Lasting endevours

[awedprowess]

The shrine in the estate is undergoing improvements. Since it is never too early to plan for the future, I have ordered tomb stones to be created to mark the spot that I will one day lie in state. Tezuka, I am having one made for you as well. They will look as follows:

I have also commissioned a statue in your likeness. The sculptor produced a satisfactory product on his third attempt. It will stand in the upstairs hallway, close to the bedrooms.

Tezuka's butler, I neither know nor care what possessed you to engage in your new look. I do know that you will not approach my fan girls with such a style. See me forthwith and we will arrange a temporary alternative.

Seiichi, please inform your sibling that there is no need to demonstrate her fan-holding skills outside my office window each morning. They are merely mediocre.

Ah, Keigo, always so wise. You never know which day may be your last.

I would apologize for my sister, but she only does so because you hardly ever return her calls.

[awedprowess]

Seiichi, I am so delighted to hear from you. I did almost think you were avoiding me.

As to the date I depart this world; the carvings are made from stone. I assure you they will keep for several millennia.

I would have thought that talking to the girl several times a week was adequate. Surely she has more hobbies than you, ahn?

[prettynotweak]

Or on vacation, Keigo.

They will. I only hope they will not get buried over the years.

She requires several times a day. Surely, you must have known what you were getting yourself into.

[awedprowess]

Such spontaneity. I do hope it eased all the pains in your body.

They will sit in the family estate shrine. It will be cared for by my heirs.

Given I had only yourself as a marker point, I was surprised to see she knew how to operate a phone at all.

[prettynotweak]

It was truly enlightening.

Rome and Greece forgot their temples and their gods. Egyptians forgot how to build pyramids. You place much faith in your line.

As you can see, we both inherited slightly different qualities.

[awedprowess]

I can only imagine.

And yet, do we not know the Greek and Roman gods? And the pyramids stand today.

So I see. The level of desperation in both of you is slightly unpleasant.

[prettynotweak]

Your tombstone is too small to remain visible. Mother nature is a swift landscaper.

Oh? I'm so very curious. How am I desperate?

[awedprowess]

If that is in doubt, I shall have it placed in a suitable mausoleum.

You bedded a man whose education is in shoe shining.

[prettynotweak]

Your insight is fading dearest.

The heart wants what the heart wants.

[awedprowess]

There is only so much planning one can do without setting up an event doomed to failure.

And reveals the inner workings of the individual in which it lies.

[prettynotweak]

That seems to often be the case with you no?

Perhaps. Every story has twenty different sides.

[awedprowess]

No.

Most have two. Unless the people involved suffer from schizophrenia.

[seriousaura]

No.

[awedprowess]

It is done. Your mother approved.

[seriousaura]

That makes it even worse.

[awedprowess]

I sent your mother one of the two rejected sculptures. Its inaccuracies did not seem to trouble her. She implied she does not see you enough to notice.

[seriousaura]

This falls under the category of "Things That Make Me Wonder About Your Sanity."

[awedprowess]

Really Tezuka, you should be thankful. It is likely she will don the statue in lilacs rather than trouble you with them.

[seriousaura]

I would rather visit her more often than have her look upon a statue.

[awedprowess]

It is feasible that if you did so, she would have no desire to retain the statue. The same is possibly true for myself.

[seriousaura]

Aa. You see me three time more than you did previously. It is a great improvement, in my opinion.

[awedprowess]

Surely you would not wish for me to say it is ever enough, na? I am gratified you also believe it to be an improvement.

[seriousaura]

No I do not. If you did, I would say you are perpetually unsatisfied and should look into other avenues.

[awedprowess]

There are no other avenues that provide adequately for me. Consider it a compliment. And come for dinner.

[seriousaura]

Then there is nothing to complain about. Breakfast as well?

[awedprowess]

I am not complaining. Merely commissioning statues. Breakfast ... would be perfect.

[seriousaura]

I really wish you wouldn't. Aa.

(ooc: Game, set, and match. Tezuka. 6-0)

[awedprowess]

They are magnificent, Tezuka. There is no need to be churlish. Do you wish to ... dine ... at mine or yours?

--
(ooc:.... yes.)

[seriousaura]

Michaelangelo's David is magnificent. Statues of myself, no. Yours. I'll drive to my office from there.

(ooc: :D )

[awedprowess]

I have no interest in a man who looks like a small boy. In all areas.

If you came out to the estate, you could see the statues for yourself.

[seriousaura]

There is symbolism in the piece for a reason, Atobe.

Driving all the way out there is unnecessary. Your apartment is quite a bit closer.

[imbluedabade]

Very morbid of you.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, Atobe-san.

[awedprowess]

Acknowledging ones own mortality is hardly morbid. If you foolishly believe in eternal life on this planet there would be no drive for achievement.

I have shaved my head only once. And not nearly so brutally.

[imbluedabade]

Still, it seems very emperor Hadrian to start on it while in your twenties.

Ah, I thought you were referring to the wig I had made in the likeness of your hair. My baldness is more offensive?

[awedprowess]

The stones are works of art. They will serve a purpose before I am deceased.

I had not observed the wig. A fitting choice, most certainly. Far superior to your previous ... twin.

[imbluedabade]

A mausoleum does make for extra storage space.

Ah, I will pass along the critique to my hairdresser. Your fangirls truly appreciate my wig.
