Week 5

[grimgrinningghosts]

[...So that was a mess. All of it was a mess, and things don't look to be improving any time soon. With tensions at an all-time high and conditions worsened, it seems pretty safe to say that this whole week promises a great deal of foreboding atmosphere.

But, hey, things aren't entirely bad. Just as Randall promised, you're now able to leave the Manor! 

Just don't stay out there for too long. There's still a lot of you, and you just can't afford to lose numbers.

24 guests remain]

And the...hero-thing. I'm usually not supposed to talk about it, but...cat's kind of out of the bag, in a big way.

[hasit]

Heh. I think we've all let some cat or the other out of the bag in this place.

[She speaks full a mouthful of pins, which she pulls out one by one to tuck strategically into place.]

[pinkflip]

Yeah, I-- ...want I should hold some of those for you?

[hasit]

[Leia waves a hand.]

I've got it. [A couple more pins in the right place, and she finishes off Kim's hair with a couple of tugs to make sure everything's in the right place.] There. You look beautiful, Kim.

[pinkflip]

[ Now that she's able to move and get a better look at everything, Kim looks in awe. She tilts her head this way and that, to try and catch all the intricate curls and braids. ]

Wow... Leia, it looks amazing.

[hasit]

You think so?

[She looks....inordinately pleased by that. Look, she never had a daughter. This is...nice. Leia gives Kim's shoulders a squeeze.]

I'm very glad you like it. It suits you.

[pinkflip]

Absolutely! Oh... [ For a moment, she automatically thinks, she wonders if Tommy would like it-

And moves to tuck her hair behind her ear but oops it's all done up. She smiles all shy and grins at Leia. Focus on the here and now, Kim. ]

I'd love to wear it like this more often.

[hasit]

[For a second, Leia remembers what it's like to be a teenage girl, because even if much of her time had been focused on overthrowing the empire even before she was Kim's age, she'd still paused every now and then to think about things like romance. The things a girl of that age should be worrying about.]

If you like it so much, I'll teach you to do it yourself.

[pinkflip]

[ That perks her right back up. ]

I'd love to learn! Thank you, Leia, that sounds wonderful!
