divus | GODLY AUDIENCES: LUDGER

[Ludger will find Ambition lounging in the beauty parlor, looking at various shampoos and conditioners. The cake he made is sitting on a table nearby, untouched.]

Oh, there you are. You've got some sense, at least.

[If Ambition's cake was the same size as the others, heads would have rolled, maybe.]

[Ambition is pacing back and forth in the beauty salon - her movements are sharp and agitated, but she looks up as he enters.]

There you are. That all went on for so long!

[Well...the sandwich is a nice touch, and when Ludger enters the studio he'll find that it's on a place and in front of Love who's seated on the floor. Posture rigid, they don't move, but they do look up at him and gesture for him to approach.]

Kresnik-san. [It's polite, quiet and patient.] I can guess why you're here, but please sit down.

[When Ludger enters the dance studio, the snowcone's nowhere to be found, though there's a very pleased god seated in the middle of the floor.]

I'm really glad the rule about not taking things from other rooms got lifted, even if music got sacrificed instead. The offerings you guys come up with are kind of cute. [Hello Ludger, please come sit.]

[as long as i post this before the mingle goes up i'm not that late--

anyway, when Ludger arrives in the beauty salon, the dish he had the parfait in is empty, and Ambition is just pulling her mask into place. Apparently, it was really good? She ate the whole dang thing.

But because she needs to work on her people skills, what she says is:]

I'm not normally one for home-cooked food, but I guess I can make an exception for you.

[i hate her]

[Well.

Immediately after the trial, Ambition is still a mess. But she appears for Ludger anyway, waiting for him inside the beauty salon. She's seated with her back to the far wall, under a freestanding rack of nail polishes, her legs drawn up to her chest and her face buried in her knees.]

I'm sorry...

[Her voice is quiet and a little stilted. She's... not good with apologies.]

[Ludger will have to haul himself out to the east wing and to the wrap-around porch of that big blue house overlooking the camp. Cunning is sitting in a deck chair, and there's an empty plate which means he's probably already eaten. His hands are folded behind his head as he overlooks the area.]

Did word get around that I'm easily bribed with food or what? [Hello Ludger, please have a seat.]

[Ambition waits for Ludger in the dining hall. Her mask is off, and she's got the little mini cheesecake in front of her... but she's also got two forks, and she offers one to him when he walks in.]

Here. Share this with me.

[guess who's eating in the beauty salon this time. that's right, it's ambition, and this time she isn't sharing. the food is 3/4 gone before he even arrives, and she's still working on it.]

You really went to her. ...I should say thank you, probably.

[Piety's standing when Ludger enters the study, and giving him a polite bow, gestures toward one of the empty seats by the fire.]

Thank you for the offering--it was absolutely delicious. I'm sorry I couldn't share it with you in person. Please, join me.

[Well. Here they are in the beauty salon. Ambition seems nervous - she hasn't touched the cupcakes yet, although she's got them in front of her and keeps reaching for them like she wants to eat them.

When he enters, she looks up and drops her hand to the table.]

Thank you for being with Disorder this week.

[In the dance studio today, Ludger will find that Love is seated on the floor as she has been before, patiently waiting for him to arrive.]

Thanks for the crepe. It's been a while since I've had one.

[In the game room, Merriment is seated on the billiard table and about 1/4 of the omurice is left, fork stuck in it and Merriment leaning back on his hands to watch Ludger enter the room.]

Don't think I've ever had something like that before. But you're a chef, right? Tasted pretty good to me.

[Hi, Ludger. Indulgence is lounging in a pool chair!]

Come into my office, take a load off! What can I do you for?

[When Ludger comes to find him, Justice is sitting at a table at the lab, head resting on the surface as he watches a little robotic dog move jauntily around on its little legs.]

I know what it is, yes.

[Disorder is admiring her nails, which look freshly manicured, when Ludger finds her. She has one thing to say:]

You're late.

[Ludger probably didn't want to wind up in the armory...

...and Cunning doesn't feel like meeting there either, which is why Ludger will find Cunning on a couch in the lobby of the hotel instead. The plate with the dessert is empty save for a few crumbs and the like, but when he spots Ludger he lifts his hand in a wave.]

I'm starting to get a little envious of you people who know how to cook. [Sup.]

[In the parlor today, Ludger will find that Beauty has set up a table for two with a variety of coffee and tea and little snacks spread before them. Vases of roses sit on nearby tables, and the pudding...is gone. Because it was delicious. So Beauty sits in a high-back chair, right leg crossed over his left at the knee and he waits for Ludger to enter the room.]

Good afternoon, Kresnik-kun. Thank you for the offering.

[She waits for him in the hotel restaurant. The cake is on the table in front of her, and there's two place settings - one for her, one for him.

She gestures for him to come over when he walks in.]

Sit down.
