97.5 - chewing gum fraise

[anyone wandering around Montmartre around, oh, let's say TEN PM - will find a teen chilling bundled up with a boombox. no Leonard Cohen this week - instead you get something ridiculously catchy and French bopping out of the speakers.

as Mark chills at a cafe table, nearby, Nora's sitting in the light from said cafe with an easel, a box of pastels, and a fresh supply of paper. a colorful sign propped on the back of the easel says PORTRAITS in big, bold letters, and there's a hat at her feet]


Heeeeeeey, welkommen, bienvenue, welcome, et cetera! It's yours truly, 'Arry le Dur, comin' at you with a big, sloppy wet French broadcast from the art center of Paris! That's right, the show goes on!

I know some of you are going absolutely apeshit about whatever job you rolled outta bed to find yourself stuck with, but think of it this way: at least you didn't wake up with fuckin' homework. Which, uh, yeah, no, I am not doing. What's French for "fuck school"?!

[this elicits a very loud whoop of encouragement from Nora]

So hey, if you've got a job you don't like, you know what I say? SHOVE IT! Throw your bills in the Seine, stick your school books on the subway tracks! This is fucking PARIS! At Christmas!!! I say we earned ourselves a fucking vacation, let's all GO NUTS! Even our poor confused newbies, Love and Remilia. We also have a guy who showed up in the journals TODAY, so ... Serious sympathy cards can be sent along with coping mechanisms of your choice to Legolas.

And hey, just because we're in Paris, don't think I'm gonna get off your asses about keeping the sheep-vibes at bay! We've got an emergency plan in the works, but it still needs floor captains! Go check it out on [page number]. It's filtered, so nobody who shouldn't see it will be able to, just in case any of the First Gens or their traitor buddies are wandering around the city, too.

But hey, if you're anywhere near Montmartre, come say hi. Seriously, this place is the shit. The cafes have great food, the music's badass, and Nora's doing portraits if you want one for whoever's on your Christmas list.

[and the boy speaks the truth. come and hang out with the kids and their artistic rebellious sensibilities! it isn't Paris until you get your bohemian on!]

[You'll get an exasperated huff and he'll cross his arms, pouting.]

[Nora frowns]

We've all done shit we wouldn't normally do while we were on losses.

[She glances at Mark, concerned, before back at Ryuutaros] Hell, I basically told a few friends to fuck off while I helped destroy the town once. I've heard about people attacking people while on losses, too. The way I see it is it wasn't us doing it. It was that fucked up castle controlling us. If you talked to her now you'd see that she wouldn't do anything like that normally.

I'm not saying you hafta like her... just don't hold something like this against her.

[He'll shrug his shoulders, grinning at the two of them.]

[Sorry guys; dealing with quite the brat here.]

Bet you won't be saying that after the first time this place pulls that shit on you.

[She sets her jaw, starting to get annoyed.] How can you not care? This place brainwashes us into turning against our friends, fucks everything up and you don't care?

[Totally smiling seriously what's the big deal guys he sure doesn't know]

[Nora shakes her head, looking completely disgusted]

That's completely fucked up. You're going to have a fucking lonely time here if that's how you feel. Good luck keeping any friends.

[She shoots Mark a look. "Can you fucking believe this asshole?"]

[Tapping his chin in thought...]
