SIX. [Accidental Voice/Action]

Jun 05, 2010 01:06

[The post begins with a soft, scarcely audible thump: the falling journal's trip from atop a table was cushioned by landing on something soft. It was still jarring enough to flip it open and begin recording, though. The light is just dim enough that one could probably tell that there is a candle atop the table that Fenimore is trying to steady ( Read more... )

i ought to be embarrassed over this, kyaaaaa, !ic, blame and/or thank silvie for this, i probably won't be though

Wh--? [There's a pause on this end because, for lack of a better idea of the source of the sound, it was almost like the duck answered her.

The "journal" comment gets her moving, though.] It's on--?! [ There's the sound of splashing as she turns towards the table, her arm disappearing into the tub but her profile becoming visible, but it's no longer there now that it's fallen to the floor.] Where...?

I don't kn--

[...wait a second. She turns to look around the room, although only far enough that her profile is visible and the journal remains out of her line of sight. There's another squeak as the rubber duck gets squeezed during the quick movement.] Who said that?

[Squeak?]

Nobody here but us journals.

[And as Adell flips through his journal, he hears the squeaking of the rubber ducky. ...And accidentally, his own journal begins a transmission.]

Huh? What was that?

I don't kn--huh?

[Voice] xelhes June 5 2010, 16:03:12 UTC

[...That probably wasn't the duck. There's the sound of splashing and another squeak as she turns to look around the room.] Who's there?

[Voice] vulcanblazer June 5 2010, 16:52:24 UTC

[Oh, he knows what that splashing means. He's genre savvy enough and knows when it's combined with the squeaking of something like that to know someone's taking a bath. And... that's when he notices the picture too, and he instantly looks away, mildly blushing in embarrassment. If Fenimore can manage to see the picture Adell is transmitting back, he's clearly looking away.]

Y-your journal's recording. ...I-I'm sorry.

[This starts off as a (fairly innocent) bit of laughter. But as soon as Buffy realizes that she is, indeed, being recorded? Well, she takes control of her voice:]

Might want to watch out for the journal-o-voyeurs.

[voice] 1/2 xelhes June 5 2010, 16:11:10 UTC

[Fenimore looks around the room at the sound of the laughter, but not with any urgency. It didn't really sound like their laughter, but maybe Stella or Shirley were laughing about something in a nearby room? Though it sounded rather close for that....]

[voice] xelhes June 5 2010, 16:11:32 UTC

Wha--? [But the comment definitely adds the missing urgency as she looks over at the table. She had made sure that her journal was closed, but now it wasn't even there.] Where did it go?!

[voice] /abuses this icon slaying June 5 2010, 16:14:41 UTC

Uhm--[Buffy sighs, suppressing another chuckle.] Just be careful. These things have a tricky little habit of sliding open. Did you put it anywhere that it could take an unfortunate tumble from?

[Action] I am proud to take the blame for this post prayingone June 5 2010, 23:24:39 UTC

[Shirley, who was outside folding towels off of the clothesline because Ferines house says SCREW TECHNOLOGY we come from fantasyland, has missed all of Fenimore's journal shenanigans. She certainly isn't intending to crash Fenimore's bath: the door to the bathroom is usually kept closed and it's locked when in use. She's just innocently coming into the room to put a basket of those nice clean bath towels away.

You really should've locked that door, Fenimore. Not that it probably would have helped -- this bath appears to be cursed.]

... ah-!

[Action] as you should. even though I am as much to blame for going through with it xelhes June 5 2010, 23:46:00 UTC

[So, by the time Shirley has made it in, Fenimore has gotten sick of these journal shenanigans and has decided to do something about it. Now that the journal's camera, or whatever it has, has been blocked by a thrown towel, Fenimore feels safe to get to her knees in the tub and lean over to close the journal shut. After all, no one's going to see her now.

When she hears Shirley's voice, she thinks it must have come from the journal for a second. But she's already closed it and it sounded like it was coming from a different direction. As such, she looks up towards the source of the noise.]

--huh?

[Action] then let us share the blame. and the pride. prayingone June 6 2010, 05:20:53 UTC

[This is Shirley. She is currently cowering behind a basket of bath towels, doing her best not to see anything and oh Nerifes she needs to put the basket down to get the door again and leave Fenimore in peace but if she puts the basket down she might see something and and and --]

I....... -- I'm sorry, Fenimore!

[Action] the laughter and the tears! xelhes June 6 2010, 05:27:17 UTC

Ah--! [And now there is a splash as Fenimore dives back into the bath and takes advantage of the remaining bubbles for cover. Some of the water splashes onto the floor in her haste.]

Shirley, what are you doing in here?
