darius summers, ophelia

Who: Darius Summers and Ophelia
What: Getting together after the past weird week...
When: now-ish
Where: Ophelia's home
Warnings: Mindbending amounts of cute and adorable, most likely.

Ophelia had set up the DDR game in the den, and she had been very busy with popcorn and chips and sodas and cookies and...as much as she could do in her current hyperactive state.

She was so very glad Darius was himself and could not wait to see him again. She had missed him more than she expected to. If she let herself think about it, that fact would worry her.

But she's hyper now, and happy, and...fairly sane. All of those together work out fairly well.

And now she's just waiting for Darius to get here.

	She paused for a moment. "Well, I have done comparison studies with women's magazines. That could quite possibly be true...in some worlds." She giggled and winked at him. She was just as cute as the women in those magazines. And she liked the way she looked and the way people reacted to her told her more of what she needed to know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's definitely true. You just have to. . ." He thought for a minute. How would Emma put this? "Make them believe it beyond a shadow of a doubt as well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ophelia thought about it a bit more. "That sounds...difficult." She doesn't know how she'd convince anyone of anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Darius shrugged. "It's a lot in how you speak, how you act, stuff like that."

He stepped back, relaxing his posture, his hand loose at his sides. "There's a vast difference between 'Hi, I'm here for a job interview?', and," here he stood up straighter, chin up, hands clasped behind him, pulling his shoulders up, "'Hi! I'm here for a job interview!'"

He laughed a little. "It's more useful for women, usually. But still good to know. Emma could teach you way better than me."

	She beams at him. "Oh..." She's slowly getting it. "Like when Queen Gertrude walked into the room and all eyes would turn to her...and then me, following several people later, and finding my seat beside my father, all unnoticed." Totally true. Ophelia had youth and beauty on her side...but she didn't have power and that certain knowledge that power was hers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes. Like that." He nodded. Normally he faded in the background on purpose. Being the center of attention and command had its uses, but so did being on the outskirts, watching without being noticed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hmmmm..." And then she just stepped close and hugged him. It was very direct and she was definitely confident that he'd hug back. "I don't like to think about that time." Mostly because things were very insane back then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2009-01-29 10:11 am UTC (link)
	He hugged her tightly, and kissed her cheek. "Alright, that's okay. But anyway, the whole confidence thing is what most women in this time tend to strive for. If it's not your thing, then that's fine too. I never really wanted every head to turn when I walked in the door, either." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2009-01-29 10:29 am UTC (link)
	"I think the confidence is a good thing to strive for...sometimes." But there's only one person whose head she wants to turn, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded. "Yeah. But any skill can have a use. You never know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2009-01-29 11:38 am UTC (link)
	"So I will learn it," she says, smiling up at him. "There are quite a few instances where I am sure I shall be able to use it...that and driving." She'd been very curious about how to work the automobiles... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2009-01-29 11:43 am UTC (link)
	Darius laughed a little. "That one's easier to teach. Want to give it a try?" He liked driving, and it was a waaaay mroe useful skill. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2009-01-29 11:45 am UTC (link)
	She beams. "I'd love to...then I could actually use my driver's license!" Pause. "And my car, for that matter." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2009-01-29 11:47 am UTC (link)
	He laughed, and nodded. "Alright! Let's go then. Do you have the key for it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Um...it's around here somewhere..." She bounces off to look for it and finds it buried under some mail she hasn't bothered to look at (which she probably should).

The keychain has a tiny crocheted cupcake as the fob. "Found them," she says, as she grabs her tiny purse. She doesn't look inside very often...it's spooky to think of herself as a young woman who went to a gym, drove, and shopped at a place called 'Pottery Barn'.

	Darius eyed the mail, and spotted a couple that he was nearly sure were bills. Well, one thing at a time. "Cool. Where's your car?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Downstairs in the parking garage...It's very cute." Her brow furrows. "Though I wanted a fast one in red...Father thought I should have something more practical..." she says absently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2009-01-29 02:44 pm UTC (link)
	Darius blinked, his head canting a little. "Ophelia?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2009-01-29 02:45 pm UTC (link)
	She shook her head to clear it, and sighed. "Do you ever have the memories of the person you replaced just... happen, randomly?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2009-01-29 02:47 pm UTC (link)
	He shook his head. "Not like that. I'll remember stuff, but not with, you know, personality attached." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2009-01-29 02:51 pm UTC (link)
	"It's very disorienting," she said. "Bits of me know how to drive, and bits of me are still thinking of them as combustable monsters." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2009-01-29 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	"SO you're an environmentalist?" Bad joke, and she probably wouldn't get it. "It's okay. I think we all have to deal with those things. I think it probably gets better the longer you're here. Like you grow into the brain of the person you replaced." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2009-01-29 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	She tilts her head at him at the joke. No...she really doesn't get it, but that's all right. "As long as I'm...still me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2009-01-29 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	"You'll always be you. There are very few things that can make it otherwise, and all can be fixed." Or exorcized. "But you'll change, probably, because that's the way life is." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2009-01-29 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	Ophelia nodded. "Yes...as long as I don't lose myself again..." She grins up at him again. "But replacement me seemed to be the same as...well, me, except modern. I don't think I'd mind changing a little bit." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
