Decimocuarta ⚜ Roda [April 02, afternoon; video]

[Here's a sight that doesn't happen often- Fabiola comes onto the network, her face pink, her expression clearly quite flustered. There's a flyer in one small hand, and she glances at it once before speaking, shaking her head a bit.]

While it is not that I am not flattered by the nomination... I must admit that I am uncertain as to why I was even thought of to participate.

[She adjusts her shirt collar idly, looking aside, and flushes a little more, looking even more embarrassed.]

...how does one go about participating in a beauty pageant, in any case? I am afraid I am not exactly aware of the way these proceedings are meant to go.

[want_the_world]

You too, huh.

[It's not a question; he could hardly avoid seeing the flyers.]

Are you going through with it?

[voice]

[malandragem]

Me too.

[So somberly- she saw his name on the flyers and assumed someone had done it for him.]

I plan to, if only because I feel it would be disappointing to whomever signed me up if I did not. I do not want to be rude.

[voice]

[want_the_world]

[Mello scoffs.]

Someone signed you up for something without your permission. You're allowed to be rude to them.

[voice]

[malandragem]

Well- like Kaworu said, I am sure they were only doing it as a compliment...

[voice]

[want_the_world]

I'm sure it was to fuck with me, in my case.

In your case, a compliment's more likely.

[He won't mention Kaworu's uncanny ability to see the best in everyone--Mello can be tactful, sometimes.]

[voice]

[malandragem]

[It's a trait they have in common, honestly.]

Well- I am sure you could probably pull off a dress fairly well, to be honest.

[Case in point.]

[voice]

[want_the_world]

I could, but I won't.

Heh, if only these things included a marksmanship portion, you'd be sure to win, and I might actually compete.

[voice]

[malandragem]

Oh? Why not? Are you not competing?

Well- I do not know about that. I am certain there are better marksmen than I here... but I would certainly do my best.

[voice]

[want_the_world]

I'm not in the habit of calling attention to myself in public, and I don't intend to start now.

[voice]

[malandragem]

Well, I suppose the decision is up to you in the end. It is a pity you will not be participating though, it might have been fun.
