The Meet and Greet Meme
For Characters
 This is the IC version of the The Role Call Meme



[The Rules]

1. Find the thread for the canons/fandoms of your character. If you don't see one, make one!

2. Post with all of your character accounts. Yes, all of them. Throwing in your entire musebox is totally fine in this meme. (Please write down the name and canon/fandom of the character in the subject line, and also if they're canon, AU, crossover or OC, etc.)

3. AU characters are totally OK. Crossover/fusion characters may post at all the fandoms/canons their crossover/fusion is derived from. Fandom OCs may post at their fandom/canon's thread. Original Story/Universe OCs will have their own thread.

4. Tag around all over the place - Canonmates, non-canonmates, everything is OK!

[A saccharine voice pipes up with an opinion.]

Oh..? I couldn't imagine why that should be the case.

[She offers a bright little smile; of course she isn't being sarcastic.]

This will end so well

[hee_hee_hee]

[Meanwhile, Viola's smile never falters once, nor does it increase in size. It's almost like her face is just stuck that way.]

Well... If I had to guess...I would say that my family...is probably the main reason why. The Cadaverini family isn't well known...for its friendliness.

Hee... Hee... Hee...

Of course it will. Also much love to you for playing Viola!

[hawthorned]

[The bandaged girl's laugh is silvery and effortlessly eerie in timbre. Annoyed, Dahlia is gripped by the desire to demand to know what the hell is so funny, but refuses to let herself get worked up by unimportant riff-raff.]

...I see.

[A thoughtful pause, and a more disdainful glance masquerading as concern. The Cadaverini family is notorious; she's heard of them tangentially before... well, before that unpleasant business with a certain defense attorney. She smiles sweetly at the thought of Mia Fey being killed, preferably in some excruciating and humiliating manner.]

It isn't very nice of people to assume that apples don't fall far from trees, don't you think?

Aw thanks, she's a lot of fun. Likewise, lots of love for playing Dahlia!

[hee_hee_hee]

[It's often said that it's better to laugh than to cry. With all the things that happened in her life, she's found it better to just laugh. At everything. Almost all the time.

...or she could just be one creepy woman, who knows.]

It's not, but people...aren't very nice, are they? That's one of the reasons...families like mine exist. We help...take care of people...

[Well. This woman sure is...nice. Being in the mafia sure does make one skeptical, but like hell Viola is going to let Dahlia know that. She'll just keep smiling, holding up that facade for as long as possible. She's probably wrong anyway...]

...I don't believe...you gave me your name. Then again...I did not give you mine either. It's Viola...

[hawthorned]

Charmed.

[She isn't. Dahlia briefly considers giving the girl an alias, but as the room they're currently in has a few insufferables who can and would oust her, there's no point.]

I'm Dahlia. Dahlia Hawthorne. [There's something a little sinister in the way she gives her name, like she should be smirking maniacally instead of smiling innocently. The effect is only accentuated by what she says next.]

Taking care of people is a very noble task in my opinion, Viola.

[hee_hee_hee]

The feeling is mutual...I assure you.

[Most people would probably be either unsettled or terrified by Miss Hawthorne here. But Viola just keeps smiling.

That name...it may sound at least a bit familiar to the young woman. Perhaps it was in the news or on a newspaper? Oh well, she guesses it's not really important.]

...you and I seem to have similar mindsets. Very similar mindsets.

[hawthorned]

[Viola's unwavering smile is pleasing for once. Any fool who doesn't know about the reputation that has been hoisted on Dahlia by that damn Mia Fey is clearly asking to be taken advantage of.]

What can I say? Great minds think alike. [A well faked, but sweet laugh. Cue dainty white butterflies!] Or so I've heard.

Have you tried any of the food thoughtfully provided for us?

[hee_hee_hee]

[Viola doesn't smile because she doesn't know any better, she smiles because it's just a metaphorical mask.]

Tried...? Why, I provided some of it...for this little gathering...

Everything was made special...from family secrets.

Hee... Hee... Hee...

[hawthorned]

[The statement is very ominous, yes, but Dahlia isn't easily rattled. Only people of lesser psychological fortitude would be intimidated.]

What might those family secrets be? We have a few of our own. [A beat, and one of those so-very-harmless smiles.] I'm told that my coffee is to die for.

[hee_hee_hee]

...

[Yeah, she keeps her mouth shut about the family secrets. However...the mention of coffee that's to die for does interest her.]

Oh? I get that...a lot, actually. Coffee...as well as my pastries...

[hawthorned]

[Dahlia doesn't miss the evasion of the question, but she does approve of people who know how to keep secrets. Blabbermouths and idiots on the other hand receive zero tolerance.]

I've never tried that before... [Approximating a curious look.] .. Would you mind giving me pointers on how to leave a memorable impression? With my baking, I mean.

[hee_hee_hee]

There's lots of ways, really. But...I think I can give you some pointers. Don't be afraid to try new things or...crack some eggs, practice makes perfect, and...don't get discouraged if things get a little...messy.

[Brief pause...]

If you'd like...I could show you a thing or two.

[hawthorned]

[Perhaps what Dahlia ought to be doing is making excuses to leave, but instead she smiles a wicked little smirk at the offer. Unbelievably creepy or not, Viola has piqued her curiosity.]

Oh? I'd like that very much. I'll even be sure to take notes.

[hee_hee_hee]

[That answer actually surprised her. It had been so long since anyone wanted to spend time with Viola out of their own volition... not including her family, of course. Deep down she was really happy about this! Happy...and a bit skeptical. The last person who HAD wanted to spent time with her was Don Tigre...or so she thought.

One couldn't really blame her for being surprised...and suspicious.]

...that sounds nice. Where and when would you like us to meet?
