❤ Week 1 Mingle

Welcome to a new week, lovebirds! Monday dawns gray and misty, and it's actually not long before a thunderstorm rolls in! You can, of course, kiss dramatically in the yard in the rain and risk getting struck by lightning-- or you can stay inside, cuddle in the conversation pit, USE THE GODDAMN BOOM BOOM ROOM or do anything else until the storm blows over by the evening! Don't worry, the rest of the week will be bright and sunny and beautiful!

There's also a new section of the house, weirdly enough! There's a bright turquoise door located near the bedroom and opening it leads to... a massive indoor pool. The water is a pleasant temperature, there's a hot tub, there's an assortment of flotation devices for those of you who might have trouble swimming (tubes, life vests, boogie boards, pool noodles that can also be used to wage Deadly Combat if you are Sara and Kasque or Jeritza or anyone else ready for Violence). And if you somehow didn't pack a swimsuit because why on earth would your canon let you have one--

Worry not!! There's a rack of swimsuits in every size you lot could need! The catch (or not): they're all sexy. Like. Barely there sexy. Impossibly adhering to you sexy. Shoelaces would maybe cover more sexy. Absolutely great to play Chicken Fight in sexy. You get the idea.

Anything having to do with being able to write is still also Not Present.

Enjoy!!!

[Marcille is usually the first person to stick her nose in these discussions, if only to hear about other people's love lives. But tonight she's much more subdued, even if ostensibly the mood is celebratory and they have a lot to be joyful about. She's waiting her turn to speak, for once.

For a while, she's listening while also helping everyone by providing some (not literally) finger food snacks and drinks from the kitchen. so if anyone needs an excuse to get messy or sloppy pre-ceremony there you go, marcille is helping.

She cups her own glass in both palms. There's a whole list of things in her profile and a whole list of things she spouted during her intake, all of which are things she thinks she should think she should want to have. But - ]

I didn't really say this in my interview. Well, I said someone who's smart enough to understand things. But that isn't all of it. Maybe it's not just about understanding things that are said, but about someone who's willing to understand other people.

... Rather, someone who doesn't laugh at other people's dreams. I don't think I'm always good at that. But if I say it's what I want for myself, is that wrong?

[Nursing his own drink, Cyrus pauses mid sip once Marcille speaks. She's been unusually quiet, he realizes, and the way she phrases her answer is unorthodox—raw—compared to the rest, whom he's been leaving to their own devices unless addressed.

He lowers his glass.]

Desires are born from the heart. Like knowledge, emotions are neither intrinsically right nor wrong; it's how you execute them, influencing the world around you, that determines your virtue.

[He raises an upturned hand for emphasis.]

It is not wrong to want something.

[dendrobium]

Not at all. ... I, too, have wished for things that I am not capable of giving.

[ She says it quietly, like confessing to a sin; though she does not view it as such when coming from Marcille. For Sara, the true problem isn't what she wants, it's that she wants at all, when she has been given so much. But Marcille is not her — she is someone allowed, someone who should be encouraged, to seek her happiness. ]

To laugh at another's dream is a great cruelty. Disapproval, uncertainty, even anger... depending on the circumstance, these may all be fair reactions. But laughter disrespects both the dream, and the dreamer.

i'm ngl this is the most saber tag i have gotten from sara

[Marcille bites her lower lip.] From a stranger, sure, but what about from someone who's supposed to be at your side?

... You'd want to choose someone who would know what it meant to support that dream, right? At least, someone who would try to understand...

[When she started speaking, she was talking about dreams in general. Because it is something she could be better at. She has never understood Laios entirely, even been mean to him about it...some of the things she's heard here make the same amount of sense to her.

But just as quickly, Marcille has slipped, probably on accident, into talking about dreams as if she has a specific one in mind.]

... Still, it's better to hear from someone else that they have similar feelings. I'm pretty stubborn when it comes to being right.
