005 | Video + Action

[marchens]

[She turns on the video feed as she reads aloud this thing she found called a 'horoscope' from a magazine she found'. The general idea of this horoscope intrigued her, so she decided to see what hers was for today.]

"Make a date with yourself as soon as you possibly can -- take yourself out to a nice long lunch, buy yourself that hot new gadget you've had your eye on, book a luxuriously long massage or just hole yourself up in your bedroom with a good book for a few hours. Today you've got to do something for yourself -- and let everyone else fend for themselves for the day. If you don't remind yourself that you're worthy of indulgences and preferential treatment every once in a while, then who will?"

Maybe I will take myself out to lunch today. That sounds like a wonderful idea! So does a massage and just reading a book in my room with no distractions.

Yes, that sounds like a plan!

[With a small giggle, she looks towards the camera with a smile and then turns it off.]

((ooc: Estelle is affected by the That's Your Horoscope for Today curse. Basically, she is going to be very unnaturally selfish and could care less about that child that may have just tripped and hurt themselves right in front of her.

Action open either for housemates/people visiting the house when she's holing herself up in her room, or out and about getting her lunch, that massage or just wandering about the City.))

[ Aww, she seems so happy that it's enough of a reward for the moment. He imagine she's wanted to do this for a long time. He jumps after the stick again and prances back with it once more. ]

[She doesn't have any treats with her, or else she would reward him with those! And going to buy treats doesn't cross her mind today.

But seeing him go after the stick once more and come back with it, she can't help but be wonderfully delighted. Maybe she could take the dog home! But her massage...

Maybe after her massage, she can take the dog home and convince everyone there to keep it? This dog seems to like her, unlike Hamlet who sees her and walks off...

And thus once more she throws the stick. It's so repetitive, but she can't help but she's savoring every moment.]

[ And right now, he really doesn't mind just running back and forth for her doing the exact same thing. He has a lot of energy, and for some reason just seeing the stick go flying is exciting to him; he feels like he has to go after the stick just to prove he can bring it back to her as quickly as possible!

If she tried to bring him home, well... He wouldn't resist! He'd have no problem staying for a little while as long as he got home before midnight. If he was going to find out his fur wouldn't change into clothing, he would want to find that out in his own room. ]

[And she plays catch with the dog for a little bit longer before she realizes it’s almost time for her appointment. Yes, she would love to play with the dog some more, but right now her massage is more important than the puppy, no matter how cute it is and how much fun she has had playing with it!

Getting the stick one more time, she simply places it on the ground and pets him a few more times.]

I have to go now, but if you’re still here when I get done with my massage, I would love to take you home!

[With that, she turns away, waving at the puppy.]

I hope to see you then!

[And off she walks to her most important appointment.]

[ It was fun while they were still playing! When she sets the stick down, though, he knows it's over. Even if he wanted to make her happy so much that he'd play dog for her all day, it wouldn't be practical.

Sitting down in the street, he waves back by shaking his paw at her. She even gets a bark good bye! Hopefully she won't feel too bad when he's gone later... ]
