( guess who's back, back again? here she is, the grumpy savior, and... unbelievably, she's doing kind of okay. not, you know, great... but kind of okay.

she comes as a woman on a mission, though... however embarrassing it is. )

easy to pick up hobbies that you do with your hands, and go

sidebar: does anyone want a dreamcatcher? because I've got a lot of dreamcatchers.

( no seriously. a lot of dreamcatchers. she can get about an hour of sleep a night on a good night, so far, and the rest of her nights are spent failing at crafting and making dreamcatchers. )

[illuminescent]

Oh, yes, please!

[dreamcatcher]

I've got a pile here in my office for the taking. If you want to stop by, you can have your pick.

[illuminescent]

I am most thankful for your generosity.

[dreamcatcher]

If you knew how many I had, I'm not sure you'd call it generous anymore.

Got a name? They'll probably let me know you're there to see me. It's a fancy place for something called Pretty Princess Party Event Planning.

[illuminescent]

I am Lucy. And you?

[dreamcatcher]

Emma. Nice to meet you, Lucy.

And I'll say that in person whenever you stop by.

[illuminescent]

Thank you very much! I work until a bit late, but if you do not mind-

[dreamcatcher]

How late is late? I've got some things I can finish up around here.

( and who is she kidding lmao she doesn't sleep lets just say she's got lots of spare time )

[illuminescent]

I most usually leave the Ambassador's office at nine.

[dreamcatcher]

Ambassador's office, huh?

( which is a gentle probing for more information; does she just work there, or is it a bit more intense than that? )

Sure. Come on over once you're done. The office should be empty then, but I'll stick around.

[illuminescent]

Yes. I am fortunate enough to be the Ambassador for De Chima.

[dreamcatcher]

Tough job, I'd imagine.

( not one Emma is envious of, frankly. she doesn't want to put down strings here, she wants to get home. )

Do you like it, though?

[illuminescent]

It suits me well.

[dreamcatcher]

Well, that's something. I had to go through an election to get my job back home, and let me tell you, that's the last one I'll ever choose to participate in.

( she's grandfathered in to be sheriff forever now. being a princess has its perks. )

[illuminescent]

I will say I am not so accustomed to elections. But it was not such a torment.

[dreamcatcher]

They seem a little calmer around here than back home. No rigged arson, for example.

[illuminescent]

Oh. Oh my.

[dreamcatcher]

Yeah. It was a great time.

( it was not a great time. )

Really, though. I know I couldn't do what you do, but I'm glad that we have some kind of advocacy here.
