouch and maybe even this time she'd see Cornelia and Nunnally and friends who had left. But she still had a job to do too! She wasted no time going to the welcome center.]

Greetings, new arrivals! Welcome to The City. I'm Euphemia li Britannia, and I'd like to direct your attention to the welcome center. You should be able to see it from the fountain. [Where most people arrive at least.] We have fresh coffee and tea for you. [And donuts and danishes too, but why cause a stampede?]


(OOC: 4th Wall! Anything goes. Please specify if you are responding in video or action. Forward dated to not the middle of the night, but really spanning both days, so... ♥)

[Euphie wasn't going to post about it. She was just going to hide in bed, but then being in bed this morning had...other issues. So, she's up and she's going out to run errands, but first just a quick note.]

I shouldn't have giggled at Yuri or Ken when this happened to them.

[Her hair is still pink, but now it falls just above her shoulders without the trademarked buns behind her ears. She's taller, her voice is deeper, and she's dressed in her brother's clothes—a white button down with dark gray slacks. Her normally large chest was now flat and broad.]

[Yep, Euphie is a man.]


( OOC )

[Euphie sends an invite out to the entire network. It includes directions.]



The new year is coming up soon. Derek Morgan and I are putting together a little party at the new youth center. Everyone is welcome!

( OOC: IF YOU HAVE EVER SPOKEN TO EUPHIE YOU SHOULD CHECK THIS GIFT LIST! )

It's December 18th. That's the day I arrived one year ago. I guess that makes today my anniversary. I know being here isn't always a pleasant thing, but I wouldn't have traded this time for anything. I've been so happy to know all of you.

Mm...on a less happy note, I noticed Penny hadn't been at the Welcome Center when I went in today. When she didn't answer calls I checked the hall. I'm afraid she's gone.

[There's a pause before she continues. She doesn't want to gloss over a friend leaving, but she also wants to honor her by helping to look after what she started.] Ah, could those of you who volunteer at the welcome center please meet me there this afternoon? I think we should talk about how to proceed. I definitely don't want to see it close. I think it's too valuable for new arrivals, and I wouldn't want to let Penny down either.

(OOC: Backdated to late morning. Feel free to action in comments or use prose if that's how you roll. Euphie is perfectly willing to step up and be the head of the welcome center. She wouldn't just declare it so though. So, she's just looking to get people together to discuss.)

Oh…

[Euphie pauses, trying to understand how she feels about this when she recognizes the familiar signs of this curse. Her siblings left so recently. She was still trying to adjust. Is it possible they might reappear? …If only for two days?]

Lelouch? [So much hope packed into this one name.] Nunnally? Cornelia? Please, if you can hear me, say something. I'd like to see you.

Setsuna? Allen? …Ino? Alice? Anyone? Are you back too?


(OOC: 4th wall event! Anything goes! Forward-dated to morning. Spoilers ✔ | Duplicates ✔ | Threadjacking ✔ | Backlogging ✔)

You might call it a reoccurring nightmare. After all, it happened and it haunts her when she's awake, so why not when she's asleep? But tonight, if you come calling you'll see Euphie in a blood-stained and tattered dress, curled up on herself watching something in the distance as fallen bodies lay scattered on the ground around her.

If you follow her gaze you'll see the same girl, but in addition to an identically ravaged dress she's wearing her customary smile. Her eyes are just a little vacant, but otherwise she looks like her normal, cheerful self. And she is cheerful. Why shouldn't she be? She's doing such a good job of killing all the Japanese as she sprays bullets into the still living, still screaming, still panicking crowd.

( OOC )

[A smiling Euphie appears on screen with her new puppy.]

I wanted to thank everyone. I had a wonderful birthday, and the party was so much fun. Thanks so much to everyone who helped put it together and especially Hanna. It was so much more than I could have expected.

[The puppy nuzzles the device a little and the screen tilts before Euphie straightens it out again.]

I think Tumbles wants to say hi to everyone too.
