1st Rock

[celticromanstone]

[ The video opens on a pretty, young looking woman, lounging on a jeweled throne. There is a soft metallic gleam to the stone of the throne, almost like she'd polished quartz.

She drapes her leg over one of the arms of the throne. ]

So, the earth will not be quaking any longer.

[ She looks amused. ]

Not that it can't, but I'll try to keep the tantrums to a minimum.

[ She twirls her hair around a finger. ]

Now, if someone could point me to a drink, that would be lovely.

[ Your new Earth Goddess is thirsty. ]

[heirtonothing]

Ah, thank you for that. It was beginning to get rather worrying.

video;

[celticromanstone]

Not a problem, dear. It's not something I thought of, but I'll take the throne of Earth.

[heirtonothing]

I can't say I ever wanted to be called a goddess either.

video;

[celticromanstone]

Oh, it's not the goddess part. It's the lack of alcohol.

video;

[heirtonothing]

The lack of alcohol?

[ Are you serious? That's what bothers you about all of this? ]

Why don't you go out and purchase some?

video;

[celticromanstone]

I do hate to drink alone.

[ She smiles. ]

Would you care to join me?

video;

[heirtonothing]

I don't really have time...

[ Which is code for "I'm more interested in research and also I've never had alcohol before" ]

video;

[celticromanstone]

Pity. I hate drinking alone.

What's your name, dear?

video;

[heirtonothing]

I’m Zelda. I’ve taken the throne of Knowledge.

video;

[celticromanstone]

Hmm. An important throne for someone so young.

video;

[heirtonothing]

[ Wow, rude! She blushes hotly. ]

I’m more than a hundred years old.

[celticromanstone]

[ Heather arches an eyebrow. ]

As I said.

video;

[heirtonothing]

And what, pray tell, is old enough to your way of thinking?

video;

[celticromanstone]

Well, a few hundred at least. Time to gain some of that knowledge.

video;

[heirtonothing]

The pursuit of knowledge is worthwhile for its own sake, not only for the quantity of knowledge one obtains.

video;

[celticromanstone]

[ She raises her eyebrows at the angry young woman. ]

Quantity does help, does it not?

video;

[heirtonothing]

[ She's not angry, per se, just... perturbed. She huffs a sigh. ]

You can have a great deal of knowledge and still be entirely useless. It depends what you mean to do with it.

video;

[celticromanstone]

It's always about what you do with it, darling.

video;

[heirtonothing]

[ SIGH some people are just kind of exhausting, you know? ]

Well, if you disapprove you're welcome to take it from me. I don't need a throne to continue my studies.

video;

[celticromanstone]

[ She's old, bored, and freaked the hell out. So, ya know. Sorry not sorry. ]

Oh no. I quite like the pretties on my throne.

video;

[heirtonothing]

Then it's hardly your concern, is it?

video;

[celticromanstone]

Shouldn't it be all our concerns?

video;

[heirtonothing]

No, it shouldn't. My age has nothing to do with you.

video;

[celticromanstone]

I meant knowledge, darling.

video;

[heirtonothing]

My age has nothing to do with my ability to hold a throne, either.
