Large as a Barge

[Given the recent events Peola's been pretty irritated. Not just because of the GREAT Xun Ostberg, self proclaimed GIGA man (Though in all honesty he played a major part in things) but also the fact that Prometheus managed to get away through the whole thing (also partly Xun's fault). As such she was currently squeezing down on one of those stress ball toys... and it looked like it was about to explode from the amount of pressure she was putting on it as she muttered angrily to herself. The arrogant blowhard was thankfully not allowed anywhere near the Unity Group's facilities... and if he did get through Peola would have been tempted to introduce him to Kagura.]

By the sun... who else is going to end up chasing me here...

[She's deep enough in her irritation not to notice you. Talk to her?]

"Whoever comes after you next," Dido says, cracking her knuckles fiercely glaring, "we'll all give them a lesson in Feminism!"

She then pulls out a ziplock plastic baggie filled with warm pastries. "Want a cookie? I just baked some!"

[not_a_prize]

Sweets always help my mood.

[Cookie accepted. Nom.]

I'd just be happy to punch them in the face...

[actuallyselfish]

"We can make it a lesson in Fist-Based Feminism." Dido says with a shrug, nomming down on a cookie of her own.

"Though I'm confused...where exactly does your homeworld stand on gender equality and the like?"

[not_a_prize]

Well... women and men were mostly on the same level as far as I knew. I saw plenty in my brother's regiment and I know a couple of the noble houses in the court have women representing them...

[Peola pressed her free hand to her forehead in a fist.]

Which just annoys me to the sun with how my father acts with me.

[actuallyselfish]

"He's old school?" Dido inquires. "Really old school?"

[not_a_prize]

Well that's one way of putting it...

He's more used to the way grandfather did things than how they should be done.

"And there's no mother in the picture, I'm guessing?" Dido asks.

[Peola nodded.]

She left a while back. Some time after Ourania. Can't remember what it was about but whatever it was she was angry.

[actuallyselfish]

"...huh." Dido says. "Call me crazy, but it sounds like she ran off for the same reasons as you!"

[not_a_prize]

I don't know... maybe? I mean it wouldn't be too odd...

[actuallyselfish]

"Heh." Dido says. "Betcha 20 bucks we'll find her hiding on Earth just like you!"

She coughs. "So what's the game plan? Beat off the suitors as they come? Go to the source and browbeat your father into withdrawing his proclamation? Or maybe weaving a tapestry?"
