❀ Three ❀

[Lily is huddled up with a pillow pressed to her chest. No, it's not moving. She has put the girls on display far too much as of late.]

I've learned something. Corsets are torture devices.

Do you know I have bruises in places I don't even want to name?

So yes. Avoid them at all costs. If you want to be skinny and busty, wear the right colors and make sure your clothing fits you appropriately.

[Her face is pressed against the top of the pillow. Only her dark red hair and bright eyes can be seen now.]

[Private to James and Sirius.]

Talk to me? I'm sorry I was mean. I guess I was a spoiled wench.

[She is trying to lighten the mood. There's no reason to talk about prisons and regrets.]

If you want, you can give me an annoying parrot for my birthday.

[Private to Severus Snape.]

How are you settling in?

At least you didn't keep taking yours off.

[myloveisalwayshere]

You have my utmost sympathy.

[therecipe]

Thank you. You have mine for your poor crushed ribs. That might still be worse.

[Private]

[watersacrificed]

And somehow I still found a way to hide a weapon or two in that damn thing.

1/2

[myloveisalwayshere]

I'm not sure at the moment. Either way, we were on display.

2/2

[myloveisalwayshere]

Did anyone...take advantage of you?

[Private]

[myloveisalwayshere]

How did you manage that?

Re: [Private]

[watersacrificed]

Honestly? I have no idea and I'd rather not try to remember.

[sunflowersister]

Oh goodness, it sounds like yours might have been on wrong, dear...

[therecipe]

Well... I did get paid. And then I robbed them.

[Private]

[myloveisalwayshere]

I don't blame you. I've heard of ladies keeping knives and the like strapped to their thighs, but even that seems tricky.

[myloveisalwayshere]

You think? It was my first time.

Merlin, I hope I had it on wrong.

[myloveisalwayshere]

So you were an... entrepreneur?

[therecipe]

That's one way of putting it. An unfortunately successful entrepreneur.

[myloveisalwayshere]

I did notice that men were easy to distract in that era.

[icanbuyafez]

Really? I didn't think they were too bad! Then again, I was a bit preoccupied at the time. And I suppose it was a bit... tight.

It made for a wonderful addition to my disguise, though! Except... well, King Henry did find me anyway.

[therecipe]

Very easy.

[myloveisalwayshere]

[Wait... He wore a corset?

Well that's just silly.]

Is it...a hobby of yours to wear one? And I must remind you that you lack certain assets that truly make corsets confining.

[Boobs.]

King Henry? You mean of England?

[myloveisalwayshere]

I guess that's why I was kidnapped by my husband and his best mate.

Wait oops this should be audio

[icanbuyafez]

Oh, no, no, that was just the once. Wait, twice! [Small pause.] No more than five times. And that was over several hundred years.

Really? What would those be? [Yep, not actually putting that one together.]

Yep! Lovely chap, though a bit of a temper. Honestly, I did say sorry!

Well he still has a man's voice. XD

[myloveisalwayshere]

...is that... [Several hundred years ago?] How old are you? I...don't mean to be rude, but are you saying you've lived for several hundred years?

[Lily winces.] Er...chest region. [Vague motioning.]

That would either be Henry the Seventh or Henry the Eighth, right?

well it can be video too, we just didn't specify and I think the default is text

[icanbuyafez]

No offense taken. I'm eleven hundred twenty three!

Chest region? You mean - oh! Um. Yes. Right.

Nope, Henry the first!

I just assumed video since her post was video. But it's up to you. <3

[myloveisalwayshere]

...that's... [There are no words for that.] You're walking history!

So were all the Henrys that badly tempered?

Video is fine! <3

[icanbuyafez]

Well... maybe a little. Running, actually! Most of the time, anyway. Till I came here, that is.

Not all of them! Henry III was surprisingly mild mannered, and Henry VI was a great friend!

[librariansheart]

Oh dear. I wonder if you had yours tied too tightly. But then mine was an older style, I think... Maybe it was a kinder variety. If you like, I have some medicine that ought to help with the pain and bruising. I'd be happy to give you some!
