Network Post: Phèdre nó Delaunay de Montrève
Finally, those accursed thorn scrapes and punctures have finished healing. It never takes me so long to heal from something so minor, but it seems the fairy magic behind them also caused them to heal at a slower pace than that to which I am accustomed.

Now that I am free of those marks, I will be resuming assignations at Carpe Noctem. Due to the legal status in this place, I suspect I shouldn't even advertise that, so please contact me privately and not publicly with any interest.

[FILTERED TO GOLDEN SQUARE]

    If anyone should need assistance running errands while they remain cursed or in recovery from their curse, please know that I'd be happy to assist you.

    Lucy, you discussed present-day apparel the other day. I have found a couturier, Miss Jan Van Dyne, who does exceptional work. She is also understanding when someone is accustomed to very different fabrics, shapes, and supports than what is commonly found here. I also noticed that you mentioned music. Will you tell me more about which instruments you play? Perhaps we have some in common.

Oh. I didn't know people made clothes here.

I play only the piano. We didn't have much access to anything else. But it's okay. I like it well enough.

It seems it is oddly rare to do so, and yet people own many more clothes.

The piano didn't exist in my day, so you have that one over me. From what I've looked up here, we had a precursor, the "pipe organ"; I have only heard it once before. I play a few kinds of strings.

They do seem to, yes. There are entire stores full of them with many floors.

I can show you if you like.

Aren't they strange? And then their clothes very rarely fit them since the clothes aren't made for their own bodies.

I would like that. It's been years since I heard the pipe organ, and the piano will be new to me.

The sizes make little sense. No one takes measurements or anything. The undergarments are quite different.

Then I will show you. I have never played an organ before.

The upper undergarments feel so unsupportive to me. Maybe we're just so used to a certain snugness about the torso, but it feels so strange. I don't like the leg holes of these "panties" either.

Thank you, Lucy. I play lyre, kithara, and harp myself, so if we ever procure those, I'd happily demonstrate.

I think so, yes. I don't feel like they are doing what they're meant to do at all. They are very unusual and then there are the ones that apparently are designed to go between your ass cheeks? Thongs or something.

I am not even sure what a kithara is.

I think I'd feel more naked wearing such a supposed garment than if I wore nothing at all. I'm sure one of my oldest friends would wear one to make people laugh while playing his pipe.

It's a Hellene instrument with strings and a soundbox, a bit like a lyre or fiddle. Mayhap it went out of fashion.

It might be easier and less uncomfortable to wear nothing at all. He sounds like an unusual person, but probably not as much as anyone else.

Oh. I'm not sure. Maybe the richer classes know of it.

Ti-Philippe is one of many unusual people I know. Then again, I probably am, too.

I'll look on this internet and tell you what I find when you play for me.

To most of the people here, I think we may all be. A boy from school invited me to come by for a party thrown that involves plastic bricks or that I could show people betting games, but instead we should bet with sweets.

Okay. I'll wait to hear about it.

I think you're right. "Plastic" is strange, too. Why would you play for sweets and not coin? Have they no money to spend?

The house hasn't had a game night in some time. I know your sister likes to share the games of your time. I'm not an expert, but I could share some of mine as well. What do you think? Or are you less fond of betting than she is? (It's the games and the socializing I enjoy more than the money.)

I'm not certain, but I did not wish to question it in case it is a sensitive topic. I only would have suggested very low bets.

I haven't done much betting, but I don't have much of my own coin here now. I believe I must get a "part-time" job. Apparently the grocers is hiring and various other businesses.

It's hard to know what they'll be sensitive about here. They're open about some things and coddle people in others.

I don't have much yet, either. I've grown spoiled, I'm afraid, and now find I keep spending what I earn as soon as I get it. I hope school and "part-time" will work out for you.

Yes. That seems to be the way of things.

I hope it will be something worth doing. It might not, I suppose. I still remain uncertain about what might be worth doing as a job here. Ma might've had a better idea of it.
