tea with the demon and the witch [OPEN]
CHARACTERS: Sebastian Michaelis (cutlery), Sieglinde Sullivan (grunehexe), and YOU
DATE: Today?! I guess?!
WARNINGS: None
SUMMARY: Sebastian received tea and a teapot for his holiday gift, so what better way to use it than to share it? That, and it's a prime opportunity to socialize Sieglinde. It's lessons time.
[ Whether you received an invitation to come to tea or just happen to be an especially dedicated explorer, you're likely to find the local apothecary's first floor slightly rearranged. After a bit of bargaining with the owners, Sebastian had managed to convince them to allow for a small gathering. While Sieglinde's little apartment above the store was well enough, it was certainly not suitable for what Sebastian had in mind. He had received a gift of tea (earl grey, of course) from ALASTAIR, and not quite having a taste for it himself, well. He had another idea on how to use it.
It was perfect for a lesson for the young lady.
A large table is set up for tea, including a plethora of tasty treats all made by Sebastian himself. He won't be sitting to join, since it's not proper for a butler, but he'll happily stand to the side of the room with the teapot at the ready to give people tea as they need a refill. There's no need to ask, since he's a butler of perfect principles, so just as you seem to be wanting more, he's there to refill your cup.
In his mind, this is an occasion for Sieglinde to meet others and socialize with them, and he can gently give lessons on proper etiquette, but it might not be in yours. Feel free to strike up a conversation with the butler quietly playing host, though he'd much prefer you speak with everyone else! ]
ooc ; Welcome to a tea party! This log is OTA, so feel free to tag in even if you don't have CR with Sieglinde or Sebastian. He's too polite to turn people away, and Sieglinde is probably just excited to meet more people... Feel free to make toplevels and use this as a mingle post. I'll be responding to every toplevel at least! ♥

[ Did that sound like an insult? Goodness! Sebastian would never.
(He 100% would and did, but he'd also deny it.) ]
Well, you must forgive my ignorance on the matter. A walking, talking skeleton would certainly be something out of quite the frightening little tale where I am from.
no subject
[ Very much, uh... missing the point there. ]
no subject
...Would you really? I would not mind elaborating, but they are symbols of death where I am from, Mr. Papyrus. They are not flattering stories for a skeleton, I would think.
no subject
Symbols of death? Wowie, skeletons must have left quite the impression on humans during the war! Don't worry, I can handle it! They're just stories, after all!
no subject
It is not quite that, but... I will not explain further.
[ He won't waste his breath saying that it's more like a symbol than a story, since he really doubts that Papyrus would get it anyways. ]
Have you heard of the danse macabre, then?
no subject
[Do you want to do the macarena with him, Sebastian.]
no subject
[ Doesn't that count though, Sebastian? ]
The danse macabre is the "dance of death." It is quite an interesting theme in art where people of all status and stations dance with skeletons, for it is a symbol of the one certainty of life: death.
[ it's pretty morbid, but this is a demon ]
no subject
[ And by "I see" it means more he once again is hearing what he wants to hear, and that Sebastian seems to know some kind of foreign dance that involves dancing with a skeleton. He's very fond of the idea. ]
Do you know how to do it?
no subject
It is a metaphor, Mr. Papyrus. It is not an actual dance.
no subject
It's okay that you don't know how to dance with a skeleton. Don't worry. I'm not offended.
[ Better nip this in the bud, because Papyrus' next action will be to try and convince Sebastian to let him teach the hell butler how to dance. ]
