Manuel survived his meeting with Rom, tho' he won't tell me what happened. And he's a bit grumpy at me for 'abandoning' him like I did - Aspen (Homily's daughter, a bit older than me, but about the same level magically) wanted to take me to this new magic shop in Camden, to see if what they were claiming was a Haitian fertility statue was the the genuine article or not - my power's handy that way, I can tell if mystical objects are actually what they're claimed to be, or if they were knocked up in someone's back shed. It wasn't, by the way - that's one shop that's just lost a lot of profit.

But yeah, no turning into frogs. Or newts, or anything else, for that matter. And now we're off to Soho for historical reenactments of European history. In a pub.

I want pictures. I cannot possible imagine that without them. Please tell me there are pictures.

Oh my.

Oooooh my.

I would offer the services of France's armies, but sadly, France's armies have no interest in even coming anywhere NEAR Spain's idea of punishment for war crimes.

What kind of dress?

France definitly does not like beer. Though, France suspects that their armies could hold their own in wine. Perhaps. Spain might have us there. More time over-training in stupid ways.

Does Manny get to pick the dress too?

I would gloat...

but it's unseemly.

I have many, many possibilities available to me. What to choose, what to choose?

Manuel

I do not gloaty-dance.

It would be undignified. I'm thinking Masquerade.

Yes, I believe that's the way to go.

Manuel

Quite.

Formal costumes. How are you with hoop skirts?

A skirt that billows out and is held out from the legs with wire or stiff fabric. Worn over layers of underskirts or (or AND) possibly bloomers.

They're -very- old fashioned, and usually just for costume purposes now.

Manuel has good taste in clothing, God knows he owns enough of it. I'm sure he won't pick anything you look horrible in.

This is true, and I imagine in your case, seeing Manuel dressed up in some terribly elegant old-fashioned suit would not be a proper price to pay for having to deal with a dress and shoes and all the accessories..

I know that I -should- sympathize, and I do. I feel for you, very much.

But it is really, really funny. I am sorry, I can't stop laughing.

What would you have done to Manuel if he had lost?

Re: Neither can he. Stop laughing, that is.

Manuel, out of dress pants and shirts?

The world might end.

Aww. That is terribly cute and sweet of him.

This is me being very glad you are across the ocean so I cannot be turned into a small lizard.

Maybe it would interact badly with my precognition and tell you where I will be next week.

I hope.

It occurs to me that even if you cast it and got where I would be next week, you wouldn't know if it was for next week or now, right?

Re: There's a thought...

Oh, not the dreaded logic!

Did you actually cast it?

I do not think it would really bounce off, unless I was trying to use my power at the time maybe.

That can be arranged.

I wonder if your spell for turning things into frogs would work on one of my images...

England -has- red wine? England has grapes??

Spain is usually sneaky. Do not play poker with Spain.

At least he has good fashion sense. VERY good fashion sense, in many cases.

Would like you to know that he's very disappointed in France.

But since Spain is nursing a hangover the size of the Armada, and England just threw up all over the bathroom, I'd say that the issue can just wait until both nations have recovered.

France is curious as to the disappointment.

And mocking Spain for being so foolish as to not supply their armies with fresh water.

The stuff is _vile_!

And Spain has pleasant memories of his time spent on French soil, even though the circumstances were ... dubious.

I am deeply unimpressed, it's true. Didn't you think to start adding vodka to his pint when he wasn't looking?

Romany says that if it's a formal do, and Manuel gets you wearing something that looks ladylike, she wants pictures.
