Open: All that you are is a face in the mirror

[vineleaves]

That was certainly a weird dream. If he hadn't experienced everyone else being ...weird alternate versions, he wouldn't think anything of it, but considering the fact that he had, he is now wondering if it happened to him, as well.

First order of business though is of course checking on Mercutio, to make sure he is back. Once that particular fear is gone, he decides breakfast is in order, then he should check up on the garden. Hopefully today will be normal and uneventful.



If anyone would like to speak with regular Dionysus now that he is no longer an AU, feel free! Or honestly if you just want to talk to him anyway, that's fine too.

"Oh no, definitely not. Don't be ridiculous, dear. That's when you just switch to flannel cravats."

[futaille]

He laughs. "Oh, is that how it's done?"

[vineleaves]

"Yes, I'm honestly confused as to why you wouldn't already know this. If it gets cold enough you just switch to -- wait, have you seen a puffy vest before?"

[futaille]

"A what now?"

[vineleaves]

He laughs. "Much more modern, but I didn't know if you'd maybe seen one here or not. Basically a quilted vest, but they're shiny polyester satin, and each section of the quilting sort of puffs out a bit. They're very warm but kind of ugly. I was going to say if it's very cold you could get a cravat like that. Joke doesn't work if you don't know what I'm talking about though, so you can imagine the stress I'm under."

[futaille]

He grins. "I will attempt to get the closet to make me a cravat like that."

[vineleaves]

"There goes all hope of me being considered a benevolent god anymore, now that I've unleashed that curse upon the world."

[futaille]

And that makes him laugh. "Or maybe I'll go to the attic and ask our resident tailor to make one."

[vineleaves]

"Oh no, you can't inflict this on poor Kade as well," Dionysus laughs. "What did he ever do to you?"

[futaille]

"I'll tell him it was your idea."

[vineleaves]

“Noooo, he’ll haaaate me,” Dionysus giggles.

[futaille]

"Not possible," he says emphatically.

[vineleaves]

“It’s very possible, actually.”

[futaille]

"Oh, you're right. I somehow forgot to factor in the fact that most people are idiots."

[vineleaves]

“But that’s your favorite thing to do!” Dionysus puts his hand on Grantaire’s forehead. “Are you sick?”

[futaille]

"I think I've been spending too much time around people who aren't idiots. It's unnatural."

[vineleaves]

“Are you complaining about the lack of idiots here? Don’t let the mansion spirits hear you, you’ll get an Idiot Me next time instead of just a Mortal Me.”

[futaille]

He laughs. "Or maybe there will be an Idiot Me. Or at least a More of an Idiot Me."

[vineleaves]

"But then it wouldn't be you spending time with him, would it? You'd be -- I dunno, napping, or whatever I was doing yesterday." It's not like they swapped, after all.

[futaille]

"Huh. You're right. How unfortunate."

[vineleaves]

"Now, if they'd keep you here at the same time that they bring another version of you..."

[futaille]

"Oh, Christ, the ridiculousness we could get up to."

[vineleaves]

Yeah, ridiculousness, that's what Dionysus was thinking he could get up to with two Grantaires. Totally. "I, for one, would certainly love to see it."

[futaille]

It was absolutely the ridiculousness. What else could it possibly-- Oh right. "Oh, I bet you would."

[vineleaves]

"I'm just saying, I think there's a lot of different activities the three of us could get up to."
